That Bluefield hardware looks neat, although it also sounds like a real project to program it :).

I can imagine two credible configurations for high efficiency:

1. A motherboard with a truly minimal CPU for bootstrapping but a bit beefy PCIe root complex. 32 lanes to the DPU and a bunch of lanes for NVMe. The CPU doesn’t touch the data at all. I wonder if anyone makes a motherboard optimized like this — a 64-lane mobo with a Xeon in it would be quite wasteful but fine for prototyping I suppose.

2. Wire up the NVMe ports directly to the Bluefield DPU, letting the DPU be the root complex. At least 28 of the lanes are presumably usable for this or maybe even all 32. It’s not entirely clear to me that the Bluefield DPU can operate without a host computer, though.
Certain Gut Microbes Tied to Cognitive Function in Children
"Several microbial species were significantly enriched in children with higher cognitive function scores (eg, Alistipes obesi, Asaccharobacter celatus, Eubacterium eligens, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii), with Sutterella wadsworthensis being the only species significantly negatively associated with these scores."

Helpful! Would you use it for future projects or recommend any others? I think I might give it a try regardless. I'm not crazy about installing millions of node dependencies like with most other frameworks.
Humans and AI are not the same thing, legally or physically. The law does not currently grant AI rights of any kind.
> One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That's the consumer shift that needs to happen. They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That's a transformation that's been a bit slower to happen [in games].

"Needs to happen" is a pretty strong statement. Why does it "need" to happen? Are current customer behaviors/preferences some kind of existential threat to humanity? Nothing needs to happen. The company might want it to happen, but that's different. Companies talking about a mass [and profitable] shaping of population behavior as being "necessary" should alert our antennas a little.
Those are physical things that had to be amortized anyway, and I had planned for that.
I must be so much of a Guesser that I can't even imagine taking this route to ask someone to work on something for me.

Is this like, "We need a postgres database set up figure it out," or "We need a database that allows full-text indexing (and I know I want us to use postgres but I'll let you figure it out and hope you picked the right one of many)."
On real CRTs you could do quite a bit to increase the contrast by fiddling with the knob. I think someone just has their emulator set up wrong for the video.
I don't know what the standards are in the UK, but certainly in the USA (and most law is based on English law) you have to "lay a foundation" for any documentary evidence that you introduce at trial. The crux of this is essentially having a witness with knowledge of the document taking the stand and swearing that the document is true and accurate. (to lie about it would technically be perjury)

Significant but not as much as one might think.

Hm yreah but if it's 10A it will be really short like < 100ms. A physical melt fuse should have no issues with that. Most general-purpose fuses are really slow.
A one-pass attempt probably wouldn't be that impressive, but i wonder about having games run split-second "play tests" of spontaneously generated content using some kind of adversarial network to estimate the player's reaction. Then questlines could be iteratively fine-tuned while in progress, more like what a human DM does.
Thank you, I like this! I will be using it now.

If you discharge the high voltage battery to 0, you’ve got much bigger problems than potentially needing to replace the low voltage battery. Leaving the high voltage battery at 0 is terrible for it as well, which is much more expensive to replace. Unless you’re leaving the car in that state for days, I don’t anticipate that you’d have any real damage to anything though.

I dont think I map into either one cleanly, it depends a lot on what it is, and what the context of it is.

Nor do I think most people are strictly one or the other either.
And as tech folks, we all know how insane it would be in the B2B space to suggest that the service provider can end their service at any time, not refund you anything, and have no liability. We should have MSAs with defined SLAs and contract terms for consumer SaaS (like video games and streaming) as well.

In theory a digital menu should be better for accessibility but I’ve found they’re either a link to a PDF (which offers some ability to zoom in) or they’re a hideous nightmare website with no easy way to increase font sizes due to them being more like a presentation rather than a simple menu.
The parent commenter is incorrect. Yes, the JXL authors do want to try to use JXL as a raw format, but they are focusing on other priorities right now, so the specification for how JXL could be used as a raw format doesn't exist yet. But the format is flexible enough to allow for it, without backwards-incompatible changes.

99.99% of the Internet -- is crap -- AI generated or not.

But this is also true about books, movies, music, products, corporations, etc., etc.

Everything really...

The thing is though, that the other 0.01% of the Internet (and the other 0.01% of everything else) -- are the proverbial "diamonds in the rough" -- the things that have great value...

But you gotta search to find them...

You know, "seek and ye shall find", "leave no stone unturned", etc., etc.

Ironically, Google's search engine, whose main rise to fame was caused by too little information on the Internet -- is now completely overwhelmed with too much crappy/spammy/subprime/agenda-based/advertising/biased/subpar/TL;DR/unnecessary information.

In other words, we've went from "too thin" to "too fat", from not enough information to too much information...

Google Search Engine's primary virtue -- its ability to find things on the Internet -- has now become its Achilles' Heel, information-wise...

(And I say that as a great fan of Google! At least at this point in time, 2024, i.e., from 1999-2024 -- the first 25 years of the company!)

