It's actually pretty hard to dig into it unless you're a member of the community, and even then.

There is financial fraud at the top. It's really easy to skim off the $25B. I'm not too worried about that.

What worries me more is widespread research fraud. Hiring rewards high-impact research, and not high-integrity research. I do have visibility into a lot of research in the Institute, and about half of the high-profile results I see come out have had some level of fraud that I know about (at least as a typical person would define it), and I suspect far more that I don't know about.

Note that I chose my words carefully there. The caveats:

(1) Many things, if done carefully, aren't fraud in the prosecutable sense, but lead to bad science.

(2) Most results are low-profile results. I define "high-profile" as roughly the level to either make major press or to get a tenure-track job.

I had a position which gave me a lot of visibility into this stuff. I can talk about this in online forums, but in real life, I'm under legal agreements with the Institute which would make this kind of conversation impossible.

One of the first things which would need to happen for me to trust MIT research at all is the elimination of NDA / non-disparage gag agreements.

In my outspoken opinion you’re onto something. Regular FDIC insurance should kick in. Every aaccount gets their 250k, and rest will take years to figure out with lawyers scrambling to stake claims of the carcass. Enhanced unemployment for the non executive level employees of companies effected by the failure. Highly compensated employees that don’t budget might suffer, good. Executives, investors, etc should all take a bath from this. They should be made whole on the backend if they didn’t have insurance and well managed risk. There should also be a lot of high profile and HNWI people thrown in prison for their gross negligence. Hopefully the regulators can secure the evidence they need for convictions without their investigations getting compromised by any manner of the typical shenanigans.
Wow amazing write up, start a consultancy and start charging to audit the privacy of apps, imagine getting paid to do this on every App Store update of Tik Tok and the like for agencies or companies auditing their apps, etc.

You are really talented, now get paid for it or open source some automated tools for getting the trail to see behind the curtain for these apps that force you to enable permissions to use them.
Long Covid has had a brutal effect on the workforce, study finds
I haven't seen the second Avatar film at all; my observations are merely from seeing the first one in 3D and the trailers for the second. I'm aware that it's shot entirely 3D as well. While I was wowed at the 3D effect when I saw the first one, the thrill of that entirely wore off within a week or two and is not a big enough draw for me to see the second. I don't think I'm in the minority here, 3D was huge in cinemas for a year or so after the first Avatar film and then interest from the general public waned as well, probably in part due to subsequent 3D films using the post-production method and I agree the effect is not as good.

3D (including "real 3D") just doesn't seem to be the drawcard though that the geek community seems to think it is - I think the public in general would prefer better story, CG that serves the film and the story etc. And that is why I probably won't see the second - the story is not strong or interesting enough for me, and even the "wow" full 3D effect is not strong enough to pull me back, given the uncanny valley effect of the characters and the lacklustre story.

Disclaimer: I work at Zed!

This wasn't our intended behavior for this.

A team member just dug into our implementation of LSHandlerRank and it looks like we are using "Default". Apple's definition of the "Default" rank is this: "This app is an opener of files of this type; this value is also used if no rank is specified".

From our team member's investigation it looks like VSCode doesn't set any LSHandlerRank (which in theory from the definition above should be the same rank, but from your experience that doesn't seem correct.) Sublime uses uses "Alternate" as it's LSHandlerRank, which its definition is "this app is a secondary viewer of files of this type".

We will audit what other editors set and discuss if it makes sense to change the rank we are using.

Thanks for pointing this out.
I did not make that error. Read the links:

And...

https://www.olcf.ornl.gov/frontier/

> Multiple Slingshot NICs providing 100 GB/s network bandwidth. Slingshot network which provides adaptive routing, congestion management and quality of service.

That's not "little-b bits", that's big-B Bytes.

> Typically supercomputers don't have RAM or busses that are more than 2X faster than conventional machines because it's not economic.

These are top-end GPUs equipped with the latest-and-greatest HBM RAM, with 2TBytes/sec RAM bandwidth or more. They put the super in "supercomputer".

When you have 1TByte to 2TBytes of RAM bandwidth, you need 400GByte+ network connections to keep up with them.
So much dev time goes up in smoke because of pedantic and overzealous linters, formatters, etc. in PR checks and CI pipelines.

