You got tripped up on one word I included "murdered". Sending one's people in to annihilate the peoples of the land (some would say genocide) regardless of gender, age, active participation in combat, etc would qualify as murder.

Thou shalt not commit murder.*

*Unless I explicitly tell you to, then it's okay.

In the US (no idea about other countries):

Put everything you own in the name of a living trust. You can still control the assets, or take them back out of the trust if you want.

Then your will names the living trust as the beneficiary. Your executor thus has access to all of it and you don't have to tell him/her about every single thing in advance.

But IANAL. I've probably left out a lot of details. See an estate lawyer.
Most lawyers can't either,

Brazilian politics aside, just because Mussolini said it doesn't make it the definition. Of course Mussolini would describe it in such a way -- it's an incredibly self-serving definition. How else is a totalitarian dictator to mask the fact that his regime is entirely about his own personal power and not some Platonic ideal called "the State"? How else is he to rally normally sensible, everyday people around a cause other than to appeal to their sense of nationalism, probably the only commonality they all share? There's a very good reason Hitler was called Fuhrer and Mussolini the Duce. It should give you a very strong clue about the important aspect of fascism that your comment tries to elide
When did I say he was a sinner? It's just really odd to characterize the a member of arguably the most powerful political dynasty in US history to be "challenging the status quo".
> AI creates a (crypto)currency that has USD $1M+ market capitalization (at 2022 adjusted value) for more than 6 months

Is this a sign that the AI has succeeded at becoming intelligent or failed? I don’t think any of the cryptocurrency milestones are plausible signs of progress. Surely GPT could have generated some preposterous “white paper” circa 2021 and with a little help achieved that.

Oh, you mean dinosaurs! There's basically never been a full one found. The closest one ever was found under dubious circumstances. The process for extracting them is to make tiny chips in rock and casts as you go along pretty much allowing you to shape as desired. The sites are of course highly guarded. Of course the most complete was the ever popular TRex.

Dinosaur paleontology is a religious racket. Sure there was lots of megafauna and their were some large flightless birds with various levels of feathering. Like anything though money corrupts and the money behind dinosaurs is huge. Every kid has toys, books, theres movies, TV shows, museums, etc.

"Empty" homes are actually useful for cities. And 61k is not a lot for SF. What's the stock?

Think how would you move to a city where all the stock is occupied. How someone who needs a larger unit would do (think on new parents), or if you want to move because your landlord is a piece of shit. You'd be screwed.

If you're in a city where is frequent to show units to múltiple people at the same time, you're in trouble and there are not enough units meeting demand.

This kind of talking points about vacant housing are nonsense. Vacant homes are good for everyone but for investors/landlords.

Are you worried about affordability, easy of access, disposable income and savings (consumption and investments) for the rest of the economy?

Then oppose this people as much as you can. Be vocal. Take it seriously.

Housing is not just another economic problem.
To be charitable to Elon Musk:

Solving the problem of fossil fuel for private transport? Meh.

Massive cost reductions in space exploration and development of reusable rocket boosters and technology to get us back to the moon? Pushover.

They have not. Not in California, New York, or Washington states anyway. California updates Tuesdays and Thursdays but nothing was filed last week.

Tesla filed 3 WARN notices in California in July so Musk or Musk’s lawyers at least know how to file them.

From what I understand, Twitter’s standard terms of severance allow for two months salary and benefits and some sort of accelerated vesting towards the next quarter. That’s been the big question for employees because they vest quarterly (though each person could have a different vest date) and the terms of the acquisition were that RSUs were converted to cash to be paid out on the vest schedule. Some in the press speculated that Musk was trying to avoid paying our November 1 vests by firing early, but given that you’d need a WARN notice anyway, that wouldn’t prevent anything. If there was an accelerated vest you missed by a few days, that might be something that could be avoided, but I don’t know.

Still, even if you are paying out two months of benefits and salary (and potentially maybe even more, with accelerated vesting), that doesn’t mean a company doesn’t have to file a WARN notice.

And with the expected figures being 25% of employees (~1800 people), that figure would qualify as a mass layoff by federal definition, irrespective of the company’s total size, and irrespective of the 50 or 100 per site thresholds that are true for specific states.

Facebook has been a really great shield for Apple in recent years by dominating the media through [advertising outrage].

