Some mathematicians are afraid of being censored or only becoming mechanics.

"What some people like to call the progress of mathematics has always consisted in the subversion of paradigms. Pierre Deligne made this point in a lecture on Voevodsky’s univalent foundations: he said it reminds him of Orwell’s Newspeak, where the ideal was to have a language where it is impossible to express heretical thoughts."

But some companies evolve on top of their patents and use them to obtain a competitive moat over a period of time to outcompete larger players. If the patents were available for a flat license fee, you’d penalize patent innovation by smaller entities as bigger entities could pay the flat license fee and copy the patent. So smaller players will either just keep it a trade secret and hope that no one finds out (which theoretically hurts society due to lack of published secrets) or have to hope they can monetize their patent super fast & find someone with really deep pockets to fund that work.

And as mentioned, patents are super expensive. From talking to some people it varies significantly depending on your details but probably starting is ~10-20k per patent.
Very cool idea :)

Thanks, feeling slightly better.

Actually I really don't like lightning cables but thinking about it now what I actually don't like is how the cables themselves break. I had only slight issues with lint in ports which I needed to pick out with a toothpick, never had a connector snap off or anything like that, but the cables failed all the time regardless.

Maybe if Apple weren't so stubborn about cable thinness we'd be in a different place right now.

> I'm guessing that this discussion would be more productive if you would please say who you are and the company you work for. I'm Brendan Gregg, I work for Intel, and I'm well known in the performance space. Who are you?

Wow, just wow. How ridiculous this is?

> Your position is also completely untenable: this benchmark was obsoleted by its creators 29 years ago, who very clearly say it is obsolete, and you're arguing that it isn't because it "still runs."

My only position in the whole thread was "1% of overhead cannot be universally claimed" and I still stand by it 100%. pgbench experiment from Linux kernel folks was just one of the counter-examples that can be found in the wild that goes against your claim. And which you first disputed by saying that it is a micro-benchmark (meaning that you have no idea what it is) and now you're disputing it by saying it's obsolete (yes, but still very relevant in database development, used in the Linux kernel and not the slightest technical reasoning after all).

Personally, I couldn't care less about this but if names is what you're after, you're not disagreeing with me but with the methodology and results presented by Mel Gorman, Linux kernel developer.

> A far right government with an xenophobic, anti-EU, "we need a strong leader" party being the second strongest

Other things on the list I can understand but not this one. The government is not "far right" and not "xenophobic" (although one of the party in the government might be labeled as such, persus). Compared to US for example I think the current government is much more on the left than either republicans or democrats. The leading party in finland (part of the government) is actively pushing for more work-based migration.

Where did you get the "we need a strong leader" rethoric that you mention? I have never seen that from Persus (the party you are refering to)
I guess it's nice that it may be easier to repair, but Thinkpads have always been reasonably repairable, even if a bit fiddly. They also last a long time in my experience (current one is at 8 years old, same as the last one I had).

Working on a couple of ideas that flip that logic on its head, but you’re more likely to be right because of finite time.

The thing about rust is that the overhead is all upfront.

Not to be sacrilegious, but bleeding at the move or &wtf borrow boundary is a price one pays to have confidence, subsequently.

Your cms/customer acronym probably doesn’t need it, but you’ll love the —fast option in some stacks that merely means “compile the rust extension.”

The hard part are the engines anyway, which are still from the US (GE, Pratt & Whitney, CFM (that one is partly French)), and from the UK (Rolls-Royce).
"The 14900K(S) has an unlimited boost duration."

Okay, but unless you have cooling with liquid nitrogen you cannot maintain 6.2 GHz for long due to thermals in practice, hence after a short sprint it will fall back to a much lower frequency.
It is cost, but it is not as simple as just cost, the ability to just spin up a new database server without the hassle and delay of dealing with getting it licensed it is extremely valuable. This is a large part of the value proposition of linux as well.

I mean, I am sure there are companies with site licenses and it is easy to stand up a new microsoft stack, but I have never worked at any of them, for us it was always fighting with management and the purchasing department to get the licenses we needed. As none of us were really people persons this is exhausting. It was so much easier to stand up a service on linux in comparison. No bureaucracy, no delays just get it and go. So we pushed very hard into the linux and friends stack.
I don't get the part with unpaid overtime. As salaries are definitely not the biggest cost for them, why not just hiring twice as many?

While this is definitely an issue, ironically we may get to a point at some time where subpixel rendering becomes less and less useful, for reasons aside from pixel density.

As you know, subpixel rendering only works when you have a very specific display (i.e. LCD) since it takes advantage of, and hence relies on precise characteristics of how the pixels are physically laid out in the display.

