A couple of years ago I used to mountainbike quite seriously and commute 14km round-trip to university. I have since then switched first to commuting on a scooter, then to a OneWheel, and most recently to an electric longboard. I would never go back to a bike for commuting for a number of reasons:

1. I cannot bring the bike in to many places such as the office or the gym, it must be parked outside exposed to the elements. On the other hand, scooter, wheel, and longboard can all easily be picked up and carried indoors basically everywhere, including public transit, shops, gym, and office.

2. The bike requires physical effort, which is great if you're biking for fitness, but when I'm commuting somewhere I don't like to have to shower as soon as I get there.

3. Onewheels and skateboards in particular are so much more fun to ride than bikes on regular roads. (Bikes are still way superior on trails and mountains though).

I did absolutely enjoy my time with some onewheels, but I did experience a "sideplant" on a climb when I likely exceeded either the torque of current limit when I absolutely never expected it (and got no warning either). Definitely not fun.

I never had issues when playing with it even at top speed and hitting an obstacle, as the extremely low platform and modest top velocity meant I could always recover by scrambling forward and propelling with the front feet. The real problem happens when not expecting it, like when I was slowly climbing, and even at zero speed the fall can be nasty. I never lowered my attention even for a split second on the onewheel after this.

I never had a chance to try an EUC, but due to how the legs are used for support, I can't see the same as a recover possibility. If the EUC fails, faceplant seems inevitable.

As for the "pushback", the effect on the onewheel is extremely noticeable and didn't feel the need for an additional auditory sound. The problem, as stated by OP, is that you can have failure modes where the motor stops supporting you before "pushback" (or even sound) kicks you in.

Leslie Lamport definitely doesn’t share your opinion. A known fact about the Paxos paper is that there are no dumbed down summaries worth reading because the proper thing is so approachable.

As another example, in April this year, Washington generated 73% of its electricity from non-carbon sources (Hydro, Other Renewables, and Nuclear). This number varies throughout the year of course. Some months have Hydroelectric production alone as high as 80% of the state's total generation.

Also AVX-10, E-cores and P-cores having 512 bits vector registers (see the last references).
+ Two-byte REX2 prefix that replaces the REX prefix (and 0F prefix).

REX2 is D5 + a byte that is a lot like the lower nibble of a REX prefix, only twice as big.

It has two extra bits for the up to three registers that can be named in normal x86 instructions: either two registers or a register operand and a memory operand that can use two registers + a displacement for the memory address.

It also contains the W bit like REX does (64-bit).

It also has a bit called M0 that indicates whether the instruction is in opcode map 0 (primary opcode map) or opcode map 1 (0F opcode map).

That means that a REX2 instruction from opcode map 1 takes the same number of bytes as a REX instruction from opcode map 1. Instructions from opcode map 0 are one byte longer with REX2 than with REX.

Some of the normal ALU instructions also get an EVEX encoding (in map 4). That allows for a different data destination than before (separate from source the operand(s)). It also allows for ALU instructions that don't change the flags, which must be really nice for the out of order/data forwarding circuitry.

It seems like most of these new instructions and registers correspond to the original armv8 base isa. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suppose that's not an accident. Does anyone know why Intel thinks x86 needs them?

Is the goal here to increase the decode bandwidth of Intel CPUs?

Is the goal to reduce demands on load-store units by increasing the number of registers?

Are they hoping to make it easier to port or JIT armv8 asm to Intel CPUs?

For the experiment in section 5.3, where they try to recover private information from embeddings of clinical notes, it's interesting that the model has to also spend capacity trying to reconstruct non-private information. I wonder if you could do better at recovering names by first learning a custom distance metric that tries to assign a low distance to embeddings of texts that share a name, regardless of other content, and then using this method to minimize that distance.

I find the pricing structure a little odd. I think it's expensive for individuals (selfishly, as this is the group I would be in), and it seems way cheap to me for advisors. I'm admittedly not in the financial world, but I would think the value-add for advisors would make this a no-brainer.
I think the biggest factor is knowing how to fall, and I'm glad they included it, although I wish it was at the top because in my experience it's so important, and potentially applies to any situation in life where accidents can happen, not just when you're padded up for action sports.

