> Presumably this evidence will eventually come to light through court proceedings.

Probably not. Great effort is made to hide the use if NSLs. Instead, they engage in "parallel construction" -- reverse engineering a different way of getting the evidence they've collected, so they can use the evidence in court without revealing the NSL.
That would be a consideration if you'd have to frequently scan the tokens linearly. But I can't think of a scenario where you'd want to do that at all. And if you've got such a situation, I would say that indexing into the original file contents is pretty close to optimal in terms of cache. Because tokens are already extremely close in the source code, optimizing for a source where they are spaced wide out seems silly.

In many scenarios you need token spans / token strings only for diagnostics, in other words you almost never need them. When any individual data item is rarely looked up, being economical about memory footprint will in fact improve your overall cache hit rate. You only want to store enough information to retrieve the tokens just in case, so storing file offsets is exactly the right call.
This is a tangent. Only the garage roofs have solar thermal collectors on them. Every existing suburban area in the USA regardless of density has enough building roof volume to fully supply a Drake Landing-type thermal system and eliminate heating inputs. Drake Landing shows it will work even in the exurbs. I would guess it could provide enough heating for low-rise apartments and row houses as they have reduced heat loss compared to SFH to make up for the lower available roof area. They cover the deep bore thermal system with dirt and make it a park. I would expect you could put a building over it too. It literally doesn't need to take up any additional land area, so the fact that Drake Landing is an exurb does not mean the system would only work there.

What I haven't read enough about is whether it's limited to a certain geology. I assume it wouldn't work in Florida, but it's not needed there.

Back to your tangent, Drake Landing isn't a giant paved area: the vast majority of the area is not paved or building. I also don't know why you're counting only arable acres as they're houses not farms. Since the system only needs a large-garage-roof-sized thermal collector and the average house roof is larger than that (and if the roof is even smaller so is the thermal load) it's completely irrelevant.

I must say every time I leave Brazil, even though I don't really enjoy the country that much, I REALLY miss Guaraná LOL. It's so much better than any other soda, specially in the US where Coke has something like 5 tons of sugar per milliliter. I often wonder why the national companies haven't managed to widely export these or produce them elsewhere, I think a lot of people would really enjoy it.

Meanwhile Coca-Cola has made their own version of Guaraná called Kuat [0], but it's mehh at best, I seriously hope it doesn't mess with outsider's perception of the drink. They then created yet _another_ soft drink with Guaraná under the Fanta brand [1], that one is better IMO but a lot of people don't like it too. Wonder what's so different between those recipes.

Someone should sell a complete solution to make it easy for non-techies to use. Sell a small computer (perhaps a Raspberry Pi) with the right software installed, the Coral accelerator, and several cameras bundled in a package. Make it clear that this is just a sale of hardware, not cloud data storage. It should be as easy as buying a Ring or a Nest, otherwise it will forever just be tech people's toys.
Oh they definitely do sell it. And the more money you spend the crazier it gets (cross-camera facial recognition? you can go full blown surveillance on your neighborhood).

I bought a Synology NAS and I just added cameras on my home network in the web UI.

Does motion tracking, auto recording and the app rocks. It doesn’t ping me but I also haven’t looked for that feature.
I love Guaraná and agree that Antarctica is the superior brand! Wikipedia describes the taste as "mild and slightly apple-like, with a berry after-flavour" [0] but I agree it is more like ginger ale or like spiced ginger beer. It is pronounced "gua-da-NAH".

It is also called "Brazilian champagne" [1], has as much caffeine as Coke, but much less sugar even though it tastes as sweet due to the Guaraná taste.

It's frustrating how often tech folks think there's "one neat trick, JUDGES HATE HIM!" to avoid the law. There isn't. The law and how it's practiced is generally (though of course not perfectly) robust to technicalities.

You aren't the first to think that you can "accidentally" do a thing, snicker about it, and get away with it. It's literally the first thing anyone thinks of, and laws have had thousands of years to get wise to this ancient trick.
Somewhat offtopic: I really wish we had more websites like this one. We should make it easier for end users to learn how to build their own sites and host them, even if just as static pages.

I've scraped numerous websites like these put together by university teachers, intended as learning material for students. Lots of the have now disappeared.

They are crude and unpolished in the modern sense but the content they hold is invaluable. They are not bound by commercial motives and that's exactly what makes them special. The free-form of the medium also enables them to take whatever shape their creator envisages.

