>Intel has been working on graphics for over twenty-five years

Yeah but integrated graphics and dedicated desktop/server class GPUs for graphics, multimedia and general compute are two completely different beasts in terms of HW and SW.

Qualcomm, ARM, Imagination also have been making GPU IPs since forever, but I doubt any of them can jump in the ring with Nvidia and AMD. Do you think they wouldn't like a piece of that lucrative market share? But they know that dislodging the Nvidia-AMD duopoly so late in the game is an exercise in futility.

Sure, but three is a far cry from 50-150, which would almost certainly be reported as a rearrangement or some other sort of structural variation, and would be detected with an entirely different method than SNPs.

Alternately, they're talking about their sequencing reads and calling them SNPs.

> Does "scholarship and history" mean "the Howard Zinn view of history?" Yeah, I can understand why some people would be sad that that's not taught in Texas and everywhere. Although as far as I can tell, it IS taught in many blue counties.

"That POV", from that sentence, referred to a POV about the nature of the news media informed by the scholarship and history of the field of media studies, not, like, world history. I was noting that perhaps some of the sentiment that we're in some exceptionally-bad media environment, now, is because some folks have recently realized that the media effectively all have some kind of bias and often lie or fail to be skeptical of things Important People tell them, but lack the context to realize that's not a new thing, so may decide it's some new development (beginning, curiously, roughly the time they realized it was a problem). That is, as I wrote, they've come to some of the same conclusions as one might from reading works in media studies, but, because they've come at it via a "shitty, partial, divorced-from-scholarship-and-history" road hyper-focused on recent events (and, ahem, who made them aware of it in the first place? Ahem) it looks to them like it's something that just started.

My observations about the quality of high school history and civics instruction were separate, and no, I don't think they ought to teach Zinn.

I believe this was a joke. Papers compare trained models to "ground truth" to determine accuracy. Ground truth refers simply to the correct answers, but, the way it's used grammatically, you can interpret it as another model called "ground truth" which has a 100% accuracy at all tasks.

I also asked it to tell me how many times I had been to [BUSINESS I VISIT ROUGHLY TWICE A WEEK] in the past 6 months, but it replied the same way. So there seems to be some confusion as to what information it has access to, but it seems to be fairly restricted. Which is actually a bit of a shame (setting aside all the privacy/etc. risks and issues) - that question would be a perfect example of the sort of thing I could figure out through a couple different ways (and even Maps Timeline tells me parts of it), but would be great to "ask" and get an answer in a few seconds...
Sure, in this case Conservancy aren't a party to the GPL contract, but as a recipient of GPLed binary code from Vizio they are a third-party beneficiary of the contract between Vizio and copyright holders.

Actually Conservancy also are representatives of copyright holders in Linux and other software used on Vizio devices. So if they lose the third-party beneficiary suit, there will be a copyright angle they can pursue as well.

GPL lawsuits aren't about hardware repair, they are about software repair and the rights given to end-users by the GPL license/contract. You don't need source code to replace broken components on a tractor, you need repairer/vendor software that performs pairing of DRM-locked parts.

It's really not that "difficult" to come out with a competitive GPU.

However, it is really expensive. Even worse, from Intel's point of view, that enormous expense is almost all in software--which must be maintained for an extended amount of time and looks like a pure expense that will never be recouped.

Even AMD is struggling with this.

If Intel wanted to win this space, they needed to embed a bunch of staff in every major gaming company to make sure their engine runs well on the card.

If Intel really wanted to displace Nvidia, they needed to completely open the specs and fund every single academic ML/AI/Graphic research team for the next 10 years if they used Intel cards.
As an accelerationist, I can see an upside. Human culture has been in decline for decades, with mainstream art (of all kinds) rapidly declining in creativity and value. There are always exceptions, but I think this was and is the trend.

This AI trend will turn our attention back to what it truly means to be an artist. From the muddy waters of AI art will shine the true works of art that only humans are capable of producing. This will raise the barrier to entry and increase true arts value. This imo will be a good thing.
I would be more concerned if we don't get to the point of decent local models for every task, because of the power these companies would have

You lost me at avoid formal typing and lodash.

At least to me, Lodash is absolutely necessary even in new projects — such a wealth of functionality and most of it isn’t available OOB in the standard library. It’s easily tree shakable as well.

As for formal typing, TypeScript was a boon for my productivity. Curious about any examples of use where it’s been inadequate?

Written like this, it doesn't make sense since a SNP has a length of 1. However, you need longer DNA fragments to be able to correctly determine the SNP, and old DNA tends to be fragmented. They are likely referring to those fragment lenghts.

The idea has something - and I'm surprised how fast visually scanning for the pattern actually is (once you got the principle).

However, the visual appearance of it right now is daunting. Keep in mind, people are already overwhelmed by a map with hexagons [1] - I think the chances are slim they will want to engage with a complicated grid full of cryptic letters and symbols (unless they already work in IT or public administration).

I think at the very least, you'd have to style it in a way that makes clear that the graphic as a whole is a visual indicator - and that you don't have to make sense of each individual symbol or letter.

I'm just wildly guessing here, but I'd get rid of the letters and only use shapes or symbols to prevent confusion with footnotes. Also you could give the entire thing a recognizable shape, e.g. use concentric circles with segments instead of a grid.

A graphical designer would probably have better ideas how to approach this.

