My take is that arenas are very useful, but not to use as a stack so much as to allocate a bunch of memory piecemeal but free it all at once. (The "pop" function in TFA is just not relevant to my use cases for arenas.)

For example, if you're decoding a certificate, or maybe something larger and more complex, a decoder might malloc() every little thing as it goes, which then necessitates free()ing each of those things when you are done with the whole decoded thing. But if you can have the decoder allocate from an arena, then when you're done using the decoded object you can just free the arena.

The decoding example is very common. Whether it's JSON, XML, ASN.1/DER/whatever, Protocol Buffers, Flat Buffers, or anything else, it is very common for decoders to create a ton of garbage to collect. Optimizing that garbage collection seems like a useful thing to do, but it's hard to do in a memory-safe language because every reference to a sub-object of the decoded object will need to be dropped in order for the object's arena to be released. How would one handle this in Rust, C++, or Java?
"Several orders of magnitude" by what dimension? Engineering labor? Hardware expenses and testing? You can't just throw out a dimension of scale and say, oh it's so-and-so hard that's why it costs billions.

If you were trying to build L4, you'd hire a small team of exceptional engineers, and spend a few thousand on hardware tests. Billions doesn't come close.

You'd try and get Level 2 to be as satisfactory as possible, and see what percentage of the time you could achieve Level 3.

I'm not quite sure what your point was in the first sentence - that is always better, yes. We don't have access to analysis done by the EEs in charge of making the plug decisions, but we're already seeing high profile failures, which is unusual.

Even with connectors and cables without those early problems, there are often longer term problems that show up over time - cables fraying at the connectors due to movement, plugs and connectors building up corrosion (and hence having higher resistance), connections loosening or getting bent, etc.

The link you posted, and your later statement seems to support the same view. I'm just repeating it so the folks dismissing this as just an issue with the badly designed adapters Nvidia distributed (in some cases?). It's overall a connector and spec that's on the edge of the performance envelope with some 'obvious' types of field failure modes that don't seem to be properly addressed.

Honestly, I'm a bit shocked they went with 'mountains of parallel power feeds' solution instead of... I don't know, doing 6 gauge stranded, which seems like the obvious choice to me? Parallel power feeds like this are always the source of endless fussing and headaches due to exactly the problems we're seeing. Trying to save a couple cents by using more of the same materials they have on hand I'm guessing?

> But today's America is not poorer.

Take a look at (say) 30th-percentile incomes vs. the costs of food/housing/medical care now. Vs. in the mid 80's. Computer goodies might be a whole lot cheaper now, but the basic costs of living for the less-well-off are sure as hell not.
Generally, you have to ask doctors already in the know. You find the top academic medical center in your area, and you ask the relevant specialist there who the absolute top person in their field is for a second opinion.

It's not always a guaranteed correct answer - I know for a fact of some people at absolutely top ranked institutions, with top pedigrees, who clearly got there by academic skills and are absolute shit as clinicians - but for the most part, it'll get you where you need to go. Generally the only way you'll end up with one of those shiny pieces of shit is if referred to them strictly by reputation; no one that's worked with them would make that referral.

It's also an answer likely to overlook excellent clinicians - many (many!, maybe most) very good clinicians aren't academics, and this won't route you to them. But you're okay with overlooking excellent docs, as long as you end up at a top doc.

Finding excellent doctors without shiny pedigrees is not something a layman can do. It's just something that local docs eventually come to know about other docs in their social-professional network, and by no means is it an unbiased assessment.

If all you have available is people's online CVs, look strongly at people with mediocre or shitty medical schools and highly prestigious residencies and fellowships. Those are people who had networking and social signaling working actively against them, and managed to positively impress everyone they worked with. E.g., a buddy of mine got into a shit medical school, and got one of the country's most prestigious subspecialties in a prestigious institution. He had to impress every single person he worked with, had to do surpass everyone on his standardized exams, and otherwise be top-of-the-top in every way. He's a ridiculously top-notch doc.

I'll note that a company that depends on a single employee like this has failed to plan and is already in trouble. No matter how well you treat them, your critical employees will leave. You might be able to pay them well enough to limit the risk on them taking another job (though few employers do) but even with that sooner or later they'll win the lottery, get hit by a bus, or just retire.

A business can and must hedge against critical employees leaving. It's much harder as an employee to hedge against your employer giving you the boot.
Yes every mainstream media source must be verified by 4 independent eyewitnesses and police body cam footage, but what musk linked to is "probably true" cause "trust me bro."
I think we pretty much agree (and I thank you for your "moderation"), but I go further. There is a fairly strong correlation between the thoughts and actions of others, including ourselves.
I care what others think of me, in part, selfishly, because I care what they do with those thoughts. And yes, sometimes being loved and being feared, just as an example, can cause others to give us money or attention, thus two distant feelings can have the same consequences.
Well, their customers aren't the highest functioning people. They have no problem with child labor. They have no problem with a grift.
Maybe some tiny percentage of wealthy can game it, i honestly dont know much about MediCAL to addres it directly.

