Silicon Valley Bank’s new CEO urges customers to bring deposits back
Hard to take this at face value; I could easily see the vast majority of these claims being grift

Given that it's exceptionally hard to get on the disability rolls in the US, it's likely that those 3000 claims actually have merit.
I do not think customer behaviour would change that much.

As sibling says, company trading policies usually prohibit shorting the company stock. Also, you have to exit any options during blackout windows. So: not really.
This says it's a system for delivering content "efficiently", but it doesn't look like this manages that. Normally loading a resource is a round trip to your server, which might be a bit inefficient because your server could be on the other side of the world. But what they replace it with is:

1. Round trip to Farba to get metadata.

2. Round trip to your "driver" to get the resource.

3. Computing the hash of the resource to ensure the "driver" didn't cheat.

It could still be worth it as a way of saving money on bandwidth, but I'd be quite surprised if you got the speed benefits of a CDN.
So, I've finally managed to compile Moonray and play with it.

TBH, this was really not as straightforward as it ought to have been:

- some Optix-using code failed to compile against latest Optix SDK, code had to be patched.
- the build instructions at [4] aren't completely foolproof either (don't quit the container before you manage to snapshot it, or else)

When I finally got a clean compile, I tried to render a USD scene [1] ... it turns out Moonray only reads its own proprietary format (RDL) and you need to convert like so (I haven't found this documented anywhere, [3] now fails to load for me)

hd_usd2rdl -in Attic_NVIDIA.usd -out Attic_NVIDIA.rdla

To quote [2]:

Hydra Render Delegate

MoonRay comes with a Hydra Render Delegate that is compatible with any DCC tool with Hydra support, for interactive preview rendering. Upon finalization of the Hydra API specification, MoonRay will provide support for final frame batch rendering, and its Hydra Render Delegate will be the supported path to transform USD into MoonRay's internal RDL scene format.

The conversion is not without hiccups:

Warning: in Tf_PyLoadScriptModule at line 122 of /build/USD-prefix/src/USD/pxr/base/tf/pyUtils.cpp -- Import failed for module 'pxr.Glf'!
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pxr'

The render is also problematic, is spits a long list of stuff like this (fails to load textures, basically):

Invalid image file "/tmp/Attic_NVIDIA/Materials/PreviewSurfaceTextures/curtain_mat_inst_Roughness.png": OpenImageIO could not find a format reader for "/tmp/Attic_NVIDIA/Materials/PreviewSurfaceTextures/curtain_mat_inst_Roughness.png". Is it a file format that OpenImageIO doesn't know about?

Resulting render looks ugly (no textures)

In conclusion: fantastic that Dreamworks decided to release Moonray, but at this point, it's still got some very sharp edges.

The current implementation and purpose of currency transaction reports.

As of 1971 women could vote in federal elections. They could also vote in about half the cantons' elections (the Swiss version of states).

About half because 1971 started with 36% of cantons, it rose to 52% of with the same election that made women able to vote nationwide, it was 60% of cantons when the first vote with women was held. It wasn't until 1990 that women could vote in every canton.
Sure, I worked on TPUs at google, I know you need fast network connections.

But "multiple slingshot NICs providing 100GB/sec"- that's ganged NICs, each one only does 200Gbps. It looks like you're conflating what's available to a single GPU, versus cross sectional bandwidth? I had to spend some time looking at the Slingshot docs because they throw around a bunch of numbers aggregated over different dimensions, leaving out the number of items they're aggregating over (common technique to make things look "bigger").

Another big issue that threw me off is that you're comparing the GPU network on the hosts to desktop computers. But in thinking, I think that's fair since the GPUs are the (primary) processing elements.
And they are experimenting with green threads now. Would be... hilarious? If it landed in .NET before Java.

Respect to anybody who is an SRE at fly.io. Couldn’t pay me enough to do that job
I really really wanted to like and recommend fly.io but I wouldn't risk deploying anything more than a side project to tinker with, given how many random issues I encountered in a relatively short development time. It was a simple Phoenix app which made me wonder "am I doing things totally wrong?" quite a few times, after exhausting all info sources.
But when I tried the same process the next day, it would deploy just fine. Plus the outages that appear to be getting more frequent don't make me optimistic.

At least they're transparent about their issues, gotta give them that. I still kinda root for them, maybe they'll make a comeback.

