Efficiently Inflating ViewBindings with a Generic and Reified Kotlin Function
The article has a case study suggesting that is not true. It also says that real laptops with this are due this year. It also has an explanation of why it can extract more heat from a smaller surface area than a traditional heatsink in the video. The diagram says 'flowing air reaches the same temperature as the heat spreader' so this is apparently not a limitation at all.

Of course, who knows if all these things are true, but this is a shallow dismissal.
Opt out child beating is not something I ever would have dreamed was still going on in America. At the bare minimum make it opt in.
> for some reason have trouble installing/running MATLAB
The reason is perhaps the biggest argument against its use in an academic setting, so I'm quite happy that they are the biggest customer
I stand corrected, that's wild.
Maybe that's the case. We should be vigilant and treat the concern with utmost seriousness.

Once upon a time, Apple announced they would do this. We can't ever let them.
This is only recently possible! They just got starlink: https://www.space.com/spacex-starlink-internet-service-antar...
People from the Northern Hemisphere don't occasionally forget this - they very rarely remember.
I think disappointment comes from the fact is acts like a ML algorithm that is specifically constrained and limited in its responses out of fear of woke backlash. That's the part that disappoints people, not the ML part.
Not op, but I'm sure, like many people, are saying they would like to see advertised, upfront pricing.
totally embarrassingly naive question : why bother overclocking ?
Replacing Matlab with Python in engineering seems like a very bad idea, given Python's poor performance. Matlab (and most Python) packages get around this by coding everything in C++, then just having users call that C++ code. But then you have to code in C++, which is expensive.

Julia would probably be a better solution for this use case.
Right. They’re driver assist systems, not self-driving systems. So the person in the drivers seat is fully in charge of/responsible for everything.

Unlike Mercedes.
Well it is a general principle of civility that we should believe people by default, unless we have good reason not to. I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say "track record" though.
True, you could move away. That would be after a stranger inflicts physical trauma upon your child, however. Might be best to avoid that altogether?
"Every platform has RVEs eventually" is a pretty lazy answer.

The answer is to stop normalizing telemetry and data exfiltration even if it's 'the good guys' doing it. It's not your "cloud" therefore it's not your data.
> I'm not sure that makes sense

Maybe this is done in order to decouple the orientation of the leads from that of the holes, so one does not force the other? (Just a guess.)
Makes sense. I don't currently know any active alcohol abusers (knew some in college), so the 18.8% seems incredibly high to me. That said we all have biased samples
Even the worst scumbags deserve due process. Otherwise, denying somebody due process is simply a matter of casting them as a scumbag. I am fine with banning this guy from airplanes IFF it is done openly as part of his sentence. The no-fly list is not that, names are added to the list in secret.
It wasn't even a bad reaction. He says he felt quite sick for a few days, which is expected since the whole point of a vaccine is to promote an immune response and that's also the part that makes you feel sick when you catch a real infectious disease. Sensible people will know this of course, and it's clearly stated by reliable sources. Is Musk just trolling at this point? That whole tweet reads like trolling.

(He also mention a relative who had an actual side effect of concern, namely myocarditis. That looks more legit at first glance, but guess what's a common side effect of COVID19 itself? That's right. The balance of benefits vs. risks is overwelmingly on the side of vaccine, at least if COVID19 remains endemic as it's expected to.)
In the narrative there really isn't any reason to think the simulations are 100% as conscious as you or I. But even if I lived in the world of Lena and suspected that uploads weren't conscious, if I were presented with a program which could speak about it's desires, had all the memories of a real person, and had to be cajoled into working with lies and fear, I would be very hesitant to use "red motivation"! Are you so confident you understand what underlies consciousness that you would take that risk?
> or has been physically abused

Literally adding insult to injury and completely seeing through their own policy in one line item. "Let us know if your child has been abused before so we don't accidentally abuse them again."
Definitely not a bug. There is a piece of code in source that looks like this:

function rotateLine(position) {
if (position < halfabet) {
context.rotate((-90 \* Math.PI) / 180);
} else if (position > halfabet) {
context.rotate((90 \* Math.PI) / 180);
} else if (position === halfabet) {
context.rotate((180 \* Math.PI) / 180);
}
}
The follow distance thing really pisses me off. I was recently read ended as a result of the person behind me both not paying attention and having been way to close to me to stop in time. And since other drivers don’t understand the concept of a safe following distance they cut in front of me and now we’re practically bumper to bumper.

