That should be vmulq_lane_f32(), but yeah, lane broadcast is free on a number of NEON operations. Many operations also have built-in narrowing, widening, saturation, and rounding. One of the more ridiculous ones is vqrdmlah_lane_s16(), which translates to: signed saturating rounding doubling multiply accumulate returning high half (with a lane broadcast).

The downside is that the latencies can be a bit high sometimes compared to other CPUs. 128-bit vector integer adds, for instance, have 2c latency even on an Apple M1.

Another thing to watch out for is that some NEON guides are outdated and only tell you about ARMv7 features, missing some goodies added in ARMv8 like horizontal operations (vaddv) and rounding on conversions other than truncate.

What age is the 80 hour slogger? The younger you are then the likelihood is that you're willing to work to burn out either because you don't know any better or you don't have a life outside work. Older folk who have been there, done that, know that $CORP is there to suck the life out of you before tossing you aside. That's why $CORP love new college grads and hate more experienced folk who call them out.
Giving someone an offer when their existing contract is running out isn't that shady. Lots of companies ask for that. It shouldn't be hard to rationalize!
Using SMS makes PERFECT SENSE for the online service provider.

The following are very similar but separate goals:

1. proof of account ownership (person attempting action has ownership of account)

2. limiting accounts created by non-legitimate users

SMS is a very effective for (2) because few people are going to have access to 100 different phone numbers. Having a cell phone number also typically involves a personal process that requires things like your address, passport, SSN, etc. There are hoops to jump through for this. Companies rely on SMS because they can outsource the KYC process to cell phone companies. They are not doing this to have the most optimal or secure solution for proof of account ownership.

People who continue to complain about this clearly has never had to make this type of auth decision for a company involved in regulated or financial services.
It’s gotta be the in-feed Threads carousels in Instagram, I have to give Meta credit, that’s a great way to get people into the threads app. I’m also finding more of the people I liked from Twitter on Threads now. It’s nice to have that corner of the internet back again.
I still chuckle when companies like Facebook change their name to something else. They're kidding themselves.
This. They were basically Uber attached to a single pizza restaurant. A great investment for a manager. Not so good long-term for the employees. Good thing there's a lot of turnover!
Okay here is a feature that I'd like to see.

This has a VS Code extension, but I don't use VS Code, I like to use other editors like Kate.

Having a LSP Server and xml for syntax would be a great feature.
Your point is completely orthogonal to account takeover. You can require a phone number to create an account and not allow SMS to the number to takeover the account.
Sure, agreed, but until that changes stop using SMS for 2fa systems.
I suspect it might be easier and less open to litigation to have robots make the food. Or manage the restaurants.

In the most extreme case a small tornado in a larger storm that hits no man-built structures may go totally unrecorded.

Essentially if you assess tornado risk as something like (frequency * severity) / area, this will under assess risk to a previously developed area that is now being developed. Before there was nothing to hit. Now there is.
Or he just paid attention to it: "It’s not yet known whether obelisks affect human health, says Matthew Sullivan, an integrative biologist at Ohio State University, but they could alter the genetic activity of their bacterial hosts, which in turn could affect human genes."

And of course, even if there wasn't an explicit reference to that question, wondering how those new entities might affect our health is 100% compatible with the article.

Back when Facebook games were really popular (Farmville and Bejeweled Blitz come to mind), Facebook was infamous for making breaking changes constantly.

> But everyone is following the runbook as if they were the successful 1% (not even the successful 5%, they all act as if they are the top 1%)

I think it's because that's what makes sense from the VC's perspective. To the VC each startup is a lottery ticket with a low probability of an outsized success and a high probability of failure.

You can burn the startup as hard as you can, because the cost is primarily borne by the startup and the founders. If the startup fails it doesn't matter much to the investor because the portfolio is constructed to be resilient to a large number of failures.

What the OP is getting at is: if you look at this from the startup/founder's perspective isn't that kind of a huge waste? And yeah, it is. But I think the idea is that startups and founders aren't pets, they're cattle.

What API takes a photograph and tells you whether the person who gave it to you is in physical possession of the ID document depicted on it?

This flow was designed, and only works, for branch-based KYC: The bank employee physically looks at the ID, makes sure it's you, examines the many physically hard-to-forge elements on the card, and then queries an API that tells them whether the same ID was ever issued with that data on it (name and photo).

Bringing that flow online in the age of GANs is an absurd concept, right up there with using a short, unchangeable numeric personal identifier as a bearer token for authentication. The fact that financial institutions in some countries actually do both doesn't make it any less absurd.
Oh, I tickled some nerves there judging by the downvotes.

