only get a steam deck if you're really interested in portable playing. You can build a better desktop from old parts. The steamdeck is an interesting device that's doing a lot for gaming via proton, but that makes tradeoffs for battery life and portability. If you're not interested in the portability just get a desktop. If you're interested in the portability but need a large screen, get a laptop. If you want a sega game gear form factor that can run steam games get a steam deck.
If the thing you have to sort is within a known domain you can definitely beat o(n log(n)). Just expect crazy memory usage.

I want to comment on this article way more than the news he was fired. This article is proof that allowing sleazy journalists unfettered access can never be in your best interests. 90% of the article is informative and seemingly straight reporting. 10% is subtle and brutal undermining of Licht through implication and opinion. Little details, like mentioning the pauses before answering or how he "chews" his lips. All of the subtle details relay a much more biased outlook than the seeming fact-based narrative.

The story the article wants us to believe is that Zaslav setup Licht as a "marionette" (in the article author's words) so that he could push unpopular changes through at CNN. Licht is made out to be impersonal, impotent and naive. He is both forced to tow the line for the execs above him and suffer the humiliation of being undermined by his underlings. There is the implication that even his greatest failures aren't due to incompetence but due to the meddling that was forced upon him. But Licht genuinely appears to have represented an attempt to move CNN back into a trustworthy news organization. The implication is that such a move is impossible due to the meddling of execs and the entrenched politics in the org.

Every time I read an article in The Atlantic I get the impression that I am staring the Ministry of Truth in the face. We are about to see the media landscape once again reshaped. Articles like this are providing the context for some longer narrative arc that is just beginning to take shape. We all hope that discourse in America is going to return to some kind of moderate center and the rifts between partisan sides will be healed. But this article suggests that things are actually being steered away from that. The resistance to extreme populism is being painted as ineffectual.

I can't blame them. Trump running in 2024 is going to cause quite the stir. There is the fear of an escalation of the kind of events we saw on Jan 6. My impression is that rather than calming things down, the sides are preparing to mobilize.
you are defending the people, not the practices, and I support you there.. economics however, are not physics.. things do change, and change is here.
So if your boss decides to cut your pay by 50% suddenly, that's essentially the same thing with the same options for the employee? Live with it or quit?

There's not contractual obligation on the part of the employer to actually do what they say they will?
It's a scoff at the reason Chromium removed its experimental JPEG XL support.

Well the item most clearly fitting that definition would be this:

In other cases, minors are coerced into producing illicit sexual content, known as sextortion, with a dramatic increase in cases reported by the FBI in the past year.
Which make it even more effective as a trap. If working more or increasing salary means losing your housing and childcare, it is a non-starter.

They could be pressured into taking photos by another person such as an authority figure, which would make it real CSAM. But I'm confident that isn't the case for the overwhelming majority of "SG" consent. I sent and received countless nudes with my smartphone in highschool, of which 0% were nonconsensual.
Well, we've learned that the people in power are immune to criticism and that the democratic process has no ability to constrain them whatsoever.

The problem is they'd actually have to say "Look we know you don't like it, but it's better for me personally as I have substantial personal investments in commercial real estate."

Because it's not even ultimately about corporate profits (outside of real estate companies that is) as real estate holdings these days are largely a cost centre for most companies, and most companies were selling their RE holdings long before remote work was ever a thing and leasing back their offices from the companies they sold them to.

