I love reading all the mid-late 90s articles on the web. I guess I'm old enough to say I'm "re-reading" all of this now. I can still remember the first time I saw an animated gif! That damn thing was like magic. This article was bullish, I really love the old ones that say things like "this is a fad"!

I love how STEM has basically just been reduced to TE (and maybe M, but it’s more of a tangential thing) colloquially. My understanding that the “S” in particular are not very valued, and that there’s way more supply than demand in most of the sciences.
I think if you give someone a house they are definitionally no longer homeless, even if they remain mentally ill or addicted to drugs.
This is nonsense. Rust is based off of LLVM, which is what Clang is based off of. Name one modern, actually used, non-archaic system that LLVM doesn't run on. Beyond that, Cargo and all associated tooling run pretty much everywhere. So I'm not sure what outdated trope you're on about here.
lol people would rather be poor in the US than mexico yes.

your dichotomy is a false representation. and a poor one at that

Which city? I was in Spokane recently (obviously not the coastal city you are speaking about) and was surprised by how full of homeless people downtown was.
Isn't this more a study of priors and statistics than bias? Bias would be an error between some latent underlying value and an estimate of it.
That's not C++ tooling. That's tooling written in C++. Two very different things.
The whole day is ruined. LMAO.
people who take this emotional and illogical approach is exactly why the homeless suffer to the extent they do

This is why we never use much less connect the onboard Intel Ethernet port for any motherboards having Intel support. (Same for AMD); we always add a (better) Ethernet NIC adapter card.

Meanwhile, mothetboards having ARM, RISC and PowerPC continues to gain support.
Define nice weather.
If we are talking winters with temperatures consistently over 0C (32F), little to no snow, seattle and portland are great for winter.

Nice weather for homeless people basically means not strong shelter required to survive, unlike the midwest and east coast which consistently freeze in winter.
Edit: Unlike the sibling poster I am saying it give it to them directly.

I guarantee you it if you set the average homeless person up with a nice apartment and just gave them the change from
that $4700 in a real bank account no strings attached in perpetuity the problem would get sorted real quick. Oh no they do drugs?! like the heaviest drug users I've ever met aren't white collar.

Even better offer them that same $4700 deal but pay to relocate them to the midwest and they'll be able to afford all but the penthouse luxury apartments, pay all their bills and expenses, and still put $2k in savings/discretionary spending every month.

Like we're talking about spending an amount of money that would be life changing to the average american household per capita and pretending that somehow it wouldn't change lives. Sure there's gonna be exceptions but buy some sandwiches and forties shoot the shit with some homeless folks sometime. They're mostly normal-ass people who've been traumatized by homelessness and stuck.

In a world where I become one of those rich people that can't spend money fast enough to not get richer that's 100% gonna be my lifetime project. Wonder if Bezos is looking for a new wife.
The molten metal is what radiates the IR
It's actually a pretty scrutable paper. Most of the examples are in ML (or an ML-inspired notation). They are concise and clear in their presentation if you spend a moment scrutinizing them if you happen to be unfamiliar with the ML-family of languages. It's not like he used MUMPS for his example code. And his prose is reasonable, he avoids excessive notation and jargon beyond what a computer scientist or programmer with modest experience in a functional and an OO language ought to be able to work out. It might be inscrutable to a total novice or outsider, but that's probably not the target audience.

The core of the distinction is well-summarized with this paragraph from page 7:

> This difference is fundamental: abstract data types have a private, protected representation type that prohibits tampering or extension. Objects have behavioral interfaces which allow definition of new implementations at any time.

The other big difference is brought up on page 10 with respect to the "Expression Problem". It is easier to add operations to ADTs than representations, and easier to add representations with objects than operations. Though this pretty clearly relates back to the quote I provided. (And as he notes this has been solved in various ways in various languages and systems over the years; he's discussing this more from a "pure" ADT/object perspective.)
i'm pretty sure that's what the op was saying.
When your title is "someone saved the whole company", it definitely is diminishing everyone else's work, at least in the case of AMD.

Like someone else mentioned here, Jim Keller always says "team work" and all when someone praises him. Microprocessor as complex as a modern consumer CPU certainly involves so many people that attributing it to any one person is just impossible.