Your whole PR gets held up because of a style nit like an unused import or trailing whitespace. That forces you to pull up the PR in Github, dig into the CI failure, check out your branch again, make the fix, commit, push, and wait for CI all over again. If your PR was previously approved, then you have to bug the reviewer to re-approve since the review gets dismissed when you push new commits.

I know this isn't exactly what this article was talking about, but it's such a big frustration to me. I'm all for leaving warnings like this on and cleaning them up over time, but yeah I strongly believe that turning all lints and checks and warnings all the way up and then gating PRs behind them is a recipe for huge developer frustration and loss of velocity.

Well, it's possible to detect patterns and characteristics in the language used in the comments that can provide clues about their origin...

Here's some indicators that a comment may have been generated by an AI system:

* Repeating phrases or sentences
* Using generic language that could apply to any topic
* Lack of coherence or logical flow
* Poor grammar, or syntax errors
* Overuse of technical, or specialized vocabulary

I mean, these indicators aren't foolproof... and humans can also exhibit some of these characteristics. It's tough to be sure whether or not a comment is generated by an AI system or not...

Isn't there a secondary market for the shares?

Also, if/when a company has too many shareholders it has to release it's financials to the public, and at that point it might as well be public. Facebook faced this issue in 2012, although not sure if the law has changed since then.
I'd argue a database is possibly as far from an AI as you get. Indexing and data structures and storage systems that go into them are very deterministic data structures you can model out and roughly know the behaviour of before writing a single line of code. Image classifiers and Chatbots you don't know what you're getting out till you train it and deploy it.

It’s not potentially UB until you access the object through the wrong pointer type; pointer math isn’t type punning.

In this case it should be accessed through one of the load intrinsics, which has its behavior defined in the same way memcpy doesn’t invoke UB.

This is actually my annoyance with monadic error handling. When I'm writing a little command line utility, I don't really want to explicitly handle every edge case. Just let the damn program crash and shame on me.
I think you're confusing RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) and ISOs (Incentive Stock Options). Stripe employees were given ISOs. ISOs expire worthless if not exercised. And if Stripe employees chose to exercise their options, they were not allowed to sell the shares they received. So they would get a large tax bill on a paper gain, but not receive any cash to pay the IRS.

I use -Weverything and turn off two warnings by pragma, which are -Wpadded, the one that generated your last warning, and -Wc++98-compat because I use `alignof()`.

The pragmas may not be portable, but that doesn't matter in this specific case. I surround them with the equivalent of:

#ifdef __clang__
#pragma clang ...
#endif // __clang__

It works fine.

Also, I like the style where declarations come first, so I leave that warning on. It's actually useful to me. (Probably not to anyone else, though.)
Sadly no, but they were going downhill before the pandemic. Where is your community located? I’m in Dallas, TX and used to really enjoy the meetup scene, but they take a ton of dedication to keep going.

As I’ve gotten more experienced in my career, I’ve wanted a new type of meetup that appeals to more than just software.
I have heard of 'second market', but how would one go about doing this? Do they create private contracts and such for a non-yet-listed company?
I must admit that I didn't have a need for such facility yet, wasn't familiar with it, but now curious since when it was available. According to [1] it was implemented already in 2.6.38. It was discussed back in 2006 [2]. So, yeah, no need to wait for a kernel update ;-}

Really?

There are jurisdictions where executives responsible for this sort of failure would be shot and have their assets confiscated.

Neither is likely in this instance.
Sort of. The value of companies is (meme stock speculation notwithstanding) the net present value of their future cash flows; for startups that tends to be far into the future cash flows. It's only natural that the price drops when interest rates go up.
Speaking of buttons, you should check out the Harlan Ellison story, or its distant relation: The Box. It's about people who would make some ... distinctly different choices than you.

What feudal tax? The SaaS system that provides servicing and support for the point of sales system, merchant accounts, online ordering, designs web pages, and optional apps, optional hardware for pagers when someone’s table is ready or a text messaging notification system?

Or are you referring to the app in the Apple Store that optionally supports Apple Pay (not in app purchasing) where the merchant is charged the standard credit card processing fee - $0.25 + 2-3% of the price?

Would it be better if the person running the restaurant had to do all that themselves?

I wonder why the recording is not up...
In my experience, the people who develop static analysis tools and add warnings to compilers are aware of the problems. They know that turning on all warnings is the path of insanity.

