Back in the day, you were allowed to bring ESTES toy rockets in hand luggage... I'd guess today they'll put you into prison just for bringing them to the airport.

Surely the issue is finding reliable employees at roughly the same real cost as before. If you gave me 500k a year I'd show up on time every morning.
I think the definition of "art" is rather vague. It encompasses both the creative impulse to produce a work, and the technical skill to bring it into existence. But if one of these components is diminished in a certain work, does it still qualify as art? For example, a commercial artist producing an illustration for a client, using their drawing and painting skills would be considered art - even if it is as technical and linear a process as writing some boilerplate code.
We'll break off into small communities and share information that way. It's how we did it with BBSs, IRC, etc...

Maybe, just maybe, the world will slow down a bit, then.
My guess is that theyve only recently been asked by handset manufacturers to consider non-ARM chips, for example this would be a great way for Qualcomm to gain leverage over ARM given the recent lawsuit
As the other commenter said, I’m just extremely impressed at how young he looks for his age. Not even sure if you thought I was ageist because he’s too old or too young lol. 58 seems about right for someone who’s achieved as much as he has (perhaps even young).
Symmetric encryption should still be unbreakable even against quantum computers or any advances in prime numbers. Given we currently trust CAs they could switch to something like Kerberos.
That’s not true at all - in high compliance industries if the dependency has been validated and is working changing it brings risk.
> In a law firm, the partners call the shots and the rest of the staff is there to support them. In tech companies, the structure is inverted. The engineers are at the bottom of the power hierarchy, even though it's the engineers that generate the most value.

Hmm, as a software engineer, I'm not so sure this is true.

I'd have to sell my product to generate revenue, and I'm not a very good sales person. I can't just generate value by writing code. I need people to pay me money to use that code.
Dentists work 4 days a week.

They have a quiet chuckle.
> It’s just that H1 leaves the interleaving to your kernel,

You've made assumption that bandwidth is the limit. That's pretty much false assumption on most residental and many mobile connections.

The concurrency hitting the target server does matter as then site can process them in parallel (either using multiple cores on same machine or multiple servers, depending on site size).

So it isn't "kernel choosing which packet out of bunch H1 connections to send", it near always have enough bandwidth to have all of them on the wire, it's "just" slow start making it slower
Well, speaking for myself -- I dont use any iOS device I so never had the need/habit to visit AppStore links to learn about apps, so I probably didn't have the learned neural pathway to click on it to satisfy my curiosity.

In fact I just clicked on it now on my PC and it's taking forever to load -- probably blocked by uBlock Origin / uMatrix by default.

Also, the original page seems to have since been upated to show screenshots. So everyone should be happy including me :)
Aside, if you've had an interest in the Itanium processor, and the very long instruction word sound familiar, that's because it's one of the most famous, widely used example.

If memory serves, the compilers never really caught on. The assumption was that they would eventually figure out how to leverage the explicit parallelism efficiently, but it never materialized as a performant solution for most problems.
Not really, Copernicus' entire life and all his decades-long studies were paid for by the catholic church and his research was accepted by the Pope himself, even to the point of being taught at Catholic universities. Noone "persecuted" him in any way.

It only changed over a hundred years later due to the opposition from the Protestants that his books became banned.
maybe by evaluating it on a test set not used for training?
That's a bad point? Exceptions are not normal control flow. They are rare or, as one might say, exceptional. The performance of them when thrown isn't of key concern, it's the performance when they are not thrown that matters since that's the >90% case. And in that case, code using exceptions is faster than code using sum type return values, especially if those errors propagate deeply across the call stack which they very often do.
They didn't loose the battle. They capitulated without even trying. God knows why. I can't imagine they actually think ruining their own product increases their revenue.

It'd be trivial for them to remove/derank 99% of spam by manually reviewing search results (still at negligible cost) possibly letting users flag results for them for guidance.