This is ultimately about the personal wealth and power of the elite class, who's wealth is heavily concentrated in real estate. Nobody goes back to the office the companies financials look broadly the same, but the owners / shareholder's personal portfolios look a lot, lot worse.
Or just getting rid of marketing/sales/promotion/update/announcement emails. I regret not having used disposable emails (and phone numbers) for essentially everything ever touching anything involving politics, for example, as that would have kept tens of thousands of bullshit solicitations away from me over the years.
Yep! In California where we live, it typically refers to a seasonal desert stream that can range from a trickle to a torrent. We chose it because Arroyo is a stream processor, and it's very good at autoscaling.
True but contracts aren't everything, just ask everyone else who are the other way. Their contract says they should be working in a specific location, but they'd rather be at home.
This is replacing the originals. If you bought the original on iTunes and try to play it you’ll find your copy has been replaced with an edited version.
GPU programming =/= CPU programming. GPUs don't have complex execution paths with branching, and the programs that run are "memory safe" in the sense of what Rust aims to improve.
Yes, the first of getting replaced makes sense. I think it's more about complementarity. There's not even speaking time in language classes and it's been like this for decades. (Language labs were supposed to make up for it, but I suspect they'll become AI-based… well, like most things )
Very interesting. I was not aware of this part of Portuguese history. Thank you.
Before 2000? Maybe before 2020, but it was hard to be remote-first in 2000!
> I'm also not seeing why a company would care for the health of the commercial real estate sector.

(aside from commercial real estate companies, obviously) Some companies own a lot of their offices, but I don't know how many. I'm guessing it's mostly random mom-and-pops and corporate giants.

I don't buy the argument that it's all about real estate because real estate should have already been marked down on the books, so you're trading potentially higher property value for an increase in opex for utilities, janitorial, etc. Investors prefer the opex win. They didn't buy FooCorp as a commercial real estate play.

I’ll bite… Why?
I'm not sure there is a new algorithmic approach to sorting like you're thinking of. From a high level you can divide sorting algorithms into roughly two camps, "those that use divide-and-conquer", and "those that do not". The divide-and-conquer (split into smaller sub-lists, sort the sub-lists, and merge them while preserving sort order) algorithms are better. From this perspective, algorithms that we think of as quite distinct like quicksort and mergesort are not that different - quicksort just does the "divide" step of divide-and-conquer in a smarter way.

In the end, no matter what divide-and-conquer sorting algorithm you pick, you will be doing lots of "small sorts". And it is those small sorts that DeepMind has optimized here.
The municipality giving the tax breaks doesn't want people to work from home. They want people to go to the office so they buy gas and eat at restaurants and drive up office rent.

But the real issue is what happens when the lease runs out. A company that's using its office as "office available" is really "remote, but with an office that we're staffing for tax breaks to offset the cost of the lease we're stuck in". The tax breaks aren't bigger than the lease, so once they're out from under the lease obligation they switch to 100% remote.

This is actually quite common to optimize stuff in several disciplines. You essentially fit a surrogate model (keyword if you want to look up more) to whatever you want to optimize, then use the model to guide the procedure, making sure that the model is correct every one in a while.

The m1 gpu is broadly equivalent to a gtx 1650 in a host of benchmarks. This is getting less than half the fps a gtx 1650 does at these settings, and I am being charitable.

I don't know why you are looking at 1440p (2560 x 1440) as the m1 here is running at 1440x900. While I'm there, that 6700 XT posts 50fps, half of which is 25fps, which would indeed be alright. However this is putting out less than 15fps most of the time.

Have a nice day.
It would go a long way to merely ban the word “luxury” in marketing.
I've always wondered about this explanation. Commercial Real Estate is a big industry but it's not that big. How can this relatively small tail wag the dog (the enormous US economy)? Real estate may be a cost for companies, but is it really that big, for so many companies, such that they are all operating pretty much in lock-step around WFH vs. Return To Office?
Thanks, this is another way of explaining what I was trying to convey.
Zero proof. If Twitter did have this problem to the degree you claim it should be trivial for you to prove this.

I've been there for 15 years, never saw a single image that didn't pass muster and I've used it very intensively. So, unless you actively went and looked for it I am assuming you would not encounter it. But given the size of Twitter and the fact that any company that hosts images is going to be targeted you can assume that to the degree that it was going on before it is still going on today, only worse because Twitter has far less staff now to take care of these things.

To portray the former Twitter staff as aiding and abetting whilst Elon rode in on his white horse and 'took care of things' is not in line with reality as I perceive it.

And there is some proof that things have gotten worse, not better:

> When the road quality, paint, and signage is decent

True, but the problem is that they're often not. That said, I'd rather see infrastructure spending on maintaining the roads, paint, and signage, than adding features specifically for autonomous driving (that will also likely be unmaintained and become unreliable over time).
This requires a huge grain of salt from Snowden that he means what he says. But we know he lied a few times to journalists and withheld information.

