You have to be careful of citing spec-sheet TDPs because AMD allows their CPUs to boost way above the configured TDP where for apple it’s normally obeyed, and usually not reached unless it’s a mixed cpu-gpu load like gaming.

Pointing to TDP as if it meant anything compared to actual power measurements is usually a mistake. It doesn’t mean anything anymore. I really hate it as much as anyone else, I love architectural comparisons/etc... but you have to look at actual measurements from actual devices in a particular workload. Which, again, is very unfortunate since most reviewers don't do that, certainly not for more than one or two workloads.

Cinebench R23 is also not a particularly great test compared to SPEC2017, Geekbench 6, or Cinebench 2024, and most vendors still haven’t switched over even to the newer CB2024. Generally the older tests tend to give x86 a bit of a boost because of the very simple test scenes/lack of workload diversity.

(I was looking at this when M3 Max MBPs came out and 7840HS was the current x86 hotness etc... just very few reviewers with direct CB2024 numbers yet and fewer with actual power measurements, let alone anyone having any other workload benched... geekerwan and notebookcheck seem to be the leaders in doing the actual science these days... save us, Chips And Cheese...)
I have a friend who has interviewed about 30-40 software engineering candidates for his company (small, publicly traded company from the midwest). He said that FizzBuzz alone is enough to filter out 25% of applicants. The next slight more challenging question will axe another 30-40% of candidates. I think Leetcode hards exist to stroke the egos of select software engineers.

Well here I tunneled multiple TCP connections traffic over a single input/output streams (the SSH shell IO stream).

Basically when you got a single communication channel and it's expensive to create more channels to tunnel multiple TCP streams where each connection get's its on channel, this is when you reach for the muxer.

i.e. here I probably could make it without yamux if instead I used SSH control port(socket? master?) and created many shell IO streams. but using yamux makes it cleaner. Also the server I'm working on is very buggy and you really get like 50% success rate logging in.

I suggest you download this `yamux` utility and play around with it really :)
A coordinated DDoS effort against popular AI front-ends seems like the most likely explanation.
> I don’t see how the issue of repackaging CDS and related products by a financial rating agency has anything to go with the government.

The financial rating agencies are creatures of government regulation.

> If you’re saying that the government forced buyers to abandon due diligence

I said no such thing. I said that government regulations forced lenders to accept more default risk--meaning they were forced to lend to people they would not otherwise have lent to because the risk of default was too high. That's what "subprime mortgages" means, and those were a huge contributor to the crash.
For what it's worth, for security reasons, OpenBSD disables hyperthreading by default.
Probably OpenAI users flooding other services, unintentional DDOS.

Thank you for the correction, I missed that one. At first I thought maybe the one I saw might’ve changed, but a quick trip to the Internet Archive showed it looked like that in April.
The dialects of English (such as Scots) most certainly do not spell words the same as a general rule. The fact that there are slight pronunciation differences between different accents of standard English is not at all the same as writing entirely different words with the same sequence of characters.

For example, the word for "enemy" in Mandarin is "dírén", in Cantonese it is "dik6 jan4", in Shanghainese it is "dih nyin", and in Hakka it is "tit5 ngin11" (including different tone markers, I'm taking these translations from different sites). All of them would write it as "敵人". These words are far more different though than the difference in how an American and Englishman would pronounce "four".
The Gospel is literally the good news of God coming to earth as a man to die for our sins, not the literal words of the Bible. It's this message that is to be shared, not necessarily the exact words on the page, especially because it's going to be translated anyway.

But the Bible does promise that it will be preserved to the letter regardless:

Isaiah 40:8

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Matthew 5:18

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Thanks for sharing! Some of my colleagues are working extensively in the same space (additive mfg/3D printing homes/structures with locally sourced materials), but in a totally different climatic context (desert, sand/earthen construction rather than bio materials), so it’s cool to see this sort of approach taken in a different material! One of the cool parts about the earthen construction via additive processes in conjunction with high diurnal temperature swings is that there is a lot of room for creativity in shaping the structure to promote thermal mass-based temperature control (possibly supplemented with fans to promote more heat transfer), along with other interesting thermodynamic possibilities (eg cavities for insulation, or some natural ventilation pre-conditioning through heat exchange along channels in the thermally massive walls).

It seems like the pre-fab part of this home is a big part of its potential impact in as much as it indicates a much greater potential for scalability.

Awesome work!

Mh, we have a similar thing on our website at work, but people who found serious issues still got compensated.

One big reason to put this out there: Otherwise you get so many drive-by disclosures. Throw ZAP at the domain, copy all of the low and informational topics into a mail at security@domain and ask for a hundred bucks. Just sifting through that nonsense eventually takes up significant time. If you can just answer that with a link to this statement it becomes easier.

It makes me a bit sad that this might scare off some motivated, well natured newbs poking at our API, but the spam drowned them out.

So who controls Gaza now?

Let's see what the Occupation forces have to say about the subject:

“We do have to remember there are more Hamas armed people in the north of Gaza in the places that the IDF has already moved out of than … in Rafah … Those are the IDF’s numbers. This is why the IDF had to go back into Jabaliya and … Zeitoun [a nearby town]. Hamas is controlling all those areas,” Eyal Hulata, the head of Israel’s national security council from 2021 to last year, told reporters last month.

