Probably useful for Amazon to leverage:

* similar subsidies that Intel benefits from

* public resources that Intel benefits from

* population/education/employees/housing that Intel draws to work there
Great post, and funny writing. Do read. Systems programming IS crucial. One wonders if we do end up going to an apocalypse scenario, we would realize it's importance.
i don't get the comments : the article says that flutter is alive and thriving, yet the comments speak of the tech as something soon to be dead.
Yeah in a large subset of the population (I think between 50-60% if i'm not mistaken), but then what about the other 40% ? That's the thing with health nutrition, you can't really generalize very well.

But why? Religion? Marking territory boundaries? Some kind of barrier to stop water flowing? Fencing for animals? I think it unlikely someone just decided to do it to mess with future archaeologists.
Talk to a local accountant. Even if there's no law for your specific situation, there will be one applicable for the country, or at least a known rule everyone follows that's accepted by the local tax org.

It is actually a massive amount of data. Gigabits per second that need to be aggregated, sorted by geographic region, fed into multilateration systems, and cleaning the output before it can be shown on a map.

He's one of the last speculative-fiction aficionados...always looking at current and emerging trends and figuring out some way to weave them into [an often-incoherent] larger story.

I was always pleased but disappointed when things I encountered in the MGS series later manifested in reality...where anything you can dream of will be weaponized and used to wage war.

And silly as it sounds, The Sorrow in MGS3 was such a pain in the ass it actually changed my life. That encounter gave so much gravity to my otherwise-inconsequential acts of wanton murder, I now treat all life as sacred and opt for nonlethal solutions everywhere I can.

(I only learned after I beat both games that MGS5 and Death Stranding implemented similar "you monster" mechanics.)
The header to the graph says "Ship to Location" so probably under the US, unless they ship older units from Taiwan to the US and send new units to Taiwan. Intel reportedly sent at least one EUV machine from their development site in Oregon to a production fab in Ireland, so it's possible they could do the same.
Not nearly as profitable.
I'd like to agree with that, but there is the example of encryption where poor layering/combinations can make security of the result less good, AFAIK.

However, in practice I think that you are right.
If you think those are good arguments then... enjoy helloSystem I guess.

I think (I'll have to touch it up soon) that my CV bundles skills by degree of familiarity. I wonder if that's appropriate?

For instance, I have used lisp dialects to build useful functionality, but I'm not that comfortable with it. Does that kind of thing have a place on a CV?

Most CV advice I could get seemed to be from non-technical people.

I guess I primarily want to showcase adaptability, and making a laundry list of languages I have "notions" of could work. As long as it can be reasonably explained, one can probably put it on a CV, though it depends on the recruiter.
Interesting. I associate the region with air pollution and carbon-intensive power. Ohio is near the bottom of the 50 states in wind and solar energy. A few years ago I would not have said Ohio was going to attract so much datacenter construction, but now every big datacenter operator is there.

Hmmm... I'm surprised I'm not seeing anyone else question the validity of this taking "2 hours" Given that it's written on the blog for the product it's using, this reads to me a lot like a pure sales pitch. They want us to believe if you use Patterns (which is neat), your company will be much more cost-effective.

I'm not saying that's bad - that's probably the right thing to do with their company blog, and it's cool nonetheless. But I do get a little tired of people putting stuff out there like this that warps (some peoples) perception around how long things actually take. We wonder why, as an industry, we misjudge timelines on things left and right.

Even if we take it at face value, this is a person who's intimately familiar with this product. So sure, it's easy to set things up when we've done it a bunch of times. If you were doing this, solving the novel problem that you're faced with, is that how long it would take? Plus that's not really what most of us get paid to do. We have to learn on the fly and figure stuff out as it comes.

So rather than have the provocative headline and conclusion, like a lot of other people have commented... this is really something that could amplify that $50/hour employee, not take their job away. And maybe we shouldn't read into the alleged speed so much. YMMV.
Safety wasn't fashionable back then
18K USD is a LOT of money in India. Real estate in bigger Indian cities is super expensive. Everything else is much, much cheaper than western countries. You can get fantastic food (tasty and healthy) compared to the U.S, very cheap. Things can get much, much cheaper if you step out of the bigger cities.
Did you read the article? you think it’s a good thing that psy-ops soldiers are using sex as a selling point for national service?

