I’m just going to eat the down votes because I know teachers in real life. And they have plenty of things to do besides running a competition. As a group they don’t deserve the flak.

You can’t be so reductive.

This is a competition. This is not a startup. Competitions have rules. There is no evidence that the rules were withheld from these students. There is no evidence that the other kids were judged by different standards. There are probably other kids that read things carefully thought “that’s bullshit” and got on with it because they wanted to win. They could have read the requirements and challenged the rules before things got started in a public forum in an effort to get it changed because it was a bad rule.

Are people here really arguing that they should be given an advantage over the other kids in a competition, because these kids kicked up a fuss? Even Djokovic didn’t get a free pass. And the Norwegian volley ball team were prepared to pay fines and potential disqualification.
But at this point one can use F#, for example, and get a really nice language instead of a subset of something else.
Most Android devices have an "extra dim" option hidden somewhere in the buttons at the top (you might have to add it yourself from the extra buttons).

It's really dim, one time in the morning I thought the phone screen was off and it was just set to extra dim :-))

The hostile media bias (or effect) refers to the bias of the recipient, not the bias of the media. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostile_media_effect

I.e. "hostile media" bias, not hostile "media bias".

It is the phenomenon whereby an otherwise neutral article could be perceived as equally hostile or biased by either political side, based on their own biases and expectations regarding media agendas.
Thank you!

I had a think pad from the early 90s (running on win. 3.1), that I bought in the middle if the 2010s to also do that.
It had a floppy disk drive and analog port

Anyway, i couldn't even have time to work on it, as materials from the 90s didn't age well.

Just by opening the screen to boot it up a few times, the plastic case broke.

After opening the service panels, the foams inside (because there needed foam on the hdd for some reason) went into mist

so the MB and the electronic part was the only that was recoverable, not the plastic shell

I wonder if OP is having the same issue, if he tries to actually use the laptop
That's an advantage for me, tbh.

Why October revolution was a catastrophe? Or more precisely, from whose perspective?

Tsarists Russia was agrarian state with minimal human rights for common folk. And then take a look what common people had after Stalin's era. Almost everyone had a housing/education. No risks of becoming homeless/unemployed. And that after a multiple catastrophes that USSR indured because of external factors(famines and wars).

Modern Russia is wholey based on Soviet achievements. And it's people are still holding up, provided with food and shelter, despite actions of it's rulers and oligarchy. Indeed, what a catastrophe was an October revolution.

I think QI is there to protect officers making a mistake in good faith. So a better analogy would be an employee who breaks production and that results in financial loss to clients.
Well, depends on how much do you want a 5000-15.000$ warranty repair on your 80.000$+ vehicle to be rejected because you messed around with it.

It's not about difficulty of hacking, but with just how easy it is to put in DRM measures that will make sure that official repair shops will reject the repairs (and unofficial ones are really struggling due to lack of access to DRMed service tools necessary for new modules).
A bigger issue is creating and destroying threads, which can be costly if you don’t do a lot of work per each. Of course, people have worked around this problem for ages with thread pools, but then you’re already breaking up ownership, code flow and screwing up the stack for debugging and panicking. So something like coroutines or green threads is still motivated, it is just extremely different across languages and is almost always a leaky abstraction.
I remember a rather interesting "application specific" thing that happened with Risc PC's in the UK. Because at that particular point in history Acorn and the RISC-OS ecosystem were having to coexist with the Windows ecosystem, people wanted to run their DOS and Windows applications on their Risc PC's. The 80386 and 80486 were bolted onto daughterboards and sold as special-purpose add-on processors, just to run those applications.

ReLU is always used now, because it performs better than the alternatives.
I'm interested to hear about this as well. I might be confabulating a bit, but just a bit, but I remember hearing Keller say that Zen is structured that way that there's nothing stopping them creating a different ISA frontend and say putting out an Arm processor instead of X64. That it actually wouldn't be much.
> The rules clearly state "no Github"

Did you actually read the rules?

"Template engine websites, tools, and sites that
generate HTML from text, markdown, or script files,
such as Webs, Wix, Weebly, GitHub, Jekyll, and Replit,
are NOT permitted."

That rule is NOT clear; it implies that Github is forbidden specifically as a "site that generates HTML". There's no reason to interpret it as meaning that you can't even link to a service that happens to provide templating and HTML generation, and which you are actually using only as a SCCS.

I would certainly interpret that rule as meaning that you can't use template engines or HTML generators. Which they didn't. I would not interpret it as meaning that you can't use anything provided by a service that ALSO supports templating and code generation. The teacher was a dick.
This is actually one of my favorite historical facts. Buddha images are everywhere in modern Thailand and it’s fascinating to me that this likely would not be the case if it weren’t for Greeks in Central Asia
Even more randomly: the current British Royals are also descended from Robert the Bruce, which is amusing given how energetically he opposed the Royals at the time.

