I think it's reasonable to say that this was actually the point of releasing LLMs publicly. The companies that created them wanted a moat and figured the data they had could be it if they poisoned anyones attempt to collect the same data in the future.

Everything has old beginnings that the specialists will remember, but GPU compute really reached mass popularity and became a large selling point for Nvidia in the 2010s.
Because IBM picked the other chip for their flagship offering. It's as simple as that. If IBM had picked the 68K series a lot more funding would have been available to keep the Motorola chips competitive. In this branch of the multiverse they had to compete with the IBM/Intel combination, which with their massive sales of PCs and compatibles had both better margins and substantially larger volume. Motorola didn't stand a chance, even if they may have had bit of a head start technology wise.
Itanium failed in the market because it wasn't fast enough running general purpose code (HPC workloads were a different story). As a consequence, it's ability to run existing x86 code was poor (both in hardware and software emulation). At the root, Itanium's poor performance was a direct consequence of the design assumption that a sufficiently smart compiler could extract sufficient instruction-level parallelism. While the ISA didn't prohibit later improvements like OoO execution, it always required a better compiler (and more specific workloads) than real users would have.
Maxwell's even better as a single equation :

He was preparing to fight, but embarrassing ass-kissing texts from his friends started rolling out in discovery.
Itanium was never really "just fine."

The performance (or complete lack thereof) of x86 compatibility mode was one problem. But VLIW's reliance on software to do the right thing (with compilers etc.) was another big thing even for native IA64 code. And a decent-performing Itanium was delayed enough to arrive during dot-bomb vs. dot-com.

If Itanium had really been the only 64-bit chip available for use in systems from multiple vendors maybe it would have succeeded by dint of an Intel monopoly position. But once x86_64 arrived from AMD and Intel ended up following suit, it was pretty much game over for Itanium.
I'm curious to know what kind of projects this company has. The ugly monkey jpeg industry doesn't seem to have that much user demand if you take away the promise to get rich fast, so surely they must have other crypto projects in mind?
Which was fascinating, technically speaking, because the PlayStation was never intended to be played without a game disc in the drive. Vib Ribbon's graphics are so brutally simple because the entire game has to fit in 2 megabytes of RAM when you remove the disc. It loads it on boot and then never touches the data track again.

I've seen ints being deliberately stored as text. Not because the id field changed at some point and they just kept it around as legacy (I mean, bad idea, but fair enough), but they thought storing them as text would somehow be better.

As to NoSQL, yeah - devs love shoving everything into a JSON column, and then complain that it's slow. MongoDB is of course there for their web scale needs.

The DF image quality rocks. I have one and my only nicks on it are the sub optimal focusing speed / accuracy especially in poor lighting and the max shutter speed of 1/4000. The latter not being a problem unless you like shooting wide open outside in daylight, which I do.

If you want to peek behind the curtain, "Digital Transformation at Scale: Why the Strategy Is Delivery" by Andrew Greenway et al [1] is full of advice and background on what it takes to launch and operate something like GDS.

Something that fascinated me: how they were planning the departure of GDS leadership years in advance. GDS had to push changes through, which means making enemies, which means eventually being squeezed out. So they just assumed that will happen and adjusted organisational structures, making sure there will be new leaders in place. Just incredible level of professionalism.

> Anyway, the point is that the halting procedure in its full generality cannot exist, while each individual busy beaver number can be solved in theory (even if there’s no algorithm that can list them all).

It's possible to prove the values of certain busy beaver numbers, of course, but that's equivalent to noting that you can prove whether certain TMs halt. For example, it is possible to run every n-state TM long enough that, for each TM, you've either observed it halt or you've proved that it's in an infinite loop. The problem is that, for any TM that you haven't observed halt and you haven't been able to prove it's in an infinite loop, you just gotta keep waiting until one or the other happens. And, critically, you can't know if you'll ever come up with a proof that it's in an infinite loop.
Capitalism brings abundant choices. Many or most people don't care enough to protect themselves by choosing differently.