This is a weak argument against checkstops. If you're a worse driver without alchohol or other relevant impairments then you shouldn't be driving either. I can't see road signs very-well without corrective lenses, so I don't, and I wouldn't pass a test without them. If you need alchohol to be a good enough driver, you probably won't pass the test sober, or we should have better tests. Moving cars are killing machines unless you're driving them well. I've been stopped at checkpoints and support them. They're scary, but driving is a priviledge and you shouldn't fuck around with it.

They're also not a solution to road safety, they just address one category. Overall road safety comes from a complete reversal of car-dependance along with improvements to road design.
> That would be a consideration if you'd have to frequently scan the tokens linearly. But I can't think of a scenario where you'd want to do that at all.

Joining them has nothing to do with linear scanning. Binary search or anything else will still be cache friendlier by having them be adjacent rather than spread apart.

There are also additional advantages I didn't mention. e.g., you can combine strings from multiple files (and throw away the files) without needing to track or care where they came from. They're not performance-related though.

And no, I'm not saying you should do this everywhere. Use what makes sense for your situation.

Quicken. In recent years under new ownership they have fixed a lot of the bugs and it now does math correctly :) It has two features that I love - the projected balance chart that uses all your memorized payments to show you if you're overspending. And the retirement planner where you put in your investments, assets, future income, and desired income in retirement to see if you will be solvent after you leave the working world.

It has the ability to download transactions from your bank and credit card accounts, but I'm not comfortable giving it login privileges. So I keep the paper credit card receipts and enter them manually (I normally don't have a lot of them).
The Apollo4 can also attach QSPI SRAM which could allow adding more RAM and perhaps allow running common lisp...
I dont even know where to get travel content.

I thought it would be cool to write about travel, I think ive been to like 15 countries. But who would read my stories or even find them?

I saw i could maybe sell some stuff for like 30 cents a word? It looks like a ton of work to make that maybe happen.

Idk id be interested in hearing about people's success with writing about travel. In real life, no one wants to hear it lol, is there really an audience?

This take isn't right. Stripe has done the right thing here. They've always been honest about what the comp was, what the risks were, and now they are doing the right thing, again. The employees involved recognize it as such and the only people making disparaging remarks are either not involved or don't understand it.
I agree that lots of other creatures are unique! But just as one example, mathematics is categorically unlike any other niche. I'm not sure how it's irrational to point out that humans have remarkable differences from other beings, when the evidence is all around us.

I'm not sure I need any supernatural or anthropomorphic ideological bias to examine the evidence of what is currently being produced by LLMs or any other kind of AI and say that it has distinct characteristics.

I'm not making an argument about validity. I'm not saying LLM-created content is wrong and invalid. I'm just saying that it is obviously produced in a different way than humans produce content. It resembles human-created content because it was designed, by human intelligence, to resemble human-created content! And that we achieved even this level of resemblance is pretty impressive.
The less space-efficient but more cpu-efficient alternative is to store an offset and a length. Which is, in essence, a string_view.
It would be interesting to see how you were testing for that, because at least on AMD it's fairly certain that a single thread can be shading multiple primitives.

For example, from the ISA docs [1], pixel waves are preloaded with an SGPR containing a bit mask indicating just that :

> The new_prim_mask is a 15-bit mask with one bit per quad; a one in this mask indicates that this quad begins a new primitive, a zero indicates it uses the same primitive as the previous quad. The mask is 15 bits, not 16, since the first quad in a wavefront begins a new primitive and
so it is not included in the mask

The mask is used by the interp instructions to load the correct interpolants from local memory.

In fact, in the (older) GCN3 docs [2] there is a diagram showing the memory layout of attributes from multiple primitives for a single wavefront (page 99).

That being said, of course I expect this process to be "lazy" : you would not want to buffer execution of a partially filled thread forever, so depending on the workload you might measure different things.

I’m not sure what I think about this. It’s literally the first time I hear about Silvergate, I don’t have strong feelings about its continued existence or lack thereof, and my vision of the ideal situation in cryptocurrency is rooted in, like, 2010, but I’m reading this and...

> It’s just last week that US regulators warned banks about this [...]. It’s almost like they knew this was coming. The regulators did not quite say “therefore, don’t bank crypto exchanges”; in fact, they said the opposite [...]. But you got the idea.

