IMO, “Single cancer cell” isn’t really a the unit. Solid tumors act more like a mini organ with different types of cells having roles: driving blood supply, immune suppression, or enabling and executing metastasis are examples.
Cancer isn’t sentient, but life finds a way.
Fu*k cancer.
I've built some apps using native web components. It is nice to not have any front end dependencies that need to be updated.
Wow, I'm impressed.

I've been toying around with some prototypes to use AI and LLMs for hardware / chip design but at the HLS level using C++ rather than the HDL level using Verilog. This domain is just over the edge of what LLMs know about to spit out working, reasonable, and expert source code. This is the first public LLM/AI tool that has actually provided HLS code without needing extensive hand-holding.

Even more so, it is the best example I've seen that links high-level algorithms (from papers) or design concepts (from textbooks or online sources) to actual implementation (from documentation) without any concept based on the web access feature. In my own experiment with prompt engineering for hardware designs, I've always had to provide LLMs with a lot of context and they still often fail in this domain.

I will be toying around with this and I hope to see more in the future!

Edit: I just noticed the founders are in here. I am a PhD student and I would love to give detailed beta feedback in exchange for free credits to use this tool in my day-to-day research!
>I agree that Linux is still larger than a microkernel, but very few users have a bloated kernel in RAM due to lack of customizations.

Most users run the distribution's kernel.
I gave up a high-end consultancy job because I felt like I had no ownership. But I know others at that job who love that they can help lots of different orgs. I think this mindset is just one you either have or don't have.
Marvel is a showoff, but besides that, VFX are everywhere, and not just for flashy magic.

Practical effects, large sets, location shots, live animals, large crowds, etc... are really expensive and/or hard to work with. That's why VFX are used, and done well, you don't even notice and it makes for a better movie for the budget.
Okay, but Android literally is a Linux distro, or family of distros perhaps. I'm happy to agree that we really need better terminology, but the answer is better terminology, not less precise terminology.

- "Linux" is bad because Android is Linux.

- "GNU/Linux" doesn't quite work because 1. ChromeOS is GNU/Linux and 2. Alpine isn't.

- "mainline Linux" is a thing we want, but still separate - I'd take Droidian with a hacked-up vendor kernel over a Pixel running an official Android image on mainline Linux any day.

The best I've been able to come up with is something like "user-controlled Linux" or "community OS" or even just "not Android", but I'd really prefer a better term.
These are anti union talking points and only a single one has a grain of truth. If you are certain the others are reasonable, please prove it.

> Conversely, what happened if a new-hire lacked qualifying experience and you wanted to bring them on below the pre-defined salary bracket?

The goal of a union is the antithesis to this question. They enforce a minimum standard of pay and work conditions.
A union represents the employee, and if that employee is prevented from securing a position unfairly, or that employee is abused while in that position, it's entirely on the union to represent that employee and demand a resolution.

This entire discussion revolves around a fictitious VFX union resolving abuses within the industry... so why would SAG receive a pass?

The SAG pretended like none of this was happening. We probably only know about the tip of the abusive-iceberg countless actresses endured.
>Beef up black start capability for energy grids, so that in the event of a major failure, power is 90% back up in an hour. Test this annually.

From the hypothetical scenarios detailed after the Texas winter shutdown a few years ago, this rule sounds unhinged from reality without mucho mucho dollars. Up to an including spare power plant(s) "just in case" a black start would be required.

I could believe it takes multiple hours just to fully start a single coal plant. Let alone align the frequencies across multiple stations in the grid.
> but WHY are they agreeing to this?

Probably did not.

As someone else pointed out if your are contracted to a studio, and the studio goes out of business, you will not get paid.

It does not have to be like that...
I don't know, but I hope the efforts to drive application-level power management somehow lead to power management improvements when using gnome on a laptop as well.

For reference, macOS introduced some APIs intended to improve power management around 2016 when the fanless usb-c MacBook Air came out.
Oh, you may be surprised by the number of perfectly avoidable, not even cost-saving stupid things that cause train accidents around the world.

The GP has a point. If the trip is necessary, planes are probably the safest way to do it. And as they become unsafe, the alternatives are prone to doing the same on an even quicker rate.
> "on june 23-24 absolutely nothing happened in russia" didn't came to existence by accident

How exactly did it come to existance though? It honestly feels like some kind of gaslighting. Putin did a whole speach on TV and this was a hot topic for weeks. Popular Z-bloggers were all over this matter even longer.

