Found the German? :)

"Spartle" = Spachteln? You may trowel your wall (with a trowel full of plaster). At least that's what I do here in Canada.

"Footlist" = Fussleiste? Leiste is not a list. Leiste translated can literally just be "trim" and "foot trim" is quite close - leave out foot and you have what it's actually called. Floor trim, baseboard, baseboard trim (to distinguish from 'baseboard' just meaning 'baseboard heating' if context isn't clear etc).

I think your parent, like you are saying in the end as well, was also less worried about seeing your own imperfections (tho that's of course a thing too) and more in line with the original comment about "not being able to unsee it" in general.

And that is definitely true. You see all the badly hidden imperfections from professionals. And you will also see all the well hidden ones but you still know they're there now while before you did it yourself, you never even noticed. It can also make your relationship with professionals worse because you will see the hiding but have trouble distinguishing the correct line between "well hidden but visible to the professional eye" and "bad job" :)

Not related to your comment itself, but that’s a really bad paper/document. When analyzing the case “sudden full throttle when the car is stopped”, it is assumed that breaking only begins after 1.5s. Does a normal driver not keep the brake held while stopped at a traffic light. Also, he later assumes that data from a drag race can be compared to the case of sudden acceleration when at a stop because drag race drivers should floor the throttle, too. As far as I know, flooring is often not the fastest way to accelerate (just like fully braking compared to ABS), so the drag race data does not necessarily represent full throttle from a stop.
You’re not alone. I think a lot of people, especially in STEM, pooh-pooh philosophy at first.

The problem is that in any field, if you start digging to understand the underlying concepts of that field and how they are defined, at some point you hit philosophy and start working with philosophical concepts.

The other problem is that there’s some real quack philosophy around, too. Various traps that philosophers sometimes fall into.

Unlike most of you, I strongly disliked Dennett's philosophy. But he seemed like a wonderful human, and he always made me think.
Remember: Carbs turn to the same thing as added sugar before they even hit your stomach.

My current approach is to look at the % daily value for carbs and for fiber whenever I buy bread, cereal, etc. If the carbs are higher than the fiber I buy something else.

There are a few switches that worked out particularly well: Flour -> Corn tortillas, and the Ezekiel brand (or other recipies-from-the-bible-themed varieties from the same company) sprouted whole grain bread at the store.

Stuff marked "low carb" or "keto" often is primarily mode of bizarre ingredients like extracted starch. Worse, they often contain artificial / organic non-caloric sweeteners that are way worse than just eating sugar.

Also pretty hot, since if I remember correctly, the waste heat of a human is higher per volume (or was that mass ?) than of the sun !
Beetles are like the MVP of species (minimum viable, not most valuable). Some superstructure (which can often double as armor) plus food storage. Even crabs are extravagant next to a beetle: crab takes that recipe and adds on attack capabilities, which are sometimes wasteful (crabs attacking humans are wasting their time for example).

Life: beetles, plus extra features which must be justified.

Shifting into reverse on most modern automatic transmissions requires the brake pedal to be depressed at least a tiny bit. Neutral has no pin.

In fact this is a somewhat little advertised boon to three point turns, in that you can go from reverse to drive without depressing the release button on floor mounted shifters or pulling the stalk in on steering wheel mounted units. You can just slap the car into D from R.

As of late last year, AMD is now committed to AI.

MI300x was released in Dec of last year, only months ago. It has 192gb, while H100's only have 80.

There are at least 4 companies now providing bare metal cloud access to these cards. +2 more are hyperscalers (Oracle and MSFT).

It is critically important for the long term safety of AI that we are not dependent on a single source for all of the hardware and software related to AI.

It takes a lot of effort to course correct a large ship, give it some time.

fwiw, your mileage may vary, [insert hedge here], but getting my vitamin D levels up to normal ranges had very outwardly visible changes to my health. I had crazy alopecia barbae (people would ask if I was in some kind of accident). Talked to a doc, doc ran some tests, found my levels were in the gutter, told me to start supplementing, and then over the course of a few months, this whole auto-immune thing, something I've dealt with my entire life, cleared up. Felt like a magic trick.

IIRC ender crystals can only be placed on bedrock, and a lot of PVP happens on the bombed-out terrain that goes all the way to bedrock.

Sometimes, often, I really just want to search the web. I just want to see what's out there! I have some vague ideas that I am trying to make more coherent and give sharper edges too, and I'm exploring the space those ideas fit into to see what others have done with them. Often I don't have a specific question in mind, and trying to frame my query as a coherent question will be limiting.

As another poster commented, don't take away my agency by trying to predict my intent! Better yet, don't try to force intent on me.

I don't get that at all. Old FORTRAN has a mildly confusing feature that is easy to disable. He then got upset about the mildly confusing feature that everybody now disables. If one wants to bitch about Fortran, at least complain about the modern language (which is still a horror show of poorly defined and often unportable features), not the stuff that has been made obsolete.

I found this repo while looking for an equivalent to Win32 hello world[0] as a learning exercise during a long flight (with my work MacBook instead of my personal Windows machines).

That's something I really like about Windows APIs — I can pick a new programming language I want to play with, as long as there is a way to interface with C I can try to port the Win32 hello world then play around.

Due to speculative out-of-order execution, it's not just "a few cycles". The LSU has a hard, small, limit on the number of outstanding loads and stores (usually separate limits, on the order of 8-32) and once you fill that, you have to stop issuing until commit has drained them.

