> Developers spend less time staring at hex dumps of data, preferring more structured output, tracepoints, and interactive debuggers as ways of tracking down problems. Debugging features in the kernel's memory allocators mean that many sorts of memory-corruption issues will be caught directly. Magic numbers are just not as helpful as they once were.

In most, maybe almost all of the places in the kernel, probably. If you get down to the very low-level nitty gritty: Bootstrapping code, low level memory management, exception handling, maybe context switching... expect to look at hex dumps a lot, possibly even directly through a hardware debugging interface that does not even know what debugging symbols are, let alone what "C code" looks like, and experience the joy the recognition of a magic number brings. Did Santa bring you saved state from an exception handler early this year?

But the article, or the patch, are not wrong, far from it. You are most likely not in that situation while debugging terminal code, as the original magic number file states as example.
"What about Gazprom" falls flat when Gazprom was sanctioned and Rosatom was not. No-one is claiming gas is better. I'm claiming we should do the thing which reduces the total amount of gas needed most quickly. Which is wind and solar.

As to China, the barriers to developing a renewable industry are vastly smaller than building a nuclear industry (as evidenced by Europe not sanctioning Rosatom but building new solar production, wind, and battery capacity).

Whether or not it's necessary, it remains true that when some countries try building their own infrastructure, they get it blown up by state sponsored terrorists https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet

I think WebAssembly requires explicitly linking which functions you will use, and does not have as complicated objects as JavaScript, so handling sandboxing will be simpler. It also is presumably might be able run more efficiently than a JavaScript code. (I think WebAssembly has some problems too, but there are some advantages.)
The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_GE9X used in the 777x (assuming it eventually gets certified) is significantly larger than the 747 engines. Even the engines used on the original 777 from the 90s outsize individual 747 engines, which is somewhat terrifying.

When I think I might want a book I pause what I am doing and search on Triftbooks using the app.

If it is cheap enough, I usually buy.

If it is available but not cheap, I typically let go because there will always be another book I want just as much.
I like the A380 because it’s so quiet and smooth, but if I had to deal with the 747 noise I had a soft spot for the Rolls-Royce RB211 engine like Qantas used on their 747-400 non-ERs. The triple stage turbofan spool-up sounded and felt awesome.

I’m guessing netiquette will evolve to discourage such behavior.
This is always deeply frustrating. You quickly get the sense that the person you're talking to hasn't experienced anything beyond simple float loops that are trivial for the compiler to autovectorize, or really bad examples of hand vectorization.

In the meantime, I constantly encounter algorithms that compilers fail to vectorize because even single vector instructions are too complex for the compiler to match, such as saturating integer adds. The compiler fails to autovectorize and the difference in performance is >5x. Even just something simple like adding up unsigned bytes, and all three major compilers generate vector code that's much slower than a simple loop leveraging absolute difference instructions.

That's even before running into the more complex operations that would require the compiler to match half a dozen lines of code, like ARM's Signed Saturating Rounding Doubling Multiply Accumulate returning High Half:
https://developer.arm.com/architectures/instruction-sets/int...

Or cases where the compiler is not _allowed_ to apply vector optimizations by itself, because changes to data structures are required.
Yes, I mean the trust of a friend-of-a-friend will never be as high as your trust in an immediate friend. So the trust networks I think will be small and brittle. Basically: you'll read content from a few people in a very carefully gardened group (Although it can contain things like media outlets etc), and as soon as you try to step outside that, you'll be knee deep in spam and generated nonsense.
I've been reading papers on generative deep learning models and recently read the book "Moonwalking with Einstein".

I think there's some interesting analogies with the chunking this author describes and learning an embedding space or "latent" in some modern machine learning models. Through repetition, inputs such as math symbols or words can produce latent vectors that may be greatly reduced in dimensionality compared to their inputs.

Interestingly, human have an incredible ability to rote memorize images extremely rapidly compared to other types of data, but simply remembering images of dozens of equations is not sufficient to become a great physicist!