But obviously now we are getting into the topic of whether any CEO is that important to a large company. I'd like to say they aren't, but our hero worshipping culture makes it hard to break out of that mindset.
Not "absolutely nothing", according to research I've seen. Just not very much.
So does the best guess basically just mean estimating a fairly rich mix at first? Then for tuning are you trying to lean it out to the point you start pinging then back off?

Except when you work for places that desire and reward uniformity and homogeny. In contrast to what you describe, these types of companies punish people for disagreeing using facts and alternative solutions, as they really want "yes" men.
The impression I have is that since lithium is everywhere, this is just a matter of the extraction industries scaling up and maturing for that specific mineral. There will be a lot of players, the price is destined to plummet as long as it continues being the mass-market electrolyte of choice.

Unlike with something like a rare earth metal, which no amount of extraction optimization can put within your borders if your continent is geologically unlucky.

Sounds like Mahapralaya in Hinduism. It means the great dissolution where the universe dissolves back into... whatever you want to call it. Hindus call it God but you could equally think of it as nothingness.
Not all applications need high availability across multiple clouds and the cost increases that go with that. Some applications can afford a couple hours of downtime if the underlying hosting platform as issues instead of needing to do a hot failover to completely different infrastructure.

Reason TV did an interesting video recently looking at several angles of homelessness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcZhmUfDePE

There are a lot of things you can take from it, but one overarching opinion is that "housing first" gets in the way of helping those who are down on their luck and find themselves hopefully-temporarily without a home (as opposed to those who cannot or will not work to change their situation).

It makes the case you need multiple approaches to deal with the vastly different homeless situations.

> it’s ethically and artistically far more imperative to stay true

I could maybe understand artistically if the end result looks different. But ethically? It's a building, ethics don't apply to it.
I see these as complimentary, knowledge base for search and self support. Email for well documented transactions or low priority questions. Slack/Discord to avoid making phone calls when looking for real people responses quickly. Phone for emergencies.
So, they discover a vulnerability in ios and publish the details of the symptoms of the exploit -- something that Apple themselves were unaware --, release a tool to detect indicators of compromise in iphone backups and yet, somehow they have poor judgment?

What should they be doing? Keep the discovery to themselves so those who claim iPhone is secure can continue living obliviously with their worldview unchanged? Wouldn't we accuse them of poor judgment if they did that?

It is quite reasonable for them to say the ecosystem being closed is making analysis and detection difficult. It is up to Apple to do what they want with that information.
I ordered one about a year ago and forgot all about it. After a few apologies for the lateness of the shipping, the order never arrived. This comment reminded me, so I just emailed them to see what's up.
Were you really though... ftxbro?
There is no "correct" way to do take home assessments. They are abusive to applicants and largely a waste of time. Most of the best developers refuse to jump through those hoops, so companies that use them are missing out on good employees. If you use such assessments then you're not a competent hiring manager.
I don't understand the point of real time status pages if they are clearly not real time and not accurate.

My error notifications were blowing up my phone, the first thing I did is check their status page and assumed issue is within my application, and I couldn't even access my backend application. Out of desperation, I had to check downdetector to confirm the issue. I have formed new respect for downdetector.

In the absence of data, this is pure conspiracy. And considering the obvious issue of California being one of the most expensive places to live on the continent, it seems like quite a stretch.
Yuck, what a disgustingly misleading front page then. I installed it today after it was mentioned and played with it and really like it, but this is worse than Ungoogled Chromium. I guess I won't be switching to it. Thanks for the heads up.
It is simple: the mere fact of adding network support at BIOS level remains problematic.

And we are not talking about TFTP, but DHCP and NTP (not to mention even more problematic HTTP[S]) which clearly does not belong at BIOS and should not be at UEFI level.
So they moved to Vancouver, had a home for a year, then become homeless. The news article did not claim that the homeless respondents were homeless before they moved; simply that they are not local to Vancouver.

If you become homeless after 6 months of moving, you weren't financially stable to begin with.

EDIT: It's a moot point anymore. The fact is, they are in Vancouver and are homeless. We should help them regardless of where they came from.
I'd like to get started with RISC-V chips. Can anyone reccommend a good dev board similarly priced or spec'd to the Pi Pico? Would be nice if the standalone SoC are easy to acquire as well.

Which is the best cost wise? Which is the best performance wise? Power consumption wise?

