well, they didn't. No single word in manual about that. Also the locks are illegal vs. EU wide regulation about train maintenance.
I wonder how complicated it would be to make happen / how likely it is to happen, for the Apple way of sharing memory between CPU and GPU to become a thing on PCs. Could NVIDIA do it unilaterally or would it need to be in partnership with other companies?

Could anyone who understands this hardware better than me chime in on the complexities of bringing unified ram/vram to PC, or reasons it hasn't happened yet?
You don’t think there was any consultation between JFK and NASA before he gave that speech?

A simple search for more information provides this. Kennedy asked Johnson to consult with NASA.

Johnson consulted with officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Its new administrator, James E. Webb, told him that there was no chance of beating the Russians to launching a space station, and he was not certain that NASA could orbit a man around the Moon first, so the best option would be to attempt to land a man on the Moon. This would also be the most expensive option; Webb believed it would require $22 billion (equivalent to $166 billion in 2022) to achieve it by 1970. Johnson also consulted with Wernher von Braun; military leaders, including Lieutenant General Bernard Schriever; and three business executives: Frank Stanton from CBS, Donald C. Cook from American Electric Power, and George R. Brown from Brown & Root.

JFK was stating an experts opinion in a speech not spitballing random estimates that were changing yearly in order to make him and the US seem awesome.

Yeah, I've only seen microservices used in a couple of places, but in both cases I felt they were introduced far too early. The first time I saw them was for a 2 page note-taking web app, and it had something like 65 microservices.

Reminds me of "Whites" on BBC

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whites_(TV_series)
It's actually kind of boring in this case, per Wikipedia: "In law, uttering is synonymous with publication, and the distinction made between the common law offences was that forgery was the fabrication of a forged instrument (with the intent to defraud) and uttering was the publication of that instrument (with the intent to defraud)."
It does this poorly. They compared the currently most optimized whisper implementation for M1 against an implementation that is far from the best currently available for the Nvidia GPU. They cannot make a claim of reaching 70% speed at 25% power usage.

Edit: The article has been updated to compare against a faster implementation for the Nvidia GPU and no longer makes that claim.
Messages on facebook (don't know if that's different or just predates it) also used to be email compatible. Pretty sure they killed that since I last used facebook.
I'm continually surprised by the political influence held by the thousands of tiny banks in the country. I must applaud the people behind the Check 21 Act: it's the combination of a neat backwards compatibility trick (if you want paper, we'll print it and send it to you) and political maneuvering that I must admire it.

> Since the standard U.S. bank account is a checking account, even if it cannot write checks, it is necessarily a credit product.

Why is this the case? Checking accounts without the ability to overdraft and thus create credit risk exist; I've always wondered why they're not more widespread. Is it a problem that people who are Chex blacklisted are unprofitable anyways?
A. Storage isn't memory

B. That's hardly anything in 2023.
Yeah, no. You're missing the point of this thread here.

> Just look for groups of people getting notifications at the same time.

In a sufficiently built system - like what Signal does, and like what most apps should be learning from - all the notification payload is getting is a "check for updates" command. You and literally everyone else are getting that generic notification all the time if you're in more than one chat. Just because Alice sent a message at 12:01PM and Bob received the generic "check me" notification at 12:02PM doesn't mean Bob necessarily received Alice's message specifically, because the notification has absolutely no concept of the messages period. Bob could have gotten that notification due to any of the other chats he's in.

At best the argument here is that the government could use the push notification token to link a Signal account to a real username via Apple, but if you're that paranoid you shouldn't use an iOS device anyway. You also likely wouldn't use Signal due to the phone number issue.
> Lack of proven renewable hydrogen is an argument that would also rule out nuclear.

I don't think so. We just built a new plant in Georgia. Minnesota's power grid is already 1/4 nuclear. We've done it before, we can do it again. It would be nice to get costs down, but it's not a requirement. The only thing stopping us is political will and US's general inability to accomplish big things. Hydrogen storage isn't here today (but I hope it will be soon!), nuclear is.

Some of these self hosted projects need five containers: frontend, backend, database, redis, and elasticsearch. Way too many if you ask me.

My preferred self hosted projects only need one container and has a embedded sqlite database. With the option to configure a external database.
I'm not saying that native controls are better because they are native. Or electron is suffering from some defects that impair usability. With equal time and effort, a software built with native controls will be more usable. A random user will not be able to distinguish which is which, but I dare say that the native ones would felt better if the only difference is what is used to build the interface.

