Putting the fork down really does seem to be hard for some people. Their brain goes into a total panic response without the food. They genuinely experience missing a meal as a lifethretening situation, not just for themselves, but also for their kids and even pets.

Compare it to people with vertigo. Get a grip and just stand on the edge, while technically correct, will not solve the problem.

If someone would discover a strong gut-brain behavioral influencing parasite link, I would not be surprized, but I have 0 knowledge on the subject.
In many cases yes. Some single-threaded workloads are very sensitive to e.g. memory latency. They end up spending most of their time with the CPU waiting on a cache-missed memory load to arrive.

Typically, those would be sequential algorithms with large memory needs and very random (think: hash table) memory accesses.

Examples: SAT solvers, anything relying on sparse linear algebra
You would need to get all of the cash offshore then first, right.
The baseline draw is still much higher than lower spec alternatives, and it means you would need to cater for the high end scenario in your battery estimations if you intend to actually use it during power outages.

I switched from a 5950X + 3080, to a 5700G APU, to finally an M1 MBP + Steam Deck last year for this exact reason. Far cheaper to have a 250wh battery that can handle those two for the ±2h outages every day.
Apple’s chips are well regarded simply because they’re laptop chips - which they excel at because that’s where power consumption matters.

But currently only a small subset of Android devices come with all of Google’s current phone AI features out of the box, Pixel 8 Pro and the Samsung S24 lineup.

You can install the Gemini app on other phones, but last time I checked the install counts, it’s only a small percentage of the Android user base.

(I’d also be surprised if a large population would be willing to pay the $20 monthly Google One tier to use Gemini for private use.)
Windows Phone is dead. If that was Google’s play, it was very successful.

Normal people understand watts.
Because they know what an electric heater is.

And using 2x to 3x more electricity means more heat in their room.

Also many countries have smart electricity meters with in home units which tell them exactly how many watts are currently being consumed and how much that costs them.
"That comment of "crushing us" was infuriating. We decided to go it alone, and the results show this was the right decision."

Very satisfying to read!
Any word can become generic when overused. As more people get access to Grammarly and CharGPT, more of them will apply the same recommendations, turning previously rare words into generics.
I think Google is just being pragmatic. Monthly income from use of their models is monthly income that does not go to OpenAI and others.

They also partnered with Samsung for the AI features on the S24, which will initially be free, but subscription-based somewhere in 2025.
We used it for intranet documents but I suppose it had multiple uses.
Sure, after the public circus with the spy balloon, the government is eager to have a round two, this time with off-the-shelf consumer drones. Be honest, a picture of a $1000 drone would leave you totally unfazed.

Odd, I just tried it and it still works normally for me. I say “Siri” and the device says “uh huh?”
As expected fine-tuned st is the clear winner. However, it can be improved even further by removing double buffering altogether. Since the code is very hackable it's quiet easy to do and many LOCs can be thrown out.

> may have cost him re-election

Perhaps, but I suspect “read my lips, no more taxes” and Ross Perot taking a large chunk of republican voters might have more to do with it.

Perot got almost 20% of the vote which is huge amount for a third party candidate, and being a succesful buisnessman and outsider as opposed to the government bureaucrat Bush made him appeal to many traditionally republican voters.
That would also explain why they didn't pick something like Mistral or Stability. Newcomer with no strong legal dept can easily be tanked if people catch on that training infringes and legal winds change. Google is less likely to fail catastrophically when it comes to that.
That makes sense, Trump in particular had the foresight a few years back in an attempt to enforce a ban, it only got enough through to be banned from government devices and networks. Trump in particular knew that a few years later, Palestine favored users would absolutely seeth in preparation to this news, but not before, strictly because of this. Years in the making, Trump really telegraphed those people.

It's never that your unsubstantiated claims are wrong, its that you can never, ever, ever, be wrong, isn't that right?
It's very hard because my mind hates it when I lose weight.

- When I exercise rigorously, my mind tells me that I need to eat to recover fully. I end up eating more calories than I burnt during the workout.

- When I lose weight, I find that I'm much more negative and I have to constantly remind myself that it is the weight loss (and the lack of eating).

