I think the point is that Sam Altman the CEO of OpenAI has been in Japan visiting the prime minister and looking for collaboration opportunities. The Fugaku supercomputer is the flagship public supercomputer in Japan, so it's interesting to see how long it would take it to train GPT-4. According to that article it looks like it's on the order of 10x slower (as opposed to equally fast or like 100x slower).

To me the most interesting thing is that they seem to be revealing (or assuming?) that GPT-4 costs 10x the computer power of GPT-3.5. I'm not sure that was public information before. Maybe it wasn't.

If you've ever seen a car's complete wiring harness you'll know why. It's not only because there's three gazillions of wires - they're also heavily insulated with tape that makes it a nightmare to access those wires in the first place.

It would be nice if these companies could have stood for free speech here, but the rational for censorship is enlightening: they were afraid of retaliation from the government for violating anti-terrorism rules. And the speaker is in fact a terrorist who hijacked a plane, so this is a pretty plausible worry.

They weren’t clear about exactly what high rule would be violated, but then again a lot of these rules can be vague and subject to interpretation.

We may need to redirect our ire toward the government who creates these vague, restrictive rules and regulations instead of the corporations who are forced to tiptoe around them.
Sponges - if you have a decent iron, you should be using a clean, damp-not-wet, sulfur-free, cellulose sponge. This means: buy the type sold for use with a soldering iron, squeeze the water out of it after wetting it, and switch to a fresh one when it gets cruddy. I have never had an issue.

Flux - hobbyists either try to use 50-year-old parts with totally oxidized plating and no flux, or they use too much flux. New parts should not need more flux than you have in your flux-core solder or in your paste.

The next thing that happens after people discover flux is that they want to clean it off, and 99% of the time, hobbyists should not be cleaning flux. If you cannot measure the reason for cleaning your board, leave it alone. The manufacturers will tell you that modern RA and RMA type fluxes do not require cleaning for "most applications" - and "most applications" almost certainly means you.

No-clean flux should be called "never-clean" for the reason you outline. You shouldn't try to clean it, and it will never get as clean as you'd like if you do. I like no-clean for stuff I'm going to show to other people. You will almost certainly use no-clean in production if you go to production.

Water-clean is lovely stuff but it's very unforgiving. It will corrode if not cleaned, and you have to plan to wash your board by using sealed parts or adding water-sensitive parts afterward. You have to be careful with tip temperature too or it will destroy your tips. I have a spool of 63/37 water-clean I've used maybe twice - the boards sparkled but it was just too much trouble.
Does modularity increase size/weight? Increase in warranty fraud? More complexity so higher probability of breakage?
We went all in with Dynamo years back for an app because it was exciting. It went fine so we did it again, and again. Over time though (and in some cases not much time) we quickly realized that we were writing a lot of code to do sanity/safety checks, that was basically just re-implementing relational database features. As we'd hit bugs, we'd add more checking to our app, and eventually we just had a ton of relational DB features at the app level. I've just used postgres ever since.

> It seems like mechanics really don't like digging into the electrical part of the car...

Tell me about it. I'm in a similar boat. My audi a4 has had a parasitic draw for the past 10 years. My mechanic didn't want to take the time to address it because that sort of thing takes a serious amount of time and he's always backed up. I got out my fluke and narrowed the cause to what I believe is the comfort control unit. I can't replace it myself because it's a coded part. My mechanic won't do it because he won't confirm that's the cause.

None of the other mechanics in my area have the equipment. Even the Audi dealership won't touch it because they're backed up too. So, I keep a battery jumper in the glove box and hook the battery up to a tender when I can (outdoor parking).

I don't know what I'm going to do for my next car. Pretty much every car made after 2010 has coded parts and are more computer than mechanical. It does make me tempted to learn the electronics part and open a garage that focuses specifically on fixing electronic issues in modern cars.
Have you any semblance of proof of this?

By the looks of it took Firefox a few years to figure out what the repro was, they reported it to MS, it was (very) promptly fixed and they were warned that the syscall they were using isn't being used as intended and they should consider changes to FF for future use cases.
It shouldn't be controversial that you should be responsible for your own body and health.

