Okay, so what if m purpose is just to explain to the world how it works? Maybe I'm just interested in the precise semantics of CUDA and all its possibly undocumented edge cases? Maybe what people do with this knowledge is none of my business? Maybe if I write a Vulkan translation layer I only do this so I can run it on NVDIA hardware?

And maybe, just maybe, their clause is an overreach and unenforceable? Though at this point I'd rater seek legal advice from a registered attorney.
I think that knowing I had to make the night train or else sleep in the train station every single night would make me too nervous to enjoy the freedom of being able to visit all these places. You get to travel everywhere, but you'd better stay within a bus ride of the train station at all times. Not for me. That's me though, glad he's enjoying it so far.
I guess I should have phrased it as "chosen to own cars with seemingly terrible AC systems". Theromostatic controls are pretty cheap to implement, its not like you'd need some high-end extreme luxury car to have that feature be normal.

If the AC controls are on a touchscreen, chances are they're auto. If they're auto, you probably shouldn't have to mess with them at all while moving.

Criticism of Computer Game Journalism
> Facebook is not working

That’s very meta.
I am not a big fan of crypto either, but don’t understand why crypto (the technology itself) would be unethical.

Could you explain?
Well I also thought about it. However there is a difference. When I download Linux i know if it is outdated. I see date, i see version.

With windows, when I entered download site I did not know if it is missing anything, or not.

I installed windows 10 ISO, how should I know how outdated it is.

As Linux minut user I had no update problems whatever, even going from older releases. It did not take me 2 days.
Parkinson's Law: It's Real, So Use It

Invalidating people’s sessions on apps? That’s a HUGE cost. There’s a huge % of users that won’t be able to get back in.
Yes, confirmed from a few sources, they seem to be experiencing problems with their auth system across the board.
It's gonna hit a wall just by the nature of what it is have a massive crash and then we'll have to wait another 10 years for the next breakthrough
It sounds like you're simply using too much. Like Marmite, English mustard is best used in extreme moderation.

Component Testing with Safetest vs. Cypress vs. Webdriverio
Netflix’s recent launch of SafeTest, a component testing tool that gained rapid attention on social media, prompted a detailed comparison with Cypress and WebdriverIO, two known tools in the testing ecosystem.
For both companies? Or is the report of Google auth being down only tied to meta logins, and a misdiagnosis?
Well that is fair, and I think that is the entire concern with artificial super intelligence isn't it? That we can't predict what it would do.

If I could accurately predict what a superintelligence's goals would be I'd have a decent career advising AI companies on their alignment concerns :)

Just taking a swing at it with this ol' legacy wet brain because it's fun to think about. There's nothing to buy, it is an opinion. Heck, it's practically just an exercise in writing science fiction at this stage.

What do you think it would do?
Looks like their entire auth service is completely borked.

[EDIT] : and if it's a hack, by now half of the world has typed in their password to re-identify ... scary.
I thought someone hacked my account ...
It's kind of already there. When I search for "hardware computer without secureboot", the first two pages is "how to install w11 without TPM". We're not even talking about linux.
It's all in the article:

"He travels first class, sleeps on night trains, has breakfast in DB lounges and takes showers in public swimming pools and leisure centres, all using his unlimited annual railcard."

For washing your clothes there are plenty of laundromats in cities, for visiting the doctor or dentist, you make an appointment, and then plan your travels so that you are in the right city at the right time. It's really not that complicated.

With the Bahncard 100 he can also use the public transport in cities, so it's not like he's limited to walking distance of the train stations.

...also, his overall cost of living is apparently around 10k Euros a year. The unlimited train ticket is just 3/4 of that (7714 Euros).
What would take Google and Facebook auth down at the same time? Coordinated 0day patch?

Or is the report of Google auth being down actually tied only to meta logins?
kudos - great idea!

That's an advantage over linear models, but GBTs handle non linearly-separated data just fine. Each individual tree can represent an arbitrary piecewise-constant function given enough depth, and then each tree in turn tries to minimize the loss on the residual of the previous trees. As such, they're effectively like a neural network with two hidden layers in terms of expressiveness.

Naively, divide ad revenue by time to get a dollars-per-time.

But thats naive because ad serving isn’t totally sold out so they can make up for it by increasing the density of ads in the next time window. If the outage is short, then the impact is small.

But some markets are totally sold out and there’s no making up for lost impressions.

"Disingenuous"? Do you have to make this personal before looking for another explanation?

The parent comment I replied to said:

"Does A->B imply B->A?"

That "undirected" condition was already violated before I wrote anything.
Hypergraphs are awesome, and I wish they got more attention. They actually make intuitive sense in contexts like circuits and other hardware design problems. However, the last time I checked, all the Python and Rust Hypergraph libraries did not have support for directed edges (or it wasn't documented very well).

The "tersest route" problem seems to be interesting as I have never come across this before. It seems almost like a packing or covering problem.