The biggest problem I see is that the way bloom filters work doesn't match the intuition of how to use this signage and misuse could easily lead to confusion and disappointment:

If I'm a traveler scanning for my fingerprint, I'd expect that if I found the fingerprint on some bus or platform then I could trust that this is the way to my destination. However, that's not what bloom filters do: They only guarantee that if you don't see the fingerprint, then that way definitely won't lead to your destination - but they can easily produce false positives, where your fingerprint is present in the signage, but the bus will still be the wrong one.

So imagine you're some traveller, already stressed out and trying to understand an unfamiliar system. You've actually wrapped your head around the system and have finally found your fingerprint - on a bus, which is about to depart, so you jump on it in the last minute with no time to double-check the destinations. You're glad you made it, until you realize that it's in fact the wrong bus, even though the fingerprint said it was the "right" bus. You have never studied CS and have no idea what a bloom filter is, so you're just confused and angry that someone must have put up the wrong sign - and probably not inclined to use the system again for the remainder of the trip.

Edit: Overlooked that you already mentioned the 0.5% false positive rate. I'd agree with the other posters though, that probably no false positives are acceptable here.

Eh, someone just suggested that a bound of this form might break some cryptographic assumptions for finite fields of (large) prime order. (This is not obvious to me, but it's a point that I think is worth considering, and already would show that such a result is useful.)

It's very hard to know how these things end up being useful. Even if a specific piece of knowledge isn't useful by itself, it can lead to things that are useful down the line. It's both very hard to know which ones will be, or which ones do lead to actually useful results; for example, think of work on propositional logic which ends up being the bedrock of computation, work on elliptic curves (cryptography), work on PDEs (physics), quantum physics (transistors), photonics (communications), etc.

Some fields have pretty "fast-to-application" times, but it's not always clear which ones will _not_ yield useful results. Plus, and here's the real, honest answer: all of this shit is very fun! Why not do it?

I'm also a (somewhat) practical person, and that guides many of the problems I try to solve, but sometimes there's just such a tantalizing puzzle that it's hard not to resist! It's pretty damn hard to "only" work on "useful" stuff and not be just an ok academic/programmer/etc., you have to let yourself get nerd-sniped into doing random things. With very high probability, these little "side-quests" end up being very useful down the line, for one reason or another.
This is one of the rare times where I come to a comment section out of having read the article before.

Sure the platform moderation problem always will stir a censorship / FoS discussion.

But the article lists forms of abuse (e.g. detailed death threats) that are or definitely should not be legal in my view.

This might be a subjective observation, but all in all Twitter has become an even more hateful and extremely unpleasant place on the internet since Musk took over.
Dangerous I'd say even.

Even after reading one interesting thread (without a login), I quickly get suggested plain hate speech or far-right content. This extends to Musk himself, as the article already explains.

Another thing are conspiracy memes designed to stir up hate, which Musk also happily shares.

I don't even need any more screenshots or examples for this, every brief Twitter experience that I have from time to time seems to confirm to me how it's rapidly gotten even worse than before.

I love the new dotnet ecosystem and use it professionally but am I the only one who thinks two years isn’t long enough for a “long term support” release?

Obviously you’ll be able to run older versions of the framework so long as the underlying OS supports it but depending what type of environment you’re in this means you’re likely going to have to update perfectly working applications every two years.

Do I think that it will take a massive amount of work to update from dotnet 6 to 8, or 8 to 10 in a few years? Probably not, but that could change at any time depending on the whims of Microsoft on that particular day.

I get that the current technical zeitgeist is that if you’re not releasing a new version every other day you’re falling behind but five years seems a bit more reasonable to me.
In the same way that a car is faster if you make it lighter by removing parts that aren't technically needed to drive down the road :) Airbags, ABS, Crossmembers? Meh.
I think the API change came after the tool was written, but not by long (it's hard to be sure, since Markup is closed-source).
This is a good question and the move would probably precipitate a move towards an agnostic model and away from a mobile platform centric model. Let’s hope you receive a favourable answer
Whoever/whatever owns the copyright to the underlying work(s) would need to sue to get the ball rolling. Current statutory law doesn't directly address copyright ownership with respect to the kinds of collaboration we see in open source, but if there's a "main author" for the code base you would just need them in most cases.
EF Core when it first came out was pretty rough but they have been adding a ton, especially in .NET 7 and coming up with 8: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/what-is-new/ef-cor... Most of the pain points for me are solved now. Like someone else mentioned, Dapper can fill the gaps.

Don't most authors have at least some free content? The only substack where I've regularly encountered locked content on is Emily Oster (who writes about parenting issues). I read on substack a dozen or two times weekly, and I've never found the paywalls to be an issue. Would it be nice to have subscriptions to five or 10 newsletters? Sure. But it would hardly change my life, since most news is available from many outlets, even if you're looking for a particular perspective.

Pre-pandemic I was considering getting this[0] gateleg table from IKEA, it was $199.

I passed on it, then the pandemic hit.

In 2021 I decided I wanted to get the table and it was permanently out of stock because Pandemic, but still $199 on the site.

Because of its unavailability I ended up polling the site periodically, noting the price. Consequently this object became one of my reference points for pricing throughout the pandemic. As the price steadily rose, friends I'd mention it to would call out the lumber industry problems as why it's going up.

Well, as far as I can tell we're well past those lumber issues, and the price has only gone up further since...

10/2021: $199
11/2021: $229
4/2022: $259
6/2022: $279
