Yeah, but on the other hand these ARM platforms have different capabilities BECAUSE they are not standardized.

All PCs have some kind of fast-updating display output (often HDMI) and a BIOS to emulate a CGA card from 199whatever on this interface. My PineNote has an e-ink driver connected by something called EBC. Is that compatible? Maybe, if someone writes a BIOS to make it work. And that wouldn't be amiss, actually, even though e-ink display isn't optimal for software designed for HDMI, it would at least make it possible to get something working quickly.

It also has a touch stylus and a battery - among other peripherals. Can you tell me which BIOS function code gets the X/Y position of a touch stylus? There isn't one - it would be a non-standard extension and we're back to square one. Or should the BIOS implement an on-screen keyboard? Every PC has a keyboard.

Almost everyone accused of commuting a crime is guilty. It’s good we have a process for being sure. But don’t confuse the process for reality.
Even if I abstract myself from the UFO claim, clues it's likely fake:

1. Zero motion blur despite monstrous speed (there's no such thing as zero-length shutter speed). This seems shot with phone, as well, but no rolling shutter, either.

2. Cloud puff doesn't track well the camera movement & the rest of the cloud (may be compression artifact).

3. Despite the puff (showing the cloud is affected), the rest of the cloud changes no shape, seemingly.
Exactly. But my point is that he won't have access to that data.
As that would be the Church's expense accounts.
The whistleblower was in the investment arm.

The whole issue boils down to these two statements :

>Christopher Waddell: No, because then everyone would be telling us what they wanted us to do with the money.

> Last year the church says it spent over a billion dollars on humanitarian aid, including food production.

> Christopher Waddell: In any given month you may have an average of nine transfers going from Ensign Peak back to the church to fund all church operations. All humanitarian work-- education work, all the work of the church they fund.

> David Nielsen: Money's going in and out of the cash accounts all the time. But Ensign Peak's funds were never used for any charitable purpose, as to my knowledge the whole time I was there. So there's a bit of a distinction here that's important.

I just find it funny ( from what I understood of the article ) that they don't have to give any audit the accounts and submit to IRS.

Let them not get taxed as a religious organization.

But at least the money trail is something the IRS and Government should be made aware of.

This is because your PC has a software compatibility layer called a BIOS.
Yeah if code size is the only metric you care about. The second link is an excellent example of code you do not want a compiler to generate by default. Like, besides all the well-known performance pitfalls of microcoded instructions, jeczx is unfusable on I think all relevant CPUs, so it’s both an additional uop and an additional cycle of latency over a tst/jz sequence.

For those interested, Restricted Data is a fascinating book in this vein.
"The moment the recorded radiations are too high is already too late, especially if you have kids, that's why we need to know about this type of things before the instrumental devices might show us that the radiation levels have crept up."

This is incorrect.

Radiation can be managed even after a nuclear strike and largely depends on proximity and subsequent weather patterns.

The half-life is short enough that sheltering indoors (preferably in a basement with taped windows) suffices for most scenarios.
There's a theory that these LLMs are learning these specialized internal structures anyways. If you could distill _those_, now that would be useful! (cheaper inference, ability to deploy on mobile etc.)
Does prison time actually benefit society, other than in an emotional capacity?

Is there any evidence that prison time for executives would help prevent such abuse in the future?

I personally think a harsher punishment is needed but I'd also prefer it to be effective towards the goal of helping prevent these abuses, rather than merely vindictive.

For example, it seems logical to me that a situation where the perpetrators were removed from, and unable to hold in the future, any executive or decision making position might better protect society.

Prison might be one way to effect that but I think we can probably do better.

And probably the financial penalties should be applied to all the individuals involved rather than the companies, otherwise consumers are the people paying in the end.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's a LOT of Dell employees.
I recently dealt with their service department and it was the worst warranty service I've had on any product. Reiterates my prior position of never buying Dell products again.

