Apple invested in them for a chip for Newton, not for the ARM architecture in particular. Apple was creating their own PowerPC architcture around this time, and they sold their share of ARM when they gave up on Newton.

The PA Semi purchase and redirection of their team from PowerPC to ARM was completely different and obviously signaled they were all in on ARM, like their earlier ARM/Newton stuff did not.

SCRUM solves a problem the X poster is too young to know. I'm mildly amused, he has no idea what SCRUM is about and why the ceremony is a lot better than the sleepless nights and the crunch time spent rewriting the application in the last month before release.

Often this happens because of poor zoning choices; or because the pollution happened before anyone knew better.

We have a concept in the US called "ex post facto." Basically, you can't be prosecuted for breaking laws that are passed after you did the crime. I think a lawyer could explain the nuances better than I can.

PFAS is a good example. For example, where I live, there is a groundwater plume of PFAS from firefighters practicing putting out fires. The PFAS was in fire suppressants that fire fighters practiced with.

Who's going to be punished? The firefighters were doing their jobs, and had no reason to believe they were polluting groundwater.
So the way that we enforce it, is that we only generate SELECT queries, and do a post process verification to make sure that the result is actually only a read-only query.

I think you have a great point though, this should be made much clearer so users can build trust in using the product. Thanks a lot for the feedback!
I was thinking one way the world ends because of AGI is that the strong AGI uses up all the earth's natural resources turning everything into drones to fight an endless drone war.
I've been downvoted quite a bit for snarkily dissing on python. I am not a fan.

But... to give credit where credit is due... python has done a number of things right.

Most people I know like python because the syntax hasn't changed that much in the last 5 years or so, so they don't remember the horrible times in 1.x and 2.x where syntax, semantics and tool changes between minor revs caused headaches.

Good on you, python 3.x developers. You have done a good job of not repeating some of the worst problems from an earlier era.

I think the reason people tolerate python (and even like it) is there's a lot more opportunities to write small snippets of code. AWS Lambdas come to mind, but there are plenty of other opportunities.

Instead of having to whip up applications that do EVERYTHING, it's much more common for your code to run inside an established framework (thinking of django) where an existing code blobs already exist to access other infrastructure (databases, caches, event streams, etc.)

An important aspect of python's popularity is the context in which python code is executed. You don't write all of an app w/ python, you pick a framework that works for your uses and just use that. Or at least, you have more of an opportunity to do that with modern languages it seems.

Also, there's a large and often useful "extended standard library" of modules. As a C fan, I have to admit I'm jealous.

And as much as I feel violated by python 2.x, it's nice to see that in the 3.x world you can frequently get a version clean dependency closure (i.e.- your dependencies and their dependencies and their dependencies all work well on a specific version of the language.)

I would remind people, however, that "python" is not a language. It is a family of languages with related syntax and semantics. There are still problems getting code from different versions of python to work together, but it is MUCH less of a problem in 3.x than it was in 2.x. (Thankfully most people reading this post weren't out of diapers when 1.6 was released.)

I have "issues" with most pythons' syntax and semantics, but they're probably not problems for most people, so I'll keep them to myself.

I recently realized I wrote my first Lisp program 50 years ago and much prefer "extension by composition", but we all do what we feel most comfortable with.

I've just had to maintain other people's crappy python 1.6 code, porting it to 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 3.4, 3.6 and 3.8. I dislike having to do this. But if you're writing small snippets of code, offload your code to a different team for maintenance or change jobs every year, it's a perfectly fine language.

Wouldn't the call be saying direct holdings are less risky than futures?

Futures have already been approved. In general futures are much more risky than long/short holdings because they are effectively highly leveraged.

Which would also be true if there is market manipulation. Any bumps in the original assets price get magnified in futures pricing.

So it is odd that the SEC approved futures but not the direct asset itself.

Unless anyone here knows of a good argument why the direct asset could carry more risk, manipulation or otherwise, than its futures?

This is another way to make sure that the app doesn't overstep it's permissions,

It's still very valid feedback, on our side we should make the permissions of each user very clear and make it clearer that we only do select queries. Will make sure to make those changes! Thanks for the feedback!

We don't yet know that. Point me at a study showing health outcomes from a cohort study where one group gets full-body MRIs every 3 months compared to a control group that does not.
The main argument seems to be comments should left with the commit message and not "inline" i.e mixed with the code. Personally I make heavy use of inline style comments.
California court dismisses lawsuit over nuclear power plant
Yes definitely, that is something that I think would be interesting for us to add. Since we are building everything fully on prem, we didn't have a web based product to confuse people, but I think your point stands that have a tangible demo to play with will help users trust the product to eventually run it on prem.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
I think m_1 is roughly your butt, and m_3 is roughly your shoulders. Phi is the angle your body makes wrt the chain. So pulling on the chain changes phi.

