> The problem with R49081 may be that it's a small number, thus hard to fill all the processing units of the GPU with the amount of parallel work the algo offers at this size. Another problem may be that the algorithm involving eliptic-curves is more complex, thus more work is needed to express it in GPU terms.

Well, 20kB is small, but also large. Too large to fit inside of 32-bit registers on the GPU (or even in 200+ such registers), too small to really take advantage of the GPU's much faster VRAM.

Its an interesting size. Larger primes almost certainly would benefit from a GPU no doubt. Smaller primes also would benefit from GPU (see cryptocurrency miners, where the entire program fits inside of a singular shader).

20kB though? Its... a weird size. Very interesting. If it were much bigger, or smaller, I'd be confident about porting the algorithm over to the GPU. But its actually more intimidating to be at that size (especially since 64kB L1 caches of CPUs is so darn good).

If I were forced to do this in GPU space, I'd have one-workgroup per number. I'd hope that the majority of the compute-time were spent on multiplication/division routines that would benefit from all 1024-threads (maxed size workgroup). But it'd be a more difficult program to write than a larger or smaller number.

I have coeliac (celiac) disease, ingestion of various cereal proteins (in wheat, barley, rye; thankfully not oats for me) cause an exciting array of gastrointestinal phenomena.

I grew up in the DC suburbs (VA side). There's definitely a lot of people who have 40-minute commutes or the like... but 20 and 30 minute commutes are not reasonably uncommon. When I had to cross the river on the Woodrow Wilson (in the era they were building the new one, no less, so perma-construction), my commute was regularly about 20-30 minutes long, although morning was routinely shorter than afternoon (295 just crawls trying to get back onto 495).
To be fair that seems to happen quite regularly for me on Netflix and Prime. The encoder hits a bug and the whole app crashes. Fortunately it's usually random and you can just restart the app.

Never seems to happen with pirated videos & VLC though.

Fifteen years ago, someone poorly read the 1999 Guiness book of records and wrongly concluded that Guiness called the Game Boy Camera the world's smallest digital camera. Aside from the fact that Guiness World Records are a pile of crap and untrusthworthy, it made no such claim. To the contrary, it claimed other digital cameras as the smallest.

Now think, how many time have you heard that fact when reading retrospectives on Game Boy, or watching Youtube videos?
I love this tool. Use it for emacs and I've written a few c++ programs that help me take quick notes on my phone via the shell. For example, if someone suggests I should listen to this or that album/movie/whatever, I note it down and let my mini program throw it into a file that gets sent to my server. It's like a ghetto cloud service :)

That makes sense if you take a hand-off approach to parenting, but if you spend any time trying to raise your kids, it's the wrong choice. A computing device they can easily program (so not an iAppliance or game console) is a powerful tool for developing their minds. Many children that age, if taught like an adult how sugar can harm them, will limit their intake of sugar. Giving them an assortment of other foods that are healthy makes it even easier for them to make the right choice. It's the same for TikTok.

If they are unable to understand, you have identified a problem you need to work on. If they understand but do not have self control, block it at DNS and work on self-discipline. By the time they can circumvent your controls, they will likely be ready to make good decisions.

No, you misunderstand. Wide contacts are not universally superior to narrow ones, and more often than not narrow contacts catch more bugs than wide ones do.

For example almost never does a programmer want int to rollover in a for loop. Defining that behavior doesn't help, and indeed makes tools like linters or sanitizers less useful.

You can easily write a robust parser in C. Just don't write a clump of code that interleaves pointer manipulation for scanning the input, writing the output and doing the parsing per se.

* Have a stream-like abstraction for getting or peeking at the next symbol (and pushing back, if necessary). Make it impervious to abuse; under no circumstances will it access memory beyond the end of a string or whatever.

* Have some safe primitives for producing whatever output the parser produces.

* Work only with the primitives, and check all the cases of their return values.

Sure, but using aluminum as an example, if we take the modern production of aluminum (as a proxy for underlying demand) and multiply by the price of aluminum in the 1800s (when it was so incredibly precious that it was chosen to cap the Washington Monument), we would expect the modern aluminum industry to have revenues of around $100 trillion, or about 1000x what it actually has. The point is just that one cannot assume a resource extraction industry's future profitability without taking into consideration how increased supply will also lower the price of the product.

The problem is that in the modern world there are many people who repeat the bullshit they've heard everywhere. Now you'll say that they're not bullshitters, but the people who originally said that (from the boobtube or or the pulpit) likely were bullshitters.

So is what they are saying still bullshit? Does the label really change depending on who's saying it and how they feel? If I report what they are bullshitting as bullshit, am I wrong because I'm now the one repeating it?

I personally prefer my labels on content to be less philosophical than that. I agree that you could understand something about the original BS creator by analyzing it's intent, but then you'ld have to figure out who originally said it, and in this crowd sourced world that's near impossible. That is especially true in the troll farms of China/Russia etc and the ugly scrum that is Twiddit.

I'm no fan of dark patterns, but the most-complained-about prompt here as I type this, the one with "ADD FRIENDS" or "SKIP," is very common, and the alternative of making both options identically blue seems like worse UX to me.

I suspect many people might feel better if the options were "ADD FRIENDS" as primary, and "MAYBE LATER" as secondary, since they wouldn't feel quit as uneven then.

Since the 1990s I haven't liked the term "recommender" as it has collected a tremendous amount of baggage most notably that the connotation that it is a technology that acts on you on the behalf of somebody else as opposed to a technology that you use to get control of the reality that there is too much information out there.

