>What am I missing? What should an old fart who's becoming convinced things were better in the old days put myself infront of?

I think no reply are really getting at this question.

If you consider the two latter Miyazaki movies not being included, I think "greats" to you must be something that is "very unique and distinct from the western (animated) movie but also distinct enough from its own (anime) peers".

If you see it that is way, Howl's was not distinct at all (based on a UK book & doing what worked in spirited away) and boy and the heron (essentially reusing expressions from all the works of Miyazaki).

I think you're just looking for that "wow" factor again. Something that put your mind at edge because your brain couldn't predict what will happen next, because they don't follow usual (selling) clichés in story telling or cinematography.

I don't think many anime of today really have that. The only one I can think of is the original Evangelion but that's quite old now too. Maybe Attack of Titan, Pluto, but that's a bit subjective.

I can think of multiple Mangas that would fall in to that. Mangas allow more artistic freedom because it's made by a smaller team, and requires smaller fan base so can be bold in trying new expressions. But might lose its charm when (if) adapted to animation. Ghost in the shell mentioned in the original post too, is Very different from the Manga. (source material) and to people that really got intrigued by the deeper theme about consciousness they might prefer the Manga more.

I haven't watched it myself but maybe the recent adaptation of Junji Itos horror might fall under that "wow" category. His style (in writing) is very unique.
How is this deal related to the iPad ad you linked?
There is at least one MOND that is still kicking around not affected by recent observations. MOG I think its called.
If you assume that there's an even chance of getting caught (e.g., if searches are random based on the traveler) then fewer larger trips reduces the number of times your agent is caught.

Given that it seems reasonable to assume risk is correlated to the number of people caught rather than the amount of money caught (which is the same either way) it seems like fewer largers trips could be rational.

I guess the more trips you make the more people you have to involve as well. If you have 1 person make 10 trips a year that's a lot easier to hide than 10 people making 10 trips a year etc.,
Acquire/release is higher level because it is more of a theoretical description than an hardware description. But acq/rel is not implemented using fences on x86. On this arch all loads and stores have implicit acquire and release semantics respectively, while all RMW are sequentially consistent acq+rel. The compiler will need to emit explicit fences very rarely on x86.
Funny, in my city the 90s transition from communism to free market economy was accompanied by a big reduction of homelessness, drug addiction and untreated mental illness.
> Most airports worldwide, including in the U.S., don’t scan passenger luggage for cash, a costly undertaking in equipment and personnel.

I think this is false. Anytime I've flown with cash in my checked in luggage, it was always stolen and it was obvious someone went through my suitcase. Then I stopped doing that obviously. (happened in U.S. and Indonesia)
Yes, having worked on one of the out-of-order Intel CPU's, I can tell you that you are correct. Instructions may be "complete", as in their results can be forwarded to later operations, but the instruction isn't "retired" until it is known that it can not raise an exception, or be cancelled because of branch mis-predict, etc. Programmer-visible architectural state as defined in the ISA is not written until instruction retirement. CPU re-ordering instructions is not going to change semantics (in X86 and similar architectures... there are some archs that relax that guarantee).

Compilers are notorious for doing dumb things around locks.... the gnu C for AVR architecture, for instance, looks at the SEI instruction (SEt Interrupt mask bit) and notices that it doesn't modify memory or registers, so hoists it to the top of functions. Eh.. No, SEI; CLI; <code> <critical section> <code> is not what I intended...

Also... CPU's with data caches can to smart things with architecturally-defined locking instructions such as "test-and-set' or 'compare-and-exchange' such that the instructions are always cache-coherent across CPU's. If you try to roll-your-own locking code, you had best understand how the cache invalidation mechanism works in your chosen CPU or you are going to have a bad day.
The rich aren't Scrooge McDuck or Smaug. They didn't have swimming pools full of cash and gold. They are wealthy because the vast majority of their wealth are investments. They own large portions of companies. Sure they may have an expensive estate or three and a yacht and private jet, but that is s small portion of their wealth. This is actually one of the reasons I dislike a wealth tax.
That will not help. There are already aimbots that work only off video feeds.

