> What Apple is doing is inflexible and expensive.

High bandwidth, High capacity, and cheap ... pick 2.

If you need memory bandwidth for more then 64GB Apple is unmatched at anywhere close to the price. Apple has a unique combination of GPU like memory bandwidth, without the GPU like memory limits.

> You could add a $1000 discrete GPU to that and have money left over.

Yes, but you'd also have 1/8th the CPU memory bandwidth and a max GPU ram of 16-20GB.

> [ proposed hybrid HBM + dram]

Possible, but it's a large complex solution that will significantly increase hardware + development costs for a niche market, even if you leave the dimms empty. Trick is will the HBM actually improve performance? Say you have a 128GB LLM, how much will adding 16GB of HBM improve performance? If the fast memory (HBM) is 16GB it's going to be very tempting to just use a GPU.

> 128GB of RAM, it isn't available

M1 studio ultra has a 128GB config for $4,800. It hasn't been refreshed for the M2 yet, but the gen2 is 24GB (m2), 48GB (pro), and 96gb (max). Stands to reason the m2 ultra will have twice the ram of the m2 max, just like the m1 ultra allows double the m1 max. So likely 192GB real soon. Rumors claim a release at WWDC in June, recent OS updates mention 3 new desktop models.

800GB/sec to 192GB ram is quite unique in today's market. There are some similar solutions like the Arm base A64FX which has multiple stacks of HBM memory, but a max ram of 32GB. As you might imagine they aren't cheap either.
To further put this in perspective (2007-2021 data from the source above).

Gas absorbed about 60 percent, while renewables absorbed about 40. The numbers are in billion kilowatthours. Coal usage was reduced by 1117, in the same time period gas went up with 678 and renewables went up with 473.

Really depends on your metrics. Very little of it builds long-term trust that didn't already exist. Much of it abuses long-term trust.

I have to disagree that hyper-focusing on race and carving out "safe spaces", that allow different racial groups to gather exclusively, and teaching kids that people with their same skin color did bad things that are still not fixed - implying that they should carry the sins of the father - is at all a better state of racial understanding.

I just don't see bridge building taking place in the current approaches.

Just getting a piece of infrastructure that can lock onto the probe's telemetry signals is incredibly difficult.
I don't think I entirely agree with the premise here. Yes, it is extremely difficult to engineer performance in after the fact; but assuming you've got an architecture that's basically fit for purpose (from the performance perspective), then improving by targeting hotspots is sound, isn't it? That's literally Amdahl's law.
Cultural issues aside, electric trucks have poor towing range, cost more and are inconvenient and slow to charge assuming you can even find a charger in rural areas. All this gets worse in cold weather which the Midwest has a lot of in winter.

The plastic on cheap farm cable like this is not going to be air tight, almost certainly isn't water vapor tight, and probably isn't even 'rust tight', in that I've seen rust migrate through plastic coated steel fencing and accumulate on the outside. I wouldn't count on it for anything other than making the rust slightly less obvious.
OS class. Nobody seems to care about OS fundamentals anymore, and whatever software you end up working with you most likely interacting with some form of an OS.

Compiler class: Same as above, but it also gave me that 'fearless' mindset when working with new problems/codebases.

Probability/stochastic processes. This is definitely the most useful one. Stochastics is just everywhere, and addressing risk is something we all do all the time.

differential equations / scientific computing class. I think DE are an under-appreciated gem, and almost everything is modelled with differential equations. It's literally how we describe the world.

HPC: Made me throw many of my texts from adv. algorithm classes into the dumpster. Just measuring actual code performance made me realise that std::vector / linear structures is very hard to beat, and most of time its about knowing your problem and hardware and not about being fancy.

Computer-Graphics/Rendering: This class actually taught mere more about programming and algorithms than those two classes combined.
Computer-Graphics is one of those rare subjects where you need all the tricks.
It is possible to be free in a society that restricts some personal freedoms. The libertarian extremist model that you're suggesting doesn't resemble a society at all, and it's mostly a testament to why we can't provide total personal or market freedom.