Took two, multi-hour iMessage conversations including taking 5 videos of my product each time, to prove warranty was triggered. Was at the point of asking "should I take a video of putting your product in the garbage as well?"

The craziest part was once that was done, they immediately shipped me a brand new replacement with overnight delivery. Product was already on the way before I realized they actually had granted me service.

Eizo on the other hand was a 5 minute process, but then the monitor was gone for a month being serviced.

Apple I would just walk into the store and either get it replaced on the spot or serviced and pickup when done. I've never had service denied or had to battle for hours.

So the dumbest possible outcome - they are out a new replacement monitor, and I am unhappy enough to never be a customer again.
The Nokia example makes much more sense in this case since it was an established company.

On the other hand AltaVista was on the early days of the internet where everything was much more turbulent.
"Not a lawyer btw" disclaimers generally do help, if they include the necessary wording to change your advice to "seek professional advice" and make it clear that it is general information not applicable to the audience's specific situation.

Some discussion here - https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/683/usa-is-i-am-not-...

There has been a history of "legal advice" being applied too broadly in practice, so a great deal of caution should still be exercised - https://www.yalelawjournal.org/forum/the-overreach-of-limits...
I sympathize. Some incorrect usage just seems immutable. No matter how simple a matter it is to understand, no matter the effort needed to fix it, it just cannot be changed.

For instance, in English, the incorrect use of the apostrophe to indicate an acronym plural, DVD's instead of DVDs. This misusage is so entrenched that even as I type this my Android phone's speller is trying to make me use the incorrect form!

Another widespread problem is incorrect word usage of fewer and less to distinguish between 'discrete numbers' and 'bulk quantity'. Supermarkets are recalcitrant offenders, they perpetuate the problem at checkouts with signs such as less than 12 items.

These two examples are just lost causes. I think we just have to accept that the entropy of English is increasing with word usage becoming less precise (I wonder how long it will be before fewer precise becomes acceptable). One could say people like me who notice the problem are just being pedantic and they're probably correct. However, a wider problem emerges here. Whilst the incorrect usages above are two notorious instances, there are others and when one comes across them one temporarily loses focus on the text to fixate on the bad usage, it is distracting and disrupts the flow of one's reading.

Perhaps it's just me, but I find incorrect usage more distracting than typos or bad spelling, for instance people that run instead of people who run is more distracting than, say, the incorrect usage of its/it's, which is easy to overlook or mistype even when one understands the correct usage.

Whilst I have a smattering of other languages I don't feel sufficiently competent to comment about them, but with English it seems to me if we're unable to fix the notorious examples, then we'll have even less success in fixing others.

Hey everyone!

I'm Raz, the creator of Notocat and I'm excited to share that I just launched my new product and it's live for everyone to use.

The product started as a Notion to email HTML renderer that I was using for my other business. Then I saw the opportunity to reshape this as an entire product, and Notocat is the result of all the work.

It comes with a lot of features that you'd expect from a newsletter platform, including:
- Advanced issues customization
- Custom and embeddable subscribe forms
- Custom domains
- Opens & Links tracking
- Contacts API
- Best-in-class deliverability

Really happy to receive feedback, so please let me know if there is anything you'd like to share!

Actually, what akvadrako described is just called multiprocessing - not SMP.

SMP refers specifically to systems with uniform latency to shared memory. So any distributed memory topology like ccNUMA w/ interconnect would not fit that definition.
Very true. Completely agree.
This was so before COVID. If you are good and productive you can often negotiate WFH like any other benefit.

Honestly it seems like it’s part of a tech career trajectory. Once you are very established and your skills are built up there are several tracks available to you. Two of those are WFH specialist or 5-10X experienced dev and WFH consultant.

The cube farm grind is something you go through to get your skills and network up.

I have seen the same in other knowledge areas: corporate law, finance, some types of editing and design, accounting, etc. WFH becomes one of the options at more senior levels.

