Yeah having worked for an electronics manufacturer they really really want to standardise this stuff where possible because every screw is a critical component and having many different types it means you can have many different chances to run out of stock and interrupt production. It also makes the manufacturing line more complex and training longer.

But in many cases there's just specific needs. Besides length, exterior screws are often countersunk, while internal ones would have flat heads to distribute the pressure over a PCB.

When it comes to stopping customers fiddling with the equipment look at Nintendo that use a different proprietary screw head for everything.
It's the keel that makes it possible to sail upwind in any useful sense. There are functional equivalents possible e.g. a catamaran can have very narrow-but-deep hulls, but it's the the fact that a keel provides very little drag straight ahead and a lot at 90 degrees which allows you to sail close-hauled.

I remain unconvinced it's impossible downwind, given gliders and parasailing work.
Woa, careful. That's not true. The staff duty roster was used by the prosecution to argue that Lucy Letby "the common denominator" in all the suspicious deaths:

Chief among these was the duty roster spreadsheet showing staff shifts, through which the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) was "able to show the jury that Letby was the one common denominator in the series of deaths and sudden collapses on the neonatal unit".

That is totally statistical information - even though it's, shall we say, lay statistics and not what you'd expect to see from a statistician.
I think the next big innovation in LLMs (sort of like the attention mechanism) will be some method of distributing work to much smaller, specialized, and capable units, rather than having one giant network.

We already see hints of this with MoE, but something entirely new wouldn't surprise me.

EU has been trying to work with Apple on this almost since the lighting cable was released.

I believe there were discussions about potentially standardizing on Lighting if Apple relinquished it's tight control over the technology but they were not interested in that path.

The EU decided that Apple cannot dictate what cables are used to charge their phones to the degree of at one point charging manufacturers $4 per cable (to be fair it seems like Apple was providing the hardware so it wasn't a pure licensing charge).
I am all thumbs when it comes to hardware, and Raspberry Pi is about as easy to put together as imaginable. I purchased my Pis in "kits" provided by resellers, and assembling the kits takes about 15 seconds.
In the same sense that a CPU not supporting hard floats gives software the 'opportunity' to implement soft-floats.

With RISC-V's current design, you can either not do fusion and eat a penalty, or you can do fusion.

Different ISAs may have a greater or lesser need for fusion, and greater or lesser associated penalty. It seems a little obtuse to insist the ISA doesn't encourage fusion, when other ISAs would avoid a structural penalty for not having fusion, that RISC-V intentionally doesn't try to avoid at all.
>I like writing because it forces you to turn vague feelings into concrete ideas.

Yep. I've started painting my dreams and it is surprisingly difficult to turn vague memories into concrete scenes. It's almost physically exhausting.
It's unbelievable how that campaign and even the hint of something like it here with internet mobs can obliterate the creative capacity of huge numbers of people. I write and make to understand things, and by example, I recently wrote about 12,000 words to get a yield of about 3,000 words of my best work. The stuff in that other 9,000 words will probably never see a screen again, but it had to come out to mine it for the single ideas and turns of phrase that become like library functions for dense, concise writing.

If you can't produce the raw material, you can't make anything new or good.
Yup, I've seen a lot of those. Cool and inspirational stuff.

> the fear of disappointment. Can I fulfill my parents expectations? Can I fulfill my own expectations? Will I fail? Will it hurt to face my own demons and my own fears of not succeeding?

This falls pretty squarely into the “expectancy” factor. You don’t have faith that you’ll obtain a pleasing outcome, hence you procrastinate instead.

From the article “Expectancy. Do you expect to succeed? Are you confident in your ability to achieve a great outcome in whatever you aspire to do? If your expectancy is high, then you’ll be more motivated and you’ll procrastinate less. It’s only natural: you’re more motivated to pursue something that gives you a good chance of having a pleasing outcome.”

But other than nitpicking defensively, I agree those good points. I'd still like to see what any actual bio-whatever engineers have to say.
Will you be providing this for bring-your-own-compute in general? There is a gaping hole in the market for this. All the big vendors that provide postgres as a service require you to be on very specific types of hosting like aws fargate, google gke etc (looking at you Crunchydata).