Semiconductor manufacturing thrives on econmy of scale. It would be very appealing to disrupt that field by enabling cost effective manufacturing of smaller volumes as well. This is especially true for customized technologies and devices.

There is a very interesting initiative in Japan: https://www.minimalfab.com

I wonder whether this is similar to what Sam Zeloof has in mind? I went through the website, job postings, twitter threads etc. but I am not sure what they are actually trying to do.

There used to be a crazy startup with a simiilar business approach in mind that tried to manufacture devices in small spheres of silicon: ballsemi. Their website seems to be defunct, but there is an article here:

This would really be a good UX improvement.

But the implementation might be a little tricky.

Please raise an issue so we can discuss further, and add it to roadmap if feasible.

PostgreSQL uses a mailing list and Google uses Gerrit to name two "major" counters. There are plenty of big projects and orgs operating under different models.
Unless all the data is stored locally I wouldn't trust it for anything important, no matter how well it's made or whatever.

And for those "low-stakes" accounts I might as well just trust Google or Microsoft, that already have my private emails anyway... instead of some specialiced third party that might become a target for hackers.

It's much more reasonable to think about changing the cosmological or galaxy formational models than it is to consider adding FTL neutrinos. I remember thinking the FTL neutrinos were nonsense as soon as I saw it. You're right that this could be explained differently given time, but it at least seems plausible to me that it could be real.
BMW is just plain embarrassing. A long time colleague was a huge fan of the brand, he'd buy pretty much all of their top of the line models one after the other. Some of them were so often in the shop with software issues that he ended up getting attached to the replacement vehicles :)
The rule didn't say "No github".
There’s a full-color dimming filter in Accessibility -> Zoom -> Zoom Filter -> Low Light. You can assign it to the accessibility shortcut for quick access.
The project looks cool! However, I think the hard part of self-hosting email is not the tech stack, it's getting email delivered to your recipients using Google or Microsoft severe email servers. It's hard to rent a server that IP address is not in a block that big email providers consider suspicious already or will soon. And any mishaps can get you locked out and you need manual intervention to be allowed again.

I used to self-host years ago but I've abandoned the idea now.
The best domain names are two names. Or three.
People have been using this argument against me since I was a child: "this is good for you because the big bad world will crush you", but frankly I thought it was nonsense back then and I still do.

The world is not filled with teacher-type people who will crush you for breaking rules. The world is filled with people who want to get things done, and know that the rules are only there to facilitate getting things done. If the rules get in the way to getting things done, they are ignored.
It's stupid in the sense that it's a waste of time and resources.

Sooner or later after you've had your fun refusing and denying your predecessors, you realize why they do things the way they do, become wiser, and go back and undo and redo all the fuckery you caused with your refusing and denying.

It would be nice if we could get that realization without first having to fuck everything up, y'know?
That is of course also an option, but a less scary one
Great point, I feel often the same. The brain so often goes into a mode of "ah yeah, now is the time to google that one thing I was wondering earlier today", or "I just want to confirm this one small detail about thing X", and then my phone is pointed straight into the eyeballs again.

Speaking of Celtic connections - the origin legends of the Scots claim that they came here via Spain and Ireland:

"They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Spain among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous."

There's even a home assistant blueprint that is quite nice for matching the external colour temperature for LED lights that support it, it's basically flux for your LED Lights.

This plus dimming plus red lights in the bedroom and flux for devices I have found works pretty well.
Can you explain to me, why USSR was a catastrophe? And from whose perspective?

Please, provide economical facts. As stuff about "repressions", althought, for sure, took place in USSR(as in US) and had few very well known cases of excess, is mostly based on US propaganda.

To be clear, i'm not defending the personality of Stalin or any other ruler and aware of excesses in power that they used(whatever the motivation for that was). But i would argue, that it was at the same level as in US(by politician and business owners). And even much milder, if we take into account US colonialism and suffering(physical and economical) that it caused to many nations all across the globe.

I've had a company tell me the other day that you can't do DMARC without using their services. It's just too complex. Why is that - we don't run our own mail servers and we use Google mail for our organization. I'd think Google would do that?

> But it's disingenuous to declare that there's no need for them

I didn't say there is no need for them. They are just horrible solutions.

> I repeatedly recommend that ordinary users do not install software from third party apt repositories unless they really really have to

Fair enough, I wasn't making the case for third-party repositories specifically; I was indeed making the case for distribution-curated repositories.

