Yeah, it could be that they plan to do #3 through use of their chunky GPUs. There is definitely a lot of focus on the whole APU concept. From look at some of the dies and what projects like ggml have been able to do through mixed computation, I'm guessing the neural engine is ~3-5x the throughput/area vs GPU for the kinds of operations its doing.

Trying to map neural nets onto graphics seems reasonable, but personally I would bet on neuralizing graphics to be the better strategy long term.

Inference/RAM is 100% the bottleneck, not storage, and it isn't close.

These models all have to be fully loaded in memory to run. I think the max RAM on an iPhone is 8GB, max storage is 1TB, so we're talking 2 orders of magnitude more ability to store models vs actually running them.

And of course you'd really rather not use the full RAM for inference.

Many things and services now 'require' an app, but I never do and in practice that doesn't seem much of an issue. It's just sad to hear it won't be possible to sidestep if I ever do own (or rent) an electric car, which ofc I fully expect. I already caved by having a phone with Google Play services enabled for a few banking apps. But I figure I can have some trust in them, since they are my bank.

A friend of mine has a card with which he can charge at certain places, but definitely not all (so he has some anxiety over that, in new places you never can be sure it actually works). Is such a card an option at those places that 'require' and app?

And what's even the reason for this? Those unmanned fossil fuel stations debit your card with some largish amount before you can take fuel. Why would things need to be more complex than that when charging electrons?
To me safety is mostly about the risk of injury and death to me. And mostly about death.

Humans die from driving only once every 100 million miles on average.

So until there is a comparison at this scale, to me it’s a very incomplete picture of safety to say that you are outperforming humans.

If driving my own car means colliding 100x as often but I expect to die 2x less often, I would consider self driving to be much much much more unsafe. There is really no way for me to understand the risk of fatalities from a sample of only 7 million miles, since either humans or a system with 2x the fatality rate of humans would both be expected to have 0 fatalities at this scale.

Given we are at 7m miles, hopefully this comparison is coming soon and I will be much more convinced.
So my thinking is that if they control supply (they do of course), they control demand, and that there is no “per-card” demand curve. If a card is reprinted and drops from $100 to $50, they can reprint until it’s $10
> Because these non-Gmail Google accounts aren’t actually a member of the Google organization, they won’t show up in any administrator settings, or user Google lists.

That's why. This bug allows an attacker to retain access to various accounts attached to an already-compromised company or employee of the company. Not only that, but the retention is completely invisible to the account administrators.

Needing the same level of access that an employee has in order to utilize it doesn't make it less valuable. There are plenty of valuable bugs that can only be utilized from specific positions. Consider how many hacks have happened because an employee's devices or accounts were compromised, rather than some server system that no one individual owns. The recent Okta hack happened that way.

I was a part-time contractor for Barefoot, and came along for the ride during the acquisition, so I have some first-hand knowledge of this. I am very much out of the managerial loop so I have no insight into the actual motives for killing the project, but I can tell you that at least one of the founders cared very much and fought tooth and nail to keep it alive.

> It still seems like a ridiculously foolish idea, considering how much money Intel spent acquiring Barefoot

Acquiring companies in order to kill them is a horrible business practice but not unusual. The thing that makes no sense to me is why they kept it going for three years before killing it. If they bought it in order to kill it, they should have done that before spending another hundred million on it.
I love my European laws that would fine them if they were to do something like that.

Wikimedia Russia was an outreach organization; their role was primarily to run local conferences and fundraise. Its closure has no impact on the operations and policies of the Russian Wikipedia and other localized projects -- which are, in any event, focused on the language, not the country. (By way of analogy, notice that the Chinese Wikipedia is still operational, despite the site having been blocked in mainland China nearly since its inception.)
I think you (or maybe me) has a view on how decisions are really made at large companies that is divergent from reality.

Yeah of course each layer has a understanding of "their" area, but the point is that if they decide to screw over their constituents then the constituents a) don't necessarily get to find out, b) cannot do anything direct about it c) face reprisals if they do

Those three points are the basics of democracy- not is my congressman faithfully representing the views i voted for.

Put in place open budgets, in-house journalism and reporting, and if the board director chooses an approach they cannot adequately explain then yes I think voting for different boss may well be an effective measure.

It may be even that the time is taken to generate a PDF.

Another potentially interesting thought..

The idea that "all code is technical debt" is saying that all code has a non-zero interest rate. In popular parlance though, we don't actually call code technical debt unless we think the interest rate is unnecessarily high.

To try and be more practical, logging is a good example. For some, cleaning up logs once every month or so is just a cost of doing business, it is not avoidable. Similarly, just adding a "grep -v DEBUG" is also just a cost of doing business and watching the logs. Someone else might look at this and call it technical debt, the lack of logrotate & overly verbose logging make all of the above unnecessary.

There are just lots of dimensions to it. To one person, having those DEBUG logs might have been the difference in finding a problem vs not, yet to another those DEBUG logs may never be useful and all they do is create noise. The interest rate we assign to code is incredibly subjective, depending on both task and person.

The kid was able to join an international cybergang and hack into a multi-billion dollar corporation. That doesn't sound like somebody who's incapable of standing trial. The article also said that he was violent in custody, but it doesn't mention any form of violence when he was out on the streets. I'm not a lawyer (much less a British one), but an indefinite hospital order is way too severe for a non-violent crime. Hopefully he gets a retrial.

Children used to be an asset, not a liability. More hands to help on the farm! Now they’re an expensive luxury.

No matter how much we want to subsidize child care, it’s a huge investment that takes decades to start showing any returns. Would you invest in a company like that? Especially with no ability to meet the founders before hand (they haven’t been born yet)?

