I would think a system could be made. A specialized dashcam that signs the video, you submit a chunk showing the offense and say 30 seconds on either side so the police can see if it was provoked.
Good point, I can see that happening. I was talking about all the, say, hourly scripts running serially.
Are you even reading the text you cite? That compares SIMD to SIMT. SIMD, not SPMD. SIMD is a more restrictive hardware paradigm, SPMD is just a mutiple copies of a single program running on multiple processes/threads, i.e., exactly what CUDA does.

Most MPI-programs are SPMD, and really, the only conceptual difference between MPI and CUDA is that a thread's id is a point in a grid space that's relevant for scheduling and memory locality. Oh wait, that's true for MPI as well, only the scheduling and memory locality relates to CPU cores and nodes, instead of CUDAs SMPs and blocks.

The only real justification for a different programming model is that SIMT creates opportunities for implicit SIMD on a thread scheduling level if you've written your program in a way that the warps don't diverge.
I used an older iPad Pro 11 as my primary computer for a while, using Moonlight [0] to get my workstation onto the screen locally. Gaming even worked fine, with the caveat that there is no mic support via Moonlight so I had to use an alternate solution.

I found it perfectly workable, but a MacBook ended up just being better. If you only have/want one device (perfectly reasonable) then yes, an iPad can be amazing, either via apps or via RDP solutions. My primary issue was screen real estate, and the fact that a 12.9" iPad Pro was almost the same cost as the MBP I ended up buying (special case, evaluate your prices and values).

I still like the idea, and the newest M1 iPad seem more suited, but the cost is an issue when compared to a MBP or MBA, unless you have a specific use case for the iPad (art, etc.).

Nope. Gaussian splatting is for reconstruction of images or 3D shapes not a method for generating them.
I wonder if it's comparable to using a magnifying glass, in the sense that it's the hottest only at one specific point, even though the rays are traveling through the medium (air) at all points. So maybe it's like a magnifying glass for sound and the cancer is the ant that gets fried?
> We had a toilet paper shortage during Covid, you really can’t imagine a food shortage?

We had a run on food as well. What happened is that we prioritised food delivery, with in some instances the support of the army IIRC. Something we understandable were not willing to do for toilet paper.

There is a simple reason for that: you cannot have a functioning country if there is a famine and governments will do everything they can to keep a grip on their country.

If it comes to this, having a well stocked pantry becomes the least of your worries as you now have to defend it against your starving neighbours. They won’t be deterred by tough guy smugness.

It’s a good idea to have stocks because it helps mitigating short-term price spikes or unforeseen circumstances such as an accident. Not having stocks won’t cause anyone to starve.
Over my life I’ve been close to a small handful of perpetually skinny people who thought they had high metabolisms. In every case, when I watched them closely, I realized they barely ate anything.

My ex-gf was one of these people and would routinely tell people about how she could eat anything and not gain weight. But when I would go on a severely calorie-restricted diet I was still eating more than she did on a normal day. I don’t think she was lying about being able to eat anything, I think she just didn’t realize how little she actually ate.

I'm not in favor of doing it, but you pick up some benefits in some cases.

For TCP, if your server doesn't deal well with bogus packets, having a stateful firewall allows dropping data packets without an associated connection. Stateful firewalls may have syncookies where your server os doesn't, in case you're running 20 year old servers or macos servers.

For UDP servers, it could be potentially useful if the rate limiting in the firewall is more flexible than in the server application. But for DNS, usually you're looking at one request -> one response, I don't know why you would want a state for that.

Of course, it is useful to mix stateful and stateless: allow all the service related traffic without state, but allow for incidental outbound traffic with state. Drop everything else. But that's really more about having a clear access control layer than protecting a host from network abuse.

On a related note, I dislike when time zones are omitted from displayed datetimes. I have to guess: Is it my client's tz, the server's tz, UTC, or something else?
Sure, they’re both technically correct, but that wasn’t the question. The question was

> Where have you seen a service describing something posted less than 12 hours ago as being "posted last week" rather than "posted yesterday"/"posted today"?

Every single time display library I have seen will do as the poster explained, and show more granular information the closer it is (generally starting at “X seconds ago”). Your technicality is certainly true, but a strawman.

The oil came from small microorganisms that fell out of carbon cycle by getting themselves in places where they could not rot or get burned. The same story is behind coal, except it is not possible to generate any more coal deposits naturally.

The reason we have coal is some hundreds of millions of years ago there were huge plants that would topple but there was nothing on Eearth yet that could completely digest plant matter. So the biomass would basically stay where it fell and new plants would grow on top of dead ones. This explains the shape of coal deposits.

Some time later I think fungi evolved that could digest cellulose and any plant afterwards would rot rather than get burried. This explains why ALL coal deposits in existence are older than something like 600M years.

Civilisation emits more new (coming from oil and coal) carbon to the atmosphere every 10 years than is contained in the entire Earth's biomass.

Even if you planted every single place on Earth that could accept a tree, you would not double Earth's biomass. If you did this and then somehow managed all those trees from dying, the only thing you would achieve is you would delay the entire proces by roughly 7 to 8 years. And if you can't prevent trees from dying or getting burned, you only get about 5 years.