This discussion is yet another instance of the fallacy of "Intel has optimized for the current code so let's not improve it!". Other examples include branch prediction (correctly predicted branch as a small but not zero cost) and indirect jump prediction. And this doesn't even begin to address implementations that might be less aggressive about making up for bad code (like most RISCs and RISC-likes).
Non-apocalypse. That's the joke.
Note that this is the English-only leaderboard, which you have to manually select when you visit the site. Also the uncertainty on the score is still high, so it may change. But this is undoubtedly the strongest open weights model of any size so far, by far.

People seem to be saying that Llama 3's safety tuning is much less severe than before so my speculation is that this is due to reduced refusal of prompts rather than superior knowledge or reasoning, given the eval scores. But still, a real and useful improvement! At this rate, the 400B is practically guaranteed to dominate.
I picked the wording of my comment carefully… “quack philosophy” is what I said, not “quack philosopher”. That was very, very intentional.

Even with the most charitable Interpretation, it's a tasteless joke. Bing has a history of shoving Copilot down people's throats, and Microsoft has a LONG history of shoving Bing down people's throats. They built it into the God damn start menu, and have repeatedly changed the method to disable it. So even people who have explicitly disabled it will see it pop back up from time to time. Fuck Microsoft.

Right. The people who think Apple should take a stand against the Chinese government simply aren't thinking deeply about the topic. It's just emotions. Freedom of speech good, big corporation bad. If you think any deeper than that at all, it falls apart.

There's no good option for you, there's no good option for Apple. You're supposed to what, not participate in the modern economy because Chinese citizens haven't had freedom of speech for 70 years? Apple's supposed to what, disrupt the manufacturing of the world's most profitable product because China added 2 apps to the list of a zillion they've banned?

This is a problem for governement, not corporations. The US and our democratic allies could exert slow, steady pressure on China, and in fact, that's exactly what we've been doing. It's building. We're re-shoring/near shoring at an increasing rate. Politicians in both parties in the US are now pro-tarriffs, which prior to 2016 both were against them.
One reason for dark matter explanation that I heard is that it is used to explain the same angular speed of star systems in the galaxies.

How often do you need to get support assistance from Apple? Just do what you want. If it means using Obj-C or Swift for ease, do that. If it means integrating another language, do that.
True, but that ends up comparing not so bad to traditional car makers that half-ass their software and then never update it.
> What Does Microsoft Recommend

> Microsoft maintains two synthetic network benchmarking tools, ntttcp (Windows NT Test TCP) and ctsTraffic.

Okay, let's see which of these is compatible with the iperf3 available on my locked-down commercial router (or, alternatively, the test endpoint my ISP provides) …

…it's neither…

…aaaaand we're back to iperf3 on Windows. :-(

As tongue-in-cheek this comment may be, a recommendation for 2 incompatible tools is worth nothing. Iperf is the de-facto standard, if anything the problem is sometimes you have iperf2 around for some reason. If, Microsoft, you want better Windows network stack benchmark results, you'll need to make something compatible with iperf3 (or fix iperf3.)

(It does not matter that ntttcp runs on Linux. I can't install ntttcp on an Ubiquiti router, or ask my ISP to add another test endpoint.)

To be fair, all the actual results of the studies that claimed bad effects of fat have been only about certain particular kinds of fat, i.e. either saturated fat or artificial hydrogenated fat or burned fat.

Unfortunately, such results about certain kinds of fat have been wrongly used to justify bad nutritional advice that any fat is unhealthy.

From my personal experience, I am convinced that eating the wrong kind of fat can be harmful.

For a large part of my life, I had been eating large amounts of dairy products. Some years ago, at a medical consult, I was surprised to learn that I show signs of atherosclerosis.

My best guess was that this must have been caused by eating excessive amounts of saturated fat. Based on this supposition, I have changed immediately my diet. I have stopped eating dairy products and from that day on about 90% of my daily intake of fat is provided by a mixture of vegetable oils, extra-virgin olive oil with cold-pressed sunflower oil in the proportion 5:2 (the latter is added for an adequate intake of linoleic acid and vitamin E). Typically about one third of my daily energy intake is provided by fat.

One year later, there were no longer any signs of atherosclerosis and there was a very noticeable improvement in my peripheric circulation. Since then, my cardiovascular health has only improved, so I presume that my guess about the saturated fat from dairy being the culprit must have been right.
Cognitive impairment is bad, but probably the least of anyone's concerns at 800 ppm.

Is it possible to use to narrow down warrants for DNA samples? Say the police have a sample from a perpetrator and can prove that sample matches samples from a builing AC.

> Be cautious with use of auto. A bit here and there is fine, but too much and code can become unreadable.

Yes, although one place where "auto" should almost always be used is to declare iterators (not that one should be needing them so much nowadays), and I think harmless for range-based for loops "for (auto i : v)" although as you say there's definitely a convenience/readability trade off.

Another thing that’s changed since young boomers roamed the earth is soil depletion. Decades of farming the heartland in the US midwest have used up all the zinc and boron and other minerals in the soil.

Tf are you arguing?

The OTA is the crucial point because as a customer you just don’t care that you wake up one day and your tesla starts displaying PARK instead of an icon after a „recall”. With other vehicles you gotta schedule service and leave it there.
Moreover, from what I've seen, this is an isolated manufacturing escape. Given the perspective of the rapid growth in capacity, with 3 factories coming online in 5 years and 2 million+ total capacity, wouldn't we expect to see more escapes, even from a top performing auto company?
