Where would these struts go? I assume in the landing gear suspension, and if so does that provide enough feedback to adequately understand the load and distribution? That's usually only 3 points of contact across the whole of the aircraft, isn't it?
This is power consumption of (some of) the chips alone. That's pretty good, but the power consumption of the screen, cell radio, bluetooth, accelerometer, microphone, GPS - all of these add up to more than the power consumption by the chip. And not all of them, especially not the screen is going to be affected by TSMC's process change.

Obviously there's many caveats here based on how each person uses their device. But the broad takeaway is - a 45% reduction in power consumption by Apple's chips doesn't result in a corresponding increase in battery life. We'll only know when the final product is shipped.
They're a lot more widely used amongst long distance backpackers, particularly on multi day or week section or thru hikes. This guy set out on what sounds like it would have been a day hike (I'd expect, given the distance, and the <gallon of water he brought). Given that he was setting out for what he thought was a moderate trail, I'm not in the slightest surprised he didn't have one.

Though yes, when I saw the headline, I was trying to figure out how his InReach managed to spark a forest fire...then I saw that he literally was TRYING to set a whole tree on fire.

This is just plain stupid. He got his life rescued, and his lesson.
"Speed" != "Performance"

'70% logic density gain' sounds like 'reduce area by 35%' to me

The only one that might not line up is 'reduce power consumption by up to 50%' vs 'up to 30% power reduction at the same speed as compared with N5 technology'

...but you have to know what's being compared before deciding the numbers do (or don't) make sense
I'd agree - this is hardly news.

What's the next headline ? "Tide comes in twice a day" ?
with roads, you already have a central authority (the DMV) that decides who can drive and who can't. Try taking your home-built motorbike with no licence plate out for a spin on public roads, you'll likely get pulled over by police.
Sorry for being so insistent.

> When I call pthread_join() on a thread, what do I know about it? Nothing. You have to assume it cleaned itself up correctly.

I don't really understand your point. A thread just runs a function. If that function leaks resources, that's a problem with that particular function, not with threads in general. It would be just as problematic when running sequentially.

If you are worried about a particular function or module, sure, you can run it in isolation in a subprocess. But this is completely orthogonal to the topic of parallelism or threads. Just because something runs as a subprocess does not mean it will execute in parallel, it depends on how the subprocess communicates with the parent process.

I mean, if you prefer subprocesses, that's fine, but don't sell them as some kind of silver bullet.

> kill and pthread_cancel may prevent C++ destructors from running.

Sigh. As I said again and again, you wouldn't use pthread_cancel() in the first place. It's like complaining that setjmp() breaks your C++ code. Also, SIGKILL will terminate the whole process, unless caught by a signal handler.

> But even kill -9 will correctly clean up processes

Yes, it will release any OS resources, but that alone is not "correct clean up". For example, C++ destructors won't run. Sending SIGKILL is like pulling the plug on your desktop, you only do it if nothing else works.
>It's been shown long ago that most men rate most women as above average (in attractiveness), whereas most women rate most men as below average.

Is that's from the OkCupid data? While interesting you definitely can't claim that 'it has been shown' if that data is the foundation.
Yeah, well - I don't like Walmart at all, but I will say I've only been really burned by small businesses. Big box stores just take things back usually. Small businesses can't afford to take returns.

Also, generally you can't get everything you need from small shops, unfortunately.

I disagree. Everyone I deemed worth following on Twitter is now on Mastodon. Over there it's like Twitter's early days. It's growing and I think it will continue to do so until it reaches mass adoption.
Knowing nothing at all about this topic, I have a very basic question: How do people find out about the caste of another person? I mean, for example, is it because of the family name? Or dialect/accent? (I'd know if someone grew up in Liverpool as soon as they spoke)
In backpacking, bringing too much stuff (especially the wrong kind of stuff) is a beginner mistake. If he hadn't brought 3 pounds for the large knife and machete and made similar reduction in equipment elsewhere, he would have exerted himself less.

Also, an experienced hiker knows that if you drink half your water but you aren't yet halfway done the trail, you should turn around and go back. You can estimate this based on elapsed time if necessary.
No. I'm saying that's the issue that needs to be tackled.

Having every indian fill out their Caste on a form doesn't address the actual issue.

While you cannot collect an Amazon salary out there - because Amazon won't pay you if you live there, you can collect a similar salary out there from other companies that just need good people and pay them well. Of course you will need to wade through the companies that figure since cost of living is less out there they should pay you less. However wages are competitive for full remote companies, so companies that allow full remote tend to not care where you live, they just pay enough to get the people they need.

