The problem is that Numpy is not in fact anything close to a thin wrapper around BLAS/LAPACK like people seem to think it is.

First of all, it contains a ton of custom C code, which to some extent could be extracted to a separate library in theory, but isn't. Second, a lot of that custom code interacts deeply with the Python C API, which historically was very open-ended. Even getting it to work on another implementation of Python was a challenge that took a long time to reach baseline usability.

You could forego Numpy and call out to a library like Eigen, but even then you have a huge amount of work ahead to achieve anything resembling feature parity.

If there there are a zillion EVs, which cleverly charge up when the spot electrical price gets low, then those free-or-negative prices for electricity - which really seem to push people's buttons - will not actually happen.

I am not aware of either the electrical grid, or most current EV's & their charging hardware, being built to actually do this. A whole lot of specialized stuff will still need to be built.
I think there's something to be said for the wait period. The time to anticipate the result makes it feel very worthwhile, especially when only a handful of machines on the planet can do the calculation.

It all feels very mundane when I can do it on my slow commodity laptop in under a second.

Depends on the diversity/simultanity factor used in the planning. I am not sure if this is the same everywhere, but typically the copper in the ground is not calculated to 100% load of all attached houses and the farther you get away from the house the lower that number will get for economic reasons.

If you're asking ChatGPT about its own characteristics, you should not believe the responses. Models can't examine themselves, so unless the model was trained on specific information about itself, or unless the info is put into the System Prompt, then it cannot know the answer. A response indicating 4096 tokens would just be a hallucination, or a misunderstanding based on training data that saw references to what older versions of ChatGPT were trained on.

ChatGPT-4 is powered by GPT-4 Turbo at this point, so it has a context window that is much larger than 4096 tokens, whether it knows it or not. The ChatGPT application may limit the context size from reaching the full 128k to keep costs down, and it will be using some of the context window for its own purposes, but it's certainly able to maintain context across more than 4096 tokens of conversation.
Ruby does have the block related stuff like the & argument and the single line block { }. But other than that I also think it's relatively similar to Python (which doesn't even support blocks anyway).
It was meant to be a joke to a begin with, but people took it very seriously.

I guarantee they wouldn’t shut down the line while they wait for a fix for within-tolerance panel gap improvements - they would work on designing a fix that would be implementable on the line while continuing manufacture. Designing, Testing and Commissioning an improvement will often take many months.

The zero defect thing is fixing issues early rather than fixing them at the end - not shutting down the whole line if you identify that a tolerance can be improved and waiting for the fix.
But they should be recycled.

Snapdragon X Elite does not beat the M3 in single-core. It does beat the M3 in multi-core because of the 12 high performance cores, compared to 4 in the M3. It's more of a M3 Pro competitor.
It was a later machine than the Cray-1, but I remember seeing a post on the jsoftware forums from someone that ran interactive APL on a Cray. Having a REPL to access a machine like that in that era must have been quite something.
It's even worse.

Order of operations:

1. It just silently stopped working, started crashing, and I had no idea what was going on or why. Just sort of intermittent f-age where some older versions would work better, and newer ones would work worse. I never got it reliably working. In most cases, at some point, the system would become unresponsive, and then crash hard.

2. AMD removed it from the supported list (with no notice).

3. The github ticket above was filed, which explained what was going on.

Lots of time wasted debugging. This interacted with a half-dozen other AMD bugs and issues (such as learning the GPU only worked for compute headless; I needed to drive my monitor with a different card).

Human time is more expensive than equipment, so the total cost of this stuff was astronomical.

Yes, notice is industry-standard, but at the very least, when support broke / was later removed, the driver could try warning me "We no longer support this card, do you REALLY want to proceed?" rather than letting me know by hard-crashing my system.
I fully agree. Essentially, the PAM wraps a pure knowledge-based “keys as capabilities” model into a much richer “real capabilities” model.
No, I'm imagining arbitrary servers. The admin's right to block a server still stands even over petty arguments like that, and it's the whole instance that will get to bear the consequences, with the admin being the one responsible for the block and the users being responsible for trusting that instance's administration team. That's the trust that Fediverse is actually built upon - everything else flows from there.

I'm not saying that everything an admin does is necessarily good if they have users left. I'm saying that if a user disagrees with something their admin does, they're free to reach out and dispute it, or switch instances. Some users won't notice, others won't care - but if they don't notice and don't care, then there's no problem to solve.
I believe they’re claiming better than M2, I don’t think M3 was out when they claimed that.

There are countries with 7 year programs. 5 or 6 is more common. But some of those require an extra internship year before residency (which may be optional).

But you’re forgetting the part where the US doesn’t have a national high school curriculum. So a direct high school to medschool pipeline in the US would definitely include a year or 2 of general education.

Are there application for Android and iPhone that do E2EE for SMS in the way that OTR does it for IRC and a few other apps? Meaning people don't depend on a server to create/manage keys, its person-to-person and pre-shared secrets could be shared out of band such as pointing the camera to the other persons phone screen or USB or external storage. Google already reads all my text messages, as they do for most people on Android.

I personally would never use the popular platforms like Signal, WhatsApp, etc for my own fundamental and philosophical beliefs but I am probably alone in not trusting them.

NaN $ Worth. I'm crushed.
Sure. The thing is that in the real world if people get essentially free electricity they are not going to invest in energy efficiency because there is no benefit in doing so.

I don't think this will happen anytime soon, though. Renewables are still expensive and in many cases rely on price guarantees by the government, and we're still in a phase when production has to increase significantly to keep up with demand. So overall the market reality and incentive is to push for efficiency while prices remain relatively high (at least in the UK)

Wow, this is awesome.

