Yeah it makes sense for their respective industries. There’s no dramatic manufacturing breakthroughs between a Model 3 and a Model S, just features and material quality, with the S having lower quantities at a higher profit margin.

Going back further there’s the Roadster, and it’s a good thing that was a niche vehicle because they hadn’t settled on the Supercharger design yet.

With the UK having their share of railway reform (and love/hate relationship), I'm wondering if there's an objective assessment of the two countries' systems according to being on-time, being broadly available wrt place/time, pricing, and general customer satisfaction. The article mentions people blaming service deterioration on Deutsche Bahn being state-owned and without competition. UK should be quite different after Thatcher's privatization campaign starting in late 80s (been there in early 90s on a London station heading to the east, totally confused which train to board while being yelled at ^H informed over the speaker about the service provider/operator but not much else).
every CPU benchmark needs to have another line drawn waaaay under all of the lines drawn for various CPUs...we shall label this line "performance you actually need and can make use of"

if all of the CPUs are above this line, then you should not use CPU performance as a determining factor

> The fascinating thing to me is that the EPP(European peoples party) which ironically is the strongest party in the EU and seems to be the one least representative of the people spans across almost all EU nations.

Why you think that? It's the moderate conservative party. How many liberal democracies doesn't have one of those as a major party?

> I find it very disturbing how the EU party system works above country party systems, where the EPP often overrides what the people in their own respective countries voted for.

I'm not sure this exactly you're complaining about, but isn't that the inevitable result of any quasi-federal system? The federal government will inevitably end overriding what an individual state wants sometimes.

There was some discussion of the automatic placement in this panel interview.

If I remember correctly, the software that performed the placement was written by a graduate student who debugged it from a terminal at his dormitory. It was one of many project decisions on the i386 that management would have absolutely stopped had they been made aware.

https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/10270201...

"386 is a complicated processor (by 1980s standards), with 285,000 transistors..."

Interesting that ARM1 was only 25,000 transistors. Did the i386 really have additional features that justify an order of magnitude?

One thing is certain in retrospect: Intel should have bought Acorn, not Olivetti.

Edit: Wow, there is even more detail on the placement software in the Righto article; the software was "Timberwolf" written by Dr. Carl Sechen.

Edit2: It appears that later versions of Timberwolf were sucked into Yale's licensing.

...Sechen served as an expert witness in the Cadence/Avanti trial in 2000 and 2001... "I had a chance to examine a great deal of the code in question when I was an expert witness on the trial. It was amazing – I even saw my own TimberWolf code in their tool, where only a single line of code had been changed. And I don’t mean the earlier, far-inferior version of TimberWolf available from Berkeley. The version I found in Avanti’s suite was a far more state-of-the-art version that had somehow been ‘acquired’ from Yale."

Edit3: Graywolf is a fork of the last free version of Yale's Timberwolf.

Citation needed that Google actively blocked installation of the benchmarking app. None of the links support that claim. If Google want to block benchmarking, they would have had their lawyers add that clause to the reviewers' contracts/NDAs as a condition of getting the device early. Since this is a technical issue, I'm guessing the benchmarking software didn't properly configure their Play Store account and mark the P8 or the new Android OS as compatible with the software. That would prevent it from being installed via the Play Store but not via sideloading.

Disclosure, I used to work at Google on Android so I have some familiarity with how Play Store rollouts work.
I respect you for asking. Learning to manage better has never stopped for me but the difference between no training and some is massive. It will be good for you and your colleagues.

The book that has made the most difference to me as a manager is Crucial Accountability and it's very relevant to what you're asking about.

I'd really encourage you to do an intro to line management type course as well. I've never known anyone come out of one saying that was amazing but people always find them useful.

They're getting there, they're building a more direct route between Karlsruhe and Basel. At the moment though, these ICE and cargo trains are passing through some tiny villages with barely more than two tracks.

I really wish cargo trains could just pass underground via tunnelling tech. They are obscenely loud, and given the mountain-valley nature of the villages in the Rheinland, their sound travels very far in the night, and often echoes around.

Travel for work or travel for fun or other obligations?

I'm aware of some people who really do need to travel for their work, and I'm okay with that.

I'm less okay with traveling regularly for fun, with an exception for the first time or two visiting another place far away from where you grew up; I want this for anyone who is open to seeing how similar we humans are regardless of culture and location.