Note, such companies do count what country you live in. You will make different amounts in US, India, Germany, and Mexico. For legal reasons people who live in a different country are not equivalent to each others.

Technically 12.5 minutes :). Here's a bit of fun (to me) info about the GPS constellations and the wild speed of it:

- data transmitted at 50 bits/s

- data frames are 1500 bits long, divided into 5 subframes

- Subframes 1-3 are satellite-specific and subframe 3 contains the high-precision orbit information for the sat you're receiving from. Subframes 4 and 5 contain the almanac that gives you a list of coarse orbit info for the entire constellation.

- The almanac consists of 25 pages of data. Each sequential frame has one page of the almanac.

30 second frames * 25 pages = 12.5 minutes to download the entire almanac once you have a lock on a given satellite. All of the satellites broadcast the almanac at the same time, but they're time synchronized so all of them are broadcasting page 1 at the same time.
Most systems have similar IO, OS, runtimes. It makes sense for folks to be primarily concerned with Watts per MIPS.
Seems scary that something like the weight of a single airplane depends upon the amount of planes using some external system. So it seems that they not only discovered this particular bug by "luck" but that they've discovered a whole new vector of bugs.

Don't forget it was written in Nov 2017, AlphaGo Zero was just released at this point. Seeing how the field evolved in a 5-year span, I can understand the desire to be at the forefront.

Personally, I want to keep working on things that I can get to the bottom of. In the same way proprietary software is a nightmare to debug, having an AI blackbox in the middle of my stack could wreck all traceability. However, I can see myself using an AI blackbox when its output is consumed/checked by a human or when "best-effort" is good enough (but treat output as dirty).

Example: sorting documents by relevance (human consumes), code assistant (human checks), transcription of my audio notes (wouldn't do it myself or pay anyone for that, so any output is good enough),

Counter-examples (too dangerous!): AI personal assistant that accept/reject meetings, a ChatGPT text box as an interface for settings, auto-generated tests, Infrastructure-as-a-Desire: input your software and get a new K8S cluster provisioned for it.

As it says in the title. What's capturing your attention these days?

I track how I spend my time and am often surprised to see where I'm actually spending (or wasting) it. Curious for others' experience.
Unions in the US have policies that tech people do not want. Often they are backed up by law, so you cannot legally form a union that gives you the good without the bad.
We're you around for the 6+ and 6s+? Those phones were unobtanium for months and months. The 14 Pro being unavailable for 45 days is nothing. And the 14 not selling because people saw right through apple.
The article poses the situation as a problem, and I say "screw that noise" (pun intended) with my anecdote:

I'm a man now in my mid-30s, and I cannot god damn wait until I'm old enough to be out of the "marriage market" so everyone stops fucking pestering me about marriage.

I find absolutely no appeal in the concept. The legal and social risks of associating with women beyond friendships are simply not worth it. I also consider the idea of affecting and being affected by someone to such a deep extent to be a violation of individual freedoms.

Last but not least: I consider it a cardinal sin to create kids and then tell them with a straight face that life is, on average, fucking horrible. You know what it's like to see your parents pass away? To witness their finals days? It's shit. Absolute shit. I refuse to make any kids, my hypothetical kids, suffer that. I'm not even getting into the other nasty aspects of life. Fuck all that.

So marriage can pound sand.
No that simple ; what is wind speed and direction for instance, which changes acceleration?
Air density will also affect, although that's easier to account for.
Poes Law and all, I'll take your comment at face value.

Where does your percieved need to produce less children come from?

One could also argue that older people who are more settled in life make better parents.

The article also points out a decline in male friendships. Having a relationship doesnt automatically exclude friendships and vice versa.

Personally I think that choice has a similar influence on both. Approaching people you meet only as potential and exchangeable players for your DnD setting or as partners for your bedroom will turn them away the same way.
I first thought it was sarcasm. (Like someone who says: "the main thing I like about iPhones is their single core performance")

>Their misogyny is honestly invading my brain to the point that I suspect every man I meet to secretly harbour at least some of their toxic opinions. I don't even want to bother dating anymore.

Seriously? this is some extreme opinion and approach, really out of touch with reality.

