Great question!

Short answer: GPU

Long answer: CUDA

Seriously though. Implementing a full high-level lang in parallel is HARD, so, to simplify it greatly, we made IC nodes 64-bit, which allows us to use native 64-bit atomic operations in many parts of the implementation. Since each 64-bit node has 2 ports, that gives us 32 bits per port. And since we use 3 bits for the tag, that leaves us with 29 bit payloads. We used that space to easily implement unboxed numbers (f24, u24, i24).

That said, we will have (boxed) 64-bit numbers soon! With this foundation in place, adding them is a matter of coding. I just want to have some time to let people use the limited version, find bugs, etc., before I add more stuff.

hello,

* http://kreisky100.at/meilensteine/index.html

or about the person "bruno kreisky"

* https://kontrast.at/bruno-kreisky-biografie/

very essential for the people were social and work related reforms, education (hertha firnberg) and women-politics (johanna dohnal)

ad johanna dohnal - a really remarkable person, on-off part of austrian governmental politics from the 70ties to the 90ties ... the english wikipedia page is sadly pretty empty:

* https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johanna_Dohnal

hertha firnberg - another remarkable women in the austrian politics of the 70ties: in short, she made the (higher) austrian educational system available to people w/o a lot (!) of money (higher education schools and universities, which where very elite prior to her reforms)

* https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertha_Firnberg

the english wikipedia page about her is better than johanna dohnals, but the german version is still more extensive ...

ad parties:

the SPOe back in the 70ties was still a socialistic party - i think they already dropped the revolutionary aspect of socialism back then ...

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party_of_Aus...

the OeVP back then was a "very open to the right", bourgeoise - in its negative connotation - party whose primary "clientel" was - and still is - (very) religious people (christian-catholic), larger companies and rich people.

afaik. it was planned to get the powerplant zwentendorf into operation at a later stage in time, but the famous accident in tschernobyl killed off all those plans by the 2nd half of the 1980ties.

which finally led to the building of the powerplant "Duernrohr"

Not just regulators, I'm a developer in the EU and I find GDPR a great thing. I have yet to find a fellow developer here that disagrees.

Yes, it can sometimes be a hassle to comply with it. But it's a no-brainer that it's a good idea.

The problem with electric leaf blowers is that they're no good for people who need to blow leaves all day; and most of the leaf blowing is (in my experience) contracted out rather than done by home owners.

I have an electric blower that I use for getting leaves off my decks (you can't rake a deck and it's actually a remarkable pain in the ass to brush leaves off a deck) but if I got a contractor in to do my garden (which I don't, they just get mowed over) then they would certainly have a gas blower.

Consent-o-matic takes care of all honest cookie banners out there and opts out for me before I even realize it.

When I run into a website that it doesn't work with, I sometimes use the report function and set it myself.

However, most websites with a cookie banner that's too obstrusive for Consent-o-matic turn out to be useless clickbait LLM spam that's not worth the effort. So most of the time I just go somewhere better and leave the obnoxious cookie wall to itself.

I think it all turned out fine (for the time being) thanks to cookie walls :)

If you want to be able to trust email, you need a trustworthy PKI. If you want to communicate with people who don't or can't participate in the PKI, you need a mail client that rigorously and clearly distinguishes the anonymous from the verifiable.

Given the existence of two parallel email systems, some people will run gateways that create artificial verification of non-verifiable messages. Now you need to figure out reputations for all the gateways.

In the end, you always end up with spam and forgeries.

It will be on a tangent to becoming non-authentic, once AI is added to content moderation and other yet-to-be specified vectors.

I just spent two days in a workshop focused on how AI is going to "revolutionize" my role in the enterprise. Read: button-pusher with a mountain of trivial jobs instead of the unique, authentic perspective my organic computer produces, edits, compartmentalizes and delivers.

It's clear now AI is getting its tentacles into everything. But there need to be public spaces where AI is not the interface. Otherwise what's unique, valuable and interesting about public forums full of tasty authentic data to crunch up and spit out will wither and die.

>a rake and I would appreciate if more people would use one.