When you put it that way it seems crazy. Especially when you take into account how strongly the outcomes are linked to parental education and income.
I was debating on wether or not I was even going to bother responding to this because I feel like the votes are clear...

This is wild. You're comparing killing someone without evidence to protecting children.

Here is the thing, you seem to be assuming I am saying go check in with this officer or something and have my child checked on.

No, that is ridiculous.

I am talking simple things so other adults know your child is even alive. Requiring that they go somewhere for their tests. Maybe physical activity, other completely normal things. Requiring socialization. Idk, something.

> By the way, no one put you in charge of deciding what "basic protections for children" should be. In fact, no one put you in charge of anything.

Last I checked this is a forum and we were having a discussion. I never claimed to have an authority I just question how someone keeps arguing against protecting children without giving a single reasonable reason against it.

Also I would consider basic protections making sure the kid was alive and the kid was fed and not physically hurt. That is such an incredibly low bar that I do not understand how we are having this discussion at all. Maybe instead of attacking me you offer an alternative to this real problem? I would love to hear a solution that we can actually talk about.

I have been accused of fear mongering in this thread and yet it seems that while we have evidence that some parents are using the loopholes in the home schooling system to be able to do this, you don't want to do anything about it.

I have been accused of fear mongering, and yet the people like you responding are using a "slippery slop" argument of surveillance or "Freedom" that is not a valid argument.

In this case the stupid tool is Java.

What clear case did was correct for C/C++ and possibly Pascal and Ada and run by makefiles. Clearcase would spot which header files were used in your code and only recompiled if you changed those headers and if someone else used the same code and headers clear case would give them the .o file it had compiled for you. (no having to generate .dep files).
As local machines got faster this became less of a speedup.

In the latter all dependency tracking was not part of the language so it could be left to clear case.

Java does its own dependency tracking and so did cleanse on the server so you get the mess. Clearcase is not necessarily at fault here it just was not designed for Java.

FPGAs have never made sense. They're way too expensive to use in volume. There's no practical use case for "cool, I can reprogram the chip in the field to implement different functionality". Nobody has figured out how to usefully integrate them with a CPU to make a low-volume SOC. CPUs became so fast that most applications don't need customer hardware. Regular gate arrays are cheaper and faster above minimal volume.

They seem to only have been useful for prototyping and military applications (low volume and infinite budget).

What part of this covers mobile apps:

> SixtyFPS hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, make available, modify, display, perform, distribute the Software as part of a Desktop or Web Application.
Maybe, but even reading it in that spirit, I think it's not a smart, and especially not a curious article, and even partly wrong on GMS licensing, which only costs that much in europe and only for devices without Chrome and Google search:

> Android manufacturers will have to pay Google a surprisingly high cost in Europe in order to include Google’s Play Store and other mobile apps on their devices, according to documents obtained by The Verge. A confidential fee schedule shows costs as high as $40 per device to install the “Google Mobile Services” suite of apps, which includes the Google Play Store. The new fees vary depending on country and device type, and it would apply to devices activated on or after February 1st, 2019.

> But phone manufacturers may not actually have to shoulder that cost: Google is also offering separate agreements to cover some or all of the licensing costs for companies that choose to install Chrome and Google search on their devices as well, according to a person familiar with the terms. Google declined to comment.

> Google’s licensing terms are changing in Europe later this month on account of a European Commission ruling that barred the company from requiring phone manufacturers to bundle Chrome and search with the rest of its suite of apps. In public statements, Google has been cagey about exactly how the new licensing fees will be structured, but documents reveal the deal with EU manufacturers will be rated by country and pixel density.

The higher the standing charge as a percentage of the final cost, the less motivation there is to respond to the price signal, which is part of the point of providing varying prices to the end user.
I haven’t been around long, but based on what I see at local game stores, it seems like they’re still printing sets going back to 2021… so they print a set for 2-3 years typically?
It's a more like a tax regime. Very useful for small hobby passive income penny projects, due to the fact that you can use all the electronic credit card billings like an LLC, but only pay a small income tax using an app, only when there is income and literally absolutely not a penny if there is none.

Is it also a separate thing from an individual entrepreneur status in the US?
> Nobody, once they reach the age of having kids sits down in front of a spreadsheet to start thinking of how to deal with dance and soccer activities.

I don't know why you say this. As a single parent, who is close to another single parent, and with 5 total children in the mix, we absolutely do stare at the Google Calendar spreadsheet view, trying to think of how to deal with dance and soccer.

> Why do they need to go to different schools?

Different kids are different ages, or have different needs. Pre-K is a different building from K-5, which is a different building from 6-8, which is a difrerent building from 9-12, which is a different building from the Montessori Learning center, which is a different building from the Special Education center, which is a different building from the Intermediate School District building.

It's absolutely possible to have 5 kids, each of them only 1 year or so apart, all of them in the "same district, same zone, same address", and still end up with kids spread across 2 to 4 different schools. This is especially true if any of your children are outside of perfectly average, in literally any way.

Did you deactivate/close the card or only pause/lock the card? If it's deactivated, I'm not sure how they can go after you.

If you "force post" a transaction on those cards, who's going to be on the hook? The bank?

Exactly. It's interesting to think about a distant future where Waymo vehicles are more like "people movers" and don't need impact resistance, seatbelts, airbags, etc. because the risk of collision is so low.
I honestly don't understand the argument. I'm not saying there isn't one - but it's not as though any other tech company is clamoring to allow unauthorized third party access to their services.

Without a drastic overhaul across the entire industry around the definition of service providers "interface" and requirements around documentation, it'll just open an exciting new can of worms and pain for customers. Support will be hell, experiences that work seamless will be difficult to achieve.

Again - that's not to say it's a bad idea, it just seems like we'd need a real rethinking of how we're doing things as an industry. That could be good, or we end up with a tragedy of the commons.