Yes sure, this is true-ush. But if you're so constrained on power draw that three or four extra watt idle is critical, why not just go for something really power-efficient like a Pi or similar? Also, you could undervolt one of the 65W TDP Ryzen CPUs and probably get similar results. Or if you're lucky you can get one of the "OEM Only" 45W Ryzens.

As for PSUs, an "80 platinum" rated one will have 90% efficiency at 10% power draw.
> US citizens haven't been brainwashed into thinking that their government is their friend, at least not to the same extent as the EU.

> Honestly, if you talk to real people within the EU, you'll find that maybe half of them are mostly against the EU.

Are you sure these two claims aren't contradictory? Go on, give it a few minutes of thought.

---

Let us be perfectly clear here. People in the EU love to grumble about the EU, like every single human being everywhere loves to grumble about their government. Like all systems made of humans, the EU has big flaws, which everybody acknowledges, although they might not completely agree on what exact set of traits counts as flaws.

That does not mean the large majority of EU citizens seriously thinks the EU should be replaced with something else. Even less so now that the UK went and made itself a cautionary tale of what may happen when you try too hard to use said grumbling as a political tool to pursue your own selfish interests.
Those quotas are on a first come-first serve base.
Special bonus: today is Super Tuesday, which is when a large number of US states have their primary elections.
> They are not down. (They just don't work for lots of people!)

Seems about par for the course for big tech these days. There's currently an issue affecting the Google Ads API causing timeouts when sending data to it, but the Google Ads Status Summary page shows nothing [0]. However, there's an incident detail page showing some vague hand-wavy information about incidents [1], which appears to be unreachable from anywhere on the Summary page. Gah.

[0] https://ads.google.com/status/
[1] https://ads.google.com/status/publisher/incidents/gNG1ppoY3y...

p.s.: The actual incident details URLs are available in the "RSS feed" link very transiently and tend to disappear -- the feed, which incidentally for fun reasons, is actually an Atom feed.

This explanation doesn’t make sense to me. What do you mean by “linearize your data”—tree methods assume no linear form and are not even monotonically constrained. Classification is not done by plane-drawing but by probability estimation + cost function
Facebook is not working, but you wouldn't know it from this page, which says everything is working.

Everything that you just said is incorrect, at least in the USA, where the overwhelming majority of all E-AB aircraft are built and operated.

There are no airspeed restrictions on experimental amateur built aircraft, other than the 250kt limit under 10,000 feet that applies to all aircraft.

There is absolutely no restriction on engine power output for E-AB aircraft.

The only significant restriction for the second owner of an experimental amateur built aircraft is that they cannot get a repairman’s certificate for the aircraft. This means they will have to hire a licensed A&P mechanic to perform the annual condition inspection. Other than that they can still maintain or modify the aircraft exactly as the original builder could.

I refer you to FAA advisory circular AC 20-27G for further info.

They can't log in to update the status page about facebook login because they use facebook login for auth on the status page!

Joking aside, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case, because during their last major outage (something related to DNS iirc) they were having issues pushing fixes because they couldn't login because their DNS was down.

EDIT: seems like the status page was recently updated.
Yeah, same thing happened to me so will likely need to reset my password again once Facebook is up again.
I guess we all better do some work today then.
My prediction is that to be competitive, companies will eventually need to rely on AI-produced code to some extent or risk being slower and less efficient than competitors. It would be like not using email or messaging and only using snail mail for all written communication.

But AI is nowhere close to perfect now, and will have flaws for a long time. Having AI write code is like having a so-so junior engineer, who can complete the task, but makes mistakes, so needs their code reviewed closely. And is unable to architect anything complex, that still needs to be done by the leads/managers/senior folks.

So more and more of the simple, low complexity coding tasks will be done by AI, while the value of importance of senior engineers will be as high as ever, since they need to oversee the AI's outputs.

What I wonder is how junior engineers, who will be starting their careers out as more expensive or weaker coders to AI, will get the experience necessary to become the senior engineers that need to guide/review the AI's work?
For me it happened when my long-dormant messenger lighted up (for a perfectly valid reason, no surprise there) and made me go through those unbundling options presumably mandated by EU. Certainly a coincidence, but it does irrationally strengthen that satisfying feeling I get whenever I see the ad giant stumble.
Google OAuth Login Down?

Wow you are delusional. You've refused to acknowledge any of my points, authoritative sources, reasonable conjectures, etc. All while assuming this holier than thou snobbish attitude. I am only stopping because this conversation is unproductive, like arguing with a religious zealot, and not because my arguments are wrong. You're an obstinate cuck, repeating marketing lies and political propaganda, with delusious of grandeur. I am ashamed to have wasted my time talking to you because I should have known you were disingenuous from the second reply. Happy trolling, asshole.

> Mustard as a spice is one of the earliest on record, appearing in Sanskrit manuscripts around 3000 BCE

Citation needed.