This is a well-known phenomenon in Nordic countries I believe. There is a verb "narskua" in Finnish which is only used to describe the sound of walking on snow in below freezing temperatures.

Google AI tells me:

"The Finnish word narskua translates to "crunch" or "scrunch" in English. It's an onomatopoetic verb that describes the sound snow makes when you step on it in very cold temperatures"

So don't use an LLM that always affirms your assertions. Easy peasy.

I don't understand your beef. My awkward dialogue was just to demonstrate that the LLM can pick up on all of these things you claim it can't. The LLM wouldn't "believe it didn't have a friend", why would you think that?

It's also fine to just enjoy on-rails games with a prewritten story, those will still exist. You might even enjoy the epic stories that people create in these new sandboxes and share with the world.

Note that writing 64 bits and reading 32 (or viceversa) is not a way to get around fences on x86. It is explicitly documented as begin undefined. In most cases it will fail to store-forward that will stall and act as an implicit fence, but in some cases the CPU can do partial store forwarding, breaking it.

AFAIK this trick does work on SPARC though.
Simple answer:

a) Raids in the West Bank are numerous and increasing, including a few in December where the IDF seized a bunch of money from exchange shops[1] (I don’t know why they did that), and a very big one in March where they killed a 16 year old child[2].

b) Palestinians in Gaza is a group (or peoples), and as such subject to Genocide on their own. One does not need to target every Palestinians for it to count as genocide. Bosniaks in Srebrenica was a group which was targeted during the Bosnian Genocide. The Srbska army did not need to target every Muslim Bosniak for it to constitute genocide.

I don't think you're being a dick, I agree with most of what you wrote here.
Christopher Strachey the designer of CPL deserves a shout out. He also wrote a very early checkers program, invented time sharing, created denotational semantics with Dana Scott, came up with the idea of L values and R values, and coined the term currying.
The main draw for LLM-powered sandbox games will be sharing YOUR stories with other people.

There will also be extensive structure and curation to these games. It will just be elements that you can play with as you see fit, much like Minecraft.

They've been losing out to cheaper food competitors. Per latest news sounds like they realize they need to provide better value and lower price.

But other companies have no interest in lowering prices and say so in their quarterly reporting. Think Tapestry was one recently.

> As to why the UK government doesn't pass a regulation that airport security is also responsible for detecting large amounts of cash, I have no idea.

Shouldn't law abiding citizens have the right to possess and carry cash?
I think it is just a generational difference. I learned lock-free programming during the standardization of the C++0x memory model and I do find acq/rel a simpler model to understand and analyse algorithms, while thinking in term of reorderings never clicked for me.

Why would you ever pay a premium? It’s worth at most the cost of a new ticket; the discount is because you’re offering liquidity. The only way it could command a premium is in convenience.
As a British citizen, I'm quite happy with the detection of money laundering not being a responsibility of airport security. It might initially make sense to check for cash, because once the money leaves the country it's much harder to track. Yet, that's the same for any time a criminal leaves the country - should airport security be responsible for checking your cases for stolen goods?

Imposing such duties onto airports will be expensive. Smaller airports in Britain are already running at a tiny fraction of their capacity, with only London, Manchester and Edinburgh operating any serious services. A particularly striking example is Cardiff Airport: it can accommodate A380s, but you'll have to be patient if you want to spot a widebody airliner there. It's not really worth the extra equipment and staff to search for money laundering in these quieter airports, and the costs would probably force them to shut down entirely if not funded by the taxpayer.

This situation of reduced capacity is not entirely theoretical, either. Before boarding Eurostar railway services through the Channel Tunnel, passengers have to go through security which includes passport control, customs and X-Ray (for luggage) and millimetre band scanners (for passengers). The introduction of these checks reduced capacity by a third, meaning that the Eurostar trains run with empty seats, when other trains running domestic services on the very same line can be crowded. It's about to get even worse now that Britain and the EU are introducing incompatible facial recognition systems that gate the entrances.