I still do it because I think being light is better for my back and knees than being heavy, but I can't say that it is easy.
Isn't that much, much cheaper than most missiles?
But they don't have as strong model as GPT-4 or Gemini 1.5 Ultra.

Just a fanciful quote with some license. But one might argue the defn of civilization as applied to general programming with so much of it being commodity programming these days.

> when all Java based applications are crashing

That probably needs to be qualified with "Oracle JVM Java applications" because I've had many hours of running Minecraft on macOS 14.4 under Zulu's JVM (a pre-14.4 release which means it doesn't have any workarounds) without any issues.
macOS Sonoma 14.4 might break Java on your machine
Very interesting. I had never seen that, but had seen this other essay which is clearly based on it, which supposes the complications that might arise if the FAA required pencils to certified for aviation use. I think it's a lot funnier than I, Pencil.

Basic things like compression can be needed for a consumer application. And it's just one example.

So I completely disagree with "2 cores are enough for consumer application" idea.

And it's even further form truth for games. Last time I looked at something like Cyberpunk 2077 in the debugger, it had 81 threads. 81! Part of it were vkd3d-proton ones, but only a small part.

And it actually does load CPU pretty evenly if you monitor it, so I'd say it scales OK.
The reason for Apple to do this will be exactly why Microsoft is happy for OpenAI to provide the Models. If anything goes wrong it's not Apple or Microsoft's fault. It is the SaaS provider who is to blame.
For apple this will mean Google's stock takes the hit while theirs remain unaffected. Unfortunately for OpenAI/MS, OpenAI is not public and so everyone is using MS as a proxy for trading on OAI. So if something goes wrong in the Bing/CoPilot world, MS stock will take the hit.
Corporate datacenters are still quite common.
They take billions a year to do that with your search, and have been at it for decades. They collect the same amount, if not more, of personal data. I really don't see why people elevate Apple to higher standards there. Because they also sell high margin gadgets? They are a for profit, sit on a goldmine, and implement as many lock-in patterns to make sure you can't self host/escape this collection.
Yeah. I don't know exactly how widely supported range requests are - my first few attempts turned up a few duds.
People say a lot of things that are not technically true. CPU speeds will probably keep going up for years or decades. But when CPU Hz were rising, the routine was things like 4MHz -> 8MHz every other year or so. Going from 4 to 6GHz over around 10-20 years is, effectively, flat compared to the rate of change people were dealing with before the year 2000.
It's interesting to note that in the context of this letter about the Journal of Algorithms, that there is now an open-access journal called "Algorithms" which looks like it launched five years after this letter:

It's incorrect to assume that a customer should be happy being compensated for minutes at the same hourly wage the store would have paid a dedicated cashier over the course of a whole day. Rather for on-demand piecemeal work done by a more skilled generalist, a much higher rate is appropriate. In addition to a minimum call out time, of course.

Personally I just avoid self checkout unless I only have one or two items and the lines are bad. But even then it's not often worth getting annoyed by the sluggish hyperprescriptive workflows.
Penis is definitely something else because it contains (almost) no muscles, while your other examples do (contain muscles).
This is the missing prequel to "The last of us"
Yes, but to be pedantic, absurdly so.
I was about to say just that.

And it's also why I doubt Apple would go with OAI, wouldn't want to depend on Microsoft's private money sink/flaky legal shield.
There is also a Copilot app that you can use from your phone.
Not quite: even single threaded, the workload matters.
>vector tiles can be infinitely precise but can end up transferring way more data.

"way more" - not likely, if it's an apples to apples comparison. Obviously there are extreme cases where tons of data is being shipped to the frontend that is not being used for anything.

The big advantage of vector tiles in practice is not needing any kind of tile rendering server in the background. You just generate your vector tiles (quick) then serve them straight up (easy). Simpler architecture and lower costs.
I'd expect more configuration issues in getting it to run on them than from a tested llama.cpp version, since this doesn't seem like a polished release. But maybe.
I find the eventual conclusion baffling:

> Applying this custom tuning results in an average latency of 5.2 ms, which is 0.1 ms lower than xterm, and that’s with having a much more sane terminal without legacy cruft.

