Director is what, L8? There's a ton of those.
Other than using copper to change palette entries at desired scanlines, Amiga 500 can display 64 colors in EHB (Extra Half Brite) mode with 6 bitplanes. Since there are only 32 palette entries, the upper 32 colors are otherwise same, but half the brightness.

And of course 4096 in HAM mode, but the mode has severe limitations and is completely impractical for textured 3D-games.
You realize that the specific things I called out are things julia doesn't do right? Those are the things in Java and Python and most other high level languages that prevent them from being fast. Julia's semantics specifically don't do those things.
Gregory Clark cites this fact in his book A Farewell to Alms:

Specifically, that situation prevailed from the 16th through 19th centuries. That's a brief period from a geological standpoint I suppose...

What really impressed me is that I was born around the same time as the A500 but I remember playing PC games that looked worse than this, hahaha.

Part of it is surely that I was using hand-me-down PCs and there was probably some time lag on the games that my dad would get through the sneaker-net.

The art style is also really solid and modern which I’m sure helps hide some of the limitations.
Those who appreciate the raw outdoors will know that National Parks are best compared to amusement parks. Family friendly, tons of rules and regulations you must follow, expensive, but granted: some really cool vistas too.

Much better is BLM land, US Forest Service land, and (sometimes) US Fish and Wildlife Service land. Free, generally unregulated, vast, and exceedingly beautiful in its own right.
New time-series benchmarks and models – paper, benchmarks and code
Yeah, to be clear I wouldn't advocate this route for your core product. But running CI workers? Sure. Especially macs, which have onerous usage restrictions in the cloud that negate most of the elasticity benefits you might otherwise see.
What you are saying does not match my and many other peoples reality. I personally have been denied a diagnosis even tho I have had done 3 previous assessments. This was even when I changed back to the same provider I had previously after a move. It seems every time I change insurance providers the new one does not believe that I am anything but a drug seeking addict. This is still the narrative for many people with ADHD. I am sorry that as a parent this is an aspect you dont see, but your kid will need to deal with it and many other struggles that you will never experience first hand.
> My experience is that many people want to buy scraped data that is against a large website's TOS such as Google, Amazon or Craigslist and the act of selling that data directly in a marketplace is likely to draw legal action from these companies as it's someone else's copyrighted data.

I came here to make substantively the same point. Scraping for your own personal use and re-use as a derived product is reasonably cool but can border into IPR concerns. Scraping to re-sell as a product, thats really stepping over a line.

This has been a problem since the days of the yellow pages phonebook. There are rules around when a catalog is in the public domain, page contents with data I don't think cross into the "its ok to just copy and resell" space.

I scrape several sources. World population and GDP stats are highly useful but finding good canonical sources was hard for a while there. I now use a Python API provided by the world bank, for most of them. Now I just have the problem that by economy, the inputs span 2019-2022 and I can't get a single authority for population estimates right "now" worldwide. But, scraping to resell that? I think it would be wrong.
I did update but it turns out the version in debian is hopelessly outdated anyway. Eventually I figured out how to install the latest version which does indeed work.
I've been working on a startup idea that involves a lot of scraping and I've thought about a general data market before but I came to the same conclusion that it is way too hard. I just use one of the many captcha solving services available and then build a convincing product around it that can be sold using "value based pricing".

All big players in the "information" economy found other ways to make money then sell data directly, for example Google's attention market for online ads or payment for order flow in trading.
In the nineties this would have saved the entire platform.
It's good, everyone gets the experience they want. Old faithful has a parking lot nearby.

I don't know that I'd want to encourage people with little experience in the actual wilderness and not enough interest to read up first to go too far in any case. That's the group that contains the people who think petting the bison is a good idea or who never considered that their cell phone might not work everywhere.

More tourists getting killed just ends up making things worse for everyone, esp the people who get killed.

Of course. It does an equivalent of suspend-to-RAM after a few minutes of inactivity. It then can stay in this state for at least several weeks. I'm not sure for how long, I have never left my book reader for more than two weeks.

Cold reboot after updates takes about 20 seconds, like my phone.