Rather than sequencing, I think it would be better to develop a standardized platform for a wide range of microscopy, but nothing really ambitious. Each new feature you add increases the build challenge. For example, I've built a straightforward transmitted light microscope with automated XY stage and Z focus, with cheap electronics; changing from transmitted to fluorescence would require a great deal of additional components, complexity, and need for precision and accuracy in the design and the build. Adding a "growth chamber" around the scope would as well. Any sort of super-resolution, autofocus, extremely fine movements, etc, are pretty much off the table for a simple build.

Ideally you could draft off of the work done for openbuilds, which is mainly focused on printers, lasers, and CNC machines.

(there are several projects that attempt this; openflexure is an example, but every time I work with their design, I go back to leadscrews with NEMA steppers and linear rail.)

There's a lot more biology than just sequencing DNA. transmitted light microscopy of cells is remarkably useful if you can do it cheap.
Practical fusion reactors are about 20 years away - the same as they have been for the last 70 years.
Strapping something that needs to press against your face is a nonstarter for anyone that cares about hair and makeup. This will never iterate into something mainstream. I said it up page, but this is the DynaTAK(+), not even the StarTAK, and a DynaTAK+ cannot go mainstream or evolve into something mainstream. We require new technologies to take these HMDs from DynaTAK to StarTAK and that's when I expect people will start to care but it won't be until the tech lets us go from DynaTAK to StarTAK to (original) iPhone. Then it will be minimally sufficient to show people the possible future and then adoption will get out of the single digit millions into the double digit millions and have a path to hundreds of millions or billions. But that day is not this day.
Thank you - as someone with a bit of disability and facing future hip surgery, that's a helpful perspective. You're not far off on my age; I actually aged off my parents insurance right around the time the ACA passed and so I was able to get back on because of that law which extended parental coverage until 26. I'm currently quite happy with most aspects of my employment which includes my health insurance, but that situation never seems to last.

> True random number are slow. Fast PRNG are prone to collision.

Not in this decade. You can slam out a million securely random 128 bit numbers per second per core. For numbers you will store, the effort to store them is orders of magnitude greater than the effort to generate securely.
Appropedia – Much more than an appropriate technology wiki
I spent some time as an undergrad working for Dr. Joshua M. Pearce in his "Michigan Tech's Open Sustainability Technology (MOST) Lab", where I was engrossed in the world of open-source (hardware and software) and using it for the betterment of research, the world, etc. We would publish loads of stuff we built on Appropedia. There is really quite a lot of neat stuff on that wiki, and since I was reminded of it the other day I thought I would share!
Cautiously optimistic about bacteria being able to metabolize plastic at scale in my lifetime. Would be interesting if they are able to do so in the environment, no idea what the implications would be if most plastics suddenly gained a shelf life like natural materials.

A good idea in principle, but that only works in countries where the majority of citizens trust their government with important and difficult tasks like that.

This does seem to be the responsible thing to do if you're in charge of setting strategy and your strategy falls flat on its face. Few, if any, firings, and those responsible actually take responsibility. Does anyone have any first hand experience with this?

Before this new wave of SMS trash, we just had TOTP codes

SMS 2FA predates cell phones. First SMS 2FA was AT&T in 1996 using pagers.

The first draft of the RFC for TOTP was written in 2008. Google Authenticator came out in 2010.
> You are looking at a too short of a time frame.

Wage growth has lagged behind inflation and cost of living since the 70's. There have been multiple job market crashes in my lifetime; I entered the workforce in the middle of the 2008 recession. There have been multiple layoff waves since COVID alone, during each of which companies would lay off significant fractions of their workforce despite making record profits for no discernible reason other than "well everyone else is doing it so we'll do it, too". How much longer of a time frame do you expect me to examine?

> Expecting a system to be getting strictly better every second of every day is utopian.

Employers have been increasingly shafting their employees for decades. I expect a system to not spend multiple decades getting worse.

My last two jobs were as a cloud infrastructure engineer. If even cloud computing is a "legacy industry" then the vast majority of the users on this website are utterly screwed.

No there's no announcements yet for #3. But if you look around their code you'll find wasm files for spellchecking/proofing and associated models for select few languages.

Combined with the fact that google docs support proofing for those languages offline, it's easy to guess how they achieved it.