When designing native controls and using common patterns of the OS, you lessen considerably the amount of efforts required to learn that application for the user of the platform. Most non-technical users only use one platform. Creating the same interface for two or more platforms is impairing users on that platform. And I include the web as a platform.
I've developed two tests for AI image generators to see if they've actually advanced to "the next level". Take literally any AI image generator and give it one of these prompts:

"A flying squirrel gliding between trees": It won't be able to do it. Just telling it "flying squirrel" will often generate squirrels with bat wings coming off their backs.

Ahh, but that's just a tiny, specific thing missing from the data set! Surely that'll get fixed eventually as they add more training data...

"A fox girl hugging a bunny girl hugging a cat girl": The only way to make this work is with fancy stuff like Segment Anything (SAM) working with Stable Diffusion. Alternative prompts of the same thing:

"A fox girl and a bunny girl and a cat girl all hugging each other"

It's such a simple thing; generative AI can make three people hugging each other no problem. However, trying to get it to generate three different types of people in the same scene is really, really hard and largely dependent on luck.
>Microsoft has also made an audacious deal to purchase electricity from a company called Helion that’s developing an even more futuristic fusion power plant.

If we're going to 'solve' global warming, we really need fusion ASAP. It truly is a silver bullet for this problem and will also be the key to colonizing Mars.
There are plenty of ICs who coast there, but what's far worse are the groups of ICs who are all pushing hard in different directions because their leadership isn't taking charge. IDK if middle management bloat exactly is the problem either, but there's some kind of ineffectiveness, maybe even at the top.

One low-level issue is how long everything has to take because of tooling. Engineers have way too much patience for overcomplicated garbage and tend to obsess over pointless details. Kind of in the opposite direction of coasting, but still a real problem.
Personally i've found engineering / designer types, including myself, often a bit on various adhd/autism like spectrums with tendencies to overwork, hyperfocus and in general "attach themselves very much to some domain", not that this is always a good thing.

I've met many from the managerial class without these traits that seem to have no problem coasting and trancending actual meticulous work because their game is all about personal career management, not the hyperfocus a lot of us here engage in daily.
jcranmer got it right. Read that reply (and mine). And then maybe rewatch watch Chandler Carruth says.

The current practice allows for CPUs to transparently increase their physical register count (to gain performance) and still run old code -- and older CPUs can still run new code. That's usually quite practical...

Adding more register names takes more bits for the register numbers -- which leads to larger instructions. It also leads to more complicated encodings if we want backwards compatibility. AMD64 does that by adding an optional prefix byte that carries a payload of 4 more instruction bits. That's one bit each for the three possible register names encoded in a traditional IA32 instruction + a bit to indicate whether to operate on 32-bit or 64-bit data (the actual rules are a bit more complex). Intel published a whitepaper recently suggesting a future encoding with a different (optional) prefix that encodes 8 more bits -- so each of the three register names can be extended to 5 bits (32 register names). It all ends up being quite complicated + new code won't run on older CPUs, which is not great.

I think you are suggesting not just bigger register names but also doing away with register renaming -- that would be... less than entirely useful because you would lose almost all your out-of-order capability and thereby almost all your ability to hide cache misses. Cache misses are very, very hard to predict statically (before actually running the code on a real CPU with real data) so good luck trying to do magic ahead-of-time allocation of those registers...
They can be different in that server rendered ones are materialized solely on the server, without any context to the browser environment and unable to have any interactivity. It's just HTML when it's SSR'd. However, when "hydrated" or when that component is rendered on the client (browser), it can ship with more interactivity and/or manipulation by its JS.
Depends, I look at it from a performance standpoint when starting to count lines/instructions, not just directly executed code but also how feasible it would be to translate the thing to a JIT for example, the amount is large enough that going to a JIT would yield little (this is why there has been so many Python JIT's that has failed to gain enough performance and hence traction) before mayor architectural fixes are made.

Not only is there branches to a ton of special things but also macros that hides even more lines (IncRef/DecRef probably has a lot of magic behind there).
So if the landlord sees someone that the lessee identifies as a guest during a visit not related to that certification, are they (the landlord) somehow on the hook for investigating the residency status of that guest? Or can they just fix the sink and go on home?

This was caused by an alarming rise of silicosis cases in young “tradies” (Aussie slang for trade workers).

The government and various professional bodies tried to enforce the use of PPE when working with this material, but there has been a housing construction boom going on and a lot of corners were cut (hah!), resulting in young immigrant workers especially turning up in hospitals with lung cancer.

No matter how carefully you cut this stuff in a shop with a filtered HVAC, water sprays, and well-fitted respirators… there’s always that customer that just needs “one quick adjustment” on-site. One quick cut turns into one per day and a weird chest pain that just won’t go away.