It's worked for me, and I know there was a pretty healthy secondary market for some of the big tech unicorns before they went public. I sold pre-market shares in a large education startup about a year before IPO, at about 50% of the IPO price, so it was a loser for me and a win for the investor in Cypress that bought the shares.

They even specifically call out Consul as a source of trouble.

> We propagate app instance and health information across all our regions. That’s how our proxies know where to route requests, and how our DNS servers know what names to give out.

> We started out using HashiCorp Consul for this. But we were shoehorning Consul, which has a centralized server model design for individual data center deployments, into a global service discovery role it wasn’t suited for. The result: continuously stale data, a proxy that would route to old expired interfaces, and private DNS that would routinely have stale entries.
The onus is on proving that all these disparate symptoms were caused by covid. The evidence remains (as far as I’ve seen) circumstantial.

I live where weed is legal and all the charm goes right out the window once the allure of illicit fun is gone.

There are weed shops everywhere, like fast food places, and the clientele is pretty similar to Burger King.

Is there room for high-end product? Sure. But by and large it feels like a commodity play. There might as well be a weed section next to the beer section in the gas station store.
I've never thought that's a very good example of introducing a bug while trying to fix warnings. The warning was correctly pointing out that the code was broken, and the obviously incorrect "fix" merely made it never work instead of sometimes work, but sometimes working really wasn't good enough either.

What a world it would be if Pakistan didn't repeatedly attempt to attack India, try and annex it's territories, be composed of people who wish nothing more than the downfall of the country. The entire concept of Ghazwa-e-Hind is so atrocius that nobody in their right mind in India would ever try and attempt to aid a country whose sole motive is to see it's downfall. Calling the country being led by a Hindu "nationalist" government is a huge reach, if it were there would be a mass exodus of Muslims and regular culling of populice that is not Hindu. That is neither the sentiment nor in actuality. Western media reports are not based on any sort of reality, unlike Pakistan's national sentiment of Ghazwa-e-Hind, which if you Google, has been endorsed and is regularly touted for by millions accross the country, including Indian Muslims.
Does that actually resize the stack in a way that the C runtime will recognize (e.g., add a guard page, making the stack size available to future calls of `pthread_getattr_get_np`)? I guess you'd only resize the stack yourself if your code was planning on somehow keeping track of the stack size, so I suppose it's not too big of a concern, but still.

> I'm sure if the Mayan civilization never collapsed they would be a colonizing force not unlike the Europeans. Appropriating land and labor for use in capital exploitation is not a distinctly European phenomenon.

I fully agree with that and even commented as much recently. My point was not "invading bad" but the types of invasions that happened in Europe historically and subsequent developments and technology sharing laid the ground work for an efficient cultural exchange. There was a well functioning regional economy in mediterrenean rim countries for many centuries. It would be even more shocking if greek and roman authors were unknown to the rest of the regions they traded with.

A good comparison is east asia. Chinese cultural influence and literature from antiquity and before can still be seen in korea, japan, vietnam,etc... before the 20th century the works of pluto or aristotle I'm sure were mostly unknown in asia (even in colonies)and africa. Even in the americas, it is either colonizers who brought that cultural literature or natives that had to be exposed to the material against their will.

The prevalnce of cultural artifacts like literature is caused by military victory and conquest.

In modern timed for example, certain tv shows or movies from the US are universally (almost) known.
If I'm not hallucinating like GPT, I think the etymology of troll as in internet actually stems from trolling as in fishing.

I have a hazy recollection of folks in the early days of 4chan describing 'trolling for idiots' - as in, feigning ignorance to get a rise out of folks. Like, you post a dumb, obviously stupid but infuriating comment and watch people get all worked up about it. You know, for the lulz.

I feel like since then it's changed to just actually being a dumb asshole and enjoying when people are mad at you. Or maybe I've just gotten smarter. In any event at the time it certainly didn't seem like the kind of thing racist lunatics would go out of their way to do. Perhaps more the fool I, as I was a teenager at the time and as such that opinion cannot really be trusted.
>what's the deal with MLS data? That sounds pretty interesting, some kind of protective moat they have in place? What's the backstory there?

It's just extremely valuable, so they won't give it out willy nilly. There's a network effect at work, where it's almost impossible to sell your home without listing with them, so everyone does. And mortgages are just about the most lucrative consumer financial transaction there is, so lots of incentive to keep it on lock.
I completely agree with you - but almost impossible not to think of that immediately upon reading the headline.