This is the simplest and most likely answer, not everything in tech is a big masterminded ploy
I've been thinking that for months, but recently swung towards being more optimistic about SD again, everything midjourney looks midjourney while SD allows you to create images in any style. MJ really needs to get rid of that MJ style, make it optional as it's undeniably pretty, it's just becoming a little much.

But I still feel 2.x is somehow a degradation of 1.x, its hard to get something decent out of it. The custom training/tuning and all is nice (and certainly the top rain to use SD over MJ, many use cases MJ just can't do) but it should not be used as a band-aid for appearantly inherent shortcomings in the new clip layer (I'm assuming this is where the largest difference comes from, since the Unet is trained on largely the same dataset as 1.x).
Not sure I agree.

It's not hard to come up with tasks that inherently cause widespread death regardless of the skill of those who carry them out. Starting fairly large and heavy objects moving at considerable speed in the vicinity of other such objects and pedestrians, cyclists and stationary humans may just be one such task. That is, the inherent risks (i.e. you cannot stop these things instantly, or make them change direction instantly) combines with the cognitive/computational complexity of evaluating the context to create a task that can never be done without significant fatalities, regardless of who/what tries to perform it.
That reply would fit better on Reddit than HN. Here we discuss things with curiosity.

If making a claim that humans have ephemeral things like souls and adherence to some kind of objective morality that is beyond our societal programming, then it's fair to ask for the reasoning behind it.

Every year machines surprise us by seeming more and more human (err, perhaps not that but "human-capable"). We used to have ephemeral creativity or ephemeral reasoning that made us masters at Drawing, Painting, Music, Chess or GO. No longer.

There are still some things we excel at that machines don't. Or some things that it takes all the machines in the world to do in 10,000 years with a nuclear plant's worth of energy that a single human brain does in one second powered by a cucumber's worth of calories.

However, this has only ever gone in one direction: machines match more and more of what we do and seem to lack less and less of what we are.
So because the supreme court is your preferred branch of government to defend free speech and because the supreme court is not very democratic you think Americans shouldn't have free speech on social media. What an absolutely remarkable argument in its own right. I hope you are proud of your ability to construct arguments like that.
That may be fine for getting past recruiters, but if you get to competent tech interviewers who decide to ask you about technical things you are "expert" in, and you flounder, then your credibility is shot.
Every midjourney image has the same feeling to it. A bit 1950s sci-fi artist. I guess it's just that it all looks airbrushed? I can't put my finger on it.
Good. DEI is evil and a cancer on our society.
> In bacteria grown in well-oxygenated laboratory conditions, the antidepressants caused the cells to generate reactive oxygen species: toxic molecules that activated the microbe’s defence mechanisms. [ ... ]

So the study shows that antidepressants help bacteria resist antibiotics if you test in oxygen-rich conditions. But that doesn't match conditions in the human body, so this may not even be relevant to humans.

Their next step is to study it in mice, which makes sense, but to me it seems like you can't conclude much right now.
So you need 10 digits to the left of the decimal and 2 to the right, for 12 total. A Double should be fine.

Love this tagline. But it looks like the answer is marketing?
It's a coincidence in the sense that there's probably not a particular reason for Amazon to want to be next to Intel.

It's not a coincidence in the sense that Ohio recently passed a bunch of tax incentives for building "megaprojects" [1], and New Albany in particular seems to be investing heavily in the infrastructure that would be required for such projects. So it's not surprising they both ended up there.

I guess I could see how that's neat, but for me, I wouldn't want it. I think the computer should organize files for me and I care not where they are on-screen, just that they're organized. (Then again I live in a terminal, "ls" is my directory viewer.)
Well said:
The point is to make a proper effort to make the tools we use better.