I think, in a sense pure practiced repetition is not the same thing as memory recall.

I work for a company that actually runs surveys, and believe me: we don't know who the respondents are. They get a link with a randomly generated id, and that's it. For us, even their email address is hidden, because respondents register to panel at another company, which deletes this information three months after closing the survey, which usually runs for a few days. I can't vouch for the other company, of course, but I do believe them. Sometimes it would be really nice to know who these people are, because not only is non-response a problem, bad responses are an even greater problem, so we'd like to know who to exclude in advance.

So much for unbiased representation.
I wonder what's the source of non-determinism here? (During inference, I mean.)
A funny observation: I've had the best response rate and relationships with recruiters who are regular looking men. The attractive female recruiters mostly just send a message with the job info, but completely bail when you ask for a salary range and remote work policy. Maybe they get such a large number of replies that they don't need to bother with the ones asking difficult questions.

Exactly 1574 = 787 x 2.

Meanwhile during MCAS affair, 400 units of 737 Max 8 were stuck to the ground and 300 more were in production if I remember correctly, which shows we were producing the old 747 at a much slower pace.

That rant views freedom as purely individual, and not collective, or more likely the compromises in other to have both.

It also doesn't explain the difference between CBDC with traditional debit/credit card systems, which do impose a ton of restrictions to some in order to protect freedoms for others (whether demonitizing a porn site that does not hold uploaders accountable, or reducing tax evasion).

To use a 600MHz Arm Cortex-M7 to emulate the 6510 sounds completely meaningless, then you might aswell use a Raspberry or a PC with Vice?

If it was a microcontroller it might be a challenge and sort of interesting from a memory and power point of view.

The whole point with these 6502 adapters is that you preserve the use of real circuitry, you could pop a 1975 6502 in there!

For the SID, VIC2, 6510 and 6526 what we have now is all we'll ever get. Scarcity is and has always been the endgame.

Just like peak longevity 65nm SSDs X-25E from 2011 or the 14nm Xeon/Atom that where made in 2019, they will never come back because the underlying infrastucture to build them is gone forever!

Today is peak everything, nothing humans make from now on will have only benefits, it's a compromise now.
> I've seen power tools from certain companies adopt the same battery type across multiple of their tools

That's because electric power tools are sold as a platform: you choose a brand and buy in to their platform. For example I mainly use a driver + drill so bought in to Milwaukee. Ended up buying a lot of other kit from them too.
It isn't working.
To add to the other good comments, unions existed and were effective before there were any laws specifically enabling or regulating them.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_v._Hunt . There was no law which "artificially" granted the Boston Journeymen Bootmaker's Society power. The "five or six good workmen" who would have walked out should Horne continue to be employed, were exercising their right of free association.

And, fundamentally, that's where union power comes from - the right to collectively decide to quit.

Union laws give unions specific powers, it's true. But they also restrict union power. If you oppose the artificial granting of power, then you should also oppose the artificial restriction of power, and allow "jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns" [1] -- once-legal practices banned by Taft-Hartley and all fundamentally based in the power to collectively decide to stop working.

That's the truth of it. The sad thing is, there's probably a bigger market among NYT readers for more nuanced tech coverage than editors assume. Instead, there's a hierarchy of publications where these stories filter down, from the trade mags and review journals through to places like Wired, then finally to the big papers/mags. By the time the story gets there, though, it's lost all flavour.

> Would it? How would you tell? How can you prove that a piece of text was not written by an artificial intelligence?

You either read enough of them and attribute enough quality that you don't care that it was.
This isn't a system to prove whether strangers are human or not. It's a system to keep track of whether their output is human enough for you to bother reading it. If they write 100 things you think feel human, then you can have some certainty that the 101st thing will feel human. That's all. Won't say anything about whether strangers are human. The key here is "likely" and "whether you'll bother". A Turing-like proof of humannes will be possible for the foreseeable future but the caveat is of course a) you don't have time to do that and b) you don't have access to authors even if you did.