For family obligations like weddings and funerals, I'm personally disinclined but accept that these events can be really important to be in person for.

As for reward games like airlines, businesses, and credit cards play, I don't like them at all. I either want to travel or I don't, and I don't want the pressure to take another flight just so I can get a free flight later.

Is a deputy director really an exec? My understanding is that typically VP and up is considered an exec. And a director would be responsible for decisionmaking in a large scale; while a deputy director would focus on execution of the vision of the director.
The sheer insanity that we’re telling a computer not to “‘as a poem’, etc” as a way of guiding its output.

How to Run a 5k with Strangers
The Swiss are the only ones using it, they are a small country as well. Hardly comparable with a multi-national body like the EU.
Another advantage is that if you pay random citizens full time to oversee the government, they will be able to talk and negotiate with each other directly, they will have the time to actually study and think about the issues, and they will be able to subpoena the information they need to take good decisions.

If you want people to vote meaningfully on issues, you have to empower them to cast the very best vote they could cast, and demarchy is basically the only way this could be done practically in a large society. The concept of a general election or general referendum is aberrant.

Yes, they could have not antagonized people, but that's not the problem. The problem is they fired workers for coordinating.

200-300kcal seems like an awful lot. Would the higher end of that scale, 300, apply primarily to larger men who burn alot more calories?

In the case of two small women who burnt <=2100 a day, a 300kcal difference would be the difference between one of them fasting for an entire day every single week and the other not.

That seems like a massive difference not "small".

Because of "resume driven engineering". Even simple problems that you can solve with PID controllers or Kalman Filters but everyone wants to throw ML at it instead, so they can put "ML experience" on their LinkedIn because that's what's hot right now as recruiters probably never heard of Kalman filters or PID controllers.

A lot of technical decisions aren't based on "what's the quickest, cheapest and easiest solution to the problem?" but "what solution is most likely to get me hired at a pay bump when I jump ship?"

> Does that mean sodium is effective or ineffective?

This comment misidentifies what the authors see as the active ingredient. They are not trying to study sodium. They are trying to study ascorbate. If you want to study ascorbate, then also giving sodium to one group and not the other will confound your interpretation of the results, as it does here.

> Let’s say the authors modify the study as you suggest and use sodium chloride as the active ingredient

That is not, at all, my suggestion. The authors have identified the active ingredient they want to test. Their test, however, was imbalanced in other ways. I am pointing out that imbalance.

In the UK, there's no requirement that the cabinet is formed of elected representatives. Government ministers are often Lords.

Besides, even if the defense secretary is an MP, he wasn't elected on a platform of national security by the population. So if there's a non sequitur anywhere, it's in application of any democratic legitimacy to the job of holding a significant cabinet post by winning the votes of a few ten thousand people for commons seat.
You mean different purposes by humans or different purposes by machines?

For machine manipulation, I think it makes more sense to directly manipulate the AST.

For human manipulation, I think the cognitive overhead of mentally converting between the display syntax and the canonical syntax would far outweighs any gains in readability. But maybe your workflow is different than mine - If you have a lot of custom macros in your editor, I could see s-exps being useful (although, again, I think exposing and directly manipulating the AST would be less error prone)
I imagine there are about 4 other people like you though. Weird nieche to be targeting.
Surveillance is a key to controlling the general public. It's as simple as that. It's a distraction to look at what they put on the cover or how they sell it.

Wow…I think you have that mixed up. You have a very inflated view of the value you add at only 4 years of experience. I am nearing 4 decades in tech and I can count on one hand the number of devs (out of hundreds) have met in my career that when they were at 4 years of experience brought enough value to justify a $140k salary in 2023 dollars.

The LLM is not a chatbot. We are using it to predict the text that would be produced by a chatbot, if one were to exist.

In theory I guess this instruction makes it more likely to output the kind of tokens that would be output by a chatbot that was quietly thinking to itself before responding.

Does it work? Who knows! Prompt engineering is just licensed witchcraft at this point.
I don’t get why we can’t just define let’s say up to 100 people as private and more than 100 people as public when it comes to chat.

The fact that we treat groups with 10.000 people on chat with the same level of privacy as 1:1 or 100 people seems like an unreasonable thing from a harm prevention alternative.

There’s enough nuance in hanging out with your closest friends and acquaintances in private manners but not applying the same to 10.000 people.