Wikipedia [0] has this to say:

> Sanskrit generally connotes several Old Indo-Aryan language varieties. The most archaic of these is the Vedic Sanskrit found in the Rigveda, a collection of 1,028 hymns composed between 1500 BCE and 1200 BCE by Indo-Aryan tribes migrating east from what is today Afghanistan across northern Pakistan and into northwestern India.

I'm interested to know what this manuscript source is that's older than the Vedas.

It is the combination of lie flat seat and the very limited range and the overland restriction.

A six to three hour flight is not really worth the premium. At the same time no supersonic flight has the range to do transpacific where the time difference would be much greater.
You did buy a car without a dipstick, what do you expect? BMWs are fun to drive and are horrible too maintain. I remember helping someone because the radiator melted a reservoir tank, such a terrible design I never looked at another one!!

They should need forced to make dipsticks but the EU doesn't care when it's a European company. The EU is more anti American companies than actually caring.
A bit of a cherry-pick, no? You can’t just look at one bad thing that happened, you need to weigh the good and bad that comes with a particular policy stance.

Concretely in this case it seems quite relevant to include GDPR, which consumers seem pretty happy about, and which many Americans look enviously at while their data is slurped up without recourse by credit bureaus and data brokers.
That was my cue to check hacker news
Sounds like they messed up rotating their encryption key.
Well, floating point isn't deterministic in its rounding on a per-op scale. And doing tonnes and tonnes of floating point operations isn't going to help that. The only way to get deterministic floating point is to start tracking state at boot and not have a scheduler switch away and mess with FPU state while your program isn't in control.

You're right, you outright stated it, instead of implying it:

I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean. You just provided a link to a bbc article where the democrats draw a line.

I was logged out of all devices and told my password was incorrect. It looks identical to a hijacked account attack and was quite scary until I started seeing similar stories from others.
I didn't understand your comment. Why what?
Mali, a type of GPU used on mobile devices, not Mail. They made a typo.
Google’s oauth logins are timing out too.
And people much more versed on the law than you and I (I know you are a lawyer) believe it wasn’t made “up out of thin air”. You didn’t understand the point I made. Your opinion and whether or not abortion in the U.S. is a constitutional right is not objectively the correct one. Well meaning experts with more expertise than you disagree with your characterization.
I'm not a client of a private bank, but I have friends in the industry so i have a little bit of familiarity.

For <1,000,000, you would not be eligible for what is generally called "private banking". Usually, that's for 8 figures in liquid assets or more, although exceptions are made for people likely to be there in the next few years (e.g., non-liquid startup founder of a unicorn).

With a "private bank", you'll have access to financial experts well-versed in the tax consequences of your investments. They'll be familiar with trusts and other things like that. They might give you access to exclusive deals. And you'll have a phone number that you can call any time of day and speak to someone intelligent (at least compared to the person answering the phone at your local Chase branch). Most importantly, you'll have people who can make you customized deals. For example, when Jeff Bezos wants $500m to spend on a yacht but doesn't want to sell his Amazon shares, his bank will happily give him a loan on good terms for that. If you own a Picasso and want to get a cash loan with that as collateral, your banker will at least consider that request. For most people, the only asset they can borrow against is their home. But at the private banking level, they are more likely to consider other assets. They will at least humor the request to look into it.

What you are talking about is more of a "financial advisor". 1% is typical. If you are simply interested in investing in index funds and have the discipline to not touch your funds when the market has ups and downs, then you may not need/want one. But I would pose the question to a financial advisor and see what services they offer that might make the fee worthwhile for you. Typically, things like tax planning start to get more important when you cross the $10m mark and inheritance tax becomes a thing.

With regard to investing, an "all-world passive index tracker" may not be what you want. I'm not sure where you are located, but assuming it's the US, you might want to allocate a good amount of your money to US indices. The problem with all-world is that you are most likely not located "all over the world". You are most likely tied to the US and so you probably want assets closely tied to the US economy, which is where you will probably be spending most of your money.
I lament the fact error messages are rarely, if ever, displayed anymore. Just a generic message in its place, usually not even indicating whether it's a 'you' problem or a 'them' problem :(
real discussion happens in private spaces. everything on Twitter/Facebook/etc is performative. including my comment.
We are also seeing Google OAuth timing out and 500s.
That's my best guess. And for them to log out every user in the world makes me incredibly curious about what would have happened if they'd chosen a different course.
I wonder how the age at diagnosis affects your approach. I see people like this guy or Scott Hanselman going "science the sh*t out of this" and minmaxing their health, but AFAIK they were diagnosed as adults. I was 4 when I was diagnosed and even though I know I could do something to try to improve my results, my approach ends up just being intuition, winging it and trying to think about it as little as possible. I'm left wondering if I have internalized powerlessness over this matter.
The thing that bothers me about game interactions is that they are designed to provide quick and easy positive feedback loops, unlike most real-world skills. E.g., learning the piano requires a lot of difficult persistence with uncertain feedback along the way--it's an entirely different experience than playing a video game, and I worry that conditioning our brains with games makes it harder for us to develop the patience and resilience that are required to develop those kinds of skills.
