> I don't see why they had to splurge all the way up to 512GB.

Quoting the article:

"To celebrate the much-hyped launch, our sister site PCMag put the flagship CPU through its paces (remotely) in several popular benchmarks."

The people who did the benchmarks didn't splurge... they had no physical access to the remote machine at all. Certainly, it would have been ideal to talk to their remote contact and see if there were any 16GB sticks sitting around to test with instead, but I agree with the other comments that the memory capacity is unlikely to make a significant difference in these benchmarks.

There will certainly be plenty of other benchmarks soon enough, once people get hands on with these processors.
I check in on this project every year or so, and I'm happy to see that their support for AS3 is creeping towards completion. I, like many, wasted so many hours in flash games while in school that it was sad to see an element of gaming history fall by the wayside. At least Ruffle can pick up some of the pieces. It does remind me that that there is still no way to play Wolfenstein RPG on iOS. I have an old iPod that I bought in 2010 almost exclusively to play it, but that battery won't last forever. But for now, I think I'll go and play some Adrenaline Challenge.

Try to find people who have actually had the surgery and get their perspective.

For any surgery, make sure to check the record of the surgeon. Is this a surgery that the surgeon has performed several times? Has the surgeon done the surgery a few times in the past 6 months?

The best surgeon for what you need is someone who has done at least 100 of the specific surgeries you need and performs them on a regular basis recently, and who is at a facility that is accustomed to the specific surgery you need.

When you select a surgeon, make sure your goals are aligned with what they are offering. Are you going for a cure, palliative, or some other thing?
Just be careful not to dent quarter panels on a rivian. It’s something like $40k to replace. Normally a $2k-$3k job on any other pick up truck.

These car companies suck when it becomes to repairability.

Edit: I’m not going to argue with naysayers below, this dude was quoted $41k but was able to PDR(https://www.thedrive.com/news/41000-rivian-fender-bender-act...). Tesla repairs with giga casting are also a lot more expensive than similar “regular” cars. This isn’t an issue of unibody design. My family owned a body shop and I painted cars for few years.

I will stick with main stream brands like Toyota.

A similar idea [^1] has cropped up in the serverless OpenTelemetry world to collate OpenTelemetry spans in a Kinesis stream before forwarding them to a third-party service for analysis, obviating the need for a separate collector, reducing forwarding latency and removing the cold-start overhead of the AWS Distribution for OpenTelemetry Lambda Layer.

You can prosecute people for criminal threats without creating technical apparatuses for shaping and controlling narratives. Prosecuting people for speech that's illegal isn't incompatible with forums that allow people to speak their minds freely and unfiltered.

For instance, the US Postal System does not run my mail through content classifiers and filters to determine whether my mail should be suppressed or passed through. If I mail a death threat, the postal system will dutifully deliver it. Despite this, the government may still prosecute me for it. The government's ability to prosecute me for mailing illegal things is not contingent on the postal system having some nanny AI that reads my mail and shadow-bans me when it disapproves. Having laws that restrict speech does not necessitate creating automatic censorship systems. And "..but with computers" doesn't change this.
Right, and you can look into all of that… after you restart the machine
Ask HN: What's Your Opinion on Opentelemetry?
I’ve been looking to instrument opentelemetry into my app, and I was wondering what your guys experiences was with it.

Would you use it for small/medium sized projects?

What was the most annoying part about setting it up?

What’s your general experience with the opentelemetry ecosystem?

I’m curious about any opinions you might have
Yeah, insurance will not pick that up if it was caused while off roading.

I’m guessing taking your Rivian off road will also void the warranty.

If you off road it’s good to know how to repair your rig.
I think that's probably true in general, but if the whole union movement at the company is fairly new I don't think it necessarily applies (or is at least severely tempered).
Well put, 99% of companies don't need to introduce such complexity for their relatively trivial use cases (though well-intentioned albeit bad engineers will try to invent it anyway).

Or you just take away the reason most men don’t want to get married (atleast without a prenup). Get rid of alimony, no child support if the father declines when the mother is pregnant before 3 months, get rid of no fault divorce, cheating by the dependent spouse means that spouse automatically forfeits their share of the money.
Kind of odd that it highlighted the need for chargers and the lengths they needed to go to (relying on hydrogen?) to complete the challenge.