This strategy can work for cameras.
pretty much nothing about rethinking licenses specifically, or how that involves AI. whole lotta nothing, just 'trade secrets good'
I dont find it useless but if it wasn’t for work giving if for free i wouldn't pay for it.

I’ve been using it a bit to learn rust. It often generates code that is correct or seem correct but is horribly inefficient and sometimes just wrong. I don’t feel I can trust it.

When I use it for programming languages I am experienced with, it often isn't giving super useful suggestions or just generates very ugly code.
You have kind of missed the point on this one I think.
"Using somebody else's crypto library" is the shorthand path out but it's worth bearing in mind HOW you use the library may alter how well your product is protected, protects the data.

I like Peter Gutmann's work. I always thought he coded well. Libsodium also looks good. I know the authors behind ssleay, which became OpenSSL and they were people of good intent but the sheer number of exposed interfaces in that library.. its way way out of control.
> What happens when the next set of elections puts in somebody who uses that power for less than ideal purposes?

But a related question is whether the current status quo increases the probability that such an authoritarian will get elected in the first place.

On the one hand, yes, it's bad to give tools like this to a would-be authoritarian. But on the other hand, a lack of such tools may increase the chances that such an authoritarian will rise. They use the freedoms you gave them to get in, then strip those freedoms from you. A liberal and democratic society can't survive without some level of involuntary force applied against those who don't care for such ideals.
I've been always wondering how such articles come about. Does somebody sends the author a spec, in talking points, and suggests a payment? Or the author just came from some kind of a meeting, where the main points were discussed, and decides to write an article about them? It would be fascinating to find out.
Use human and robots. And UNION every query.

A Detective Sabotaged His Own Cases Because He Didn't Like the Prosecutor
I'm more of referring to materials, although later generation (Y and 3) seem to be using softer plastics tho some rattles are still there. I haven't driven Corolla for a while, but compared to decade old Mazda - only real leather is what I miss, else it's like every car 3 decades before.

Ultimately you have your choice tho.
Just to add to Nir's answer here:

Let's say your application takes several steps to build up a prompt dynamically, such as a RAG pipeline. You'll end up with a different prompt for potentially each user, depending on the application.

The result is you've likely increased the accuracy of the LLM, but at the expense of understanding the whole system's behavior by introducing more steps upstream of the LLM call. Those steps could be super simple, or they could be (like in our case) dozens of steps that could all potentially fail or have a bug or whatever.

And so how do you wrangle all of this in context? You need something like OpenLLMetry that treats a request to an LLM as one of several components that make up a request and/or user experience. Otherwise you're just throwing stuff at the wall, guessing at what could improve stuff (or guessing at what could make an eval score better).

According to this FAQ, snmalloc was designed for the Verona language:

Unfortunately, I cannot find any significant code samples for Verona on the website or in the GitHub repo. There are a few types defined in a pretty low-level way:

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple were to end up buying Globalstar, which would get them access to valuable globally available L-band spectrum.

Based on my experience with vets, a large percentage of the time it ends up living with the vet.

Every single one I know has a small menagerie of broken animals.
why? As I understand it 256 bit avx has been standard on x86 CPUs for generations. avx10 in this context just changes the number of instructions that can be done with 256bit registers. seems like it would be pretty silly to remove 256bit avx that is already useful.
You're wildly off the mark here. From the study quoted:

> In 2017, over 60% of 110,531 US veterinarians were female, and in 2016, approximately 80% of students enrolled at US veterinary medical colleges were female.

> The PMRs for suicide for all veterinarian decedents (2.1 and 3.5 for males and females, respectively), those in clinical positions (2.2 and 3.4 for males and females, respectively), and those in nonclinical positions (1.8 and 5.0 for males and females, respectively) were significantly higher than for the general US population.

So no, this has nothing to do with vets being disproportionately male (which isn't the case to begin with).
How does one abuse public transportation? The bus is gonna go from point A to B no matter what. Does it matter if i want to go back and forth all day long?

Surely there won't be enough people wasting their time like me to fill up the bus and make it unusable for others.

