If what they ultimately want is their own walled garden, then wouldn't opening things up be the opposite of what they should do? I mean, it's a lot harder to re-take control that you previously released than it is to hold onto it from the start. Look at Apple's difficulties tighteninng up control on the mac for example. It has to be a very long game. Compare that to the iPhone, iPad, vision OS that have been tightly controlled from the start and they have no difficulties (other than regulatory) holding the reins tightly.
It doesn't. If you buy A DDR5-6400 DIMM it doesn't get updated to 8800. It will stay at 6400. This just means that manufacturers will be able to brand their tested DDR5 DIMMs as supporting 8800. You still need a CPU and Mainboard that has been validated at those speeds. You're going to need a 8700G if you actually want to hit those speeds by the way.
You use big pumps to fill the lock from the low side instead of just opening a valve or the doors slightly. This would then increase the salinity on the lake side and cause whatever problems that would cause.

'As the appeal of “solid” living is waning...'

Is it the appeal of it that's waning, or is it increasingly clear that there will be a generation or two for which 'solidity' is simply out of reach?

So what do you do? Grin and bear it? Hope for a quick improvement to a problem decades in the making?

A common view among Gen Z or younger Millennials I know is that not only will you have a lower quality of life than your parents (and your kids probably will too), you'll have a lower quality of life even to elder Millennials (who happened to enter the housing market 5 years earlier than you).

So, you can either have a severely hampered life here in Canada (due to cost of housing and general COL), where you just kind of scrape by and try to emulate everything you've seen growing up but without any flexibility or safety net... or you can roll the dice and do something more adventurous, like move out to a rural setting in the US, or go further abroad on an adventure.

The article mentions this dynamic but strangely seems to position it as a lifestyle 'choice' akin to whether or not you like riding bikes or rock climbing.

Also, you can't help but cringe at the conclusion saying this is an "opportunity" for "brands" to capitalize on. Great, what an important silver lining!

Not at all. I am all for accommodating blind developers, and blind people in general. I even used to work as a narrator of audio textbooks for blind people and worked on side project apps to help the blind, so I am quite passionate about this.

But I also know that no blind developer would want their sighted fellow developers to miss out on something useful on their behalf, especially not in some kind of preemptive gesture of sympathy.
Only their welted work boots are resoleable, any other will last as long as the tread holds out. Beyond that you work conditions, how much you sweat, temperature, humidity, and whether or not you rotate with other boots will drastically effect the lifespan.

Newsletter platform Ghost adopts ActivityPub to 'bring back the open web'
In my experience the compiler is pretty good at figuring out what is constant so adding const is more documentation for humans, especially in C++, where const is more of a hint than a hard boundary. Devirtualization, as can happen when you add a final, or the optimizations enabled by adding a restrict to a pointer, are on the other hand often essential for performance in hot code.

When the article was written, almost nobody cared about GPUs or similar architectures being really good at parallel computation.

So while he wrote about MIPS, and those have indeed basically stopped significantly improving, FLOPS have continued to improve. And for AI in particular, for inference at least, we can get away with 8 bit floats, which is why my phone does 1.58e13/second, only a factor of x60 from a million-billion.
The locks are all gravity powered. They certainly could operate the locks by pumping uphill instead of releasing downhill, and thus lose almost no water. I expect the expense of this makes it a non-starter.
You can't evaluate plastic production in a vacuum because it's numbers are enormous and will scare anyone. There is a reason though why that article makes no comparisons though.

For reference, the two plastic plants mentioned in the article you linked can emit 3.65 million tons of CO2 per year (about 30% of the nations plastic production annual total). This is a little less than what the average natural gas power plant produces in a year.

And there are about 1000 gas plants in the US. And gas is the least emissive of the power fossil fuels.

So while strictly speaking plastic production does create greenhouse gases, you can basically offset an entire years worth of plastic production emissions with only a handful of wind and solar farms displacing fossil fuel power plants.

Also I don't count burning plastic in lifecycle assessments. That is trivial to outlaw and dramatically pumps emissions figures.
>And we encourage the Google Play 2D app store to come to Meta Horizon OS, where it can operate with the same economic model it does on other platforms.

Did they get told to shove it by Google when they asked through back channels? To even come out and essentially say publicly "they can still get their 30% cut" is just wild to me.

