Bump allocation specifically means doing nothing but moving a pointer by a displacement related to the object size.

While "arena allocator" is also used for the same thing, it doesn't exclusive have that meaning. It also refers to region-based memory management in general. An arena allocator can be versatile, allowing objects of different sizes to be freed in any order, and coalesced for new allocation. The arena part of is that the application can throw the whole arena away in one operation.

Bump allocation isn't always used inside arenas that can themselves be allocated or freed. It can be global also. Operating system kernels use such an approach for initialization-time allocation of permanent objects. The classic Unix sbrk() mimics that.
I think of it as different companies helping at different stages of mainstream adoption

for any open source project, the initial adoption during its initial stages would have been that project itself, later on it will be someone with financial incentive to drive adoption but that would still be a niche market and as soon as it starts to show potential aws simply copies and gives it as an offering

all 3 help with the adoption, whether we like it or not, aws has much larger distribution channel and people would rather just use one of the existing vendor than buy a new Nth vendor
you are assuming the regular end user knows the difference between 4 spaces and a tab and the nuances that come with them trying to replace one with the other or why space between two values is different at one point from the next.

Commas are, by far, better delimeters than tabs in the grand scheme of things and with both expert and regular users considered.

If you asked me to improve Windows as a product for its customers, I'd probably be incapable of it. Not because there's nothing in Windows to improve, but because there's so many constraints placed upon it:

* You can't make it too powerful, integrated, or streamlined because you need Microsoft services to be artificially differentiated from competitors, which means leveraging platform power.

* You can't make it too fast because you can't overhaul any systems that might break a truly insane amount of backwards compatibility.

* You can't improve the UX because the primary function is monetization.

From a career perspective, head of Windows seems like not a great job.

I never thought the books could be replicated for television, but I have to admit — this is pretty good work all things considered.

Kudos to the writers for stitching a compelling show, despite some liberties.
The answer is far weirder - they had a chat bot, and no one even discussed it in the context of search replacements. They didn’t want to release it because they just didn’t think it should be a product. Only after OpenAI actually disrupted search did they start releasing Gemini/Bard which takes advantage of search.
The physical release was always the contrast to streaming. It should have offered a quality encoding and additional features not available on streams, and of course the permanence of "it won't suddenly disappear because they only negotiated a n-year license."

As streaming gets worse, the alternative becomes progressively more compelling-- especially for "signature" movies. It ends up in the same place vinyl and CDs do in a Spotify world.

But the DVD industry is basically saying 'we no longer consider ourselves a commercial endeavour worthy of trying to have a trade association and logo programme.'

The phrasing
> Currently we are preparing the scheme that enables any manufacturer to manufacture DVD Products without "License" on and after January 1, 2025.

I wonder if this will mean that we'll see the release or wind-down of the DRM facilities associated with the format. Otherwise, you could hardly make interoperable "DVD Products".
That’s what I was asking. The word debt in the title is pretty intentional click bait; there are many better words that could describe the issue in a far more precise manner for a headline.

Today in Apple history: Apple exec bets his wine cellar on Newton
How exactly do you ban someone from public transit? And why would you? In every major city I've visited, there's no way to track who used the system: you either pay with cash (buying a ticket), or you put money on an anonymous stored-value card and use that in the fare gates. Anyone with cash can ride.
If you want the analogy to make sense, you have to specify a particular method of paying. At which point it becomes obvious that most places selling food let you use multiple alternatives. Websites usually don't give you a choice.
> Your grandma being scammed is not dependent on being able to install software.

Agreed. But just because there are multiple potential vectors doesn't mean we should ignore them.

> If you believe it is an issue regardless then safeguards can be implemented such as child safety features or simply allowing you to opt-out (or even not opt-in) when you're setting up your grandma's iPhone for her or whatever.

You can MDM lock an iPhone (and I assume Android), but only from initial setup. This also requires a technical skillset and a backend or paid subscription. I agree opt-in safeguards are more appropriate. However until those are a simple option, taking away the alternative is not great.