Yeah, you’re not getting what people are saying. AWS’s AZs are much more separated than GCPs. Your recommendation that one could build across regions isn’t what folks are talking about here since there is a big benefit to having geographically separate AZs in the same region. That’s where GCP is falling short here.

I would think "come into the office and Zoom" would fly like a lead balloon. Especially if the commute is longer than a 15 minute walk. But then, this is about control and real estate prices rather than actual work. Yeah, there are activities that must be done F2F, but for everything that doesn't require a whole lot of F2F, it should be done remotely. Or, they can just STFU about the environment and any impact their operations or their worker's commute will have.
What I was saying above is that the 'core' of a google DC has a massive amount of network interconnect and needs for battery backup not very different from a big IX point or traditional "primary CO" for a city in a telco environment.

By square footage maybe 95% of a google DC might have no UPS or battery backup but the core network for things like routers and DWDM transport equipment absolutely will have such.

If they were unlucky enough that the burst cooling loop met with the battery plant for the core gear in a building or small campus of buildings....
Maybe, if there is some specific protein that you want the lungs to build that they are not already doing (or not in the quantity needed). But mostly this is going to help out for genetic diseases where it is either a protein that needs to be encourages or suppressed in the cells.
> This comparison makes no sense. Situation where electron could be used are exactly the kind of situations where a wasm bundle would not be shipped (a native binary would be shipped instead)

Sure; but given the insane size of shipping chrome, it’s fun seeing a full app complete with widget library, layout engine and text input elements in 5mb. It’s terrible to make websites that big. But if chrome could do all that stuff in only a 5mb binary then I’d be much happier with electron.

If you didn’t catch it, the wasm bundle is running in a 32mb memory slab. Positively slim by the standards of modern gui apps!

I agree with him that worrying about it is not going to help but I think the issue is more about the way most wake up, most interrupt their sleep with an alarm. Threw away my alarm clock 20 odd years ago when I finished highschool and started going to sleep 10 to 12 hours before I had to be anywhere. I wake up when I wake up and I don't even have a way to check the time in my bedroom beyond the light coming in the window, doesn't matter when I wake up since even if I sleep long I will still have the needed time to get ready for the day. Generally do all my chores, some reading, cook breakfast/food for the day/week, and get most of my errands done in the mornings before work which is quite nice since when I get done with work my time is truly free to do with as I please.

At this point in life I sleep ~7 hours a night or wake up ~3 hours before I have be anywhere in the case of getting to bed late.

>the prejudice of the race appears to be stronger in the States which have abolished slavery, than in those where it still exists;

Honestly I disagree with the statement, prejudice is still going strong in the south. The civil war did not end slavery. Slavery kept going on until WWII in the US when it became a little too embarrassing for us when the Axis countries where pointing that out.

The soundtrack to that game really stuck with me, as it was installed on the eMacs in our classroom so we played it during indoor recess. Since the addons page is long gone, I threw the soundtrack up on the internet archive.[1] Ben Spees, who did the Soundtrack went on to found the math rock band Mercury Tree.[2]

Are all rent seeking bad by essence ?

For art, I see it more as a way for the artist to focus on his art, and allowing to sell (even cheap) his art, and still be rewarded (e.g. 5%) each time his art changes hand if it does hold value.

It does not have to be in perpetuity as explained in the article, it can stop after the death of the artist or 50 years (to prevent incentive to kill artists).

You do not have to stop at paintings. Some NFTs implement royalties too. It would be more difficult though to implement on fungible items (cars, etc.) but some chairs are unique piece of arts and could probably benefit from the Droit de Suite.
Certainly now that history can be rewritten literally in an instant by something like chatgpt means that we are indeed no longer going to know what happened in the past. Granted we haven't ever really known with much certainty, but now complete rewrites are a keypress away.
That is an extremely good point.