I'm all for EVs showing their strengths (and own several) but tethering to a mobile charging trailer that virtually nobody has access to kind of puts a huge asterisk on the entire thing.

I'd love to see an EV-only rally that allows competitors to go faster or slower to optimize charge (faster = higher risk, more discharge) and, in that, force manufacturers and teams to actually innovate on the vehicle to make up for it. Put huge batteries and make it too heavy? It'll struggle in the mud and will likely blow tires. The function of motorsport (and ally, specifically) is to act as a proving ground for vehicles at the extreme end.
This isn't a production thing, but I am using Elm for a project for the first time right now. I mostly like it thus far, but am not a convert.

My overall takeaway is that a lot of where I thought React was going initially was stuff I see present in Elm, and that Elm had pinned down since seemingly before React got on the scene. Namely, I am thinking of the observer pattern style way of updating data.
> There's a whole other rant I have about this problem, where we really lack domain specific trust standards - i.e. communicating with a business, what I want to know is "is this a recognized legal business entity in it's jurisdiction, and what's it's status to mine?"

I have the same pain, but this seems more like a regulatory issue than a technological one. Here in Germany, (basically all) legal entities need to publish a physical adress where they are reachable, it would be easy, in theory, to extend this to a reachable domain or email adress, thereby giving a guarantee, at least in Germany, that you are interacting with the business you are expecting. As you said, DKIM already exists.

Unless I have missed your point, then rant away.

Might be time to look up Center of Gravity then. Most of the time, it doesn't make a massive difference. However, in some rare or extreme circumstances (like literally half the aircraft being empty), loading can come in to play. This affects things like where and how luggage or pax are loaded.

Not knowing why it's a rule, and being too self-righteous to look it up, doesn't make it "blatantly false".
I like to use my lots-of-cores Xeons for media conversion and 3d rendering, it's nice to see that many cores spin up for SMP workloads.
We recently adopted a dog.

The prior owners had decided to kill it. On the advice of the dog's psychiatrist. We convinced them to give the dog to us instead.

The prior owners both take prozac. The dog was on prozac. I suppose they figured what's good for them is good for the dog too.

(The dog is doing very well. No prozac)

NoSQL in general is a niche tech. Data is inherently relational. It is very hard for me to imagine a situation where basing everything on Dynamo or Mongo is the correct move, vs. only using NoSQL in specific problems that make sense. Dynamo and mongo generally smell of developers enamoured with specific tools over solving problems efficiently.
> Any other length gets Lorentz contracted, but the Planck length does not.

Are you claiming that the value of the constant l_P is the same in every reference frame or that objects of length equal to l_P will have the same length (= l_P) in every reference frame? The former is trivially true, the latter is definitely false unless you assume new physics. See also the discussion in https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/4094/is-the-plan...

> but Quantum Electrodynamics has, namely the Compton wavelength

Citation needed. (Besides, the Compton wavelength of what particle exactly?)

> So with only classical theory you simply can't derive the Planck length. So classical mechanics doesn't have a finite Planck length.

I don't need to derive anything. In classical mechanics I am free to define a constant with value equal to 1.616255(18)×10−35 m and call it the Planck length. Whether or not it has any physical significance is irrelevant. (I mean, questions of physical significance so far have never stopped proponents of the Planck length in QM, either.)

You’ve never been the one neck to choke when things go wrong have you? If Billy Bob’s cloud provider goes down, you are going to constantly be blamed for making a poor decision. If anything goes wrong they are going to question your decision.

If you choose AWS (or Azure) and a region goes down - everyone else is down too. “No one ever got fired for choosing IBM”.

Choosing the most popular vendor - AWS, Salesforce, ServiceNow, or whatever vendor is in the upper right Gartner magic square quadrant never gets questioned by the powers that be.
Probably closer to 8-14k if you’re not willing to leave the dent. The famed 42k bill was for a rear end collision that caused more damage than it looked like. Cars are much safer today but crumple zones mean minor fender benders result in huge repair bills. However, they are also a major part of the 90+% reduction in vehicle fatalities per mile over the last 100 years.