Example: Is a page copying lots of text from stack overflow? Then it's probably spam! Don't show it on the first page of the search results!
>What I meant is that I have some "hobbies" that I know I enjoy doing in right circumstances

Perhaps stop looking for the "right circumstances" to pursue your hobbies and just start engaging in them. Even if its only for 15 minutes a day. My hobbies restore my mental energy. If I get tired of coding, I go out in the woodshop and make something. Then I come back to coding and I'm more productive. Make sure your hobby is something orthogonal to what you do for work.
danuker appears to be indicating a geo based block.
My point is that art comes from emotion, experience, and expression – not from arranging matter into a certain geometry. A photo of the Mona Lisa, taken by a human, can be art. A photo of the Mona Lisa, taken by an automated security system, can't be.
Obscurers lean capitalistic, whether Dem or Rep. Greed has no party affiliation...
I've indeed seen it used to mean basically 'this is serious but don't take it too seriously' if that makes sense, in the way that someone might say: 'university education is useless for the current job market lol'. I guess there are levels to this thing.
For simpler applications, 32 bit will use less RAM without any noticeable disadvantages, so it's not the worst default in the world. Kind of questionable, perhaps. It does mean your software will work on older PCs, though!

Most content that is actively consumed is produced by human - if you claim otherwise please provide some proof at least.
Probably this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism#Economic_progres...
Probably because no one thinks of obsessive programming or workaholism as a medical or clinical condition.

Obsessive behavior of any kind, and working too much, do get taken seriously. Substitute “stamp collecting” for “programming” and you might understand the difference between obsessive behavior and addiction.
Does your application need SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) as well as dynamic content (something that depends on UGC)? If yes, then deploying the site via traditional server is the best way to do it.

Edit: if you don’t want to manage a server then you can use Next.js and Vercel and get same benefits as server rendered pages. So that’s an option too.
You don't even need an algorithm, just research what the human authors say about their work and specific points which the reader values high in them. Quite often you will figure out that it's just random s** they wrote together to get something done, without any deeper meaning. But people make up some meaning because that how it works for them, makes it better.

The art is on the perception, not the intention. Though, if they overlap, it's more satisfying.
It happened to be disclosed to the media by the FBI (ran by a Trump appointee) so close to the 2020 elections that actual debunking before election day would have been impossible. And debunked it was, as the laptop had nothing of significance.

Seems like releasing the information only after the election was the only way to protect the integrity of the vote.

It is not the same scale but the same issue as in article happens here. There is huge meat-processing plant next town, build from nothing in those 30 years and owner had to sell it to some big corporation since his children didn't want to take over. And that is would be management job, not crazy overworking yourself for pennies, like those examples from japan.

(luckily?) MSVC has been the only compiler I've used that has _crashed_ on me given certain code patterns. Here's a fun one that happens for only RelWithDebInfo 32bit [1].

The `Hero.{x,y}` properties here are a custom fixed precision number class with some implicit conversions to int, which I suspect being relevant to the crash.

"Really dangerous" is a bit dramatic. Most search already has an info pane for many queries, and it's often wrong or incomplete as well. The world hasn't ended. This just adds more noise
My biggest concern about modern toys is that we have dumbed them down to work for the lowest common denominator. That's why a 3 year old today can (with a bit of training) assemble 12+ LEGO sets.

Back in the day, when I was playing with LEGO Mindstorms, I thought the fact that you compile binaries and flash them with a USB cable was a feature, because it gave you full control. There was even alternative OS choices like [1]. I'm not sure I would have learnt the same amount with the modern version, which is centered around an iPad app with video tutorials.

Similarly, chemistry experimentation kits were amazing - until they started making them idiot-proof and removing anything that could be dangerous if you eat it. Nowadays, as an adult, I need a special permit just to refill the chemicals that I experimented with as a 10 year old ^_^

Couple of calls is normal. But if you make everything a microservice. And there are dependencies between them, then by design its destined that some hotter loop eventually will contain rpc.

Have you ever worked in a company with a union?

Look what just happened to the railroad workers. The US government forced them back to work and gave everything to the companies.

