I dimly recall 10-15 years ago that we saw approximately 10% faster running texture filtering on HT cores in addition to real cores -- I'm hazy on the number and I don't remember which CPU we tested with but it seemed as though for a fetch-heavy workload SMT can help hide a cache-miss on one thread by doing ALU on the twin core. Since it didn't cost anything and we already scheduled work across real cores we didn't complain about the gains being marginal from HT cores and left it enabled.

More recently we did some DirectX 12 MT-rendering tests; since there's more considerable overhead for breaking up the work into more batches so we wanted to be sure so we checked carefully.

On a i7-12700K we found that distributing Dx12 work to SMT or E-Cores had no benefit, even in a contrived rendering stress-test.

However, on an unnamed game console, we found that scheduling additional work to the SMT cores improved draw performance by maybe 7%.

YMMV but my impression is the workload needs stall on memory enough to get signfican gains by interleaving the ALU from another thread and this might benefit low-power systems like laptops or mobile phones more than workstations.
We'll see how long that lasts. That's the shitty part of these layoffs: as soon as the negative PR dies down hiring resumes for less tenured employees that aren't as expensive (fewer stock grants, lower starting salaries). No matter how they phrase it in their letters this is always about making more money and dropping expensive employees is one way they'll do it.

I think the key is that the more vague and further out the ideas, the fewer details we should try to capture.

Dumping details into something that we can’t understand yet seems like it smacks of a way to manage anxiety. Kind of like an inverse form of procrastination.

It’s easy to believe that we can just think our way out of problems, but sometimes we need to build small things, solicit feedback and iterate. And that can be uncomfortable if there’s something impeding that.

> What do you want Apple to do? Personally verify every edit to every business on Maps?

I don't really understand why that would be too big of an ask for one of the wealthiest companies in the world, but at the very least, I'd expect Apple to yield to the authority of the business operator when changing the status to closed. Seems like a pretty solid reason for a lawsuit imo. I'm sure Apple would feel the same way if someone changed all of the Apple store retail locations to "Permanently Closed" on Google Maps and nobody checked it.
It's just as you have described, this is called dual stacking and is currently the most common type of IPv6 deployment.

Alternatively, cellular ISPs may make use of NAT64+DNS64. In this case, the IPv4 addresses are combined with a NAT64 prefix (most likely 64:ff9b::/96), producing addresses such as `64:ff9b::198.51.100.1`. It is effectively the same as CGNAT, but pretty much everything is single stacked IPv6 up to the IPv4<->IPv6 border relay in the ISP network.

Cloudflare's main business is being a CDN that can soak hundreds of gbps in bandwidth of DDoS traffic. Nothing to do with competence, though in your other comments you suggested that plugging things into different switch ports would give them new IPs and make things publicly routable so perhaps you're right to keep using Cloudflare.

> good job all the networks cables are glued in and no one ever plugged a cable into the wrong port, or doing so might result in all the devices behind that firewall getting exposed directly to the internet and no one noticing because everything still works.

So just put your database server on an IPv6 ULA (which is not globally routable)? There are other benefits to that, too, you know? Like that you can have a completely static address for the server, which is agnostic to whatever IPv6 prefix gets assigned by your upstream provider.
how do you use chatgpt to search for it?

i have been searching for a science fiction short story i read ~25 years ago - it was in a short story anthology book, probably not very famous because i've tried to plug it in and got nothing.

---

synopsis (since its a beautiful story and i may as well share it in case someone else here has read it and/or can prompt engineer chatgpt better than me):

- Humanity reached abundance but also got overpopulated - so the solution was to shard humanity by days. 1/7 of Humanity wakes and works on one day of the week, sleeps in cryopod the other 6 days.

- Main character is happily at work on a Monday tightening the screws on the planetary solar panels, when he notices a sleeping woman in another pod (another day, say Saturday idk) and falls in love on sight (i'm not 100% sure if it was physical-only, he may have read more about her or exchanged letters or something but cant fathom in-world reason how that would work)

- After a lot of personal cost and effort, he manages to get a once-in-a-lifetime exemption from the government to switch days, and wakes up on Saturday for the first time in his life.

- Goes over to see the woman... only to find she's asleep, because she just transferred to Monday because she also fell in love with him. He's barred from switching back because it was a onetime deal.

- Goes back to work to his new Saturday job... loosening screws on the planetary solar panels.

