> Does JPEG XL allow encoders to switch between the DCT and modular modes on a per-macroblock basis, or is it just on a per-channel basis?

Tricky but it can be indeed done on a per-macroblock basis. The encoding itself is fixed per frame, but JPEG XL mandates zero-duration frames to be merged with the prior frame, so multiple frames with different encodings can be used for that. In fact I believe patches already work like this.
I agree. Most of the 30ish page document is completely open for interpretation, or misinterpretation. It would be much better to focus on the capabilities and outcomes.

Crashing is your tell? It could be crashing every minute and you likely would not be able to tell. State can be saved, you could even be reset with some memory missing and you would not notice.

The story looks like a penny dreadful of “Russia is doomed” series.

1. There’s no info on that Russian slide about actual planes flying without any breaks at all. There’s a manufacturer defined minimum equipment list that allows planes to have some breaks (actual number depends on the type of a plane) disabled for, let’s say, 10 days at the most.

This is absolutely normal as planes cannot be serviced constantly (they fly back and forth, duh). As long as you don’t exceed the allowed number of breaks disabled, you’re fine.

2. The slide just warns about possible adversary effects (off-axis skid and longer landing distance) if some of the breaks are disabled. This is expected, somewhat corrected by algorithms, etc.

https://youtu.be/DeEb_lbdlQs

3. No one is telling planes to fly without any brakes.

4. There are different types of “breaks”: the ones used in a landing and the ones for an end-of-runway “stop” are not the same.

5. If the adhesion index is lower than required for the specific landing (weight, fuel leftover, etc.) even the brand-new “brakes” are to no avail. Again, another parameter out of many.

tldr; it is absolutely safe to fly those nine Aeroflot planes that — at the moment of the slide — had some breaks disabled (not to mention another thousand of other Russian passenger planes).

==

More importantly, there is absolutely no shortage of airplane parts in Russia — they’re just delivered in a more “wink-wink” obscure way.

I guess it’s just the same as there’s no problem there and in China to get modern GPUs that US “ordered” nvidia and amd not to sell :-)

Or mastercard/visa/swift “blocking”: even kids in Russia now have foreign virtual cards that are topped-up via p2p crypto in a matter of minutes so that one could buy anything digital (and physical via mail forwarders) online and rendering that great — mostly pr/perception based —“exodus from Russia” obsolete.
Ha! I am on iCloud Family max plan and I feel like it will get full 5 years from now.
Immune evasion in cancer is really interesting and particularly important because immune therapy has really emerged as a groundbreaking therapy. But, while immunotherapy excels in blood cancers, it still struggles in solid tumors. Part of the reason for this is that a solid group of cancer cells can much more easily change their microenvironment to exclude immune cells.

So this paper explores one of the ways they do that. Cancer cells turn off a protein that sits on the surface of normal human cells that immune cells regularly bind to. Binding to this protein, CD58, causes changes in the immune cell. What these changes are critically depends on the other signals that the immune cell senses on the surface of the cell. If it senses another (somewhat famous) protein, PD-L1, the immune cell self destructs, as PD-L1’s presence typically means that a cell is normal and healthy. But, cancer cells frequently evolve to over generate PD-L1, thereby creating an micro-environment filled with self destruct signals. Further, the other protein CD58 actually increases the physical force of immune cell binding, so when cancer cells turn off CD58 they actually get more slippery.

This paper explores an interesting connection between the two proteins. There’s a third protein which binds to both of them and increases the amount of time they're active on the cell’s surface. Honestly I haven’t had time to fully digest this bit, but it seems like the regulatory protein preferentially binds to CD58, which is good because it promotes immune cell adhesion and recognition of the tumor cell. But! When CD58 is lost, it then binds to PDL1 and promotes immune cell evasion.

