Summary:

AVX-512 adds many instructions that can replace what used to take 3 less efficient instructions.

This instruction set also double the number of available SIMD (single instruction multiple data) registers.

Those instructions are very useful on 128 bits vectors. And not a lot of people actually need 512 bit vectors.

Because of the number of registers and 512 bits width, it takes a lot of space in silicon. This makes it costly, and so is reserved for more expensive CPUs.

Had it been limited to, or also offered in a 256 bits version, this instruction set would have most likely be included in many more CPUs. Making it much more useful.

If you wrote your app from the start to be cross platform, it's not that much extra work to port it across.
A daily aspirin may lead to anemia in older adults, study says
I’ve wondered the same on the constant IR flashes from FaceID.

It doesn’t seem like it should be a problem compared to going outside in the sun, but it is a bit unsettling to see how bright and frequent the flashes are (a Nest camera pointed at a dark room shows them clearly).
If there is a genuine story here, please link to coverage on an actual news site rather than somebody's wacky blog masquerading as one.
Can someone explain to me the context for the other side of this? I've always wondered what the good-faith argument for more tracking is.
Sounds like you're in a prime position to go off grid.
That’s not even possible because azure will require you to verify ownership of “subdomain.mybrand.com” by setting a custom TXT value on it. That TXT value is tied to your subscription. So even if you had verified ownership for “subdomain.mybrand.com” before and just left the TXT value there, then deleted the “app-contogreat-dev-001.azurewebsites.net” and someone else created it. traffic for “subdomain.mybrand.com” won’t flow there until you update the TXT record for the new subscription. Obviously you wouldn’t notice that if you recreated the app in the same anccount and got confused and published a bogus vulnerability report. Or if your attacker has access to your subscription too.
I think you two are actually on the same page— their critique is of the nested block version of the proposal that OP prefers, not the the actual stage 3 proposal.
The theory requires appropriately high land value taxes. If land owners can simply hold onto land for cheap, and let the rest of society pay disproportionately more for their land’s security via cops and courts, then they are under no rush to sell.
They're kind-of falling into the trap that a lot of Bitcoin proponents have. Decentralization is great for limiting the control of a single entity. A centralized service is still much more usable.

The approach you suggest is, I believe, the answer. Provide a service that makes it all seem like one thing. The user doesn't have to know unless the centralizer misbehaves, but if that happens the decentralized back end would allow people to go elsewhere, In-turn the ability to go elsewhere keeps the centralizer honest.

The same could maybe be done with Bitcoin. Perhaps one day, after all of the hype and snake-oil fades away there might be entities that do a similar service hiding the back-end. We'd probably call them Banks.
then they have to manage the property as well

Programming with ADHD: The Good, the Bad and the Hyperfocus
I decided I was going to learn a little bit of programming as a hobby because I was extremely bored, and have found it to unexpectedly be an extraordinarily comforting activity that triggers a dangerous level of hyperfocus - where I, 1. Get extremely time blind, and 2. Find it difficult to stop in order to do other important life things like turning up to work.
How do people with ADHD manage this?
These were essentially secured loans offered by the bank against funds that had already been deposited. I'm definitely not a fan of Cayman Island banking nonsense, but it seems rather unfair to seize the deposited funds that secured the loan and still try to enforce repayment.
‘Drinkflation’ comes for the British pint
This article feels like rich people who were trying to get around US law/regulations/taxes now wanting the protections afforded by it.

They deposited money in SVB's Cayman Islands subsidiary (a country that's a well-known tax haven). SVB goes under and the Cayman Islands have no deposit insurance so their deposits are wiped out. Now they want their money back or their debt forgiven. The SVB Cayman deposits didn't pay into the FDIC insurance fund so they shouldn't be given the protection of the FDIC.

The title of the article makes it sound like some poor SVB "customers" are in a bad situation. The truth is that it's going to be venture capital, private equity, and some really wealthy individuals (who were probably trying to dodge taxes). It's hard to feel bad for extremely rich people using a well-known tax haven losing some money. The WSJ is really burying the lead in this story. If you're trying to avoid US laws, regulations, and taxes, you can't come looking for US protections.

