At least here, there's a lot of margin built into some use-by dates also. Since they are expecting the cold chain to be broken at least somewhat while you transport that food home.

A lot of stores here also do extreme discounts on things that expire that day or soon after. I've had so many dinners that were basically "oh, that thing's 80% off and I have to use it today. Fantastic."
sounds interesting, is there a timeout? or batch processing?
They don't pay retail for their own vertically integrated products, they likely would have inventory surplus as new retail products move to other chips, and they mature production pipelines primed to efficiently squeeze out additional volume for a new application like this.

Rudolfs – high-performance caching Git LFS server with AWS S3 and local back end
I was trying to find stuff around Oct 2003 when the last event of this magnitude took place, but I wasn't able to find anything comparable. From what I can tell the forecast is more mild on the 12th UTC, so I wouldn't worry that much about that. I was worried in my case because my flight leaves pretty much at the apex of the geomagnetic storm.

I think we can expect delays, GPS being unresponsive, radio issues, and some control tower congestion & issues. Can't really comment with any more detail.

Thank you, Dan, for everything you’ve done for the creative coding community and for coding education in general!

I teach creative coding to kids at a local library, and when the parents ask me what else their kids can do to learn to code, I always tell them to check out your videos on YouTube.

You’re also a celebrity in my household as I have your videos running on the TV in the background while I prepare the kids’ breakfasts on Sunday morning.

I don’t know that I’d rush to call Typescript awesome. It’s only awesome sitting next to JavaScript. Compared to say another modern language (I.e Dart or Kotlin) which has proper typing, compilation and didn’t have to take on all the baggage of that level of JS interop it’s actually quite a shit language.

I use remmina for that. It's simpler to configure. For example, it can export a local Linux directory to a Windows machine as a network share without messing with command line options. Not that CLI is bad, far from me, but it saves the time to learn the options for xrdp.
>I'm not from the US, so i'm honestly curious, does sales tax really change that often?

It changes more often than you'd expect, but it's not daily. Perhaps yearly, but certainly across space too. Government in the US is very "layered." Our states are basically autonomous countries free to set their own taxes. Additionally, many states give sales taxation authority to municipal governments. There's little coordination across states or municipalities, so you might pay 7% sales tax on restaurants and 1% for groceries, then drive across the river to a different city/county and pay 6% and 2% respectively. There are also sales tax holidays where the tax is suspended for a given period within a state, but only for certain items.

Basically, it's very complicated due to the lack of coordination between levels of government in the US.

AFAICT, Apple has three major advantages (note that architecture only has minor impact [1])

- first access to the best process

- a great team

- high bandwidth / latency DRAM

Intel & AMD aren't that far behind on #1 and #2, but I'm surprised at how long it's taking them to catch up on #3. If they created and sold a chip with wide low latency DRAM on package they would simultaneously significantly increase their performance and also they would capture a higher proportion of the BOM cost of a laptop.

Pedantic: AMD's MI300X has on package RAM, but it's not exactly a laptop chip...

I honestly think one of Americas greatest strengths is the ability to move here from where ever and be able to join society with relatively low friction.

People go on and on about racism in America, but I have generally found that those people have absolutely no fucking idea what racism in a society actually looks like. You wanna see racism? Go be a minority in any country with a 90% majority race/culture.

Edit: Invariably people need to confuse "Racism is a bigger issue in other countries than the US" with "Racism never existed in the US".
> Studies suggest that Carrington-class storms occur once every 40 to 60 years, so we're overdue. Don't worry, though. The four CMEs currently en route to Earth--even combined--are probably no match for the monster CME of 1859. The Carrington Event won't happen again this weekend.
You're implying that Robert Sapolsky speaks the truth the contradicts my belief system. Maybe you're thinking I'm Catholic (I'm not) who see free will as a gift from God that allows humans to freely choose to love and obey Him. Catholic doctrine holds that free will is granted to humans by God as part of being created in His image and likeness. Without free will, humans could not be held morally responsible for their actions. The ability to choose between good and evil is fundamental to Catholic understanding of sin and redemption.

No, I think Robert Sapolsky's focus is too narrow and materialistic, ignoring almost everything that makes us human. In the story of the seven blind men and the elephant, Robert Sapolsky is the blind scientist that feels the trunk and proclaims the elephant is a snake. Robert Sapolsky's science is flawed. If human behavior can be explained by chemicals then why do we need his colleagues in other departments at Stanford, such as the psychologists?

My point was he was doing what he does to make money Malcolm Gladwell style and I thought there was nothing wrong with that but that was a reason why I didn't take him seriouly.

I too am a low paid developer. I spent the first 20 years of my life doing skilled trade work and following a blue collar lifestyle. I'm now in my first developer role where my title is "Lead Developer." However, I'm the only developer here and I'm paid poorly.

But it is far better than working in a manufacturing facility or anything else I ever did while working for someone else.

I don't want to be the type of person who says "well, I paid my dues, you should too." I want things to be better for everyone. Now one should have to go through the things I went through as a young man. No one should have to be forced to work 6 days per week 12 hours per day simply to be able to barely make ends meet.

America is simultaneously too big or too small to ever have nice things, according to some.
the way he puts it is very awkward. P(A) == ??? probability of success occuring on first attempt and P(B) == probability of success on second try ? If so, it works P(A or B) = P(A) occurs or P(A) fail (first attempt) and P(B) success (second attempt, you need to fail the first attempt to try a second time). So p(A or B) = P(A) + (1 - P(A))P(B) = P(A)+P(B)-P(A)P(B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A and B)...

