One thing I think is sorely lacking is approachable documentation for writing python extensions to GDB.

I've managed to cobble together a collection of data structure explorers written in Python but it is barely an improvement over straight gdb scripting due to the way all structs end up as dictionaries. Some higher level libraries for inspection might be nice. Automatic integration with something like graphviz would be amazing. For instance, it would be cool to just describe my data structure(specifying 'next' pointers or how to access edge lists for a graph) and just have a library dump a visual representation for me. That said, I wonder if half of that logic is best left in a debug module inside the application or library where it remains more tightly coupled to the actual layout.
Personally, I like the calendar with twelve 30-day months and 6-day weeks, with an additional "new year" holiday 5-6 day quasi-month. You get equal quarters, sane numbering inside "working" months, and leap days stay inside holiday quasi-month.
there is a free automated checker. I think you pay if you want a certification.
>What are the new revenue channels that will pay for all that extra staff (and considering it’s USPS, their pensions)?

The federal government, unlike most other entities, does not need to match new revenue to new spending. It can and does create new money for any spending it deems worth it.

Funding basic banking for all through the USPS is worth it.
What also doesn't help is that Kant had a gigantic ego so never bothered to make his writing better with time.
They actually were better back then which is what drives people crazy. I think it’s because the older generations (us) didn’t put any value in tradition, so we weren’t able to preserve ours.
TikTok is fairly bit different as the algo can promote any random video to everyone in the world. A decade ago instagram was more of a “one-to-your-followers”. So you get these potential views from everywhere. It also promotes novelty and ever-changing trends, so it’s hard to put a finger where is positive and negative impact.

But yeah, we definitely complained about instagram a decade ago as well. Maybe we are getting old!

Things like hardware raytracing probably aren't needed and there's shading units, texture mapping, and ROPs. I'm not a hardware engineer but there's probably some way Intel can rejigger its IGT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Graphics_Technology) to have the equivalent of Nvidia's "tensor cores".

They have an NVIDIA mainline competitor in their A770 but I think they should be exiting the direct nvidia assault strategy. I really don't know how that's going to work. They're basically a nonplayer https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

What's their winning move in that approach? It's just money in a volcano.
> I even worked* for a company that would sell data to the US government, and then sell [...] the data on what data the US government was using.

That sounds odd, at best.

If the company were considering doing this sketchy-sounding thing, seems like they should've checked with their gov't customer points of contact, or gone straight to the State Dept.

Maybe they did do this, and were operating under permission/instructions, or maybe they didn't.

(Why it's believable that a US tech company would sell out its US gov't customers: many facets of "tech" industry have had such irresponsible, sociopathic practices, since before many current decision-makers entered the workforce, that I think there's no longer much intuitive sense about what's OK and what's not.)
That started only recently, around 2020ish. If you don't use the data (basic plan) and access your sms and vms via a web page using a VPN, you are ok (first hand experience, expat in EU)

> How exactly to make it a better product? What is a better product?

I meant a better product for programmers. There are lots of discussions on HN about this topic, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36530607.

In short, it would be great to be able to code locally with less limitations. Surface Go et al. are pretty good for this purpose. The iPad isn't.

I realize it is a niche market. Or maybe not? Lot's of K-12 students use iPads.
>>>It would probably be more reasonable to make some sort of tightly regulated basic bank account that banks would be required to offer in some situations.

Yeah, I'd be ok with this. Require banks to provide some MVP 'bank account' to anyone that isn't already declared banking-persona-non-grata by the courts.
For most utilitarians, refusal to do good is evil because they view actions as having a certain number of positive or negative utils based on their outcomes.

For many other ethical systems, good and evil aren’t weighed against each other. Instead evil deeds may be forbidden flat out. Good deeds are optional but commendable. Since evil is forbidden and good is optional, you cannot justify good with evil - you cannot justify the unjustifiable.

Why is deontology a better system than utilitarianism? There’s a lot of reasons, but here’s two.

First deontology solves a lot of thought puzzles much more cleanly than utilitarianism does, and avoids the weirdness such as that torturing one person is ok if it makes everyone else happy (see the short fiction story “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” for a empathetic example). Deontology has a strong philosophical basis outside of theology, especially beginning with Kant.

Second it prevents those in power from justifying evil deeds because of the good outcome. Take politics, where politicians will justify evil actions to their followers by arguing it’s necessary to prevent the other side from winning. If people accept a better theory of ethics, those types of arguments won’t take and politics will be forced to a higher standard.

You're wrong about Microsoft here. They too have loads of experience developing their SW for multiple architectures, even moreso than Apple.