In my limited understanding, this is only theoretically possible. It requires a proxy fight, which requires specialized lawyers and is therefore very expensive. Simply owning the shares isn't enough, you also have to have the money to exercise the legal rights they theoretically entitle you to.
Why is everyone doing layoffs at once? Is it just in the news now or are they taking advantage of everyone else doing it?
It also took me 5 years to recover from a bad trip - I believe it was so traumatic that it gave me some form of PTSD. I had actually tripped several times before and also tried other psychedelics. Completely agree that online you are met with skepticism and FUD at the mentions of these experiences, and also that maybe ultimately it did have some positives come of it (respect your body and mind and don’t be reckless? Develop mental resilience?).

After that experience, I believe that for most people the benefits do not outweigh the risks until the drug is better studied clinically. The exceptions would be those who stand to experience exceptional quality of life improvements from a treatment-resistant depression breakthrough or cluster headache treatments (which AIUI are already pretty clinically established).

That said, I am probably too curious about life and novel experiences to have ever heeded this kind of advice if it meant not satisfying my curiosity at least once. So if you’re dying of curiosity I get how it might be worth it anyway.
I get it. Ya, it seems like the case is part of the Bluetooth works but it's not. It's just the charging case.

I would find it useful if the case was a wifi receiver where you could select your streaming app similar to a radio and have it broadcast in Bluetooth to your earbuds.
The case often has Bluetooth itself, as you can usually see the charge status of the case on your phone as well. Pairing is usually initiated through a button on the case as well.

Are they leaning in to it or are they forced to fit in the disclaimer?

Seems like the strategy of the ad is to repeat the word "Free" so much people don't remember the rest and to make it seem like the disclaimer is meaningless. Even with it, it's still free.
> it signals a failure in the maintenance pipeline.

Without knowing the risk caused by it, it may signal nothing of the sort. The mechanics already had cleared the plane to fly. Very, very few planes have any sort of in-flight issue like that. Those facts, rather than our ignorant speculation, signal the state of the 'maintenance pipeline' (if such a thing exists).
So it is really easy to update the information.

Anyone with an iPhone, Mac or web browser can do so and I've done it dozens of time because as everyone knows the POI quality is terrible.

And it's really not hard to interact with Apple here in Australia. You can either call their support number which goes direct to a person or visit an Apple Store.
Conversion to IPv6 is an item in the 14th Five Year Plan (2021-2025) of the People's Republic of China.[1]

"We will accelerate the large-scale deployment of 5G networks, increase the user
penetration rate to 56%, and promote the upgrade of gigabit optical fiber networks.
We will build up technology reserves for the future deployment of 6G network
technology. We will expand backbone network interconnection nodes, set up a number
of new international communication gateways, and comprehensively promote the
commercial deployment of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)."

There is a migration schedule.[2][3] As of this month, there are supposed to be no new IPv4 services.
The goal is IPv6 only by 2030. Actual adoption in China is reportedly only 25-30%, though.

As a counterpoint - I'm generally more likely to avoid tools built in Rust or Go. Because I don't have their toolchains installed at all times. With tools written in C - I can often just clone repo and build it with one-two commands without clobbering my dotfiles or downloading big toolchains, that otherwise useless for me.

I agree with you on Python, but I also want to add Javascript. Just remembering trying to install something from npm sends shivers down my spine. Never again.

A lot of questions about AST here, like

"Starlink was already catching a lot of bad press for 'night glare' and you guys are launching something that is literally two decimal orders of magnitude worse?"

"243 launches @$85M each is about $20.7 billion dollars in launch costs, that's a lot of money and I wouldn't expect SpaceX to give you a discount."

"How many spares? What is your per-satellite cost? How much revenue per phone user do you need to get to even cover the cost of operating, much less the cost of operations and depreciation?"

"What is the probability that your 600+ sq foot antenna will be pierced by micrometeoroids? How many until it's no long effective?"

"What is your station keeping propellant load? How long does that last?"

So many questions.

I wish them success, yet it feels to me as if they have really chosen a very difficult path to get to where they want to get to. Success is hard already.

3. If the Asian guys really wanted to deescalate the situation, they would have left ages ago. They stayed because they think they are in the right to force the British guy to not flim them.

you do know single network devices can have more than one ip address?

afaics, the biggest issue with ipv6 is if its active all devices on a network can easily be coaxed to never route traffic anywhere near the router/firewall the network admistrator intended, simply by handing out extra routing info for alternate networks.

At least here in rural MN, it went so well that there's no such thing as a snow day anymore. Kids now know that if school's closed due to weather, they have to log on and do class remotely on their Chromebooks.