Focus your efforts on what you have control over. I am sure I am not the only one that despises have to use Windows and the spyware riddled mess that it has become, but I can't control it, so the only option (at least in the short term) is to focus your efforts on what you can control. Long term, maybe you will eventually be in a position to recommend/implement a switch, but don't let that take up all your time.
There's battery kill switches you can install onto the battery pole to effectively disconnect everything from the battery. This should work for older cars. For newer ones you may experience hiccups like reverse camera not working for a few hours until it has re-paired itself with the head unit.
Really nonsense. It's true it might be more common due to all the additional modules and computers cars have now. If one goes crazy, it might drain your battery. But this is only in case of a failure. Edit: cold weather can accelerate that.

If it's 'weekend only', battery should be no problem. If sometimes you leave it a couple months unused, that might be a problem.

Depending on how ready you would like to be when you're going to use it, or the access you have to your car (is it far away or in your garage?) you could add a connector for a battery charger/maintainer (some of them have accessories for plugs you can leave permanently, see the NOCO GC002 for an example), and/or add a battery switch to easily disconnect the battery.

Warning: your radio might ask for a security code if it loses battery connectivity. Be sure you have it.

There are three main types of insurance in the US: HMO, PPO, and EPO.

HMO works a lot like my understanding of the UK system (except the government doesn't pay for it); if you want to see a specialist, you need to get permission from the insurance provider, either directly, or (more typically) by having your GP (a.k.a "primary care provider) write you a referral.

PPO and EPO do not require referrals. A PPO typically has high deductibles for doctors that are not contracted with the PPO, and an EPO does not provide any coverage for doctors that aare not contracted with it (the P vs E is "preferred" vs "exclusive").

PPOs tend to have the highest premiums. Anecdotally, HMOs used to be a pretty good deal. From my earliest memories of how health-care worked HMOs didn't add too large of a delay. However, more recently it has been harder to get a referral, and once I get the referral, there are so few local places that accept the HMO (perhaps because of below-market rates paid out?) that a 6+ month wait list to see a specialist is not uncommon (some things like physical therapy having such a long wait-list that it's hardly worth it; I was quoted an 8 month wait list for PT for a shoulder injury, at which point I just googled for exercises I could do).

Also twice now I have been hit by the HMO refusing to pay for emergency care because even though the ER I took my kid to was "in-network" one of the doctors who saw the kid at the ER was an independent contractor which isn't covered by the HMO. Over $1k out-of-pocket each time.

The world doesn’t have to decide to go "all in" on anything. It can simply lift all the unnecessary burdens it placed on the nuclear industry and let the free market sort out the best solution, like always.

If nuclear works for the world's subs, it works on land too. It will probably be a mix of energy sources anyway, each with its own strengths and weaknesses and it’s own place in ecosystem.

You can't call an expression whose value is IO-dependent in a compile-time context, obviously.

The tweet seems to imply that if you can call your functions at compile time, they will not present UB at runtime either. I am trying to point out that that is not the case at all.
Reducing maternal mortality would not materially help close the gap between the US and peer countries. Here is data and an argument that show this:

1. Total maternal deaths are 650 to 750 per year in the United States [1].

2. Accidental deaths by all causes total about 80,000 per year for ages 5-44 [2] (here I am eyeballing the Tableau chart by age group).

3. The risk of a 5-year-old dying in their 40s in the US is about 4x that in peer countries like the UK [3].

Putting #2 and #3 together, we would have to reduce yearly US accidental deaths for ages 44 and below by 4x to reach parity with peer countries. We'd have to go from 80,000 deaths per year to 20,000, meaning we'd need to save 60,000 lives per year from accidental death causes such as drug overdoses, vehicle accidents, and homicide.

Bringing the US maternal mortality rate down to the EU rate, while highly desirable, would only save a few hundred lives per year, a fraction of a percent needed to close the gap.

The platform feature in question was normally cheap and just made artificially expensive by Defender intercepting calls to it and blocking until analysis was performed. I don't think it's the FireFox' team's responsibility to be aware of and take into account arbitrary software intercepting system calls.
Well what are you doing is ideally lot many engineers should do. But in my experience devs, IT departments, companies are drunk on Cloud Mezcal. So any effort which need effort is "oops thats not our business lets increase instances in Cloud to improve performance" And I am not making this up, A service we are running on ten datacenter VMs, an equivalent service is running on 150 instances of same size in AWS.