As you can tell, I'm rather passionate about this issue :) I just think it's important that borders don't become the de-facto location on which all types of law enforcement converge, and for border security to be so entirely out of proportion with domestic policing.

Hell yeah. Linear algebra was a hole in my math education and has turned out to be far more relevant to my work than the calculus I spent so much time on. I’ve been teaching myself piecemeal on an as-needed basis but this looks like a great opportunity to finally get a cohesive overview.
That’s why I said it sounded like massive overreach.
This is true. Even at mid levels of faceit, people throw full executes and run around clicking heads easily.
> - explaining this with dark matter is easy

Well, attributing it to dark matter is easy. It's not really explaining anything though, until you can say what dark matter is and why it's there. At this point it's basically just an abstract parameter that we assume, without any direct evidence, is in fact some kind of matter and not, well, something else. Maybe spacetime just have different geometry in different places? Maybe the assumption that it would be flat in the absence of matter is wrong? It could very well be that the neutral shape of spacetime in some places is more or less curved than we currently assume.

Then there are fun ideas like large masses permanently deforming spacetime. Going with the famous rubber mat analogy, what if the mat gets permanently stretched and even once the mass that stretched it is dispersed the sag remains?

That's of course assuming there even is such a thing as spacetime. Which, btw, sounds like a reasonable assumption. However, just because the math works doesn't mean it's a physical reality, it merely points to it.
The point I was making is more that just because you can use X amount of energy or resources doesnt mean you might want to.

Therefore - why expect advanced civilisation to be detectable? Just because you could be type 3 doesnt necessarily mean you have to be.

Arguably you might _not_ want to - considering 3 body problem game theory and potentially accelerating the heat death of the universe.

Or maybe they all just leave. Or maybe they don't exist.

So to say its fantasy is essentially assuming we've proved a negative. That's not a hugely rational position to take.

You’re describing standard liquidation preference. There are shenanigans Boards can get up to, but assuming you’re incorporated in Delaware, there are limits.
> proficient within 500-800 hours of playtime

Depends on the definition of proficient.

It would take someone of great natural talent to get to global in 500 hours.
This is a fair point but orthogonal to the one I was responding to. In any case, a lot of Flatpak's sandbox can be overridden at build time. The sandbox will protect the user against bugs but not as much against a malicious developer.
I guess it depends on your definition of "destroy Social Security", but mine would include the efforts by Republicans to privatize it during the George W. Bush administration.

Idolizing and elevating some individuals or groups above others in a cringe-worthy fashion isn't exactly a new thing in media. It's not unlike music fandoms.

Given this is the Wall Street Journal, the author either really likes Wall Street and Silicon Valley, or writing the press article equivalent of a handjob is just what pays the bills.
What you're describing is pointers and value semantics. Rust (and C and C++ and to some degree Go) has those. Java does not.

Pointers and value semantics are nice, but have nothing to do with ADTs. For example, in Rust, you can also do:

let mut ex: i32 = 42;
println!("{ex:?}"); // 42

let ex_ref: &mut i32 = &mut ex;
*ex_ref = 53;

println!("{ex:?}"); // 53

And in C:

int x = 42;
printf("%d\n", x); // 42

int* x_ref = &x;
*x_ref = 53;

printf("%d\n", x); // 53

In these examples, we haven't mutated the number 42 into the number 53. We've simply stored an entirely new value in the location of `x`. In your Rust example, you're doing the exact same thing with an ADT. The variant case isn't being changed. You're creating a new value and storing it in an existing storage location. Every pointer pointing to that storage location sees the update because they all point to the same storage.
I've listened to it to the point of running out of decent new episodes.

It's doing an extra-long format that not many people do, there's lots of research, lots of enthusiasm, narratives of some plucky underdog taking over the freaking planet, a mixture of business and history, and it's just executed well. Also a decent chunk of obligatory and shameless shilling.

Never struck me as something "the smartest people in the room" would listen to. More seems like it would appeal to the aspirational and/or nerdy set, the crossover with the Hacker News audience has to be huge.