This "legacy cruft" is as-close-as-it-gets compatibility to EVERYTHING the Terminal-based world has ever seen. It's an asset, not a liability, for those who need it, in case they need it - and that could very well be you one day.

I find it quite amazing that xterm manages to more or less outperform all the other implementations while (probably - I have not actually verified) being he most complete and correct one. Thomas Dickey is the man!
You can run Linux and openbsd on Apple M series chips, what do you mean only macOS?
Siri only does that when it hears "Siri" and nothing else, so a wait is still required. When I began using Siri it beeped when it began listening for more after "Hey, Siri", so I knew immediately that I could continue speaking.
It's not FUD to point to real problems that are occurring in the field. A processor that's unstable is still unstable even if it's covered by warranty. And to the extent that these real issues are being caused by aggressive motherboard defaults, Intel is not absolved: they have huge leverage over their motherboard partners, and are seemingly failing to use it to ensure users get a good, stable experience out of the box (likely because Intel cares more about high scores on popular benchmarks than about subtle stability issues in this market segment).
> Also unacceptable is requiring customers to do the job of an employee.

A grocery store is a store that takes money in exchange for groceries, not a store that takes money in exchange for poking buttons nor a store that takes money in exchange for putting things into bags. There's nothing inherently "job of an employee" about any button poking or bagging peripheral to trading payment for goods.
You're greatly over-exaggerating how much effort it takes for a power user to set up Windows. I had to do it the other day on a Dell MiniPC (sadly couldn't use Linux since I needed HDR) and it's just the following.

1. Set up USB stick in Rufus with all the setup skips enabled
2. Select install options, skip key, next next next
3. Wait for it to install
4. Say no to MS account, put in username, password, and security questions
5. Wait for a reboot and setup
6. Connect to internet, run Windows update, reboot when done
7. Uninstall the few bloatware apps in the start menu, most of them are UWP so the uninstall button does it immediately, takes no more than 5 minutes
8. Disable web search from group policy
9. Install Windows Terminal, Powertoys, and another web browser.

I could easily automate steps 7, 8, and 9 through powershell and winget if I wanted to. The total install time was less than 10 minutes plus the time it took for Windows Updates to install and I have a pretty clean environment.

In comparison, with Fedora running on Gnome I'd have to spend a solid amount of time messing with dconf settings to get fractional scaling to show up and for my touchpad to scroll at the correct speed + installing extensions to get a UX as good as Powertoys has by default, and on KDE I would need to spend the same amount of time messing with settings and installing KWin scripts to get functional tiling (although that might have got better since I last tried it).

Oh and on MacOS I would be up and running in almost no time, because there's no way to fix the absolute dumpsterfire of a UX it has so I don't even bother.

So all options kinda suck, Windows just sucks in its own ways.
> P. S. Im sending copies of this letter to several friends who are interested in journal publishing but are not members of our board. But this is not an "open letter"; I would prefer not to have my remarks circulated widely. I'm emphatically not a revolutionary. I just want our journal to do the right thing.

:/

EDIT: as others have pointed out the letter is now hosted publicly by Knuth himself.
Can't speak to the issues of security or surveillance, but the aerial shot included in the article does reveal a moderately challenging golf course immediately to the north of the main runway.

My personal surveillance suggests it might be more difficult to line up an approach shot on that par 4 (5?) dog leg right than it is to line up an approach vector to the main runway.

Just sayin'.
Imagine, for a moment, an even freer market.

Someone opens a car wash in a central area. They self-declare a tax value for the land and its improvements.

We also allow that anyone can forcibly buy that land by paying that same self-declared tax value + X%. The sale can't be blocked.

We've ended the monopoly of land ownership, and imposed a free market on land purchasing.

Car washes that are a waste of the land they are placed on will get bought out and converted to other uses. If they are not, they will remain.

