You use SIMD whenever you want to operate directly on system RAM and want to mix scalar and vector instructions.

You use GPUs when you have a big batch of work that you can transfer once into VRAM and only transfer back the result.
This is a textbook distinction, but when I look at my nasdaq and crypto candles, they all have the same 3-year profile, crypto just feels like it’s 1.5x leverage but that’s it. If stock market is all about production and long-term investment, then it shouldn’t bounce up and down with fear waves. The sibling commenter is right, just from the charts it seems at least 66% of “investors” are short-term players and no forward-looking company will (to my limited understanding) build a long-term strategy around these volumes. I mean, they will, but that only confirms the idea?

Computers are way faster than they were 18 years ago, so what I want to know is if, in 2003-2004, the code which provided the same functionality was less performant than it is now, or if somewhere along the GNOME development path it became bloated. Because otherwise my mind is blown about how fast my already snappy GNOME 2 Linux desktop could have been.

You missed the really funny bit where to reduce costs to a "mere" ~$400/kg you attach the sea mining equipment to supply 5MW to an offshore wind turbine which in 2022 will produce around 10MW net. Then it produces enough vanadium to add about 1hr or storage in flow batteries for the wind turbine each year.

It also requires a constant supply of polymer that caps the EROI around 10.

Ha, reminds me of something at a company I used to work at! One of their products included this little switched power supply of some kind. I don't recall the exact details, but basically it included a snubber circuit that was failing due to some transients being larger than designed for. So they fixed it by.. removing the snubber. That worked briefly, but then of course the transistor it was protecting started failing. So they installed a massive overkill transistor, which worked for a while, until that started overheating, so they redesigned the PCB to move it to the edge of the board where it could be heat-sinked to the case. Even with that they were still getting occasional returns with it failed, so when I joined the company I was asked to look at it. Added the snubber back in with an appropriately-sized resistor, and problem solved. (And was able to switch back from the $30 transistor to one that cost a few cents.)
> Isn't a parliamentary system effectively proportional representation?

Not necessarily. Imagine a country with four parties. In each constituency, they respectively get 40%, 30%, 20%, and 10% of the vote. Under FPTP, parliament is made up of all reps from the 40% party, shutting out other voters. Under PR, depending on variety you'd get results closer to the distribution of the votes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation
> Brexit has also institutionalised lying in British politics,

Lying is institutionalized long before Brexit. That's why the British is called "Perfidious Albion".

Look at how Jean-Jacques Rousseau said in 1762: "The people of England regards itself as free, but it is grossly mis- taken; it is free only during the election of members of parliament. As soon as they are elected, slavery overtakes it, and it is nothing.The use it makes of the short moments of liberty it enjoys shows indeed that it deserves to lose them."

"The Russians, a Cambridge don noted, ‘consider the English as a mercenary nation’ and one of their princes publicly declared that ‘in England there is not an individual, patriot, or placeman, who is not saleable to the highest bidder’."

W3C pushing crypto nonsense is in my opinion killing aby remaining respect for the organization. Stuff like the DID standards earlier this year are nonsense and were heavily objected by maintainers of Firefox and Chrome, but got pushed through anyways. Will they simply ignore W3C recommendations going forward? Seems likely to me. Unfortunately I'm not aware of any other organization working on a widely accepted list of web standards.

Basic was better on the IBM PC and clones because you had BASICA or GWBASIC or QBASIC or QuickBasic or Turbo Basic. I had Turbo Assembler and the Microsoft Assembler, Turbo Pascal, Turbo C, etc.

These ranged from the same experience as the Beeb to full functioned text mode IDEs.

Visual Basic from the Win95 era might be the best scripting language to write desktop gui applications that there has ever been.
It’s more that there is far more protecting the system (and also e.g. data from different apps against each other, or things like access to your screen content), than the current user. Some of this is because we’re in a world where Macs and iPhones are far more likely to be single user machines than the UNIX machines of lore. See the PDF in my other answer.