Prigozhins hairwigs meme didnt come to existence by accident either, you know.

I really feel like you might want to reconsider interactig with Russian media through what I assume are 3rd-party reports.

I’m sure Google displays those prompts in every browser. What I responded to was this though:

> because the companies controlling the browsers want to use them to harass us too.

The way I read that is the companies controlling the browsers want to use them to harass us on their domains inside their browsers, so the equivalent would Apple doing something equivalent in Safari or Mozilla doing something equivalent in Firefox. Google does this though, I’m unsure about others but inside the browsers I listed I’m not seeing the equivalent behavior, and in those browsers, Google is just another domain, not the browser vendor per se.

Though I should correct myself on this front since I’m here: Arc required an account for me to use it and I just plain forgot. They’re very upfront about this during setup though, so I wouldn’t call that harassment, and I don’t know if they still do for the final release.
Let's also not forget that Zoom's internal processes and engineering standards for security were so poor that Apple implemented the rarely-used malware removal tool, because they screwed up their client software so badly:

Even that's optimistic. I'd say "its best guess as the truth" should read "its best guess at what you will accept as the truth". It will be entirely about what sucks in the individual.
People used to sell this sort of information, it was the classic digital multi level marketing scam without the overarching marketing company. There were ads on YouTube google and Amazon all the time for get my book about how to successfully make money self publishing books on Amazon… people bought it tried to do the harder part of writing stuff then eventually some decided they could crib the book that convinced them to do it in the first place and plagiarised/rehashed the material and wrote the next generation of how to make money writing books to self publish on Amazon and the cycle would continue, slowly growing as more customers fell for the cheap garbage books and the promise of easy income…

Then large language models utterly annihilated this as it becomes obvious that you just write spam books and hope people buy them, job done…

Kind of amazing to see thevalue collapse reaching a new phase, where the only reliable way to drive sales for garbage books is to try and parasitically leach reputation by pretending a real author who has a real reputation is the author of the garbage book.
Yeah, until someone creates a website that just ships the products they say they have, and people type in the URL for the site directly and shop there?

If online shopping were truly such a terribly scammy UX in 100% of cases people would stop using it or shift to shopping from trusted sellers who recognize the tremendous amount of value they can capture by not scamming people.
How would that stop people from getting ripped off by fakes?
The difference is in why they are going to Hawaii. Mimetic and status driven reasons suggest groupthink.

I bought a physical copy of Dive into Python. Gave it up after one or two chapters and just bought dabeaz's reference instead.

I'm not the only one with a negative reaction towards the choice of Roman numerals!
I am reminded of this thread I came across when Bram Moolenaar died the other day: https://groups.google.com/g/vim_dev/c/ivkq22t3LQM . Choice quotes:

> It will be good if someone can suggest the git
commands for that.

> I tried creating diffs from the tagged commits, but those
are a bit messy too. I'll not try to fix more, unless someone can tell
me the git commands that will make something better.

Consider that even the creator of Vim, a text editor so esoteric that the running joke is that no one even knows how to exit it at first, was repeatedly asking for help with Git commands. Let that sink in.
Aside from the 80/20 conventional measures I mentioned (beneficiaries, institution checklist) I'd probably go for:

1. Hire a law firm with instructions to deliver an envelope in the event if your death to your executor/SO/whatever. Or even just a trusted friend.

2. Proactively tell your family who that contact is, so that they can promptly request the letter if something happens.

3. In the letter, put a semi-permanent password you don't use for another purpose. Maybe toss in a copy of your will too.

4. Periodically upload a copy of your secret-stuff which was encrypted by that password onto something like a shared Google Drive folder or something just your family members already have access to. (As with all backups, don't assume your house outlives you.)

This way you don't need to update the death-letter every time you change a password, and the law-firm/friend will have a key without a lock.
You'd be surprised how often companies use PHI (legally) and healthcare provider networks don't care.

The few with smarter lawyers and IT departments, usually academic, do but a majority of all of the new "AI" health tech products I've heard about pitched to hospitals use customer PHI for product development.
As long as the negative sides of both axes are included too.

I love Phind! It’s in my daily toolbox. Congrats on the V2 launch!
Since you say it's a serious question, even though it's pretty unrelated to this thread, I'll give a serious answer.