The next generation of automotive telemetry will probably use eSIM just like the latest cell phones. There won't be a physical SIM card to remove.
There is a massive difference between ranking stuff based on relevance and not getting RT articles when... searching for RT. (They rolled back the block pretty quickly, so they seem to agree with that too)

You are basically arguing for a slippery slope argument. Because they already need some editorial control to filter spam and obviously irrelevant material does not mean that every type of filtering/block listing is ok.

I personally totally get how it can be offputting to people if a search engine starts hiding websites while openly saying that they do it for a political reason. Downranking would be fine, but blocking a news source (as bad as RT is at being that) that isn't spammy or playing with SEO is just different.

Yes, I know, everything is political and all. But that's the point! Blocking RT was obviously more so about politics than filtering fake news or trash results.

I would say it's more about accessibility of the store and what you can do with the device. There's not many games you can play on the Apple Watch, not many TV channel apps to download, I expect it's more to do with that than users of the device. They may well have sold more Apple Watches, but the Apple TV has sold less and there's more TV App Store users. This is totally over the top, but just as an example, what if 1% of Apple Watch users use the Watch App Store and 75% of Apple TV users use the Apple TV App Store.

Syntax discussions are hardly ever productive but the `vec4<f32>` syntax is truly awful in shaders. HLSL solved this ages ago with `float4`, `int4`. And even GLSL which uses `vec4` to mean float makes sense given you are almost always dealing with floats in shaders.

That's just a textbook appeal to emotion.

Most of their calls are mundane stuff. And they leave a pretty decently wide path of destruction in doing that. We're talking like mundane situations where there is no urgency and no need to tear shit up in the interest of time.

I once arrived to a minor rollover after the cops but before fire. Nobody injured. Occupant trapped because she was a large lady and couldn't release her seatbelt upside down and was having difficulty unlocking the car because side curtain airbags.

I offered to flip the car and treat it like a lockout. "Customer" was fine with it. Cop was iffy. FD showed up, didn't want to hear it, broke the window, unlocked the car, opened the door, cut her belt rather than release it and dropped her on her face and then had difficulty getting her out. Now I get that they have "procedures" but this seems like a forest for the trees situation.

Or they'll show up, shut down two lanes for a minor fire on the shoulder and not move the trucks until the car is loaded on a tow truck and gone. Supposedly it's to keep them safe from being hit by traffic. Meanwhile here I am not blocking traffic to recover shit that broke down.

Sure, they'll save a life if the situation presents itself but they sure don't care about being tidy about it.
Yeah the answer in the page is a total meme. Kind of disappointing, since I like Datomic a piece of tech. :(
> Unless you are really special (loyal and big spender), you won't get any special treatment.

Lifetime Platinum Marriott member here.

The special treatment is OK. It is nice to get room upgrades and freebies, but that's little stuff. It doesn't get you a room magically when they are sold out, and you don't magically get a better rate when prices are high.

The biggest benefit if you're traveling a lot is your points accrual rate is higher with status, which lets you more rapidly exchange points for things. The only sane way to spend points of course, is more hotel stays. Nothing else comes close value-wise. I recall running the numbers on that (points/dollar ratio), and you'd be a brazen fool to spend points on merchandise - when you compare the ratio of hotel stays to merchandise point cost, you realize that they have a 3-4x markup on the merchandise.
I don't think those generally show up in reports, and this would be virtually impossible if you use a reputable background checking company.

Every "hit" shows on your copy of the record, and you should be able to challenge it.

Hmm? All browsers, and curl, support Negotiate. There's support in many HTTP libraries for various languages as well. It's not universal though, that's for sure. At $WORK we have a [proprietary] client-side proxy to do Negotiate for apps that don't.
If you're making software for actual end-users, your point has merit. If you are creating a library for programmers to import into their own projects, nope, sorry, RTFM (at least the first part of it) or get lost.
> Meanwhile, grid-scale batteries are the fastest growing electricity provider on the grid because it turns out that they are cheaper to run than natural gas peakers.