The other reason it’s a more senior option is that senior people are seen as better able to self direct and thus requiring less micromanagement.
I used to read Vice when I wanted to know the details the rest of the media wouldn’t report on. The last time I read it was a few months ago. I was curious about the real facts around a certain incident. Instead of a unique perspective, I found the exact same lazy story as I saw on every other website. Plus a large helping of the boring divisive “culture war” crap that is so popular now - complete with actual naked quote mining of those the author disagreed with. How far Vice has fallen.
There was a thread on huggingface with a bunch of hysteria and an impotent moral busybody threatened his livelihood (in private messages.) I believe most of it has been cleaned up.
This is a good point. The state machine abstraction is very low level. I guess what would be interesting would be domain-specific abstractions implemented on top of state machines.

Defining the domain-specific abstractions in the terminology of state machines may make them more approachable also to non-domain experts.
But this time it'll be different.. (nervous laugh )
> AI is zero marginal generation of information (well, nearly zero, relative to humans). As I wrote last year generative models unbundle idea creation from idea substantiation, which can then be duplicated and distributed at zero marginal cost.

I find this quote a little bit hard to believe. Are the current models genuinely capable of innovation? I've been productive in using image generation for my album covers, but I haven't found a similar use for Large Language Models yet.

Easy, in todays market, there are plenty of experienced developers who are being laid off so you don’t have to hire juniors.

There is no statistic longevity in tech. It’s well known that the quickest method to make more money especially when starting out is to change jobs after two or three years.

Salary compression and inversion is real.

Yes I know it’s a prisoner’s dilemma. If no one is willing to hire juniors, then how do you get a pool of seniors. It’s a local maximization problem
I think the parent poster might have been referring to the integer multiply-add instruction.

In fact, 64-bit ARM does not have a regular MUL instruction. "MUL" is an alias to MADD with the zero register as addend.

BTW. There is also no REM instruction.
Flipping one parameter bit in the instruction word of an MADD makes the unit negate the product, changing it into a MSUB. That instruction is intended for computing the remainder after a DIV. So, when you need only a remainder there are eight instruction bytes — and high latency on small cores.
Bigger ARM cores (such as Apple M1) perform macro-op fusion of DIV and MSUB to deliver both quotient and remainder in one operation.
Its a very different thing to say there's no difference, and that the difference doesn't impact your enjoyment of the games. I've been playing TOTK this weekend, and the graphic quality does affect my enjoyment. There are performance issues, super low res graphics, awful aliasing and shadows, and super low detail textures. It doesn't ruin the game, but this is stuff that definitely deserves to be talked about.
The Wire even has a scene where Dominic West's character puts on a British accent. So a British man pretending to be an American pretending to be a Brit.

The Wire is very good.

It also features Idris Elba, so it has two British people playing Americans on either side of the law .

Just look at how people were programmed into believing that masks were bad. At best they could save lives, at worst they were an inconvenience. But some people acted like you had just punched them in the face if you asked them to wear one

And why? Because certain politicians and media outlets decided to randomly make it a political issue, and then suddenly you have people angrily spouting all kinds of crap rather than be slightly inconvenienced and have to smell their own breath

Like ChatGPT but what sets it apart from other AI chatbots is its ability to display the source of the information it provides.
Religions tend to become the opposite of what they preach.

The church of Jesus became an actual state for centuries. Buddhist monasteries founded on non-violence became fortresses populated by warrior monks. Hindu religion perpetuated the caste system. And so on. No major world religion is exempt.

The LDS church is a curious speedrun of religion’s possibilities. Should we be esoteric? A state? A hedge fund? A polygamous matchmaker? A business networking opportunity? They seem to have tried everything in less than two centuries.
Yes, that's probably a much better way to put it. Thank you :)
The example of the new EU regulation in the article is a great example of how regulation typically only serves to enable regulatory capture, thereby playing into the same goals of creating a monopoly or duopoly that governments otherwise say they’re opposed to.

I think it gives him most of the favors.