“They took the R1T to a certified Rivian body shop who said the entire rear quarter panel, as well as some tailgate internals, needed replacing. The total cost of replacing an entire body panel and some tailgate bits was reportedly just over $14,000.” https://www.thedrive.com/news/rivian-r1t-fender-bender-turns...

I'd argue you need this split - managing people is different skill set to managing a project, which is different to managing the technology, which is different to managing a product.

They do overlap, but to me there is a clear line between their responsibilities and authority. Things get blurry in smaller orgs, but in larger ones with multiple product streams, budgets and stakeholders - they're usually pretty clearly defined roles.

This is one of the reasons that I think Kant's ideas on Deontology (also Confucian philosophy around relationships) is the correct one for a functioning society. There is a framework of "Right" and "Wrong" that exists outside of "Good" and "Bad". Doing what is beneficial for society, and what is expected of society is right, regardless of the Good nature of it. If society expects you to fight in a war, and you kill someone, that is "Right" regardless of the fact that killing is "bad".

But to bring this back to the topic on hand. It is right to study and work hard at school, it is right to be disciplined and not disrupt class, it is right to work a job and do well at the job. This is separate from the fact that you are may be a good person (nice, charitable, etc). A teenager who is good, but not working hard is being wrong. A large part of this is putting wants aside to do what is right.
That's more of a software thing than hardware. You could do that in the 80's with the right software, but most modern operating systems suck at realtime stuff (and ui is realtime).
Email is also an archive of communications with vendors, shops and government departments.

+1. it's great that it compiles code faster, but i would also like when i'm writing code and hit enter, a newline is added and all lines under it goes down by 1 without any "lag".

That's why i decided to go with a 5950x + 3090 rtx + gamer ram for my current "workstation" instead of a 5995wx + rtx 6000 + ecc ram for my current machine. even tho its not workstation rated, it seemed like the better way to go for quality of life feel.

When the next generation of cpu/gpu/ram drops in the next couple eyars, i can re-evaluate the gamer vs professional offering to see if it matters.
Typical desktop OS's don't have proper prioritization and terrible schedulers. It's definitely not the hardware.

> Almost every government recognizes threats as not being protected. Libel and slander are also generally not allowed.

And the common factor in all of these is that the problem with them is not speech. It's something going beyond speech. A threat is a threat--it's not protected because it's a threat of harm, not because it expresses something someone disagrees with or thinks is "misinformation". Libel and slander aren't protected because of the effects of false information on someone's reputation and ability to make a living, not because they don't meet someone's fact-checking standards.

In other words, these are not problems with "unlimited free speech". They are problems with particular acts that, in addition to being "speech", are also something else, and it's the "something else" that is the problem.

What this declaration is against, OTOH, is limiting speech that is just speech--it doesn't fall into any of the categories described above (or other exceptions like "yelling fire in a crowded theater" that have the same issues)--but happens to express opinions or views that some people disagree with or find offensive. That kind of speech should be unlimited.
Wow, last I checked they were just getting started on AS3. Crazy to see how quickly they're getting there.

and how much money did those two or three people that automated making and publishing slot machine android apps make? It was quite a lot, iirc.

Is this being actively used outside of Microsoft? I remember reading that the film industry has groups who do effectively nothing but copy films from one storage technology to another because of the size of their archives means there is always something stored on too-old media.

I feel like this is one of those things you learn pretty early on in your life as a programmer and then just accept it without question and then start adding in superfluous variable declarations and assignments to preserve the behavior you expect in those odd scenarios where you know your compiler might decide it knows better than you.

Many PC games through the mid-1980s were shipped as booters, for ease of use and for copy protection. The growing popularity of hard drives caused the shift to key disks, code wheels/books, and other forms of copy protection. Same for many Apple II games.

Although C64 does not have disk autoboot, one can argue that the same principle exists there too, again because of copy protection; many Commodore disk games use custom disk formats that Commodore DOS cannot read. `LOAD "*",8,1` loads a boostrap that in turn reprograms the drive to load the format for the rest of the game.

That's the hardest part of "making a CPU" anyway, if you define CPU specifically as a microprocessor, because people have built working hobby CPUs with all kinds of more easily approachable tech, like relays, vacuum tubes, discrete transistors, and logic gate ICs. Basically anything that can act as one of the universal logic gates (NAND, XOR) will work as a CPU building block.
