You can see the latter in your code, you can’t—on a modern superscalar—see the former. Is the proposed architecture any different?

Seriously, I still aspiration of retiring in Santa Barbara some day when the boomers are long gone and hopefully CA's population halves or at least reverts to numbers seen in the 90s.

With that said, had California been capable of any reasonable form of foresight it would be gaining even more of it's energy needs from solar; instead it did what we all feared it would in December and made the demand for solar plummet by forcing new solar owners have to sell to the utilities [0]. This coupled with higher interests rates, and a slowing economy has meant that diablo canyon, reluctantly found it's MVP in incompetence and corrupt officials.

This along with Costa Mesa refusing to build a desalination plant has to be the biggest blunders in trying to stave off some of the biggest issues in California; the Colorado River is not a viable option any more, and while its been a very good year weather wise for water replenishment it must be understood that this is not something CA, but specifically SoCal, can rely on to get it's house in order.

I personally wanted to see DC get put offline, for practical as well as personal reasons, but now it's made itself indispensable and stifled progress on incentivizing the building of more renewable capacity and updating a crumbling energy infrastructure that caused lots of fires during COVID, not unlike those seen in Maui. I think something like that happening is in the cards when the reversion to the mean happens and we see the true cost of keeping these things online and deferring and prolonging the inevitable.

- It degrades Googles and OpenAis ability to monetize.
That alone is worth gold because tech is not a blue ocean anymore - neither from a market opportunity nor from an investor perspective. Your competitors loss is your gain. They can’t use money they don’t make to mount attacks to dislodge customers, investors, mindshare from you. Yes, Meta is weaponizing "open" to hurt their competitors, but we're in a capitalism world, that's about as good as it gets unless you want purity of motives.

- Secondly it commoditizes AI. Zuck believes that his platforms ultimately will benefit if there is more content. Because his platforms sell the ability to show YOUR content over the rest, for coin. Just as with news/mobile games, driving the value of your content lower and lower by fostering the creation/supply of more of it is good for FB and bad for you. You have to advertise to rise above the noise. (See commoditize your complements)

- Thirdly it reinforces the investor narrative that the company has a future because AI. That's important, because by now consensus is that ads future is under pressure of market saturation, regulation, competition (Apple's ability to hurt Meta at will, Amazon's increasing ads monetisation, etc.). There's more than one company that needs that narrative to land, but combined with hurting google, this is pretty good for a company that didn't have a generative AI strategy and was betting on the metaverse a year ago.

- Fourth, it captures open source momentum behind your limited internal efforts. Llama, when it was first released, was not competitive - easily a year behind Google's and more behind OpenAI's efforts - but by being first to capture thousands of capable contributors, just a few months later it is one of the most efficient and scalable LLM systems out there and incorporating many innovations days after their paper releases. Open models alone, without their foundational model, would have tugged along for a while before reaching this state.

What's fascinating about this situation is how it shuffles the big tech positioning. Meta and Apple, purely on a personal leadership bases, are hating each other's guts, but both Apple and Meta need Google/OpenAI to fail, for different reasons
Pretty disappointed by the community reaction here. Seems most commenters here clearly read the NYTimes article a week ago, but did not read the actual paper linked here, nor any of his previous papers.

Remote is optimised for senior individual contributors who no longer need direct supervision, and do not have supervisory responsibilities themselves. Being on-premise (where the bosses are) will inevitably lead to career acceleration
Maybe also worth a watch is this video from Ian McGilchrist:

I mean the measurements themselves may be fine, but the conclusions will require scrutiny.
Likely. At one of my companies I have worked there for two years and know nobody outside my team. My skip manager barely knows anything about me. I have no idea what other opportunities in the org might exist.

That being said, I will utterly derail my career to keep remote work. I’ll work for a bank over a FAANG to keep it. Remote is worth throwing everything else away.
In the last year or so I've received two strikes from Reddit Admins (employees) for report abuse when I reported two separate instances of explicit calls to violence in left-wing comments. One more "report abuse strike" and my since-Digg-era account is banned, so I've stopped caring. I've also seen first-hand and second-hand how the big default subreddit powermods (volunteers) over the last 10 years have silently banned users for non-inflammatory articulate dissenting posts and comments (while leaving up ones that are poorly written and easy targets). Combine that user shedding with botted upvotes on Rising (partisan-angle posts getting 10-20x the upvote average of other higher-quality posts from the same subreddit), the net effect is clear.

Ultimately, the best way to use Reddit is the way you do - keep it to small subs specifically devoted to a genuine interest, unsub from the defaults, and only browse it from the Home (your subs) page.
It is, however, also legal for private companies to decide stalking is bad and kick them off their systems.

This is not even the worst thing Russian agents have done. They used radioactive and chemical weapons to conduct assassinations. They even blew up ammo depots. That is still below the threshold of reasons good enough to declare war on a nuclear country.
It's nothing like that at all.

They have no powers to make any subjective judgements about hiring. They can only object to a hiring if the company has contradicted the law or it's own policies.