It could, but there is no latitude about it specified in the standard. Only automatic locals are allowd to turn to pixie dust after a longjmp, and only if they have been modified since the setjmp.

Thus, if other things are a problem, the compiler just has to slow down in that section of code where setjmp is being used and not do those optimizations (without being told not to via volatile).

By the way, I have run into a problem, quite recently, where a setjmp-like routine (not setjmp itself) caused a problem with access to a global variable, under gcc.

This was caused by -fPIE builds, enabled in some toolchains and distros.

The global variable in question was accessed, under the hood, via a global offset table or something like that. Basically, a layer of indirection due to the position independence of the code. The invisible pointer variables needed to access the global are, of course, themselves local.

A problem happened whereby code executed since the setjmp like function prepared the value of a hidden local in order to access that global variable. When the longjmp-like function was executed, this was trashed. Yet the code assumed the value is stable; that it can access the global variable through that address. The result being a mysterious crash.

Not sure if the issue is reproducible with real setjmp and longjmp.

Evolution has determined a good architecture. The weight training is then just the final tweak to get everything running smoothly.

No reason beyond compute we couldn't do something similar. Ie find good architectures by evaluating them using multiple random weights, and evolve those archigectures that on average gives the best results.

Then over time add a short training step before evaluating.

In other news, this is surprisingly not very well known but california takes, and saves, a DNA sample of any baby born in a CA hospital. There is no consent nor opt-out, not even notification. You can write a letter to have the sample destroyed and sometime later you'll get confirmation of such. You can only hope that it wasn't sequenced and saved already and/or that it was properly destroyed.

huh. "many states" do it, I had no idea. Apparently all 50 states are required to do a genetic screening but I guess above and beyond that some states save the sample.

I wonder what would happen if a parent or family member physically intervened to prevent taking the sample.
As @philwelch suggests, it wasn't really a foundry problem.

The Tier 1 Unix system companies (many of whom had been Moto 68K customers) already had their own RISC designs and a lot of the second and certainly third tier companies were getting acquired or going out of business. So by the time there was really a solid 88K product--at least for the server market--almost no one was lined up to design systems around the chip.

Data General did for a while. Forget who else did. But it just never got critical mass.

Hmmm, from the home page URL, I enter a book. I then click on the book, confirming that it's the one the app knows about.

It then shows me the same book, and a summary of it, and asks me if I want to read it.

Below that, it shows me a set of books in the "No Labels" category.

For all the books I've tried so far, it's given me this same set of books. House of Leaves is very different from A Time of Gifts, so it's unlikely that they're recommendations based on the book.

I think the issue here is that it might take the adblockers longer to update than it takes google. If google has a team of people doing anti adblock then I suspect it would take them less than a week or maybe even a couple days to update the app to counteract whatever the adblockers come up with. And with each iteration the adblockers have to become more creative.
In point of fact the US public has literally no control over budgetary policy so perhaps pointing the finger at the culprits instead of the useful idiots that put them there would be worthwhile.

> I don't think a new Blu-ray disc could be released that continues to be readable by some old readers but is no longer readable by other old readers.

you can obviously think whatever you want, but you'd be completely wrong

DVD supported this 20 years ago, blu-ray's system is far more sophisticated and can even block individual players

The approach of AACS provisions each individual player with a unique set of decryption keys which are used in a broadcast encryption scheme. This approach allows licensors to "revoke" individual players, or more specifically, the decryption keys associated with the player. Thus, if a given player's keys are compromised and published, the AACS LA can simply revoke those keys in future content, making the keys/player useless for decrypting new titles.

