> Also if I try to isolate the SIMD bits in C++ I’ll lose the opportunity to have them be inlined which will defeat the optimization purpose.

Agreed. Usually the interface would be something like RunEntireAlgorithm(), not DotProduct().

> For those that are new to this, can you give an example of a kind of computation or algorithm which is well-served by your project but not possible with vector extensions

Sure. Vector extensions are OKish for simple math but JPEG XL includes nontrivial cross-lane operations such as
transpose and boundary handling for convolution.
__builtin_shufflevector requires a known vector length, and can be pessimized (fusing two into one general all-to-all permute which is more expensive than two simple shuffles).

Also, vqsort (https://github.com/google/highway/tree/master/hwy/contrib/so...) almost entirely consists of
operations not supported by the extensions, and actually works out of the box on variable-length RISC-V and SVE, which compiler extensions cannot.
What Your Bones Have in Common With the Eiffel Tower (2015)
Such a world sounds unappealing, if not naive and silly - why can't people be motivated by multiple reasons anyways? The author doesn't claim that they are a great at business in the first place.
The software uploaded an encrypted fingerprint as metadata as part of every photo.

The actual scanning and apple self-interest all happened server side.
>"Then, with appropriate design,

This would be very interesting should it ever be created -- a single electronic component -- that could (potentially!) act like all other electronic components...

One question might be how to introduce variable capacitance into such a component, again, should it ever be created...
I checked out this claim and and was able to find this:

* https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/8zk1yy/a_simple_...

It stores that information in a local index, and also stores telemetry data which counts interactions with the app, but there is no evidence it is uploading indexes to MS.

Do you have any evidence of this?
You probably know this, but Alma means “soul” in Portuguese.

Is this why you picked the name? I like it. I went with Ada myself (after Lovelace - wife only found-out why years later).
But that is just a raw representation of a pointer, what you actually pass and use as a pointer is not long values, but MemorySegments (formerly MemoryAddresses) — so the actual size is just an implementation detail.

Plus Panama won’t go stable until Valhalla, which is necessary to actually have a “long long” in the language.
HOWTO: Control Yourself
So, if I spill water on my Thinkpad, I can drain it and probably replace the keyboard. Either myself or using the Lenovo support who will bring me a keyboard.

If I do the same on my Macbook, Apple have to replace it as everything is fixed in place and its gone for a week. I only say that as I've never had Apple Care able to repair anything same or next day.

I still don't get the original point about Lenovo keyboards and spills because a spill would render a Mac unusable.
Nah. Their business has grown almost logarithmically over the past few years, even during the pandemic. (Edit: in my original comment my wording suggested their business as has stagnated or plateaued; it hasn’t, but they’re having to fight harder for non-repeat/new clients.)

The problem is SEO and people who see the price difference and don’t know any better.

Repelling down a rock face into a canyon without a helmet? Darwin will sort that segment of the market out fairly quickly, unfortunately.
Where did I say we should ban trade? I would just like life to continue as normal if something like a war or global pandemic breaks out. The US is moving in an amazing direction with the TSMC fab.
Traditional media includes print, TV, radio, and now digital media. New media includes social networks, podcasts, video games, and more.
Not the way apple implemented it. The hash was encrypted and could only be decrypted if 5 hashes matched a known csam hashes.
They do express regret for not simply doing this, so I guess you are right. But, the story wouldn't be very interesting if it had played out that way, so I guess here we are.
I've had my IP blacklisted for running a non-exit node, just a relay. So it's definitely a thing.
There is a reason doctors call them "donor cycles".
Don't forget to factor in maintenance costs. If you own the place, you're on the hook for maintenance, which can be pretty high for old buildings. While the asset may appreciate in value over time, the cost of carry may negate that price appreciation.

Or you can decide not to do maintenance but then the value won't appreciate.
What negatives were there? From what I know he bought a mansion and became a twitter shitposter.
Yeah I feel a twist in my gut for this guy. He is so frustrated it's incredible. He wrote 90% more than he needed to on this topic. The essay is long and rambling and I've missed any point he's trying to make... much like the words of his "End Poem". They are senseless and, ultimately, meaningless. They are not deep. They are incoherent. No wonder he's stuck in a narrative of his own creation. That's his life. If his emails with Carl were anything like his writing in this essay, then any reasonable person would have been at wits end trying to negotiate with this guy. He is right about one thing, though: the universe owes him nothing.