This sub is no different from the people described in this post, just the other side of extrema.
I find this very surprising.
The first sentence of the article states that about 60% of men are single, and only about 30% of women. There's about equal men and women, so that would mean that 30% of women are dating each other, or are in relationships with multiple men? That's discounting men dating men. I find that surprising.
The problem is, if a man hit all these points there's really no reason for him to form a relationship with a woman. Ideal state for a man is being single and having series of one night stands :) Relationships are for those who have trouble attracting women and once they succeed they want to keep their "prey" forever. /s
The targeted ad thing is especially egregious. It goes to Elon's childishly blaming predecessors. Twitter, rightly or wrongly, was never a targeted ad platform. So of course targeted ads don't work on Twitter, especially compared with Facebook and Google who have refined the ability to target ads for decades now. He fired thousands of employees and did not hire replacements with ad infrastructure experience. Elon believes he can will a targeted ad system into existence with a tiny fraction of his competitors' resources.

Elon spent tens of billions of his own money that's now gone for good as Twitter's value is likely below that of the LBO debt. In addition to not understanding ads, it appears he does not understand LBOs. That makes him cranky. He is taking it out on his employees, suppliers, and landlords.
Only if people somehow will learn how to spend less of everything.
"Precision Marketing" is probably the most valuable, employable skill. Not the usual "brute force" marketing that blasts ads at everyone without much thought. "Precision marketing" deeply understands and targets the desires and fears of carefully chosen prospects.

This is basically the art of persuasion and needed whenever two or more humans interact: resumes, job posts, job interviews, asking someone on a date, etc are all forms of marketing yourself.

I used to think programming was powerful; "precision marketing" (persuasion) is even more powerful. There is a limit to how much you can program yourself. There is almost no limit to how much you can program by persuading others to program for you.

I recommend this book for learning more about "precision marketing." I spent years studying marketing, and this book is like a greatest hits list of the best ideas I learned: https://expertsecrets.com/

I figured out I wanted to work in UX while getting a degree in CS. Unfortunately, the CS degree kind of pigeon-holed me as a developer with no clear path to a UX career. Even though the companies I worked for had departments and even entire buildings devoted to UX, my managers couldn't help me get there. (Backgrounds in sociology, statistics, psychology, etc were preferred.)

So I pivoted to "precision marketing" when I discovered how closely it resembled good UX: you need to focus on the user, their desires, and obstacles keeping them from their desires.

If you ignore the musk drama, Twitter is almost identical. So it's not surprising to me.
Answering this assumes knowing the competing ecosystems - I don't. I have been working in the Java ecosystem for over a decade and haven't had the urge to look for greener pastures. Libraries/frameworks that, if they went away, would make me look for a new ecosystem:

- JUnit (Unit testing)

- Mockito (stubbing)

- Selenium

- Spring (mostly for dependency injection, secondly for the many useful adapters)

- Hibernate (I'm off Hibernate now but there were times I couldn't do without it)

- Tomcat

- Cocoon (afaik dead now, but I've written massive applications with it)

- Swing (desktop apps used to be a thing when I was young)

> You have to remember that it was the very first system to even attempt hermetic & deterministic builds.

Given its Google-internal predecessors, it’s not clear how priority should be established (the general guideline in science is that non-public is not science, but that might not be what we care about here). The public Bazel, though, is from 2015, while the first releases of Nix date back all the way to 2004[1] and the thesis is from 2006.

Now Nix is not really at its best if used as a general-purpose build system, but it certainly has and uses hermetic toolchains.

I think Steam specifically does quite a bit more complicated stuff that can affect the rest of the system just to support games than most other pieces of software.

This is a very cool take. Instead of crazy code generation this adds to developer productivity without hours of bug hunting in 99% correct code, and helps devs get up to speed in a codebase. Are you guys designing with large, legacy codebases in mind (e.g. for devs in banks) or something else?
Usually the last name is a giveaway. That said, last names are very regional in India, so someone from north India can pretty much instantly infer the caste of another north Indian, but that person would have difficulty doing the same with a south Indian last name.
This is probably true (and I agree in this case it would be better for a tool like this). What I like about the idea of LLMs is that you won't need to write a couple hundred line program to parse something, you can just describe what you want. And I don't need to wait for someone to write a tool exactly suited for my usecase.

They did not vote in legalization representatives, because the issue had very little salience in elections. Even when serious pollsters run issue polls (many highly-publicized polls are commissioned by advocacy groups, and their outcomes are a foregone conclusion), the poll generally measures the issue in a vacuum, but doesn't come close to assessing what people will actually motivate people to vote.
Yeah exactly, nowadays (especially in the US)... it's not easy to tell what caste a person is from.

If someone doesn't want to share their caste, that's very easy to do.

Hence... discrimination amongst indians is usually around where in india you're from, what language do you speak (tamil, hindi, marathi, etc.), what tier college you went to (IIT?), obviously gender, and other factors.

Comparing Caste to race is completely wrong and it's a red herring.

Having every indian fill out what caste they are on their job application doesn't solve the problem.