For instance if the company makes a team of Android developers redundant on Monday and then hires an external Android developer on Tuesday, the Works Council would want to know a very good reason why one of the potential internal candidates was not selected instead.

I guess a company could ask their opinion if they wanted to, but they are not legally compelled to do so. In my experience no-one from the works council is physically present in interviews either. They are just informed afterwards that a hiring decision is made and they have to approve or reject it.
Yup, they even get firmware updates via LVFS/fwupd!

The relative high-DPI-ness of the internal display in combination with worsening eyesight forced me to migrate from X11/openbox to Wayland/Plasma. That has mostly turned out OK, with the caveat of getting used to/working around a non-zero set of desktop bugs in my daily workflow.
Mostly because they tend to pick on people who can only file pro se, not because of any inherent merit.
Code refactoring brings speed to Vivaldi
> Maybe so, but it's not like there are a lot of languages around that are as expressive, flexible and easy to learn as python, but as fast as C.

There are several languages on the JVM which are that or better. As fast as C, no, but JVM is considered fast enough for a lot of applications where performance matters.

> JS is probably the closest, but not because of superior language design

There's this myth that Python as a language is superior to JS. In reality both have their long history and warts. JS/V8 is just much faster.

For me personally, JS is a much more ergonomic language than Python.
Did you take a look on how Zircon (Fuchsia) is handling this? It is quite interesting.

Not according to all the anonymous keyboard warriors trashing him in other threads here.

The point is that there may be superficial similarity. Code that happens to look the same, but represents different "pieces of knowledge" that are likely to change independently probably shouldn't be unified.
"The Internet brought agile, what will remote work bring?"

Interesting question. What are the companies doing that have been working remotely already years before the pandemic? How is e.g. Gitlab working? Would love to hear people's experience.

It's not like Agile cannot work with remote collaboration, just that waterfall is more suitable if people have a tendency to isolate and form silos.

> being unable to legally spend your ethereum in the country you physically reside in complicates things

But you can legally spend it, because nobody has found you guilty of a crime, because you haven't committed a crime.

The existing problem is that you don't have to be convicted of a crime to have some payment intermediary extrajudicially lock your account. To which the solution is to not have a payment intermediary.

Then if the government wants to stop you spending your own money, they can accuse you of a crime, but then they would presumably have to prove that you have committed the crime that makes it unlawful to spend the money instead of just letting the bank steal it from you without due process.
I mean if these hearings mean that the first-person accounts can come forward and testify themselves or more solid physical evidence, then great, job done.

But given the Snowden leaks and the ones where someone posted Ukranian intelligence on their Discord server or the ones where complete service manuals for military hardware are posted on the War Thunder forums... if there was more truth to it, people would've done the whistleblowing already. And not via telling someone who tells someone who then testifies about it.

It's too big of a thing to be kept hidden, especially for this long. Are there any secrets from, say, 50 years ago still hidden? (it's a rhetorical question btw, it wouldn't be secret if we knew about it).

64 of the 66 treads are slow threads where each group of 16 threads shares one set of execution units and all 64 threads share a scratchpad memory and the caches.

This part of each core is very similar to the existing GPUs.

What is different in this experimental Intel CPU and unlike in any previous GPU or CPU, is that each core, besides the GPU-like part, also includes 2 very fast threads, with out-of-order execution and a much higher clock frequency than the slow threads. Each of the 2 fast threads has its own non-shared execution units.

Separately, the 2 fast threads and the 64 slow threads are very similar with older CPUs or GPUs, but their combination into a single core with shared scratchpad memory and cache memories is novel.
If you mean who will provide protection, aircraft would probably be launched from mainland US. Supported by tankers, the US has no problem projecting air power over all of Mexico, if allowed by the Mexican government (or even if not allowed, if they're willing to pay the diplomatic price).

If you mean who would attack something like a high level international conference or sports events (with heads of major powers attending), that would obviously not be US carriers. (If the US navy or air force wants to bomb something, almost nobody can stop that.)

Rather, the threat would be any terrorist or criminal group able to control either a civilian jet or large, fast drone (able to outfly the WW2-era fighters that Mexico still has available).
The Radio-Stop was not exactly a secret - I remember talking about it with an amateur radio operator ca. 2002.

Kiwifarms isn't the first website ever to be taken down. Taking it down won't cause one bit of harm to legitimate websites. It's not that important. Don't worry.
Yes. “Standardising” to 230V +/-10%, allows for 220/230/240V +/-6% (the previous standards used in different countries) to all coexist without actually changing any equipment.

One thing does not logically lead to another. What an unreasonable argument. I could say the same thing about the thousands of malware and phish websites that are taken down every day.
Unions and Works Councils are not mutually exclusive. All companies that have a recognized Union will have a Works Council too.

