> Intel was making enough coin from x86 that they were reluctant to EOL it in favour of something RISC. Not that they didn't try. Multiple times (Itanium being the worst, though much later).

It seems as if VLIW with a sufficiently smart compiler to handle the instruction packing was the "fetch" Intel kept trying to make happen, but it wasn't going to happen (people kept stumbling on the "sufficiently smart compiler" bit). First with the iAPX 432, then the i860, then Itanium.
It would be nice to know if this was a misconfigured AWS S3 bucket.
My money would be on that.
Companies are still learning this lesson, slowly and at all of our expense.
I've read the abstract, noted the enthusiasm for pointer provenance and the doctoral advisor, and jumped to my usual conclusion on this stuff.

Software that needs to be written in C, as opposed to in friendlier or more aggressively constrained languages, is that which needs to deal in hardware. Things like there's a value at absolute address k which you load from to indicate to some other part of the system that a thing has happened.

The domain is exclusively stuff that can be written in asm but it's cheaper and saner not to.

The pointer provenance strategy miscompiles enough of that domain to be unsafe to use. It interacts particularly poorly with the aliasing model that thwarts treating memory as an array of integers, or an array of atomic integers, or an array of simd types.

The end game of this "sound semantics" strategy, as favoured by WG14, is a language with zero use cases. You can't put it near hardware without fno-strict-aliasing and whatever flag turns off provenance based reasoning. You don't want to put it near anything else because C++ freestanding, D and rust are all faster and safer.

It's interesting work that can help provide sane semantics for fairly low level code. It's a real shame that it comes at the price of killing C.

edit: I read the chapters on memory and provenance. The authors are aware that provenance doesn't correspond to programs as written, and propose a few variations on it to try to open well judged escape hatches. As expected prior to writing the above rant. It's still miscompile by default when dealing with the real machine.
> the other companies where I worked all fired me many months after I had been working there.. I am only giving my side of the story (I don’t know their side)

I'm surprised you don't know their side. Getting fired (not laid off) from multiple companies is unusual. They typically try to cover themselves by establishing a months long paper trail to justify the termination, e.g. bad performance reviews, performance conversations, PIP, etc.
If you bank with one of the institutions that is subject to this policy and you are not a multimillionaire it is highly likely that you are making a mistake that is causing you to be exploited by greedy rich people. Take an hour this weekend and find a credit union and I bet you that you will be pleasantly surprised.
This is absolutely not surprising. When I was doing my MSc, I'd often use up about 5000$ just in single-use plastic consumables in a day. There were zero profit incentives related to my project, it was pure fundamental research. Wet labs are insanely expensive to run.
It's kind of a miracle that the output files from all the solutions are standardized and work across the industry to automate production and you can get a PCB made for $1. In the mechanical CAD/manufacturing world there is a LOT of manual work and discussion required. There are now automated quoting services, but they just put the onus on the user to upload files and manually input details into a proprietary system.
@sschueller

Awesome job.

Can you make a base gitlab project so anyone can fork it easily when anyone wants to create a new project?
>The most recent IRI plume also indicates El Niño is likely to form during the May-July season and persist into the winter.

I was confused by the post's title but it appears El Nino is 90% likely to increase temperatures this year from May - Winter. I don't know how different this is from a normal El Nino, nor do I know if 90% is higher or lower than average.

Wait, who is exceptionally unconvinced? And who is unhappy? I’m confused.
As a metal lover and hack guitarist, I would love an AI bandmate drummer that jams along with me.

Back when I used to play in bands, I’d often jam with a mate who was a drummer, he’d wait for me to start with a riff and then join in.

Sure, I can record some riffs at home and add realistic drums myself in a DAW, or use a basic drum machine, but the magic was in the unique unpredictability of how he’d interpret my riff and the beats he’d come up with on the fly.

As I got older, I stopped playing in bands, lost touch with this particular mate (who also stopped drumming) and generally don’t play guitar as much as I used to.

Give me a generative AI bandmate that listens to me while I play for a second and joins in and you have my money.
ZFS (or rather, OpenZFS) is absolutely Free Software and Open Source under any definition. Richard Stallman will tell you the same thing.

It just has an unfortunate license that's not GPL-compatible and this causes problems with GPL kernels (e.g. Linux), which is a very different thing than "not being properly free".

Because this has suddenly gone from +something to -4 I want to point out that when I wrote it, the submitted title was 'GIL Strang [...]'; so it made a lot more sense (and the title didn't)...

It'd be nice if a title change afforded a possibility to edit/delete comments, or if mods doing so would scan the comments for anything about them.