People are so used to information technology draining people of their agency and there is so much despair that it's an uphill battle to convince people that "filtering" and "navigation" could be part of the solution and not part of the problem.
If this was the plan, it’s an extremely stupid plan.

Even if the plan is to get rid of the entire payroll team, for example because you want to outsource payroll, you want at least a few of them in the transition because, without that, the transition will be rough and expensive (if there really is not payroll team at Twitter anymore, who even knows who’s still working there and who not? How do you know that you’re n)

Companies typically do that by buying loyalty from a few employees: “yes, your job will be gone 3 months from now, but we’ll keep you on the payroll, including health insurance, for 12, and you’re free to do what you want after 3”
It's almost as if the "anyone can do it without permission" argument is one of the reasons traditional finance evolved into the regulated system it is today.

> When your rocket engine is constructed by the the best TIG welders you can find carefully fitting Inconel parts together... it feels a waste to see that work crash and burn

Note that the rocket engines used by SLS (RS-25, and to a lesser extent the solid rocket boosters) were explicitly designed for reuse, as part of the Space Shuttle program; all the way back in the 1970s.

The four RS-25 engines that Artemis 1 dumped in the ocean had previously flown on Space Shuttles. IIRC they first flew in 1999 (although Shuttles only used 3 engines).

> If your booster is as disposable as a paper cup, with new ones flying off the assembly line faster than you could hope to rework anything, perhaps either the materials or the fuel are wasted but not so much work is wasted.

Also note that the marginal cost of an SLS launch is 4.5 billion dollars. That doesn't include all the one-off costs, like R&D; certification; restarting production lines; etc. Famously, it cost over a billion dollars to restart the RS-25 production line (so they can replace those engines being dumped in the ocean); despite claiming that the use of existing tech would save money!

In fact, refurbishing & upgrading those existing Shuttle engines cost more than producing brand-new RS-25s. Again, it was claimed that reusing the existing Shuttle engines would save money...

Despite the cost of these assembly lines, SLS rockets aren't "flying off" them. The (few) scheduled Artemis launches are separated by years.

Well, I think FTX and Alameda (specifically SBF) certainly realized where the money was coming from. How could anyone, much less a trading firm, be unaware of an extra 8 billion dollars in their accounts?

As for journalists - I'm not sure how exactly they would have known to discover this point. It seems obvious after the fact, but who would think to check "Let me make sure deposits actually go to the business I think they do"? Instead, what I mean here is that there were incredibly obvious signs of wrongdoing and I would expect that a critical and competent investigator would discover at least one such sign, write about it and be motivated to find more. That seems not to have happened which makes me think nobody was actually investigating a new startup with billions of dollars in an area rife with fraud - which seems like a pretty big condemnation for the class of people whose job is to investigate and analyze companies in that industry.

I second this. WSL2 is very well integrated. You just open a terminal and have your Ubuntu (or Debian or whatever you set as default) environment ready to go.

VS Code opens my projects inside WSL as if they were local.

> I know many people who believe in the literal fire and brimstone definition of Hell who are devout Christians.

This seems fishy to me. I'm sure you know (or know of) many people who you label in the category of devout Christians who believe in the existence of hell. It is a biblical teaching after all. But have you pressure tested their views in deep conversation to see if they hold to a 'literal fire and brimstone' view?

If you have, and feel confident that you are accurately representing their view, than I happily stand corrected. Just know that it doesn't track at all with my own direct experience, nor my studied understanding of the doctrinal teachings of the major Christian denominations.

> Just don’t claim you speak for all Christians…

This is an example of a statement that is so true it's devoid of information content. I would assume that a reasonable adult who is interested in investigating the bases for the theological doctrine of hell, is also well aware that there is denominational diversity of views within the faith.

The real problem with the 'not all Christians agree' public service announcements are that they have the insidious effect of leading people to believe that there is no subset of teachings on which Christians do agree and can speak coherently.

I know it's not your intention to undermine Christianity through this relativistic dilution and you are just trying to make sure the 'fire and brimstone and sulfur lake' view gets a fair hearing, but I do want to make the point that this pseudo-sophisticated bad faith argument is out there.
To me, it's about winning myself that really matters. You're the only winner or loser because there're only 2 people in the competition: You and You.
Yes, but see also "property testing" like QuickCheck and Hypothesis, the line is blurry.
This is actually a real problem with semiconductors. I often need carefully matched sets of transistors and diodes, and a quick and easy way to get them "good enough" is just to measure either a diode or the B-E junction of the transistor with a multimeter in "diode check" mode. I pin the paper strip to a piece of wood and let the temperature stabilise for about half an hour before I start, and only touch the component with the meter probes.

You can try this yourself. With any given 1N4148 you'll see the Vf indication on the meter change as the microscopic current warms the junction up a tiny bit. If the room (and thus the diode) is fairly cold, it can detect the heat from your finger at about 1cm away.

If you want your government to test food quality and inspect kitchens, then you trust your government in those things, and then can therefore trust that eating at a restaurant is safe. Part of what makes first-world societies work is that sort of effort. People can just go about their business and not have to investigate every little thing.

Similarly, the reason that the US has one of the most robust financial markets in the world is regulation. That regulation comes from governments and exchanges and it is intense. But that means that investors can generally trust financial statements, etc. Lowering the barrier to investment means more capital invested, making things better for everybody.

Trust is economically valuable and it isn't free.