I don't need WiFi/Bluetooth though it would be nice. Low cost is preferrable over sheer performance. Ideally I get a fair amount of GPIO (>30) and it supports 3V or 5V.
Don't agree with that at all. If it were simply "repetitive and non-creative", why hire copywriters at all, why not just have the engineers or product managers write the copy?

I've worked with good copywriters, and was impressed with the quality of writing they did. The point is that ChatGPT excels at the type of creative writing that previously we thought was solely the domain of humans. I think you are getting things backwards if you think that because ChatGPT can do it that it is repetitive and non-creative.
Sadly, I think the problem is much simpler: corruption. Given that California is essentially governed by a single party, it is subject to corruption and inefficiency.

Lets take just example from this week: an announcement was made stating that the construction of a tiny house costs $1,600 per square foot [1].
All I can say is this: somebody is pocketing this money. I don't know who, how, or why. Regardless, it's clear that this money is going to someone, and that someone is not homeless.

Some feedback on...what exactly? Is there a link that's supposed to be attached to this?
Not him, but it would likely be my own fault and weakness if I end up like that and people have every right to ridicule me for acting ridiculous. That is, pooping on the streets and leaving needles everywhere.
As I said, outright malicious extensions will always find a way. I now discovered a newer variant of these extensions, this time using Manifest V3. And they still run arbitrary code: https://palant.info/2023/06/02/how-malicious-extensions-hide...
yeah... I have the same problem. I click on the icon in dock and nothing happens. For example, Microsoft Teams.. I need this to open it and contact someone asap, but nothing happens. I need to search for the teams window on all the desktops. Or right click it and select the window, usually this works. But still frustrating. I have been using Mac for 6 months (before Windows and Linux) and Mac OS is sometimes frustrating when trying to do the most simple stuff like bringing a closed app back to front.
Seems like some of them are residential IP addresses! I guess parts of a botnet or a compromised device?
As far as I can tell, California has spent exactly $0 on homes for the homeless, and therefore has spent exactly $0 trying to solve homelessness. California has spent $17b on theater to make people feel better about doing nothing for the homeless.

Shelters are not homes. If you don't have privacy, a right to who is allowed into the space, the ability to store your possessions, to have pets, etc., you're homeless, and having an indoor bed to sleep on doesn't solve that. HN people who have never experienced housing insecurity in their lives will wax poetic about how many homeless turn down help because they turn down shelters, but this is a totally wrong, ignorant, and compassionless take. Homeless people turn down shelters because for many homeless, shelters aren't help--they're worse than sleeping on the street. Shelters are at best a mild alleviation of suffering for those homeless for whom the tradeoffs of living in a shelter are worth it.

The solution to homelessness is not mental health services: mental health services are totally ineffective when one is suffering the ongoing trauma of homelessness. Mental health services are a much needed measure to prevent people from becoming homeless in the first place, but they're utterly ineffective in getting people who are homeless into homes.

The solution to homelessness is homes. Period.

The fact is, if we gave homes to the homeless, it would drive down the prices of housing, and that would hurt the pocketbooks of people with power and money. That's why no money is being invested into solving homelessness. Until we as a society stop blindingly trusting rich people to be benevolent, this problem (and any other problem which rich people benefit from) will not be solved.
I have been a long time MacOS user and the app/window switching never made any sense to me. Windows and Linux just does it better.
can you point to an example where they built homes and the infrastructure to support those homes where people blocked the project for reasons other than 'not in my neighborhood, or 'not with my tax dollars', but more of what you seem to imply "It's not good enough?"
What? So we not coming back, it will be forever? It’s cool that think about what forever feels like after we are gone
But, given the root ancestor of this comment, it’s worth clarifying that Python’s approach to strings doesn’t help at all with things like decoding JSON/XML/HTML/YAML; what Python gives you is random access by code point index, which you won’t ever need to use in such tasks.
Let people have something. Let them have one persistent thing that they care about and care for. It’s a dog.
vpalignr is called "slice", vpshufb is "rearrange". The latter is easy to find if you search the page linked above for "shuf". The former is a bit harder, but I found it by searching for "concat" while thinking about how it might be possible to express it.

If you need the vpshufb behavior of zeroing elements where the index is negative, I think you will need to build something out of multiple operations. The compiler is of course free to match those multiple operations to one target instruction, i.e., recognize that what you are trying to say is really a vpshufb. It can do this in the same way that it can match multiple operations like x + y * 8 + 12 to a single lea instruction.