Ironically this is one of the areas where driver assist can be helpful. Adaptive cruise control that maintains following distance though in practice I don’t think people use it much.
Maybe not all writing, but I absolutely see it take over corporate copywriting - it likely would be excellent in producing endless copy that is soulless, inoffensive, politically correct, almost entirely devoid of any meaning and perfectly reflecting whatever the current thing is, with all required buzzwords included.
TED is a cult.
Oh man, yeah there has been some absolute dogshit ones on LLVM. The Docker one has also seen some pretty freaky weirdos.

It’s a bit sad, we’re all on the same OSS team in the end. I’ve never found it that difficult to keep it cut and dry on software repos, I don’t know why people don’t just save the venom for forums and social media like the good ol days.

I'm sure that's what they think. I don't know if the data really indicates that going to VC route will make you richer. It could certainly make you more publicly successful.
The "fools" are writing most of the blog posts on TDD.

At some point the No True Scotsman fallacy kicks in pretty hard and that is just what TDD actually is.
Yes, this comment thread has correctly pointed out that my understanding of TDD was and still is incomplete. I think there's some aspects of TDD (such as refactoring after implementation) that I'm not interested in. The two folks I know who are big TDD proponents tend to gravitate towards test first development (TFD). In my mind, that was TDD. You write the tests and that drives how you develop the tests.

In a recent personal project I started using tests on a bit of a whim and found an unexpected benefit that I wanted to share.
From my generation at least (teenagers from the 90's), I heard stories not of beatings, but getting whacked on the knuckles by nuns in private catholic schools.

The private catholic schools in my town being a mix of kids with religious parents, bad kids who got kicked out of public high schools and parents who didn't want a co-ed education for their kids.
Eyeballing RCs is always a bad idea, but if you don't have a scale, a much better way is to dissolve it in a liquid, at a 'known' concentration, and measure that. Alcohol (vodka) usually works well for most stuff at 1mg/ml. That makes it easy to measure with a baby oral syringe or one of the plastic 5ml cups that comes with cough syrup. The vodka also prevents mold/bacteria growth in the solution if it sits for months.

Even with a scale, this is a better method for low mg dosing RCs. Unless you spend thousands on lab grade equipment, Amazon scales can't measure a few mg accurately, even if they claim that.
Corporal punishment by parents is allowed in even more states. I see that as much graver.

EDIT: This is still serious and bad. Please don't misinterpret me.
Thanks for the link to the excellent article.

Emmanuel Todd seems to me quite reasonable for a French intellectual. He analyzes the German confusion and helplessness quite aptly.

This is a contract of sale? There's no copyright, surely, as they're but creative images - they bound by technical restrictions not artistic ones. AIUI slavish recreations don't attract copyright.

Maybe in USA there's a carve-in for satellite images?

Not sure how space treaties fit with copyright; what's the jurisdiction, is it where the satellite was launched from?

Oh! Thank you. That makes much more sense now.
The linked page prominently talks about pricing for existing images from a catalog of existing images, OR paying for an entirely new image
Starting a crusade against anime pfps (one of the most ubiquitous styles on the entire internet) after you watched a youtube expose of an evil online forum is not a reasonable thing to do.
Given your criteria, you might want to consider (modern) C++.

* Fast - in many cases faster than Rust, although the difference is inconsequential relative to Python-to-Rust improvement I guess.

* _Really_ utilize CUDA, OpenCL, Vulcan etc. Specifically, Rust GPU is limited in its supported features, see: https://github.com/Rust-GPU/Rust-CUDA/blob/master/guide/src/... ...

* Host-side use of CUDA is at least as nice, and probably nicer, than what you'll get with Rust. That is, provided you use my own Modern C++ wrappers for the CUDA APIs: https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/ :-) ... sorry for the shameless self-plug.

* ... which brings me to another point: Richer offering of libraries for various needs than Rust, for you to possibly utilize.

