There was a second flaw in the premise between print publishers and websites. Some print publishers inflate circulation numbers when attempting to sell ad space in an attempt to make the ad space appear more valuable.

Similar double-selling of television ads take place as well. A network ad may run in the network feed and will appear in the network affidavit logs as having run. Local affiliates supercede network feeds all the time and in some of those cases they do so during a network ad pod and run station-sold ads. Consumer sees only one of the TV ads but both get reported as run.

Fraud in advertising isn't something new or isolated to the online medium.
Wow. I thought that was a video overlay... but it's the real thing. Incredible.

> The girl was given every chance to avoid this altogether, but instead chose to put herself in the situation so she could be the victim.

The problem is that this doesn't matter. In the case of the beheaded french teacher the girl just lied about being in that class (he was not her teacher, and she didn't even come to school that day) and tell everybody later that she was forced to see pictures of the prophet naked. I wonder where is she now.
You're going to think this is a joke but I'm mostly sincere The right refactor is to untangle the data structures, write a lua interface to them, then port the application logic to lua. Since (one of the) lua is written in C your codebase is still all C.
I stopped buying Tripplite when they would not stand behind their products and blamed the user for failures. I had the same model of UPS fail in 3 different physical locations in the same way, all used according to manufacturer instructions - Tripplite would not stand behind a single one.

A usual problem for developers is managing secret keys used to protect communication between applications and services. Skater Private Keys that are managed identically, rule out the need for developers to manipulate with these credentials.
> In what sense can children consent to genital mutilation

First, I think it’s important to draw a distinction between the practice of genital mutilation - a practice that is alive and well in various cultures and maims significant numbers of kids every year in the name of religious superstition - from sex change operations.

Regardless of what you think about the appropriate age for such a decision, reducing this to “genital mutilation” trivializes the issue and tries to draw a comparison with a barbaric practice despite there being no connection between the two.

Almost all forms of surgery would appear barbaric on the surface if not for the significant utility of undergoing those surgeries. That doesn’t mean we should equate cutting someone open and removing their appendix with a ritualistic religious practice that appears similar at face value.

That said, I made no claims about the appropriateness of these surgeries for minors, nor do I believe someone at that age is mature enough to understand the implications of such.

That doesn’t change anything that I wrote though, even if it’s an important factor to consider for a subset of potential patients.
Hehe, that's nasty :) Yes, of course, you can get all the sums and differences by going up and down that stop and keeping the lowest note pressed all the time. You probably end up giving the wind machine a nice work out too.

Being associated with the creator is more than enough of a differentiator for some fans.
I really enjoyed this. I use a 5700 XT (RDNA 2) as my one of my main development GPUs, and appreciate its particular strengths, and because of this article am quite tempted to get an RDNA 3 card.

A few observations.

First, the astonishingly low latency for LDS (aka workgroup shared memory). Vello uses this fairly extensively (especially in prefix sum / monoid scan operations, plus the stack monoid), so I'd expect performance to be quite sweet on this card. If every card had this, I'm not sure there'd still be a motivation to do subgroups. I also really liked the chart comparing shared memory latency across cards - I already knew that Intel was slow (especially Gen9 and earlier), so it was nice to see quantitative data.

Second, it seems really odd to me that there's chip area for dual-issue ALU, giving over 60 TFLOPS of f32, but the shader compiler only achieves single issue most of the time. I wonder if there are plans to improve performance over time through software updates.

I'd also be really curious whether using Vulkan subgroup size control would help unlock this higher performance. With that feature, the application can query what subgroup sizes are available (32 and 64 here) and explicitly choose one.

I'm really glad this kind of microbenchmarking is being done, we need more of it.

Game devs changing rapidly right now due to UE and Unity. It’s getting crowded and you need VFX expertise. And to be honest, VFX takes a lot of talent and very much labor of love. You’re much better off specializing in backend stuff for games. That said, it’s also very easy to develops your own game using UE/Unity.

One thing to note about GDS is that they pay comparably to many other senior dev jobs in London (and especially the rest of the UK outside of London).

