I think Israel's PR machine is very ineffective. It's swamped by anti-Israeli PR. E.g. where do you get "bombing of hospitals"? How many hospitals in Gaza were bombed? Which hospitals specifically are they, what were the circumstances, what damage did they sustain?
You're confusing declarative with idempotent. Ansible is both, it won't change anything if the state is already what you declared. The nitpicked case you chose, you want the file to have the latest timestamp, this is a valid state to declare.
While street cars were prolific at the turn of the 20th century the horse and buggy was even more prolific. Cars were a replacement for the latter not the former. However as highway systems developed the streetcar became a slower and less convenient method of transport, and especially as the suburbs took off (made practical by the car itself).

If the govt intervenes to get this capability and also declares that this should not be the primary purpose, I guess that would make it a secondary purpose? OK, I feel better now, phew!

I think the contentious tone within the comment combined with the mathematical abstrusity makes it doubly difficult to determine whether the criticism stems from correcting proper high-level-math-other-people-don't-understand or just a personal axe to grind with... someone (openai? sam altman? gradient.ai? meta?).

To those who don't understand the math (or its implications/connections to the shared link here, especially since the link is sparse on details unless you know where to look), I could see how a reader would lean toward the latter and downvote without comment.

Exactly - and it's important to make a distinction between the bots that post comments and posts, and the much larger and more influential bot farms that manipulate content (both promoting and demoting).

Personally, I'm fairly certain it's a difficult cat-and-mouse game, but there's no question that some very popular mods also use bot farms to promote the content they want on the subs they mod.
Walkouts are very different in character. It's a mini-strike, not an occupation. People voluntarily leave their jobs for a day, they don't sit in someone else's workspace and prevent them from doing theirs.

Sure, it's more disruptive to the company because the numbers are larger, but the damage done by each individual ends at not doing their work for the day. It's a statement of "this is what your company will look like if you don't address this" not "we're going to make a scene and hang out in your personal space".

By doing it at work, they are risking high paying jobs, putting their careers at risk. In public.

If they do that thinking the people who control Google will be fine with that and they will still keep their jobs, they are, well, without jobs.

> I guess the big question here is what makes the USofA so poor at delivering functional public transport?

There are I think lots of reasons, but the most salient right now is I think a combination of two reasons. The first is that a lot of public transit enthusiasm is driven by nostalgia for "the good old days" of transit, without much serious analysis as to why those transit systems failed (e.g., blaming GM for killing streetcars rather than realizing they were largely unable to afford maintenance of their systems). And the second is that the US as a whole seems unable or unwilling to look to foreign countries to study examples of successful transit systems, and push for innovations in the past 100 years of transit to be brought to US transit systems.

"The five people were part of a group of about 200 protesters, who on Feb. 26 broke down the door of Zellerbach Playhouse and smashed a window to prevent Israeli lawyer Ran Bar-Yoshafat from addressing a group of Jewish students. Danielle Sobkin, co-president of Bears for Israel, one of the campus groups who invited Bar-Yoshafat, said after the protest that members of the mob grabbed a student trying to attend the event, called him a “dirty Jew” and spat on him."

UN officials don't say it's genocide and anyways they're not the arbiters of that claim. Changing the subject to Hamas is not bad faith. Hamas is the ruler of Gaza, was voted into power, and enjoys support of most Palestinians. It's impossible for Israel to "separate" its war on Hamas from the population within it resides. The ignoring of Hamas by the anti-Israel crowd is what's bad faith.

Do you separate the Russians from Putin? Should we boycott Ukraine from attacking Russians and not fighting directly with Putin? Do you have any other realistic examples that support your idea that somehow we can ignore the topic of Hamas here? Are the anti-Israel protesters being clear about their stance on Hamas and terrorism?

How did you find work as a ghost composer? By having a lot of your own work out there in public?
I always order black coffee with a couple ice cubes (so I don’t burn my tongue). I was visiting family in Charlotte this week and was surprised that their Starbucks had replaced the large canisters of drip coffee with some sort of coffee-on-demand machine that made each cup fresh.

The staff told me that this reduced waste of all the drip they’d through out at the end of each shift/day.

Comically though, the coffee the machine put out was so hot that they were double cupping every order. The lids didn’t fit as snug over a double cup, so nearly every one of my orders dribbled down the cup as I walked out. And of course I went from “wait right here I’ll have your order right up” to waiting 2+ minutes for my cup to be made.

I’m not judging if it makes sense for Starbucks or not — maybe someone did all this math already. It was just a funny example of the ripple effects that stem from a seemingly easy decision to reduce waste, make each cup fresh, which would seem like no brainers.
The convenience factor is the killer app for me. Just loading the pod and pressing a button. Done.

No, that's not it.

In the situation where they are on ECMO, and their removal from ECMO would result in their certain death (as opposed to, say, their recovery, or their transfer to a different life sustaining technology) then they should not be removed except with their consent.

That's an important piece of nuance.
Regardless of how dangerous they actually were, there was a public perception that they were rickety death traps that hit pedestrians and made little old ladies run and jump to get on.
Obviously not all protesters are anti-semitic but you must be willfully ignorant to honestly believe that none of them are. For example, here are some signs that have been found in protests (you can find examples on google):

- "from the river to the sea" -> implies the destruction of Israel

- "keep the world clean" -> seems to imply some sort of "cleansing" of Jews

- "by any means necessary" -> seems to condone violence against Jews

I'm sure you can find other examples very easily.