Windows NT shipped on about 7 or so architectures including PowerPC for the Xbox360. And they also have experience with emulation, that's how they got Xbox 360 emulation on the newer X86 models. Just read their papers on arch emulation.

What they don't have and Apple has is 10+ experience in shipping tailor made ARM chips fit to their needs, because they always left chip design to their partners, as they were always a SW company first not a HW product company like Apple, and this isn't something they can start and catch up with in the snap of a finger.

In Israel the weekend is indeed Friday, Saturday.

The in the US the week has a free day at the start, a free day at the end, and 5 work days in the middle.

In the Jewish calendar Saturday is the only free day, Sunday is a regular work day, and is the start of the week - in Hebrew the days of the week are not named, they are simply "1st day", "2nd day", etc. (Israel added Friday as a free day because that's the Islamic holy day.)
I have seen it said that the use of "mouses" is correct for the plural of "mouse", but only when referring to the computer pointing device. I suspect that trend may have originally come from manufacturers in the East.

Let's not forget Crypto mining has a not insignificant energy footprint, and is a driver of climate change. Really, detrimental to society from the get-go.
Well first you need a problem where using a FPGA is a good fit.

FPGAs usually clock much lower than CPUs. If you want to beat a modern multicore CPU running at 5GHz with a 100MHz FPGA, you need to do a lot more per cycle to win. Your optimal problem is either highly parallel or solvable using a deep pipeline that gives you crazy throughput.

Since accessing external RAM is much more complicated on a FPGA and you don't have all the nice prefetching and caching levels of a CPU, you better make do with the limited on-board memory.

Usually this limits you to real-time stream processing like audio, video, packet filtering or I/O muxing.

But if you have an interesting problem in these spaces, FPGAs can be crazy power efficient and fun.

At my university, we used a ZynqBerry (Raspberry Pi format and only around $100) with the Vivado tools, so maybe that would be a good start for you as well.
They say in the article. They are nursing recruiting quotas (badly) and also lost a lot of recruiting personnel
Last I looked Microchip's Libero FPGA/FPGASoC development tools were paid, either on an expensive one-time fee for a specific version, or an expensive-compared-to-this-board annual subscription. It won't even show me current pricing without logging in, which is a bad sign, and none of the press has mentioned if these come with a comped board-locked license or something to make them tenable for hobbyists.

The big FPGA players have mostly quit that shit; AMD/Xilinx, Intel/Altera/Whatever dumb name its about to be spun back out as, and Lattice all have free versions of their dev tools for at least their parts small players can afford. They just want you to buy chips and IP.

I haven't heard of the Yosis folks making a PolarFire backend, so I don't think there's an open alternative.

Libero is even FlexLM based licensing like the bad old days of proprietary dev tools.
I wonder if there's a subsubsubfield of ML research that goes like "let's use halting-evaluator as an activation function for our purely theoretical neural network". or like, "NNs with oracle"...
I moved from the US to Yemen from 2006-2008. After I got the travel details figured out I realized I would need some way of getting money while I was there. Freaked out for a bit, figured that with the war on terror ongoing it would prove to be incredibly difficult.

Turns out my ATM card worked fine while I was over there. I did let the bank know I would be there and I kept my address in the US though. My card got locked at one point which was a disaster since it was strictly a cash economy. I put the card into an ATM that was apparently being serviced or something. I had to get on Skype (remember Skype?) to call my bank to straighten it out. Once they gave me the go ahead I tried the next day only to be denied again. Turned out Visa wanted to talk to me as well. Thankfully they did not cancel the card, I have no idea how I would have gotten a replacement.

Since I told the bank ahead of time that I was going to be going many places the ATM card worked all over the place: Yemen, Dubai, Qatar, Turkey, Greece, Malta… Everywhere except China lol. Had to use my credit card there.
I agree, and I don’t get why the whole conversation is framed around Berghain. The other clubs are losing customers as well, and many of them don’t have very strict bouncers. That’s a bigger problem imo.

Reading the NEC V20/V30 user manual[0] is like viewing a document from some bizarro world where stuff is almost like things in our world. The register naming is close, the instructions are all there but with different names, and there are a few more instructions (I can see PUSHA and POPA in there-- two instructions I loved on my 286).

I've got an old V20-based NEC laptop (the PC-1702, arguably an Ultrabook in its day) and I really should dig it out and try the 8080 emulation out. It doesn't look like it'd be too difficult to execute short 8080 routines. (Getting CP/M up and going looks like more work than would be reasonable for fun.)