In the US the equivalent maxes out at barely entry level salaries for private industry.
So ignoring licenses is perfectly fine as long as you do it:

a) at scale

and

b) make some other population happy

In other words, piracy should be perfectly fine, too, right? After all there are a huge number of users who benefit from it?
Bot visits need incentives. There's two:

1. the current incentive where individual brands can defraud ad exchanges' pay-per-x systems. Without pay-per-x this incentive disappears.

2. publishers defrauding advertisers. This has similar cost & risk ratios online as either misreporting numbers or bulk-buying papers does in real life. There's also very little tangible difference between the ability of authorities or legal agents to enforce honest reporting of numbers online and in print. The two scenarios are eminently comparable.

Ultimately, removing pay-per-x brings online ads and the ability to defraud advertisers down to a level of equivalence with print.
> It seems like the university didn’t even clearly understand that Muslims are divided on this topic before taking action.

Of course, I'd assume most muslim don't care about this event, besides a minority of fanatics. But I don't think it even matters. A art history teacher should be free to discuss a painting in their class no matter what "Muslims" think.

Clearly the issue is with the school here. Not the teacher, and not the "muslims". This complaining student should have been explained that her demands are not legitimate.
Ooh, I own Slipways :). I don't know if I really sat down to play it (I have a bad habit of buying games and they sit for months before I get around to playing them) so I should do so.

I'm working on a game I'm hoping to release on Steam Early Access in roughly six months. It'll be my first proper game release in over ten years (life happened and a five year detour into board game design), so I really don't know how to market these things very well anymore, and it's an abstract strategy game (specifically a sequel to a game I released on Xbox 360 a decade ago[1]).

And my video game industry network is practically nonexistent now, except for a handful of people I used to work with back when I was doing it professionally.

Do you have any recommendations for building up a brand? I was going to start live coding on Twitch, especially since there's going to be some Twitch features in the game I need to test anyway, but beyond that I don't really know what's effective anymore.

How would you distinguish that definition from one for "type"?
Interesting, 80% seems a bit on the higher end nowadays though? For example, Google quantified this as the "datacenter tax" and through their cluster wide profiling tooling saw that it was 22-27% of all CPU cycles (still a huge amount). They go a different route and suggest hardware accelerators for common operations. Datacenter tax was defined as:

"The components that we included in the tax classification
are: protocol buffer management, remote procedure calls
(RPCs), hashing, compression, memory allocation and data
movement."

I get it, but at the same time, there's not really anything new in computer science for the run of the mill enterprise developer. We're paying massive, massive complexity penalties to get a little bit of gain in productivity in only a few areas. React is a great example. High complexity to the same thing we used to do in SSR but in the browser just to find out we probably want to keep doing SSR in most cases. Was the 10 year battle we've been fighting on front end toolchain worth it? Depends on whether you fought it or you just inherited the results. If you fought it, you were dumb.

so, what's the problem here exactly, as you so eloquently asked?
There are tax loopholes that are probably bad for society (e.g. buy, borrow, die), but charitable donations like this one are probably a net win. Having the option to make such donations incentivizes them over doing something else (potentially something else non-taxable) with the assets, and charities are often (but not always) more effective than governments at accomplishing things that benefit society.

I don’t drink anymore, but as I got older the hangovers got worse. I looked for different alcohols (low sugar wine) which improved things but every single digit “n” times I drank I’d have a terrible hangover. I figured there’s was an emotional vulnerability component involved.

When pot was legalized I went through all the pot options, but even one drag on a pot vape would leave me with an altered hangover physical feeling the next day.

I just stopped chasing an altered state, or one beyond coffee, and working out more.

My heart goes for this teacher I am sure if someone depicted her or anyone, she cares about in a derogatory manner she'd be so happy and grateful and quite tolerant, she'd joke about it I guess especially if the picture was shown to a wide audience.

