I'm referring to threat models where the attacker might be able to manipulate time on the server, either directly or through NTP servers, etc. Personally it's not something I would worry about but I've heard it discussed and was wondering how big a concern it is.
There's a related idea, centered on the St. Petersburg paradox. It's the idea that the median outcome is sometimes a much better predictor of human behavior than the mean outcome: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3811154/
I had a lot of niche interests as a kid that apparently make me interesting as an adult. All of them are because I grew up in a small Wisconsin river town with parents who worked in the arts. Lots of time, minimal media exposure, and plenty of freedom to just… putter, learn and make. As my dad would say back then, ‘only boring people get bored, go find something to do’.

a 10-15 or 20 year time horizon that relies on 60 year old children selling the houses that they receive as beneficiaries

time to short mortgage backed securities folks /s

this article did not specify time horizons, but for reference 10 years in the past was 2013 and 20 years in the past was 2003. the predictive quality of your observation has little utility because there are too many other variables in that time frame, it doesn't make a difference for anybody now to know that there might be a glut of housing a whole nother generation from now, in completely manageable price trends downward across decades. we're looking for a catalyst for a crash, now.
Talked to my friend who is an actual dermatologist (to clarify, I am not his patient, he is a friend of mine through unrelated means, but we have been friends for many years irl; also has a couple published papers on skin cancer from the past few years, though the papers are about carcinomas), and he blasted this whole thing as a massive grift, and I am inclined to believe him (given both his expertise and the fact that none of the larger more respectable publications are covering this story). Glad I asked him, because it seemed like one of those “too good to be true boy genius media hype” stories from the start.

His take was that given the chemical makeup of this soap, it could potentially help with prevention by leaving a layer of antioxidants on skin, similar to a sunscreen, but in no physical realm can it actually treat or reverse existing melanoma (and there aren’t even any topical treatments currently in existence that can accomplish that). Like, not even in a “i doubt it works” way, but more like “I am upset about him giving this empty hope to people who might actually get baited by this, while someone is going to be making money off their desperation with such grifting.”

As for the $0.5 cost of the soap, i think that’s how much it costs them to produce, not how much it would be selling for.
Typed Racket probably.
Depressingly accurate. How I hate these useless "changes" paragraphs accompanying YouTube and the daily Netflix app update on iOS and Android (why would a video player need so many updates to do exactly the same thing for years: show a selection, permit selection of a video, scrub, pause?!)
If this is such a big problem, why have the other RISC-V high performnace people never made this into a big issue?

This really just seems to be Qualcomm wanting it to be more like ARM so they can use their existing cores. That seem pretty clear from what they are proposing.

Weird to write an article about Liz Truss as a math snob (a description that seems rather stretched to be honest) without mentioning that her father, John Truss, is a fairly well known model theorist! (Even though they're not really very close from what I've been told by students of the latter)
Not to be a pedant, but if you examine the particular word choice in each of your competing propositions, you'll see that you both managed to find a way to be technically incorrect.

Let's hope language doesn't have something to do with how humans perceive reality! (Or, maybe I have that backwards.)
I was curious to see if anyone tried leveraging an LLM for summarizing diffs, and of course they have. An example here: https://github.com/anc95/ChatGPT-CodeReview/pull/21

It seems to me it misses the mark a little -- the text is so verbose, it's easier to read the code itself.
Androgen hormones are widely known to aid in recovery. This is nothing new.

If Qualcomm’s offering is performant (in its dollars, power and speed mix) and Qualcomm keeps it open enough (I think this is at the moment, as they are using an instruction set that anybody can copy), would Qualcomm’s customers care about that? If so, would Qualcomm?

The largest possible concern I see is that customers would have to be convinced that Qualcomm can deliver good compilers that don’t inadvertently spit out instructions not supported by their somewhat off-beat hardware.
Good point. Timestamps probably have a much better set of tradeoffs.
I think your concept of productivity is faulty.