The cloud service is crappy architected, developed Java application but instead of fixing it , solution is to double/triple or 10 times the instance using Kubernetes Autoscaler. One thing they have going is ever larger budget since it is next gen cloud service, whereas my serivce being plain old efficient Java app is legacy to be deprecated and replaced with new cloud version.
I just learned DynamoDB this year, after I was forced into it...not a NoSQL fan.

In any event, while I find the structure and docs pretty confounding overall, they do make that behavior pretty clear. The libraries even separate out scans from queries, with the latter taking only a key.

I'd put the blame on the implementer in this case, not AWS.
making thing obscure and less obvious is anti-intellectual, its getting harder and harder for new developers to gain a footing in software development

> Ammeter across the battery terminals

I know what you're trying to say... but this reads like very dangerous advice and you may want to revise.

Ammeter between a battery's terminal and the car's electrical system.

Also note that you'll probably create sparking when doing this, and if the battery has recently been charging this can be dangerous (hydrogen outgassing).
Skepticism means doubting, not bashing. Doubting is a negative, it undoes. It doesn’t create an alternative— but it helps to create a space for alternatives.
That's probably what the author was thinking in February 2022 when they removed the batteries from their keyfob and only used the metal backup key, only to have the problem resurface less than a year later. It's probably safe to say that without batteries, the fobs were having no effect on the keyless system housed within the car.

First paragraph -- "the default is to subject women to more — not fewer — restrictions" -- fly the flag high and clear. THERE IS AN ATTACK ON WOMEN

Second * third paragraphs -- popular bourgeoisie white buzzwords, indicting Neo-liberal society, blaming marketing (it's the corporations). The entire article could be summed up essentially w/ the 5th paragraph, where it calls out neo-liberalism as putting all of the emphasis on the individual's choices while ignoring broader impacts. That a culture has sprung up around that doesn't require 6+ more paragraphs.

Furthermore, how much of this is just population and economic dynamics? Yeah Moms c. 1960 didn't have to do all of those things listed at the end -- because there weren't 8 billion people trying to buy up all of the houses and fight for the scraps that billionaires haven't taken.

What a weird take. If this bug was engineered as an attack on Firefox, then it seems like the project has been infiltrated by bad actors, because the bug comes from Firefox's codebase. Indeed, the developers themselves contradict your comment in the linked bug conversation:

> This problem has two sides: Microsoft was doing a lot of useless computations upon each event; and we are generating a lot of events. The combination is explosive. Now that Microsoft has done their part of the job (comment 82), we need to reduce our dependency to VirtualProtect.

(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1441918#c90)

Compare how many calls other browsers make (this is also quoted in the link): Firefox was generating up to 46 times more (costly) events than Chrome. It is a bit ludicrous to shame Microsoft for the whole situation.

> Firefox with normal configuration: ~14000 events, 98% of which are PROTECTVM_LOCAL;

> Firefox with the preferences from comment 83: ~6500 events, 95% of which are PROTECTVM_LOCAL;

> Edge: ~2000 events, 91% of which are ALLOCVM_LOCAL;

> Chrome: ~300 events.

It's a nice idea but keep in mind that any freight which gets displaced from rail thanks to passenger cars would have to go by truck instead, probably with a massive increase in net emissions.

Dynamo is almost never something you want to use as a "solution" to an open-ended I-don't-quite-know-my-requirements type of problem (which is almost all holistic problems).

One could argue that paying a lot of tax could be considered as wealth as you typically get something in return. It can be in different forms: better infrastructure, or a safety net / insurance from the government when something bad happen.

I feel a kind of duality when I look at the US from outside. People seems to be trying at all costs to avoid taxes but if someone get seriously hurt or have a serious disease one of the immediate response is to start a gofundme and ask to pass the word for charity and a lot of people are happy to donate. On one hand it is kind of touching to see that people are willing to donate for someone they sometimes barely know, on the other hand shouldn't everybody seek a society where everybody is happy to donate but nobody has to ask for charity from his community because gov takes care of that through that tax money.

I don't know if I am alone, maybe people will make fun of me for that but I am kind of proud of paying a lot of taxes. I know governments don't always take the best decisions, some money is sometimes plainly stolen or badly used and I may not agree with all decisions but I feel it is part of being a citizen and it makes me also more responsible and eager to vote and try to make a difference when I can.