(I recently had a very old tweet liked and retweeted by someone I mentioned in it, that I can't make head or tails of - I can only assume the account is now owned by someone else - so I'm a bit sensitive to it...)
That can't work because Google does content-based filtering. They blame the forwarder for any spam or anything forwarded that's spam-like, and there's no way to designate a source as a legitimate (that is, don't blame it) forwarder.
This is voluntary work for people who have been convicted. I agree they should be paid more though.

Why is everyone just responding with further rhetorical questions in this thread? It is annoying.
Going to everyone's house seems multiple orders of magnitude more trouble than looking at where a car is most often parked, and seeing if you have anybody in your database that lives, works, or has relatives (or facebook friends) that live at those addresses. I bet you'd get a unique hit 99.99% of the time if you have 10 years of data.

Is it specifically inflammation or rapid cell regeneration which inflammation can cause?
ZFS is Sun.

BTTFS is Oracle.

And neither have anything to do with a database, IMHO.
Depends on the stage and the type of company.

Early stage pre-seed likely don't have a marketing person, and at seed stage may have a marketing person or part-time. But not always.
People have baseline expectations when they buy a product. If you buy a lock the expectation is that you need some level of skill to steal it. If it turns out that anyone can just pull the lock open you've been defrauded by the lock seller. But if the lockpicklawyer opens it you haven't, because no one expects locks to be unpickable.
If not an issue to show the own research about the points in the project first or asking for understanding in context. But that's perhaps how grown ups would do it. Some just want to have the argument to show they know better (but only presenting how little their knowledge is).
Meds help, but it takes more than meds if you have bad circumstances (ADHD unfriendly environment, bad self care routines, stressful circumstances, untreated co-morbidities, learned unhelpful thought patterns, etc.).

If possible, using them to help get started tackling the other issues may be worthwhile. CBT and Mindfulness/Meditation have evidence supporting their efficacy.

Unfortunately, many prescribing Dr’s just do the one button (meds), and never mention or provide useful refs to anything else.

Also notably, talk therapy is not recommended (it tends to encourage rumination, instead of using different, more useful thought patterns which CBT helps with).

It might be worth investigating.

‘How to ADHD’ on YouTube seems useful to a number of people I know, and is pretty ADHD friendly - unlike a great many other resources.
I think the part of the article that the parent comment is disagreeing with is:

> “It is certainly much more than a stochastic parrot, and it certainly builds some representation of the world—although I do not think that it is quite like how humans build an internal world model,” says Yoshua Bengio, an AI researcher at the University of Montreal.

> At a conference at New York University in March, philosopher Raphaël Millière of Columbia University [...] went a step further and showed that GPT can execute code, too, however. The philosopher typed in a program to calculate the 83rd number in the Fibonacci sequence. “It’s multistep reasoning of a very high degree,” he says. And the bot nailed it. When Millière asked directly for the 83rd Fibonacci number, however, GPT got it wrong: this suggests the system wasn’t just parroting the Internet. Rather it was performing its own calculations to reach the correct answer.

> This impromptu ability demonstrates that LLMs develop an internal complexity that goes well beyond a shallow statistical analysis. Researchers are finding that these systems seem to achieve genuine understanding of what they have learned.
In the US it was on the order of 10M$, not adjusted for inflation, a decade or two ago (source: publicly available DOT documents).
Lambda free tier is pretty generous. If it's not free tier the pricing is also very small relative to running a server to do this
Yea but you still want a good async interface if you're already using async, even if it's mocked over an underlying threadpool. Otherwise you have to wrap all your DB clients in your own adhoc async wrappers which feels kinda bad, imo.
It definitely can be on legacy systems.
How does it compare to ReFS or other more recent systems?, if you've ever looked into it.
Sigh. I don't really understand why you're having such trouble with this?

"BBEdit is 30 years old as a commercial product"

"30th anniversary of BBEdit as a commercial product"

"Bare Bones Software released the first commercial version of BBEdit 30 years ago"

Plenty of fine, accurate, straightforward titles to choose from, yet you keep doing weird, misleading stuff with it.

In fact, the original submitted title was fine, and clear enough.

It's apparently true that there was a free version of BBEdit released on April 12, 1992. But that is not what is being celebrated now. It's largely irrelevant. Rather, it's the non-free version released on May 11, 1993. That's why there's "30th Anniversary special pricing" of $30 with coupon code “BBEDIT30”.

30, not 31.

BBEdit, not Bare Bones Software (the exact anniversary of which is unknown).
but in reality the biggest advertisers have come back and with her at the helm even more will.