I got a 4g nokia dumb phone just for this occasion - few days of battery life, sturdy build, good for small trips/hikes where you usually have signal or as a backup phone
You could let users use end to end encrypted protocols for it (like signal, telegram or supposedly whatsapp)
the T(wo)LA of UC in UCSD/UCSC can't be entirely ignored. the p-system was very innovative, but ultimately got sidelined I think UC decided to self-host its teaching paradigm, well and good. If you'd gone to any other university without UC in its name you might not have had the p-System thrown at you so much. Obviously if you'd gone to UCB, things would have been radically different.

The interesting thing to me is that San Diego hosts the supercomputer centre and so there was a sense the engineers there really live in Fortan, did, and do.

(I was in the UK system at the same time as you, and my uni had Wirth on sabbatical for a year, during the ada/modula specification days. We all learned on Pascal on a Dec-10, unless you chose the other door and went LISP. I regret not going in the LISP door now, but hindsight is like that)

One can only guess at his reaction were he to know what was to come. Excitement at the strength of it? Disappointment at its tasteless design? The old Telford bridge makes a lovely footpath these days though.
As you know, the recent iPhones have special hardware modifications to enable that communication on different frequency bands, with significantly higher transmit power and lower data rates than regular unmodified cell phones, which is what determine the necessary antenna size.
There's a blur between the two camps once you get to the so called "AGI" thing.

People think creating super-human intelligence is a technological challenge, but given that we aren't able to consistently rank human-level intelligence, the *recognition* that some AI has attained "super-human" levels is going to be a religious undertaking rather than a technological one.

And we're kind of close to the edges of that already. That's why discussions feel a bit more religious-y than in the past.

tl;dr: until there's a religion that worships some AI as a "god", there won't be any "AGI".
But the countries that are being compared to the US are actually good places to live, so the analogy is flawed.
Good lord, did that ever strike me as pretentious and cliche.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio is free
If your need to document the world accurately is important to you, you should be using a dedicated device for that purpose.
People with disabilities get free park access, 4th graders get free park access, everybody gets free park access on MLK day and Veterans Day. Maybe we should just make national park access free again? I mean, I get that it comes out of my taxes, but it feels weird to charge people to wander around in nature. That's what we should be encouraging people to do.
I’m surprised Swift’s `$1`, `$2`, etc. weren’t mentioned in this article.

> In other news, we have a national Adderall shortage because it was widely prescribed to kids whose problem was being unable to concentrate during lockdown due to stress and depression.

This is an exceptionally cynical take on the situation, one that tugs the rage strings a little too neatly for me to think this is an accurate reflection of reality.

Drug companies have said it's part caused by increased demand but supply has also been affected by unpublished limitations on handling controlled substances, instituted by the federal government in response to the opiate crisis.

Anyone who thinks the blanket statement “cloud is expensive” really doesn’t know what they are talking about.
Right? It's inherently public land... why should one have to pay in order to access nature? When you put it in words, it truly sounds like late-stage capitalism manifest.
You can't judge whether something is AGI or not from how it works, that just leads to goalpost-moving. AGI is AGI if it can do certain things, no matter whether it's token-based or top-down or anything.
The problem is national parks have a vendetta against dogs. I love out of my car with my dog. If a place doesn’t allow dogs, it doesn’t allow me.

Granted, I prefer BLM, FWS, and FS land anyways. But don’t forget that NPS adamantly excludes whole classes of people.

That 10GbE NIC option on the low end Mac Mini was a dead giveaway.
Privitization would make the park an amusement park at the expense of access to nature. Actual nature access is a liability nightmare. There are 12-15 deaths per year a Yosemite, just to give an example. That's more people per two years than have died at disney land in its entire existence, even though disney gets an order of magnitude higher visitors.
You can also just walk in and get one in the moment. I get my annual parks pass every year from REI. Pays for itself in no time with the car/parking situation alone.
St Helena went from having broadband plans capping out at 2 Mbps down (capped at 31GB) to 20 Mbps down (unlimited)
I am really so sorry to hear about your son. I'm new to this whole thing having found out only 4 months ago and have to force myself to do these things and make the best of it.