The social friends-and-their-friends trust networks have a vert quick dropoff too. If you trust your uncle to be human and exchange keys in person (and you'd be good at noticing whether his keys were compromised or he started signing off spam as human for $5), you'll likely never trust his neighbor that you never met as much. But perhaps the total "initial score" of an anonymous signature can be significantly higher if they are in a network you trust. This is directly analogous to normal "trust" where you might rather trust your uncles neighbor to babysit than a total stranger, even though you never met them.
Suppose the non-responders are identical to the responders. Then nothing is lost by trying to get them to participate again. But if they are not, replacing them will lose information.

> ill, busy, distracted by personal issues, absent, drunk

But being ill correlates (lightly) with being older, and being drunk heavily correlates with opinions. Being absent might correlate with wealth (and not even linearly). Personal issues probably correlate with education. Add them together, and you've got a fairly large part of the population missing from your sample.
I assume you're American, because as someone European-born and Canadian-raised, I have no qualms about there being costs in my society to help the well being of others. That's what my taxes are for. I'm happy to have them pay for emergency care of others, for cancer treatments, for birth control, for anti-depressants, and for gender confirmation hormones or procedures.

Your comparison to a leg amputation suggests someone who's a self-made burden on society - which is dubious because I'm not sure if prosthetics and crutches are that expensive - but mostly because the comparison doesn't make sense. How is someone who is transgender a burden on society at all once they complete transition? The medicine?

Please do not learn about transgender people's life experiences from Public TV. You've got the most powerful tools in front of you - talk to people on the internet. Find them on twitter and read their life experiences. Better yet, look around your workplace. The STEM industry is FILLED with trans folks. Meet them, learn from them.
Can someone explain to me why this wouldn't have the perverse effect of discouraging the use of conventional bank accounts and causing people to just hold onto their cash or to put it in the equivalent of safe deposit boxes, or for wealthier people, to use "offshore" banks or to purchase assets easily convertible into cash?

As one of the comment threads on the Youtube video mentions, this setup of having tiered power generation comes up naturally in the video game Factorio. You have mining drils feeding coal to boilers, and the boilers feeding steam to steam engines. If the power runs out, the system can't start back up because the drills need power. So you end up automating the setup so that if the steam reserves drop too low, the rest of the factory gets disconnected from the steam engines until it builds back up.

Furthermore, some mods make it so that even pumping the water to the boilers requires power (*), and add a separate "burner generator" that directly burns coal to produce power. So you end up setting the automation so that tier one power generation uses the burner generators to build up water reserves, then tier two power generation turns off the burner generators and uses the boilers to build up steam reserves, and then finally switches on the rest of the factory once steam reserves have been built up.

(*) In the base game the water pumps magically work without needing electric power, because the devs don't want to complicate the experience of setting up power. So it's an amusing situation where the Factorio character starts with the innate knowledge of how to build magic water pumps and steam engines out of iron plates and gears, but needs to "research" more trivial things like dumping rocks into a lake to landfill it and create a buildable surface.

The really implausible thing about reversing a broken egg is not that it works itself back into the "original" state, but that it takes the same energy back from the environment (thrown off as heat in the forward direction) and converts it perfectly into the needed work. Which goes against physical law and also is something it's hard to even visualize. The environment shoves heat at the thing in some very specific way and then it jumps back into nothing more or less than a whole egg. Hopefully it won't start oscillating.

This can be expressed in the language of entropy but it is essentially a thermodynamic principle. Carlo Rovelli expressed it in a way that I like:

> In order to leave a trace, it is necessary for something to become arrested, to stop moving, and this can only happen in an irreversible process -- that is to say, by degrading energy into heat. In this way, computers heat up, the brain heats up, the meteors that fall into the moon heat it; even the quill of a medieval scribe in a Benedictine abbey heats a little the page on which he writes. In a world without heat, everything would rebound elastically, leaving no trace.