From my point of view, planting trees is a huge distraction. There is absolutely no way planting trees will get us out of our problems, it is much better to start thinking about something actually productive.
It’s more of a reconstruction technique than rendering technique. But the power is the 3D differentiable renderer. That means we can optimize an output image to look exactly as we want - given sufficient input data. If you want to learn more take a look at differentiable rendering and 3D multiview reconstruction.

That article is not very applicable to "here in the USA". Isn't Lafayette, LA the largest muncipality in its vicinity?

I live in a 60,000 population suburb in a top ten metro area, all the adjacent towns are similar poplulation, demography, and economic status. In other words more than half a million population in my county.

In my neighborhood alone, which was developed 70 years ago, the roads are maintained, our sewers are replaced, our electric still works (and how to you "overbuild" electric in the first place?)

Yes, we have periodic tax increases. Strongtown argument that cities are unsustainable because the citizens don't want to pay for maintenance aren't very convincing.
I think you are ignoring CO2 emissions. Off road vehicles produce a large amount of pollution (particulate , etc) but are a smaller contributor when it comes to greenhouse gas.

Because an algorithm isn't a human, so the usual "fair use" and inspiration arguments do not apply 1:1. The possibilities opened by e.g. film studios recording voice actors, trainign algorightms on them and then just reusing their voices, or deepfaking actors' faces, or Copilot giving verbatim copyrighted code are endless and quite different than what was currently possible.

Does Microsoft violate copyright by training a model on copyrighted works? A human can read them and use them for inspiration, is that what a model does?

They already 'know everything' (or enough) to control my life.

You think I can rob a bank tomorrow and not be known? Past a certain 'crime threshold' and the three letter agencies take a keen interest in everything/anything I do... I'm out of trouble right now, that's all.

Let them control everything... in the long long term it will be flipped against them. 1984 oppressed the political class.

And when the political class flees visible power... the same 'cybersecurity' folks will occupy the power vacuum, trapping themselves in their own tech bubble.

I've never seen someone so Secure.. as someone who constantly preens his security cameras, his up-to-date door locks, his impenetrable garage walls....

The whole state of tech right now is a racket, designed to make those pigs 'more equal than others' feel emotionally safe in their data centres.

The only way to get the pigs off our back is to manualize tech and make all the average joes on this planet, able to control tech from top to bottom, completely transparently and completely separate from the System.

When my son can trivially modify the instruction set on the CPU in his Smart Chainsaw, and reconfigure every single bit of code and enter every abstraction layer - as easily as we change capacitors on a dishwasher - then the guy in the security bunker analyzing every single molecule entering his 'secure enviornment' is laughably 'secure'...
I also agree that modeling the time dimension by MLP can be more rational than self-attn. It learns the weightings from time points with the same physical meaning.

Honestly a quite funny post. You offer strong emotion wrapped in a story lending supposed crédence but give no single fact of what this abhorrent thing is that the European commission is doing. You read one (extremely technical and niche) regulation and it's horrible, in what way? And the European commission does not adopt regulations, it's parliament and council that do (the commission only proposes them).

Honestly this kind of post serves no purpose or benefit. I certainly disagree (e.g. the commission is very useful in fighting against authoritarianism in Central Europey research funding, data protection, trade, ...) but there's not even facts to disagree with, just an emotional fact-free rent. If I was a troll that's how I would write.
>IME better creators have higher respect for their audiences and create better, even entertaining sponsor segments.

This teeters on the verge of being a shill's comment. This concept of "creators" being any different than any other social media "influencer" that is doing things for clicks/likes/subscribes opposed to "respecting" their audience is just farcical. Are there various degrees of their insincerity, of course.

I never drank the social media Kool-aid. I find it very disconcerting how many people from the social media generations actually believe that these "creators" shilling products are anything more than what they actually are.

It might also have a positive effect on artists themselves. See Jevon's Paradox on increasing efficiency of production increases demand.
totally valid point. I would expect most people to be surprised that the variance is typically smaller than a spoonful of peanut butter, but the nature of gaining or losing weight is such that even a spoonful of peanut butter over years could be the difference between many pounds of body mass.

2 minutes isn’t even really bad build times.

I think that part of “compile times suck” is that, when we are learning, we are building extremely small programs. Hundreds of lines at the very top end. During this phase of our personal development, we build a habit of writing a line of code, then compiling. Then changing an index, then compiling. Then realize we use a wrong variable, then compile. Then <some other minor thing> then compile.

Somewhere along the way, we get to needing to build thousands or hundreds of thousands of lines, and there’s very frequently no build up to this so our habit of making very minor change and then making the compiler tell us what’s wrong hurts.
Human errors are not corrected by discipline and justice. Drunk driving is still a huge problem.
I used to put exact time/date information into tooltips, thinking "the users that need it can find it without overloading the UI". I ended up undoing a lot of that a few years later when user interviews demonstrated that hyperlink-style underlines was insufficient for users to think "mouse over this".

With the prevalence of emoji and higher resolution displays, I wonder if tooltip hinting with an obnoxious question-mark or magnifying-glass image would be sufficient to hint to older/less-savvy users.