Growing up, we had dogs. I had a very strong emotional bond with our dogs – so, if my emotional bonds with my son and daughter are good reasons for me to be convinced that they are both really conscious, to be consistent I'd have to say our dogs were really conscious too. And, since I generalise from my conclusion that my children are really conscious, to the conclusion that other people's children are also really conscious, I'm also going to generalise the conclusion from our dogs to other people's dogs – and also cats – I'm not a cat person, I find them much harder to relate to than dogs, but I recognise other people feel rather differently about them than I do.

So, in my mind, animals which humans have as pets, and which are capable of forming social-emotional bonds with humans, are really conscious. I'm less sure about pet species which are less social, since emotional bonds with them may be much more unidirectional, and I think the bidirectional nature of an emotional bond plays an important part in how it helps us form the conviction that the other party to that bond is really conscious.

What about ants, fleas, wasps, bees, bacteria? I don't believe that they are conscious, I suppose I'm inclined to think they are not. But, I could be wrong about that. I can't even rule out panpsychism (everything is really conscious, even inanimate objects) as a possibility. If I had to bet, I'd bet against panpsychism being true, but I can't claim to be certain that it is false.

Where do we draw the boundary then between "really conscious animals" and "p-zombie animals"? I think capacity for social and emotional bonds with humans (or other human-like beings, if any such beings ever exist–such as intelligent extraterrestrial life, supernatural beings such as gods/angels/demons/spirits/etc, or super-advanced AIs) is an important criterion – but I make no claim to know where the exact boundary lies. I don't think that "we don't (or maybe even can't) know the exact location of the boundary between X and Y" is necessarily a good argument against the claim that such a boundary exists.

> If Labour win the next election their position will be very fragile, and I’m unsure they will get more than one term.

This is my expectation, the Conservatives will have been able to "clean house" and remove a significant number of MPs who now have too much baggage. I expect a Labour government to struggle through the end of a recession, and have significant infighting.

The conservatives will capitalise on that and could take back control.

I just really hope Labour push through significant electoral reform in their first term.
Sounds like you have some major Slack trauma, sorry to hear. There are many ways to use Slack and to have a channel for people to get their questions answered without having people "spend 2/3 of your work day just enabling other ppl" (for instance, setting expectations on response time, having people volunteer to spend their time helping onboard other folks, etc). Like any process, it doesn't work unless thoughtfully implemented.

I assume that by "get them out" the parent meant "move your crypto from an exchange to a wallet you control". If your end goal is to be out of crypto altogether it would make far more sense to just sell while the exchanges are still open.
The Ox64 takes 3.3V power. That's the same as ESP32, which is in a similar category of "system on a chip". From what I read, two AA batteries in a series can supply that (~1.5V each) but their total current is weak (50 mA) compared to what the ESP32 requires, 300~500 mA. This type of Alkaline batteries is also rather unsuitable due to the profile of how the voltage is reduced as it discharges. I imagine the same applies to Ox64, that AA batteries won't work at all or only for a short time.

Typically recommended are lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) or lithum polymer (LiPo) batteries, both of which have higher capacity, better discharge profile, and can be recharged (the latter while the device is in operation).

> Google says I'm in Quintanna Roo

This is at the bottom of the Google search results page on mobile right?

If so, that location is based on signals from a bunch of places. The logic takes as input:

* Location history in your Google account (if enabled)

* IP address location lookup from the most recent request (if sufficiently accurate)

* HTML5 location API response from previous requests to Google search on your account (since the html5 location API is quite slow, and you don't want to wait 30 seconds for search results).

My guess is you have location history disabled. And you have the html5 location API disabled. And your Seattle IP address doesn't resolve to a very precise location (so is rejected). So the last fallback is the last known location for you, which was probably the hotel WiFi in Mexico, which probably did have a precise geocode associated.

If you want to fix that, you can set a manual location IIRC, or you can enable some other location source.
If you want that kind of clarity, use another lisp, like Scheme, that doesn't have the legacy quirks. There are plenty to choose from that make different choices.