Perhaps I'm guessing (as opposed to knowing), but I would say that the rise of ChatGPT (and other AI LLM online chat systems) was at least caused in part by too much information.

Think of ChatGPT -- not as a futuristic scary AI (although it could certainly become that too!) -- but as a more human-friendly filter (and that's the keyword, "filter") of information -- than the Google Search Engine is or ever was...

And that's what we need right now more than anything else -- intelligent filters to block out too much information...

The upcoming problem is (or will be!) -- since censorship and intelligent information filtering are twin siblings and run very similar parallel paths -- how do we distinguish one from the other?

How do we permit one, but not the other?

How do we permit intelligent information filtering, but not permit censorship?

You see, there's a very fine line between the two!

A very fine line!

What are we going to do, have a programmer code for what that line is? Have a 3rd party AI determine that exact line? Have a/the government(s) decide what that is?

?

It is or will be a future problem with no easy answer no apparent solution -- and it is starting to form as of this current day!

Perhaps the original unfiltered Google Search of 20+ years ago -- is not looking all that bad in comparison! :-)
For me, it was about 'what happens next with the output'. I found it really annoying trying to share or export. Bard behaved as it should. It's a few small things that make the difference.

I'll buck the trend and say that I love QR code menus. It lets us order at our own pace, even after our initial order, without waiting on the waiter. Additionally, my wife and I can both queue up what we want in the cart on each of our own phones and discuss before submitting the order. It's just way more convenient, the whole "wait on a stranger to take our order" thing isn't a necessary component of the restaurant experience for me, and if I need to ask questions, I've never had issues waving over a worker to help.
there used to be a site like hnchat
Yeah, Reddit isn't perfect, but for many kinds of subjective research it's still better than the SEO-fest that's the Google SRP.

It's more "90% spam" vs. "40% spam". At least there's some signal within the noise, whereas for many topics the Google search is just 3 pages of ChatGPT pablum before you get to 5 more pages of manually-written SEO bait, with a small smattering of actual valuable information.

The only time I can midly bear a digital menu is if it's a single PDF file that I can pinch and zoom. Otherwise it just feels obnoxious to have to tap thru menus or only see my choices isolated in multiple pages based on a category or something. It feels awkward to sit down with people at a restaurant then we all are tapping away thru some stupid interface for a menu. If it's a single PDF file that one can pinch and zoom around thats the only time I dont get extremely annoyed by this whole thing.

A corporation predicted huge increase in profits the next year, but didn't achieve it, so they blamed piracy for it and pressured governments to stricken punishment for piracy. A corporation felt entitled to money they didn't get and felt as a result vicitimised.

That's a bit of nonsense. As far as I know, all functions are sync in go. The fact that they are implemented async in the runtime with an user-space scheduler is irrelevant (you could otherwise make the point that there are truly no sync functions).

If we call the go programming model async, the word has completely lost all meanings.
This is also what happens whenever I try to install anything that uses the package managers for python or perl. For some reason, these two always fail with messages about conflicting, non-existent, or failed-to-compile dependencies. I work in bioinformatics - everything is in python or perl. My life is pain.
The protocol has a defined structure (check out 5.4.6 in [1]), and can therefore be detected and blocked. It's probably easier to block than a TLS VPN, which has a lot of typical TLS noise to hide in.

Not just you. Was disappointed to see the use of the 2x2 rather than a 2x3 and also no indents in the base. The structures made look precarious at best.
This is annoyingly wrong. The root reason is they record when it’s in sentry mode and it’s saved to the cloud so you can view footage on your phone. It isn’t some evil plan to maliciously record people. It’s bothersome that there can’t be rational conversation around anything space man related

I think GOG disproves this somewhat. A decent number of my coworkers who game buy their favorite games again on GOG to get the offline installers. Trust, but verify.
I think oversharing is an actual societal issue, people spend lots of energy trying to create an outwardly perfect narrative to share with friends, family and random strangers.

It's just so much mental energy to do so, and it harms (in the most vague use of this word) others, because they too think their life must be just as perfect as well.

Full mobile ordering is great, but there’s lots of places that have the worst of both worlds: a QR code linking to a digital menu, but still take orders with the waiter
This is entirely not the point.

I want to see a picture of a 5 kilometre high tower surrounded by spiralling cones of line on an infinite plane made of tessellating fractals.

Now I have that picture. Great.

I did not make than image "to be an artist". I made that image because I wanted that image. If it came out of a search engine rather than an AI, I wouldn't care.

This kind of utilitarian creation of images is like photography for things that don't exist. Fine art? Art? Craft? Search of latent space? Collage? I don't care.

Creator as an identity? I don't care.

Whether machines are allowed to learn from humans is a hot topic. Every working artist studies, in great detail, other artists. They often make exact copies, as exact as they can, of great works to learn how those artists made them.

Be very careful that in banning AI learning you do not also ban human learning. A law that covers one might also cover the other.
Even Yandex now gives better results. Now while I love Russian engineering, Yandex never worked well for English searches and if that is beating Google I'm not sure about Google's future.
> anything but the simplest precedence rules. For example, if unary `NOT` has a weaker precedence than other unary operators

Unary operátors use precedence levels (binding powers) too, they are no different (regarding the existence of precedence levels) from infix functions. This is just a simplification of the precedence table in the linked article (which I haven't read).

