For starters, there's ARM and STMicroelectronics. Then all the classical household-name businesses like SAAB, Phillips, Nokia, Siemens et. al. However, there's also more recent "SF-style" startups like Spotify, TransferWise and Klarna. Take your pick?

In general you'd deal with it by blocking where possible, and where not possible, prioritising comment threads by engagement. Twitter's special sauce for the bots is its pay-for-attention model; note that all the bots in the article are blueticks, and thus get promoted to the top of the replies. This makes it a far softer target than a normal social network, where uninteresting bot comments would generally end up deprioritised due to lack of interest.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_nm_process

> The phrase "7 nm" does not refer to any dimension on the integrated circuits, and has no relation to gate length, metal pitch, or gate pitch; since at least 1997, "node" has become a commercial name for marketing purposes that indicates new generations of process technologies, without any relation to physical properties. However, the smallest dimension within an individual transistor, the fin width, can sometimes be 7 nm. TSMC and Samsung's "10 nm" (10 LPE) processes are somewhere between Intel's "14 nm" and "10 nm" processes in transistor density.

I went through the old save files and it was dead. I know where they were located. I found the same manuals and the same walkthroughs.

My game files were trashed. Restoring the different saves did nothing.

I promise you, I know how to restore saved files and follow instructions on how to do as such.

The emulators we easy to use. beautiful. responsive. After TOTK, the energy behind them had them getting constantly updated and was a good experience.

Until it wasn't.

Restarted TOTK on my Switch. I had bought it because I support games that are worth it even if I emulate them. I've got a Powkiddy RGB10 where I also emulate games. I've got a plex server where I host my own library.

When I, a random person on the internet you can believe or not believe, say that my emulator died and I lost weeks of progress on my game? I lost weeks of progress on my game. I can't remember which I was using (I switched between them at one point because one was faster/better but I can't remember which one it was)

Watching Rocky run up the stairs every day might well be boring for long stretches, especially to people not used to looking closely and patiently at the world, but that's fine. It would elevate the movie into something fundamentally better than what it is. A movie need not be entertaining to be good; in trying to be entertaining, it often makes itself worse, and worse, makes its viewers worse.
> After those 54 planet 1 orbits, all planets are in the same position.

Could you please explain what you mean by this, as to my layman's ears that sounds like either a confusingly-worded sentence, or an impossibility (multiple planets in the same location at the same time). Do they just all pass through one specific same location once per orbit but at different times? Or something else I'm not imagining?
THAT is a great idea! Would one of those leave blowers work? Ideally a battery powered one?
"The four charges against Wingenroth stemmed from a December sting operation by the Pennsylvania Game Commission in which an officer called Wingenroth pretending to be a hunter who had wounded a deer and needed help recovering it."

"Entrapment is a complete defense to a criminal charge, on the theory that 'Government agents may not originate a criminal design, implant in an innocent person's mind the disposition to commit a criminal act, and then induce commission of the crime so that the Government may prosecute.'" - Justice.gov

The only way this doesn't look like entrapment to me is if the agent called the man and said, "Hey I wounded a deer, can you help?" and the man replied, "I'll use my drone!" Even then, I seriously wonder how this doesn't stray into the territory of implanting the disposition to commit said crime.
"Help, I'm hungry. Will you rob that store?"

Good, humane results don't make the acts legal.

I find it challenging to take this guy seriously. In this particular video, he first claims to have extensive experience writing Ruby code, yet he seems to struggle with understanding a basic Rails CRUD example. I even checked his GitHub profile for past noteworthy contributions but was again disappointed. Is my critique too harsh, or is he just not accurately representing his expertise? Also did you know he used to work at twitch? I am sure but he may have mentioned it before.
During this energy transition phase more emphasis should be on PHEVs since

1. We have the infrastructure to build PHEVs faster than EVs. Since they are mostly modifications of current vehicles.

2. With the same amount of battery material to make 1 EV we can make ~10 PHEVs and adding that to the fact that most people drive less than 40 miles per day, the effective electric range of a typical PHEV, you are utilizing the battery supply at a much higher level.

I think the current incentives and tax breaks that favor high end luxury EVs have been a mistake. If you can afford a Tesla Model S or a Rivian you don't need a tax incentive to buy it!

I think the windows linux analogy is pretty apt. especially around the win95/98 days.

Getting some random laptop and figuring out what kernel mods to enable and hope that the specific chipset revision was supported, or maybe a patch available that might work was, in fact, a lot of bullshit to put up with to get, say, sound.

sympy will do a lot. but you're probably going to have to reach for a big book of integrals, or find a friendly mathematician to identify the equation and possible approaches. Mathematica as a paid product has a lot of time and effort spent avoiding resorting to asking for help. Much much more built in.

As an undergrad or a hobbyist you probably want to stay "lower" and slog through the calculations when you're stuck. This is part of the process of understanding. But as a professional, or a more advanced user, screwing around for a week looking for a solution is a waste of time and expertise. Spring the cash, and move forward immediately.

I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, but I think there is some nuance that this maybe helps people understand your point.