This, by the way, is very close to a land value tax, and all we've done is force a fair appraisal of potential value for a parcel, rather than the current, possibly underutilized value.
Small parts like bolts are standardized, but things like car parts that easily could be aren't. Car manufacturers fight tooth and nail to block third party suppliers of spares for their cars. It will always be like this because most car manufacturers make very little profit from cars themselves. All the money is in credit fees and aftermarket care and servicing. If you can control the market for that you make a lot more profit.

This is true for cars, electricals, furniture ... everything really. It's only the very simple base elements that are standardized.
Not a rhetorical question. Are they more affordable now in 2024 ?

How much does the existence of open access journals affect the affordability overall ?
Wireshark an igizmo and a droid and see the difference for yourself :)
I'd be careful with Prazosin. Awful few weeks of violent and suicidal thoughts before it mellowed out into an emotionally zombified plateau, then I quit it. Cured my PTSD though.

Every person I personally know off will reasearch the shit out of the products including coupons available before making any kind of medium-high value purchase.

The digital assistant will need to be impartial and help in comparison with other similar product. Then again different people have different comparison criteria. Based on context I might be okay with a chinese knockoff while most of the time I might prefer the item that will last the longest.
Does this not present a security problem due to being on the same domain as the godev.com login system?
With a different set of problems imo. MDPI is a for-profit publisher with a "pay-to-publish" model, charging authors $1800 per accepted paper. And also a mixed reputation on quality, verging on a "paper mill" where they accept anything just to maximize their publication fees. Not a great model imo. There are non-profit Platinum OA journals that don't charge publication fees, like JMLR (https://www.jmlr.org/), which is the only kind of OA I consider interesting.
Discipline isn't profitable; selling drugs and trash food is.
they didnt seem afraid to touch music or movies, they have a lot of experience in that no?
If you have designed FPUs you should know that FP computation involves a lot more additional operations than just shifting (e.g. rounding, subnormals, and special value handling). That’s why, for example, CPUs use different hardware blocks for INT vs FP computation.

But that’s not the point. The point is, this particular method to speed up matmul is not suitable for FP.
That is a totally irrelevant point. And it's also a non-sequitur. I didn't claim they do, and it's irrelevant if they do. Wind and solar are cheaper. They out compete coal. It just doesn't matter if you care about the climate, you WILL switch to renewables or go out of business.

The article discusses the bossy attitude of the captain... in another crash (Airblue Flight 202 [1]) had a similar crash, again because of the bossy attitude of the captain, resulting in a crash into the hills. Asian respect culture creates a toxic environment where disagreeing with elders/superiors is nigh impossible, resulting in various issues.

The article also mentions the skills issue, or lack thereof. The overall problem is simple, Pakistan is facing a massive outflow of talent, anybody with any skill tries their level best to just escape (including yours truly), which means that you are left with the dregs.

Infact, specifically of the PIA lights to Canada, flight crew just running away after landing has become such an issue that it has become increasingly difficult to staff flights.

Overall, Pakistan as an economy is facing massive loss of confidence, and PIA as a govt owned organisation, is representative of that. Compounded by the fact that the govt has attempted multiple times to privatise it and has failed due to bureaucratic issues.

There are rumours that the current hybrid regime has finally realised the upcoming wall we are going to crash into, and finally realised they just must privatise a lot of govt owned entities... but at such a terrible state, who will buy them?

People worry too much about that stuff. You can use non-maintained software for decades just fine. But I see people all the time freak out because there wasn't a release in the last week or whatever.

Also, most business fail way before their chosen framework stops being maintained. In fact, most businesses fail before they even got their first customer, let alone getting to break even. We need to keep some perspective here.
Good to know I'm not the only one who has done this! I once wrote a template generation tool that embedded its input configuration into its output files as base64-encoded gzip'd JSON. Worked quite well at allowing template regeneration.
This completely ignores issues like food addiction (which is a hell of a drug - some of the, say, top obesity candidate genes are expressed in brain), an overabundance of sugar in the diet, and lack of anything that resembles a decent food culture.

When it comes to GUI, I can click faster than I talk. Sometimes typing would be a bit faster as well, in case you need to correct an error. Also, imagine a bunch of people talking all day long in an open space instead of mouse clicking/typing.