* Easier to share than Rust. A target system is less likely to have an appropriate version of Rust and the surrounding ecosystem.

There are downsides, of course, but I was just applying your criteria.
I was friends with someone who did Teach for America in Mississippi. They paddled the kids in the school which my friend at first found shocking, she refused to participate.

The explanation that made the most "sense" was that, at home, corporal punishment was how the parents disciplined the kids. So if at school all you got was a verbal warning the kids wouldn't take it seriously.

IMHO by the time corporal punishment becomes 'the answer' there are way bigger structural issues to examine.
Yes, I was actually considering writing another comment about the next section and how that's (somewhat) changed thanks to git and better distributed version control systems these days.

Regarding that code snippet:

If you forgot that you hadn't finished it, and then check it in, then that's on you. Good news, hopefully you and your office aren't morons and you aren't relying just on the tests from the TDD bits, because TDD itself doesn't directly address creating integration and end to end tests. So your integration tests will catch that. And if not, it'll make it to production and your customers will, rightly, call you a moron. And you'll be embarrassed, write a test to catch the error, fix it, and hopefully not fuck up like that again.

TDD doesn't aim or claim to cover all the testing needed to verify and validate a system. It's one part of the whole (if you use it at all). In fact, it doesn't address validation at all so that's something you have to cover another way entirely.

> If all you care about is green tests you're liable to stop thinking of what the implementation should be doing.

If all you care about are green tests, I'd say you're aren't just liable to stop thinking but that you have stopped thinking. You have become, in my more polite way of saying it these days, a fool. My advice: Don't be a fool, you have a brain, use it.
> Yeah the home MATLAB license is the most expensive software I've actually bought.

Are you sure? The standalone version of Microsoft Office is more expensive at €150.

Windows is even more expensive, but of course most people get that bundled with their computer.
FU money has nothing to do with living a wealthy lifestyle. It's having all your basic needs taken care of so you don't have to do things you don't want to do to earn money.

Magnetic Scrolls! Thanks for the blast from the past.

Here’s a great snippet from an interview with Anita Sinclair, one of the founders:

How do you design your adventures?
We have three development systems. We've got the VAX, which runs UNIX, and all the machine-dependent stuff gets developed on that. So when we've finished writing a game, we then upload it to the VAX, which does all the cross-compiling for us for the different machines. We then have Mac II's and Xenix machines, which run AU/X and XENT, and we have sub-development systems on that. All our tools are written in C.

The CNET AI writing conundrum has reinforced the need for fact-checking
One thing I love about reading the Economist is the non-American perspective it gives me on American news. In the US we call this "corporeal punishment" or "spanking" and pretend like it's rare, no big deal, and maybe necessary. The Economist doesn't mince words referring to it as "hit", "beat", "strike", "hurt", and finally "criminal assault".
Both “Autopilot” and “Full Self Driving” both heavily imply otherwise, even if you’re technically correct.
> If the execs and managers can't get out of the mentality of planning X deliverables for Q3, Y deliverables for Q4 and Z feature by December 10th to satisfy a $10m customer then it becomes hollow and fake no matter how genuine and well meaning the consultants are.

Dysfunctional upper management: maybe.

Customers don't pay money today for products delivered on an indefinite, unspecified future timeline: definitely.

More software engineers should have to be involved with customer conversations to internalize this...or just, I dunno...do a construction project or something. See how much you like it when you've paid money for something bespoke, and the people doing the work refuse to set schedules or tell you what you're getting. Suddenly you'll be a dysfunctional manager, too.

Agile works best when you have a consultancy situation, and the customer can be directly involved in the construction of the product while it is being built. This rarely applies. But even then, customers tend to make ridiculous demands like "advance notice before you change the software from under us so that we can re-train our large team of users", and as soon as you do that, you've got a calendar, a deliverable and a deadline. Probably some Gantt charts in there too, because only trivial projects have a single deliverable.

Then you say "OK, let's actually be agile, break down the project timeline using iterative deliverables and clear development cycles"...now you have sprints.