EDIT: In a previous article on the topic, the WSJ noted "The financial pain being felt by SVB’s foreign depositors could make investment firms that are incorporated or doing business in offshore financial hubs reconsider where they should put their money and what protections they have" https://www.wsj.com/articles/cayman-islands-regulator-explor...

We don't want to incentivize people to dodge taxes while thinking they'll enjoy all the protections paid for by taxes.
I’ve seen such a distinction before, but I’ve been around telescopes and particle accelerators. Single system, but different roles in the same system with a different UI.
This is a good reply. I say you should write the blog post!

It's been some time since I used vanilla GNOME, so I don't know how much of what I recall about GNOME applies to the latest vanilla experience.

The main one of those I'd miss or reach for is menu bar searching. That's probably my favorite feature of macOS!

> No ability to assign/remap key shortcut for any menu item, including in third party apps

I suspect there's not a good way for GNOME to offer this, unfortunately. Menu bar implementations are multiple on Linux, not singular like on macOS.

> Minimize and zoom/maximize buttons are hidden without GNOME Tweaks

That is absolutely wild. All the time? Until mouseover?

Sorry for neglecting other items! They do sound potentially annoying, but don't stick out to me as much as the things I replied about.

I think your proposed attack vector would look more like this:

Scammer: Madam, go into your settings and enable side loading. It will then connect to your bank account and I will…

Madam: Okay uuuuh... A big popup came up... It says... That I should not enable this setting unless I really know what I'm doing... And if someone is telling me to enable it then I should hang up the phone!!
What strikes me most powerfully when interacting with the LLMs is that, unlike virtually ever other computer system I've ever used, the bots are extremely forgiving of mistakes, disfluencies, typos, and other errors I make when I'm typing. The bot usually figures out what I mean and tells me what I want to know.
Maybe you can post a reference to the corresponding interview or article.
There is a lot of truth in what the Author wrote, however he completely missed the MVVM pattern and confused it with MVC.

The MVVM pattern, originally designed by MSFT for Silverlight, showed a way that basically cleaned up a lot of the issues with MVC.

That is what SwiftUI uses today, MVVM, as you can compare with his diagram of what he calls "Apple's MVC" and this diagram from MSFT: [1].

In fact, I'd go out on a limb and say that no one really uses MVC today - in its pure original form.

You put into words the things I've noticed UIs evolving away from.

It just feels like UIs of software 10,20, even 30 years ago were designed for "operators", people that actually worked with the software for hours at end, and so with a little bit of learning you could be dancing with keybindings and doing stuff as fast as CLI nerds.

Nowadays most seems to be optimized for first hour of use of new user and not much else, and the exceptions are software made "by operators, for operators", like for example KiCAD.

The same devs who work on the Lemmy core and UI, also do Jerboa on the side. It's not their focus and given the sudden influx of users they likely won't have a lot of time to devote to it. https://beehaw.org/c/jerboa@lemmy.ml

When buying basic food ingredients, lower calorie isn't better.

It's pretty hard to eat in a surplus if you're cooking from scratch, for the most part people who are intuitively eating (e.g. not tracking calories) mostly get into trouble via packaged foods, fast food, soda etc.
Implementing the code part of leverage is trivial if you understand what it is. Getting the risk management correct and following regulations is far more difficult.

Here’s how it works in a very simplified model (I assume BitMex works like this except they charge a borrow fee that I left out of my explanation)

Customer wants $1,000 of exposure to an asset by putting up $100 of margin at 10x leverage.

You lend $900 to the customer and with their $100, buy/sell $1,000 of the underlying.

Now you monitor their position. If the underlying moves against them by 10% and their margin deposit is gone, liquidate their position.

You would accomplish this by buying/selling the now $900 of the asset they bought/sold $1,000 of with leverage. If their liquidation caused you to receive less than the $900 you lent to them back, debit the difference from their account. If you receive more than $900 back, then you didn’t lose anything. Good job.

