D is not C, your experience writing compilers doesn't make this an easy fix. The problem is not the cost of implementing this (trivial) it is the cost to the nature of the C programming language. This will never get past the C WG and will cause massive disruption to how C is used these days.

The point is, it's an easy fix if you make a new language, it is a difficult fix if you want to call the end result C.
Nope.

This is actually the second (maybe third; I didn't even know about GitHub's outage a week and a half ago so idk how Nix was or was not affected) time in three months or less that a partial GitHub outage or GitHub change has taken down Homebrew while leaving Nix unaffected.
Of course, but when you stretch the truth, you lose the message and lose the people you need to reach the most. To me, that sort of truth stretching is way colder than I could ever be.
> You started your post saying that there's no correlation between transistors and performance.

No, that's not what I said: I'm saying that single-threaded performance is no-longer directly (let alone linearly) correlated with transistor count, and hasn't been for decades - but it's single-threaded performance that matters for most end-user applications on peoples' computers/smartphones/etc.

And Moore's Law makes no claims about performance increases either, only transistor density. It's literally the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article:

> Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years. Moore's law is an observation and projection of a historical trend.

The link to performance (any kind of performance: parallel or serial) was made incorrectly by another Intel executive, David House, but that assumption simply isn't true.

To summarize: *yes*: bleeding-edge IC transistor density generally doubles every 18-24 months, but this does not translate into any kind of performance-doubling in end-user applications.
In fact, on the contrary, perceived "performance" (however you define it) outside of parallelizable programs, has demonstrably stagnated.

Email: See CV

I have a PhD in operations research---essentially, I solve optimization problems. You can give me a real-world problem and I can translate it into a mathematical model that can be solved (often optimally) via integer programming, constraint programming, or other methods. I'm the father of four young children, so I'm looking for flexible/remote part-time work (I'm also open to contract work).

I'm currently working on a column generation-based daily fantasy sports (DFS) solver as a personal project. Taking as input the predictions/requirements of the user, this solver can generate optimal lineups for multi-entry tourneys. It is, as far as I'm aware, the only DFS solver that can generate provably optimal sets of lineups for multi-entry DFS tourneys.
Almost ten years ago now, Qualcomm and Apple began suing each other. Apple's position was Qualcomm was playing hardball with patents that ought have a FRAND license. Qualcomm's position was Apple was being mean, and then also to sue various downstream part contractors for not paying royalties they claimed were owed to them but that Apple was contesting. In general Apple won more of the litigation than they lost (but not all), and the litigation eventually ended in a large settlement. But Apple said at the time of the settlement, that it was untenable to have to source all of their LTE stuff from Qualcomm and they planned to secure their supply chain in the coming years. This is that statement now coming to fruition.

So in toto, my impression is that this isn't fundamentally about seeking any particular cost savings or technical difference, so much as it Apple trying to disentangle themselves from external suppliers who they view as hostile or undependable.

Yep, as a 1GB Shared Nanode customer, that was the first thing I checked. Smart move. As a hobbyist I'm pretty price sensitive, and will not hesitate to abandon them if they go too far over their $4 competitors.
I agree that sounds absolutely amazing. Probably also way less than 1% of Quest owners would go through the pain to do that. I’m also assuming that VR sickness would be a major issue for all but the most hardy.
I learned about shifting to divide or multiply when writing my game boy emulator. Something I find fascinating is the lack of precision needed for games of that fidelity.

Say you’re animating a jump and the character slows down towards the apex. I’ve seen an approach where it’s just “every X frames halve the speed until it’s zero.” This is done with the `SLA` (shift-left, LSB to 0) and `SRL` (shift-right, MSB to 0)` operations, which are very fast (8 cycles!) The bonus is that these opcodes will set the Zero Carry flag to 0 if the result is zero, so you know when your jump animation (up) is done if there is no ceiling collision, without having to check the value of the byte.

(I’ve also seen a set of hard coded speeds to animate through, and cases where they don’t change the speed at all, making the animation feel very rigid. It’s amazing what little details are important)
I don't like any of those innovative VR games, they are mostly toys not games, that's what I dislike the most and what I think hurt VR. Every dev trying to be clever instead of old style games (even Half Life did VR trickery too often for almost no value, but the rest of the game was good). 90% of the time you just need a gun that shoots or a sword.

My other comment expands on why I think it should be mostly legacy AAA game remade for it not new ones. Unless AAA studios will actually commit to older graphics, which they haven't.

My favourites were either the sports/fitness games like boxing or space Frisbee (Echo Arena 1), or survival horror, or reaction time shooting games (Superhot). The multiplayer Rainbow 6 style online FPS were also pretty good like Pavlov Shack Beta 2 but very beta.

Otherwise it should be modernized AAA games from the past like Resident Evil 4 showed can be top tier.

Giving people money isn't profitable
Politicization of science leads to overall distrust in everything. Which is good if we suppose to "trust" in science without observable evidence.

Same logic could be applied to consuming news.
I'm betting we will see StableDiffusion models that can create 3D graphics assets, and basically everyone can create a game (no artists or programmers required).
Did anyone else initially read that as `Kosmos~1`, and wonder what the full name of the project was?
In game development, you'll want to do things like this often, but general purpose programming shouldn't adopt this practice. It's literally what the type is for.
Yep the OSI’s position is that FOSS is free labor for SaaS and giant corporations. Look at who funds the OSI and I think there is a clear case of capture here.