I would bet advertisers like Apple got a huge sweetheart deal. The majority of advertising I see is (by volume), crappy "As Seen On TV" type products fronted by MANY different accounts (I can't block them fast enough), accounts promoting whatever thought leader angle they are working (also insta-blocked), and finally large brands that Twitter probably would like a lot more of.
Think of the poor thieves. Stealing is a basic human right! Hopefully we can spread the word to looters across the country that the EU will welcome them with open arms.
Most of that work was done 2016 - 2020. Typically we saw issues when people jumped on new features in new releases, so it's pretty much excusable and we'd just forbid the use of these features as long as we didn't really need them.

However, it was not uncommon. I always had a debug build of KiCad on my machine in order to replicate crashes or odd behavior others saw.

It should be noted that we're generally talking about PCBs that could get pretty big and complicated. We certainly uncovered edge cases that were hard to foresee that way.
> The idea that HN commenters who have never met the guy have opinions that contradict the statements of John Carmack, Jim Keller, Tom Mueller, Andrej Karpathy, etc.

Those people can also be wrong about stuff. This is just an appeal to the reputation of those names. It doesn't give weight pro se.

I don't have an opinion on Musk's skills as an engineer. I know I've seen him be very arrogantly and confidently wrong about things I know pretty well. That's a bit of a red flag trait that probably bleeds into other areas of his life and work. But also, i don't draw this conclusion out of hate or prejudice for the man. I don't care.

So I'm almost 40 now, was prescribed to ADHD meds from around ages 10-28, mainly Adderall as that just worked best.

At 28 I stopped Adderall because I honestly don't care for the side effects, and felt like I had good enough habits to do without it.

That worked for a while, but I was at a job that wasn't too challenging for 6 years (and very underpaid as a result of not being more ambitious/focused)

Switched to another job, ended up getting promoted to lead, then everything came crashing down. Couldn't focus, and as I fell further behind I'd feel more stressed and overwhelmed constantly.

I had been drinking coffee the whole time, but it wasn't helping that much. Irritated my bowels pretty badly though (I ended up needing surgery for a complication of what turned out to be Crohns, though my symptoms are incredibly mild when I'm not drinking over 4 cups of coffee per day).

Finally got back on Adderall after ~10 years unmedicated and was able to just stop coffee. My entire life has improved. I can focus during work hours and even have some free time during the day, since I'm not spending the entire day struggling to get work done.

I can honestly say that Adderall is much more helpful for me, and has minimal physical side effects compared to copious coffee (though I do have mental/emotional side effects, which are honestly less negative than the stress that accompanied being constantly overwhelmed, exhausted, and sleep-deprived)

The process to get my prescription in Canada took almost 2 years (in part because of my poor ability to navigate the labyrinthine health care system due to said ADHD)

But wow, has it already improved my quality of life significantly in the ~1 month I've been back on it. I agree with other posters here that we should just let people get it OTC or allow diagnosed individuals to just get a lifetime prescription
How does this compare to Ansible, and AWX?

Innocence is not enough to get a conviction overturned but it also isn’t necessary to get a conviction overturned. Procedural flaws are far and away the most common reason. So the overturned rate, in capital cases or elsewhere, doesn’t tell us much about the true facts of the matter—-not even as a floor.
In short, both, via a variety of mechanisms.
3M.
What El Niño means depends wildly on where you live.

In California, particularly Southern California, an El Niño winter is more likely wetter than usual. The 1997-1998 winter comes to mind.

These are all statistical predictions based on previous years, and any individual year can vary wildly from average. In addition, climate change makes historical data increasingly irrelevant. So, take any forecast of the weather six months into the future with a grain of salt!
I think you'd be surprised how many people in the US are unbanked -- around 6M households (so if we go by the average household size, 15M people) in 2021. Granted, this number has been dropping over time, for better or worse.

Also consider that most banks in the US are not being hit with this $16B bill. If you bank at one of the thousands of other banks, you won't be affected by this. And if you do bank at one of these banks, and they choose to increase fees or lower interest rates, you're free to vote with your wallet and move your deposits elsewhere.
If the poster wanted to ask GPT4, don’t you think they would’ve just asked GPT4?
How does it compare to something like apache airflow? I like the native Go integration, and that it is specifically mentioned that the overhead is minimal to start a job. Airflow can take quite a varying amount of time to schedule your job.
ZFS is absolutely Free Software, it's just that its license isn't GPLv2 compatible. (Bearing in mind that by the same stroke, GPLv3 isn't GPLv2 compatible.)
I believe that tech has helped solve food shortages across the world in recent decades. Tech has cured disease. Even recently it helped to develop a vaccine at record speed. Tech has provided internet connectivity for the most remote parts of the world.

That gives me optimism.
Nah dude, the huge companies that use record profits to buy back stock instead of giving raises to their employees struggling to afford their cost of living and who routinely pull shit like laying off and rehiring people to new positions so they have a reason not to give them raises and closing down stores that even discuss the idea of unionizing would totally draw the line at advertising at a company that has a CEO that follows rightoids instead of leftists.