Only for the very short term firming today, i.e. for frequency regulation. For days-weeks storage you need much lower cost/kWh of storage. There are contender technologies but nothing at scale deployed as far as I know (other than pumped hydro, which is geographically limited).
The batteries in the datacenter are simply there to hold the power until the generators are all up and running, and the phases are in sync.

They create 3 separate arrays of batteries in each back. Each array represents a power phase, A-B-C.. if I remember correctly, each array has a number of low voltage/2000 amp batteries connected in series to make up for a 2000amp 480 volt leg on the other end.

In a tier 4 plus+1 datacenter, they have 4 battery rooms and 4 generators for each data pod. You have a primary generator and UPS battery set, and a backup generator set for each pod. And then that generator set has its own primary and secondary backup set. The end result is that they can work on any piece of equipment without interrupting power. In the event they lost the primary set or needed to take it offline for maintenance, they have the whole secondary redundant set to fallback on.

The servers on the received on the power cord after it passes the switchgear never know that there has been power source changes on the other end.

Yes, I think dispatching the drone could be done in a safer way. E.g., by sending the user some button to click on to send the command the LLM suggests to the drone. They have the confirmation messages saying what action was performed, but that's still problematic for the reasons you mentioned.
Halon is still used. Unfortunately the same properties that makes it effective also makes it harm the ozone layer. It does not just remove heat or oxygen, it directly interferes with the reaction involved in combustion, making things stop burning.
Can you walk me through what a typical search day is like for you?

To me, the 700 soft limit seems absurd so I'm curious to hear how you interact with the product.

I average 50-100 searches per work day and 10-20 searcher per off day (totalling 1-2.5k per month). But I don't feel I'm using search in a particularly strange way.

For example, if I need to know how the new WidgetBean in SpringBoot works I'll usually end up making ~10 queries related to it before I move on to a new area of research.

E.g., I'll search "SpringBoot WidgetBean release notes" then "SpringBoot WidgetBean examples" or "WidgetBean test double", "WidgetBean in MockMvc test", "WidgetBean PowerMock known issues in MockMvc test", "WidgetBean FooService interation in MockMvc test SpringBoot 3".

Essentially, when I'm searching I go wide to survey the information landscape, then refine my search term as I discover what I actually need to know

This quickly balloons as I'm expected to know many things at $dayjob :)

What does it look like when you search?

I'm no network engineer, but I can think of a few naive approaches. For instance, IPv6 could include IPv4 addresses inside its address scope, and provide for handling both IPv4 and IPv6 packets. Distinguishing between the two wouldn't be hard.

In reading the discussions leading up to IPv6, it was clear that the actual experts involved saw a few ways to maintain such compatibility. It was decided not to do that, though, because tradeoffs are (as always) involved. There are features they wanted to include that wouldn't have been possible while maintaining compatibility, and it was thought that a breaking change was worthwhile now as long as the IPv6 protocol was good enough that no breaking change would be required in the future.
They can be supplanted by experts who are more productive thanks to AI.
Yeah. And it’s not one or the other. On the web you can make a “3d” rendering surface for the profile traces and use absolutely positioned DOM elements rendered on top for you hover-over widgets and things.

It’s still a bit of a mess though. I understand wanting to keep everything in a single UI library if you can.
The 2012 section seems not correct. In the time between 2012 and 2020 I deployed Datomic in various non AWS environments. Datomic was never particularly tied to AWS. I think your timeline also misses Datomic Cloud, which was an AWS exclusive product that launched much later than 2012.
Connection pools exist precisely because the code outside of the connection management piece shouldn’t have to care much whether or not there is an active connection. It’s all boilerplate, except for handling the “unable to connect” case.

When you call a connection or connection pool object, you’re querying its current state. This is absolutely data.