SaaS is the least free model for software. Closed source commercial is far more open and free than SaaS.
I suppose as usual it depends on what you're doing. For boring application hosting, DO has been indistinguishable from Linode performance-wise.

DO had excellent technical documentation, okay support (I really miss Linode's), and has been regularly churning out new products. For someone that doesn't like moving infrastructure around, they are a good long-term bet.

Dow and X-energy to build U.S. Gulf Coast nuclear demonstration plant
It's a publicly traded company. Of course they're going to stop all that expensive innovation and screw their customers as much as they can get away with. It's the American way.
That’s a pretty dumb theory. The cyber truck depends on a gigapress that just finally made it to the US to their plant in the last couple of months.

Second, it already had massive preorder demand from before the Twitter drama. There was no need to ensure demand.

Finally, the market for the cyber truck is going to be all of the people who were conscious about fuel efficiency and wanted a truck before but downgraded to a car/crossover. The cyber truck will not make a dent in any rural truck sales where towing and hauling is common.
Would definitely recommend pal95 and swd3 exp, the best two of them. I just checked I can still run them in win 10.
And don't even go past '1' unless you have product market fit.

I do wonder if a lot of these EV startups are suffering from "This Is A Feature, Not A Product” syndrome. Rivian and Tesla have made some very good and clever design choices, but nothing a major auto-maker couldn't clone.
My take is that she is practicing a healthy balance between the environment and social issues.
Hyundai was poised to become Tesla’s top contender. Then the U.S. blindsided it

Well, he's only right in the observation that OpenAI is no longer what it originally claimed it would be (OTOH with a couple of the founders being venture capitalists, one has to wonder how sincere that intention ever was).

It seems a bit ironic that "evil" Google openly published the paper ("Attention is all you need") that desribes the "Transformer" architecture that now anyone such as OpenAI with the money and inclination can use to build their own ChatGPT. Turns out it's about money (10,000 GPUs + tons of data to train this thing) not any secret sauce.

And now Musk's concern has changed from AI being in too few hands to the fact that it's "woke" so he wants to create another AI company to create the racist/threatening non-woke AI that he thinks the world needs. Or, at least the one that he needs, to keep himself at the center of attention.
What about neurons/nerves in the spine or eye?

Student, tradesman, expert.

Some, many and very few, reach enlightenment, and invent stuff.

Many and very few corporations, get the opportunity to intercept the creation = legally, according to "corporate laws", opposite to "man laws", copyright those creations.

Many and very few of those inventions end up written in a book.

Many Books and very few are real.

This is why no company can have publicly available handbook - unless this company follows some of the creative commons laws.

What is really weird about this, they are now more expensive than comparable systems on AWS Lightsail. (Assuming they have not already updated the pricing page on linode.com)

I don’t know how many people hit transfer fees - a few VPS and you’ve got terebytes to spare. But the 20% hits everyone.
Thank you! That's incredibly helpful context.
How is that any different from your watch or phone?

I have yet to find a real compelling use-case for wearables outside of the health space. But after playing games in VR it is quite apparent where everything will be going. It'll be interesting to see how much Apple is able to integrate into their first pass of their AR headset.

I'm curious to see how long it'll take for us to have a daily wearable headset that is as accessible as our other devices to developers. We'll certainly see some awesome innovation, and, of course, people looking to simply mine your life so they can sell you another pair of sneakers.
I mean that's nice, but it's not so nice for my 10$ instance.
Linode is good. But so is Vultr, and Hetzner.
From a different angle, does this mean that when you visit a website, you should not see any ads (or content) until you’ve agreed to the TOS? And preloading ads and their scripts shouldn’t be allowed because those on metered connections would effectively be forced to pay for ads before agreeing?
This will feel a bit like moving the goalposts from me, but I’m guessing you’re talking about BOM costs to make the device? I’m talking about cost of the device+amortized R&D.

I still doubt they’re breaking even on parts because there’s quite a few custom components in there but even if so, that’s still not funding their development of content and future devices.

That means their Reality Labs section is basically borrowing from every other profitable part of Meta instead to keep going.
Some good content, unfortunately buried under a lot of advertising, which makes most of it uninteresting even if I have other means of watching it. The lists are easily available "around", good luck taking down all of them.
Can confirm. Have been using them for a while now and they have yet to cause me any issues.
Prices are super reasonable, especially for the cheaper instances. Been using them as my static IP vpn for my homeserver for a while now.
Maybe they'd be uncomfy if you want a non German owned vps, which is understandable, but $/performance wise, they are pretty damn good
Suppressing Symptoms – A Neuro-Chip to Manage Brain Disorders
Can you explain then, when I write:

struct s {
int bar;
int baz;
} foo = {
.bar = 5,
.baz = 6,
};

f(foo.bar);

Has "foo.baz" decayed? If the answer is no then you have an answer for why there is no decay involved in the implicit conversion.

The fact the function does not receive the array size does not mean that decay has happened.

That being said, nothing I just wrote wasn't in the comment you replied to, so maybe explain what it is from that comment that you didn't understand about my argument for why "decay" is simply the wrong word for what is happening.

Also: This has nothing to do with array bounds checking.

Also: Given the nature of the C language, I would find it surprising if compilers 40 years ago would have implemented bounds checking irrespective of if the language started out with either fat pointers or some other way of carrying the size of a specific array around with a pointer to its first element.