The point being made is that your increased speed to market comes at a cost

Yes there are many applications that probably just don't need to exist but you can make a living cranking out

Not everyone should do any one thing all the time. But we have to be careful not to always discard hard work in favor of speed and convenience.

Jon Blow and Casey Muratori are reminding people to take responsibility for what we're doing. Learn how things work and be ambitious.
> is sleep just normal PC suspend-to-RAM? Doesn't that work on normal PCs?

Yes, but it's very well implemented. In fact, it's so quick and dependable that if I'm playing a game and someone comes up to talk to me, I'll put the device to sleep rather than pausing. (Not for any particular reason, it's just muscle memory now.) I've played a dozen or so games of all types so far and have never had a problem with suspend yet, so it seems that Valve did put a lot of effort into it.

Debian has already started compiling it, and even more will be by the time this new incompatible ISA would hit the shelves.

The time to 'get it right' has already passed IMO. If a hard ISA compatibility break happens at this stage, who is going to trust that it won't happen again?
It is possible to sequence messages across multiple channels although of course you have to design the transport protocol to support that. Alternatively you can just have typed, ordered messages within the same channel, which is a much more likely design for something like this.
Oh good. I'm not going to die in poverty. Going to celebrate a little now :)

We use similiar gpg-based one in our Configuration Management infrastructure, works really well.

The data files are encrypted with keys of the CM main servers and other admins, GIt has history in case something that should not get removed got removed and if you want you can also force that the data will always be signed with certain keys on server side git hooks if you want to have more accountability than just git logs.

With little config even git diff/git log work showing unencrypted (if you have right key) content.
it does provide rotational stability (along with the PCL, between the femur and tibia; the condyles help here too) but it’s primarily job is lateral stability in the front-to-back direction, because without that, you cannot negotiate uneven terrain at all. this is vividly illustrated in a dissection by manipulating the knee with and without cutting the ACL. with no ACL, the knee is a wobbly mess, especially in the front to back (ventral-dorsal) direction.

ACL injuries have long been known to be worse in women because of anatomical differences in weight distribution relative to hip to femur to tibia angles, both statically but especially in motion.
Doesn't that mean that the USD/EUR is deprecating at the same rate thereby balancing this effect ?

Germany is wildly underestimated in the current moment. The immigration wave has changed the demographics, Germany is not going to age quickly and it is growing in population.
Economics in particular is seen as a reputable subject based on numbers, math, resources, and Big Important Decisions.

One problem: human economics are based on human psychology, a subject which is in its infancy. In fact, some who look up to economics look down on psychology.

Actual economic experts are doing the equivalent to "making shit up" since we know so little about psychology. It's all very backward.
True entire world has this failure mode - we pretend that infinite growth exists and expect large successful companies to do the same or better every year, ignoring the diminishing returns and exponential R&D costs involved with almost everything.

After 100 years, a 0.5% efficiency or emissions reduction gain on the internal combustion engine costs likely as much as the first 20-50 years of exponential gains made. And so Volkswagen cheats.

Moores law is strained so we do wild branch prediction to meet the expectations and eventually roll back entire processor generations with mitigations. But executives got their bonus already at that point

The enshittification is built into our world as a result.
Not necessarily.

000x -- 64-bit instruction that uses 60 bits
001x -- reserved
010x -- reserved
011x -- reserved
100x -- two 32-bit instructions (each 30-bits)
101x -- two 16-bit instructions then one 32-bit instruction
110x -- one 32-bit instruction then two 16-bit instructions
111x -- four 16-bit instructions (each 15 bits)
xxx1 -- explicitly parallel
xxx0 -- not explicitly parallel

Alternatively, you view them as VLIW instruction sets. This has the additional potential advantage of some explicitly parallel instructions when convenient.
I agree. And the solutions to all of those are very simple but entrenched interests in economic growth seem to be in the way. We should be championing the natural decline in birthrates and start planning for a new economy based on the changes that will bring.