> If Apple locking down their store in a way that is extremely user-hostile makes them a billion dollars and they walk away unpunished, how long will its competitors refrain from doing the same for?
> Apple is large enough that they affect me personally even if I do not use their products.

How? I genuinely don't understand this rationale, it always seems so vague.

If a vendor acts in a way you don't like, you purchase from elsewhere. If an Android vendor decided to follow suit, another would choose not to and you could stick with them.

If bizarrely they all chose to, ColourOS, Graphine etc are all options, significantly easier than in the past.

Even Linux phones and KaiOS are potentially viable alternative to fill the needs of the average user.

How does Apple having a walled garden have any impact on you at all, aside from a theoretical house of cards that consumers wouldn't tolerate?

Oh, did you read the article :)

"Agilent developed a way to print strands of DNA from the four nucleic acid bases—cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A), and thymine (T)."

"Inkjet systems are particularly suited for printing drugs in the form of thin films, such as transdermal patches to be applied to the skin and buccal films to be held in the cheek, where drugs can pass directly to the bloodstream without first going through the digestive system."

These applications are from dedicated machines, not available at BestBuy. Though I would like to see a supplier selling conductive inks for circuit board prototyping, and just maybe a home system could be filled with DNA or medicines??

The article also gave an interesting overview of the micro-dosing technology using for example piezo-electrics.
I grew up in a very poor socioeconomic situation and became an SWE. The largest challenge wasn't learning the skills. The hardest challenge was throwing away my culture and hiding who I am to get the bills paid. It was also knowing the "correct" socially-coded answers to things, and being able to keep up the upper-class disguise well-enough over long periods. When people discover or figure it out, they discriminate against you in subconscious ways and exclude you.
> Iaso explained that layer ordering is "an illusion" that doesn't actually impact the functionality of the image (unless one layer overwrites a file provided by another layer), and that Nix picks an arbitrary order.

Wat?

Occasionally this is the entire purpose of a layer.. is it true it's unreliable? Or only non-deterministic under Nix? I thought deterministic builds are a huge selling point with Nix (admittedly, I haven't tried it yet, because intimidated and my existing tools don't irk me enough to bite the bullet.. yet).

Corsair Vengeance 2x32GB 5200Mhz. My understanding is that DDR5 in general is mostly immune to known rowhammer attacks because the on-chip ECC is good enough to fix any issues. This attack seems to work only with AMD Zen processors and not with Intel 12th-14th gen so I suspect DDR5 on intel is still good.

> The first time we came across CSV format we likely typed it in notepad by hand.

Again, I'm not saying CSVs aren't edited by hand in a text editor, I'm saying they aren't created from scratch in a text editor, even by beginners. USVs are easy to edit in a text editor, too, and I tried viewing and editing USVs with a couple different fonts and had no problems.
There is simply no situation in which I'd not want for something to have dark mode.
I'd rather work with someone that prefers a format, but doesn't write articles like this. It's fine to "prefer" parquet, but CSV is totally fine - whatever works mate.

When you hit the inevitable "friends don't let friends" or "considered harmful" type of people, it's time to move quickly past them and let the actual situation dictate the best solution.

From the README:

>Per move, a model gets 5 illegal moves before forced resignation of the round.

>Most of gpt-4's losses were due to illegal moves, so it may be possible to come up with a prompt to have gpt-4 correct illegal moves and improve its score.

My experience exactly with gpt4. I first solved by keeping a list of illegal moves and subsequently prompting to move again and explicitly exclude those moves. Idea was to constrain gpt as little as possible, but that became inefficient. So I began to prompt for each move with the complete set of legal moves to choose from.

In any case, at a certain point it becomes somewhat random when the goal is just to produce a legal move.

But, it's interesting that producing legal moves is a challenge for gpt4, especially given that it's such a discrete problem.

This (innovator's dilemma / too afraid of disrupting your own ads business model) is the most common explanation folks are giving for this, but seems to be some sort of post-rationalization of why such a large company full of competent researchers/engineers would drop the ball this hard.