If they don’t liquidate by losing their margin and instead successfully close with a profit, they would get back their $100 + profit - fees, and you would get your $900 back, plus any fees/interest you charged for borrowing money.
I suspect a big part of it was that voters didn't seriously consider that Boris Johnson might have been lying to them when he said it would be good.

Exaggerate, embellish, etc., sure, but not outright lie.
> I've come to think of open source software as just a wealth transfer from developers to corporations at the former's expense.

It's the reverse: corporations pay for most OSS software development. Where individual developers do it, it's voluntary. If your summary were true and complete, how would you explain either of those sentences?
Given that in plenty of locations in the developed world you can now no longer function as a normal member of society without internet access because everything has gone online it makes good sense that it should be. Paper is pretty much done for, invoices are all pdfs, banking and interaction with the government on all levels is all online.
I can only assume this will be appealed until the end of days. Realistically I don't expect this to be completely resolved before the end of the decade. I'm also not sure where/how Google can divest in terms of it's Advertising company(ies).

Do you just spin off the ad services? Adwords? Are they a shared unit... would it then still be a monopoly, just incentivized to work with more than just google directly?

If you did try to break apart the Ads business units, where/how would you split. It's more entrenched and entwined than anything similar that I'm even aware of. The baby bells had nothing on this in terms of scope. This is international business of the majority of online advertising. Would this leave room for upstart marketplaces?

I can imagine this will only get worse with more nested layers of IFrames under IFrames sharing data across many networks.
Fascinating. I wonder why intel never released “AVX256”. Was it to drive adoption of their new extra wide SIMD hardware? Do the extra instructions add a lot of complexity outside of just the increased register size?

Either way I recently had to write a SIMD implementation in both SSE (Intel) and Neon (Arm). This was my first time writing SIMD. I found the neon instruction set much more intuitive and complete than SSE. There are all these weird limitations in SSE (such as trying to do a reduction sum across a vector or shifting across vectors) that made it feel incomplete. Never had a chance to try out AVX.
The way goodwill was explained to me is:

If you buy Coca-Cola Corporation you get tangible assets like the manufacturing plants and work in progress which can be valued fairly simply. But you also buy the Coca-Cola brand, which is intangible and difficult to value.

And yet it obviously has value - nobody thinks the value of Coca-Cola is entirely in its bottling plants.

So we just kinda say, "I guess it's worth what you just paid for it" and put it in the accounts as the difference between the purchase price and the value of the assets that can be valued.
I've been to China 7 times in the last 20 years and never been placed in any constraint of need here. No employer, or travel advisory has ever been placed on me or recommended to me. I was not issued a burner phone or laptop. Ever.

One meeting I went to in Nepal, the attendee from a US company had a personal minder (with gun) and car. That's about as close as I've come to a heightened sense of need facing attendance at standards and policy meetings internationally.

So maybe to YOU this is unremarkable. My anecdata is that it's more said, than done. However some people who work in these fields are placed under specific requirement. Perhaps it goes to your seniority and importance: I am glad I've never been held to that burden in 42 years.

That part of the article is wrong- I just opened my copy of Ben Rich's memoirs and it says they needed alloy, not ore. Apparently their US supplier had insufficient quantities.

I think it’s more the Apollo 1 door opening to the inside and secured by nonexplosive bolts, rather than the spuriously blown door on Liberty Bell 7.

FWIW, while NASA may had thrown him under the bus, his comrades in the astronaut corps believed him. Wally Schirra on Sigma 7, refused to blow the door until the capsule was on the Kearsarge. When he climbed out, he showed the bruise on his hand — the same bruise every one got when they pushed the escape button. The same bruise Grissom did not have.

From the title I was first expecting some kind of educational material, but then I saw the link and knowing that Ghidra itself is for the most part written in Java I thought then that it would be about Java internals used by the debugger portion of Ghidra. Happy to learn that it is indeed educational material as I have only scratched the surface of Ghidra myself and have a lot to learn about it.
I feel like this current migrant “crisis” in the Mediterranean will pale in comparison to the mass exodus that will occur in the coming decades as more equatorial countries experience extreme weather events.

Sure, Brexit wasn't good for the EU either. It's a negative-sum event.

