The Department of Astrophysics of CEA Paris-Saclay, 15 km south of Paris, France, is strongly investing in Computational Astrophysics, with the objective of developing new state-of-the art mutli-scales astrophysics simulations on novel hybrid CPU/GPU architectures to achieve Exascale performance and beyond.

For this purpose, we seek to hire an High-Performance Computing expert for 24 months to help us develop the Dyablo framework (an Adaptative Mesh Refinement C++ plateform
based on the Kokkos multi-architectures librairy) to achieve this goal. This position is part of a nation-wide
effort called PEPR ORIGINS (https://www.cnrs.fr/en/pepr/pepr-exploratoire-origins-vie-et...) such that the candidate will be an active member of
an ambitious research program in astrophysics.

On top of helping the existing Dyablo team members (composed of 6 members) at improving the performance and user-friendliness of the Dyablo plateform, several physical ingredient modules
should be implemented depending on the expertise of the candidate such as radiative transfer or magneto-hydrodynamics or dust and anisotropic diffusion to cite only a few.
The HPC expert will also contribute to the scientific activities allowed by the successful implementation of these new modules such as the study of the circumstellar envelopes, dynamics of protoplanetary discs and/or star-planet magnetospheric interactions…

The successful candidate should have experience in developments for HPC with either a proven work experience and an engineer/master2 diploma
or ideally a Ph.D. in Astrophysics, Physics, Applied mathematics or Computational Science in relation to the project.
By December 31st 2023, enthusiastic candidates should send to patrick.hennebelle@cea.fr <mailto:patrick.hennebelle@cea.fr> :
i) a CV including either a publication list or detailed work experience
ii) Two contact references that can acknowledge the experience of the candidate
The job advertisement will remain open until a candidate is found.

CEA is an equal opportunity employer and the successful candidate will have access to benefits and dedicated travel funds
to participate to domestic or international conferences and to collaborate with other teams involved in PEPR Origins and HPC world-wide.
That's a great shout, I'll see about getting the DLR near to London City this weekend!
Nope. Wrong. That other system is someone else's property. You don't have the right to vandalize someone else's property, ergo, breaking into another system over the network and causing damage to it is illegal.

Property laws are just as relevant to computer systems as they are to anything else.
And obviously they need to know what kind of targeted ads to show you once you decide to stop paying, so the tracking will continue irregardless of any ongoing payment.
Apologies about that. I hope it doesn't quite fall into clickbait territory

> The field of ML research is moving so fast that people don’t even take time anymore to explain the design decisions behind their architectures

Often, they don't fully understand why certain methods work, they simply experiment and observe the outcomes. This sentiment is echoed by one of the authors of the Transformer paper in another publication[1], where he states:

"We offer no explanation as to why these architectures seem to work; we attribute their success, as with all else, to divine benevolence."

The brittleness doesn't matter if the wire is supported to where the solder ends. I don't let it wick up much - I introduce the solder at the cut end, just enough to solder the joint.

I have electronic equipment in nearly continuous use for 40 years. Daily heat/cool cycling. No solder breaks in it.

It seems that this debate is an old one:

P.S. I'm pretty good with soldering, since I've done it professionally, so the disadvantages of a poorly soldered joint don't apply.
Social, memetic evolution is at least partially Lamarckian.
That's a great shout, somebody even suggested I could become a contributor to FlightRadar and get a free transponder receiver!
I guess it is about control in the end. Even if your employees are working completely remotely you could always check their output. But the problem is that typically a big part of middle managment has no idea how they would even start to do that. So the alternative is go there and talk to them while observing reactions — and derive your conclusions from that.

But that doesn't work as well remotely. You can't surprisingly be there and catch your employees at doing the wrong thing. What other unspeakable evils might they be doing while you are not watching?

Now of course you are right, just watching the numbers is not enough. But if your middle managment has no way of knowing if their subordinates are doing their jobs remotely, your business would be in a blind spot even if not a single person worked remotely.
> you can have an electromagnetic wave traversing the wire at some proportion of the speed of light, while the electrons are moving at speeds closer to meters per second.

This isn't as unintuitive as it sounds though.

In a water pipe you can have a pressure wave reach from one end to the other very quickly, even as the individual water molecules move very slowly.

If water pressure is voltage, water molecules are electrons, and the pipe is the wire, then it's easy to see how a "voltage" can reach the other end of a "wire" without any of the "electrons" having to move very far at all.
This is a nice start, but what would really help is for someone who understands the GPU programming model in-depth to give this a shot, with the goal of reducing DRAM bandwidth and fitting the layers exactly onto a GPU's memory hierarchy (cache levels, local memory and registers). Basically, sizes of a target HW platform's memories should be hyper-parameters of the architecture.
Perhaps, but at the same time, it probably wouldn't be hard to research what sorts of trains would be good targets, and then physically go check them out.
Thanks for this comment - I knew the exact visual effect I was going for but didn't actually know the physics of what is happening until now! :)
At this time, this is not for me unfortunately as I use 4 different OSes (Mac/Linux/iOS/Windows) but looking forward to checking it out again down the line.