Unions are effectively a corporation running labor. So you go from working for the company to working for your union rep. They then pimp you out and get kick backs. Wanna leave your job for another company or role? Good luck, you drop in seniority and will have your hours and pay cut. When layoffs come, the highest rank in the union decides who gets cut. His golf buddies obviously keep their jobs.

Then you end up like GE or Boeing in a zombie company. Poor management, poor senior engineers, and good, but underpaid low level engineers.

That’s not to say you can’t collaborate and organize. Ive organized my coworkers to make changes before, no union involved.
Documentation in some ways is more of an important output than code.

Documentation serves to to create beginners with the source code and project.

When working with devs it’s made clear that what they are delivering is documentation of which working code is one part.

The ability to write sentences in documentation is as important as writing code.

Writing as one works (not after) and then editing is one of the only ways I’ve found that there is a chance, waterfall, agile or cowboy.
>AI/ML already has real applications with hundreds of millions of dollars actual value created.

Hundreds of billions a year probably (and that may be low) if you count online advertising and large consumer facing sites in general. If you turned off the ML behind Facebook/Google/Netflix/Amazon then you'd be lucky to only lose 50% revenue based on my personal experience of adding ML on top of such products.
Thanks so much! Looks like a really great project.

I'll have a full look through the blog later but just the summary of the code density results is very interesting (at http://retroramblings.net/?p=1414).

Do you have a gut feel for what is happening here and why the compressed 32 RISC ISAs do so well compared to yours?
And to an extent, I think we're already seeing that with Google

I'm already seeing it's AI Q&A feature displaying text of "authoritative" answers to questions relevant to original queries above the main results which are sourced to obviously GPT-generated spamblogs consisting of long lists of similar SEO-optimised questions with contradictory and in some cases clearly incorrect autogenerated answers.
I think Lua started catching on outside of PUC-Rio before 5.0 in 2003. Remember, LucasArts used it in Grim Fandango, and that became widely known in the game industry in 1999 or 2000. My own first exposure to Lua was in a Linux distro package repository sometime in 2000. That's why, when I was looking for a lightweight scripting language implementation in late 2004, I remembered Lua. So yes, my actual first exposure to the Lua language was Lua 5.0, but I consider myself a relatively late adopter.

> “This is an amazing party!” you shout. “How do you know all these people?”

“I don’t!” he shouts back. “I’m trying Partyr. It’s a new all-in-one party-throwing service. You give them an address, a time, and an ideal number of guests, pick from one of their preset themes, and they make everything happen.”

“Including the guests?”

“If needed! The idea is, you have some friends you want to impress by throwing a big party. But you don’t know how many of them will come. And you don’t want only two or three people to come, and then it’s really embarrassing. So you set an ideal number of people to come to the party. Then you see how many people RSVPed, and if it’s less than your ideal Partyr sends you enough guests to make up the difference.”

“Where do they get the people? Are they employees?”

“No, you sign up to be on standby for their service, and they send you a text if someone needs you.”

“How many of the people here tonight are paid Partyr guests?”

“About half, I think. I got most of the RSVPs I wanted, I just thought maybe with a few more people it could seem extra popular.”

“You definitely succeeded there!” You grab a guest on their way to the food table. “Hey, are you here with Partyr?”

“Yeah,” she says. She’s a tall woman in a fashionable dress. “This is my third time with the service. They always come through.”

“What’s it like?”

“It’s pretty great. You tell them what times and days of the week you’re available. Then if they have a need, they text you a day or two beforehand and tell you where to go. You get to eat other people’s free food, drink their free alcohol, and meet a lot of cool people. Sometimes you meet the same Partyr standby guests a few times in a row and make friends with them. Sometimes they even pay you a stipend. I got to say, it’s a pretty great deal.”

“Have you ever used them to throw a party yourself?”