First, 'xitter' isn't an official term related to x/twitter, so there's no official pronunciation.

'Xi' also doesn't occur in english much at all, so there's not much to draw on. My dictionary just has "Xiphoid", where the 'X' is pronounced as a 'Z'.

To my american-english mind, the obvious sound is "Z", like in "xenogenic" or "xenophobic". Or "xylophone". Basically, "x" at the beginning of a word is always a Z sound if a vowel sound follows, and an "ex" sound in exceptions like "X-Ray" and so on.

The only exception to the above is loanwords, notably chinese ones. In words like "Xian", for example, the "X" is pronounced close to the english soft "J" sound (like in Jacques)

So, summarizing, the majority of native english speakers, I believe, will read that as "Zitter", unless told it's a chinese word. There's no official pronunciation, so feel free to pick your own favorite though. This is english, pronunciations aren't wrong or right, they're just vibes.

Jane Friedman is a renowned author, publishing expert, and advocate for writers in the digital age. With over two decades of experience in the publishing industry, Jane has become a trusted authority on writing, publishing, and the ever-evolving landscape of eBooks.

Jane's passion for writing and her deep understanding of the publishing industry have led her to empower countless aspiring authors to fulfill their writing dreams. Through her books, articles, and speaking engagements, she has provided invaluable guidance on crafting compelling content, navigating the publishing process, and maximizing the potential of eBooks.

[...]

Jane's dedication to helping authors succeed extends beyond her writing and consulting work. As a respected thought leader in the industry, she has contributed to numerous industry publications and served as a mentor to emerging writers. Her insights and advice have been sought after by authors at all stages of their careers.

[...]

It is apparent that the books are trying to trick people into believing this is the Jane Friedman who is now complaining about misattribution.

But it's not apparent that they're doing anything they're not supposed to be doing. It's obviously fine for the fake books to be written under the name Jane Friedman. I am not sure how common it is for fictional authors to have fictional biographical information printed on their books, but it seems hard to avoid for something like Naked Came the Stranger that was attributed to a single author without actually having one.

And even if we think a fictional biography is beyond the pale, most of the bio here isn't fraudulent. Everyone is free to say they are a renowned author and publishing expert regardless of the facts. ("Puffery.") There is a factual claim about having two decades of experience in the publishing industry, and a factual claim about having contributed to numerous industry publications.

And after all of that, if you thought you could make a case that the bio in the back made the book fraudulent, the injured party would be someone who had purchased the book, not the author being imitated.

-----

Jane Friedman (the real one) asked Amazon for the wrong remedy. There isn't a reason to remove the books from sale, and Amazon was right not to do that. She should have asked for Amazon to stop claiming that she had written the fake books, which is something Amazon is doing that they shouldn't be doing.

(And Amazon's problem there is not limited to books that are intentionally pretending to be written by the more well-known Jane Friedman. If you go to their page for "books by Jane Friedman", it is headed by The Business of Being a Writer, identifying the Jane Friedman in question, but it is mostly full of books that do not have a Jane Friedman listed as author or contributor of any kind, such as Atopic Dermatitis and Eczematous Disorders.)

I remember just the wind blowing sometimes feeling like the exhaust of car idling. I worked at night and outside for a few years. I got to the point I stopped sweating because my body got used to the heat. After working in an office for a couple of years I lost my ability to stand the heat like I did.
That doesn't mean anything at the C level, the 6 months isn't his choice. They almost always transition out unless there is reputational damage involved, it's written into their contracts.
Is it not the case that AI is pretty good at detecting AI generated content?
How does that help solve the problem, especially given it's a problem that the marketplace isn't interested in solving?
>Who exactly told you this? I assume you don't personally interact with Russian media? You can check that what you claim is not true with just a few keystorkes. Do you need a list of popular media outlets in case you can't find on your own?

after those two days it went to "on june 23-24 absolutely nothing happened in russia"

>There must be someone who feeds you this idea.

i am native russian speaker (not russian. never lived in russia). nobody feeds me anything. i been tracking russian media for past two and a half decades. after prigozhin voyage reporting was about attorney general ending criminal investigation "because it was inproperly started" and few pr shows with putin about his unity with people and stuff.

in any other "normative" country there will be non-stop discussion in all media for weeks about what happened.

>I am not sure I completely understand you here. They report from the perspective and the angle of Russia, just as their western counterparts (e.g. NY Times, Washingtonpost, BBC) report from their geopolitical angle and perspective. Please elaborate.