> those are still _global_ addresses

They are meant to be globally _unique_ (or effectively so, by utilizing RNG you ensure that it is very, very unlikely for two organizations to have the same ULA), but they are not globally routable.
I'm not a fan of this model. This happened with Zbrush when Pixologic got bought by Maxon. Pixologic had perpetual licenses and Maxon ended them and now has a one year support "perpetual" license, so you need to spend hundreds of dollars every year. The alternative is an even more expensive month-to-month subscription.

Ideally at the very least, there is perpetual support for bug fixes. New features would be modular and bought separately. I haven't seen this model yet outside of games, and I wonder if it would be the best compromise between subscriptions and full ownership.
Our needs don't change, our expectations change, often due to marketing. Especially true for widgets that don't serve base needs. That's fine, we do want progress. But we should have the choice.

Wouldn't you want to be in control of the decision? If your air conditioning cools you and you are okay with it's current efficiency, you should be able to repair it. It's not like corporations are building short lived products out of environmental concerns about efficiency. If you leave it in their hands, then the consumer loses control, and companies do the obvious.

It also reduces competition and innovation in my view. Why try hard to R&D products people want to upgrade to, when you can just wait for their unit to break and sell them a mediocre upgrade.
I re-read the section of the notice that scenario would apply to, and I actually think its pretty clear that is not SRE. Correcting defects discovered after the software is put into production, or discovered in released version of software, and not considered SRE. See section 5.03(5)(b) of the notice. Pre-release bug fixes are still SRE though.

Apple Maps business listings are woefully unreliable. Much less likely to have data (hours, phone/website, existence...) and what data is there is often stale. Only reason I use it is to avoid installing Google apps and IME OSM[1] is even worse. If I actually depended on maps for anything important on a regular basis there's no question I'd be using Google.

It’s the tension between technological progress and societal inertia at its fundamentals. Exact same argument can be applied to many areas including software. You can’t solve it. It’ll be solved when technological progress stops.

In my experience, if you go this route what you end up with is a thousand tickets with a title and little to no description text that eventually get deleted because you can't figure out what it was about six months later (even if you're the one who wrote it).
How are those pertinent questions? Even with the answers, you (and I) would have no idea what we were talking about. The only pertinent question is: Do qualified mechanics certify that the plane is safe?
I'm sorry, I didn't intend to say that the player walkout was due to sexual harassment or discrimination claims. The player's association voted for a walkout because the players did not have faith in Riot and in fact believed that their decisions were jeopardizing the health of the esport. I agree the player walkout had nothing to do with the employee walkout and in fact it happened much later, after the lawsuit had already been settled. The way I wrote the comment made it seem like they were the same when it was actually my intention to say the opposite. I was trying to say that Riot has failed in other ways unrelated to sexual harassment and discrimination.
>What do you want Apple to do? Personally verify every edit to every business on Maps?

Why do people act like human moderation would be such an untenable burden? These tech companies are GIGANTIC, they can afford to do human moderation.
Definitely sometimes, but my point was simply that whoever is being let loose is taking the downside. It might help their friends who are still employed but they’re feeling the most immediate downsides and likely will not benefit if it does save the business.
Could not agree more. I have tripped countless times. But in the late 80s and early 90s. No hippies to be found. I did have some interesting revelations but nothing I wouldn't have come to via other means of conversation or introspection.

For me, and most people I was doing this with, it was just an affordable, long lasting drug. Sure, I had read various books about opening the doors of perception but at some point you realize it's just more "you" that you are finding.

I do think psycadelics can be used therapeutically in the right conditions but I'm not convinced ad hoc trips will get you there unless you are already skilled at introspective techniques.

The one thing I'll say I agree with is it does change your perspective and can give you a break from your ego. Seeing how nice it is to not be a slave to all the negativity, dwelling in the past, and obsessing over the future is very freeing and taught me that pursuit of meditation was worth doing.

Ultimately, I'd say meditation can give you the benefits that people associate with psychedelics if you are consistent in the practice.
In this current job market 6 months to next job is a very quick turnaround...
I make something of a hobby out of filing Apple Maps corrections. Partly for my own reference, partly to support businesses (especially ones I really love), and partly just because there are lots of opportunities to do so because it isn't google maps, and it's fun to see one accepted, like a little game

To their credit, they're usually quick to turn around and update the info (or follow up for additional evidence that the correction is accurate)
So can mediocre lucky ones. A lot of systems are very poorly designed.
I doubt more law is the solution.