Most of the leaf blower noise in neighborhoods is cleaning up tiny grass clippings off of driveways and sidewalks instead of handling the Fall season's dead leaves, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak5VoB-ceeU&t=0m06s

Rakes don't help with grass cuttings. People could use brooms to sweep up the grass but homeowners and lawn crews don't do it that way because -- like the rake -- it requires more work and takes a lot longer than using noisy blowers.

What was the source of the complexity? I haven't used protobuf for any production code, but the concept seems pretty straight forward.

I do see how it could be premature optimization, as JSON is even quicker to get up and running, and the overhead of bigger payloads and parsing costs isn't relevant until you've achieved some scale.

Isn't it normal for power plants to generate slightly more than demand so they don't waste power? 6.3gw seems like a lot of overhead.
> But regulator obviously didn't know how cookies work, what they are good for, what they are bad for and whatever they try to outlaw now gets correlated via different means. User-agent, ip and some other browser fingerprinting.

The regulators are very aware of it, that's why the law doesn't say anything about cookies. You'd know that if you cared to read it. It's only been 6 years, and the law can be read in it's entirety in an afternoon or less. So I see why the task of actually learning anything about GDPR beyond what the industry tells you to seems insurmountable to most IT people.

"Lived experience" usually means first hand knowledge and experience, as opposed to the knowledge or information they would gain from external sources.

So, understanding this meaning, I hope it's quite obvious that lived experience is much different for people today than ancient people. Our technology is far more advanced, more information is available to us. And it is all influenced by the vast amount of information that is external to us which puts our first hand experience in different contexts.
> they use big data/AI/custom systems to manage everything from prediction fashion trends, managing the supply chain and customising the user experience.

Please elaborate, ideally with citations that provide sufficient technical detail.

Whereas, in my head:

“Big data” means “we tried to use Hadoop once” or “who needs a DBA? Just load everything into a Snowflake account”

“AI” means “we proxy ChatGPT and start all chats with “You are a helpful fast-fashion retailer…””

“Custom systems” is what every company has, and could be anything from giving the CEO a custom-built RGB-lit gaming rig as a desk PC, to a core company workflow using Excel macros, to what AWS is to Amazon; I can’t say I’ve heard of Shein launching SheinWebServices so that narrows it down somewhat.

That they're a form of malicious compliance to do anything except for comply with very reasonable laws.

Cookie banners predate the GDPR by like, a decade anyway. They were the soft attempt to get tracking companies to back off; instead, tracking companies just attempted (and mostly succeeded) at tiring out the user.

I highly recommend the Consent-O-Matic extension to fully reject all that crap automatically[0] in lieu of corporations properly complying with the law and accepting the general rejection signals like DNT and GPC.

I know you're semi-trolling (and I kinda agree they will definitely eventually use these for things that are "illegal" like grills and speed checks, etc.)

BUT: Let's think of the positives here. If a 911 call comes in and it will take 5-8 mins to get an officer on the scene but 90 seconds to get a drone there to see what's happening, is that really a bad idea? I think the plan isn't to stop using officers - it's to get a drone on scene so the officers are better prepared when they arrive.

Here's a timely bit of new research:
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adk0002

Summary (my paraphrasing):

They partially figured out how two neurons (AVA, AVB) control forward and backward movement, previous theories assumed one neuron controlled forward and one controlled backward, but that didn't correctly model actual movement.

They found that AVA+AVB combine in a complex mechanism with two different signaling/control methods acting at different timescales to produce a graded shifting between forward+backward when switching directions, as opposed to an on/off type switch (that previous models used but didn't match actual movements).

Interesting learnings from this paper (at least for me):

1-Most neurons in worm are non-spiking (I had no idea, I've read about this stuff a lot and wasn't aware)

2-Non-spiking neurons can have multiple resting states at different voltages

3-Neurons AVA and AVB are different, they each have different resting state characteristics and respond differently to inputs
Ugh Teams = Microsoft. They are the worst when it comes to data privacy. I'm not sure how that is even a choice.
> Im pretty sure we both agree that equality should not depend on the look of the character, as you said you prefer byte comparison.