“Oh no, there’s no alpha left in generic Partyr parties. I have my own methods.”
If customers aren't fond of new owners I doubt they'd be fond of foreigners
I don't think that point was being made even at all. The article is trying to illustrate that the politics espoused by the wealthy and influential left is actually profoundly different and often times at odds with the personal positions held by working-class individuals.
Well said.

In addition to writers on the team it’s important to ensure all developers are writing and developing their writing skills as much as coding skills.
I mean, I have showdead on. I see what comments are flagged. They are flamebait the vast majority of the time.
With plugins, yes, but that's not the point. Inpainting is great, but using inpainting to get rid of the masking outline is funny to me. There are healing tools in PS that are designed for this exact purpose and they work in real time :)
I have (had) this for all languages, including ruby. No two people are alike and since it's all a "I think this is best" approach (either by person or committee) you will always have some form of it. Unless you use brainfuck, maybe.
I'm not part of the Go cult, so I simply do not get why people would start brand new projects in it when so many other good languages exist that actually seem to have taken off and become popular enough to survive long-term.

I frequently point out that $ThingWeSayIsntAi isn't as good at something as a person who is good at it, but it is rapidly becoming better than a person who isn't good at it. Coming from decades of systems pretending to be remotely competent, this is a striking inflection point. The Times recently cooked a Thanksgiving dinner based on ChatGPT recipes. It wasn't very good, and they closed by saying "I guess we still have jobs!" People don't grock exponential growth.

Android has official x86 & x86_64 support and used to have MIPS support back when MIPS still existed, so this isn't the first "not-ARM" support to happen.

But the change from ignoring risc-v contributions to saying it's important probably did come from a significant SoC manufacturer pushing for it, yeah.
I'm a different person, but I can provide some commentary about that.

A. There are many ways to identify the misweighted ball in three deterministic weighings. The simple approach is to label the possible states 1 to 24, or alpha to omega, or what have you, and then to assign an outcome code to each state.

SideQuark wants to entwine the outcome codes with the state labels, so that the label for each state is the value represented by its outcome code when that code is interpreted as a trinary number. This sets up feedback between things that would otherwise be independent of each other; it's sort of like writing a quine.

B. Therefore, it's possible that the odd choice to start numbering the balls at 7 (and skip 13) represents a compromise with what outcome codes our system can generate.

(For example, you can identify and diagnose the misweighted ball in these three deterministic weighings: 1,2,3,4 vs 5,6,7,8; 1,5,9,10 vs 2,6,7,11; 2,4,6,9 vs 3,7,10,12. If an outcome of 0 represents the right side of the scale being heavier, and 1 represents the left side being heavier, then the outcome code 121 uniquely identifies the 4 ball as being too heavy. But 121 interpreted as a trinary number is 16, not 4.

In fact, in this weighing scheme, the outcome code "4" (= 011) cannot occur, and 9 and 26 are also impossible.)

C. SideQuark appears to be cheating in that his balls are labeled from 7 to 19 (skipping 13), but his column indices range from 1 to 12. This means he's given up on getting a real correspondence between label and outcome code (the balls have different labels depending on whether you're reading the specification of the test [1-12 in full] or the interpretation of the result [7-19 with a hole]), but it looks like he is still aiming to have a meaningful correspondence between the code that specifies a particular ball is heavy and the code that specifies the same ball is light.

D. We're going to record a trinary number between 000 and 222, a range from 0 to +26. It is not clear to me how we would get a negative number. We could interpret the number we get as a three-trit three's complement value, but in that case we'd really want the balls to be labeled from 1 to 12, so that a single value uniquely identifies and diagnoses a ball - for an example of the problem we're about to run into, the outcome 101 represents the value 10, and should tell us that the 10 ball is too heavy, but if we're using three's complement then 101 is also the value -17, which tells us that the 17 ball is too light. This is a bad outcome when the 10 ball and the 17 ball both exist.
That was my impression as well.

Seems to be some conservative culture warrior type.

Well, we could "just" avoid Google and Bing. Sure, other search engines may not be as powerful as the big ones, but it's up to us to make them more popular (they get more revenue, so they can improve their engine...
