IEC 62368-1 places an upper bound on the temperature of materials in electronic devices that are likely to come into contact with users' skin, and that's incorporated into EU regulations[1]. You have two ways to achieve that - add enough cooling such that it's impossible for the device to ever produce enough heat to get that hot, or throttle components that are generating heat if the device is getting close to that temperature. The former requires a cooling system that's going to be significant overkill for most users most of the time, resulting in more expensive hardware that's bigger and heavier.

So, instead, you see the latter. This means that, yes, even if using official Intel DPTF drivers, systems will still occasionally thermally throttle. They may do so even if the CPU itself is not at a dangerous temperature, because the rest of the system may still be too hot and the CPU is the easiest tunable knob in terms of heat generation.

So, yeah, you can still obtain better performance by disabling DPTF and overriding power limits. And in the process you'll end up with a system that will become hotter than permitted by international standards, and you'll risk various types of failure ranging from inconvenient (the adhesive sticking things like rubber feet to the bottom of the machine tending to melt) to expensive (the unexpected levels of thermal expansion cycles causing components to fail earlier). It's fine that you're not worried about these things, but it's just straight up wrong to recommend that people override those limits without being clear about potential outcomes.

> To her shock, Bongiorno saw three more withdrawals from her account -- $940 was gone.

What does a receipt prove? That you have a document for one withdrawal, and most people could be forgiven for assuming a withdrawal is a single transaction.

The ATM operator could see if subsequent transactions took place, but Chase probably cant, unless it forcibly introduces a time limit of 5 to 10 mins on each withdrawal from the same machine. In part this is a data sharing contract with ATM operators.

This is where mobile phones in particular SS7 can be used to place your mobile phone and apple watch next to the ATM in order to prevent fraud, but then also highlights who is data sharing with who, especially if your phone doesnt log the cell tower traffic management pinball wizard in order to triangulate the phone's location.

Some say the nurbs model was also not fit with culture at the time and not supported either on modeling tools or texturing. Game dev would get faster results with triangles than with nurbs. Not sure who should have footed the bill, game studios or nvidia.

True, but in terms of development, the main use of mouse is really selecting text for copy and paste (unless you are hardcore vim user), and scrolling.

Id be impressed if the speed at which you can select text accurately is higher on the trackpad than a mouse. I have seen lots of developers at work on their macbooks do the standard select text->copy->paste, and everyone is way slower at this then people who use mouse.

Maybe its my FPS gaming days that make me better at this, but then again, nobody really plays FPS seriously using trackpads

There's another problem: this kind of GC doesn't know much about the memory layout of the objects it manages, but only the addresses. When it finds a byte pattern in memory that looks like it belongs to the objects it manages, it has to assume they are live. Sprinkling in `free()` whenever it can be judged to be safe helps to minimize this issue.

So what if AI will indeed increase profitability while also net reducing the number of jobs?

Who will buy those high margin products?

Imagine you could build with AI a new Amazon. It will take one person: you and then everything else is AI and AI robots. 90% margin on everything. a business running 24/7/365 every second, no need for rest.

But then suddenly you have 1.5 million people without any job or income. So your market will be reduced by at least that.

now imagine that just like you another rich capitalist builds a new Amazon to compete. the ssme process one person all AI down.

how do you imagine this market? Profit will be a meaningless word.

I think if AGI becomes reality only the first ones having it will profit. Then society as we know it will collapse (for better or worse) and we will need to find a new way to organize economical and political.
So I guess this has been hugged to death? When I send something, it shows "AI is thinking", and after a while it goes away. But it never replies.

You'd probably convert it to bicubic patches or something, and then rasterise/ray-intersect those...

I'm not really convinced curves are that useful as a modelling scheme for non-CAD/design stuff (i.e. games and VFX/CG): while you can essentially evaluate the limit surface, it's not really worth it once you start needing things like displacement that actually moves points around, and short of doing things like SDF modulations (which is probably possible, but not really artist-friendly in terms of driving things with texture maps), keeping things as micropolygons is what we do in the VFX industry and it seems that's what game engines are looking at as well (Nanite).

Because "dysfunctional code" is a mess.
Rust is basically ML-ish with curly braces though. Sure, going full blown functions as first class objects is a bit challenging due to having three Fn types based on how they capture lexical scope. But your typical Rust code base is much more ‘functional’ than ‘imperative’ or ‘object oriented’.
> energy. It's one of the most highly regulated industries in the US and yet energy inflation has been barely positive over the last 20 years

Because the USA is still using oil and petroleum derived products to produce energy, shale oil is the single best source of energy in the USA... regulations barely had to be updated, only for shale oil.

Compare that with Europe where they stopped using petroleum derived forms of energy.

Specifically, compare the natural gas prices in both regions:

> "As an incompetent programmer, you may write code that sets a variables value unexpectedly, which is turn used by some other thread, which will create a bug. So you need functional programming to avoid making this mistake"

Ouch, don't hold back tell us what you really think.

But that is not the entire meaning. If I have a function that has side effects such as a typical OO setter function it may change the state of the object in ways that are encapsulated from the consumer of the function. If someone has to come in years later and change that function it's not always obvious what state changes the function is required to make in order for the other functions in the class to operate. So we have regression tests to ensure any misunderstandings are caught.

Pure functions take in state as data. So we lose the encapsulation but gain clarity.

You are correct however, if we programmers could only do our jobs competently we'd have no need of such things.