To OP's point though, much of what Snowden took was not shared publicly, but was handed over to the Russian government. So something is not adding up when he says he is only in Russia for self-preservation when he could have had a long and successful career in the US if he had just (actually) raised his ethical complaints and just quit his job.
The tricky bit is there really are people who think that science is "just an opinion, man". See e.g. "teach the controversy" regarding evolution vs. creationism. There's certainly a place for "<X> don't believe in science" and "our laws should be based on science".

But the argument is so often misapplied that it's become meaningless.

I have argued against 5G deployment for example, not based on outlandish "zomg Bill Gates George Soros mindcontrol!!!11" or "brain tumours!!!11" nonsense, all of that is clearly nonsense. But the science is a lot less clear that there are zero effects than is sometimes made out to be, and there are also the ethical considerations of informed consent. I was, of course, immediately lobbed in with the crazies and called a science-denying conspiracy theorist, by someone with no expertise in the field who said I need to "listen to the science", in spite of my argument looking nothing like the anti-scientific nonsense from David Icke and the like.

Don't even get me started on COVID – any attempt to inject even the slightest sort of nuance was met with "you are literally murdering people with your unscientific nonsense!" and you were immediately lobbed in with COVID-denying anti-maskers or whatnot. At some point this stopped being a debate about trade-offs involving science and medicine on one hand and basic liberties and freedoms on the other and became some sort of moral crusade (and it seems it still is; there was a conference this month where masks at all times, full proof of vaccination, and a PCR test was still required, which seems a bit much for 2023).

A big issue is that any sort of nuance is often met with the most uncharitable interpretation because the genuinely crazy people have been getting so much attention.

The narrative that Han unification is this thing imposed by ignorant westerners on East Asian computer users is simply not true. The criteria for which characters were unified was mostly based on the criteria used in legacy East Asian encodings, which already had to deal with the question of what counts as the same character and what does not.

Unicode has round trip compatibility with the old encodings, too, without the use of any of that extra metadata, which is only used for incredibly minor character variations which are pretty much never semantically meaningful the way capitalization is. A human copyist might change one for another in copying a text by hand, just as when copying English, you do not consider it semantically meaningful whether lowercase “a” is drawn as a circle and a line, or a circle and a hook.

Don't know how it works in the US, but in the UK the commercial tenant is responsible for shopfitting (and they'd better restore it exactly how it was when they leave!) and maintenance. The commercial landlord of a salon I help with does absolutely nothing, barring taking the rent each month.
> There's a place for this, and I think it's fine as long as we're not replacing the originals.

When the film is copyrighted (as The French Connection is for the next 45 years), it is effectively replacing the originals.

So far this change only seems to have been made to streamed copies. Physical copies are unaffected so far, but the next physical release may well be censored too, meaning the original out‐of‐print edition will only be legally available through deteriorating secondhand copies. Refer to theatrical Star Wars for another example of that kind of erasure (by the original creator, no less).
I'd be really cautious against reading too much into this. I think often times with this type of polling data, when you dig into the details you find that people aren't as far apart as you might think, but it's more that people tend to focus on different parts of how the question is asked.

The original survey data is at https://www.cato.org/blog/nearly-third-gen-z-favors-home-gov... (I'd also note this post is from the libertarian Cato Institute, so it's important to understand where their motivation comes from). The exact question was "Would you favor or oppose the government installing surveillance cameras in every household to reduce domestic violence, abuse, and other illegal activity?" It's not hard for me to think that younger people, many of whom just went through years of "Zoom school" and essentially had governmental authority piped into their homes, would just focus on "sure, reducing domestic violence and abuse is a good thing". Alternatively, you see that minorities, particularly African Americans are much more in favor than white Americans (33% vs. 9%). It's possible some people are coming at this from the point of view of "yeah, this would be like police body cameras ensuring that I'm not the victim of false reporting."