I think the idea is that three masses can model a center of mass that may not coincide with the butt as well as moment of inertia — mass, moment of inertia and CM displacement is three parameters, and three point masses gives enough degrees of freedom.

But three point masses cannot model non-rigid-body effects. The offset of CM from butt can vary (by bending one’s knees if nothing else), the CM offset from the swing can vary in two dimensions. I don’t know how much this matters.
Why wouldn't they? It's free money. And they control the technology.

As someone who agrees ISPs shouldn't get to be judge, jury, and executioner on censorship, I find it really odd when people go out of their ways to defend absolute cesspits every time the censorship issue comes up.

Kiwi Farms is an irredeemable cesspit by every measure I can see, and accepting that makes your argument stronger. Trying to act like it's an innocent place, or this place is ok because you're familiar with 100 even worse places just makes you look unreasonable. All it serves to do is muddy the waters between being anti-censorship and being pro-cesspit, and I'm not the former.

Our own private, self-hosted Forgejo instance that we use often enough that using it as an identity provider is not a big hassle :)

If you're not logged in, then you provide your credentials. Otherwise, you get redirected back to Jitsi with cookies that are good for a week.

Hardly. Not only was it nothing great, it had many variations, making it harder to remember.
just to compare both fusion approaches we did some internal benchmarks testing recall on a standard (FIQA) dataset. According to our internal benchmarks, the relativeScoreFusion algorithm showed a ~6% improvement in recall over the default rankedFusion method.
I went to check this, but it won't even minimally load the authentication page without loading Firebase JS from `www.gstatic.com` (which I block by default, so that I notice when sites are leaking like this).

[edit: I think I'm wrong!] I'm pretty sure this is HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) on the same substrate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Bandwidth_Memory

There are some other explainers out there that go into more detail, but Nvidia is also doing this with Grace Hopper (I think?), and Apple with their M-series chips.

Update: It looks like it's just DDR5 ("custom DDR5-4400 DRAM") in this case.
Serious legal question...What is the difference between an online venue and telephones? Is it simply that implementation of censoring is practicable? Could the telephone companies start "moderating" all phone communications to prevent unsavory communication?

Another beginner-friendly point for Python: it has IDLE, a barebones IDE, included as part of the standard library. It's unfortunate Ruby doesn't provide such niceties to the beginners out of the box, given it inherited a lot of the Smalltalks, the language family with the best programming environments ever.
I get it. I am a Clojurist that works for a fairly sizable company where Clojure is dominant (there actually are many, not just JUXT, you could also name Walmart). But I get annoyed when people substitute "we are the smartest and Rust is best and everything else is excrement" or especially "Typescript is best..." rofl
A swing (pendulum generally) isn't a harmonic oscillator, except in the limit of small angle. But to your point, that just means the user (subconsciously) adjusts the frequency.
Delving into a gem sometimes makes me lose faith in ever using dependencies again.
Thank you for your service. Between your coverage and Dr. Ian Cutress', we can pick up on announcements from events like Hot Chips with a lot more clarity than the PR speak the companies themselves put out.
> If this is the case it's kinda cool because it can then also be used to circumvent these restrictions by spoofing the GPS signal either over the air or in the transceiver itself. Highly illegal obviously but technically cool.

Since the Starlink satellites aim themselves to an extent, I’d think spoofing your location _too_ far away from where you actually are could end up with you unable to actually get a lock on any satellites.

There is not a country in the world that does not believe some forms of speech are worth censoring.

Matthew Prince received a massive backlash for this decision and he hasn't once been able to elaborate on what evidence they had. As mentioned, I believe it was merely a convenient excuse to justify backtracking on his definitive promise less than 48 hours later.

If he had evidence of something that constituted a threat to life, why didn't they share it with the operator of the Kiwi Farms so that it could be removed? If it was as damning and credible as he claimed, why did none of the authorities follow-up on it?

That’s funny because that’s one of the reasons I tend to point beginners to R instead of Python for data work.
Indeed there is a long history of companies providing services (at inflated rates, of course) to people engaging in activity most are not comfortable with. Think payment processors for porn sites.
Many large airports have high-precision ground surveillance radar for that very reason, and the software interpreting it can often issue automatic runway incursion warnings, operate visual “safe to cross” indicator lights etc., all without relying on GPS.

