> While it's true the JVM is very performant, its performance actually comes at a cost: it has a JIT, Garbage Collector, a whole lot of machinery for Threads/VirtualThreads, JMX etc. all of which comes at a cost... thanks to multicore processors and lots and lots of RAM being available, this translates in really fast performance for Java applications... so that cost may be advantageous to you.

Here you say “it comes at a cost” twice, but you don’t say what the cost is! Or am I missing something?
Selected quotes:

*[1] A small asteroid about 3 feet (1 meter) in size disintegrated harmlessly over Germany on Sunday, Jan. 21, at 1:32 a.m. local time (CET). At 95 minutes before it impacted Earth’s atmosphere, NASA’s Scout impact hazard assessment system, which monitors data on potential asteroid discoveries, gave advance warning as to where and when the asteroid would impact.

*[2] This is the eighth time in history that a small Earth-bound asteroid has been detected while still in space, before entering and disintegrating in our atmosphere.

*[3] The asteroid’s impact produced a bright fireball, or bolide, which was seen from as far away as the Czech Republic and may have scattered small meteorites on the ground at the impact site about 37 miles (60 kilometers) west of Berlin.

I'm not sure how I feel about 95 minutes warning [1], had it been larger would there be more warning or would that be the alert time had it been heading for (say) Berlin.

I'd be interested in knowing how many were missed during the time they had advance warning for the eight seen [2].

Interestingly, according to Wikipedia¹, Pieper was not a professor of CS, as described in the article; instead, he taught "business administration and corporate governance", which can be compatible with his lack of understanding of the topic (nonetheless, this is a giant gap for somebody with a degree in CS).

Very cool, just subscribed to your mailing list. As a mechanical design engineer, I'm a bit jealous! Good luck with your endeavor
That's a really interesting perspective. I thought of the anonymity piece as a feature more so than a limitation. For example, you want to share something between two people, but want to "burn after reading". This way no one can associate the message to the two users or get access to the contents. The requester can always clear their local storage of the key. For example, it would be really useful when sharing information between a whistleblower and a journalist. Identity comes from the medium you share really in this case.
I've been impressed with the C++ clangd language server snappiness in Zed compared to both CLion (my old favorite) and Emacs (apple of my eye for 2.5 yrs).

I always thought the major slowness was coming from clangd itself, so I'm surprised and impressed to see that Zed appears to be quicker on this front. I might be using Zed as a 'second opinion' editor because of this.

However, now I'm used to the infinite customizability and coziness of Emacs, it's going to be hard for me to move across to Zed permanently.

It is not likely meat was preserved for any length of time back then. There were no methods to do so. Look at how predators work now: they eat what they can and the rest is lost.
I'm a bit puzzled by the bit about "orientals".

Was the term already obsolete at the time of writing, as to deserve analysis beyond considering natural in context?

E.g. one would probably not consider unusual the term "indian" for native Americans in the same period, I believe.

Probably just an incidental effect, but it also provides easy fodder for people who have a major incentive (political, economic) to undermine scientific research as an institution, and sow doubt about any and all research that is harmful to their agenda.

Shanzhai AirPods Pro copies the look from Apple, has working noise cancellation, and even has a pop-up pairing window on iPhone, and all those cost less than 200 CNY (30 USD).
It used to be a popular choice among people who want AirPods-like earphones, and some may use it for fraud (it looks identical to an authentic one).

People didn't go crazy buying those Chinese knock-offs. They kept buying phones with the batteries sealed in them.

As a gut check, it does make sense people would prefer sturdiness and waterproofing to replaceable batteries and it seems likely that those things pull phone design in opposite directions.
> Futurama I think is the exception that proves the rule here for maintaining quality.

Sadly the reboot has terrible ratings, at least according to IMDB.

I haven't seen the second half of the _true_ last season (from 2013) of Futurama, nor have I seen the reboot. I feel if I never watch the _true_ final season it never really ends.
Is there anything like django admin?