Humans will always make errors. Let's stop denying that and start fixing the mess we are making.
Those resources are still owned by the root user so regular apps can't change them. Turning off SIP gives you something more like a regular linux system. The problem was when a normal user is prompted to type their password by an application, they simply do it granting the program root access so Apple decided regular users shouldn't be able to accidentally do this. If you need that access, you have to reboot in recovery mode to turn off the safety rails.
> there is not a henge associated with the site

To be fair, the average person doesn’t know that henge is a word with a specific meaning, and Stonehenge is just the name of a place with stones stacked in a pattern. So this is kind of like that.

Also, continued public interest is probably one of the reasons that research grant money continues to be available to study something that was found 15 years ago.

So cut the general public some slack :)
This I knew as well and have used in the past. It's perfectly fine if you do calculations in only one direction, say from amounts to percentages. This algorithm guarantees you that the sum of percentages (in this case) is 1 regardless of division errors. It doesn't work if you want coherence between amounts and amounts calculated from percentages derived from those amounts, because you're cumulating errors.

Edit: never mind, the code I tested it was wrong, this way works. However the advantage over just increasing precision is unclear to me (in the coherence between back and forth scenario)
That makes sense, you can instead specifically Drop the lock guard but the block scope ending will do that.

If you aren't already it's perhaps better to identify an object that's being locked, which you can have the Mutex wrap. So e.g. you could have a Mutex<Goose>, and then functions, even methods can take a reference to a Goose to ensure you can't call them by mistake without locking the Mutex - as you otherwise don't have a Goose. If the Goose doesn't need any actual data this will be free at runtime, the compiler type check ensures you took the lock as needed but since it's a Zero Size Type no machine code is emitted to deal with a Goose variable.

Probably your application has a better name for what is being protected than Goose, that's just an example, but having some object that is locked can help ensure you get the locking right and that your mental model of what is being "locked" is coherent.

Of course sometimes there really is no specific thing being locked, even an imaginary one, it's just lock #4 or whatever but in my experience that's rare.
Here's one notable use that I doubt many are familiar with:

let iter = some_iterator_expression;
{iter}.nth(2)

For some reason, nth takes &mut self instead of self (note that T: Iterator => &mut T: Iterator<Item=T::Item> so there was no need for this in the API design to support having access to the iterator after exhaustion; it was a mistake). So if you tried to use it like iter.nth(2) with the non-mut binding, that would fail. But {iter} forces iter to be moved - unlike (iter) which would not. Then iter becomes a temporary and we're free to call a &mut self method on it.

In general: {expression} turns a place expression into a value expression, i.e. forcing the place to be moved from.
> People First is still wildly different from "we are family". The former implies treating people with respect as humans versus entries in a spreadsheet

Few things embody better the "entries in a spreadsheet" concept than laying off people to adjust a finance balance.

They are not a charity, sure, but "People first" is still bullshitting people.

That's why I think AGI is more likely to emerge from autonomous robots than in the data center. Less the super-capable industrial engineering of companies like Boston Dynamics, more like the toy/helper market for consumers, more like like Sony's Aibo reincarnated as a raccoon or monkey - big enough to be be safely played with or to help out with light tasks, small enough that it has to navigate its environment from first principles and ask for help in many contexts.
It's neither China nor the West. It's Africa.

It is is true that toil erodes development velocity and code quality if you have a team of utility players, or if your toil takes up a critical mass of work. However, there are situations where automating toil doesn't increase development velocity:

- You have a developer who is good at manual, repetitive work but has trouble with more creative tasks (toil can keep this person productive as you work to develop their creative potential)

- You have a new developer who needs to learn the system, or your team is inheriting a new project (toil can be a great way to understand the system, its strengths and weaknesses, and possible Chesterton's Fence situations - this is similar to the "don't renovate your house until you've lived in it all four seasons" advice)

- Some toil is unavoidable - our team ingests data from hundreds of websites we don't control. Website operators can change their site content to literally anything, and it's impossible to account for all the issues this can create - even though the fixes can often feel simple and repetitive.