Why nature chose this as a regulatory mechanism is kind of baffling, but exactly the kind of thing that makes cell biology interesting
This looks promising, after looking at Azure/AWS/GC/Linode GPU instances all day. When you say "eventually terminated", what magnitude of time are you referring to? Hours? Days? Weeks? Months? Years?
You're hands down my favourite creator. You come up with such brilliant solutions. It's really inspiring to watch.
> Providing benefits and developing new treatments seem to differ though, don’t they?

Not at all- many of the health conditions experienced by veterans are service-related, and no private funding is going to fund the basic research. Some of the research is also related to actively serving soldiers. During the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, some of my dad's research was related to keeping soldiers fighting in desert climates hydrated. I also did some work in a VA lab in high school which was researching new prosthetics technologies for victims of IED bombings, which did not leave enough of the persons's limb remaining for existing prosthetic designs to attach to.

> Regarding your father, what was the benefit to him as a researcher to have all of these different groups to work for?

More opportunities for funding! Federal grants are very competitive.

> Seems like there would be more waste (more fixed overhead of administrators) and bureaucracy.

> If you think Generative AI is at the level of current VFX artists, you understand neither the tech or those people’s jobs.

“GenAI will just mean fewer VFX workers but should also mean better wages for them” doesn’t mean “Generative AI is at the level of current VFX artists”, all it means that a VFX artist with Generative AI can be more productive than one without. (Well, and also that they have the negotiating power to capture some of the value of the productivity increase, which is probably the most questionable bit of the whole thing.)
Ferromagnetic half levitation of LK-99-like synthetic samples
What you're asking for here is port forwards/DNAT, i.e. applying NAT to redirect an inbound connection. When people say "NAT", they're usually talking about SNAT/MASQUERADE, i.e. NATing outbound connections.

If you want to NAT inbound connections, you can do it without NATing outbound connections. Essentially: you don't need to NAT, you just need to port forward.

Honestly, I think you should just suck it up and use different hostnames for different services, because running all of your services on one IP is really bad for security since it makes it much easier to enumerate every service you're running -- it only takes scanning 65k ports on one IP to find them all, rather than 65k ports on 2^64 IPs. That's the difference between megabytes and yottabytes of port scan traffic.

If you NATed outbound connections to also come from this IP then things get even worse because every outbound connection any of your machines make would immediately inform the server of the IP needed to make an inbound connection to you. That's a completely unnecessary security sacrifice.

But if you're gonna do it, you can do just that, without trying to run the network on some local IP range too.
It's because they're desperate to work in the industry and will accept any work conditions to do so. They have to learn to say no and prioritize work-life balance over getting their dream job.

The essential problem is their messed up priorities, not the lack of unions. Once unions create barriers to working in the industry to the benefit of existing workers, then you just get a new privileged elite, who have an in with the union, and all of the cronynism and exploitation that goes along with that. The essential problem—of vastly more qualified people wanting to work in the industry than there are positions available—has not been addressed.

And on top of that, with unionization you get the harm from a less dynamic workforce with less flexible contract negotiations, which has historically harmed numerous industries. It's a net negative for workers at large, and of course the world.
Linux kernel space on x64 uses "negative" pointer values so the high bits are set there. Which is probably the more interesting place to find this bug.

Needs to be unsigned to get this failure mode, any signed loop gets compiled assuming no overflow for a different (though similar!) failure mode.

I don't know that. You can find new conclusions from existing data if nobody else has done it yet.
You can't implement AMOs as no-op! That code will fail horribly!

You need (in a simple core [1]) a very un-RISC read/modify/write sequencer with bus lock. That's not cheap in silicon. Or trap and emulate using LR (which could be NOP) and SC (which could be a plain store) and a few other instructions. That's not fast.

If you have that tiny embedded device with more than one core then you implement RV32IA properly, simple. And if you have a single core and no interrupts or DMA then implement RV32I and save a good bit of silicon.

[1] big designs don't implement AMOs in the CPU core, but out in the peripherals, RAM controller, or cache controller. As far as the CPU core is concerned an AMO is a memory read that sends extra data (a constant and an operation code) out with the memory address.