So it’s been banned outright.

PS: Apparently engineered stone is mostly quartz (silica), whereas other bench top materials are typically other kinds of stone that don’t cause silicosis, or nowhere near at the same rate.
I haven't been to Tokyo, however, could it depend on the local focus of the ads?

I.e. I'd consider visual advertising that draws attention to stuff that is right there (e.g. suggesting to visit the store, bar or show behind the door that's below the advert) as completely different as the same size ad for something that's not relevant to physically being then and there (e.g. a car or insurance).
But "natural flavors" are the entirety of what Coca-Cola uses for flavoring, including real vanilla and cinnamon and all the rest. Whether it uses actual kola nut or not, there's no way of knowing.

Things like fruit concentrates can't be listed as natural flavors, because they're still the actual full fruit.
The current bottleneck for most current hardware is RAM capacity than memory bandwidth and last is FLOPS/TOPS.

The coral has 8 MB of SRAM which uh, won't fit the 2GB+ that nearly any decent LLM require even after being quantized.

LLMs are mostly memory and memory bandwidth limited right now.

How to tell us you know absolutely nothing about the costs of running fiber, without actually saying you know absolutely nothing about the costs of running fiber
When I was living in Seattle I found the service to be shockingly bad. I "upgraded" to 5G and my service got substantially worse. I'd often have "full signal 5G" and barely be able to watch videos in Capitol Hill. I worked in SoDo and I found multiple dead zones between the train station and my work (just a few blocks).

For a while I was tweeting at them regularly with screenshots, but got bored of the "DM us so we can resolve this right away" bots and realized I was screaming into the void. I ultimately wound up switching to Verizon.

Interestingly, T-Mobile service was far better in the 3 other major cities I lived in, but it's still pretty embarrassing that their service is so bad right in their own backyard.

> “Clearing” is a magic finance word. Clearing a check refers to completing the process which the check agrees to: the writer sees money leave their account and the person depositing the check sees it enter theirs. This is much more complicated than it sounds in this quick gloss.

Just because the writer of the check sees the funds of their check leave their account, this does not mean the recipient of the check has collected those funds. At any given moment, there is a considerable amount of money belonging either to check writers or recipients, not under their control yet being invested in overnight investments and repurchase agreements for the profit of the bank(s) involved. This becomes quite exaggerated when you think of the time zones involved and the fact that the resolution of the clearing houses is greater than or equal to 24 hours. So a check from an account in Puerto Rico to an account in Hawaii will take a minimum of 24 + 6 hours = 30 hours for the bank(s) to get a return on their customer funds. As the article points out, the "clearing" of funds to the recipient's account is an act of credit and not an act of money transfer.

> Jesus, is it common for developers to have such expensive computers these days?

Computers are really cheap now.

A PDP-8, the first really successful minicomputer (read very cheap minicomputer), was around 18,500 USD, in 1965's USD, or 170,000 USD in 2023's USD.

For a historic comparison, the price of a introductory minimal system for an actual "mainframe class computer" of the same vintage, a IBM System/360 Model 30, was 133,000 USD in 1965's USD, or around 1,225,000 USD in 2023's USD.

Those 8300 USD cited are very cheap.

A person in the bleeding edge of the private AI sector is expected to handle several Nvidia H100 80GB, each with a individual cost around 40,000 USD per unit.

Those 8300 USD cited are peanuts in comparison.

The compelling thing for me still with checks is that the banks take on nearly all the costs of processing them, and what costs are imposed on the customer are fixed, and do not scale with the amount of money being transferred. It's possible to do fixed-cost transfers using other systems (PayPal, Venmo, etc.) but it always feels like those transfers are only tolerated, and they really want to push you to their other offerings where they can get their vig.
If only counting simple lines of code, malloc is often large enough of a beast that the code executed beyond that simple line often dwarfs the rest.

This twister happened the other day, probably about 20 miles from me. I was aware of the warning and watching the radar; but aside from that I would've had no clue it happened.

We saw the house lights flicker a little bit; there were some clouds to the northwest that looked dark, but not especially menacing, and that was it. Some of the people in the path of that tornado had exactly the same experience, until it was moments away.

Look, if all you're after here is an "I hate Apple" pity party, you can do better: iMessage is default backed up to iCloud - without encryption - and offers an even easier workaround for the government. I would have to imagine they get more from that than notification payloads.

It's pretty simple: don't use iMessage if you value secure communication, since we know Apple gets hamstrung by the government at points. Devs building for the platform should be taken to task here because they need to be aware of and optimize around the data leaking issue, relying on the parent platform to always be a good steward is a recipe for disaster.