I mean ideally you’d probably want this to be lowered to a popcnt instruction.
> First they complain about targeted ads, then they complain about offering an alternative.

Yes. I complain. Because I don't want a pay-or-be-targeted world. I'd rather then not have the services. And I have absolutely no problems with that meaning (for example) that a huge fraction of the web's "free" services and sites just disappeared. Or huge companies like Facebook either tanked or left the EU. Zero. None. I applaud this (noyb + the EU regulations) because I think it's the right way to go. That is: I think it's better to effectively outlaw entire branches of the online ecosystem, than to end up with pay-or-be-tracked.
If you search in the search box I think you’ll be able to find lots of recommendations.

Am I the only one that remembers frequent outages before the acquisition? I didn't keep track in a spreadsheet or anything so don't have any data to back it up though but always assumed it's similar to Twitter of the day, hard to make a stable service in Rails.

If anyone can actually put out the data that would be great. I suspect there was a period post acquisition of relative stability that dulls our memory of frequently broken PRs which we probably just got used to at the time.
I'm not sure it would hold up as well today. It was a fun platformer parody game though.
Hey, thank you for the bug report!

I think I know the culprit, my Shader which is applying the CRT effect shouldn't scale the scanlines with screen size, they should be constant sized - I noticed the same issue when you go to the app switcher.

Having used Ocaml for quite some time, i can understand this. However, i cant tell people (junior devs, or devs who just want to work and does not care about comp-soyery) to learn an ML (+ all the FP idioms) with a straight face.

Having a (val, err) tuple IS more easy than returning a monad.

Sometimes (most times?) pure procedural code is just the best, and i really hate languages that have feature X but does not support it fully.

As an example i would not be happy with an monadic return type if the language did not have the option to use some sort of bind/return combo, and have full pattern matching support.

Thats why i champion Go for larger teams. Almost anyone can join the team in dive in without much previous Go knowledge. This is a rare feature and i dont know many other languages that has this property.

It’s quite difficult to do and the solution is necessarily limited by the inability to modify WebKit.
Judging by Disneys upcoming roster of films and TV shows I don't think they have learnt. Even after every film they released this year flopped, they're still persuing this failed philosophy. Their last two releases this year, the Marvels and Wish are going to lose them around $400 - $500million.

It doesn't matter though, they're rapidly turning into a very attractive takeover target with their stock price so depressed. The decision will so be taken out of their hands.
Sorry about that - the free API has no SLO, so sometimes you need to check back later on to get it working!

V2 will allow you to use HTTP basic auth and your own OpenSky account
It’s WebKit-based, so it’s not really particularly lighter.
"second party developer" is kind of a loose term. Rare had close relationship with Nintendo at the time, and were allowed to produce games for some of Nintendo's IP, but they ultimately ended up being acquired by Microsoft, so they weren't so exclusive that Nintendo could prevent that outcome.
Your comparison is quite disgusting and grotesque of course, but let os ignore that for a moment and address the false idea that users are "paying with their privacy"; such opinions is probably the result of a number of logical fallacies.

There is no exchange going on, quite literally, and users get a service, basically for free. Whatever definition you make up to describe the business model does not change this fact.

In addition, so-called tracking is not the problem in itself, and especially so since users are anonymized. It is things like political misinformation and resulting manipulation that is problematic – not targeted ads themselves.

Risks continue to be profoundly exaggerated, and people, even those in the know, seem bend on propagating such misinformation. Please, let's stick to a factually based discussion.

Derailing the discussion with grotesque and perverted irrelevant comparisons of organ trading is not helpful.
Thank you :)

It was probably my easiest ever article to write, since I was simply coding each evening and adding a few cliffnotes, screenshots, and snippets as I went.

Then there's the rare ad meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/its-more-likely-than-you-thin...
The report mentioned in TFA says 1.5 to 4.5 degrees celsius from a doubling of atmospheric CO2, which was projected for 2075.

We can have the same trust in the warnings because we can read and understand.

https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPDF.cgi/70000A5V.PDF?Dockey=7000...

"Carbon cycle modelers and energy economists generally expect the concentration of C02 to increase 50 percent by 2050 and to double by 2075."

"All projections of future concentrations have been based on the assumption that current trends will continue and that governments will not regulate emissions of greenhouse gases. However, in the fall of 1987, most of the industrial nations agreed to cut emissions of the chlorofluorocarbons by 50 percent over the following decade. Moreover, the United Nations has created an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to develop strategies to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in general. Nevertheless, curtailing emissions will be difficult. There is considerable doubt regarding the global warming that would result from a doubling of carbon dioxide. There is general agreement that the average temperature would rise 1.2°C if nothing else changed. However, warmer temperatures would allow the atmosphere to retain more water vapor, which is also a greenhouse gas, increasing the warming. A retreat of ice cover would also amplify the warming, while possible changes in cloud cover could increase or decrease the warming. Two reports by the National Academy of Sciences have developed a consensus estimate that the average warming will be 1.5 to 4.5°C, and that the polar areas will warm two to three times as much."
Haha when I get on a hardware kick I'll give it a go
While I agree with you, it’s substantially different between countries. WhatsApp is pretty much unused in Sweden, while Facebook is basically a necessity.
The problem with that adage is that the easy way might or might not automatically be the sustainable, legal, safe, secure or cost-effective way.