We are using Scaleway (french cloud) which is heaven when it comes to GDPR and Schrems compliance, but once we grow out of their managed db offerings or if we want something their managed db offering does not provide we are out of luck.

Been looking for a year more or less now and I am simply unable to find something that doesnt amount to us just paying a fraction of a consulting FTE to be our lightweight DBA. There are only so many ways you can set up postgres HA, it is amazing that no one has made a product out of doing it for someone else yet.
Even if you trust the developer (I don't), there is a chance that there is a bug or vulnerability in the software. Also you need to install different plugins from random anonymous guys from Github, and it is difficult to trust an anonymous person.

Your definition of ‘push’ here is make compulsory - which doesn’t make sense in the context anyway.

This reads like someone who think startups are structurally dependent on infinite VC money or loose spending due to low interest rates, perhaps because the writer's business is impacted. Nothing about rising interest rates prevents the formation of new businesses. Many great internet businesses were founded in 2008 (Airbnb, Uber, Whatsapp, etc). Let's not forget that businesses are supposed to make money, and it doesn't require that much capital to start a software business.r

At the very least the article does talk about one whole case study before offering more so there is some substantial free content, it’s an interesting way to partition an article for that.

On the other hand the length of the fire part of that article is enough that it is a stand-alone article. The whole thing is starting to look like one of those roundups or listicles that I’d like to teach YOShInOn to suppress (an article about everything isn‘t about something in particular) but the free part of the article is “just right” to me.

The Bozo Loop by Rachel Kroll (2012)
I have a pretty strong natural filter. Years of therapy and three different therapists have yet to get me to a place where I can truly open up, even when writing on a page I know no-one else will see.

Two days ago I did weed for the first time. I accidentally took a much larger hit than I meant to. For the first 15 minutes I had a complete out-of-body experience; nothing seemed real, I felt like I was floating through space, able to peer into reality at will, still not quite trusting that it wasn't all a dream. I'm pretty sure the term of art for what I experienced would be a psychotic episode.

After that... I lost my filter. Like, it was gone. And my mouth was a conveyor belt connected to the emotional part of my brain. No logic, just uninhibited speech, for 45 minutes, all while sobbing harder than I have in my entire life.

I exposed every last deep, dark secret I possessed. My fear of never being good enough. My fear that everyone in my life will leave me at some point. My fear that I've done so many hurtful things over my life that I'm unworthy of love and of the friends I have. And many more things I won't be sharing with the world, at least not yet.

Inside, it felt like my brain and my mouth were connected by a pipe, and all I could do was sit back and watch in horror as the very depths of my mind were laid bare for all to see.

A good friend of mine was with me while I did it. She heard everything. It's a mark of our friendship that she held me, reassured me that she loved me for who I am, not who I want people to think I am. Our friendship is even stronger now, something I would never have thought possible before having that experience.

It was terrifying, and yet oddly theraputic. I'm seriously considering cannabis-assisted psychotherapy now.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: there are a number of substances that induce mind-altering states in ways that are relatively safe and free from long term effects. If you're someone who can't seem to open up naturally, don't be afraid to try them. They just might change your life.

(As with everything, consume appropriately and safely. Have someone experienced in the substance you're consuming keep an eye on you. And for god's sake, don't do anything known to be addictive or to have severe negative side effects.)

Also, find friends who you can truly be yourself around, who love you even when they know the absolute worst about you. It makes all the difference to know that someone loves you not for who you want the world to think you are but for who you actually are.
My concern is not the amount of risk, but that the amount of risk is unknown.

Someone who has done a lot of skiing / parachuting can estimate well the risks of offtrack skiing and base jumping, plus lots of people have done it before and can inform you, plus the technology used (skiis / parachutes) have very long track records and known performance.

(Mountain biking doesn't seem to be in the same category, but whatever.)

Yes, good analogies.