That's in addition to the sudden shock from the invasion of Ukraine, making it politically necessary to switch fuel even at cost which your linked article starts with.
Significant omission in article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazakhstan_man-in-the-middle...

The Kazakhstan government has attempted on multiple occasions to require trust of their own CA, and to proxy all traffic in and out of the country, and probably to enable snooping on all network activity at will.

Which, I mean, the US was doing prior to the widespread adoption of TLS.
Looks like people once again are trying to make very complicated measurements that micromanage workers instead of using classical approaches like "The iron triangle of project management" - good, fast and cheap.

Why is there no tool that shows a triangle with features, bugs and support quality. Because it would obviously show that there are no new features, terrible support and tons of bugs. Everyone is doing everything except the job that needs to be done. They do it to meet the requirements of newly created 20 indicators. And who is to blame for this ? Obviously not management, they just sit and watch indicators waiting to send those who are underperforming on the bar charts to the HR department for a little talk.

Splendid

For one, because if there are enough people to pay higher prices, the market will reflect that and the locals will have to deal with the new costs despite the fact that there are no local jobs paying enough to afford these things. So yeah for people who are already merchants (likely a minority) it's great; everyone else gets poorer. Thus, inequality increases. This is already playing out in US cities.
They could get air.
Didn't some of the DEC Alpha and IBM Power designs use a cached register-file for lack of a better terminology. Allowing them to support more architectural state than the wide multi-ported register file could fit? Would a small double/quad pumped AVX-512 implementation with a dual ported register file + caching/queuing the recently produced results at the functional units that produced them safe die size and still allow useful throughput?

You didn't understand my comment. There is a difference between distinctly man-made gods and gods that are not man-made. Some ideas and literal objects such as your government, the United Nations, any church, Spiderman, the US Dollar, the British pound, and AI are all man made, and no sane person would deny that. Even so, many people show religious loyalty and worship towards some of those entities, and they will also towards AI.

People enjoy casual risk-taking.

If I had the 125k to dish out for this experience, I probably would have done so myself.

George H.W. Bush went to Yale. His son, George W. Bush went to Harvard.

I'm not trying to excuse, or minimize, Kaczynski's crimes. I am asking you to understand that in the case of revolutionaries and political leaders, the difference between heroes and terrorists is ultimately decided by the people of the future. It is very easy to see serial killers and bomb makers as individually evil, because its a very personal sort of violence, and the motivations are expressed and enacted on a very personal level.

But how do you deal with more indirect motivations and indirect violence? Was Churchill's inaction during the Bengal famine murder? What about all the collateral damage during Bush's tenure with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Is Barack Obama a murderer for ordering the death of Anwar Al-Awlaki? Or was it the drone operator who followed the order?

This is to say nothing of the original comment, that Kaczynski did less damage than the average Harvard grad (depicted as someone in finances. The extent to which working in finances causes damage and death is, I think, a lot less direct than even the damage done by a head of state enacting national policy).

I don't think Kaczynski did the right thing, or that his underlying motivations were even coherent, let alone morally correct. Do not misunderstand me. But if we're stack-ranking history's greatest monsters (and Harvard graduates), actual effectiveness counts at least as much as intent.
I used Rome as a focal point. Most Archeology european english speaking people will encounter outside of the long barrows and dolmen of Western Europe is immediate pre-Roman, Roman, or post Roman. Sure, we have long barrows and other pre-roman "stuff" but the vast bulk of excavations now in the UK (for instance) tends to be roman or post-roman, along the route of the HS2 and similar city bound brownfield site development.

I would be surprised if the digs in mainstream Europe routinely turn up a lot of earlier culture: I would expect the opportunistic emergency archeology associated with building and civil engineering is the predominant source of finds, and they tend to be .. well .. roman or post roman.

But your point is well made. History of trade didn't start with Roman conquests or failures, and people sailed the Black sea long long before the Romans got there.

Sure: Euro-centric, western culture centric PoV. I wrote from personal interest. I am sure there is a a shitload of great non-roman Archeology going on outside of the places I know.