My position is that "string equality" is a meaningless term on its own, that different contexts require different notions of equality and that none of these is fundamentally better than any other. "the strings look the same to a human", "the strings are represented by the same bytes on a wire/disk", "the strings represent the same characters even if encoded differently", "the strings represent the same word to a native", "the strings represent the same street name to a native", "the strings represent the same human name", etc are all just as valid concepts of "string equality" and are useful in different more or less narrow contexts.

Your point that the need for normalization is just an artifact of the encoding is fair enough, but there are still valid contexts, even beyond pure byte comparisons, that require these to be considered different - if nothing else, then at least in posts explaining this very difference.

> If I give my string comparison function different strings containing the same characters, but encoded in different ways (for example UTF-8 and UTF-16), I would expect the function to tell me they are equal, because the function is supposed to compare the string content, not the way it is encoded in memory.

A perfectly valid equality, just like many others I mentioned.
I think that double cost is about the right price if you want market operators to offer AC charging. I don’t know exactly what we paid to install 8 Chargepoints at our office (and we offered market-rate electricity, no markup, but I’m also pretty sure we got grants to install the chargers), but it had to be $10K per 2 charging spots (and likely more, as the GW1 itself is $7200).

Making about a break-even return on that upfront expense means making $40 in markup per spot in a typical month. Thats $2 per workday per spot, meaning around a 100% markup on 10kWh of electricity or ~40 miles of range every day every spot.

That seems doable, but doing 80 miles of range every day every spot (to cut the markup in half) does not.

This one hit pretty hard. I am not a cancer patient who is missing a life saving treatment by 10 years, but it does feel like we are living in a sort of liminal space between religion and technology.

Don't get me wrong, I do believe that behavioural approaches should be tried first. On the other hand, framing the failure of behavioural approaches being the result of not making a genuine attempt is harmful. It may dissuade them from finding more effective treatments for their particular case, or at the very least delay them seeking help.
Innovation? You mean build a customer facing website, built a logistics platform to track inventory/receiving/shipping, built management tool for tracking vendors/suppliers? Excluding AWS, what tech innovation did Amazon do?
I find it interesting that the folks running away screaming from protobuf are using it in conjunction with gRPC. Is the problem really with the wire format or is it a problem with all of the stuff above?

I've been using protobuf for a (non-web) hobbyist project for some time now and find it fairly straightforward to use, especially when working across multiple implementation languages. For me, it seems to be a nice middle-ground between the ease of JSON and the efficiency of a hand-rolled serialization format.

It is increasingly difficult to find laptops that even have a 2.5" bay. The drive for thinness makes it a tough sell, especially since the primary storage is always going to be a M.2. You basically only see them on aircraft carrier "gamer" laptops that are already huge because they need a massive cooling system for the graphics card.

If you're talking about upgrading old laptops where it only has a 2.5" bay that's even worse. Windows 10 and later absolutely hates running on 2.5" spinning drives. It can take literally 30+ minutes to log in due to the amount of thrashing it does.

There are a few Airbnb places around where I live and they aren't a problem - just not the kind of town people come to to party.

When I'm by myself I prefer a hotel. Much more convenient. Usually cheaper unless you take a room with someone and I'm not that social.

With family, Airbnb, and like options, are far better. Hotels are atrociously expensive for a family of 5. They provide facilities that you don't really need. You want to cook, have a parking space, and do laundry. Even the cheapest hotels are more expensive than an ok Airbnb and give you less space. I mean, really it's the difference between being able to go at all or not, and I appreciate that the call for less Airbnb is also the call for less tourism in general.

I doubt that this was a major concern as US nuclear weapons have been stationed in Germany since 1960. They remain under US control but the German army is trained to use them in the event of a war. And of course Soviet nuclear weapons used to be stationed in East Germany during the cold war. So for practical purposes Germany was already nuclear-armed.

But who knows. This was 15 years after the end of WW2. It wouldn't be too surprising if there had been lingering fears in Russia about what Germany might be up to outside of NATO.