In Russia media is controlled by kremlin. It's "widely" reported what are the general talking points are delivered by kremlin to media and what topics should be suppressed.

You want to say that white house and american media companies have same relationship ?

I seriously doubt the thrust reversers significantly shorten the life of the engine for the few seconds they're on.

All the reverser is is a couple of hydraulically operated clamshells that close over the exhaust stream forcing it to the side rather than back.

Ironically, it doesn't actually "reverse" the thrust. The exhaust stream impinges on the clamshell, pushing the airplane backwards.
I'm the core maintainer of the npm sqlite package that your library uses. I recommend that you don't make it a direct dependency, but use dependency injection or an adapter pattern that way your library isn't dependent on a specific package version of sqlite/sqlite3 (the npm sqlite package API is pretty static at this point though!).

The npm sqlite package used to have sqlite3 as a direct dependency in older major versions and most of the support issues were against sqlite3 instead of sqlite. Taking that dependency out and having the user inject it into sqlite instead removed 99% of the support issues. It's also really nice that sqlite has no dependencies at all.

If you go the adapter pattern route, you can support other sqlite libraries like better-sqlite3. Sometimes sqlite/sqlite3 doesn't fit a user's use-case and alternative libraries do.

Same deal with the pub/sub mechanism. You have the Typescript types defined to create abstractions. Would be nice to see adapters for Redis streams / kafka / etc, as in-memory pub/sub may not cut it after a certain point.

Great start on your library!
Two things: the first is that it's easier to estimate costs with services like 1P due to it being mostly static, unlike other services where costs are quite dynamic ranging from different factors like usage and hours spent. The second is that once you reach that scale (more than 10 members), your costs are so large on personnel alone that $10/person is an absurdity to be frugal about when it can save you time.
You can write under any name you want, depending on your intent. If your intent is to deceive, you probably can't.

Here's an example of a literary forgery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_forgery) where the author ended up in prison: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_Diaries ... But it would probably take some digging to see what particular action he was had for.
This is already happening: whatever you ask Google, they have some crazy AI algorithm running in the back trying to discover what you want to see as result, so as to maximize the profit from your clicks.

I did not claim a polite society can't exist without weapons.
Interesting. I hadn't heard that, but then I was a late-comer in 2016 with the user ISA already in its current form. I have some vague memory of having seen something about RISC-V a few years earlier than that, and glancing at the ISA, and not being impressed. But by the time the HiFive1 came it all looked pretty great to me. Not perfect — `SLT[I][U]` should produce 0 or -1 not 0 or 1, for example — but pretty darn good. The C extension also made it vastly more attractive as a practical ISA, and that was a late-comer (even if always "planned" and already mentioned as being developed in the May 2011 spec).

Looking at the May 2011 spec (https://www2.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2011/EECS-2011-...) there is `RDNPC Rd` which simply loads next PC into Rd. So that's 4 bytes different to modern `AUIPC Rd,0`, and functionally identical (other than return address predictor SNAFU) to modern `JAL Rd,.+4` or 2011 `JAL .+4` (only `x1` supported).

So 32 bit PC-relative addressing needed `RDNPC;LUI;ADD` and then `JALR`/load/store vs modern just `AUIPC` before the main instruction.

If there was something before `RDNPC` then it much have been very short-lived!

There is allegedly an earlier RISC-V design here...

https://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs250/fa10/handouts/lab2-ris...

... but I get "You don't have permission to access this resource."

There is an updated 2011 version which appears to conform to the May 2011 spec. The instruction listing omits load/store byte/half and there is no relative addressing support at all (except `JAL 4`) but that is probably just simplification for a hardware design class.

https://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs250/fa11/handouts/lab2-ris...

Chris, do you have access to that fa10 version?
This is so annoying.

I've written multiple books and seen many types of piracy.

The most annoying is piracy that Amazon could prevent with the work of an intern. They've shown little interest in this.

Authors have little pull because Amazon is the only player for book selling. (I know there are other places to sell books, I've used them. Better to focus on Amazon for passive sales.)
Maintenance issues are constantly fed back to the design teams that adjust the designs.
Weird that a lack of systemd was called out as a problem. Your pid1 can be any of a myriad of tools, systemd is just the (current) dominator. Only a few years ago I was working on RHEL machines without any systemd to speak of.
