I used to often flip to the end of the book when I was in the middle of reading it, just to get the answer to some question that I knew wouldn't be resolved for a while. I wouldn't do that with mystery novels, but otherwise yeah spoilers have never bothered me.

But I'm someone who has re-read favorite novels dozens of times, which I suppose is about appreciating great writing.

This depends enormously on the instrument. Consider someone playing a piece live on a keyboard: we can keep a MIDI recording of that and we've captured everything about their performance that the audience hears.

> Though calling GPUs SIMD nowadays is kind of reductive, since you also have to contain with a very constrained memory hierarchy, and you don't write or think your code as SIMD much but more. Also they don't give access to most bit-tricks,

Oh rly?

* Popcnt is defined in ROCm and CUDA.

* Shifts, XORs, AND, OR, NOT are all defined in GPUs.

* You can actually do AES and a lot of other bit-level twiddling in GPU space very efficiently. (aka: see any mining software for highly-efficient bit-twiddling).

Yeah, not as many tricks (ex: pext / pdep) as a CPU. But popcnt is the "big" one. GPUs also have bit-reverse instructions (which reduces the need for LS1B instructions like CPUs because you can do LS1B tricks on "both ends" by just bit-reversing).

But honestly, GPUs are so parallel and Register-space is so plentiful that you can probably just build whatever you want out of AND/OR/NOT/XOR instructions alone.

And since GPUs have single-cycle "popcnt", any symmetric bit-twiddling function can be built off of popcnt within a few cycles.

> and the rigmarole of shuffles one would expect from a SIMD processor.

Abuse of __shared__ memory and the full crossbar of a GPU-core means that you can arbitrarily shuffle data through __shared__ memory in like 5 clock ticks (well... in certain ways... if you do it wrong it'd take many clock ticks).

GPUs are actually far superior to AVX512 in this front. NVidia's shfl.bfly instruction can implement FFTs, even-odd sorting, bitonic sorts, and more as high-speed communications.

AMD has similar instructions: https://gpuopen.com/learn/amd-gcn-assembly-cross-lane-operat...

Trust me on this case: GPU data-movement is far, far, far superior to CPU data-movement.

Intel does NOT have the bpermute or permute instructions like a GPU does. Meanwhile, both AMD and NVidia GPUs have bpermute / permute for both gather-and-scatter-like operation / distribution of data across lanes.

AMD/NVidia also have guarantees upon the speed of broadcasts across __shared__ memory. And butterfly-shuffles can theoretically implement any arbitrary shuffle you want in log2(SIMD-Width) steps, so we have incredible amounts of tools in GPU space that CPU-programmers have no idea about.
1GB/s is the same speed from EFS or S3.

I agree that it feels trite and fake.

The way to get things done with difficult people is:

1. Work out (for yourself) what you really want*

2. Work out (for yourself) what they really want*

3. Accept that they want that

4. Work maturely and fairly within that context.

No cookie cutter management fluff is going to get you anywhere useful with intelligent people.

* Usually people want their situation to either be more rewarding (read: recognition or control) or less taxing.

Of course they would: the problem is that there is a lack of feedback when incompatible input is entered.

Audio feedback was added since AF 447 but as well known sound is one of the first thing to be blanked out in high stress situations. Physical feedback provides a second stimulus, and one which does not get ignored as much.

The planes are FBW, the side sticks have no mechanical linkage outside their control box, there is no cause for a pilot to input significant force on the stick, and thus most every feedback would be sensible. Unlike a 737, the pilots are not physically moving the control surfaces.
In certain circumstances, I could see that.

Then again, if you have access to a model trained on sensitive data, why not ask the model directly, instead of probing it for training data? If sensitive data never is meant to be reasoned on and outputted, why did you train on sensitive data in the first place?

Normally it doesn't do that but they were using an "attack prompt". They ask the model to repeat a single word forever, it eventually deviates and generates normal text which has a higher rate of regurgitation than usual.
Targeting businesses…which are more often owned by richer people than poorer people. I know lots of business owners that made out very well from PPP (myself included).

I've written two music apps that use MusicXML as their native representation (https://woodshed.in is the newer one), so I've been involved in this world as well.

MusicXML is a great effort to tackle a very difficult problem, but some of the details can get rather hairy (e.g. having to represent many concepts twice, once for the visual aspect, and once for the performance aspect; or how exactly to express incomplete slurs). Interoperability in practice seems to be fairly limited (Possibly because for many music programs, MusicXML import/export is an afterthought).

One of the biggest contributions a new standard could make is to provide as complete a test suite as possible of various musical concepts (and their corner cases!) and their canonical representation. It looks like MNX has already made good efforts in this direction.
I'm vouching this because it impacts where populations of educated talent end up in the US, which factors in pretty heavily to where tech hubs end up, which will also end up influencing how various factions end up posturing towards both big tech and tech in general.

> they then ask "well if not the rich, then who?" indicating that they think rich folks were the most likely to get in. If not them, then who?