Looking back I'm seeing it as an effective recruiting technique for college grads.
I don't agree. If the rewards of a human venture (involving some amount of capital, labor and IP, but almost certainly all 3) do not go to capitalism, then it's not a capitalist venture.

There are certainly other ways of distributing the rewards, no question about that.

So the question arises: why do the rewards go preferentially to capital in so many of the ventures that exist in our system? Your argument claims that it reflects the (relatively) low supply of capital (compared to the (relatively) plentiful supply of labor; we'll ignore IP for now).

By contrast, I claim that it doesn't reflect that primarily, but is instead deliberate economic/political/legal choice made under significant influence by capital, and that's why we call it "capitalism".

If we lived in a world, for whatever reason, the rewards of a human venture went primarily to labor, we can still recognize that there's a "system" distributing the rewards, but we would not call that "capitalism".

So I'd partially agree with your argument but then invert it: an important reason why the rewards go to capital - i.e. we live in a capitalist society - is that there's sufficiently little countervailing pressure on this arrangement. How much this comes from population numbers, lack of political will, schemeing by the rich etc. is always going to be hard to say. However, a system that didn't work the way ours does would not be capitalism.

>I don't doubt that will happen but how does that translate to sustainable, as opposed to short-term, earnings?

It doesn't. The PE playbook is to find distressed businesses with solid brand power, milk them dry until there's nothing left, and then sell off or liquidate the remnants. They function more or less as garbage collection for the economy.
I've been involved (or at least following) the rationalist and EA communities since the beginning. I call it a cult somewhat tongue in cheek, but it certainly has a lot more cult-like aspects beyond just "pretty concerned about AI risk." I mean, they have a charismatic leader whose unusual ideas about everything from AI risk to sexuality are more or less carbon copied, and practiced in group houses, etc. in some pretty creepy ways.

Literally anyone from the outside would easily be convinced they were pretty much your standard apocalyptic sex cult, just from accurately describing it.

I don't really care if people on EA forums don't all agree with SBF, but his type of thinking is standard if you use utilitarianism to make decisions in the real world, and it leads to some pretty horrific stuff. Consequentialism / utilitarianism are widely accepted in EA, and if you take that to the extreme, it can justify things like this.

That second one had better happen before 2030, because after that the US and one south american country being the only nations with net positive birth rates - and therefore populations that aren't aging out of productive work - coupled with the fact that it will take the rest of the world a couple of centuries to catch up to our military, means that the U.S. just needs to not be stupid for another 6 years or so.

So really, it probably is imminent; what with fighting 2 (and maybe up to 5 or 6) proxy wars and letting corporations continue to erode the tax law and environment to the detriment of the average taxpayer.

Doesn't it mean "Moon's day"? From a quick google it seems it derives from the greek "Selēnēs hēmera", where "Selēnēs" is the gooddess of the moon and "Hēmera" is the personification of day(all of this is straight from google[1] btw, i know nothing about ethymology, only thing that sparked my interest is that in most romance languages the word for monday has a similar root to "moon")

It all works out for me in the end because if I can't Apple Pay or Paypal someone I probably don't need their product or service anyway.
Look, isn't remotely assisted driving something unbelievably stupid?
Why should I rely, when I am on my "driverless" car, rely on someone else who is remote, need to be updated at all times about the situation (when things can go wrong in a matter of tenth of seconds, while driving), and needs to react, and it's not as much motivated as me (as I am risking my life, while he is sitting somewhere without having as much skin in the game as me)?
It makes a lot more sense, then, to have just an assisted driving car, or a semi-autonomous car where the "assistant" to the AI it's me and not someone else.
I've attempted something similar to your ast-search tool, but it instead iterates through git history, pulls out the relevant text and then provides the diff to the user.

It's a tricky problem because it sits somewhere between text, where a function name could get renamed and it's obvious because it is textually similar, and an AST where 'similarity' is a difficult concept.

I struggled to make it usable, but of course there's a module to do half of it that I didn't find initially - https://pypi.org/project/pyastsim/
Because you get exactly 5 weeks inside a month. We could use six 5-day weeks instead, but I think that having an even number of days in a week is convenient in many cases (gym routines is one such example). Also, with 6-day weeks, the quasi-month will not be longer than a week, so "holiday month's Monday/Sunday" will be unambiguous.

Oh nice, the more you know! Kvira probably refers to the same word meaning "week", but seems like there's theories it could derive from Greek mythology as well.

Lots of influence from Greek culture in Georgia for sure. For a fun fact, the Georgian for "Greece" is saberdzneti -- the land of the wise. Berdzeni itself means wise (as well as Greek), but I'm not certain if it's derived from an alternative historical name for the Greek.
