> Ah yes, people hate it when people call out corruption that results in the planes they fly to kill people!

I obviously referred to former coworkers whose livelihood is on the table. Whether you believe it or not, whistleblowing isn't seen favorably from those that still work there. If it was, they would've been themselves.

> Nothing makes regular people more upset when you put integrity over the profits of some corporation!

If you're the wife/child and your own life is dragged by your father losing his job and being dragged in lawsuits, while you're the butt of the mouth of everyone you know may not be an enjoyable experience.

Anyway, mine was a mental exercise to show one of the possibilities, I guess this kind of thinking of different situations is not the strength of people that see the world in black and white.

Me too. Just why?

I just went through a hellish Microsoft experience _trying_ to get Office 365 working on a Windows laptop. Got stuck in a fail loop: Create account -> Email already used. Login. -> Cannot login, account (email) does not exist. -> Create account. DO FOREVER.

The crazy thing is on Microsoft's own support (term used very generously) forums there are multiple threads with many pages on this very same issue. Imagine, I want to pay you for your product, but your rats nest of services is such a hot mess that it's nearly impossible. Unbelievable!

Converted the laptop to Linux dev box. Doing project using Pages and Keynote on my Mac.
I would think that if you were concerned about this sort of thing and proving it wasn't suicide, you would have some sort of measures in place - hidden video, hidden audio, trace powders, etc.
The whole Taylor repair scenario reeks of some sort of corporate kickback scheme. Taylor makes a deal with corporate that forces franchises to buy a subpar machine. Every time the machine goes down Taylor gets a repair order and corporate extracts power by potentially revoking the franchise if the owner seeks other means to repair it.

Talking to McDonalds workers one main complaint was that every item on the menu required a special machine. McDonald’s more closely resembles a factory than a kitchen.
> Out of curiosity, does anyone here actually know how to solve the "fuzzy search of chess positions" problem?

A classification based indexing would help here. The data points of the index would be not just the position of the pieces, but their relative as well. Things like the squares under attack, pinned weaker pieces, and maybe some evaluation of control of the board (again maybe via some attacking based metric).

This seems like the kind of thing that could be done by analyzing a larger dataset of games to create a set of functional categorizations.

Once the data points themselves have been identified, actually indexing them is the easy part.

Solving this more generally for the “find me games like X…” is much trickier without locking down that X to something concrete.

> 25->100 is more of a luxury then a necessity
> a single 4k stream can exceed that

I think this is an odd choice of a counter-example. Is 4k streaming a necessity or a luxury? How many people could even tell the difference in an A/B test between 4k and 1080p on their televisions at their viewing distances?

> 20mbps is a good bump if you're running some backups overnight, or uploading a 4k video file.

I agree that it's a good bump. Back to necessity vs luxury, how many people back up entire laptops (with or without a sense of urgency) and/or upload 4k video files?

> we're not talking about replacing a ton of last mile wiring

Of course we are, unless it's delivered wirelessly. A huge percentage of last miles are relying on DSL over lousy POTS lines. I use DSL as a backup connection because cable is so unreliable for me, and the fastest I can get in a major metro area is 25-30Mb/s against AT&T's "Internet 50" plan.
Zillow and Redfin get their listings from the MLS. Realtor.com is run by the NAR.

The practical effect of the MLS has been to rationalize and normalize real estate information across the market.

The downside is that people have gotten the impression that this information just appears. They may be surprised what effects the disappearance of the MLS may have on the market.
Because getting the company you have shares in dragged in even more mud at such a time with a whistleblower dying mysteriously does really your shares no good.
> I wonder if this is because Apple prioritizes a farther away focal point for the inserts, so you literally can't focus on anything close up

VR is interesting all because all manufactures (that I know of) have a fixed focal distance for the screens. This is why you need inserts in the first place, even though the lenses are right in front of your eyes. For example, on the valve index this is set to ~6ft, so if you can see up to 6ft perfectly, you do not need inserts.

Moving your phone around doesn't change this number, its a relationship between the lenses and the screens

> At the moment, x86 is mainly hanging on in legacy spaces because of backward compatibility.

x86 platforms also tend to let you run your own code, and are associated with 'proper computers/proper operating systems' where you have full access to your own device.

The vast majority of non-x86 devices are of the 'locked down and dumbed-down' variety. Content consumption devices built around monopolistic App Stores and touch-centric UIs. They tend to be entirely non-upgradable and, increasingly, actively repair-resistant, too.

The market for a 'real computer' may be shrinking, but it's premature to call them 'legacy devices'.