All of his problems could have been solved if he just did the sensible normal thing any person would do and have a lawyer help him figure it out.
Yes it would. I actually started it with the circuit. It would be somewhat frivolous to call it “Ben Eater's”, as it is a circuit recommended in 555’s datasheet ;)

You should put a couple of inverters after the 555 timer to make signal fronts sharper. I recommend 74als series (older, bjt, easier to work with), or 74hct (more modern, mosfet-based, ttl-compatible). We even tried some 74act parts, but these are not designed for breadboards ;)

Though Ben Eater’s work is overall great and very instructive. You should follow his recommendations on breadboarding (board models, wires and stuff), they are stellar.

The hardest part, as usual in electronics, is contact quality, be careful diligent.
For Nibbler we used around 5-6 breadboards.

P.S.: it was hard to source ALU. I scoured ebay for weeks and got some for exorbitant price + shipping. Then I found one factory in Belarus that still makes 74als181 (кр1533ип3 in cyrillic) chips in narrow dip packaging. I ordered a small box of these ;) It was cheaper than a single 74hc chip from eBay.

Beautiful. I hope this brings him peace.
The comparison didn’t happen locally in Apple’s scheme. Along with each photo a encrypted fingerprint was uploaded and all scanning happened sever side.

microfinancing (aka payday loans) in some countries is considered the most aggressive for-profit ripoff business you could run. How is that related to charity and aid?
I personally don't like what that drug does to my blood pressure. I have had better luck with 2c-b but the best positive long term effects from magic truffles (a specific version of magic mushrooms sold fresh in Amsterdam). They were all fun but only the magic truffles had this long come down period of laser focused introspection that drove meaningful and positive long term changes in my life and lifestyle.
Agreed that sometimes they can be too nagging, but I always really appreciate being able to resolve issues in a live-but-async manner. It also seems that chat agents are usually more empowered than phone agents when it comes to resolving issues, and it's an added bonus that it's all in writing so everyone agrees what happened.
It was a great experience (I was on the satellite side of development).

Exactly. Good chat implementations are great; meaningful automated information, fast handover to human operators while also providing them with the relevant information, and all that in the comfort of my browser window is a great experience.

Being stuck in a loop against what's essentially a buggy ELIZA-Clone however, or a system that somehow is incapable of authenticating me even though I've logged into my account on their website, is not.
I almost wrote to the mailing list (for the first time) asking to better support nested lifetimes, and then they just drop a new API that does it so much better :D I honestly don’t know why I thought that such an experienced team didn’t think of this little detail!

True. My situation is probably different: I've got a fairly large disk (1TB), and a tiny phone (16GB). I guess they prefer to sell iCloud subscriptions.
I think what Globalization skeptics like me are saying is actually really simple: you shouldn't outsource your critical shit to hostile countries.

Not really more complicated than that. If we're talking about the US, other countries can sell their EVs here, no problem, but you have to be in the club. Since the 1990s, we've sort of skirted our moral responsibility on who we trade with because it made a bunch of people rich, and then those rich people gave money to politicians who helped make other people rich, who then ran for office and so on. This responsibility isn't limited to "don't trade with countries that have concentration camps", it also extends to "be smart about how you trade and who you trade with such that you don't destroy your own industry and middle class".

Really not that complicated.

>The global information economy is the profit being made from trading in electronic services. Rent on transactions in payments, funds transfer, arbitrage, the dutch-irish sandwich...

This is a goofy way of saying "the global information economy" makes money on spying on human behavior and then selling ads based on that behavior. Yuck.
I have never been pleased to see the chat bubble pop up on any site I've used. I do hope the people that use it enjoy it thoroughly, just to offset my disdain.
Can you clarify what you mean by a "façade second floor"? To me, façade means front side of the building in general, regardless of how it's constructed.
I still prefer Matlab/Octave for numerical exploration, after initially being excited for Julia but later becoming disillusioned with it.