I will admit that I didn't see anything overtly anti-semitic from the Google protesters specifically. Of course, it seems they were fired for violating workplace rules, not their actual viewpoint.

The energy bandwidth of a charger as opposed to a gas pump is a huge issue right now.

Gas pumps can easily pump up to 10gpm [1], corresponding to 300 miles of charge in 3-5 minutes as opposed to Superchargers, which take 15 minutes to charge enough for 200 miles of driving[2].

When this is improved, it will make BEV's much more acceptable to many people.

[Oct 2021] Rumors of my death are almost as exaggerated as my writing style. Sorry for the delay; I'm catching up.

A Reddit comment claimed that n-gate was sued to stop publishing.
Mispredict penalties == latency of pipeline. Needing to delay decoding/expansion to after figuring out where instructions actually start will necessarily add a delay of some number of gates (whether or not this ends up in mispredict penalty increasing by any cycles of course depend on many things).

That said, the alternative of instruction fission (i.e. that which RISC-V avoids requiring) would add some delay too (I have no clue how these compare though, I'm not a hardware engineer; and RISC-V does benefit from instruction fusion which can similarly add latency, and whose requirement other architectures could decide to try to avoid (though it'd be harder to keep avoiding it as hardware potential improves while old compiled binary blobs stay unchanged), so it's complicated)
Copyright empowers Congress to make a law giving you a limited term monopoly on your words or other creations. Patents do a similar for an invention. Both expire. Until they expire you can buy and sell or rent (license) these rights, and you can bring a civil case to enforce them.

Neither are like, say, a monopoly on a commodity like milk, which can be illegal or against regulations. Search for "patent" and "monopoly" and you will find innumerable actual lawyers explaining the monopoly nature of patents better than I can.
Two things:

- Non code files were counted for both sudo and systemd. That's because I'm lazy, not because I think it influences the result one way or the other (I don't what effect it would have).

- Separate binaries are not separate logical entities. Pointing to separate binaries is a misdirection. systemd is a set of binaries cooperating using RPC (dbus) to yield something bigger than any single binary. The biggest hint they are interconnected is they are in one source ball for a reason: so these binaries can share a lot of code and interact in complex ways.

As for systemd-run being "a separate binary, with a separate memory space, and a separate permissions model", those things didn't protect openssh being hit with the XZ Utils hack via systemd. An unexpected interconnection is more than enough. systemd abounds with interconnections. Being tightly interconnected often gives you greater functionality, and in the case of Run0 I suspect that is going to be a big win because systemd has a lot of process isolation mechanisms built in. But complex interconnected systems achilles heel is security, and that's definitely true here.

>the Israeli PR and propaganda machine is very effective.

Vastly less effective than the competing one, IMO.

There are people that still, to this day, think that Al-Ahli hospital was bombed by Israel and that hundreds of people were killed. It seems to be a widespread belief that Israel is primarily European-descended wheras in fact more than half of Israeli jews are Mizrahi - they were refugees from places like Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco. There are people that shout about globalizing the intifada without having any idea what those words mean.

> Not fully decoded though, since it's enough to look at the lower bits to determine instruction size.

It is not about decoding, which happens later, it is about 32-bit instructions crossing the L1 cache line boundary in the L1-i cache which happens first.

Instructions are fetched from the L1-i cache in bundles (i.e. cache lines), and the size of the bundle is fixed for a specific CPU model. In all RISC CPU's, the size of a cache line is a multiply of the instruction size (mostly 32 bits). The RISC-V C extension breaks the alignment, which incurs a performance penalty for high performance CPU implementations, but is less significant for smaller, low power implementations where performance is not a concern.

If a 32-bit instruction cross the cache line boundary, another cache line must be fetched from the L1-i cache before an instruction can be decoded. The performance penalty in such a scenario is prohibitive for a very fast CPU core.

P.S. Even worse if the instruction crosses a page boundary, and the page is not resident in memory.

Brave would grow more if it stopped stuffing in every crypto blockchain feature it possibly could. I swear, every 3rd update adds some new annoying feature to turn off.

I've been daily driving Brave on every machine and device I have for a year or so now... and I really wish they would have just stuck with the "Privacy Focused Chromium" thing. They've wandered far down this path of "lets just add every feature that comes to mind" and it's really not helping it's usefulness.
The brain certainly could be doing super-Turing computation, but that would overturn quite a bit of physics seeing as how not even quantum computers are more powerful than Turing machines (they're just faster on some problems). Extraordinary claims and all that.

As for equivalency, that depends on how that's defined. Real neurons would not feature any more computational power than Turing machines or artificial neural networks, but I never said it would be a waste of time to talk about their differences. I merely pointed out that the artificial neural network model is still sufficient, even if real neurons have more complexity.

> No neuroscientist thinks that a weighted sum is an adequate (or even remotely accurate) model of a real biological neuron

Fortunately that's not what I said. If the neuron indeed has more relevant complexity, then it wouldn't be one weighted sum = one biological neuron, but one biological neuron = a network of weighted sums, since such a network can model any function.
Haha, thanks! It’s not in the immediate plans, but meanwhile, I'm sure there are some good libraries on npm for that :)