This means that subpixel rendering fails to work on displays that have different layouts, the most recent example of this have been newer OLED displays (I think QD-OLED) which has a different pixel arrangement and then you ironically had Windows users complaining that the text looked jagged (although you are able to change the algorithm for subpixel rendering to match the QD-OLED, the unfortunate problem here is that its not really possible for this to work all for applications as it depends on which UI engine you are using, Windows is a giant mess here).

Long story short, I can see why Mac removed sub pixel rendering, its basically a workaround that reflected a time when you had less dense displays which were all LCD and had the same physical layout. Nowadays though high pixel density displays are a lot more common and then you don't need sub pixel rendering at all (and it works with all of the different physical pixel layout arrangements)
I don't know the details, but once it is proven that achieving lld/mold/sold-level performance is technically feasible, it shouldn't be extremely hard to achieve similar success for macOS.

The concern is not that people want change or that they vote for change per se but that the change comes in the form of a person or persons who destroy the freedom to vote for change. This is more likely to happen during times of discontent.

I've had similar symptoms for 7+ years now so it's most likely for life. Have seen many infectious disease specialists and CFS/ME is the diagnosis (same as long-covid). Mine seems to have been triggered by Glandular Fever (Epstein Barr Virus).

Exertion is the biggest trigger for me, but also the prescribed cure (Gradual Exercise Therapy). Alcohol is a weird one, I often feel better with a hangover than I do on a bad fatigue day (immuno-suppressant?) but then way worse the days after. I also have recurring Mononucleosis symptoms and have tried anti-virals to no avail...

It's so obviously immuno-related, really hope the science progresses soon.

The Next 20 Years of PostgreSQL: Embracing Better Persuasion
this is mostly due to the different types of regex and less about it being platform dependent. $ was end of string in pcre which is the "old" perl compatible regex. python has its own which has quirks as mentioned, re2 is another option in go for example, and i think rust has its own version as well iirc.
Just curious: Do you spend much time reading news, watching podcasts, or YouTube videos? I've noticed a similar thing in myself and I'm not sure if it's due to COVID or if it's because of this news addition.
I also have one from when I was a baby.

A woman who wasn't my mother carried me out from a house porch into the sunlight with my head on her left hand (heart) side.

Although I like Kotlin better, I'm really impressed how Oracle continues to improve Java. Some developers think Java is an old, cumbersome language, but it is indeed such a productive language and ecosystem with outstanding quality! Java has quite good support for functional programming, concise and immutable structs (called "records"), pattern matching, string templating, virtual threads, structured concurrency (preview for now), a vast ecosystem with outstanding quality, world class documentation, a fast and robust runtime and so on.

Even after nearly 30 years, Java is still a good choice to start something new (e.g. a startup).

You're exaggerating. NorthridgeFix on YouTube has probably dozens of videos of him replacing USB-C connectors. Yes, he sometimes has to replace the traces with pad strips, but that's a long way to throwing the whole board away.

What? This site is getting worse by the day.
I see it as "humans have a lot of sensors and Data coming in to be processed".

for generation of some knowledge or logical thinking and reasoning, no controller for muscles of tongue, vocal chords, breathing, etc is needed.

So if you take off, whatever is needed in and for our brain to keep the brain alive and to controll the body, there will be much less neurons left and then the question arise from my side:

Is it just the difference how a neuron (analog) and LLM (weights. Time and value discrete) work? Or is it the grade of connection and interlinking between the neurons, that makes the difference, if compared to the inner workings of an LLM?

If it's interconnection and interlinking, then more training on more parameters and some future data structures will surely help.
If it's the inner workings of a neuron, new attention mechanism or new techniques for "querying" could do the game...

For me, we already have a "intelligence". It's just still dumb xD

I’ve had non tech family and friends who are currently dealing with the result of American cutthroat capitalism and barely able to cover living expenses despite having two people working full time, ask me how I felt about the risk of AI to my job.

My answer has consistently been that I’m not afraid because one of these results happens. A: AI hits a peak soon and can’t replace any work I do, so it doesn’t matter. B: AI does get sophisticated enough to replace the work I do at which point we’ve basically reached almost star trek level tech where machines can do most of the work and we’ve allocated resources through society in a way that everyone benefits. And lastly the one I think is most likely C: AI automates all this knowledge work for the benefit of company owners and we end up either accepting it as a group and falling back to pre industrial serf like social structures or every rises up in a social revolution.

To be honest I’d expect that going back to serfdom style rules would be the most expected and stable but the current group of western oligarchs don’t seem to care to make sure that their burgeoning serf class have their basic needs met and instead want to antagonize them for not being rich. It’s a really odd juxtaposition of rabidly independent culture where people believe they accomplished everything by the sweat of their own brow crossing with the results of of a society that lets an individual run a company of 10s to 100s of thousands of employees at the same time

CSS is actual programming. Nevertheless, he was just stating a common case where one iteratively checks if their assumptions, even if carefully accounted for, conform to their expectations.