Now that Facebook has decided to shoot itself in foot by going all in on the metaverse (the new narrative), a lot of Apple’s more self-interested decisions are starting to come to light. What started off as Apple’s commitment to privacy is now getting laid bare as pushing out and replacing their competition.

Or, more simply, ads have migrated out of the Facebook family of apps and into your OS. I can’t say this is an improvement.

I think it’s less about the design being bad and more about simplicity as a goal overriding everything else.

So learning an interface is frowned upon. Every interface must be designed as if the user has never seen it before.

Which is ok, as long as there’s also an alternative path which may take time and effort to learn but leads to increased efficiency and productivity.

Unfortunately, that alternate path takes a lot of effort. And worse, it leads to very few extra sales. The company which puts in the effort to build a complex but efficient workflow in addition to the initial easy workflow will get beat in the market by competitors who only focus on the easy workflow that looks great in demos leading to the C-suiters to buy it.

The best example is the pioneer of both these trends. Apple. It used to be that Apple insisted on a single button mouse so the primary interface was extremely easy to use. Yet, it spent a lot of effort including keyboard shortcuts, which were prominently displayed, everywhere. Unlike Windows, which basically only had Ctrl/Alt modifier keys, Apple has had the Ctrl/CMD/Opt modifier keys as integral parts for a very long time, encouraging those shortcuts. Apple also put s lot of effort to make their, and 3rd party applications easily scriptable (the choice of AppleScript however always held this back). The most MS did was VBA for Office.

But once Apple entered the iEra, it realized it didn’t need any of this to sell products anymore. The massive lag in supporting basic keyboard shortcuts on the iPad when using a keyboard is one of the strongest evidence for this.
Sounds to me like they're deciding what to do with the land, and then taking on the risk for whether the developed property is economically viable. They should be taxed for the value of the underlying land, but they are absolutely not useless middlemen.

Which is great if you have a traditional server application servicing a lot of independent requests, or giant linear equations that can be solved in parallel.

OTOH, the graph has an amadal's law section, which for many tasks is pretty out of steam (aka desktop web browsing/javascript JIT/etc).

I'm not going to be so stupid as to say 8 cores should be enough for anyone (while attached to a machine with 128) but you have to wonder if the stable diffusion style apps running on your desktop are going to be mainstream, or isolated to the few who choose to _need_ them as a hobby or a smaller part of the public that uses them for commercial success. AKA, I can utilize just about every core i'm given with parallel compiles, or rendering a 4K video, but I'm pretty sure i'm the only one in my immediate family that needs that. My wife in the past might have done some simulation work, but these days the heaviest thing she runs on her PC is office products.

This really gets back at the Arm big.little thing, where you really want 99% of your application usage to run on the big cores. The little cores only exist for background/latency insensitive tasks, and the odd case where the problem actually can utilize a large number of parallel cores and needs to maximize efficiency in the power envelope to maximize computation. AKA throw a lot of lower power transistors at the people rendering video/etc, and leave them powered off most of the time.

AKA, put another way, the common use case is a few big powerful cores for normal use, playing games, whatever with one or two high efficiency processors for everything else and a pile of dark silicon for the rare application that actually can utilize dozens of cores because its trivial to parallelize and doesn't work better being offloaded to a GPU. I suspect long term intel was probably right with larrabee, they were just a decade or two early.

So, economically I don't see people buying machines with a couple hundred cores that sit dark most of the time. Which will drive the price up even more, and make them less popular.
By context they must be talking about the clip of the Nascar driver riding the wall that's the subject of the article.
You are absolutely correct that the other guy doesn't understand basic economics but this comment is needlessly aggressive.
It would seem that groups of people getting along always necessarily involves some compromise between these, whether structured ("government") or the law of the jungle.
How does it disregard multi-core performance? As you said, it's showing the transistor counts going up, and it's also showing the rise in the number of logical cores.

According to Adrian Newey's book it came out in 2015 that Ferrari had a secret deal with the FIA that allowed Ferrari to veto any regulation changes.

>Please show me the user who espoused a Laissez-faire trade policy or strict constructionism and was subsequently banned for that expression.

THIS! Let me add on:

My argument any conservative who is still tolerable to debate, is this: I don't mind differing viewpoints in philosophy, or in scope of government, per se. I don't want someone banned from twitter for wanting to defund social services, or for thinking public education is a waste of money, for thinking trade unions are bad for citizens.

Hell, I'm not even opposed to allowing voices to those who say government has no right to compel people to get vaccines, however horrid the idea.