If there’s one thing that massive for profit corporations can’t stand it’s capitalism.
I don't know about API Gateway specifically, but AWS AppSync (their managed GraphQL) supports the same VTL based direct integration. Using a direct integration does not prevent you from using their managed cache solution (which uses ElastiCache under the hood).
It is by no means clear that tax payers will be paying for any of it, unless you happen to hold bank equities. This is the FDIC sticking US banks with the bill.

The equity owners of SVB were (correctly) zeroed. They were not bailed out.

The account holders were bailed out. The regulators feared the risk of contagion more than moral hazard. I'm inclined to agree.

With some luck, it will inject a bit more realism into their lobbying around regulation.
That makes total sense. The paranoid approach to software involves writing N separate pieces using teams that can't talk to each other to minimise how many people know what the overall system can do. Applying the same reasoning to hardware seems to end up with this conclusion (and probably some enthusiasm for FPGAs).

I'm curious to what extent software built in this isolated silos scheme actually works, best guess is it's OK but slow and expensive to build. Same idea might apply here, i.e. it's a way to make hardware take longer to put together.
> National forecasters said on Thursday that the climate pattern system, known for bringing record rainfall in South America, more winter storms in the U.S West and South, and droughts in southern Asia, Indonesia and Australia, is expected to make its official return within a few months and has a strong chance of lasting the rest of the year.

Yeah, it's bizarre.

Are we not simply employing statistics when we deduce that yes, if we release our grip, the smartphone will fall to the floor?

You wouldn't have to ever see a phone drop in order to know that, and neither would you have to study or know of the terminology of gravity.

It comes from the statistical knowledge that all things fall when not blocked.
Not everyone has access to GPT4. Those with access may also not want to waste one of their 25 quota messages on summarizing a random article.
"El Niño usually brings a quieter Atlantic hurricane season and more hurricane activity in the Pacific, while La Niña does the opposite — a dynamic that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has compared to a seesaw.

El Niño's warmer waters can also push the Pacific jet stream south. When that happens, the NOAA says, "areas in the northern U.S. and Canada are dryer and warmer than usual. But in the U.S. Gulf Coast and Southeast, these periods are wetter than usual and have increased flooding.""

This is a strangely hostile interpretation of what Carlson said and also of what I have said. You seem very ready to be angry about this. I am interested in a lucid discussion of the topic, and I would be happy to engage with you in that way if you are so inclined.

I think it is pretty clear that in context the Carlson quote means "how white men [should] behave [according to their culture (which is not completely homogenous but does have a bulk of fairly common values sourced from Christianity and longstanding cultural cross pollination on the continent and related colonies)]".

Other cultures have different cultural traditions and rules for behavior. This is a fact and it is not innately offensive, in a vacuum. We see N-on-1 combat as immoral because we have been brainwashed with a particular morality. I don't believe it is the case that all groups throughout history have seen N-on-1 combat as immoral. Would you claim that they have and do, and that N-on-1 combat is universally immoral?

My best guess at why people are angry when this is discussed is because they have internalized our time-and-place morality as universal, and so any mention of people having a different morality is interpreted as equivalent to calling them "bad people". Calling other groups "bad people" is itself highly immoral in today's time-and-place morality, so, transitively, anyone mentioning other groups' differing morality have themselves committed an immoral act. The moral impulse in the observer is thus inflamed.

There is an extremely ironic submerged Eurocentrism in this way of thinking (i.e. internalizing our Euro-rooted time-and-place morality as universal).
Not everyone pays for GPT4.
Well, transactions settle with finality in seconds or minutes and cost pennies. Success rate is much higher, and failure is funds never left your account.
So whatever it's held together with, which generally seems to be cryptography, mostly works.
How would it be less likely to induce confusion? What is it even supposed to mean in that form? I had no idea what you were talking about until someone explained your error.
It already did, that was what CompuServe, AOL, and arguably Facebook etc. were. Musk seems to be calling back to things that were big when he was growing up. I don't think there's such a demand for the return of the internet portal.
And the pun in the headline being 'The Last Post', the bugle call played at funerals. (To American ears, it may sound like a slow mournful version of 'Taps').
Same can be said for human intelligence as well, just we are just more efficient in number of tokens we digest
Huh? There's new university lecture videos being added to Youtube all the time, so I don't know why you'd say everything there is old. Besides, for many (most?) subjects it doesn't matter if the videos are old or not. Something like, eg Linear Algebra, just doesn't change that much.

All of that said, one other option you might check out is videolectures.net[1]. There's some pretty good stuff there.