I'm open to JS or Java tbh, but django is just so productive because of admin, forms, user management and DB migrations.

Give me those in a more performant language and I'll be interested, but I just can't find them. Add to that that django has all those under one roof so you can hire a django dev who doesn't need to spend 2 weeks learning your libraries, and I'm just wondering why the faster languages ignore such a value proposition.
Looks very interesting, thanks for the pointer.

You can override the detection function and get the faster Intel AVX kernels:

https://danieldk.eu/Posts/2020-08-31-MKL-Zen

Some back history: they used to use (slow) SSE kernels when a non-Intel CPU is detected. Over time, they started adding kernels for Zen, but last time I tested the Zen kernels were still slower than the AVX kernels. So it still pays off override the Intel CPU detection.

It looks like these benchmarks use MKL 2020 update 3. If I recall correctly, this version did not have the Zen sgemm kernels yet. A newer MKL version would perform much better and if you disable Intel detection, MKL would be competitive on Zen.
This looks really nice but it’s good to point out that this project can use the Ollama HTTP API or any other API, but does not run models itself. So not a replacement to Ollama, but rather to the Ollama npm. Perhaps that was obvious because the post is about that, but I briefly thought this could run models too.
REM was quite common across a number of languages at the time. You might still see them in '.bat' files
Took me a while to remember this too (it had been 30 years)! I started using IF just GO TOing over a couple of lines whenever I had a more complex IF "block", but I had this nagging feeling that there was a better way :)
If you're interested in the cantenna radar you might also find Henrik Forsten's radar interesting: https://hforsten.com/6-ghz-frequency-modulated-radar.html. It uses largely the same high-level design, but is a bit more integrated as a single unit (rather than a series of minicircuits components).

I've built the MIT radar before and it is a great way to learn the basics of radar!

In either design you can likely get away with <$500 worth of materials.

Henrik has follow-up blogs adding and modifying this design for more functionality, it's a pretty neat project to follow!
> Embraer, Bombardier, Mitsubishi

Except for Embraer, which has a foothold in the regional jet market, none is relevant.

Mitsubishi is not able to bring a regional jet to fruition and Bombardier (which designed an excellent plane) is now Airbus (the A220 series).

I don’t think those company goals should be looked at face value.
What is interesting to watch is the dynamics (what was there last year and isn’t there anymore), read between the lines (what is not mentioned as a goal) and the ordering (what is left at the end, what is more important than what).

You can’t expect such an exercise to be treated with transparency (#5. Lay off 20% more of those guys) as there’s just too much to lose by doing so.
On the other hand, those goals are subtle but clear enough for the top managers of the company to inspire themselves and define their own - more concrete - yearly ambitions.

And the lower you go in the org, the more concrete the goals (assuming there are any at all).
No yearly goal is worse to me than unclear ones, as it gives red flags of management not giving a shit and cruising.
>The same is true over a "real" API with one big difference: there's not a small set of syscalls to access the endpoints and read/write binary data to them.

What do you mean? Binder from Android uses just the ioctl syscall.

>because it has the smallest surface area.

I assure you the 1 syscalls for using binder (unless you count open and close of /dev/binder) is less syscalls than what it takes when everything is a file (read, write, ioctl, lseek, lstat, etc).

Do we know how fast those small meteorites are travelling when they hit the ground? Are they like bullets or more like snowflakes?

Just finished s1. I never really rewatch immediately, but I feel like I kind of need to for this show. There was so many small details I likely missed, but there were a ton I did notice that puts a spotlight on the attention to detail and storytelling they have.

But in the case of budget airlines you don't have to pay any extra fees if you can correctly manoeuvre around the website. As someone who can easily travel in a shoebox with just a backpack 99% of the time, I appreciate the fact I can save some money by foregoing extras I won't need. The only dastardly move they pull is when they use dark patterns to get technologically inept people to pay for extra stuff they don't need.

The funny thing about this though is that this is so easy to whatabout. Fraud is all over tradfi. I have a true story. The head of finance got phished. Ended up transferring money to some new bank account number they received on a friday. He called, when they opened, on Monday. The money was gone and the bank wouldn't do anything to return it. Call the police/feds they said.