If you stay silent most of the time, but say “we might be on a collision course with an iceberg” an hour before said iceberg comes along, your advice is very valuable (it might not be legibly valuable if it’s the first time you spoke up, but that’s not the concern here). If you say a lot of things all the time and then warn about the iceberg thing a minute before it happens, well, your advice is still better than nothing, but it’s not exactly an example of amazing foresight. And surely appending “captains have broad discretion over the course of their ship, as permitted by law or regulation” to the warning should discount its value further, at least a bit.

> A run on the bank happens in, like, It’s a Wonderful Life, but in the real world of big US banks, that particular dynamic [...] would be strange. [...] The story today is that Silvergate’s customers are withdrawing their money because they are worried about Silvergate [...]. But that's not why they were withdrawing their money in late 2022, when the trouble started. Then, they were withdrawing their money because crypto had collapsed [...]. The customers — crypto exchanges — were the problem, not Silvergate. [...]. I suppose this counts as contagion from the crypto crash to the real financial system [...] It is a narrow sort of contagion: That bank is pretty much the Bank of Crypto [...]. But it is certainly the sort of contagion that regulators will want to discourage [...].

Are the crypto exchanges the problem, though? This doesn’t read like a “cryptocurrency bad” story, it reads like a “being the Bank of Thing is bad” story. Cryptocurrency exchanges are a particularly bad value of Thing here, sure, but generally speaking, if you are the Bank of Thing and an overwhelming majority of your depositors are in the Thing business, then aren’t you essentially betting that Thing will not experience short-term volatility? Most of the time, the most relevant Thing is retail deposits, and as the article mentions, there’s a whole bunch of stuff instituted to smooth that out, but doesn’t this still apply for other, deposit-insurance-disadvantaged Things just as well?

In that view, it seems like, first, there should be indeed some opinions that, if you a running a bank, being an undiversified Bank of Thing on the depositor side is not a good idea, but also, second, that if you are a bank regulator and you regulate a Thing to a point where most but not all banks will refuse Thing businesses, you are very much accepting that those few remaining banks will be vulnerable.

I'm not arguing for or against the police being able to subpoena video, I'm just questioning the real ownership value of storing the video on your own hardware vs cloud storage. It doesn't keep the police from subpoenaing and obtaining the video. It makes it a little easier to fight the subpoena since you can hold onto the video while it works its way through the courts, but that's an expensive process that I think few would undertake so it's more of a theoretical advantage rather than a practical one.

Most likely, this is what you think you want. If Google actually gave you this you'd probably be wondering why your results were so irrelevant.

It's similar to how music players don't use true random algorithms for shuffling music. The truth is that what people want from "random" is "I am not so likely to hear the same song too quickly" not "true random," which would have the possibility of playing the same song twice in a row.

By the way, in Google you can put exact queries in quotes, and there's also advanced search: https://www.google.com/advanced_search
"suspecting" is not exactly the standard that I am looking for when making statements of such importance.

Between "I go to the grocery store because I've been socialized and trained that going to the grocery store regularly is a Good Thing, and I have adopted it as a terminal goal to which I know I should dedicate efforts", vs "I go to the grocery store because I'm out of carrots, my dinner recipe calls for carrots, and I think I can get some there", the latter model is not the one that strikes me as being stretched to explain human behaviour.

As for there being "a myriad of ways to survive without working a daily job", congratulations! Your intelligence has allowed you to identify alternative instrumental goals that provide a path to your terminal goal; now you can rank them and choose the best option. You can also grow carrots in the garden or ask your neighbour if they have any, or ask your spouse to pick some up on the way home. Your intelligence will do the work and find a way. But your intelligence isn't what will guide you toward preferring carrot soup over parsnip soup, and preferring parsnip soup over fasting.

Mmmh there is rather an easy way to get that bug due to float precision is when the vertice positions are the result of some maths. Then two vertices which should be mathematically at the same position will end up not being exactly at the same position in practice due to float precision. Only ways to have two vertices at the exact same position is either hardcoding it, assigning the position of one to the other or using index buffers.

"Do you stock purple widgets?" "No, we're Red Widget Emporium" is not an inappropriate answer. If anything, it improves the trust angle-- you're the experts on Red Widgets rather than a mile-wide-six-inches-deep generalist.

"We'll pretend we stock it but actually hand you to a second tier vendor who you'd never go to directly" is less compelling somehow.