I’ve always found Matlab the language to be small and simple, with just a few oddities. The library is where most of the warts accumulated, but I’ve used it long enough to learn them. Performance is much better than python - very fast matrix operations and Java-like speeds for everything else, with comparable startup times.
When so much money is involved very few friendships or relationships will survive. You can't morally steer someone into the "right" direction by sending frustrated emails when there's generational wealth on the line for the other parties involved. The author should have put his feelings aside and involved a lawyer.
My man, if covid2 came out of the same… place tomorrow, we would do it all over again.

I'm hoping the new SciML docs can become a good enough source for beginners looking to do scientific computing (https://docs.sciml.ai/Overview/stable/). It's not there yet, we literally started redirecting links to the new docs on Monday so that's how new it is, it's already moving in the direction of having a lot of materials for new users (in scientific computing specifically, this is not and will not be a general Julia resource) before ever hitting deeper features.

Though if someone wants to dive deep into the language, I'd plug my own SciML course notes: https://book.sciml.ai/, which again is not for general usage but scientific computing but does show a lot about good programming styles (see https://book.sciml.ai/notes/02-Optimizing_Serial_Code/).
The scanning for known fingerprints in Apple’s scheme only happened sever side.

Unlike Google, Apple didn’t have access to all photos in an unencrypted form to do whatever they pleased with them. If and only if 5 photo fingerprints matched a known csam photo, could Apple view a thumbnail of the photo.

How could that possibly be thought of as worse than Google’s “we can see all your data all the time” approach?
Thinking about this subject as a market helps explain why males who have sex with a lot of woman are called “studs” by other men. And why females who have sex with a lot of males are called “cheap” (and worse) by other woman.

Once I thought I had a title,
So clever and so true,
But Dang changed it 'fore anyone could sue.

My title was so simple,
Just a statement of the facts,
Yet Dang liked the title from the clickbait hacks.

Now I sit and wonder,
What's the point of coming up with a name?
When Dang will change it, regardless of fame.

Still I try and post,
In hopes that my title might stay,
Though Dang is always lurking, ready to change it in some sneaky way.

So I'll keep on posting,
With a resigned and weary mind,
Because I know Dang will win, as my title is left behind.

(ChatGPT has allowed me to express my frustrations in folkloric prose but this is an opportunistic post - it's the first time I've seen dang express the title resolution logic since ChatGPT became available. This is kinda the opposite of what the poem is criticizing, which I think just adds to the poetic justice)
What value does that word hold for you and why would it diminish it for you?

That word has been used to describe many things for many years in many different ways. It is not a holy or forbidden word and it wasn't used in anyway that deviated from standard use.
What a strange thing to say.

Most of us don't lose all our friends, or go in the deep end alt-right in our 20's...
I'm not making any comparison. I'm saying that the comment suggesting "top execs" generally make $18MM/yr is wildly off. But this is some of the magical thinking that helps people justify making extravagant purchases in the name of "altruism".
He had an agent he could have just called up— but you see this all the time. People think that sorting out business with contracts ruins friendships, but it’s very often the lack of contract and the resulting fight that irreparably severs relationships.

It’s not just some capitalism v art thing either. It’s communicating and promising and accountability.

To anyone reading, if you’ve got a business partner and you think he’s given you 50% of a business because he said it one night at dinner, saying you’re cofounders— get it on paper in terms you both agree to. Go halfsies on a lawyer who helps you both accurately match terms (copyright assignment is one of those things where particular wording, intent and employment arrangement are important.) If you have doubts, maybe watch The Social Network or read about Hoefler&Co. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoefler_%26_Co.)
> I just think this is a procedure that gets a lot of hype and it takes away from us pursuing something that might be better overall but just can't compete in the click-bait headline department.

What does it take away? It is a procedure of last resort. Doctors don’t plop in new major organs willy nilly. If there is any chance to fix what is wrong with the patient through other means they try that.

There is much more energy spent on protecting peoples organs (the ones they were born with) than on replacing organs. As it should be. It is just when a doctor swaps a medication or lowers a dose to prevent kidney or liver injury that doesn’t sound as dramatic and attention grabbing as a huge life saving operation.

Even in the “headline grabbing” department lab grown organs are much more catchy and futuristic.

I'm curious what "we" you refer to, because I've seen years of articles about tool use and play and intelligence across all sorts of mammals and birds.
I think if the new DNA kept the DNA encoding for the HLA markers there wouldn't be any rejection risk. HLA markers allow the immune system to tell which cells belong to your own body. When they do transplants, they check for HLA compatibility much as possible.