I don't mean to whitewash the differences, and as someone who thinks the idea of government installing cameras in your home is the absolute definition of "the end of the free world", I don't mean to minimize it. But I think you might get very different responses if you just asked "Would you favor or oppose the government installing surveillance cameras in every household?" without the rationale behind it. I also think that if you dug into it and asked people follow up questions (e.g. "Where should these cameras be installed") you would get more agreement.

I guess my overall point is that I think the differences in responses have more to do with how people interpret the question (though it's certainly fair to be concerned about that) than more fundamental differences around "comfort with government in my bedroom" that the Cato Institute's interpretation might lead one to believe.
It's my lone complaint with Colemak is that Windows still doesn't include it out-of-the-box and needs it to be admin-installed from an MSI bundle that needs to be downloaded (or copied from a thumb drive). Every other modern OS includes it today (including iOS).

I don’t remember when it was, many years ago but I believe it was during a presidential election cycle that cnn went with a painfully contrived holographic appearance of one of their anchors and spent a bunch of time hyping it up…

it was pointless time wasting and utterly useless for viewers but must have sounded cool to some exec. It was almost painful to watch and I’m sure cost them oodles of money.

That’s basically cnn for the past decade.

I can see how a CEO would look at a long term lease and regret the financial commitment and then see in person as more compelling to not have as much regret. That seems plausible, but foolish, because of the sunk cost fallacy. I can't see how commercial real estate companies losing money would compel most businesses to take this approach. I can see how JP Morgan would promote this, hoping it would help other companies make the same decision, and therefore avoid a commercial real estate (and related loans for JP Morgan) collapse.

But the average company has no potential tax breaks, has the potential to save money by getting rid of their office space, and doesn't care about the financial outcomes of large real estate investors or lenders.

I think they believe returning to the office is good. I would agree with them that some things are hard to replicate in a remote environment. It's hard to brainstorm a new project in a Zoom call.

But I think many prefer an in person work setup because they are bad managers. Bad managers are not good at setting a vision for a company or building in organic, helpful checkpoints for progress and accountability. They don't actually state what anyone at the company should be doing. Expectations are often unclear. These bad managers have very little way of knowing if their employees are working.

So they go the lazy route and use presence and the appearance of busyness, in the office, as a poor stand in for good management. There are benefits of being in-person. But whenever I see a decree for in person work, I think it's usually just poor leadership.

I would say the best dynamic for most, not all, companies is a remote work environment where people can get together as needed. Well before the pandemic I worked at GitHub. At GitHub we worked remotely but we got together often to have a hack house where we worked together solving a problem that needed brainstorming or deep thinking. I saw my fellow employees often. It was the best of both worlds. A remote first company with opportunities to get together as needed is the gold standard. A fully in person is too extreme. A fully remote company without the chance to get together is also a poor experience and is very isolating. Both too far on either side of the spectrum.
Because the company owner has a habit of lying when he breathes? And because as a very long time (16 years) fairly fanatical Twitter user I haven't come across a single problematic image. That doesn't mean that they weren't there, just that you had to go out of your way to locate them and that at least from my perspective the Twitter staff was doing a reasonably good job at policing this. Was it perfect? No, probably not, but at Twitters' scale it's all statistics.
I'm also generally less offended by "dumb" advertising, where everybody consuming the same media receives the same advertisements. It doesn't contribute to a surveillance capitalism dystopia to nearly the same degree as the carefully chosen for you advertising schemes.

There is a book called "The Mom Test" that has this perspective.
The accelerometer exactly matches wheel rotation rate when you are driving in a straight line on a planar surface[1] in a vehicle with no toe. This is rarely the case: roads aren't perfectly flat, and outside of North America, aren't even remotely straight in most circumstances, and the handling characteristics of 0 toe are terrible. Granted, the inaccuracy from non-planarity of the road is minimal, but building an accurate enough model of tire slip from steering geometry is hard, and changes based on the level of wear on the tires, their temperature, and the road conditions, and the deviation between acceleration and wheel telemetry adds up very quickly.

So yes, you absolutely do need an IMU for self-driving.
What GPU acceleration should be good for in a terminal?