That's kind of my point.
Lol, be your authentic self. Unless that authentic self is inconvinent in which case work on yourself to authentically be someone else.

If the life advice is you should be your authentic self whenever its easy and there are no consequences. Well that's easy but kind of meaningless advice.
"America" is in the unique position of having no culture -- barring "make money" -- to assimilate to. This obviously leads to much greater ease of assimilation for immigrants; you don't even need to speak English. If you can achieve an upper middle class income, you have assimilated and are thus dubbed "American."

In Europe, it's much different. There's no "short cut" to being accepted in your host society; and I very much doubt anyone really assimilates into a European culture if they're not born within. There's a depth to it that is impossible to grasp unless you've been submerged in it for the entirety of your life.

You will never be a German. Should you decide to change your mind, and make the decision to move to and have children there -- then perhaps they will end up being German; but that path is closed to the individual you.

Accepting people is a long process when your standards are high; and short when low. Letting people come and go as they please does not make for a very stable society, filled with the types of persons that are beneficial to the whole.

What is portable simd?
If it is your money I’d like to ask you: do you feel lucky?
My data is from around 2014. "since Google's rise to mapping dominance" is risible. It's had dominance since the early 2000's.

I'm not in touch with the Litigation team and if I were, they certainly wouldn't tell me, but I'd be surprised if plaintiffs have stopped going after the Ads money. I'd bet that still dwarfs whatever pittance Maps brings in.
I would like to stress that the gap I speak of is not about stupidity or competence in itself; instead it is about being oblivious to one's own incompetence.

For example, I think that people like Trump, Berlusconi, Cheney, etc. are not in the same class. They are certainly bad leaders, but largely because they are selfish grifters who care little about their country. On the other hand people like Cameron, Rees-Mogg, Johnson and Truss seem to really believe that they are destined to lead the country (to greatness) and that, for them at least, it "cannot be that hard".

So I sense a real difference here, and introducing the "competence gap" was my way to try to make it precise. But maybe there is a better way to formulate it. Arrogance perhaps? (And of course such personalities are not unique to the UK, but I did find them more widespread there.)
>If you want to fix that, you can set a manual location IIRC, or you can enable some other location source.

Yeah, but I can't. The only way I've seen hinted at doing that is letting my browser share location to Google.com and my desktop Firefox can't estimate my location anyway, on top of the fact that I'm not about to give in and fix this by just arbitrarily granting them access to more data about me.

Especially when they clearly have all of this effort around it, dialogs to try and tell me why it thinks I'm in Mexico and won't just give me a way to tell it where I am.

When I was looking for where to buy an SSD and used "shopping.google.com" earlier, I absolutely could not find how to convince it that I was in Seattle. Ironically, a private browser worked there.

And yet, I literally just sat through 3 spanish ads, again on my unsigned in TV that has been sitting in Seattle for a year.

I think you're absolutely right, it's this myriad of data. But it's frustrating that I /can't just easily override it/.

> Most people believe that modern compilers generate better-optimized assembly code than humans, but look at this example from AVR-GCC 5.4.0 with -O2 optimization level

Modern compilers? GCC 5.1.0 was released in 2015, and 5.4.0 is a bugfix release. Why would someone blog about its poor code generation without bothering to try the latest release?

Besides, the AVR is an exceptional architecture: an 8-bit RISC with sizeof(int) == sizeof(short) == 2. Neither GCC nor C were designed for 8-bit processors.
Using IP addresses to infer approximate location is very common, but advertisers can do it other ways. Maybe Microsoft does something different?

Excuse me if this is a dumb question, is there something like Godbolt for AVR compilers?
Yes, that can be accurate in the spring, though with more than 2 GW of batteries now in CA, it's less common. One solution would be for them to charge less for electricity in the middle of the day (as the grid is awash) and thus provide a reduced credit for export in the middle of the day. Fundamentally, it's about aligning price with cost.