Yosemite is where we went last week. I was glad the government shutdown didn't happen. And yea, we were able to use their paved trails to push her around in a stroller because it would have been otherwise quite nearly impossible to go anywhere. She's getting a little heavy to hold for extended periods of time. But it made her absurdly happy, so it was worth it.
Versus C++? I have many gripes with Go but I'd choose Go over C++ for a lot of uncomplicated stuff like backend web services that just have to have "pretty good" performance. Faster than Python, slower than C++, but not by much.

Killer "features" of Go:

- Very easy to get someone up to speed on it. I chuckle when I see positions advertised as "preferring Go experience". A good programmer can learn most of Go's features in a month.
- Makes a lot of "magic" impossible or so annoying as to be not worth writing. This means you can usually just read your dependencies' source code to easily figure out what they're doing. Nearly all Go code looks the same.
- Languages like e.g. Rust attempt to actually model certain problems accurately, which introduces a lot of unavoidable complexity. Go does not bother itself with such concerns as "correctness" in many cases. I sound snide but for many use cases this is the right move.
- Go moves slower and has a commitment to backwards compatibility that many other languages don't.
There’s tons of public land that is free to access. BLM, USFWS, USFS, maybe more. But people in general don’t want that land. They want the land with paved, maintained trails, where there’s always a ranger around the bend to help you out of any situation you might get yourself into. And I don’t mind them paying for those privileges.

Those of us who don’t need them have plenty of land to use.
On the other hand, Garmin/InReach use Iridium, which has safety-critical communication as its primary mission and provides it using a network featuring inter-satellite message routing.

COSPAS-SARSAT is usually a secondary payload of other satellites, is store-and-forward (i.e. if you're far from a ground station, it might take a while for a satellite to forward your emergency signal), and for most (but see [1]!) PLBs does not offer a return channel, i.e. you won't know whether your signal actually made it through or whether you'll need to keep moving to get line-of-sight.

> Garmin transmits at <2 watts. Cell phones maybe 125 mW. 406s, meanwhile, scream at the sky at 5+ watts; that's in class with a cell tower.

They use exactly as much transmit power as they need to. Importantly, Iridium modems get instant feedback on whether their transmission has made it through and can retransmit if required. Screaming isn't always the best way to be heard :)

> Nah. HN is great thanks to thoughtful community management.

What attracted me to HN is the great community management. I especially like rules such as "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says", "don't post shallow dismissals", and that "comments should get more thoughtful and substantive", among others. These good guidelines make comments here so much better than what I usually see on Twitter and Reddit. Whenever I visit those websites, I feel like I got nothing from it other than becoming upset. In contrast, I find that comments here are usually very constructive.

That was my experience, too - a couple of things which were better than AWS but this constant stream of paper cuts hitting all of the problems which weren’t cool enough to get someone promoted.

"there were a ton of people who did" you mean, this source is over a decade old and the diagnostic criteria have been updated since
It would be helpful to mention “signature” in the Data Integrity section. It’s not mentioned specially until later, which is a bit confusing … unless I’m confusing HMAC with the signatures related to CAs mentioned later in the article. Are they both not signatures?
I have fonts installed on my computer that I received from a boxed CorelDraw! Install in probably 1993. These have names like "Swiss721" and were created by Bitstream as visual clones of Helvetica or Times.

Unclear, your doctor would have to state that your ADHD is a permanent disability "that severely limits one or more major life activities." I'm not sure they'd be willing to do that after one 30 minute visit.

If you as an individual applied for this with a 30-minute ADHD diagnosis they might still give you the pass, because what's the point in arguing with you, but if a ton of people followed your lead then they'd probably start enforcing that criteria.
Yeah. Also, to be honest, we still have process and approvals to get through to spin up AWS stuff.

It’s not like process disappears just cause you’re not on your own hardware. Infra is still its own team with its own budgets poking and prodding at every damn turn for every little thing till rejecting your requests, you escalate and then have a 4 week battle over needing the space.