Loudly positioning themselves as pro-consumer makes this look more hypocritical than it would have otherwise.

Technology makes it so more labour can be done with fewer humans, which increases competition for limited work, so capital owners can justify paying less for those jobs as long as they can find enough people willing to work for that amount.

You can blame capital owners for being greedy, and you should, but increasing technology is a major tool they are using to feed that greed.

It was a real bond purchase. The money just came from the Bank of England reserves, and the BoE was private at the time (although had very strong links to the Government).

Eg: The episode marked an important step on the Bank’s transformation from private institution to a central bank.. A decade after the Armistice, the altered role of the Bank prompted creation of a Parliamentary commission to examine its functions, ultimately setting it on a path to nationalisation

It's fascinating to me that we have widespread incidence of long-term health complications in people who caught a relatively new, not-deeply-understood virus, and the evidence being (as far as you've seen) circumstantial means that it must be made up, by default. Why exactly is it necessary to prove that these symptoms are COVID-related when that's the most natural conclusion? What is your alternative hypothesis that explains everything and is supported by better evidence?

People with long COVID - even if you believe it's all psychosomatic, or caused by fibromyalgia, or whatever - have had a lot of trouble accessing treatment this whole time. Even if 90% of them were somehow making it up, I think it's awful that the remaining 10% of "real" cases had to deal with so many barriers to access care. All as a part of our societal effort to pretend the virus is over.
One method uses the photo you actually took as the base and enhances from that. The other method used a random old picture of the moon from elsewhere and copypastes details of that onto your photos.

The distinction is significant, as for one of them your photo is the sole source of truth, while for the other it just "inserts" the image from elsewhere into your own photo. The former is expected, but the latter is not.

It's the same as the difference between enhancing a photo of yourself by doing some color/light processing or upscaling/sharpening using AI vs. "enhancing" by getting Brad Pitt's eyes and Angelina Jolie's nose copypasted onto a photo of your own face.
Not exactly what I meant; there is a nonzero chance that an AGI given authority over humanity would run it better. Granted, a flipped coin would run it better but that's kinda the size of it.

People who got covid vs other viruses. When you follow up with them 3 months later, there is no difference in symptoms between the groups. In other words, long covid symptoms are no worse than any other respiratory virus.

So is it covid causing the symptoms, or the pandemic? All signs point to the pandemic, and the response.

Every other long covid study are observational, and are likely confounded. Strongly recommend looking deeper at these studies. Very few have control arms, like this study does.
As others have commented, there is none. This is not for individuals, it is for financial institutions.
Beating gcc/clang/icc is not a trivial task. One can engineer the pair `{benchmark compiler pass}` in such a manner that they show a speedup, but over a benchmark suite say like the SPEC suite, general community consensus is that it is very difficult and their paper doesn't reveal that they've found a secret sauce (sauce := compiler pass).
> That's why the _Peer_ sets the price for his service.

But that breaks the economics of this, no? If you're in the US and charge $6/TB and I'm in Germany and charge $100/TB, why would traffic ever go to my server? If your US server gets overloaded, am I now making $100/TB? How does the network ensure that this is both fair and competitive? Moreover, how can a customer know that they're not going to get a surprise bill for an order of magnitude more than they planned for?

Real time renderers focus on being real time as the most important constraint and therefore make lots of compromises and take a lot of shortcuts.

Offline renderers try to simulate light transport as exactly as possible within a time budget.

For example, one of the best algorithm to create high quality renders of scenes with very complicated light transport problems (something like this: [1]) uses ray-tracing monte-carlo integration techniques. Up until very recently, this was completely out of reach for a real time render.

I'm just curious for the actual UX and platform details.

At least on my iPhone even if an app doesn't ask for confirmation before a purchase, Apple Pay shows a confirmation dialog that requires Touch ID.

Are there mobile flows that don't require a confirmation dialog by the payment service itself (in my case, Apple Pay)?

Or is this mainly about platforms outside of mobile, like PC games where Epic itself has your credit card or something?

Can buyers access the multiple listing service without a realtor?

The short answer is no, they can’t — at least not directly. In order to access the MLS, you need a real estate license, which means it’s not possible for buyers to have direct access to this data on their own. However, they can reap the benefits the MLS has to offer if they start the house buying process off right and partner with a local real estate agent.