"Better" really really depends on where you are and what you're trying to do.
If you bend over and pay in such circumstances, you are part of the problem. Twilio tried to pull this crap on me and I simply created another account with an email forwarder and left them holding the bag on the previous account
That's exactly what is happening. But it is also not enough for the airplane to fly.

In a normally flying airplane, the wing compresses and pushes an amount of air under its wing. But there is actually even greater amount of air sucked down by the region of underpressure created above the wing and by the laminar flow directing it downward. Here, the drawing at the top of the page makes it clear: http://www.amasci.com/wing/airfoil.html

When you have a stall condition, what happens is that the air below the wing is still being compressed and directed downwards, but the air above the wing becomes turbulent and "unsticks" from the surface of the wing. Rather than being nicely directed downward, it just dissipates a lot of energy in turbulent motion that is not directed in any particular direction.

This turbulent air not only ceases to provide lift, it also prevents the air from below the wing to be directed downwards efficiently.

The main job of an airfoil isn't to create a pressure difference, it is to create conditions for the air to be laminar at as wide range of speeds and angles of attack as possible to make the plane nicely behaving and possible to takeoff and land. It is super critical for landing as you need to have higher the angle of attack the slower you fly and all planes essentially are driven as close to stall as possible during landing. Similar happens at high altitudes and high speeds, but for a bit different reason (read up on "coffin corner" if you are interested in that sort of thing).
The MBA idea is correct in this case. Intel had the board and leadership that led it to ambitious process without enough urgency or resources, or ability to course correct quickly enough.

The most important question must be discussed at C-suite. Intel didn't have have enough people there to make decisions.

> Engineering based businesses have to manage both the engineering and the business side. Failing to do that means disaster.

Top engineers can learn to manage business at the highest levels. Business leaders can't learn enough engineering to manage engineering companies.
It's not about that.

Open Source is more like a designation. It is an agreed upon set of requirements that, if you change a requirement, it is something else. This is important.

Some things have legally protected designations such as 'ice cream'. Ice Cream has specific meaning in industry and even a grading system. If someone wants to make a cheaper product than the lowest grade of ice cream, they can't call it ice cream, they have to call it something like: frozen dairy dessert.

This makes it easy for people understand what they are actually getting and paying for.

I wouldn't get indignant about mandating english language definitions. I would be indignant that ai companies are not fulfilling the requirements to call it open source and are providing a cheaper product than the abilities that an actual open source model would provide.

> regardless of the cost or harm to others

Interesting choice of words. As I understand it, and I do not have the
judgement transcript, in the British Post Office case those were the
words on which Judge Fraser acquitted the postmasters and found
against the Post Office.

I think the key words may have been "above all else" with respect to
the "interests of the Post Office".

You don't get to say that. Ever.

In law, at least in Britain as I can see it, you don't get to put
reputation or profit or anything else "above all else" or "regardless
of the cost or harm to others". YMMV elsewhere.
Ah, sucks when this happens, doesn't it?
I was thinking just the other day that a recognisable 'AI Free' badge on sites that want to assure people that none of their content is AI generated could gain a lot of traction.
It's a positive in my view, sorting by characters actually yields a difference between what is a directory and isn't.
> Pointing at "inspiration sites" and just rewording their content

Sounds like Reddit, minus the AI part. Any time someone might be on the verge of an original thought there it gets shot down with something akin to "[citation needed]", followed by strong social pressure for the user to stop participating if they can't manage just rewording "inspiration sites".

What's special about AI here?

Each time I see a comment like this I wonder who declared the open source initiative the single authority on this. I agree with the comment but this really rubs me the wrong way.
If it's possible for an employee to unintentionally make the same mistake twice, that's purely management's failure. It's impossible to make systems completely fool proof, but once you know of a specific deficiency in your process you fix it. If you've corrected the issue, it should take deliberate effort for someone to do it again. An organization that knows its processes are deficient but makes no changes and expects a different result is insane.
And for now, I'm sure it's still great. However, I personally believe it's in keep-the-lights-on maintenance mode. If you like it today, great. I wouldn't have faith in any public roadmap though.
In that case, the onus here is on the private companies supplying these data.
Sure, but as long as they have a staff of a dozen people monitoring the transactions so that they can catch and fix/block/revert the occasional fraud it still works out cheaper than hiring and maintaining those 700 call center workers. Each case helps build a library of business rules.

Eventually you would have guardrails programmed into a separate system where the LLM simply doesn't have the permissions needed to perform actions not permitted by the business rules.

It is the same idea as behind the self checkout counter at stores. Sure you lose a little in shoplifting/fraud, but it might still work out to cost less over all.
Most of ASML's technology was developed at ASML. Yes, not all, and there are US patents. But there was an insane amount of work they did in making it reality (together with Zeiss).
> If one country has been saying for nearly 2 decades that if another country joins NATO it means war, and then that country ratifies their constitution to seek NATO membership, and then a war happens, is it really that surprising?

I don't recall any direct threats of war. In fact, in the first few years of the war, Russia denied that their soldiers were even in Ukraine. They tried to portray the war as a civil conflict within Ukraine.