However, I would much rather have a tiny percentage of wealthy game it, than a much larger number of poor people of the "wrong race" getting shafted and another number of wealthy people of the "right race" "gaming" it. Because race is pretty deterministic, you don't need to game anything. Poor people of "wrong races" get hurt by the current AA system heavily. While under AA based on socio-economic status, at least the poor won't get screwed over.
I think it’s a weird counter culture where social conservatives can find refuge. The rationals given for being religious are found post-facto. It’s my opinion that religious elements are being recreated in atheistic society especially in Academia. By keeping religious elements bound to an actual religion, and especially to an old slow moving traditionalist religion, it keeps those elements out of the rest of society. I think not having religion is not an option due to the way some people are wired.
It's figure 1 in the paper. Homa is over 10x faster than TCP (presumably CUBIC).

So call it Nature, why do you need a separate theological construction to realize all of nature is part of the universe which all came from the same start in the big bang and we should all respect each other? Is there really a need for anything else?

This is the distinction between old-school liberal (judge by content of character not colour of skin; what you do behind closed doors is your business as much as possible; free speech) and more recent liberal, which seems far more likely to keep the middle of those three, but jettison the others. Bill Maher's journey over the last 2 years has been interesting to watch as he tries to berate the modern left into returning to liberal roots.
> SAE Level 2 is the most practical self-driving we are ever going to get.

The bet is on this though -- what's impractical about having L4 fleets in major cities that replace Uber/Lyft? Just because you can't personally own one doesn't mean that in 10 years they can't be pretty ubiquitous and practical, particularly for city dwellers, which is most people. I'd bet that your statement is wrong on this basis. L4 cars already exist and are being used in large portions of San Francisco today.

And this is to say nothing of trucking & delivery, where self driving is in some ways easier to solve and a lot of progress is being made.
You mean

the same Russia that is surviving economic and military war from the entire west while Europe risks a political and economical collapse this winter, or

the Venezuela that survives despite inhumane sanctions imposed by the US, or

the China that lifted hundreds of millions from poverty and that can build a colossal sophisticated high speed transport system in mere years while the US can't even build a small high speed railway in California without gigantic cost increases and delays of years, or even

the Cuba that despite decades of inhumane sanctions from the US has one of the most advanced healthcare systems in the world?
The car-shaped form factor exists because we can't fit a working internal combustion engine into anything else, realistically.

But 99 percent of the time, people don't need the whole car. An electric kick scooter is more than enough, if there was somewhere to ride it that wasn't dangerous due to cars.

Economics will eventually fix this problem and infrastructure will match what people actually want.

I like Nord and I've been using it for a while, but I agree with the other comments about the low contrast which I also don't particularly like. But the thing is, I hate configuring color schemes, I find it tremendously tedious, and one thing that is nice about Nord is that it has such wide support, most applications come with a builtin Nord theme so I can just set it and move on.

Does anyone have recommendations for a higher contrast (preferably simple/few colors) theme that also has broad support?
The best engineers I've worked with were ones that performed terribly at college, so I'm not sure about using GPA as a proxy for how well they perform in the workforce.
I use something that many people don't know about or aren't talking/posting about: JsRender/JsViews. https://www.jsviews.com

JsRender can be used client-side and server-side using Nodejs for rendering templates.
JsViews adds observability (one-way or two-way) to JsRender on the frontend and requires jQuery (I like jQuery, it's overhead is minor ;-).

JsViews is intuitive, modular and extremely flexible and self-documenting in my opinion.
JsViews does not include a router as there are so many different ways of doing routing and depends on your needs.
The concept and syntax of converters is really cool too.
Presumably if you cannot use race to decide who gets a place, you cannot use race to decide who get's a scholarship. At least as Harvard University, different rules might apply for the NAACP etc.
And if you call to ask, the front desk secretary will have absolutely no clue how to route an out-of-the-ordinary request. If the doc you're calling doesn't already do the type of service you're looking for (e.g., a phone consultation), be absolutely firm about wanting to speak with the office manager.

The office manager may not be able to accommodate you, but if it can be done, they're the ones with the authority and autonomy to make it happen.
You skip the rise of leveraged buyouts, the end of lifetime employment, the end of defined-benefit pensions, layoffs from profitable corporations, rising competition from newly competitive Japan (and then Korea), and the whole 80s vibe. There really was a sea change in American employment culture from the 70s into the 80s. Just imagine that GM used to issue 35 year bonds!
what's going to happen with the comma bodies? when i saw the yt video of him explaining how the next challenge is to solve AGI and for that you need on device learning it really made sense to me. Is he stepping out of that path completely?

Isn't that kind of the point? Tesla would have L4 if the architecture was built right, but it wasn't, and now they're scrambling.

I think George made it very clear that the architecture is what these companies spending billions are getting wrong. Tech debt is more expensive than you think at the cutting edge.

You know what is total fluff? Tesla FSD. Disgusting. At least comma is honest about their hardware, and that's about all it comes down to.
Right, but humility is crucial in machine learning (and particularly in the area of self driving cars) where you're constantly calibrating uncertainty and risk with lives on the line.
You are onto something.