That and the fact that TSLA is nothing but an Elon Reeve Musk enrichment machine based on the hype of the day he keeps chasing.

This all token business is very shady, and the whole probability theory. You add token here and there and magic happens. Discreet math people can not take this lightly. Stochastic regexes is one thing, but this on a completely different level of mathematical debauchery.

Plain text means any intermediary can read the data. Encrypted (without e2ee) means only you, the service provider and the recipient can read the data. e2ee means only you and the recipient can read it.

Do we agree on that?

If so you must agree that "any intermediary" like a ISP, network provider or similar being able to read or modify the data is strictly worse than just "you, the service provider and the recipient", right?
I've developed a website that features a straightforward form. Visitors can enter their email along with a brief description of a website idea they have in mind. Behind the scenes, I've integrated an AI web-generator tool that can bring these ideas to life based on a single prompt.
Once I receive their input, I collaborate with a designer to add some unique touches—like adjusting colors, swapping images, and crafting a creative logo. Then, I capture a screenshot of the website and share it with the clients. This draft can serve as a starting point or even the final product. The generated websites are built-in with contact forms or subscribing to newsletters to generate leads. When the website is transferred to the client, basic web-editor tools are available to change colors, text, images and also add/remove sections.
For complex needs, we offer the expertise of software engineers for custom requirements, at an additional cost, which is where we make our profit.
It's called pagepalooza.com - Do you think the website reflects the idea clearly? What do you think of the idea as a whole? We already have multiple clients and looking to grow the platform and start a big marketing ad campaign.
Could the US implement something like Australia’s superannuation? Every year, x% of your wage is put into a fund you choose, which invests according to your choice of strategy.

That's a graph of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, not human emissions. It won't look exponential until the magnitude of human emissions exceeds the magnitude of the natural carbon cycle by several times. Give it a decade or three.
How does it work? And what’s the evidence that this is true? People love to say this but I’ve never seen anyone go beyond the surface on the took. The impression I get is it’s mostly people who don’t know what they’re talking about repeating a pleasing idea.
It's not documented as being undefined; it's simply not documented at all.

Intel's latest uarch does partial store forwarding.

There was a paper from a few years ago trying to define semantics for mixed-size accesses (not for x86 though) https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pes20/popl17/mixed-size.pdf

I don't think the parent was talking about this, though; they were just talking about using a single large physical location, which logically contains multiple smaller values. Accesses to a single location happen order, so there is indeed no need for fencing between accesses to it. Usually you get a full 128 bits (at least amd64/aarch64/ppc64; not riscv yet but I expect they will get there).

That said—mixed-size can be useful despite the lack of semantics (I think linux uses them in a few places?). sooo
Well yeah. But there’s no real analysis in tfa.

One thing I think is interesting, though: older folks who were used to cable barely cared about streaming, it was like they didn’t even notice how mass media advertising every few minutes was so intrusive and mind numbing that you could almost hear your brain dying.

The youngest generation that grew up with YouTube before their parents let them mess with Netflix in the den was actually conditioned the same way.

The generation in the middle is the most horrified now: we saw the world actually improving, noticed it, and saw it snatched away. I bet lots of us are retreating to audio books for our main entertainment. and probably that will soon be on the enshittification track with ads injected as if it were a podcast.. just wait until the catalogs are beefed up and the competitors are all consolidated.
That's certainly their prerogative, but I guess what I'm really trying to say is it's weird that they're so bent out of shape about a distro maintainer using a build option they added to their own code. Especially when said maintainer set it to the default they themselves set. If you were to download the source from github and follow the instructions in INSTALL.md which specify "Recommended CMake Build Parameters" you will end up with a binary with the exact same feature set as what the debian package now has.

>> none of these features are plugins.

I wasn't going to comment on this because it's a bit petty and is ultimately a boring semantic argument, but since you quoted it in a reply to me I will. Their CMakeLists.txt literally refers to these as plugins in the description of the XC_ALL param that was changed: "Build in all available plugins"