What are your opinions of all the theorems that rely on RH as an excluded middle?

Constructivists reject exmid, saying instead that a proof of "A or B" requires you to have in hand a proof of A or a proof of B. And nobody yet has a proof of RH nor a proof of ~RH. This is important in so-called incomplete logical systems, where some theorems are neither provable nor disprovable, and, therefore, exmid is an inadmissible axiom.

For any transaction in a market, two things are needed

1. price: a number to be agreed upon

2. liquidity: availability of a willing buyer and a willing seller to transact at some price

A seller can set a price for her item very high; even if there are many otherwise willing buyers, no one will buy the item due to the unreasonable price. Conversely, even if the price is fair (by some common metric), sellers and buyers may not transact due to the opaqueness of the market: the sellers and buyers may not know the availability. This is why auction houses/farmers' markets exist: to make the information more available and make the market less opaque.

In a dating market, a dating app solves the problem with (2) liquidity, but it does not help with (1) price. In fact, it makes the problem with (1) price worse by giving people the illusion of choice and availability, inflating their egos and thus asking for unreasonable prices. In other words, expectations for romantic partners are higher than ever, but both economic and social factors contribute to people not meeting these requirements. Japan's NEET phenomenon is a classic, well-studied example of a problem with (1).
Interesting:

The connection between Pale Fire and hypertext was stated soon after its publication; in 1969, the information-technology researcher Ted Nelson obtained permission from the novel's publishers to use it for a hypertext demonstration at Brown University.

The real MUA issue is that for some reasons they are stuck in a deep past. The sole modern MUA we have are not for generic users, like notmuch (-emacs or some other frontend) and mu. We need something offering:

- searching like notmuch/mu, meaning offering a local auto-download of all messages or all messages under specific folders, complete trees;

- being tag-based or at least offering tags and rules to apply them automatically

- offering filtering like MailDrop

- offering piping messages to external tools (like automatic grab attachments and archive them appropriately)

This IS NOT HARD but is made hard due to the actual state of things, against users posses and power to makes anything a service. Thunderbird is not good at all in that sense, it's just another '90s-style MUA as K-9.
The CPU vector performance is important for throughput-oriented processing of data e.g. databases. A powerful vector implementation gives you most of the benefits of an FPGA for a tiny fraction of the effort but has fewer limitations than a GPU. This hits a price-performance sweet spot for a lot of workloads and the CPU companies have been increasingly making this a first-class "every day" feature of their processors.
The GPU uses Mesa and KMS/DRM nowadays. Hardly secret.

It's nowhere near all the way down to the bottom of the stack*, but it is a lot closer... try out Nand2Tetris[1], where you start with a fairly low level construct... the NAND logic gate, and work your way up to a CPU, Memory, and make a virtual PC, then write an assembler and programs for it.

I'm grateful Gary and YC are doing this.

From a communication strategy standpoint, I'm just curious what the thinking was to go with 'Little Tech' to refer to new tech startups? I understand the purpose is to succinctly stand in contrast to 'Big Tech', but the word 'Little' somehow feels a bit more cutesy or infantilizing to me than saying 'Small Tech.'

Or unless you live with elderly who even if not immunocompromised might still get a nasty case. Or unless you work with a community. Or... but of course, as soon as we stop caring about others, many other societal things go out the window as well. I say it because what you folks keep omitting to mention is the benefits for the others in a vaccination program. It's all me me me, and unless you live in a forest (which I think not) it only signals lack of empathy/care/interest in your fellows whatever they are. Which you might be fine with, of course.

1/ Why not wget?

For this project I wanted a consistent file format for my entire collection.

I have a bunch of stuff I want to save which is behind paywalls/logins/clickthroughs that are tricky for wget to reach. I know I can hand wget a cookies file, but that’s mildly fiddly. I save those pages as Safari webarchive files, and then they can drop in alongside the files I’ve collected programatically. Then I can deal with all my saved pages as a homogeneous set, rather than being split into two formats.

Plus I couldn't find anybody who'd done this, and it was fun :D

This is only for personal stuff where I know I'll be using Safari/macOS for the foreseeable future. I don't envisage using this for anything professional, or a shared archive -- you're right that a less proprietary format would be better in those contexts. I think I'm in a bit of a niche here.

(I'm honestly surprised this is on the front page; I didn't think anybody else would be that interested.)

2/ Proprietary format: it is, but before I started I did some experiments to see what's actually inside. It's a binary plist and I can recover all the underlying HTML/CSS/JS files with Python, so I'm not totally hosed if Safari goes away.

As a native speaker of English and having conversational ability in Spanish I would describe both Scots and Portuguese as separate languages. Portuguese feels like it has as much in common with Spanish as Italian or French to me, and I can't remotely carry on a conversation in Portuguese. (Or Scots really, though with the somewhat mutual intelligibility I can speak English or Spanish and maybe that's workable, but I'm definitely not going to understand the Portuguese.)

The pigments fungi produce are so essential to their survival, they can’t defend against pathogens when they are gene edited to stop producing them.

Toothpaste is also far from an inactive substance, there are definitely plausible mechanisms at play with the toothpaste and dye mix that could help suppress/resolve a wart. It would be worth a study, though I’m not sure what one would use to try and achieve a truly inert placebo for comparison without first figuring out what doesn’t work.