(It'd be nice if serious ARM-based PCs became more of an option though, not just little devices like the Pi, or glued-in-battery Apple products, but fully-upgradeable replacements for a high-end x86 workstation or gaming PC)
Most important thing you must know about Cordic, it is copyrighted and you will not allowed to use it for free.
What, exactly, has Nissan done with their 15 year R&D lead on EVs exactly? Best I can tell, they sell a car that is largely the same as the original Leaf, but with better range… still the same crap uncooled battery pack with mediocre range vs price and underwhelming specs.

Sure, they just released the Ariya, but that just seems like yet another crossover to compete with Ioniq 5, Mach E, model Y, at a similar price point no less. If they have the technological lead, they’ve surely squandered it.
Using the extra available piece indexes for "rook that can castle" and "pawn that moved two squares" is a great idea. So e.g. moving the king would not only change the squares where the king moved from and to, but would also convert both of the rooks from "rook that can castle" to "rook that can't castle". Same for a pawn that moved two squares and can be captured by en passant.

I guess you also need some way to encode which player's turn it is. Though maybe you could eliminate that by flipping the board on black's move and always encoding from the perspective of the last player's move?

I'm curious about whether a naive columnar encoding scheme could beat a more complex encoding scheme, after compression. Not columnar in the sense of ranks and files, but columnar in the sense of data science storage formats (e.g. parquet), where each 'column' is the state of a specific square across different board states. Given 64 such columns, a game state is a single row. The hypothesis being that if you're encoding all the game states of a large number of games (say 1000), after RLE and compression etc you would see a net compression better than more complex encoding schemes. Given a big block of game states like this, then a single 'game' would be a list of offsets into the game states. This would probably also compress very nicely in columnar format.

Now I want to try it...
Is there something about RISC that is still makes it better than CISC when it comes to per-watt performance? Seems like nobody has any success making an x86 processor that's as power efficient as ARM or RISC.

I suspect part of the problem (and hence friction) is drawing an analogy to something that's actually a strength/net positive in Montréal as a city, but using it to claim a weakness/net negative in programming languages.

Widely homogeneous cities are not necessarily failures, but it's hardly a indicator of somewhere that functions well (as a city).
Making a Good Proof-of-Concept
When people have done studies, they have found real estate agents on average sell their own homes for 10% more than anyone else. Because think about it. If their commission is 3%, are they really gonna fight to sell for $350,000 in a week if they can sell it for $300,000 today and get a new client, when the difference to them is $1,500?

If they can get even one extra client per year for the other $9,000, it's much more worth it to do that than to hold out for a better offer.
Right! The hash table you're describing is O(1) lookup, but its memory size is a constant multiple larger than the Bloom filter. A Bloom filter doesn't tell you anything about where the needle is–only whether the needle exists; so, if used for lookup, it reduces to O(n) brute-force search. In between the two, you can create an array of M partitions of the haystack, each with their own Bloom filter: this structure has something like O(M + n/M) lookup, but with the smaller memory size of the Bloom filter.

When I implemented this, I deliberately avoided constructing the hash table you're describing, because (to my recollection) it was larger than my remaining disk space! :)
McDonald's the corporation is not being hurt by this contract, in fact they are heavily profiting from it. Independently owned individual franchises are the ones suffering from this machine that corporate forces them to use.

The article also claims they were imported from China. They also said samples were sent for genetic testing and confirmed they were of the species Morchella sextelata. Not sure if that is what you're referring to as a species with a higher hydrazine content but I agree with you that you should be cooking them regardless and it's strange to me that they were serving them raw.
That's curious - we use the Taylor machines with almost '0 downtime' besides maintenance (scheduled and rarely interferes with customers). The tech who installed our machines says it's all a skill issue with anyone who can't keep these machines up. According to him, the issues are rare / negligent maintenance and very old product left entirely too long in the machine. He will have one from our machines, but never from some other establishments.
And almost looks like they're deliberately trying to not win any market share.

My problem with the vision pro is that it doesn’t do enough new, the iPhone and the MacBook Air let you use a computer in an area where you previously couldn’t and made it accessible to normal people. The vision pro isn’t that much better in terms of bringing the technology in a user friendly package to the masses than the quest.

A good measure of an Apple product is if you can pitch a version of it to your grandma or dad who can’t open PDF file. If something only appeals to tech enthusiasts it is not a good Apple product (except the professional line products intended to be used for serious work by professionals which the vision pro isn’t)
Apple is and always has been a product company. They invent technology to serve the product, and they don't particularly talk up the specifics of the technology, preferring to talk about what it enables. For example, the numerous interaction features introduced by the iPhone, such as swiping, pinching, and tapping. And the high resolution display they demanded for their Vision Pro.