From a harm prevention perspective that would slow down the proliferation of material and distribution vectors a lot while maintaining practical privacy for 90% of usecases.
> Nevertheless, for optimum performance

On conventional SIMT implementations (pre-Volta), the programmer also has to be aware of it to not cause deadlocks in the atomics across different lanes in the same warp.

On NV Volta onwards, each SIMT lane has its own instruction pointer with opportunistic reconvergence when possible.
Honest question. How do we morally differentiate human-caused climate change from natural climate change (I.e: Ice ages naturally come and go)

I get that that human-led climate change means that humans are mucking things up (which sucks). But if humans cause large swings in climate that would happen naturally, then it’s not like what we’re causing is unique right? It’s just natural phenomenon from unnatural causes.

It seems to me, that humans are rightfully worried about existence. But even large-mass-scale extinction is a natural repeating phenomenon. So I say long live the next species (which I can only assume is sharks with freakin’ laser beams attached to their heads https://youtu.be/INFavIUmhcE)

> Anyway i would complain when it was 5minutes late. "This is ridiculous!! How can the trains be so bad here!!!".

> Now having lived in the USA for almost a decade i will never again complain like this.

The German way is rather to compare the punctuality of the German trains to Swiss or Japanese ones: these are a lot more punctual, so this problem is mostly solvable.

Thus German citizens legitimately ask why are the Swiss and Japanese able to solve this problem, and we can't? In particular in consideration that this is considered to be an engineering problem where many German citizens consider Germany to be better in than Switzerland or Japan (legitimately or not shall remain undecided).

mRNA vaccines and CART seem pretty revolutionary tbh. Watch this space.
I've always been curious about my own metabolism. When I was a teenaeger / in university I ate pretty badly. Chocolate bars every day after lunch, loads of carbs, not to mention alcohol, etc etc. I was rail thin. I once got a body fat assesment when I joined a gym (I did no exercise at all and this was a brief attempt to get buff) and the person doing the test was shocked and couldn't pinch anything to measure. I had no fat. This lasted till I was 25 where seemingly overnight I then had to watch what I eat or I started to gain fat. So what explains this seeming inability to gain weight no matter what I ate, and in my mid twenties having a more normal response to junk food?
I've been thinking that maybe we need the opposite - a citizens veto. The threshold would have to be high enough to ensure it's not abused by individual groups (maybe 2/3rds?), but the ability for the population to decide against measures (maybe even individual parts of omnibus bills) would create new controls against overreach without completely throwing away the current system.
What's wrong with 2021-11-21T15:10:35 ?

>Independently of the broader privacy and surveillance topic, this is highly concerning: if institutions, like the EC, start to run agendas through and by carefully created echo chambers and keep certain segments of the demographic out of the loop, all is lost, as there is no common and public realm of political discourse anymore.

It's especially annoying since many people who vote in the EU are a bit more... extreme? Like when you're marketing to "Beligum" or "NL" whatever... the people who've been there multiple generations are the right wing parties.

The folks obeying the spirit of the laws are like the students in America, oft not registered locally.

It's a feedback loop of the same sort who Brexited being sent other things in their feeds.

I agree with the author:

>If there is insufficient support for a proposed legislation, the only proper democratic response is to withdraw it

I'm tired of this fraternity brother model of public policy -- ask until you hear the "yes" you wanted from those who didn't block you from being heard at all.
Same here. I've benefited from hand me down devices for a long time, and I wish I could still be using the Samsung S3- so light, I have several spare batteries, it fit in most pockets, and it has a 3.5mm headphone jack. The iPhone SE from 2015 that recently I gave to one of my parents was nice, too.

My laptop is also from more than a decade ago, and I'm happily running LMDE 6 on it.
All Intel 386s were CMOS though, so the added C on the die-shrink shouldn't mean CMOS.

From my understanding they continue to patch even when the developer has abandoned the title. iD doesn’t care if Doom won’t run on a new graphics card, but the consumer will so it’s in GPU maker’s problem, not the developers (they already have your money).
My old phones' timer said "Less than 1 minute" instead of saying 59 seconds... Everything less than one minute whas "Less than 1 minute".
The difference for me was that my home was a 2 minute walk to the train station and work 5minutes.

Without changeovers it was essentially 3 hours of "Do what you want to do online guilt free without distraction" sitting in a seat on the train. I'd hate to do any form of intermodal commute but zoning out on a single train? Easy! In fact kind of a nice forced escape.