Hard to argue against how popular works that have incredible violence are. Violence is an integral part of the fictional worlds authors build and our stories would be entirely different without it. Of course we want AIs that can engage with those topics.

In 1986 I lived in east of Belarus, downwind from Chernobyl. A radiometer is absolutely of practical use. You don't have to protect anyone if the radiation is background level.

If you feel that radiometer here would be an unjustified expense perhaps that indicates you aren't really taking this threat seriously yourself.

I wonder what Dave Dobson is up to these days (if he's still alive), and which school he taught at, and what his students thought of him...
Yesterday I sent out an invite for a family event we're organizing.

This time, I figured I'll use GPT-4 to help me write the perfect text. I described the details of the event, my relationship to the invitee (inb4: without any kind of PII, of course), the style, tone and context of the desired text, and asked GPT-4 to generate suggestions. I went back and forth with it, asking it to generate more variants of a specific suggestions, then taught it a simple markup for editing and asked to iterate on specific words and sentences, until I was somewhat satisfied with the result.

Then I asked my wife for her idea, and she quickly wrote a little text of her own. Only afterwards, I showed her the best (to me) of GPT-4 texts. We then mixed the sentences from both together, creating a final work that's 50% OG, perfectly clean text written by my wife, and 50% the output of GPT-4 (with me guiding it).

Is that text a work of AI? Or of a human? Or both? Is it even 50% AI and 50% human, given that the AI part were created from my input, and then edited by my telling GPT-4 what to change, and then finally approved by me using my own judgement?

Does a random website sharing invitation templates on-line have a copyright case, if a couple sentences from our text matched something of theirs? What if it wasn't the AI part that matched?
That source is garbage. It cites a study estimating the worth of the Church in Australia at A$30bn, uses that number as the global number (though now in US dollars, for no obvious reason), and then spends the rest of the article talking about the finances of the Holy See. And on that matter, it attributes the Vatican's budget deficit to "falling gold prices", as if the Church's main asset was a gold mine that produced a set amount of gold each year - not to mention that gold is up about 50% over the time period they consider, 2013-2022.

I'd expect a more diligently written article from an average ten year old.
A heat map is a visual representation of data over time. Heat maps are widely used in various fields, including finance, healthcare, and education. Colors in a heat map represent a range of values, such as a user’s activity level throughout the day or week.

Using a heat map on a calendar, users can quickly determine which days are typically busier. This information can be used to modify their schedule or organize their work more efficiently.

This blog post will explore designing a heat map calendar using the .NET MAUI Scheduler. In this example, we will use the Scheduler to track daily support ticket traffic. Support traffic refers to the volume of requests for information or problem fixes a company or organization receives. The Syncfusion .NET MAUI Scheduler provides customization options and allows users to design a heat map calendar by customizing the month cells.

> John Lukacs used to tell us is that we "must consider the battle of Salamis as if the Persians might still win." Meaning that you want to understand what happens in 1633, you can't consider things learned in 1687 or 1803. The mid-17th century had no clear concept of inertia, of gravitation, of forces, etc.;

So basically we should avoid to do any kind of anachronism, which people do as well, while interpreting historical events or even worse historical figures.
I've been depressed (but also not - I'm 'lucky' in that my depression is/has been situation based rather than innate/chemical). I think the problem with chasing happiness in particular is that it's kind of similar to chasing the high of a drug: It's not possible to be actively happy 100% of the time. I know in my depressive times one thing I liked to do was set myself impossible goals, and I think 'being happy' is one of them.

In my case, I needed to be more in touch with my emotions because I have severe dissociative issues and a very adversarial relationship with my own body, but I don't seek out any particular emotion. I see my emotions as data being passed to me from my lizard brain and I believe that to make appropriate decisions I must pay attention to all relevant data. In the same way that when planning an outing I must consider my physical capacity, when planning a goal or project I must also consider my emotional data. I try not to ascribe meaning to the emotions themselves, but I view them as invaluable indicators of meaning. If that makes any sense.