It’s a knob that you turn. You get useful information as you start to raise the warning level, but as you increase it higher and higher, you start to spend more and more time managing and silencing warnings at specific locations in your code, or dithering about how to handle some particular warning that does not (or even can not) manifest as actual incorrect program behavior.

I’m the first person to enable Wall Wextra and a few others, and I even turn on Werror religiously during development. But there are some super noisy warnings around. Static analysis tools are wonderful but they usually contain rules that are unreasonably picky, for most people most of the time. Usually these rules are off by default.

Fundamentally yes.

Big Studios are CPU Farms. Small Studios and Indie Artists like myself a Lot of us have moved to GPU.
Capabilities aside, if you're reproducible and source-based, you're gonna survive binary artifact repository outages a lot better than if you're not.

If there were a comparable culling of the Nixpkgs binary cache, pipelines relying on Nix for their packages would be affected in a much less invasive way: they'd see Nix silently fall back to upstream sources, and reproducibly build from source, wherever the caches binary artifacts became unavailable.
If you have that issue, it's a solvable problem. Most companies simply don't and can only dream about that. Why pay until you actually get there?
Hackers routinely create tools that make themselves 10× more capable and spin up thousands of copies. Have you heard of port scanners, fuzzers, and botnets? AI is nothing special in this domain, just another tool in the toolbox. It changes nothing from a security standpoint.
>I’d rather just pay once for games, though that seems to be on its way out.

Unfortunately the only way to fight that is to not pay for anything else, but companies also know that's where the money's at.

I paid $40 for Overwatch. ActiBlizzard replaced what I paid for with F2P "Overwatch 2" and added "battle passes" and overpriced skins, and they seem to be going that way permanently now.

That is, I don't have access to Overwatch, the product I paid full price for, anymore. And the PvE content they marketed Overwatch 2 as still hasn't materialized either.

He's good to very good when talking about performance and simd tricks but I don't know if he's particularly sage when it comes to general programming practice.

In this case I think he's probably wrong about compiler warnings but basically right about a lot of static analysers.

> a good conjecture is that n is the length of arr

As an old osdev currently enjoying using rust instead, I would say I wish.

N might be the length of arr. it might also correspond to the number of elements of (implicit) type t that would fit in the unsigned char array arr. It might be the length of the array minus space for a trailing char (either minus one or minus sizeof(char) bytes). Or it could be the size plus one, because why not.

I checked with them and they said they only do full rack colo and perhaps you are going through a reseller. Is that the case and if so can you provide details? I'm interested.
This is not a clear-cut "hindsight is 20/20" case — what you are proposing is merely a hazy probability and not a "they could have done this to print money—it's equally likely if they IPO'ed that a downward trend and less value could have been the result.

Road markings are often written in the bottom-to-top order that you drive over them, rather than in top-to-bottom order that English text is typically read.

https://external-preview.redd.it/_3aW7Flq4ATeZSTqkEnbU0PHOYU...

Therefore you'll typically see "XING PED" or even "XING PED NO" which are both intended to be read in reverse, as the driver drives.

Text that's written left-to-right and then right-to-left and then left-to-right again is named, in Greek, "boustophedron" after how the ox plows. I wonder what bottom-to-top road writing is called in the jargon lingo?
Have you tried getting someone from nothing to setup to use all this independently?

A lot of this is a symptom of CIs being deliberately dumb to avoid being wrong, and our workflows being shit. Fuck the CI, the velocity is quite bad just from the programmers machine.

One small thing that arcanist (random example) does that raw git does not is making it very "automatic" to make a really simple change to some code. Even theoretically very trivial things like guessing which files you meant to add to the commit can be a real time saver.

In fact, contrary to what I just wrote, it's not even entirely about time - a lot of this is really about mental context switching.

Can you elaborate on what's not good about eevee/cycles shaders? By proper integration do you imagine it will use Blender's node shader system or a different system?

I agree that a lot of tech solutions are extractive, but a huge amounts of comments on this thread are about the people who are stuck waiting for court dates and who end up stuck in the system because of how slow it is and I think there are ways technology solutions can be used to help speed up the judicial system. No question it also needs politicians (although, I am not sure most voters care about this and might even be more likely to say who cares, lock them up and throw away the key) who are willing to work on real solutions.