Also of note, they don't mention any license. Is the hope they can avoid the Google antitrust concerns Google is running into that Apple is somehow avoiding?
They mention Steam Link but don't mention it isn't allowed to sell in-app purchases (maybe a decision on Steam's side to be fair; they dont want games on Steam themselves having a "remote desktop" overlay workaround where you buy DLC without paying the 30% revenue tax).
That's equally ludicrous, yes. I didn't read beyond those two.

It's not a moral panic, it's a financial panic. Just people who are worried about their career futures. I'd wager that although this is a divisive issue, the majority opinion is on "Yes more generation please, this is so cool."
The Deuce Editor Architecture (2014)
Deuce is an Emacs-like editor, for the Dylan programming language. It is a descendant of ZWEI, the Lisp Machine's Emacs, and made some interesting implementation decisions in representing the contents of its buffers, which made it easy to then make some powerful features, most notably composite buffers, which are pieced together fragments pulled in from different files, and changes in the composite buffer can then be pushed out to all the source files.

Some more details beyond the above link can be found in this comment [2] from comp.lang.dylan by Scott McKay, the original author of Deuce

People seem to think I have trouble understanding what the terms refer to. That's not my point -- you're right in that they are not complex.

But why is virtual reality associated with small screens and head tracking? Why wasn't Everquest on a CRT "virtual reality"? A lot of software calculates probabilities over some distribution, why isn't all that "artificial intelligence"? Why isn't my Subaru's cruise control and lane keeping technology "autopilot" or "self driving"? Why isn't the elevator controller an "agent"? Why aren't my own servers "clouds"?

I don't need the terminology explained, I'm just tired of it. And I do think in many cases it's meant to be dazzling and marketable rather than mean anything.

What should be evaluated is removing indirection and tightly packing your data. I'm sure you'll gain a better performance improvement. virtual calls and shared_ptr are littered in the codebase.

In this way: you can avoid the need for the `final` keyword and do the optimization the keyword enables (de-virtualize calls).

>Yes, it is very hacky and I am disgusted by this myself. I would never do this in an actual product

Why? What's with the C++ community and their disgust for macros without any underlying reasoning? It reminds me of everyone blindly saying "Don't use goto; it creates spaghetti code".

Sure, if macros are overly used: it can be hard to read and maintain. But, for something simple like this, you shouldn't be thinking "I would never do this in an actual product".
Not mentioned in the paper, but I have been experimenting with behavior trees for LLM agents, and have had a lot of success: https://richardkelley.io/dendron/tutorial_intro/
1% is nothing to scoff of. But I suspect that the variability of compilation (specifically quirks of instruction selection, register allocation and function alignment) more than mask any gains.

The clang regression might be explainable by final allowing some additional inlining and clang making an hash of it.

As others have said, there is nothing low latency about HBM.

Renesas did have a special Low Latency HBM thing at one point, but I don't think it ever saw the light of day.
That's interesting. Maybe final enabled more inlining, and clang is being too aggressive about it for the icache sizes in play here? I'd love to see a comparison of the generated code.

I'm disappointed the author's conclusion is "don't use final", not "something is wrong with clang".

Many artists and digital tradespeople (including developers) are uncomfortable with how current models acquired their training data and how their use of that training data may disrupt real human livelihoods before affected people have a chance to respond or weigh in.

Yes it comes with its problems. The context sensitivity is annoying and it makes creating good tooling hard. But given macros it doesn't worsen the situation much anyway.

For writing a batch parser/compiler that properly reads all the includes too, the context sensitivity is only a theoretical problem. Adding a type table is easy.

Not having to type "var" all the time is very nice on the other hand.
Yeah, me too. It would be really sad if Meta stopped hardware development and left it to other companies.
Whoops, 5 year old. That rules out the Feynman Lectures (free online).

There are some fun experiments at IOP.

Has binaries for everything, including RaspberryPi 3.

https://gcompris.net/index-en.html

GCompris is a high quality educational software suite, including a large number of activities for children aged 2 to 10.

Some of the activities are game orientated, but nonetheless still educational.

Here is the list of activity categories with some examples:

• computer discovery: keyboard, mouse, touchscreen ...

• reading: letters, words, reading practice, typing text ...

• arithmetic: numbers, operations, table memory, enumeration, double entry table ...

• science: the canal lock, the water cycle, renewable energy ...

• geography: countries, regions, culture ...