The line, and you know this matai_kolila, is when people post/repeat/retweet lies that originate out of bad science, or out of enemy nation-states, to back up their shitty ideas. Like saying the vaccine is not useful, or saying that COVID in spring of 2020 wasn't a threat, or "a litany of other things". A line exists between legitimate differences in political opinion, and outright bullshit lies, and while you can't be jailed for saying it (literal 1st amendment), private companies have no obligation to help smear the shit.
I've been using a new WebKit-based browser called Orion. It is super snappy, has compatibility with Chrome and Firefox extensions, has power-user features built-in, is privacy focused (collects 0 telemetry as a tenet -- they are donation based), and continues to add features at super fast pace. I highly recommend giving it consideration if you are looking to move away from Chrome.

Some features I love: tree-style tabs. cross-window pinned tabs. low power mode which auto suspends tabs. in place editing of websites. profiles are their own application instance. extensions work on iOS. per-page user-agent. built in notes. preventing auto-playing videos. all this while retaining a native macOS UX.

Seems like the latest Nvidia GPUs aren't really an improvement over the previous ones, but just bigger and proportionally more expensive. So maybe the leveling off in performance is already starting to happen.

Hot [module] reloading refers to dynamically swapping in an updated module or asset without reloading the page. When building nontrivial stuff HMR is pretty huge for productivity.

The CHIPS and Science Act is nowhere near a qualitative shift away from the investor-centric mentality of managing a public company. Many investors are short-term greedy and don't learn much about the real goings-on of the company. It makes a few things cheaper, but if you compare to TSMC and Samsung it's quite clear that Intel doesn't get anywhere near the amount of government money or political power that its competitors at the leading edge happen to have in their respective localities.
They basically did no testing at all on that machine, and reused the previous software which relied on hardware safety interlocks which had been removed from the newer model. It's literally a textbook case of how not to do mission-critical software.

That's definitely another source of regulations. Many of the very specific regulations that dictate minute details are about more competitive races though. For example the current regulation changes that called in effect in 2022 were all about aero that allows for better following and thus wheel-to-wheel racing. Mercedes' wing that flexed a few microns too much had nothing to do with safety
Chiplets aren't so much driven by a need for heterogenous processes as much as minimizing the yield impact of defects. Ian Cutress has a good portion covering it in this recent video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMcsW-myRCU.

In short, if your process produces 20 defects per wafer, and you can fit 100 chip on a wafer, you're going to end up with ~84% yield(ie, slightly less than 20% loss). If you are able to split that same chip into 2 equal-sized pieces and make twice as many, your yield is now above 90%.

AMD has also made them composable in such a way that they have to produce and stock far fewer ICs to fulfill all of their SKUs, which is also another fantastic benefit.
I mean, he did send out that classic "funding secured" unambiguous statement right? Which was insane and people doubted immediately. He had to settle with the SEC barely a month afterwards.
Although I agree, I think even then it is more homogenous in history than we are suggesting here. Take the automotive industry as an example. The major manufacturing centres have been in design lockstep for decades, and automotive design tends to influence architecture and product design through history as well.
I think you’re confusing “don’t know” with “not willing to do the basic research on what they’re looking for because there is no reason to do so”.

Why would an employer spend any time thinking about the salary they’re willing to offer when there is no penalty for not doing so. The party that does suffer are the applicants who have to sit through many rounds of interviews before finding out the max salary the job is offering is a fraction of what they’re being paid right now.

The lack of transparency is a classic neutral-lose situation, where the neutral party has the power in the relationship dynamics. It’s the perfect situation for the govt to step in and require transparency.
Is this actually a reinvention of the browser, or just another self-interested organization trying to grab a slice of the pie?

I download Arc and am immediately greeted with a mandatory account creation page (which asks for my name, even) with a footnote that says `tl;dr we don't spy on you`.

A web browser should be a purely clientside application; no logins required. Building a chromium riff that maintains serverside state about you as a user while saying "trust us :)" is in no way revolutionary, it's just another player in the nightmarish arena that is the modern web.
Something like parinfer is what’s needed here. Thread the needle between syntactical structures and direct manipulation thereof. We need to move past believing that a 1.5 dimensional editing interface is a good way to work with n-dimensional structures.

Good point. Mike D'Antoni credits his experience in Italy for the offenses he implemented in the NBA.