> server RAM is for example also slower to compensate this e.g. recent EPYC processors run at up to 4800MT/s but a Ryzen 9 runs at up to 5200MT/s (without overclocking, with running at 6000MT/s isn't that uncommon)

Zen3 EPYC has 8 channels per socket and uses the same 3200MT/s DDR4 as Zen3 desktops, so this little explains why desktops couldn't have e.g. 4 channels if there was a need for it. They already commonly have 4 DIMM slots.

The rated speed for DDR5 is 8% higher for desktops, but the additional channels don't seem to be why. Intel uses 8 channels of DDR5 rather than 12 and it's still 4800MT/s.

Right, and he still owns ~12 percent of Amazon's shares regardless of not being CEO anymore - of course he still has some degree of influence, and his strong dislike of Musk and SpaceX isn't exactly a secret.

"Certain parts of Manhattan" is south of 66th St.

The things that people want to deal with the PITA of living in Manhattan over depend on volume of people. COVID and WTF killed commercial office traffic - now that it's getting dark early take a walk up 3rd Avenue in the late afternoon - the offices are empty.

So the residents don't want to deal with commuters, don't want to deal with drivers, etc. Cool. I don't want to hear about bailing people out of their $2M mortgages on 800 ft^2 apartments when the cultural, dining and entertainment that brought them to Manhattan migrates to Brooklyn and Jersey.
Is it really worse now than it was before?

Having a plug on say a laptop that can be a charger, a HID, a drive, a monitor, or all of the above with a docking station is vastly superior to the old day IMHO.

Unfortunately the cable to do that isn't cheap and is massively overkill for say a phone charger. Thus cable compatibility becomes a thing but looking at HDMI cable compatibility is always a thing.

I think the problem is what used to be complaints about niche connectors are complaints about USB-C and it feels different and more impactful even if it isn't necessarily.

After all I know back in the Mini-USB days you had manufacturers skipping the data pins to save some copper leading to frustration when you couldn't transfer files.
Within the CPU core (terminology here gets awkward). Spectre in its simplest to exploit form used the fact that the branch prediction based state wasn't completely cleared between running different threads on the CPU and led to a really easy timing attack. Time your own code to see which way the branch of the previous code likely went. There's a lot of CVE's around this but that's the simplest case.

The mitigations work by making sure to clear everything they can when the CPU switches contexts. This includes clearing loaded local CPU cache, clearing the branch prediction table, clearing all speculative execution entries. The mitigations likely avoid a crash by clearing something that should be cleared between context switches in all cases. As in the mitigations likely accidentally fix this. Which is a good clue. It'd be nice if the mitigations were more fine grained than all or nothing so we could turn on the mitigations one by one but the microcode is not open so we can't do this :(.

Most derivatives traders I know in the industry do some version of buy-and-hold for their personal portfolios, but one of the best I know does something completely different. He sticks to a philosophy of scanning multiple "small" cap companies(<50-100mm mktcap) until he finds one he generally likes, then figures out absolutely everything he can about them. Every piece of information available, down to calling whoever he can in management. Then once he decides he likes it, he commits 20-30% of his portfolio into them, often becoming a small, but notable investor in the company itself.

He's made massive amounts of money from this. He admits that it's basically a second job in terms of time and effort spent, but believes that it's replicable because no institutional investor is actually looking at these stocks, leading to hypothetical mispricings.
They are part of the hype. Lucene has vector search capabilities. Elasticsearch and Opensearch have support for that (slightly different implementations). I assume solr has similar capabilities. The combination of traditional search and vector search makes a lot of sense from a cost control point of view. Vector search at scale is expensive. The smaller the result set, the cheaper it is to do vector search over it. So using a cheap traditional search to limit the results before you run vector search makes a lot of sense.

Also, bm25 holds up well against vector search. A well tuned model can outperform it but many off the shelf models struggle to do that. Vector search is a useful tool but so far it's not a one size fits all solution that "just works". It's something that can work really well if you know what you are doing and with a lot of tuning. With things like Elasticsearch you can try both approaches.
