I really like that you can prototype on your own consumer level card - the rocm stack has not matched that historically and has over promised and underdelivered for years now.
Oi! is how I find my friends in crowded places. We've all lived with Australians, who taught us. One quick "oi" will really quick cut through the commotion of a crowd and cause our gazes to practically crash zoom into each other.
Highly recommend making a simple script to do this, I distribute two apps manually and all I have to do is to kick off "./distribute.sh 1.2.3" which does every step required.
An Alaska mechanic stole a small jet and intentionally crashed it and killed himself.
Not to directly speak on the feasibility of that plan, but the plane Internet will get a lot better if you kick off everyone else and otherwise put it into emergency mode.
I think for the time being $9.99 would be the price per each, the price could be lowered down in the future.

Also, that's the sum price of the series from Amazon. No pricing settings for the series in the UI though.

There's also physically printed books in hardcover and paperback.

I'm pretty sure this is also used in some Italian dialects both in the "vocative" ("ohi bimbi!" In Tuscany) and in the "expression of pain" (as an alternative to the more common "ahi").

The Italian spelling would contain an "h" but it is not pronounced anyways.

Alas, this is really hard to Google :)
FBI is currently involved in the government effort trying to jail him for hundreds of years.
Trump's lawyers can't even get an answer as to which government agencies are involved in his prosecution, so you know, so that they could subpoena to get evidence in his defence.
It's not looking like these agencies will let Trump be president again, one way or another.
Trump threatened to pull out of Nato, and pissed off a lot of people. This week legislators passed a law banning a president from being able to do that.
i have to admit to some slight exaggeration
I wasn't talking about addicts. Spiking is a thing. Being a victim of spiking puts one in an extremely vulnerable state, and filming someone in that state is abject, whether or not you are aware they've been spiked.

Nobody pretends that addicts are being forced to take drugs. However addiction is generally seen a a compulsion to consume. The key term here, compulsion, indicates an absence of choice (Merriam Webster [0] defines it as an "an irresistible persistent impulse to perform an act." If you can't resist, you're not deciding).

Yeah, like concepts and modules.
I don't disagree with frame gen, but I think DLSS, FSR (and XeSS) are going to replace traditional anti-aliasing. Especially with older techniques like MSAA not being compatible with newer deferred rendering methods. Even at native resolutions, you still want anti-aliasing. These are simply the current bests at that.

Alan Wake 2 will use FSR or DLSS for AA even at native resolutions, with no other AA option. I expect more games will do this in the future.
This is all true. You also can ask for ice with your coke. This will endear you with the wait staff as they can not resist snickering and muttering “American ..”

Nuclear technology is a superset of nuclear weapon technology. I am not saying all neuroscience is bad, just this specific topic.
Leaving any mark on or near the surface limits stealth, right? Better to eliminate that need of possible.
"We're in if you have a lead" is basically the starting point before you ever talk to a VC. Some other VC being willing to invest $5m is itself often considered a strong enough signal to invest some significantly smaller number than that while knowing literally nothing about the company being invested in. Even VCs which explicitly told you no may reconsider if you find a lead.
> Is there any evidence that French has some unique qualities that render it unusually difficult to understand when not spoken by a someone fluent in the language?

Usually it’s just English exceptionalism and the centuries-old rivalry between both countries. Don’t expect much objectivity from either side. From Americans, it’s usually ignorance of a foreign language. Spanish-speaking Americans don’t tend to say this sort of thing.

> I’m reasonably competent in French and if there is such a feature, I don’t see it.

There is none.
That's not correct. The ADA requires reasonable accommodation, not accommodation at all costs. So yes, "there simply isn't a wheelchair ramp up to our building" is not legitimate, but "there simply isn't a wheelchair ramp up to our building and it would be prohibitively expensive or impossible to change that" does work.
It’s not even just the enterprise world. It’s in the PCI spec. It’s just that no one uses it.

There is a formal definition for retainer brackets. No one manufactures cases that allows them to be used though. And no card manufacturers integrate them.