That said, toil is usually unpleasant and feels less impactful, and automating unpleasant work usually has good knock-on effects (happier team members who feel like they're doing impactful work tend to be more productive, stay together longer, and refer their friends).
A nice read.

Slightly off-topic, but Stargate is one of those movies, like the 90s Mummy, like Tremors, that's really much better than it needed to be, and remains greatly entertaining today. The care they put into the Egyptology really speaks to that.

You can absolutely record the sound in realtime, but you're also losing fidelity in that recording. It's obviously not as bad as not having the audio at all, but if you're trying to capture it to upload to another provider then the experience your 2nd-provider audience gets is not as good as the 1st(Apple)-provider.
This seems fun, but certainly unnecessary. All of those questions could be answered in seconds using a warehouse tool like Looker or Metabase or https://github.com/totalhack/zillion (disclaimer: I'm the author and this is alpha-level stuff, though I use it regularly).
JITs have very different constraints (but also many advantages) vs AOT compilers, so I don't think in the general case a language compiler can "support" JITs directly. llvm/clang for instance have a jit mode... for compiling C/C++, not some other language.

Also obviously the compiler writers (AOT or JIT) need to know about and understand very minute details of how a cpu is behaving. I was responding to a person saying it was worrying that devs need that kind of knowledge and experience by saying that that isn't true because the tools exist (I feel that there's some analogy to what knowledge you need for a car: changing oil, servicing engine, replacing engine, designing an engine...). Once you are writing a JIT you're in the "making the tools" group, so you now need to know more than the vast majority of devs (not just more than the "average" dev) that's inescapable.
To the government. Having this available to journalists (and people to check the journalist's work) is also useful.

Yes, the "locked down dictatorship macos" is surprisingly permissive. Impressively you can even dual boot linux on Apple Silicon completely unrestricted without having to turn on off the boot chain security features of macOS.
I don’t have a problem with uneducated people who don’t know what “monetary policy” means. I do have a problem with educated people who don’t want to spend a few minutes to google “Fed’s dual mandate” and consider why that answers their questions about why they lost their job. Not everybody has educational opportunities. Those who do, but are just too lazy to learn high school Econ, get no sympathy from me.
I don't know about too many layers, but you can definitely do things wrong. The difference between ECC (which corrects bit errors) and erasure coding (which fills in data that is known to be missing) is important and I've seen people attempt to use one when they should have used the other.

I've also seen people nerd sniping themselves on erasure coding while neglecting basic features.

Frankly they (probably) had no way of knowing if he didn't want them to. He is (was?) a high level creative. If he goes, "hey guys I can't record Thursday I have something personal I need to take care of," that's probably it.

Regardless of who stole from whom, this copy of the article isn't any better. It just adds some links, half of which are incorrect like the links for Mark Holly and Greg MacMaster to completely different people that happen to share the same names.
I will never understand the trend of “using quotes around things”. Which is a shorthand version for “using quotes around things that I wanted to point to and say, hey, this is something that “goes over here”, you know, inside these quotes, to make sure that you understand exactly what I’m delimiting, since using commas, and semicolons, and colons wouldn’t fit for some reason. Oh look the thing that I’m quoting now consumes 80% of this paragraph. But this is way better than just saying “the modern rule of thumb is to not optimize by writing your own assembly.” Because then it isn’t 100% clear that the rule of thumb is delimited by (exactly) “[do] not optimize by writing your own assembly.” Ya see?”

Aren't people wary about using their very expensive car batteries for the grid?

In short, no. I have a 10 year old Leaf that has been on a V2G trial for the last 3 years. (I also work for the company that built the charger.) The battery is not being deep cycled; it goes between roughly 30% and 90% state of charge. The trial has found no clear evidence that it ages the battery at all. In fact, it appears that this is better for the battery than regularly fully charging it and letting it sit. Calendar age appears to be the biggest cause of battery degradation along with deep discharging and rapid charging (which this isn't doing).
Not everybody does.
Some time in the next few hundred years we will discover that the majority of mysterious archaeological finds were placed there by future humans to mess with past archaeologists.