For hard tasks like engineering, you need a balance of ego (I can do this) and humility (this is hard, I need to work as a team and study the problem). Too much of either results in negative outcomes.
I think the main difficulty is that a neural decoder is allowed to make up lots of plausible phase information, which likely leads to pretty large L2 errors while retaining perceptual quality. So then you'll end up with large residuals even though you might only barely discern the difference perceptually.
Ghostwriter also includes 2 features that Copilot does not have: Transform Code (translate between langs/refactor code), Generate Code (prompt Ghostwriter to write full programs in one shot)

Plus, Ghostwriter is integrated with the Replit platform, meaning you get all the benefits Replit offers as a portable development environment you can take with you anywhere you go and host instantly.
Why would you subject your children to anything that is even remotely related with Elon Musk?
This reminds me of the Chinese revolution, where after the Communists took control of everything except Taiwan, many international organizations continued to insist that Taiwan was the actual representative of China, and Taiwan held the Chinese vote at the UN until 1971. So that's about 22 years of pretending.

I'm no fan of either communism or the chinese revolution, but I always thought that was ridiculous, that a country so big as China had no UN representation except via Taiwan, and that Taiwan held a permanent member UN security council seat.

If, for example, Russia conquers all of Ukraine, then how long will some guy sitting in London keep pretending to be the Government of Ukraine? At some point, all the social media accounts, internet registries, country codes, etc -- they have to be updated to reflect reality.
Wow. With the recent remix drama this is an interesting development.
Especially since the original Wii sold so incredibly well and had such a great price point for so long.
Not sure I'm following that. So a business owner comes up with a brilliant idea that doesn't meet the guidelines but which they believe is substantially safer, the parent buys that design based on "it's super safe" promises, and it kills the child. Maybe the business owner just thought they were super smart, but they weren't.

And the resolution is a liability policy for the total value of the company, presumably when things were going well and not post-death?

I'm not worried about business owners who know they have a terrible product and are betting on not paying out. I'm worried about the ones who think they've got a great product but don't.

Even a staunch defender of meritocracy will admit that life isn't fair if they are honest.

The important thing to consider is the benefits afforded by meritocracy. When we have adequate filtering mechanisms to help put competent trustworthy people in positions of power, we get less bridges that collapse, less space shuttles that explode, less government officials demanding bribes, and less subtle failures at many levels of the economy. These failures are years downstream of the decisions that set people on their path in life. Most people have not yet mastered their profession; helping this process along is good for everyone.

Those who criticize meritocracy should be honest with themselves as well that these failures can happen.
He doesn’t defend the metaverse spending. He argues it’s not that much comparably but a) that’s kinda subjective. Is 10 out of 40 billion a lot? and b) that’s no defense really.
Amazes me how closely these forms of transportation are policed when the average hood height of pickup trucks I see everywhere equals or surpasses the height of most women I know. If you had to design a machine to optimally kill pedestrians I don't know how you could do better, beyond appending a thresher to the front. The engineers who designed these should be ashamed of themselves. Living in Atlanta generally has really accelerated my deep dislike of car-centered urban design. It will take a lot more than unbanning electric scooters to change things, but at least it's a step.
I have to say, I never understood the huge emphasis on colonizing worlds outside our solar system. My pet theory is that by the time we are capable of such a thing (and thus, capable of making spaceships that can sustain human life for the duration of the trip), I'd argue we've become a space native species who are very much used to living our lives on ships. I'm not saying colonization wouldn't happen, but it'd be the thrill seekers looking for something new.
Cherry-picked is right! The original thread picks on the SeRCH foundation, which got a little over 1% of the grant money based on their own figures. The grant was to "support and expand their signature program ... which amplifies the voices of Black, Indigenous, women of color and non-binary people of color in STEM fields". That's what the money is going toward. There are a lot of people who become enraged at the idea of their money going toward causes like that, and those people are called "bigoted asshole racist pieces of shit." Indeed those people should not donate to Wikipedia.

I don't pretend to know what the hell the sentence about counterspaces and hyperspace and fluid "place-times" means, but it sounds like someone reading the words "hyperlink" or "daemon" and concluding the Internet is woo-woo mysticism. They're shaking their fist at these words without even attempting to understand what they mean. They say in that very sentence that they're borrowing terms from fiction because they find them useful. It's the height of cherry-picking and straw-manning to criticize all of Wikipedia's grant-giving because 1% of it went to a recipient with otherwise noble goals that uses weird words sometimes.

I learned a bit of Perl from authors who focused only in Perl, great videos and books that allowed me to understand Perl how it worked differently from Python (at the time was taking over learning media).

But using Perl in the real world was much more difficult. Posting to Perl Mongers about a simple question of some block was often met with equally difficult answers. Many Perl scripts used at my past work places were written by very well versed Perl developers, using every possible shortcut to make the code smaller (and more confusing).
I agree that Wikipedia eventually converges to something close to truth. However, that takes time. Since the event in question is fairly recent, I'd still take everything written about it on Wikipedia with a grain of salt.
> But what other options do we have?

Well, most of modern society has decided that once you've satisfied your basic needs, hedonism is the answer. Travel, good food, good times with friends, etc. That's what most people are living like and what the culture creates. No need to find hidden portals.