Honestly I partially blame advertising in general. We are all constantly reminded that we should want more, that we never have enough, and are offered solutions to problems that we didn't view as problems to begin with putting us in constant competition with one another. I think we will end up happier overall when we stop pursuing consumer growth and start pursuing human connections realizing that the things most of us want are not produced in a factory or presentaed on a screen.
Maybe psychedelics will end up being indicated as a first line of defense, before SSRIs are prescribed.
When I talk about help being given I’m talking about interventions by friends, family and mental health professionals, that could take many forms. Knowing someone has a problem is the first step to helping them.

Not just drugs, that is an unfair characterisation of my argument.
Go there and look at how they live; that takes inspiration. The benefits of their social welfare are apparent in their lifestyle compared to US daily life.

And the flip: Shouldn't Scandinavia be overrun with drug-addled do-nothings if social welfare is so bad?
Publishing the documentation seems like a lot of work. I guess everything is just manually synced between users via git?
It's not a great piece from FT.

It argues that "the root of maths chauvinism is a childlike craving for certainties, or at least probabilities, amid the flux of adult experience", which I kind of agree with. Certainty is indeed one of the appeal of mathematics.

Using Liz Truss as an example - she studied PPE at Oxford, not exactly a math heavy major - is beyond weird.

I don't understand the broader point Ganesh is trying to make.

I'm under pressure to find a job because of upcoming lay-offs in my department. There aren't many jobs out there and competition is fierce. This is the perfect job for me but I'm really put off by their way of trying to extract information.

I agree with you, I will just mention NDA and see how it goes.
Appreciate the shout-out! Congratulations on the launch :)
But this doesn't answer the question as to where firms go if they want to license a core rather than design in-house. Arm grew in large part because firms decided that designing CPUs cores wasn't a central competency and Arm would do a better job. And for a long time even a firm with the resources of Qualcomm couldn't outperform Arm.

Maybe (say) Tenstorrent will take up the mantle but just saying that 'the industry will drive it' doesn't really describe how Arm gets replaced.

> It's almost like there's been some secret doctrine implemented.

At least during Cold War, people were aware that there's a Cold War going on. Now everything is supposed to be fine and dandy, yet it feels we're constantly subjected to psy-ops even from "our side".

I don't think that the rise of conspiracy theories in recent years is a coincidence: Something is in play, some people can "sense it" but there's just not enough information to pin it down. Moreover, existing preoccupations are exploited to push these people to fringe theories and make them a laughing stock.
Nice interface, a few tweak suggestions,

nice job though!
I drifted into the back of a car on snow and ice. My car was going 10-15mph. $15K of damage repaired at an independent shop... (they did an amazing job and fought the insurance company for OEM over pattern parts). Car was worth under $20K. Maybe $17K?

If I showed you a photo of the damage you would believe me even less...

(The morning I got the car back, someone drove into the front and caused another $12K of almost identical damage. That was a great day)
If there is meaningful demand, the idea is worth quite a lot of money. Starting a business to capitalise on it is a reasonable suggestion. I know a girl who started her own underwear line, she'd be happy to do pants I'm sure.

The issue is that the meaningful demand is not there, or already filled and the market is just small. As nerdponx observed, it isn't really about pockets. There are 4 different other concerns that probably outrank pockets and that is just specific to his wife. And she might not even buy the things when she sees them. When I buy pants, I literally just buy a long pair of pants with the most and largest pockets. I dunno what the name for them is, tradesmen wear them. Cargo pants? They carry a lot of cargo. That in a nutshell is why male pants get pockets and womans pants don't.
I would love to read about stuff like this. I hope you'll post here when you eventually write it up.
Maybe it's just another apparition of that meme where Americans will use anything except the metric system: deer as tall as a bicycle, sinkhole the size of six washing machines, distance of at least an alligator...