There was a good article about there at [probably] TorrentFreaks.
At the same time, there are legit cases where foreign nationals/states were interfering into those events (eg BLM movement was amplified by Russia) in the hopes to destabilize US. Unless there’s enough metadata to identify specific foreign actors, how can FBI fight that? And I am sure there are spies/agents who became naturalized US citizens - how to detect those??…
Surprised the article didn’t mention what for me (as a horror fan) was the most famous example of the public domain immediately benefiting the culture. Due to repeated edits requested by a demanding distributor, the final cut of Night of the Living Dead was released without a copyright notice. In 1968, unfortunately, this meant the work automatically went into the public domain. The film’s subsequent unexpected success led to zombies becoming a pop-culture phenomenon, but perhaps at George Romero’s expense.
Understandable, but this is precisely why teenage antics should not leave permanent records for anyone to exploit.
Very interesting view points
HP-UX Vault were introduced in 1998, it was the other UNIXes that catched up to them, including BSD.

Sadly the way things went, it isn't that much relevant nowadays.
There's plenty of scope for customization, but generally not in changing the shape of the cockpit.

Airliners are good at fitting 99%+ of the population well. But, in the end, airliner cockpits have switches and indicators up "high" and stuff down low that has to be easily within reach, but also not crowd your movement. There's a lot of adjustability, but adjustability (seat rails, etc) has been causes of accidents.

If you're within 5'2 to 6'3, odds are you can easily clamber in, fit, reach all the controls. That's all that's required. Even if you're outside of that range it might be OK (there is a 4'11 787 captain out there...)

As to glasses, there's no problem with having poor vision if it can be corrected with lenses. Aviation is not perfectly inclusive or accommodating of every disability, but it's not needlessly restrictive, either.

The grandparent said "VC's never actually say no". I did the opposite of reinforce that. Every good VC will give you a version of the following if it's a "no":

1. It's a "no". (Clear, unambiguous.)

2. Here's why. (E.g. not believing in the space, issues with customer background or another part of due diligence.)

3. We make mistakes all the time and hope you prove us wrong. (I've pitched the partner at Sequoia who invested in FTX. His name's Alfred, super nice guy and fully aware that screwing up is part of his job. "No" isn't a value judgment.)

4. Happy to talk again for the next round. (If they're a multistage fund, e.g. you won't hear this from First Round.)

It's all very predictable. The one real "why" you won't typically hear back on is strength of the founding team. They won't tell you when they think you're the problem. But product, space, GTM, basically anything else they're happy to dissect.

This is true for all of the firms that people have heard of. Of course there's a long tail of bad VCs, too, generally podunk firms few people ever encounter anyway. Avoid TechOperators out of Atlanta, for example.
> What if we're in a procedural simulation?

We ARE in a procedural simulation, with a random seed determined at The Big Bang.

Whether someone monitors the simulation or not is a different question.
This has been a known problem for a long time.

In fact, psychological test development studies use pilot screening to assess for the ability of a test to detect people who are trying to make themselves look good for exactly this reason.

It's a mess and counterproductive.
Alloc(null, 0) can be implementation defined. It could be a noop in release builds and a panic in debug builds. Just how certain allocators do extra work in debug builds to detect leaks anyway.

Keep in mind this is an allocator interface. Behavior is supposed to change and the allocator maker has control over that. Likewise free() doesn't always actually release memory (arena allocators for example), and that's the whole point.
So business should never be able to restrict who uses them?
I thought it was the electrons knocking on sharp-cornered traces causing it to rattle.
Yes! This is the discussion starter we've been waiting for.

Then you're admitting that there's something non-physical that defines the identity of the physical thing, is it possible to argue against that?

Or is identity itself meaningless? But it cannot be because without identity there can be no understanding of the universe. Thus, the non-physical is a requirement of the physical. One cannot exist without the other. But where, in what non-physical plane (is there a word for that? ideamension?), does the non-physical inhabit?

Or is "understanding" also only existent in the ideamension, not a requirement of the existence of the physical universe? But if not for understanding, why does the universe exist in the first place? Reason; yet another resident of the ideamension.
They can also false positive your account, which I’ve personally seen. It’s incredible because the software doesn’t tell you what’s going on. The backend just rejects you.