I think the next step is to build trustless escrow services. I know that sounds weird, but we need some sort of insurance system that if fraud happens, we can get our money back. Programmable money makes that possible and that would be an improvement on what we have today.

Don't forget... how can credit cards afford to absorb the losses? Fees and penalties. Someone always has to pay.
I think something must have been lost in translation then, most Shanzhai phones were heavily modified and skinned featurephones, not smartphones.

The game is insanely popular right now, which is reason #1 its getting so much scrutiny.

The similarity is more blatant than any Pokemon-likes I've seen. By a large margin. It also has other meme worthy aspects (like the Pal-labor gun manufacturing thing) that Nintendo would absolutely not want to associate with the Pokemon brand.
I evaluate the quality of a goal using this criterion: if its opposite is nonsensical or foolish, it's not worthwhile. For example:

"Deliver the world's most advanced, safe, and responsible AI."

This is not a very aspiring goal that will distinguish you from your competition because why would anyone want to deliver the world's most outdated, unsafe and irresponsible AI?
Which is why animals at that scale develop techniques of very rapid flight instead of brute fight. That and poison. We would probably pour the resources into genetic engineering and biological warfare.

Interesting. Because I would equate that to light use, and expect the warranty to fix it. If an OS update is significant, what's medium and what's light?

I am sorry, but you vastly underestimate the problem. Just read the other comments and see how many corner cases are there. It took me 3 days to implement a crawler than says OK on 200, and ERROR on 404, and 6 months to deal with exceptions to the rule, and apparently thanks to the feedback Ive received, there are many other exceptions to deal with.

In theory exceptions can be easily found with static analysis. I suppose lack of such tools (and failure of code contracts which I think could've verified it statically) means that vast majority of people are happy with status quo.

Just an idea - maybe you can use CodeQL?

The transition to .NET core is indeed rather painful but it's just Microsoft's choice. Things were dropped/backwards compatibility broken mostly to simplify runtime but I saw nothing that couldn't have been emulated with some modest effort.

Also they could've easily softened the transition by continuing development of .NET Standard a bit longer and allowing side by side hosting of 4.x and Core in same process as that seemed to be the plan in the beginning. I guess they don't care.

which jumping spiders don't do
i strongly agree with the separation into two projects. that's the real advantage of frontend frameworks. for me backends are now only providing a REST or GraphQL API and no more HTML templating at all. the HTML stuff is done only in the frontend.

that also takes care of the problem of overlapping skills. sure, you need to learn a new framework, but really, it is not that big of a deal. if you have been creating complete websites from CSS/HTML to the backend, it really doesn't change that much. your CSS/HTML skills apply unchanged, and the only thing that is new is javascript itself and a new templating system.

the problem (as other commenters noted) stems from backend frameworks trying hard to avoid javascript. so they will try to do as much as they can in the backend, and i can imagine that throwing a full frontend framework into that is going to be challenging. i never tried it. as soon as i started using frontend frameworks 10 years ago, i was done with server side HTML generation.
It originates from the regions of the Roman Empire,

the Diocese of the East, aka

the Diocese of Oriens, aka

Dioecesis Orientis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diocese_of_the_East ;

by the time of Kipling and later Orwell during peak British Empire it referred to everything East of the then European "Western World" .. and so included India, Burma, et al.

It later contracted somewhat to mainly be used for South East Aisa (excluding India | Pakistan) and more recently been dropped to the floor and is out of favour (it was a ridiculously broad brush).

There are people who want both. That creates a market.
It would be neat if some of the money publishers are sucking up is instead given to the peer reviewers as compensation for their efforts. It is such an important facet of keeping published research to a minimum standard.

The fact that reviewers go mostly unpaid for their work seems like a major disincentive to spend extra time -- which is already spread thin trying to stay ahead on the publish or perish treadmill -- digging deep into papers that send up red flags.