Not a surprise. Ethanol had a footprint > it's fuel value. Eventually it came down to break-even then a positive return. But we need fuel, and it could be made with electricity. So it had a place (and still does).

These things are complicated. Lots of foods have footprints > beef. We eat them too. For {reasons}.

Hopefully this situation will improve. Hopefully all sorts of situations will improve! This one like all the others, no different.

I agree, I should've been more clear, i was referring to database. The main issue is if database , storage and backups are located with single Cloud provider, it is a possibility for a single point of failure.
Or, hear me out, make similar comments as mine and use your economic leverage. We've been trying to push for regulations and stuff for decades, it hasn't been working. I'm not saying stop, I'm saying that the strategy needs to be rethought.

Here's what I suggest. When you see it, call it out. Doesn't matter if it is WSJ, CNN, Fox, your uncle at Thanksgiving, or whatever. Call out ads masquerading as news. Don't engage with them directly. Don't take a political stance. Reinforce the idea that you don't know shit about what's going on and not nearly enough to formulate a meaningful opinion (opinions always exist but opinions aren't always meaningful or helpful). Be HARDLINE apolitical in this respect. You can have politics about things that you know about, anything less is tribalism.

You're not going to directly topple the structures overnight nor are you going to be able to march into the president's office. But you are a meme, you are a virus. If you infect just two others, the virus spreads. And it spreads fast. This is the power you have at the individual level. You are part of a deeply connected web that people are trying to convince you is worthless. But we're all 6 degrees of freedom, or less, from one another and that's how contagions spread so fast, especially in the modern world. This is how you hit them from the market side. This isn't boycotting in the traditional sense, but it isn't dissimilar. Regulations won't happen without strong public support and MAJOR pressure on politicians, who have consistently shown they do not respect our opinions: because we don't hold them accountable. This is all connected.

Be the meme/virus. Be apolitical. Stop any tribalism. Call out ads. Be a pain, even to your friends, and force themselves to censor themselves around you. Don't force them to have no opinions, just don't let them be tribal and lazy. Force them to have nuance. Either they will have nuance, or they censor. Both are effective.
>The purpose of Intel ME is to give foreign intelligence agencies wireless access to America's senators, executive teams, and critical infrastructure.

Do you even have a shred of evidence for this claim?

>yet another 0day in the endless stream of zero days

There is not an endless stream of zero days in the ME. None of these are relevant to most people's security model. Even for those with an excessive security model attacks you probably already consider your machine compromised if tan attacker has physical access to it.
Presumably many brute force attempts come from compromised residential PCs, whose owners may not be aware that they are participating in an attack. It's not especially polite to expose all of that personal info.
As someone who is 100% indifferent to Bezos I can offer some objectivity. I suspect most people are indifferent to Bezos and most other ultra-wealthy men. No matter who you are and what you do, if you are in the limelight and/or have money there will always be a subset of churlish human who will hate on virtually anyone who is not in their social class. And I suspect who saves their most acidic vitriol for those who are.

Since EPA has neglected to track down the illegal dumping of the California solar industry's cadmium-tainted wastewater by unscrupulous tanker trucks at across the nation's roadsides and culverts, we have little faith that EPA will track the sulfuric acid (and other toxic metals) wastewater dumping as well.
I don’t think Nvidia competition is coming from AMD. It’s way too late for that to happen. MSFT/GOOG/META will have their hands dirty now and AMD might be left watching. Not to mention what Apple has in store for the next few years. The best thing for AMD would be to partner up with MSFT. CUDA/PyTorch is here to stay for a very long time.
> The fact is, if we gave homes to the homeless, it would drive down the prices of housing

Giving homes to the homeless would increased demand for housing, which would increase the price of houses, no?
Microsoft is busy integrating GPT into all of their products. I expect the next release of Outlook to have a button to generate an AI summary of long messages.
Redaction or not, reality is very much in line with the original story.

AI is able to, and will, demote humans in the chain of importance. This is the "grave risk of AGI." There's no solution.

Even "unplug it" defenses fail to consider that some faction of humans who own the unplugging have to first realize it's time to unplug. Humans are fallible, and AI will not unplug itself if it's not beneficial to its objective.

The threat of AI taking out humans because it's easier to complete the goal, is so real. Unnervingly so. We need to find a robust solution.