There is definitely responsibility on the pilots to not take a wrong turn, and that job gets harder without precision navigation systems, but more than one thing normally has to go wrong for a runway incursion to occur, as far as I understand.
The reason I have heard about this is that standing is fatiguing and discourages people from going on and on. I get it but I think it's strange.

In an era where Disney is also increasingly not making physical media available, some of these shows now have literally no legal copies. As the Disney+ streaming service was the only place some of these shows were ever available.

Disney is no longer releasing any bluray or other physical media in Australia and other markets are sure to follow suit:
https://thedigitalbits.com/columns/my-two-cents/072523-1400

Its hard not to see this as a media long game, similar to software licenses, you'll have no possible way to own anything. That also seems to open up possible stronger enforcement on pirated copies of movies from streaming services since there is no legitimate way anyone could have had such a copy.

Both topics also discussed on the Linus Tech Tips "WAN Show" podcast this week:

Drinking alcohol because water was unsafe is a modern myth. Prior to (and for a long time after, too) the germ theory of disease, water was evaluated purely by taste. They drank lots of water. Thus the whole "cholera epidemic because one well in London was near where poop ran off" thing.

Python is very powerful indeed, especially in 2023. But for some reason I orchestrate my LLMs and diffusion models using Clojure. I also prefer to tame LLM output using Clojure. I still definitely write Python where it makes perfect sense.
Great quote from Ursula LeGuin.

For me what's had a huge negative effect on software development as a job, turning it from more of a creative endeavor to something more like micro-managed factory work, is Scrum, and to some extent the entire Agile framwork. It makes sense, since that's were those things originated.

>But the worst is watching people whose job title in corporate HR Departments is "journalist" take the lead in agitating for censorship. They exploit the platforms of corporate giants to pioneer increasingly dangerous means of banning dissenters. These are the authoritarians.

Its especially despicable if it happens consciously as a means to an end. Signaling towards a common enemy is highly profitable in a tribalism ridden society. Doing this despite an understanding of the risk it entails can hardly be described as anything but malice.

I can only think of imploring people to read Meerloos "Rape of the mind" about the existential risk totalitarian systems pose. And even if someone already went full Stalinist thinking the ends justify the means, its worth mentioning that its a self destructive delusion. It cant work and the revolution eats its children reliably. Be it the SA or the red guard, they always end as the victims of the monster they created. Unfortunately the rest of society is then stuck in the dystopian nightmare these delusional maniacs created.

The problem with this is it's too obviously plausible. We no longer want companies that are profitable, we want companies that are potentially profitable in the future. That way our Round C investment will increase in value by the time we find suckers... er... mature investors to let us cash out at Round D. The moment we start making actual money and stop valuing the company on projected future growth, it's harder to make up stories about why we should be valued at 100x or even 50x revenues (or in the case of some fabless semiconductor firms I've worked for, 10000x revenues.)

Actual earnings are anathema to modern ventures. Any company new enough to build out electric infrastructure would have to forestall revenue events far enough out into the future they would likely hit an economic contraction and would have to be agile enough to move from a "spending money" firm to a "creating value that can be monetized via sales" firm. And that is not easy.

"if I can't explain it any other way then it must be aliens"

feels very like

"If I can't explain genetics any other way then it must be god and therefore evolution does not exist: its god"

how about:

"If I can't explain it because I am not competent then you are a fool for believing my reasoning why this is x and not y or z or a or b"

He found a thing. It's unusual in composition and physical form. Therefore, we can be confident it exists. We cannot be confident WHY it exists because its a new thing. We may find:

a) its more common than we think
b) its been hiding in plain site ignored in other samples
c) its extra-solar qualities may be revised in the light of a and b

We had no soft bodied holotypes about precambrian creatures for a long time. We think the precambrian explosion is amazing. Oddly, we don't think its aliens. We just realize now that a lot of very odd organisms washed out. Now, soft bodied fossils are accepted as "normal"

He's a fool, if he truly thinks this is evidence of aliens.

what if (for instance) it's cometary in origin, from the Oort cloud and guess what: we don't have direct samples to hand about the physical structure of objects the size of a grain of sand, in the Oort cloud. This could just be what exists in deep space, and only gets here if a comet does.

Now, if you're a reasonable human being, you would think that dumping political snuff video sites would take priority over Stormfront. It's just virtue signalling.