If you aren't even trying, that's why should you be counted towards unemployment? The only reason I can think of is the naive thinking that "unemployment = 100% - employment", which anyone who does a cursory search will find out is wrong. Accusing the statistic as "fake", implying that there's some sort of deception going on when the explanation is readily available makes as much sense as accusing 2x4s as being "fake" because they don't measure 2 inches by 4 inches.
What are all those people doing? Because I sure don't see that kind of activity in the engagement metrics. Very few posts get thousands of likes, most languish in the double digits.

It’s amazing how RNA pops up everywhere we look. As our tools get better and better we find simpler and simpler RNA based things floating around, apparently being replicated by some chemical or biological processes.

It’s hard to see the trillions of other planets in the known universe along with its age and apparently limited chemistry and not imagine how similar RNAs should’ve have popped up over and over again.
Project ended up saving 10x that per year, so wasn't a huge deal. Quickly rewrote it to run as a traditional server, though.
You're misinterpreting it. It's not a descriptive title at all. It's a tempo indication and like all such is meant as an instruction to the player, also being a play on "as fast as possible" which is a perfectly legitimate tempo marking. Referring to a piece of music by its tempo marking is common.
When talking about how efficient a given reaction mass engine, such as a rocket, can be the unit is specific impulse in seconds. That unit represents how long a given engine carrying a given propellant can maintain 1g acceleration.

For context, the most powerful chemical rockets peak around 450s-530s. A nuclear rocket of the sort we can build today would be more than twice that value, and super-efficient ion thrusters can have IspS in the tens of thousands of seconds.

But we're talking about an engine with a specific impulse measured in decades, and as far as anyone knows that means having catastrophic amounts of antimatter. I don't think plucky explorers on a one-way trip are going to have access to a small moon's worth of antimatter, and if they did, imagine how many more interesting things they could do with it than fly to nowhere?

Glad you're open to feedback.

I don't know if your regulator response was directed at me or someone else, but using that as an example, if you take something like an LM7805/LM317 I think the 'parameterization' you're talking about (i.e. "input_voltage=12V", "output_voltage=3.3V", "accuracy=5%" --> let "tool" solve for resistors, and populate schematics/BOM) sounds cool and would work.

But what if it's something like this (a multi-phase step-down converter):

https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data...

While it's "annoying" that a designer might have to go study a datasheet to know which resistors to tweak or change what's worse is having a tool or 'abstraction' do it for you, with the potential that it changes significantly underneath you and you don't even know what it did or why.

This is the bane of a lot of EDA tools and more specifically why people rightfully now loathe a lot of FPGA vendor's tools that have things like "abstract IP blocks" configured from the GUI but in each new release of the tool, the underlying "generated" RTL (which comes from some byzantine invokation of scripts and a soup of options) might be different and completely breaks people's designs.

What happens if it's not re-programmable like an FPGA but something physical with resistors, capacitors and traces on a circuit board?
This comment should be flagged for medical misinformation.
Okay here is a wish list:

Chip fan out modules. A repo of all popular chips with traces to pins fanned out and variations (Chip XXXX, Fanout A, Fanout B, Fanout C, Compact Fanout D etc) Ideally the fanout modules should have required decoupling caps etc placed compactly).

Accommodate provision for chips such as i.MX 6ULL, the have so many pins that writing connection code would be daunting, maybe have pin groups and groups wired to groups syntax.

Provisions for chips where pins can be configured.

A repo of supporting circuits/modules like clock, clock distribution, PMIC / Power modules etc.

A CPU for example module should come with a list of compatible auxiliary modules such as a suitable PMIC/Power module.

The user will have to wire the relevant pin groups from module to module.
This story sounds fairly made-up. I have worked in quant hedge funds before, and being let go 2 days after algos start trading just doesn't sound right, unless there was absolute cause that had nothing related to performance.
Slightly better resolution but a narrower FOV and worse reflections is not going to turn any HMD from a single digit millions user device into a hundreds of millions of users device. This entire approach is, I think, an evolutionary dead end. People who care about their faces and hair aren't going to strap a 1.5 lb dorkbox to their faces. And no, making it a 1 lb or even an 0.5 lb dorkbox isn't going to fix things if you still have to mash it to your face. People like their faces and won't agree to have their faces look silly for little appreciable gain over a phone and/or laptop.

Yeah as much as I love the graphic design of VFR sectionals, I have to admit it’s an end of an era of sorts. ForeFlight etc. with proper backup devices have the entire database at your fingerprints at all times. And it’s a good thing, anything that makes GA easier/safer is a welcome change.
