I wouldn't call it "The new cellphone towers" as if satellite service will replace ground based. Because it won't.

Starlink direct to cell will still cover huge areas per cell which is great for remote areas but not for high density like cities. It will not have strong enough signals to penetrate buildings. And it won't provide enough bandwidth for more than texts at least not for now.

It's an augmentation of the land based service, not a replacement.

No surprise at all i’d say - as Nilay Patel on the Verge review put it correctly:

> cameras are still cameras, and displays are still displays.

Anyone remotely familiar with the state of development in those areas would be aware that “even Apple” can’t cheat Reality (punintentionally).

Those left still raving about and/or hoping for a game changer will be greatly dissapointed - or only in it for the line go up.

The whole concept will be a niche product for many years to come and will stay an isolating experience.
N7, TSMC's competitor to Intel 7, does not use EUV either.
A billion years ago I had a Vaio TZ that had a glossy but still anti reflective screen. Used some kind of coating layers using the same principle as museum glass.

Whatever happened to that?
This was forever ago and it really worked pretty great, and I loved that machine so I used it a long time, and I can say I had no problem with the coating failing from wear or age either.

You could get a reflection if you tried hard enough, but you never had a problem seeing the screen contents even in a glare situation, and I'd think that would be the primary concern.

Apple came from recreational “there is now a 10 times cheaper CPU than anything else and I can afford to build my video terminal into real computer in my bedroom” and “maybe we can actually sell it?”. [1]

ARM literally came from “we need a much better and faster processor” and “how hard can this be?” [2]

You're right - this is another problem for Intel. They have a reputation for underpaying engineers, so the best and the brightest go elsewhere.
> I really miss Sun.

There's nothing in the world I miss so much as Sun.

I've done many startups post-Sun and there's been good highs and many lows but, there's nothing like a true hard-core tech company like Sun.

There basically are no tech companies anymore, other than Apple, but they are mass-market consumer oriented which is not interesting.
Fair point. I do think this can change the internet. Mobile phones, computers, and laptops, all were subject to privacy issues and doubts, but now they are an essential part of our lives. Also, any alternatives or competitors you came across?
It's only a deathtrap because driving in the USA you have to share a massive high speed interstate with 2.5 ton SUVs and pickups. With lower speed local driving (the type that would be enabled by more density), and without subsidizing monstrous american-style cars, I think these smaller EVs would be quite reasonable safety wise.
Smart Home Matter Standard Is Irrelevant to Home Assistant Users
I'd frankly far prefer people not to call isatty(), and require switches for machine-readable output. The kind of tools that "barf ANSI cruft" are usually the tools I want to do so even when I'm piping their output into something else. It's a real nuisance to e.g. deal with options to preserve colours through a pipe for every element. There might well be exceptions where I'd prefer to default to checking isatty(), but they are few.

If there was any remotely standard way of signaling the preferred default, and a remotely standard command line option to toggle that default, it'd make things a lot nicer, because I totally understand where you're coming from; I get equally annoyed just in the opposite scenarios, so the situation is a nuisance for both of us.

facepalm Thank you to correct me. Yes, I was asking sincerely!
Your comment got downvoted (probably because MAD as the only remaining option is strong hyperbole) but the core thrust is sensible.

Knowing that a CEO is not going to leave isn't the only relevant factor in discussing increasing CEO comp. Any decent manager understands this about their employees. You may be 100% confident that they won't quit if you don't give them a bonus and also be 100% confident that giving them a bonus (due to moral, motivation, evangelism, etc) is the best outcome for the company anyway.

Musk had other companies that were splitting his focus. Sure, without that 6% he'd still be CEO of Tesla. But would he have put more energy instead into SpaceX? Boring Company? Nerualink? OpenAI?

When your CEO has so many places to focus his attention, giving him more equity to remain the preferred child makes a lot of sense as a mutually beneficial agreement.

*Especially* when that increased compensation is directly tied to performance. And not a trivial outcome, but a serious outcome that brings hundreds of billions of dollars to shareholders.

snapshotted models don't really do this... But I agree, OpenAI is a seriously awful target for serious work. I've been pretty focused on a function calling mixtral funetuning dataset.

We have homologated Chinese EVs here in Europe. The actual reason that China does not export cars to the US is a 27.5% import tariff put in place by the Trump administration.

So to apply your solution, assuming there is such a product and it has zero negative impacts, we'd need first find an illegal mining operation with certainty and reach it with a lot of man power. Which is the bottleneck in enforcement in the first place.

But VR has been going on for a while now. I have a VR headset, I use it occasionally and I love it because it allows things that wouldn't be possible in any other platform. But strapping something on my face is not something I'd want to ever use as my main system. It's like a racing wheel, you use it for some games but it doesn't replace a controller so it's just a very niche product.

Same for me. Oxide is the only company I know that I'd really love to work for. Similar (I think, observing from the outside) to Sun. That's what I dream about.

Unfortunately their pay structure is such that I can't afford it, with a family to support. Maybe when the kid is out of university, if I don't need much income anymore, I can fulfill the dream.

From TFA:

"Tesla shareholder Richard Tornetta filed the lawsuit five years ago, ..."

So the shareholder condidered it unfair from the beginning, it just took this long to get a judge to agree.

"... accusing the company’s chief executive of improperly dictating negotiations around the compensation package and claimed that the board acted without independence."

If Musk is promising the moon to himself, that would indeed seem a bit unfair.