Yeah. I'm an open-source maintainer and the "everyone creates a branch on upstream" model is a complete non-starter for me, even if only due to the mess it would cause. This is a massive step backward from "fork and pull."

Try a car analogy on for size: a new Corvette might be superior to a classic Porsche in all the ways that matter, but nobody at GM would greenlight an ad depicting a C8 emerging from a crusher that had just destroyed a '63 911. They would understand how disrespectful it would seem.
Definitely Crypto 2.0.
Im not a skeptical agnostic materialist, but those objects were far from being cheap. Those instruments cost thousands of dollars each. The arcade cabinet as well(there aren't exactly a lot of those left).

The entire point of the ad is that the entire human creative experience is consolidated into the ipad, which is a pretty dystopian way of looking at things. Even if you ignore the cost and rarity of these items, the symbolism is pretty horrible.
If you really cared you could get fanless PCs. A few of the Surface Pro models have been fanless. I had a gorgeous fanless Xiaomi Mi book that had virtually no branding. Basically any fanless PC post SSD introduction are just as silent. From what I've heard some of Apple's newer MBPs with fans can get noisy under load too, particularly the 14".

I wouldn't call my ThinkPad P14s AMD gen whatever loud either. The fan will spin up when multiple cores are under heavy load but compared to the 2018 MBP it replaced it's essentially silent.
Looks like it's using bubbletea, nice!
There would be winners and losers if we switched systems, as with any change. The winners would be consumers and workers in lower-end restaurants where tips are generally small. The losers would be restaurant owners and workers in higher-end restaurants who make good money from tips under the current system. Right now, the potential losers are a lot more vocal and engaged than the potential winners (the system is shitty but not so shitty that most consumers get worked up about it, and low-wage workers just don't have a lot of political power).

So go short AAPL, Jim Cramer. My bold prediction is this ad does diddly to their bottom line. You really think people are going to boycott Apple over it?
"No such thing as bad publicity" directly implies that brand goodwill doesn't have a tangible dollar value.

This is false, not least because this is something companies declare on financial reports.
He does talk about why Apple is doing so well. Architecture, but Apple has IC process, top-level designers, a wide well balanced design and RAM bandwidth advantages.
Hard disagree on this.

I strongly believe that there is a TON of potential for synthetic biology-- but not in computation.

People just forget how superior current silicon is for running algorithms; if you consider e.g. a 17 by 17 digit multiplication (double precision), then a current CPU can do that in the time it takes for light to reach your eye from the screen in front of you (!!!). During all the completely unavoidable latency (the time any visual stimulus takes to propagate and reach your consciousness), the CPU does millions more of those operations.

Any biocomputer would be limited to low-bandwidth, ultra high latency operations purely by design.

If you solely consider AGI as application, where abysmal latency and low input bandwidth might be acceptable, then it still appears to be extremely unlikely that we are going to reach that goal via synthetic biology; our current capabilities are just disappointing and not looking like they are gonna improve quickly.

Building artificial neural networks on silicon, on the other hand, capitalises on the almost exponential gains we made during the last decades, and already produces results that compare to say, a schoolchild, quite favorably; I'd argue that current LLM based approaches already eclipse the intellectual capabilities of ANY animal, for example. Artificial bio brains, on the other hand, are basically competing with worms right now...

Also consider that even though our brains might look daunting from a pure "upper bound on required complexity/number of connections" point of view, these limits are very unlikely to be applicable, because they confound implementation details, redundancy and irrelevant details. And we have precise bound on other parameters, that our technology already matches easily:

1) Artificial intelligence architecture can be bootstrapped from a CD-ROM worth of data (~700MiB for the whole human genome-- even that is mostly redundant)

2) Bandwidth for training is quite low, even when compressing the ~20year training time for an actual human into a more manageable timeframe

3) Operating power does not require more than ~20W.

4) No understanding was necessary to create human intelligence-- its purely a result of an iterative process (evolution).

Also consider human flight as an analogy: we did not achieve that by copying beating wings, powered by dozens of muscle groups and complex control algorithms-- those are just implementation details of existing biological systems. All we needed was the wing-concept itself and a bunch of trial-and-error.
> BTW. Use the AddressSanitizer. Please! The toolchain improved the usage and safety of the language so much.

In general I agree with the sentiment, use AddressSanitizer in testing/debugging. However it's not meant to be a hardening option, AFAIK, so I advise against using it in production (along with other sanitizers), even if you can live with the performance hit.
You can always sue the entity if there's no one to talk to.

> I am a minimalist

I have to laugh when I read blog posts about how people go to great strides to run a "minimal" and lean OS, to then only come to find out that 95% of what they do is in a web browser.

At that point, the OS doesn't even matter any more if it's all web/cloud-services.
> I just feel that it needs to be said that it is incorrect and inappropriate to blame the composition or the rulings of SCOTUS on a specific President.

Not when the President's party controls Congress, at which point their nominees are all but guaranteed rubber-stamp approval, barring token attempts at vetting. It's appropriate to assign responsibility for SCOTUS to the President when the appointment process is controlled by party loyalties that transcend the balance of powers.