A Works Council is entirely company specific. A Union is usually concerned with an entire sector and deals with company-specific issues only a limited way. In practice the Union organisations often provide assistance and advice to a Works Council, even to companies in which they are not active as a Union.
220 VAC allows higher gauge (thinner) wires for the same wattage consumption and more watts per circuit for the same amperage (more powerful appliances and/or more concurrent appliances without tripping a breaker). And the UK in particular has far safer plugs than the US, with a fuse in every plug, partially insulated plug leads, and blocking shutters on the sockets.

So basically we could use less copper, have safer homes, and simplify power supply design since we (and a handful of other holdouts) are basically the only countries using 100-120 VAC rather than 210-230 VAC, which would lower costs and reduce waste.

> My favorite counter-acronym to DRY is WET: write everything twice (or thrice!). Doing and then redoing it once you understand it better is the best way to learn how to apply DRY correctly.

I don't like it.
It's so much worse than DRY.
Imagine you have something that is duplicated. Instead of deduplicating it, you leave it.
Later at one location you make modifications, like rename a variable, introduce an optimization, whatever.

Now, if you don't explicitly remember, that duplication is hidden.

Months later you need to change or use the functionality somewhere else.
How likely is it you'll edit it just in one place or introduce another duplication?

Now let that run for a few years and you'll have this all over the code base.

Sounds nice
Should be no problem. GSUB lookup type 4.1* uses a uint16 to store the number of ligatures, so 65000 ligatures should be feasible. To store the actual glyphs, 32bit offsets are used, so you theoretically have a 2GByte of memory available, which should be plenty (although I have never seen a font larger than 15MB).

Using Wasm for this animation really is an overkill IMHO.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/g...

Edit: IIRC Ligatures are applied recursively, so you can have a ligature based on other ligatures. If I am right here, each ligature can consist only of two glyphs (the glyph of the previous animation frame followed by a dot). This would keep the GSUB table small.

California Tax Increase in 2024
These mental excuses are pretty funny :-D

One problem with this is that you expect a perfect dichotomy where you can isolate code which can be slow and which can be fast. But for a lot of code it's not easy to say in advance (pre-mature optimization plays a role too) and/or it's somewhere in the middle.

We have a big Java application with hundreds of thousands lines of code. Its performance is so-so. But if you look at the profiler, there isn't a clearly responsible module/method (all obviously slow methods have been already optimized). Now it's a death by a thousand cuts. Making it in Python would make it unacceptably slow with no obvious places which could be converted into C. Writing the whole thing in C would make it a much more complex endeavor.
Bad faith arguments because Grusch hasn't provided anything solid other than second- and third-hand anonymous eyewitness statements. Grush has provided nothing new, second/third hand accounts have been doing the rounds for decades.
MacPorts might be a better fit for older versions of macOS.
Those older developers are correct. The smallest unit for which you could even attempt to quantify productivity is a scrum team. And even at that level the error bars are huge.
How were you comparing ISA-L and libdeflate? For decompression I've found that the latest version of libdeflate is slightly faster than ISA-L.
"Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system".

What piece of knowledge does your add1 function represent? I don't think you're strawman is actually DRY (which is a problem - damp strawmen can mildew).

I do agree that there are sometimes tradeoffs that can make a less DRY approach a better one, but not all deduplication is "DRY".
I respectfully disagree. :) The leadership principle is agnostic to the roles—the point is that people should not go along with decisions due to social cohesion but should express their disagreements and make their case. However, once a decision is made, the team should commit to implementing it. Ultimately, the decision making power still resides in the management chain, though.

Where's the control? If you go elsewhere in the Indian Ocean, are you likely to find a similar pattern?

From my reading, they went to one area, did two tracks outside that area, and compared the results.

Is that enough statistics? Are there runs inside of the area which are similar to runs outside the area? If you did the same search pattern elsewhere, what are the odds of finding something similar?

Even if this were an extrasolar meteor, it could hardly be the first, which means there should be other similar signatures all over the place.

Including in previous surveys of micrometeorites and spherules. Shouldn't there be an outlier cluster in all those data sets?

Off topic but I liked the presentation template a lot.
In principle true

- Having 1 password for Google account + one passphrase may be great - in a sense holy grail

But... as some one doing CS for many people

- People just dont focus or show importance to these things

- People will forget the passphrase and lose data

- The importance to the data that was lost is MORE painful than the 'loss' of privacy

- So many people incl. my spouse live totally in phones (and work laptop). With the advent of large screen phablets (a.k.a - all new phones) - one does not even need any tablet.

- Sure, your advice is logically correct but reality for most is that people still treat password or PIN as a PITA.

I sincerely wish some country will pass strong privacy laws + have a connection between google/apple account with national ID of some type so that people can validate and reset password of SV behemoths. But again - strong privacy laws so that neither govt not SV misuses it.
For me it was the cross-platform batteries-included standard library, which could completely replace Windows batch files and UNIX shell scripts with a single solution that was also much more convenient to write. At that time node.js was still a decade into the future.

Today I'm starting to move from Python to Deno though. I'm still fed up with how bad the Python2 to Python3 transition went, and Python3 has all the wrong goals for what I'm using it for (it tries to be a "real" programming language, when I just want a cross-platform scripting language).