The final line will come down to whether or not we can do math of our own choice on machines of our disposition.
If the lifetime of the allocation works out this can end up with a nice pattern of "try to use a cheap stack buffer, and fall back to a more expensive heap allocation when that fails"
As an almost life long New Yorker it pains me, truly, to read this. People used to fear this city and that kept the “average tourist” (which includes super lovely people like my parents btw) well away from the Big Apple. Oh how I miss those days. Now any average tourist feels perfectly safe in our city and no longer fears us locals. This is not good. It’s almost like being colonized, like what happened to those poor poor Barceloni. One day they had a beautiful city (though it did smell like dog shit everywhere) and before you know it they lost it to the tourists. I fear this has already happened to Manhattan, though over here in Brooklyn we do our bit to instill the necessary respect for locals and their customs for the tourists. (Yes they come over here and look at graffiti on the wall to the great amusement of us locals.)
Well said.

> There was an invasion of England in 1066 by William the Bastard, Duke of Normandy, which ended up with King William I of England. Subsequent monarchs of England/bits of France were no longer Normans per se. At least one variety of a French language at the time was introduced, wholesale, and became the court language of England.

There was more than that. For a while, England was a backwater of the Angevin empire and kings of England were native French speakers for quite a long time.
Buffett has stock/owns BYD, fossil fuel companies (Occidental, Chevron), lots of fossil fuel power companies that actively lobby against renewables, GEICO, stealerships [1](also known as dealerships), Lubricants (Lubrizol, only needed for gas cars) and quite possibly a lot more that I don't know about which are threatened/compete with Tesla. It is understandable that he will put his competitors down.

Buffett's only tech investment is IBM, which bombed. He didn't pick Apple[3], which is now half of Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio[2]. Got super lucky from Apple investment. Buffett buys monopolies/oligopolies, which as we all know do regulatory capture and steal money from everyone else.

Whilst I don't think RACI is that uncommon speak. I do think that there should be a glossary if people are using a lot of acronyms.

Like another poster said, in an engineering doc they might not spell out what REST or HTTP stands for or means and that makes sense.
This is semantic quibbling. An intervention was made to prevent expiration from occurring.
The FBI and NS are doing far more to destabilise the US than any foreign actors.
Right, and the point is to shape a society where the plebian morons don't have influence on anything of importance, voting being the notable exception.

I know you're not defending the point. I'm just saying.
France has strong support for French (language) music.

The end result is that a lot of it is pretty decent. (Sure there is complete trash, they don’t have better tastes than others)

Some rappers write books that win literature prizes. Plenty of French language hip hop and rap has deep lyrics that go way beyond what most English language stuff achieves.

This airline tried to kick me off a flight, because they were unaware of the visa free stay in China.
Nonsense, this was a prolongation.
> Right, but they were designed that way. It was likely known at design time that there was a maximum height.

Airplane cockpits aren't built the way they are for shiggles. Pilots need to be able to reach controls, and if you design a cockpit for fitting people over 6ft tall, it might become unergonomic, if not downright dangerous for shorter pilots. There are actual safety issues at play here.

Similar for eyesight -- yes they can carry a backup, until they forget it. The safest thing is to require pilots to have adequate uncorrected vision, though some are loosening that to allow lenses. Do you want to fly on an airplane where there's a nonzero chance the pilot is effectively incapacitated because he forgot his glasses?

> I'd be curious if they're equally cautious with people who are diabetic or have cardiac risk factors.

To different degrees, but yes, they are. Some airlines will require their pilots to get regular medical checkups.
I read through this entire post because I had some time. Obviously, it was a waste of time, and while I'd normally find it at least mildly comforting that the author of something bad spent more time writing it than I did reading it, I'm not convinced that's true because I think a significant amount of this was written with ChatGPT. This is someone who's not a biologist (but can use GPT-4 to help him understand genetics and neuroscience well enough, he assures us, so no need to worry), and has a start-up idea that he thinks has a trillion+ dollar total addressable market, so he's asking for a mere $800k to get started. What's the incredibly valuable idea that's been overlooked by everyone? Getting access to genetic databases to try and associate various genes with intelligence, then editing roughly 20,000 intelligence genes in an adult human brain with gene therapy, in order to give said adult human 200-800 IQ (don't worry, he's not crazy; he thinks the 800 IQ figure is unlikely to be achievable in practice, even if his theory says it should work). He thinks this will help us solve AI safety concerns because we can inject the alignment researchers with the magic smart serum so they'll work better (presumably the super serum can be loaded into tranquiliser darts in order to get it into enough of said researchers before he is tackled by security at OpenAI).