As to indirect threats and vague hints of total annihilation, Russia has been threatening everyone in Eastern Europe over everything they don't like; from EU and NATO to insignificant things like parking fines that their diplomats have been raking up, and this bullshit has been going on straight from USSR's collapse in early 1990s. Russia's permanent unwillingness to offer peaceful and mutually respectful relations is a key driver behind Eastern Europe seeking closer relations with Western Europe. Handing national sovereignty to Russia over threats is not a serious option.

Ukraine's mistake is not that they seeked NATO membership, but that they underestimated the Russian threat and didn't hurry with EU and NATO integration like other countries did.
If they have that level of control, they could simply arrange for planets to smash each other to bits and reform as a Dyson sphere.

It's a standardised "process" sizing established by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors. Originally they did correspond to actual feature sizes but since around 1997, they no longer correlate to actual sizes and are more just a marketing term that matches the same naming scheme as previously.

Occassionally a given process will correspond to actual sizes but it's more out of luck than anything else.
Adversarial interoperability is at risk should the circumvention argument be entertained by the court. Don't want a competitor making something compatible even though they are legally allowed? Just protect it with "effective" measures and they aren't allowed to even try to be compatible?

The Switches system1-6 crypto schemes weren't terribly good. system5 even weakend it drammatically and trapdoored them into being permenently weaker. Problem is what constitutes an "effective" anti-circumvention according to the DMCA is not defined.

First time reading about these 3 rules. Maybe not actually, but must have forgotten
You are misunderstanding entrapment the way people always misunderstand it. If you offer a service (on the low) to do something illegal, and law enforcement calls you pretending to be a legitimate user of your service, that is not entrapment.

Entrapment is when law enforcement coerces you into taking an illegal action that you otherwise would not have taken. I.E. A federal agent telling you that if you don't walk into that bank and rob it, they will arrest you for (a planted) firearms possession.

This case is about whether the defendants actions actually were illegal, because PA law seems ambiguous about it.
Inf is not incorrect.

Division by the two almost zero numbers will also give "unexpected" results, if inf is unexpected.

Retrospectively it was a big mistake for Intel not to go into the GPU business when they were still leaders in microchip design.
I've had nearly flawless Bluetooth support across several different car brands and devices in my cars for well over a decade. Pair it once, and it just works all day every day. I truly don't understand people saying Bluetooth is unreliable, I've personally never experienced it and I use Bluetooth across several different devices every day.

Even now, my phone's Bluetooth is my key to the car. I don't normally carry any other key.

I have seen three total solar eclipses and some partial ones.

Before every one of these total eclipses the weather was either overcast or had been raining beforehand and there was much angst amongst us onlookers that we'd miss it. But we didn't, the clouds parted and each one was a magnificent and awe-inspiring spectacle.

Not only did the clouds part but it got noticeably cold.
Heh. Yes and yes and in general I like to see the guts and be free to easily fiddle with them. The Mac way is the software equivalent of how you can't open their hardware easily, which I also loathe. To me a love of Apple is one of the surest signs that a person is not a real hacker/programmer but is just in this industry for the $. "I just want to get shit done" ...no you just want to make money. There are exceptions but they are rare.
Copyright has absolutely not "failed".

Copyright is still deeply important to prevent behemoths from just straight-up taking stuff individuals wrote and profiting from it with no consequences.

For instance, without copyright, traditional publishers could just take everything the authors they currently contract with have written, and every other current author, and publish it without paying the authors a cent.

ML training is a legal gray area right now, because it's a new thing, and we haven't had time to properly sit down and both understand what its effects are, and how it should be treated legally. It is possible that this process, when it ends up happening, will be captured by corruption; it is possible that it won't. But using the current frustrations and anger about ML training as evidence that copyright has "failed" is a vast oversimplification that ignores the very real good that copyright does in our society.
I think this is something the courts will have to decide. This guy has the possibility of setting some precedent here.

In practical terms, if you assume that the internet backbone at the ISP's peering node is not saturated, you can also assume that the latency from the peering node to your destination is constant.

Uh, did the court order you to administer e-mail in perpetuity? Sounds like it's high time to put your foot down.
That's why "accepted answer" isn't supposed to be treated as "best answer", but just "answer that helped the asker" (and, yeah, often it's the blind leading the blind).

IIRC they recently changed the default sorting of answers to not always put the accepted one first to try to help with that common misconception.
If you’ve read them before, surely you can bring some counter-arguments which are not a simple ad hominem?

If you insist on dismissing arguments outright from persons whom you do not consider authoritative, consider Geoff Huston, a person you referred to before: <https://www.potaroo.net/ispcol/2023-02/dnssec.html>.
It's not as if we're in danger of running out of useful things we could work on, instead of yet another change in timekeeping systems.
That's not what entrapment is. In practice, entrapment is when you goad/harass/coerce someone into committing a crime they wouldn't otherwise commit. Asking nicely for a strangers help to commit a crime does not constitute entrapment.
This guy's whole corpus reminds me of Nevil Shute's _Trustee from the Toolroom_: quiet, fastidious, and expert work appreciated worldwide.