Each MLS is franchised by the NAR, which enforces standards and interoperability, and get funds to do it from real estate agent membership fees.

That allows Zillow, Redfin etc. to offer listings free. If they had to carry the weight of all the expenses themselves, it's likely that access to listings would be far more restricted, and/or much less comprehensive.

which is part of why I'm so confused by the scheme. Sure, as other commenters have pointed out, it's the franchisees that are bearing this cost and not the "corporation" (which is allegedly getting a kickback), but I have to imagine that, at the margin and in the long term, the reputation that McDonalds has of never having working ice cream machines causes some harm (if caused zero harm, then the flip side is that there is zero value to them having the machines/product), so in the long term there are fewer franchises and therefore less money to the corporation.

Rather than this complicated kick back scheme....why not just charge the franchisees more money? It's Mcdonald's gets the same amount of money, the franchisees pay the same amount of money, but you have ice cream machines with a greater uptime and therefore a better brand image which leads to greater long term growth. It just seems stupid and short sighted.

I realize that humans do stupid and short sighted things all the time, but this one just seems really obvious. This almost feels like it has to be a cause of corruption where the the corporation isn't actually getting something but rather some executive got a direct kickback in order to slip this in, even though it's in the best interests of neither the franchisees nor the corporation.

I used an unfortunate shorthand; I said constitution when I meant charter of rights.

My point still stands; the treaties were vague, but that's what both sides wanted in the past. That courts are taking a written passage that says: the right to freely fish for our nation, and then taking that to mean more than you can take your boat and go out, but to mean your nation can own fishing companies, then that's fine legally. After all, they can freely fish.

To change them to be restrictive, you cannot change our constitution. You need to negotiate new treaties with First Nations. Who have no incentive to sit down and negotiate for a worse deal, when we haven't even legally respected the previous deal for centuries.
> my response was: i duplicated an existing structure and made mine look exactly the same. i agree that proper indentation would be nice. but if i did that, my structures would look different from the original. i could clean up the original too, but then the diff would be harder to read because it would contain unrelated changes.

The idealist part of me wants to say: Clean up the original code, submit that as the first diff, then rebase your additions on top as a separate diff.

The pragmatist part of me recognized long ago that a lot of software engineering now is like what you describe. The days of elegant, carefully-maintained codebases where someone sweated over every semicolon are long gone.
I am not convinced there even is a missing piece. I mean, LLMs are being used very differently compared to how traditional AI programs were written. Combining both worlds might be all that is needed.

I would not be surprised that when we have general artificial intelligences, we will see, that advancing LLMs wasn't necessary.

I'm a normal man and don't think twice about consuming soy, as humans have done for centuries.

The McDonald's machines ARE unique and supposedly superior. They can sterilize the feed liquid without removing it from the machine.

Nominally, this is far more idiot proof than other machines which are dependent upon underpaid fast food staff cleaning the machine correctly every single night.

The problem is that Taylor didn't allocate enough development funding because the sales volumes are low and consequently they produced an unreliable machine. Even worse, Taylor gets to double dip by being the only people allowed to repair the unreliable machine.

McDonald's only cares in that the machine doesn't give customers food poisoning--for them, mission accomplished. Taylor only sees positive cashflow from repair and consequently has zero incentive to improve the machine--mission accomplished.

The fact that the franchisees get shafted isn't on the radar.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: federal law should at least mandate that SMS 2FA cannot be a required option. With services like Paypal allowing you to reset your entire account authentication just by receiving an SMS message, I expect disastrous results. Alternately, we could just ban SMS 2FA outright.

It may be an unpopular opinion, but I'm sticking to my guns on this one. https://lorendb.dev/posts/lets-ban-sms-2fa/

Depends on how the 9 hrs of downtime is distributed. It could be 6480 5-second outages (packet loss). There are 3650 10-hour workdays in a year. If those 6480 5-second dropouts occur during waking hours, you're looking at 2 5-second dropouts every hour, which is going to suck.

I had a bad connection because of bad coax cable, and it's infuriating because each dropout causes long delays while TCP recovers.

Activated charcoal is just a high adsorption material with a lot more surface area (100-1000x or so) than stomach lining so anything floating around is more likely to be trapped by the charcoal than get absorbed by your digestive system.

It works with pretty much anything, good or bad, since it exploits a basic physical process of molecules sticking together.

You're trading off other more qualitative benefits to get that additional RAM: screen quality, battery life, heat, UI/UX "smoothness," etc. Is the added RAM worth that trade-off? I'd argue not for most users, including power users like myself; I have a base-model 15-inch M2 Air for travel, and a beefy Windows+Linux desktop at home that I can SSH/VPN into.