In general if a version of a particular piece of software in the distribution's curated repository is older than the version I require, what I'm saying is that I will generally go to the project's website "a la windows style", and either download whatever binary they provide, or preferably if possible compile from source. My misc-updates package then simply checks for available updates, which is the main functionality missing when manually installing packages.

Obviously this may not be the best solution for everyone else, but for my own needs I found it far more functional and usable than either flatpak or snap.
It's interesting because of the scaling law. No matter how much acceleration matrix multiplication gets on an electronic circuit, its energy usage is always going to scale as O(n^2.something). The implication here is that the energy usage by doing it optically is O(1). At least, that's how I read "We found that the optical energy per multiply-accumulate (MAC) scales as 1/d where d is the Transformer width". The best you can hope for is to stay on the right side of the constant factors (which, currently, the GPU world is).
I agree, but I think as you’re alluding to, the deeper issue is that the syscall boundary is too big of a fence to jump over for small operations. Hence, io_uring and similar, which pools multiple logical syscalls into one. The alternative way would be to have non-syscalls but kernel-aware libraries that share memory with the kernel, I guess? It’s a much bigger change, philosophically, so I think the io_uring model + user space scheduling will take the throne for the next decade or so at least. It’s a bit unfortunate because we’ll likely see a lot of bloated and fragmented language runtimes, but it’s still vastly superior to what we’ve seen over the last decade+.
It's relevant. The article has a sarcastic section asserting that GitHub is an industry standard and job requirement. What I don't like seeing is a new generation thinking DVCS implies Microsoft GitHub.
iOS actually has a hard to find setting that lets you make the screen super dim. It's been a lifesaver when using my phone in the evening. To enable it go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Zoom and then tap the Zoom toggle switch.

Once that's enabled iOS will now bring up a super secret popup menu whenever you double tap the screen with three fingers. From the little popup menu go to Choose Filter -> Low Light and your screen will go dimmer than is normally possible. With this on and the normal brightness mode set to its lowest setting the screen can get quite dim indeed.

But the analogy would actually be that an employee who intentionally took down production in order to harm a client would still not be liable… because they sabotaged a component written in Rust which hadn’t been invented at the time that someone had previously been held accountable in a court case for sabotaging a program written in C. Thus, the doctrine holds, they could not have known their behavior was illegal, because their behavior did not exactly match something historical.

I bought an Alpha for a project that needed a lot of directly addressable memory, it was the first 64 bit architecture that was affordable and ran RedHat on it. That box paid for itself within the first week.
Respectfully, I don't think your core claim is true.

The UK will usually only exclude evidence if it is not reliable. Illegally or Unlawfully obtained evidence is almost always admissible. This is one of the key differences between the UK and US legal systems. Even getting search warrants ruled unlawful does not make evidence gathered from such a warrant inadmissible.

You may be able to get evidence excluded IF you can show it is unreliable. But not being legally obtained is almost never relevant...

>A breach of rules in the criminal proceedings against a person under investigation is treated as irrelevant to the question of whether the evidence will be admissible. Automatic exclusion of evidence illegally or improperly obtained has never been adopted by the English courts.

(later)

>It can matter in English law how evidence is obtained. Although the general rule is that any relevant evidence is admissible regardless of how it was obtained, section 76 of PACE highlights how the way confessions are gained can affect the admissibility of the evidence. Furthermore, although section 78 provides discretionary powers relating to evidence being inadmissible if it would be averse to fairness, the House of Lords have accepted in A that some illegally obtained evidence cannot be used if it breaches Article 3.

https://www.culs.org.uk/per-incuriam/illegally-or-improperly...

Interestingly the law has a specific section saying you cannot use confessions from torture (one of the few explicitly inadmissible sources of evidence). BUT if someone confesses under torture you CAN use any facts they reveal as part of the confession. I think that gives some flavour for the UK's approach to limits on police powers.

In particular it would be interesting if they can make their manufacturing more accessible. Want to fab a chip on TSMC? You'll either need to find another company to contract/partner with who has an existing relationship with TSMC and can do all the back-end implementation work for you or setup such a relationship yourself, including onerous NDAs so you can get PDK access (that's assuming you can manage to get a conversation going with them in the first place).

It'd be fabulous if atomic went the Open PDK route like Skywater 130nm: https://skywater-pdk.readthedocs.io/en/main/ but even a setup with a 'here's the fab price list click here to pay us $x'000k and sign our NDA to get access' would be a big step forward. Combined with reduced manufacturing costs it would make it far easier for smaller players to experiment with custom silicon.
That is cool. TIL.

A bit less, e-beam has significant limitations in the amount of area that you can cover at once (and is much slower than EUV). Not really suitable for anything besides prototypes and very small series. But once you have a prototype and it works you have the level of validation required to throw real money at a project.