Of course, knowing how fall comes with a strong intuition about when you're going too fast to manage a fall without serious injury. How fast is too fast is particular to the individual and their experience.

I agree. I would also position that for some, it may be less a case of 'attention deficit' and more 'attention prudent'. There is way too much garbage content out there and information overload can easily lead to processing overload. Not speaking to the very real medical conditions out there but to societal generalizations - I place a very high personal value on my time and have little tolerance for wasting it on content I feel is uninspired and/or lacking depth or any sense of meaning to me.

Then there is the issue of there being a high quantity of such damn good quality content out there (curses, HN). In that case, its just too much to ingest while working to maintain other forms of focus in life.

I would hate to get an interview question where the very premise of it is wrong. Python does have mutable arguments, but so does Ruby.

def func(arr=[])
# Look ma we mutated it.
arr.append 1
puts arr
end

Why calling this function a few times outputs [1], [1],... instead of [1], [1, 1],... isn't because Ruby somehow made the array immutable and hid it with copy-on-write or anything like that. It's because Ruby, unlike Python, has default expressions instead of default values. Whenever the default it needed Ruby reevaluates the expression in the scope of the function definition and assigns the result to the argument. If your default expression always returned the same object you would fall
into the same trap as Python.

The sibling comment is wrong too -- it is a local variable, or as much one as Python can have since all variables, local or not, are names.

Godaddy just stole my domain
I wanted to share a concerning experience we recently had with our domain name on the GoDaddy platform. A few days ago, we purchased a domain for our business for 10$. The transaction went smoothly, and the domain was added to our account.

However, to our astonishment, we later discovered that the domain had been removed from our account and was put back on sale by GoDaddy at an outrageously higher price 2000$.

We had genuine intentions to use the domain for our business endeavors. We followed all the proper procedures, paid the required amount, and were under the impression that the domain was rightfully ours.

It really seems like the domain has been taken away from us to be resold at a much higher price.

We have all the necessary documentation to prove our rightful ownership of the domain (bank statement, screenshots).

At this point, we have reached out to GoDaddy's customer support and are awaiting their response to rectify the situation promptly.

Can we do anything else?

Note that this is the raw number, it doesn't account for the low capacity factor of wind and solar. In other word it doesn't account for the fact that solar doesn't produce power at night, etc. So it might not be 25% of the energy produced. Although it'll probably get close -- the capacity factor of other sources is well below 100% and dropping quickly because of competition from cheaper sources like wind & solar. For example, the capacity factor of coal plants in the US is only 60%, not much better than wind's.

While it gives a nice approach to generate data for parameters with which functions can be tested, I have doubt about the correctness of returned values of say mocked functions. Since this is not a TDD approach, and relies on correctness of functions - function callers etc. in production, how reliably can we say that the generated mock data based upon monitored data in production is correct? What I mean to say is, a corrupt function will give corrupt outputs, be it in prod or dev env. Isn’t it more reliable to have the code author write mock functions?

I've been at big tech companies for most of my career and I've never seen anyone deny the existence of a technical bug.

> extends the number of addressable GPRs to 32 from 16

I have always been curious as to why the number of GPRs were limited for so long on X86 given that the instruction set is already variable length, and the CPU have typically a very large number of internal arch-register that could be cheaply addressed.

Having looked at the pain of developing a good register allocate in LLVM, and how critical memory access can me in hot/tight loops i would have loved to have even more register something closer to 64 or 128, and let the cpu manage the spilling internally.

> Python arguments are evaluated when the function definition is encountered

This is a giant pain. Easy to miss. Sometimes forces you to deal with Optional[Something] instead of just Something.

Compare with Julia where default arguments are evaluated ... very late:

julia> f(a, b, c, d = a * b * c) = d
f (generic function with 2 methods)

julia> f("hello", " ", "world")
"hello world"

that's really neat.

60%.

60% of men are supposed to be sexless.

The reason we know this is because all of humanity descended from only 40% of the men to have ever lived. The rest might have had sex, but they never fathered children. Most men have died in warfare or to disease or starvation or being trampled by a woolly mammoth or were just plain "not good enough" for women.

80% of women have a living descendant today.

And all this proves is what every "manosphere" personality jabbers on about nonstop... women are the gatekeepers of sex and men are the gatekeepers of relationships.