The x86 addressing modes are a lot simpler than the 680x0. You can see that in John Mashey’s numerical comparison of RISC and CISC: https://userpages.umbc.edu/~vijay/mashey.on.risc.html

max instruction size: 486, 12; 040, 22. (x86 has since grown to 15)

number of addressing modes: 486, 15; 040, 44

indirect addressing? 486, no; 040, yes

max number of MMU lookups: 486, 4 (but usually 1); 040, 8 (but frequently 2)

So it wasn’t just manufacturing, it was also the difficulty of the task. 680x0 was second only to the VAX in terms of the complexity of its instruction set.

>What is the conversation around science funding meant to look like? Spending money on productive investments is a great idea, but the practice of the US government is nowhere near that.

This year's Nobel prize for chemistry went to three Americans (edit: I was mistaken, one of them was living in the USSR when his initial discovery was made, though he now lives in the US). Both the winners of the Nobel prize in medicine were American. and one of the three winners of the Nobel prize in physics was American. By what metric are we "nowhere near" productive in how we fund research?
That's in part because the instruction set is so logically laid out that if you understand the matrix of registers, base mnemonics and addressing modes that you can pretty much work out the rest in your head. Lance Leventhal made a pretty good book as well.

Also, thickness. The “hole” is not a perforation, it’s an area with less density.
Is this how you define fair though? I tend to think more about the revenue split percentage.
Yes, that's true it was a bit more expensive. But the real money back then was not in the CPU but in the RAM. Silly prices for tiny memories.
My understanding (from things I’ve read years ago and this may not be 100% correct) is that early on in the steam era, cartels were formed in the UK, with the help of royal charters. Mining, transportation, distribution, etc were all controlled by a small handful of companies for maximum profit.

Coal was expensive and scarce (ish). So while railroads did build their infrastructure out of durable materials like stone, the gentle grades and wide turns were necessary to allow smaller, less powerful, more efficient locomotives to move freight around the nation.

In North America, that was not the case. Coal was cheap and plentiful, and available from all sorts of vendors and locations. Ultimately, it was easier to overpower obstacles with bigger locomotives than to put the effort into wringing maximum efficiency from what you had. The consequence was a much more rapid pace of technological development. And when the markets opened up in the UK, their firms were not prepared to compete.
Beside the mentioned points concerning the Itanium, there was another one that is important to consider: the Itanium was simply too expensive for many customers/applications (think: "typical" companies who buy PCs so that their employees can use them for office work; private PC users who might be enthusists, but are not that deep-pocketed; ...).
>That's certainly possible, but did that actually happen in practice?

Yes, see 4k blurays for requiring HDCP 2.2 requiring people to get a new bluray player.
I’d imagine contracts with record companies are expensive or difficult to get at a large scale.
For the recent WebP exploit, IIRC no preview render was even required to trigger it; simply receiving the message was sufficient. The exploit was triggered by a code path in Blastdoor that headlessly rendered the malicious WebP that was embedded within a Passkit attachment.

(But I can't find a source for this atm. I remember reading it somewhere, but maybe I'm confusing it with a previous Blastdoor exploit.)
This makes total sense, and that's how I work too. Comic artists, animators and directors all spend a lot of time on storyboarding before actual production.

Firstly, the GDPR doesn't care about PII - that's an American legal term and the GDPR is an EU law. It deals with processing personal data, and the two are not the same (although there is overlap, with PD having a more expansive definition).

Secondly, consent is only one of six legal bases for processing personal data. The other five are that:

- processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

- processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;

- processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

- processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; and

- processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.

The last of those - legitimate interests - is clearly appropriate, the rights of the data subjects (i.e. the IP addresses' users) don't override the legitimate interests of securing one's machines, especially given the limited processing performed by tools like Fail2Ban.

Intellij does a lot, and VS Code is very light. Some people prefer an IDE that does a lot, but some don't care and benefit from VSC being lightweight. Also, some projects are janky, and VS Code is easier to get to ignore that jank. Plus, I find VS Code's hotkeys to be much more intuitive as a long-time Windows user and hotkey addict.

No matter what I do locally, the final word is a pipeline build. A command line is closer to that than either IDE, so at times I've really appreciated VS Code mostly getting out of my way.