> Jesus then says "no mortal person,"

Except this isn't what Jesus says. He says "With man 'it' is impossible." Jesus' response doesn't even make grammatical sense as a reply to "who can be saved?" because it isn't a reply to that. The question "Who can be saved?" was posed among the listeners to themselves, not to Christ:

> And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

Jesus' statement "with man it is impossible" is a continuation of the thought that it is difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven (so hard that it requires a miracle above what's required for a normal person). It's impossible with men that a camel should pass through the eye of a needle, but with God, it's possible (and thus possible for a rich man to be saved, though not easy).

It's not that there's anything good about poor people that gets them in; it's that rich people don't want in.

Any interpretation that makes it as easy for rich people to enter as it is for poor people is missing the clear meaning of the words.
To be fair, if you have only driven a Tesla, you potentially have no idea how bad, and yes, cumbersome, charging can be. My ex has 8 apps on her phone, to allow charging in some (not even all) of the many separate networks accessible in Germany. Some apps are atrocious, some demand network connectivity in an underground garage, some return unexplainable errors which even the provider can't help you with, and which persist even after a phone wipe. Happened with Lidl, the solution was to switch the iPhone's language from British English to US English. Probably their website barfed on the Accept-Language: en-gb header.

Fortunately legislation is coming to force all of them to take credit/debit cards, and standards like Autocharge will also help.
I'm not quite sure I get the strategy.

For people who need Windows for some business requirement, this lets them use less Windows, and have a Mac or Chromebook as their hardware. The result: less Windows.

For people who don't currently use Windows, does a slower, internet-only Windows present a compelling product? Windows doesn't really sell itself (other than as a gaming platform, but we have Nvidia's streaming platform for that), it's a default but if you've not got a business need most people either already have Windows (because the PC was cheap or they play games) or they aren't going to go looking for Windows.

As Windows becomes more and more of a platform for ongoing revenue (read: ads, subscriptions), it's likely to become less attractive for that second group, and that first group will spend less time with it (and see fewer ads).

I get that on-demand cloud machines make sense for many businesses, but I'm not sure that aligns well with my (very naive) understanding of Microsoft's priorities here.
Very important advice, especially for C64 (and same era devices).
Bots seem to be more prevalent everywhere. For example, I’d say roughly 3/4ths of the followers on my twitter are obvious bot accounts with names like battery48462628 and that have either no comments at all or random Chinese foods and city pictures with captions like “flowers are the spice of life”.
I am knowledgeable about both. Unix guy at heart but used to work for MSFT on windows.

The Windows version of mprotect(2) is VirtualProtect. It would probably make more sense to allocate the buffer with VirtualAlloc with the correct flags, rather than modify a stack buffer. The Unix version of that would be to allocate with mmap(2).

When AI gets involved it suddenly starts making sense because your laptop's GPU a little baby toy compared to an entire data center running the latest & greatest GPU/AI accelerators.

It might be that every day (e.g. regular people) AI use cases don't scale much beyond 64GB of VRAM though in which case it's only a matter of time before laptops have such capabilities.

I think this is what I imagined when I first heard of “Windows Live”. It never lived up to the name.
This is software that I rely on for my day-to-day tasks. I've had upgrades break things SO MANY times, that I never do an upgrade of "production" without specifically setting aside at least 30 to 60 minutes of time to deal with any potential fallout.

If we were talking about a video game, or some kind of testing/QA environment, then sure, automatic unattended upgrades would be fine.
Which is EXTREMELY weird given that the "red state" people often claims to be Christians. It's literally the core tenant in their religious texts that they should care about others regardless of circumstances, yet... NOPE.

That isn't true. Dynamic friction for a tire is always less than static friction, as soon as the tires are sliding your stopping distance is going to get longer. A good driver used to be able to threshold brake better than a basic ABS setup, but that hasn't been true now for years. Modern ABS computers are quite advanced.

He was also at DARPA. There a presentation deck floating around from maybe 10 years ago--maybe HotChips--that, among other things, comes across to me as a rather pessimistic take on the petering out of CMOS process shrinks aka Moore's Law. His take was basically that, sure there are a bunch of other things you can do, but CMOS process shrinks have really been a unique thing in terms of achieving performance increases in the computer industry against which all else pales.

I think it may change the discussion about copyright a bit. I've seen many arguments that while GPTs are trained on copyrighted material, they don't parrot it back verbatim and their output is highly transformative.

The retraining would barely be a concern. It would be a new input similar (but not identical) to the stick shaker, or a new audio alert (as was literally introduced for the dual-input issue after AF447).

The hack is the entirety of the cost, it would require completely redesigning the side-stick, updating their entire maintenance procedure (currently side-stick can trivially be unscrewed and swapped out), as well as redesigning the cabin cell to provide routing for the cables such that they keep tension and don't get damaged.

Stick manufacturers have been working on active sticks for more than two decades, and they're getting released right now. While force feedback on PC joysticks was introduced in 1997.