• games: chess, memory, align 4, hangman, tic-tac-toe ...

• other: colors, shapes, Braille, learn to tell time ...

Currently GCompris offers more than 100 activities, and more are being developed. GCompris is free software, it means that you can adapt it to your own needs, improve it, and most importantly share it with children everywhere.

It's a wonderful experience to further the natural curiosity of a child. I loved every minute of it.
"Opening" what? I can't think of anything here that even remotely resembles opening something to a public or donating a project to any foundation.

They realized they have an asset, and they made some money by licensing it. Sales department did their job, story at 11. But it would've been a boring non-story, so a copywriter used the corporate brandbook - and "open" is the buzzword of the last few years when it comes to the technology.

Someone need to make an LLM SaaS to de-bulshittify the news.
How do you expect that to happen? By sharing memory channels you are no longer using a point to point connection and are now prone to reflections in the PCB traces where you have split the signal. There is no "money" that can be put into this, that won't also improve the performance of the single DIMM per channel setup disproportionately.
I don't even understand what your point is. Quad channel support would be a much better idea since it doubles your memory bandwidth, while remaining a point to point connection, but you're going to complain that you can't add eight DIMMs then.
The problem is that most developers don't not actually understand DRY. They see a few lines repeated a few times in different functions and create a mess of abstraction just to remove the repeated code. Eventually more conditions are added to the abstracted functions to handle more cases, and the complexity increases, all to avoid having to look at a couple lines of repeated code. This is not what DRY is about.
It sounds like ESGs aren't for you then, or at least you want an index that is almost entirely weighted on E scores.

> take precedence over the impact of the actual company

Either you think that social (and to a lesser extent governance) impact is impact or you don't and that will pretty much decide how you view ESGs. It's not as if Elon is ranting in a vacuum where those views don't manifest in real effects in the companies he owns and the wider political sphere. Regardless of how you feel about how S scores as they're currently measured and their worth as an ethical north star Musk companies don't get very many marks. And that's fine -- I think that's the point, it seems very purposeful. It seems that Elon only actually cared when that fact hurt his stock price, not on principle.

And I'm sure investing in 1789 Capital will skew the other direction and that's fine too. You won't hear me saying their indexes are illegitimate because they do what it says on the tin.

Seems like there would be a market in NYC for those e-bikes/scooters that can swap batteries at a kiosk like the Gogoro stuff out east.

I for one would not complain if there was more commoditization of ebike and scooter batteries. I hate that every single ebike company ships their own custom battery solution that is outrageously expensive per watt. I'd also love to see the same thing happen with tool batteries.
So-called socially-responsible investing has been around at least since the 1970s, when anti-Apartheid mutual funds were launched. It seems like the main change with ESG is that larger firms have adopted the concept, with lower fees/expense ratios.

The are only opening things up in their marketing speak. There is not actual opening up happening. "Open" sounds cool, inclusive, and like you are creating a stable platform for others to build on top of (IBM opened up x86, Linus opened up Linux, etc).

Judge by what they do not what they say -- most valid advice in this age of lies.

I can't wait 2500 years, are there hibernation pods anywhere on the ship?
I think there's a distinction. The term came from those who were deliberately avoiding rootedness, and trying to follow a path that (depending on the person) might ideally involve working from a beach one month and a rain forest another.

As the article describes, this choice may be becoming less of a "choice" than a necessity, and in that case we probably shouldn't refer to them as digital nomads. But it doesn't mean that vision doesn't exist for some people.
IMO, what counts as "AI" is one of those "I know it when I see it" things, simply because trying to write a lawyer-proof definition isn't possible.

I'd argue that "AI" doesn't have to be attempting to achieve AGI to be considered AI. For example, "Computer" players in games are AI. This applies whether you're talking something as advanced as a deep strategy game like the Civ series, or something as basic as the ghosts in Pac-Man, or even an automated Tic-Tac-Toe player.

So...is a path finding algorithm "AI"? I dunno. I could go either way.

But like...I seriously can't come up with a real definition of "AI" that wouldn't end up including things that definitely aren't AI. For example, is AI simply any code that seems like it has agency and makes decisions? If so, then is any sort program that triggers execution based on certain detections "AI"? Certainly not. Is it code that attempts to mimic human behavior, even at a basic level? If so, then is AutoHotKey AI? Nope, definitely not.