I'm not defending "Scrum" -- just saying that deliverables and deadlines are part of life.
At least make it user-configurable! I'd trade off a bit of memory capacity for ECC protection in a heartbeat.
Yes, the fact that Octave is FOSS is definitely awesome too, I didn’t mean to diminish that :)
I can remember 486 Motherboard in Packard Bell (quite the entry brand...) systems frequently used 36 bits ECC FP SIMMs.

Printers and plotters from this era used ECC modules most of the time.

But by the end of the century, they were replaced by unbuffered, unregistered 16/32/64 bits modules.

Every mid range server still use ECC. Entry HPE Servers use ECC UREG (unregistered, 9 chips) modules, while mid range and more use ECC REG modules (9 chip + interface controller onboard).
Ironically, UREG module are more expensive than ECC REG.

Also, most workstations used ECC modules. Less frequently since 4-5 years.
That's basically combinations of "regular NOP", "NOP with an ignored prefix", and "NOP with a ModRM". The regular one has been there since the 8086, the prefixed NOPs are 386+ (I believe on 8086 the 6x row aliases to 7x conditional jumps, and the 186 and 286 will cause a #UD exception), and the latter is P6+ but has a very interesting history: https://www.jookia.org/wiki/Nopl

So if you are not going to trust anyone are you going to stop using computers?
We'll never know, but I would wager not.

If the stopping car had been an old Toyota and we all had the same footage... well, it probably wouldn't even make the news in the first place... but if it did, we'd all be blaming the rear-enders. But because it's a Tesla, and there is a possibility that AI was involved, suddenly we shift our blame from the rear-enders and tailgaters to the computer.

We've always had double standards for humans and machines.
The biggest thing that jumped out to me in this article is how UBS is "bucking the trend" by hiring more. Can anyone make heads/tails of what hiring means during layoffs - are they just doing really well as a business or making a different prediction than the rest?

Corporate agile looks from a distance like waterfall in a dress if you get my drift.
...aren't there at least two or three package managers (npm, yarn, maybe pnpm)?

I'm not sure about yarn, but pnpm has exactly the same API as npm has. It simply has a different disk organization and caching strategy. If npm maintainers so chose, pnpm's behavior would be an option within npm. Since they haven't chosen that, it seems completely reasonable to "compete" in the way that pnpm does.
Digital privacy should be a human right. ECC RAM is just another iteration.
I disliked R until I took a bio statistics course. It then made a lot of sense. For graphing and analysis it's great, as a general computing language it's wanting.
I guess it's the European perspective, where most countries have outlawed any c̵o̵r̵p̵o̵r̵e̵a̵l̵ corporal punishment.
My impression is that 10 years ago, Matlab had a few things going for it in terms of plotting, general usability,... that made it a valid competitor for eg R, even if you didn't depend on some of its more unique features like Simulink. Nowadays, I consider it essentially legacy. R has pulled so far ahead in terms of plotting/data manipulation/apps that it would be a no-brainer even if there was no price difference. What used to be a Matlab-R choice is now an R-Python choice, maybe Julia. I happen to have to maintain a fairly large Matlab codebase, if we were to start over it'd definitely be one of those, probably R. I still like the Matlab IDE best, but that's not going to keep me. The most annoying thing is that you have to buy another license on top of the regular one for most interesting things (even the optimization toolbox costs extra, so does statistics, ML, DL - and they're still no match for R or Python).

Some people prefer to trade off stability for a slight performance improvement. With modern hardware I don't think it's worth it to be honest. I want my computer to work day in and day out even if it means a 2% lower score in some benchmark.
> For example, error messages thrown by Julia can be multiple screens long and are as hard to read as C++ errors.

The good news is this can be fixed by using AbreviatedStackTraces.jl, which will probably be added to the base language in the next update (1.10).

> And getting types right is a pain.
Julia's types are almost identical to Python's. Julia is dynamically-typed, with optional type annotations. You don't have to touch types, ever, if you don't want to. I never worry about types when I write Julia programs.
I work as a programmer but started off in humanities. I found the only way available to me to compose text for a living.
The problem is IMO a lack of a coherent flag to output such. If each CLI program would've a coherent flag, it would make the command line and scripting a tad easier. But with a decent command line history (or tool to parse such, such as history | fzf) its reasonably easy and quick to figure out the past.