Every time I heard that phrase it was always used as an excuse.
There are people who deal with css and typography on web full time. Those people surely remember css rules that exist. It's fine, allow them do nice websites.

Btw text-indent is not some crazy new css unused thing it's actually very old (like 20yo) essential type setting rule. It's from times where CSS was mostly occupied with text documents, floats and inline elements.

If you look at the recent CSS additions It's all stuff concerned with responsive layouts and effects - very little to do with typography. It makes sense since web became app platform more than document platform.
With search engines, I get actual value from them knowing what I like — e.g. "mouse" should give me the peripheral not the mammal, and the default YouTube home page if I'm not logged in is 99% irrelevant (sports and music, I don't care about either).

Advert tracking, and anything where they sell on this data, that's where their interests are no longer aligned with mine.
Apologies, I hope the title didn't go to far on the clickbaity side
Firefox supports process isolation. Why do you not think it’s secure?

'goto' is more universal and may make cleaner code even in loops. E.g. to loop backwards without 'goto' one has to resort to an idiom like that:

for (i = n; i--; )

and I wouldn't say this idiom is that clear. You can get used to it, of course. Another interesting case is printing a list of items with separators. C loop constructs are biased cases of frequently used loops but they do not cover all the possible cases. 'goto' is unbiased.

A similar case are Python loops. There are “Pythonic” ways:

for item in iterable
...

They look sweet but are useful only in some cases. E.g. if you need to modify `iterable`, the Pythonic way won’t work. There are Pythonic workarounds, but they may involve copying a whole iterable, which is hardly a good idea. But there is also a less Pythonic way:

i = 0; n = len(iterable)
while i < n:
...

This works all the time and serves all possible cases.

text-indent is a CSS1 property.
I had a remote manager a few years ago and kind of thought that he didn't ad much value to the process. Then they got rid of him and I had to deal with the company owners directly. Absolute nightmare.

Good management is one of these things that you don't really notice. Bad management you do notice and not for positive reasons.
I haven't seen those before, they look interesting. Thanks for the pointer!

My crimped and soldered ones work fine, though, and cost basically nothing.
Very reasonable point to be fair, and I agree with you. I certainly would not be comfortable building something for a kid to stare at that had no relation to the real world

That's not what the comment you're replying to is saying?

They're saying said person was probably using F as unit of measure, and everything else was explanatory text to explain why they thought that.
That sounds too negative. How about that:

"The prize-winning Excel service is in high demand right now. We apologize for any delay this might cause. Do you want to become an 'Excel Prime Plus User' with preferential treatment? Just upgrade your subscription now and increase your productivity!"
It comes down to "relative smartness". How smart is the state compared to the complexity of the economy?

Centrally planned economies tend to be "simplified" by placing strict restrictions on what types of trade are allowed. Can't have people behaving unpredictably!
News outlets based in Europe routinely pull this cookie wall crap. I guess they get a pass for very very principled reasons and not just because they are based in Europe whereas Facebook isn't... /s

Banging Facebook over the head might make Facebook suffer, but it isn't going to create an alternative privacy-conscious social network, or even the incentives to the existence of such an alternative. It's just going to further add cost to a bunch of properties that might have once been dominant and hegemonic, but aren't anymore (hello tiktok) and destroy value that would otherwise have accrued, primarily, to advertisers whose ads now will be much more crappily targeted.

> will it be rent control with new rent price baseline?

It would be a new baseline, but at a rent that would be calculated to be affordable to the tenant’s income: “The developer agrees to provide … right of first refusal … at an affordable rent” https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm.... For low-income tenants, this would most likely be even lower than the rent controlled rent. For very-low income tenants who do not qualify for any other program (other programs such as Inclusionary Housing typically have narrow income bands as a % of AMI), they would have a home almost for free. For higher-income renters, they could see a rent increase.

SB 330 requires “Relocation benefits” according to §7260, but I think San Francisco’s local relocation payments are already higher (currently $7,540/tenant, up to $22,618/unit, plus $5,027 per elderly/disabled tenant https://sf.gov/sites/default/files/2023-02/579%20Multilingua...)
Over here doctors are required to write the prescription for generic (off-brand) versions of medication if available. This was introduced to counter promotions to the medical professionals by pharmaceutical companies.

The generics have the exact same active compounds and are regulated exactly the same.

I do not think Amazon or any other non-Pharmacy can legally fill prescriptions for medicines here, brand or generic.
I agree with the gist of your reply, but I object to this part:

> It's somewhat socially acceptable to not have a Facebook account. Its less acceptable to not have an Instagram and I don't think you can function in west-european society without WhatsApp at the moment; basically everyone expects you to have it.

I can assure you that it is perfectly viable to live a normal life in a west-european society without using any Meta product. It gets a bit more difficult if you have kids at school, though, with teachers and parents not being flexible.
Indeed it could be a target, but newer and newer co-processor for pure MatMul or even NPU are created and cache/register are changing fast from one architecture to another so it still wouldnt be optimal for most users.