Personally I like to setup tools that catch my mistakes, because I make lots of them.
Quite possibly. Though if you have that many cheap knowledge workers looking for work, that's quite a lot of brainpower to be dumped into the few remaining unsolved problems in robotics mass production (not that there are many - those robot dancing videos are terrifying, and Cobot arms are getting extremely versatile and affordable). i.e. digital work might be the first to go - but manual would follow quite quickly.

The deeper incompatibility is between open-core and non-profit.

There's a sort of "embrace, extend, extinguish" type of rivalry between the open elements and that which is closed.

You generally end up with fairly vital or significant functionality that gets excluded from the core version.

I think that the most viable way to make a profit is probably from support and consulting around an upstreamed enterprise edition of the software - but even then, something needs to be done to stop the big fish from eating your lunch.

>All of those "things" will be plugged into an AI and one senior technologist will be able to write a detailed functional description of a system in natural language

I fully agree that this will be possible.

However, having worked in the industry, especially FAANG, Ive seen people getting hired and teams grow from 4 devs to 8 solely based on metrics of how long it takes those engineers to finalize projects, and when you look at the work that they do, so much of it is dealing with bullshit friction that doesn't need to be there.

One of the most memorable examples was people writing Cloudformation stacks. One of the issues that used to happen is that if you fucked up your template, and the stack started deploying a bunch of infra like EC2 instances, and then it ran into an error, it would take the time to delete all the instances it created, which took forever.I suggested that we just use python+boto3 to define our stacks to avoid this, and people looked at me like I was crazy.

So this developer rent-seeking behavior is going to exist for some time thats going to keep jobs in place.
I did. although simpler languages like Python and JS were easier to get your ideas on the screen quickly, they are too resource intensive. Large and complicated pieces become too slow to work on as time goes on, and you have to either get better hardware or use a faster language such as Rust.

Not exactly. I wasn't just talking about multi threaded systems but multi machine systems too. Where there is no shared memory. If you need to serialize your data to send out to a cluster for processing you've already constrained yourself to immutable data.
I've seen several of them in the EU, but never used one.
I hear conflicting voices about this.

On the one hand, the statement "containers are not made for security" is made often.

On the other hand, a lot of work seems to go into the issue of "container escapes": https://www.google.com/search?q=%22container%20escape%22

And going through these results, all of these escapes seem to need privileged containers that are run with the "--privileged" flag.

Isn't that a sign that normal containers are pretty secure? Otherwise, why would all the escapes need special containers started with a flag that actively gives them permissions to access the host?
100% pure functions are the way to go where possible, writing simple code on state is already hard, asking the developer to invent their own abstractions to tie methods / state together is often asking for disaster when the specification changes and the abstraction no longer holds.
> The company endured litigation for securities fraud for quite sometime, declared bankruptcy in December of 1994, and became Aureal Semiconductor Inc on the 9th of September in 1995. This company would also go bankrupt and later be acquired by Creative.

Aureal produced revolutionary audio cards, with real 3D audio - and I mean real. Close your eyes and you would track the sounds in the space around you with your eyes, from your hearing. It changed everything. I played HL with this, and CS too.

I may be wrong, but my understanding is Creative sued them into bankruptcy, bought what remained, and never used that technology. I have never forgiven Creative for this.

Nowhere in the linked post does he talk negatively about those efforts, more about hardware manufacturers not doing their job. But he's objectively right about the average Linux experience on a random laptop. I have never owned a hardware configuration where everything worked with Linux except for the Steam Deck. My best experience was on a Thinkpad from 2016 and on that one I still had to adapt and compile my own wifi driver.

The ‘last mile’ in healthcare isn’t really amenable to any technological cost reduction, especially for the most serious (and costly) illnesses. Any practising healthcare professional can tell you that. We are talking about actually seeing patients, trying to deal with their numerous problems across physical, mental and social spheres, supporting and advocating for them and their carers, tailoring treatment and investigation to their needs/preferences/beliefs, and participating in very difficult decisions about limiting treatment when that is appropriate. There is nothing to ‘optimize’ here. Good healthcare requires someone to take responsibility for the wellbeing of a patient.

The first one, build from sources, is incredibly easy to get wrong.

You may end up with an incomplete python without proper tkinter, ssl or zip support. Sometimes it will look like it works, only to fail later down the line when you use some part of openssl that requests don't exercice often or when you install numpy/scipy wheels. Not to mention someone will do "make install" instead of "altinstall" and break their machine with a 3 letters mistake since apt or rpm python will get erased.

If you wonder how to setup a python venv, you should not compile anything (so no oyenv neiter). In the same way that if you wonder what oil to put in your car, you should not attempt to fix your breaks.

The fact you suggested it underlines my point that you are too experienced with the stack to give advices that would be useful for most confused devs in python. A C# dev that starts python just wants, and needs, one reliable happy path.

In fact, it's part of the problem. Paradox of choice, with too many solutions that won't fit the average user context.

Funnily, now that I get close to 20 years of python, I find myself going back to the beginner stuff.

I always thought the "Whitey" was due to the liver releasing a shed load of Glutathione into circulation. Some people with non Caucasian skin have been known to consume Glutathione to whiten their skin, but its frowned upon probably because it will give people the personality of a vampire or body snatcher.

Anyway if anyone wants to rejuvenate themselves so they can experience their very first Whitey again, especially if one is a connoisseur of bongs in their their nursing home or Florida retirement park, Glutathione is available online as a supplement, your body might just thank you by giving you a few more years.

I think it depends on if you define a functional language as one that functional programs can be written in, or a language that can only write functional programs.

I often see JavaScript described as a functional language, so I think modern parlance leans towards the former.