Putting aside that the ideological goal here is to make racism real, even if I agreed with the whole Nazi part of it, this is an absolutely ludicrous plan. Like, in feasibility. He's concerned about the close-mindedness of people who compare this work to Hitler's Nazism merely because he wants to create a race of Übermensch, but he should be more concerned about the fact that there are incredibly obvious stumbling blocks in his plan like "the therapies you're talking about literally injecting into the human brain with a needle kill nearly a third of human cells they're exposed to in-vitro" or "every government on the planet will sign an international treaty specifically to ban this and put you through Nuremberg 2.0 if you actually do this to adult human beings".

Writing this comment was 200-800 times more enjoyable than reading this guy's blog post, but it does not at all make up for just how bad it is. Eugh.
I am 6’4 and I am baffled by that argument. Not being “discriminatory” against pilot height is not the most important design choice in an airplane.
What about a 7 feet tall person? Would it also be “discriminatory” if they can’t be a pilot?
Or vote for RFK junior, who wants to disband the spy agencies because he believes (rightly or wrongly) that they assassinated his father and uncle.

Good. Trump deserves it for what he's done.

If your implication is that Trump is somehow truly against the spooks, just remember how eager he was to deploy federal marshals to cities like Portland and Seattle to round up protestors. Look to his past comments about the spooks. Before he was on their shit-list, he would make comments like this:

No. It’s most probably in your head and is inconsistent with everything I have seen or heard. Or you were unintentionally rude, maybe. There are pricks everywhere so I don’t doubt that someone was like that, but I seriously doubt that the people in general were.
Here in Australia we have very old banking systems. However there have been newer payment platforms put over the top of existing systems to facilitate near instant payments.

All of our major banks have PayID, which means you send money to a mobile number and the transaction is instant.

I agree 100% what you have said. Just showing that there is improvement in this space.

Having said that, Australia had Visa Paywave completely rolled out and ubiquitous before the US did... believe it or not
It's the same reason that students get free MSDN access and unlimited windows keys.

It's a pretty solid strategy, but naturally favors the current incumbent who has the $$$ to throw around.

if i have a function foo which calls functions bar and baz to build up a dynamically allocated string (using a custom allocator), then calls function quux to transfer ownership of the string, foo needs to store the information about how big the allocation currently is, and how to allocate more of it, in a place where functions bar and baz can access it. if it doesn't do that, bar or baz can easily overflow the buffer because they don't know how big it is. this is a particular case of 'having the requested allocation size on hand is a necessary condition to use the object correctly'

but if foo is passing this data structure to bar and baz, it can pass it to quux too, so the problem as you described it just doesn't exist

(unless your code is only working by the merest of chances and will have some cves later this year the first time some competent programmers look at it)

'bar or baz can easily overflow the buffer because they don't know how big it is' is a particular case of 'having the requested allocation size on hand is a necessary condition to use the object correctly'
Interesting. Anecdotally, I think I saw plenty of 6ft captains on my way out of the airplane.
Which is irrelevant to the discussion for the most part.
Where did you hear this? Is discovery in his case different from discovery in any other legal case (prosecution is required to share all information they are preparing their case with, so that the defense can prepare a defense.

Or did he/one of his loyalists just /say/ that? I'm genuinely curious because I thought all legal defenses were allowed to read the discovery.
Most definitely code and documentation contributions and to a degree donations — although I clearly prefer the former, simply because it keeps me engaged the most by talking with others about this project, getting new ideas, etc.

But I really welcome any sort of contribution. For example there's also things like improving the main interface language (English isn't my first language, so there's likely room for improvement there), helping with support questions and bug reports, artwork, ...
Add replication and you get virus like behavior. Not sure if this a good idea.

I’ve encountered native memory issues in those “enterprise” apps. Lots a frameworks set an upper bound and if you load one library too much you can run out of JIT compiler cache leading to constant compilation which tanks performance.