Not now but there is work going on in the JS standardisation process that will mean valid typescript is interpreted as valid JavaScript. (Basically run it and ignore the type annotations)

Note that CEA is specifically a community-building organization,

> Our mission is to build and nurture a global community of people who are thinking carefully about the world’s biggest problems and taking impactful action to solve them. We hope that this community can help to build a radically better world.

> To foster this community, we run conferences, support hundreds of local groups, and provide online resources and forums for discussion.

You shouldn't imagine that people are donating to generic maximal impact causes and the money is ending up in surprise luxury real estate. (Or, at least, if it is then that's news to me.)

When CEA says (paraphrasing) ‘this is a reasonable way to spend the money we have on hosting a ton of conferences,’ the ‘host a ton of conferences’ part is an inherited assumption from this being CEA money (a specific grant for this purpose, in this case), not a broader claim about the value of lots of conferences vs. global health charities.
is there a citation for that? i don't mean i think it's wrong, just want to learn more why you said that.

So the fact that you don’t have to use Apple’s in app subscriptions for users to be able to subscribe is irrelevant to the argument that apps have to use in app purchases for subscriptions?
Afaik cosmopolitan is only meaningful for executable startups, the actual x86 binaries can be platform-agnostic, but only if they basically do no communication with the outside world (or very little), since otherwise they have to use OS APIs.

So, not sure that the same version can be linked, but most libraries have a shared API with platform-specific implementations and one can just link against them, pretty much how it is done today in e.g. Blender.

GraalVM is a bit trickier as it can be used to interpret LLVM bytecode, which will be portable across OSs, both when native compiled or when used on top of JVM. But if it uses Panama it would get the aforementioned limitations as it is basically just a wrapper over dynamically wrapping libs.
the functionality advertised by the NFT is broken. the files referenced on the blockchain are gone and so someone wanting interact with the NFT (e.g. to show the image) will fail to do so.
My mate worked with Craig at CenterBet. Its interesting how this name is now international. My mate wouldnt decribe him as a genius, but did receive emails from him in this era on the topic that his law team has been interested in.

My point is that he's in a shared melodramatic phase. It seems bad now, no doubt. But time heals all wounds. He'll find his friends again. He'll realize that Twitter isn't the right forum for posting batshit crazy stuff if you're sensitive to criticism. He'll repair things. He'll find his peace. Or he'll go insane. I'm hoping the former as a fellow human.
In other words, no one has control over the hurricane and what it will look like, or where it will be heading tomorrow morning.

The CSAM hash database isn't public AFAIK.

You're probably thinking about their proposed 'perceptive hash', which has since been scrapped.
Scam callers often randomly generate the numbers that they're calling from. I've received a call claiming to be from my phone's own number. Caller ID isn't difficult to spoof.
This is one of the reasons why programs should not be designed to assume they know better than the end user. They may provide defaults if appropriate, but should not try to override the user's settings.

In the case that some program wants to first/last receive a notification, one way to do is to perhaps put them into three phases, being first, middle, last. The end user can then configure the relative order within each phase (and move them into other phases if desired).
It’s tricky.

This will round (-2,-1) to -2, i.e. away from zero. For comparison, if we perform the canonical (a+b)/2 instead it will round to -1, i.e. towards zero.

Now, the problem statement does not tell us how to round, so you’re technically correct, but the inconsistency bothers me.
Interesting idea to use physical addresses on the file system as the sample space, though!

The problem isn't live chat. The problem is incorrectly implemented live chat.

I don't believe the blurb changes the context of the quote.

He was arguing that the all the important and fundamental laws of physics had been discovered. And so all that remained was to work out what was causing perturbations at increasingly esoteric degrees of precision. In other words that the future of science rested on refining previous discoveries, instead of the discovery of new revolutionary concepts. In the words of our OP here that, "all the science that is possible to do "at home" [is] already done."

Yet of course he made these comments just before physics would be completely revolutionized, and rapidly lead to revolutions in life as we know it. This was prior to relativity, prior to quantum mechanics, even prior to atomic models. The thing that makes it utterly ironic is making such comments at such a time after being an inadvertent key player in the discoveries to come.