> or if `a < b < c` is to be treated differently than `(a < b) < c`

If you want "<" to be right associative, that's exactly one of the things that's easy to do with a Pratt parser, change the binding power on one side for the "<".

> if you want to forbid bitwise operators mixing with relationals

I don't know how using a Pratt parser would interfere with throwing an error?

Oh yeah the UK system.. I lived in Ireland for a long time and it was a bit archaic sometimes.

I like the idea of fuses in every plug, mind you. Because some equipment just can't be trusted. I didn't like the switches in every outlet (even though they're not mandatory, they are very common). And the way the plugs are so huuuge and always fall with the pins up do to the design so they are a foot-piercer.

In Ireland 1A fuses were available though even in the fuse kits in Tesco. With the same size as the others. And the practice doesn't always lead to actual safety, I've seen a lot of tinfoil and paperclips. Yes, really.

But the thing I really thought was the worst was the concept of having only one tap connected to the mains water line in the house, and having all the others fed by a huge dirty water tank in the attic, full of dead insects brewing away in the summer heat (yes even there it can get hot in summer). It seems like an ecological disaster and locals were always warning me to not drink the water from the bathroom or bedrooms taps. It's also a big possible cause of leaks. Here in Spain and in my home country of Holland we just feed all taps onto the mains.

But overall I tend to prefer EU standards rather than BS. The "Schuko" does have a few serious design flaws like the ability to plug it in upside-down so neutral and phase are reversed, but the French have found a solution for that :)
> I'll buck the trend and say that I love QR code menus. It lets us order at our own pace, even after our initial order, without waiting on the waiter.

Why not a paper menu plus order online? You could even have the order QR code and URL printed on the menu.

Absolutely and that is why you can't use an HSM. Thankfully generating keys on device and storing them on the cloud account encrypted by a passcode works. As the keys are a predictable size you can encrypt them multiple times with different passcodes.
The usefulness of a death register depends on how well people are identified.

In the US, the pervasiveness of social security numbers as id makes the social security death register very useful. Sure, there may be some deaths unreported, and some reported under the wrong SSN for various reasons, but most of the time it works.

I don't think the UK has a similar enumeration of people, and then you've got data problems. Names drift over time. Name and birthdate aren't unique. People may forget their birthdate non-fradulently and use another one; people reporting the death may not have the right birthdate and guess, etc.
> Yeah, duh.

That's not as obvious and not true for most applications. A game or a note taking app will be great or crappy regardless of the area. Maps is an application where the same version works great in on area and then completely unusable in another geographical area. That's pretty odd if you think about it. So then it leads to endless debate "It works great for me, better than Google maps" and of course there will be someone who says "NO! It's complete crap and never works". And both may be right.

> And I assume even Americans and Californians want to travel to places with bad coverage.

Most people don't travel that much. iPhone and Apple's ecosystem in general was never positioned as affordable to 7+ billion people everywhere. I don't know if Apple is going to bother mapping details of some remote village just become an iPhone carrying American might visit. Maybe eventually, but they'll start with US probably.

> The remaining 7+ billion people, tough luck.

Sure. Apple doesn't run a charity and providing details and accurate navigation and maps everywhere is not something they're in the business for.
You’re describing online ordering. This article is about links to a PDF.
I kinda make a point of asking the waiter for a physical menu anymore, and they usually give a very understanding smile and go grab one for me. I hope if enough people ask (in a non-shitty way) for paper menus that restaurant owners might get the picture.

Or they'll just implement the standard business playbook, which is "do what we really want to do and claim it's what the customers demanded"... or the new twist post-2020, "do what we've been desperate to do for years and claim it's for health reasons"
I’ve never had that problem. Maybe it’s because I bank with USAA, and a lot of their tech is out dated.
It's the same dumb junk the History Channel produces. Sad, but not anything new.
My two favourite places here went to qr including payment. It’s the best. There are horribly bad ways of doing it but I really like this way.
I'm probably in the minority, but I don't see what's so appealing with physical menus. I never actually cared whether a restaurant has one or the other, I will just use whatever they have, but I would much rather use a QR Code menu on my phone (especially if it allows me to order without talking to a waiter) than using a greasy, bulky menu that everyone else touches. I get that there are some disadvantages, but some of the ones listed in the article seem to be grasping at straws. Important historical documents? Give me a break. I don't know if this is a generational thing or not, but my friends (from 20 to 35) don't care for physical menus either.
PDFs suck for foreign countries since you can't as easily translate the content on demand like a website in a browser.

Otherwise, totally agreed.
Should it be notable that one of the most searched words on the “old internet” is OxyContin, the gateway drug to the opioid epidemic?
I think it's better to characterize different activities as related to asking or guessing, less useful to typify people as being one or the other. I definitely do things from both lists, I bet you do too.