For what it's worth, in general, the more information the voting system provides, the more. I tend to like it.

I prefer IRV ranked choice to FPTP. I prefer proportional if possible. I tend to really like cardinal systems [1].

I think the fact that ranked sometime leads to deadlocked systems is more of an issue of how representative voting is made (rather than the public voting system itself). You talk about mixed representation, which is a good idea for instance.

My main issue is that we don't change the voting system all that much, when it could yield massive societal benefits. I'd much prefer a ranked system to a FPTP system we currently have.

I know that is super frustrating, I’m sorry. We’re just really early and unsure how to begin even discussing public pricing.

We are 100% committed to that free tier. We designed our entire architecture around making that free tier so cost effective that we could offer it for free.

We want to get to a point where we can have transparent pricing on our website, it will just take us some time to figure that out after speaking with initial customers. We would love to hear your feedback though. You won’t get handed off to a sales guy or anything, it’ll just be a direct conversation with me (CEO) and my cofounder Ryan (CTO)

fakes wouldn't come with a token that verifies the book is authentic. They are doing the same thing with luxury watches and fashion items. i.e. the real Gucci purse comes with an NFT, (likely NFT + NFC) for authentication and coms with the brand.
Looking at the responses here, I see a pattern: generality in the form of downstream consequences rather than specificity of upstream causes, e.g., “world hunger” rather than “lack of low-cost drought-resistant soil-regenerating edible plants” (I’m making that up — I have no idea why hunger still exists, and I’d assume it is mostly political).

“Make something people want” sounds simple, but it is really hard to identify specific gaps in people’s lives that are the primary, but many-step-removed, cause of the problems in people’s lives.

Maybe it is possible to go from general to specific by asking, “Why? What’s missing?” until you get to something very specific that is missing that is the root problem.
Now I don’t know what to believe.
I would strongly recommend signing up for either Backblaze, or using something like iCloud Photos or Google Photos.

My entire 100,000 photos, 20 year library is now in iCloud photos. It's constantly synced and backed up to icloud. Then I have it pulled down in full to a mac that then backs up to backblaze.

Lots of ways to do it, but thats one. :)

For $5-10/month you can get unlimited backup from a machine with Backblaze including your external drives.

By any reasonable definition, forcing reporters to reveal their sources abridges freedom of the press (if not crippling it all together).
Books are published - either by a publisher, or by the author. That's the equivalent of a 'checksum'.

The author should be able to provide to Amazon/Goodreads a list of publishers for their book. Any publisher not on this list should be prevented from selling the title.

If someone wants to impersonate an author, they'd have to also impersonate a publisher - a much bigger legal risk.

I haven't touched Haskell in a while, but it seems like this is solving the wrong problem. If you have a data type and a type class, there are 3 places you can make the type an instance of the typeclass:

1) Where you define the data type
2) Where you define the typeclass, or
3) Anywhere else

If you are in either 1 or 2, then you are the one who wrote either the type or the type class, and so probably know what you are doing. If the maintainer of the type and typeclass disagree on if they are compatible, that should probably be settled through concersation, not one side marking them as such in code.

If you are in situation 3, then just don't. Even if there is nothing inherently wrong with the tupe being an instance of the type class, an unrelated module defining it will cause nothing but problems. What if a different module had the same idea? What if one of the two original modules decide to add it?

I understand and I agree with you for the most part. Most of what we're discussing exists in a grey area to me, one that can only be clarified if we differed to real-world norms at the expense of forfeiting some of our natural inclinations in a digital space. As much as it may be in a person's best interest to provide an explanation for their exit and expunge from an online community, I'd offer a similar argument, that it would be in the best interest for certain people to differ the responsibility of checking in on the person's well-being to those who are known to have an actual relationship with them (i.e. one that isn't predicated by the environment that the person is tearing themselves away from in drama-inducing fashion). I think that this where scale becomes an issue, like you said.