Another, very real "programming" situation could be the following: correctly parsing 3D mesh information in a multithreaded fashion and pass that to your preferred API of choice. Is one going to get all edge cases right the first time? Is your program's codebase large enough? Eventually it becomes kinda yucky having to wait.

The compiler may know what is programmatically correct, not what your intention is. I think that's what the other person was trying to argue.

I'm not too concerned about compile times myself, I'm used to them given I mostly dabble with compiled languages (I do a lot of CSS though!), but there's a argument to be made about iteration time and being fast in solving a problem.

However, this lack of access to space should come to an end soon. The ESA has shipped stages of the first flight hardware for the Ariane 6 rocket to its French Guiana spaceport. While the ESA has not set a specific launch date, it is working toward a window that extends from June 15 through July 31.

I regularly make (grow) tempeh and koji and both require a food dehydrator to keep the temperature around 30°C for the duration of the fermentation (in my case, living in the Netherlands, so Western Europe). Both tempeh and koji are molds (mycelium that doesn't produce mushrooms).

I also make milk kefir, water kefir, sourdough and kombucha and while none of these cultures require the higher temperatures, they do thrive in the higher temperatures.

I also grow quite a few species of mushrooms and have learned that a lot of species incubate quite aggressively at higher temperatures (25-35°C).
“Don’t be evil” disappeared in 2018. That might be around the point that big tech companies dropped all pretense of caring about their users.
You need to get out of your bubble more often. Wealth does not equal being civilized.
If you measure something that has catastrophic consequences if it gets “too big” and later find out that the measurement understated things then that is disconcerting. The headline seems appropriate.
Note that the judge did not find that any of the websites are products or subject to product liability, only that there is a justiciable dispute of fact on that point. Your argument hinges on facts that are on dispute and on which evidence will be presented later by the parties, at this stage the standard is does the complaint state a cause of action when viewing every disputed fact in the light most favorable to the plaintiffs. This is not a ruling on the facts, it is a ruling on whether the filing raises issues for which it is necessary to examine the facts to reach a resolution.

"Happiness" is being confused with "contentment" or "basic satisfaction".
You say that as a bad thing, others see it as a good thing. Like with everything, we eventually revert to a happy and "flowing" medium. People being unhappy means their needs and worries were not being catered.

Driven especially by having the second most happiest youth. For one, Israel is an advanced country with mostly sunny weather. But the edge in my opinion is military/service culture produces a sense of self-actualization in the youth that is lacking in much of the West. Religion also makes people happy, and Israel is a pretty religious country.

I mean if the tech industry wanted people to like it, maybe it should treat them better?

We live in the smoking ruins of the world of our grandparents, and that is because, unambiguously, of industry and policy shaped by industry. Wages have stagnated. Cities have become places that are great if you have lots of money to spend and pretty hostile otherwise. Medicine has increasingly become a luxury, as has healthy food and a roof over your head. Meanwhile, in tech, the goodwill of the userbase has very rapidly and repeatedly been betrayed because capital wanted constant growth. News and media have been subsumed into a slog of ad-suffused "content" optimized to hook your attention. You are spied on in everything you do, supposedly to target more ads. Many new horrendous ways of abusing the labor force have been invented and then legalized by this industry

Now I hate telling people I study AI because SV people made a really interesting methodology into an apocalyptic cult whose adherents are often smugly dismissive of most recognizable human values in favor of a vague future that sounds like living in a video game made of vibes, and the main use case the optimization-obsessed finance-twiddlers that run the show can imagine is replacing workers in every domain, starting with artists. Why should they like this? Technology for technology's sake is not what most people care about, and why should they when the last ten years of "innovation" has on balance mostly been against their interests?
I'm not saying that I disagree, but this strikes me as a "Things are different from my youth and are therefore bad" style comment (on behalf of the article author, not the commentator).
It tarnishes their grand 'vision' for the user experience.
I don't think you can compare LEGO with not-LEGO...

Firstly it feels a little sacrilegious, but religion aside quality is often uncomparable and there was this common meme from my childhood that your parents did not love you if you got knockoff LEGOs. Part of the reason why we buy LEGO is because it's LEGO. Buying some other brand (regardless of quality) does not hit the same way.

Sure, people hate tech. And tech clearly hates its own customers. So why hasn't something that doesn't hate its own customers disrupted tech? If anything, the enshittification is just getting worse. Prime video's random ads alone should have led to mass cancellations but it's not happening, is it? So what exactly will lead to people walking away as opposed to grumbling as things keep getting worse and worse?

Reminds me a lot of politics in the United States at this point: stuck with two disappointing parties with almost no chance of a third party really shaking things up because the one thing they can agree on is that a third party should never arise.