My read (having seen some of this on the inside), is that it was a mix of being too worried about safety issues (OMG, the chatbot occasionally says something offensive!) and being too complacent (too comfortable with incremental changes in Search, no appetite for launching an entirely new type of product / doing something really out there). There are many ways to monetize a chatbot, OpenAI for example is raking billions in subscription fees.

I can mean lockdown means no walking, because that's exactly what happened. You could not walk anywhere. It's not like your legs fell off, you were mandated to not use any form of transport to locations because those locations were prohibited. They in essence removed your license to walk places.

If you can't see the simple point in front of you now, you never will. How are you guys still struggling with this? The government does control your freedom of walking as a transport. You can pretend like they didn't and all those empty city photos were just photoshopped or fake news... if you want I guess.
Yikes. between the article and the underlying legal aid society paper:

1.7 million Ohioans have a suspension in a given year. Meanwhile the state has 8M licensed drivers, so 20% of the people in the state are suspended at a given time? Wild.

Unfortunately, the legal aid society betrays the "bullshit" angle that the Fed article obscures. On page 5 they talk about the types of "debt related suspensions" in their dataset - the biggest single category with over 50% of the "affected" drivers is "non compliance suspension" - which is drivers which fail to produce proof of insurance during a traffic stop or accident. The second biggest category is "forfeitures" which is people who were charged with a traffic violation and didn't bother to show up to court or to pay the fine.

The article makes it sound like most "license suspensions do not stem from bad driving; instead, they arise because the driver owes an unpaid debt" - and then opaquely bucket "not having insurance DURING A TRAFFIC STOP OR ACCIDENT" as "unpaid debt" rather than "bad driving." The Fed article doesn't make any reference to the insurance thing at all, but that's literally the largest bucket.

It feels a bit of a stretch to me to then portray the data as discriminatory towards the urban poor - the article works very hard to make these suspensions seem punitive towards those communities where it seems that the real causality is "urban poor have a low rate of having insurance" -> "not having insurance causes a license suspension" both of which are kinda predictable and reasonable, and would make for a dull article.

The 3rd largest group of "suspensions" is unpaid child support - behind "didn't show up to court for traffic violation" and "no insurance." This is indeed a "debt related" suspension but conveniently the Fed article doesn't feature the term "child support." We can still debate whether unpaid CP is grounds for license suspension, but for an article that relies to much on emotional flavor (eg describing affected communities etc) it seems remiss to ignore that the subset of those communities most impacted (besides those who fail to show up to traffic court and those who don't have insurance) are child support deadbeats.

It's funny that the authors of this debt and payment related article on the Federal reserve website are called Kyle FEE and Brian MikelBANK.
Don't change the data by replacing the separator. If the data contains a comma, tab etc. I want to receive a comma, tab etc.

What a fascinating read. Not the linked article but the actual proceedings:

see the docket:
https://decisions.fct-cf.gc.ca/fc-cf/decisions/en/item/52504...

Which reads:
Mr. Xu, a 43-year-old Chinese national, is inadmissible to Canada on security grounds pursuant to paragraphs 34(1)(a) and (f) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, SC 2001, c 27 [IRPA].

Relevant Canadian Law:
https://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/page-6.html#docCon...

34 (1) A permanent resident or a foreign national is inadmissible on security grounds for
(a) engaging in an act of espionage that is against Canada or that is contrary to Canada’s interests;
(f) being a member of an organization that there are reasonable grounds to believe engages, has engaged or will engage in acts referred to in paragraph (a), (b), (b.1) or (c).

I am so not a lawyer, but the law seems to be written in present tense. Huajie Xu retired from the PLA in 2018 and came to Canada legally with a valid permanent resident visa in 2021. This case cites very similar one: Geng v. Canada (2023) in which the applicant was ultimately granted admission.

> Esperanto is a superior language to English.

Not really. You can say it's more regular but that's because it sees barely any actual use; if it ever gained popularity it wouldn't stay regular. (And given that pilots speak in set phrases anyway, irregularity isn't really an issue). It's not a great language by any stretch, it's an awkward mismash of four european languages; sure it sounds kind of nice in an Italianate way, but if that's what you want then why not just speak Italian?