The LaTeX plugin for Jetbrains IDEs is pretty good for that IMO. Before that I used to use TeXstudio, and I wrote my dissertation with Lervag's vim plugin. Both of which I also like, but the Jetbrains plugin hits my needs and preferences a bit better nowadays as it is something more "IDE" like.
The absurd irony of GDPR is that those who need to see these privacy warnings the least - those who block cookies and run ad blockers and privacy plugins - are faced with seeing them annoyingly and continually. On the contrary, those who accept tracking and perhaps need to continue to see the warnings the most have those messages magically disappear in perpetuity and are allowed to browse in peace. No positive impact whatsoever.
No, it did not. Every time you place the blame on GDPR you reveal how much you’ve fallen into the hands of the ones who violate your data.

It’s as if companies had been adding lead to your milk for decades, then a law passed saying you could only do that with consent, and now you’re complaining that there are all these consent forms every time you want to drink your leaded milk instead of taking it as an indicator to buy from another brand.

Blaming the GDPR is absurd. Who you should blame are the companies who pry on your data and make it purposefully annoying to reject the data collection. Which, by the way, is not following the law because it stipulates rejecting should be as easy as accepting.

If anything, the GDPR should have been more aggressive and made all extraneous data collection outright illegal with no option to opt-in. As it stands, it’s still a powerful indicator of those you cannot trust, letting you know as soon as you open their website.

It assumes that you invest your surplus fully into an S&S ISA up to the annual limit. If that isn't true, you can adjust spending.

Full disclosure though, it doesn't currently support GIAs. That would typically come after you've filled a S&S ISA which doesn't apply to most people.
More than that. In the Netherlands the prosecutors are allowed to lie under oath in court. You might then ask "Well what value has the court then?

Good question.

The thing is, this doesn't just work against suspects. This works when prosecutors lie in court in order to protect the informants that they have been using in an illegal manner to commit crimes against non-criminals.

And every single person in all of the parts of government will just roll over to allow the injustice to continue. Except for Peter Omzigt...
I liked it, it was quite a wild ride. Though I feel a bit sad, as it definitely would have had way more of a mindblowing effect if I watched it during a time period when all the tropes it introduced weren’t that commonplace and beaten to death by now.

The whole thing felt disturbing and shocking in just the right way, and i totally believe that this “vibe” is still the same today.
Well, the one that didn't got breached.
Maybe 1000 years ago, when "man" really just meant person and there was a different word for males in particular. Nowadays, to refer to people as "man" it just sounds archaic and vaguely patriarchal, but people do it anyway because sounding slightly archaic can give your words more power.
Good question. The Euro is depreciating as well, but not at the same rate as JPY because Japan has some of the lowest interest rates in the OECD as they didn't have an inflation problem unlike the Eurozone and US. Generally speaking, among major currencies, interest rates are highest in USD, then Euro, and the Yen has largely remained consistent since the 90s
From the article:

> The idea is right up there with the myth that the United States is powered almost entirely by coal and that EVs are thus worse polluters than gas engines. The reality is that coal makes up about 20 to 22 percent of the national power grid.

Coal is not the only problem. Power stations can also use some forms of oil, gas (whether they call it green or not, is still a pollutant), etc. Building the infrastructure for green energy itself has a carbon footprint that takes a while to pay off.

Secondly, in the Reuters article it assumes the comparison vehicle is brand new, and starts with a carbon offset: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/when-d...

Under the assumption you already have the Toyota, and the question is "should I scrap my Toyota to buy an electric car", and the electricity is generated from 20% coal (not including other carbon sources), the answer is simply no - keep driving your old car.

> There are lots of >10 year old Leafs and Model S's on the road. And Leaf is the worst case scenario. Without temperature management they wear out a lot quicker than every other car battery does. And remember that used batteries don't get thrown out, they generally get repurposed into stationary storage. They can be recycled but generally aren't because they're too useful as is.

I think the Nissan Leaf has survivor bias - it's one electric car that was successful, plus all the ones with failed batteries are no longer on the road, you only see the good ones still driving. What's really important though is the remaining capacity. An EV that claims 500 miles that can only do 200 miles after some years will start to become a hindrance.

As the capacity of the battery drops, I imagine the internal resistance of the battery increases and more of that energy gets converted to heat. Put simply, the EV gets less efficient as time goes on. Unfortunately we don't really have good numbers for this yet.