I'm working on a design for a next-gen OS, and I already have some things that are in the article, like starting a blank process to be mutated before start [1], file descriptors as handles/capabilities, and such.

But there are some other things I don't have that I like.

For the bootstrap problem, I realized something that the author did: the better interface is generally more powerful:

> When requests and responses are paired 1-1, the asynchronous APIs offer perhaps performance improvements but no expressive power. When they are not 1-1, however, things get more interesting.

Then I realized that if an OS is designed right, it will generally have more expressive interfaces, and those expressive interfaces can then be used to implement the APIs from other operating systems.

So I intend to make a microkernel that implements the APIs for the popular operating systems. Then I will make a userspace driver shim that implements the Linux driver API.

Boom! Instant OS and driver availability. Done right, Linux drivers will work, and software from the major operating systems will work.

And then I will encourage people to use the better APIs when on my OS until everybody is on my OS.

Embrace, extend, extinguish, but in a good way! :)

Will it work? Oh, heavens no. But as some comments have said, experimentation is a good thing.

Is this because all of the I/O operations in the standard library have to support async/fibers?

My impression is that everything was migrated to be asynchronous by default, unlike in Python where all of these operations were reimplemented in the async "color". Is that true?

> If Apple had been at the forefront of Intel CPUs, the transition would have looked like a slight loss in performance for tremendous increases in battery life which most would have been happy with.

The M1 launched two months after the first Intel Tiger Lake processors, so Apple was pretty much on-time for moving the 13" MacBook Pro off of Intel's Ice Lake, and it wasn't behind on performance: https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/intel-core-i7-1185g7-v...

The larger MacBook Pro was later moving off Intel and was using a very old (2.5 years) Intel CPU at the time the M1 Pro and M1 Max launched, but even comparing against the CPUs Intel had at the time for machines of that class, the M1 Pro's performance looks fine: https://nanoreview.net/en/cpu-compare/intel-core-i9-11900h-v... And it's important to note that Intel themselves were largely to blame for the fact that the larger MacBook Pro was still using a 2.5 year old CPU: Intel never shipped Ice Lake processors for desktop or high-power mobile, so the Coffee Lake Refresh processors didn't have a successor from Intel until five months before the M1 Pro and M1 Max launched.

> Sounds like black hat tax accounting. If it's still worth something after 3 years it would be an in-kind payment which will need to be taxed.

Not really black hat though: it's extremely common. In many countries there are specific rules as to how much you can deduce: say 33.33% yearly and after three years it's considered to have a residual value of zero or 20% yearly and after five years it's considered 0.

But then: if you play by the rule, by not deducing 100% in a year... After x years it is considered to be worth just that: zero.

So even though "it's still worth something", from an accounting point of view it can be worth zero (depending on the item).

So you can do whatever you want with it even if it's true value is not zero. You can burn it, stash it, give it away for free.

Basically: anything you do with it except specifically sell it is easier from an accounting point of view.

Things get a bit more complicated when you cannot deduce 100% over x years but only, say, 60% over x years. Then the company, logically, is supposed to sell the item (laptop, bicycle, car) for 40% of the residual value to the item.

For example a friend of mine had his company buy him a 10 K EUR bicycle (no kidding) and after x years (don't remember if it was 3 or 4), he bought the bicycle for himself for 2 K EUR.

Now racing sims, that's a different beast: two large dials and huge demand for spacial awareness. I'd be surprised if screens where still around in that scene five years down the line.

>Sea level rise drowned a vast habitable area of north-western Australia driving long-term cultural change

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027737912...

Abstract

For most of the period of human occupation of Sahul (the combined Pleistocene landmass of Australia and New Guinea), lower sea levels exposed an extensive area of the northwest of the Australian continent, connecting the Kimberley and Arnhem Land into one vast area. Our analysis of high-resolution bathymetric data shows this now-drowned region existed as an extensive archipelago in Marine Isotope Stage 4, transforming in Marine Isotope Stage 2 into a fully exposed shelf containing an inland sea adjacent to a large freshwater lake. These were encircled by deep gorges and escarpments that likely acted as important resource zones and refugia for human populations at that time. Demographic modelling shows the shelf had a fluctuating potential carrying capacity through Marine Isotope Stages 4–2, with the capability to support 50–500 k people at various times. Two periods of rapid global sea level rise at 14.5–14.1 ka (Meltwater Pulse 1A), and between 12 ka and 9 ka, resulted in the rapid drowning of ∼50% of the Northwest Shelf. This likely caused a retreat of human populations, registering as peaks in occupational intensity at archaeological sites. We contend that the presence of an extensive archipelago on the Northwest Shelf in Marine Isotope Stage 4 facilitated the successful dispersal of the first maritime explorers from Wallacea, creating a familiar environment for their maritime economies to adapt to the vast terrestrial continent of Sahul.
Another fun fact: very early humans (Australopithecus) coexisted with megalodons, giant dinosaur sharks that could swallow a hairless ape whole.

>Studies show [...]

2. what is their methodology for "maximum environmental benefit", and how do they account for the fact that when you buy a new car that costs 5 tons CO2e to produce and sell it 2 years later, that you're not on the hook for all 5 tons of emissions? That said, the cost of buying cars every 2 years probably isn't zero either. There are transaction costs and at the margins you're probably pushing the average lifetime of a car ever so slightly lower, thereby causing more emissions to be generated from manufacturing. However on the flip side, OP mentioned that he was doing this with teslas (ie. electric cars), and they're better for the environment compared with ICE cars. If his actions are displacing used ICE cars, he could be actually doing a net good by effectively subsidizing the replacement of ICE cars with electric.

>This is realized when you look at vast junkyards of unused cars in the US.

The tight used car market begs to differ.