Wikipedia says "In economics and in an ecological context, the tragedy of the commons is a situation in which individual users, who have open access to a resource unhampered by shared social structures or formal rules that govern access and use,[1][2] act independently according to their own self-interest and, contrary to the common good of all users, cause depletion of the resource through their uncoordinated action in case there are too many users related to the available resources". That is not a fairy tale.

Binge drinking is defined by the UK at 8+ units for men and 6+ for women, 250ml of tequila is around 10. Although I think reality most men will drink far more than 10 units.
From the source paper that is being referenced (from Nature):

> During seasonal influenza epidemics, diagnosis on the basis of clinical presentation has reasonable accuracy in previously healthy young and middle-aged adults, in whom the presence of fever with either cough or sore throat is associated with influenza virus infection in ~80% of patients.

So Wikipedia doesn’t add that this statement is about the accuracy of diagnosis by a clinician, and completely ignores the important symptom of a fever.

Just prior to the statement referring to 80%, Wikipedia also states the following, with references:

> In a typical year, influenza viruses infect 5–15% of the global population

I would've said the same about many companies, but after reading some books (Especially the older one from the founder: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22155.Let_My_People_Go_S...) I feel it's genuine in their case and not just greenwashing.

There's many instances in this book where they did the right thing, even if it as not the standard and they could've made more money by doing it the "standard" way (worker rights, materials, jumping on fast fashion trends,...).
> My son was surprised to see an ad or in app purchase in an Apple Arcade game.

They probably call it "included promotions" instead of ads, and pretend it’s okay.
If they just wanted to avoid taxes, they could have done it in the same way every other rich person seems to manage to do it (some combination of offshoring corporate earnings, borrowing against assets, and a variety of loopholes). Instead they gave away the entire company.

Not saying it makes them saints but it’s hard for me to view it so cynically.

Any reason to suspect that "make climbing K2 safer" could be in the (say) top 10,000 national priorities for China or Pakistan?

Delayed error ack is a completely orthogonal issue. Only necessary as a performance workaround, both in the case of unflushed disk buffers, sockets and distributed systems.

Parent presented sticky errors as an effective substitute for exceptions or error codes. Delayed errors is not a way to organize error handling easier, which I believe this topic was about. Delaying the error ack has quite the contrary effect, fail fast whenever possible will always be more accurate. How that surfaces to the caller is the more relevant question.

What happens when the disk is full or disconnected when copying 4GB src file to dst file after 100MB progress? (Yes, this error might occur slightly delayed due to buffers.) You surely don’t want to continue reading the remaining 3.9GB source file and call write() in noop-mode another thousand times in your loop before realizing this error on flush. Adding manual flushing just to check the error both negates the performance from the buffer and introduces extra complexity for a simple error check. Hence, every individual write must be checked regardless.

Such buffers are not infinite either. What do you do when write() fails because the buffer is full (EAGAIN)? Again back to square one of checking each individual write call instead of only checking the final error of flush or close.

I was an academically trained professional artist who is now an engineer. I "stole" work all the time as an artist by absorbing and fusing the specific elements that I found to be neat in all my heroes and idols. I was considered to be very creative and talented by everyone around me. This wasn't some shameful secret I held. This is exactly what artists are meant to do when they're encouraged to "study art history".

This isn't some hypothetical. I went through the art portfolio scene and survived 4 years of critiques - I know about the sacred process called the "creative process". None of my and my peers' work would exist without the inspiration of the centuries of art work that stood before us. This is what we call art in the industry and by the public masses. The criteria you established for "why AI art isn't art" applies directly to the "conventional art". So I have to ask, why is AI art different?
I live in New Mexico with a 6.7kW array. My house is heated with air source heat pumps. In the summer, we generate 3x the electricity we need. In the winter, we generate 1/3x of the electricity we need. Last year we generated 91% of all our electricity, the year before 93%.

We would need a gigantic store for heating our house, because for 4-5 months a year, we are generating less electricity than we need. Something on the order of 15MW of storage.

We could certainly our home's thermal efficiency, though this would be complex. We could also add more panels, but then we'd be overproducing by even more during the summer.