"Tornetta’s lawyers argued the Tesla board never told shareholders that the goals were easier to achieve than the company was acknowledging and that internal projections showed Musk was quickly going to qualify for large portions of the pay package."

Especially if he did expect to hit all the targets and just wanted to collect some easy money on the way.

> Let's say you invested in Tesla for your pension and you see that the board give Must 3.5 years of company profits as bonus, nullifying any company profit for that time:

That’s irrelevant and wrong. First, they don’t give profits, they were options grants for equity which dilutes shareholders. Second, profits aren’t divided amongst shareholders because they don’t pay dividends.

Your pension got a 10x gain from this agreement if it was invested and voted for it. Now the agreement is being withdrawn but your pension will keep the 10x. If you can’t see how that can be seen as unfair, I don’t know what to tell you.

Musk led the company through a moonshot goal and the argument is “eh, we said we would give you a huge bonus for doing this but you’re already invested”. It’s not meaningfully different from taking away a software engineer’s options because they have a bunch of vested stock because “they already have skin in the game”.

The conflict of interest is the only thing with merit. The fairness arguments are complete bullshit and will set a terrible precedent on their own.

RAM, disk. Functions are often written in high level JITd languages, they may need to load large reference datasets from disk, they may require a lot of code to be transferred over the network before they can begin running, and because nobody trusts the security of the Linux kernel you also have to pay the VM startup time.

An idle process on Linux isn't much different: it consumes RAM, disk and a kernel. If you trust the software you're running enough you can amortize the kernel cost but the others remain.

Those look great! But they aren't the same, though I should say those are better than what seems to be out there today.

I left something out of my description above. It is complete regarding the blinking behavior. But, there is a pattern of tree limb shadows on the ceiling! And light colored walls which really makes for the best experience.

Notice how the panels Big Clive showed us have a steady rolling pattern? The incandescent lights are not that way.

Because each one works off an imprecise thermal spring, the blinking can range from a mostly on, going off for a short while, with short while being a couple seconds, to almost the opposite! That would be mostly off, illuminated for a short while.

Because the variation is so broad, the blinking pattern tends to jump around. One might see 5 lights change in close proximity, then half the tree, with parts coming back on in chunks, to another couple regions blinking off then on rapidly before the whole thing seems lit for a brief time.

The big Clive units have all LED's blinking close to the same cycle.

His varies mostly in the phase. What I describe varies mostly in the period. Some bulbs blink fast while others are much slower.

it's funny how older countries are sometimes ahead of some trends. Here in France we can ignore some local height limits to install solar pannels, it's now forbidden (in the genreal case) to toss your rainwater to the street, you have to get in back in the ground on the area it was collected, etc.
But it's true that being an old country they did not really trash everything for the car, so we are not too much left with the very wide scar of a highway cutting through a downtown.

And it's one of the first things I'll add to the lib/framework/tools/utils if it doesn't exist: a mechanism to mark code deprecated. It should require a description, the item that should be called instead, and optionally a URL and optionally a time/version after which it will be considered an error instead of a warning.

The deprecation should be configurable (through ENV vars, e.g. DEPRECATIONS=fail|warn) so that I can run a test-suite or some local dev env and have it blow up when it hits a deprecation. Useful for when working on them and to raise awareness.

Such a method/macro/function/annotation isn't that hard in most languages: just a proxy calling the deprecated method with the arguments passed in and then formatting a message and logging or raising that.
What people actually seem to want is the ability to use the planning system to veto their neighbours having children.

Actually these GNU tools are relatively simple, compared to the code we usually write as a C/C++ software engineer at daily work. For example, if you have a function that takes just one single protobuf object, Klee cannot help you. Because the input space is too large. Klee can only operate at unit test level, with special crafted code. It did a good job on GNU textutils because the inputs of the each tool are relatively independent, and most inputs are just boolean flags that are either true or false.
Also, please be aware that klee cannot provide any kind of assurance. Normally it cannot give you a proof saying your code is 100% safe, because most code are too complex to reach that. I'm saying while it usually tries to find all the execution paths of your code and execute them symbolically, usually it is not possible to finish executing all the paths.
Though Klee can support C++, you will find fuzzing C programs is much easier than C++, because C++ data structures are way more complicated. Like, a C-style string vs a C++ std::string. A C array vs a std::vector. So, in order to get a broader usage of Klee, we need to rewrite our code in a simpler way.

Intel had purchased/gotten StrongARM from DEC.

DEC had started developing ARM chips as they concluded it was a bad idea to try and scale down their alpha chips to be more energy efficient.

Then, after the success of these ARM chips in the blackberry and most of the palm PDAs as well as MP3 players and HTC smartphones, Intel sells it off, so it could focus on trying to make its big chips more energy efficient, making the mistake DEC avoided.

iPhone was a defining moment, but at the time it was completely obvious that smartphones would be a thing, it's just that people thought that the breakthrough product would come from Nokia or Sony-Ericsson (who were using ARM SoCs from TI and Quallcomm respectively). Selling off the ARM division would not have been my priority?

So it's a string of unforced errors. Nevertheless, Intel remains an ARM licensee, they didn't give that up when selling StrongARM, so it seems some people still saw the future..
:facepalm: I thought they were all names of alternative source control projects, didn't realise the first one was the name of the collaboration effort.

As a European, you have several options. H1, O1, L1, etc. are all fine.
