You need lots of muscle mass to be overweight.

Losing weight means losing the muscle “scaffolding” also.

Until I see proof that these drugs result in dramatically more muscle mass loss, I’m going to assume the argument is FUD.

I have often thought that in the future, there'd be a machine that you could scoop raw earth into (like "Mr. Fusion" in the movie "Back To The Future II") -- any kind of raw earth -- and the machine would automatically separate the raw earth into its constituent elements...

Now, such a device would probably seem a little bit far fetched...

But the first step in making such a device, if it could ever be engineered, would be to melt the inserted raw earth into a hot liquid state. (From this hot liquid state further chemical refinement processes could be completed, such as scooping out heavier elements from the bottom and lighter elements from the top of the liquid. Any emitted gasses could be captured and cooled down, liquified, etc. From there further chemical refinement processes of the liquids could take place, ultimately resulting in refined Elements being output...)

This technology -- the ability to "melt rocks" (aka, the ability to melt raw earth, any raw earth notwithstanding its chemical composition) might just enable the taking of that first step to creating such a machine...

Such a machine, should it ever exist, would find great application on Mars in the future, should it ever be able to get there...

Anyway, I wish this company a lot of luck in their endeavors!

My (naive) understanding is that capacitors charge very quickly, but also discharge very quickly. If you want to store a lot of power and deliver it all at once, then capacitors are good fit.

Phones, however, need a steady flow of low power, rather than a short-lived spike of high power.

Stunning lack of empathy (and a healthy dose of DRTFA) on display in the comments. The point isn't that undesirables get cleaned up during Olympics, it's that it's being done in a way that's not humane. There are support networks in place that people are being ripped out of and not being replaced.

People say this, but it’s a trite trivialization of the architectural choices made beyond just the ISA.

When AMD/intel have moved to the same or comparable nodes, they’re not catching up for perf/watt. Lunar Lake will be on the same N3E as M4, so we’ll have to see how it compares.
The energy densities are generally at least an order of magnitude lower and the cost is at least an order of magnitude higher. They serve different purposes.
This is both a fair comment and a little misleading at the same time. It is more of a communication problem really.

For desktop apps, there has been Windows Forms, WPF, WinRT, UWP, and now WinUI. You could even argue that MAUI is the latest.

Sounds like a lot! And it is.

That said, it is more of a naming and communication problem than a technology one.

Things like Qt and GTK have undergone similar or even worse disruption but it does not seem as bad because of the naming.

Take WinUi. It is really the exact same GUI API as UWP. Mostly a namespace change. And UWP was just an attempt to bring the WinRT API to more platforms. The Open Source UNO Project allows you to use WinUI cross-platform.

And even in MAUI, it uses WinUI on Windows.

Really, the C# GUI API for desktop apps has not changed since 2012 ( Windows 8 ).

And the core UI concept is XAML with bindings and MVVM. Those were all introduced with WPF way back in 2006. While WinUI and WPF are not the same API, they are not so different from a dev perspective ( use not architecture ).

And of course WPF is still supported. In fact, Windows Forms is not only fully supported but gets updates now and then. Windows Forms was released in 2002. You can start a new app in Visual Studio today on the latest .NET that uses the same GUI framework as an app in 2002! That is actually some pretty damn impressive UI framework stability when you think about it.

Now detractors may be screaming. What about Silverlight? Or Xamarin Forms, or Blazor? Or Web Forms?

Well, I am not going to make this longer going through web frameworks. I hope we can all agree there has been a lot of churn there on every stack. That said, Web Forms, introduced in 2001 are still supported! ( on .NET Full Framework ).

And on mobile, Xamarin Forms is just the old name for MAUI. This also uses XAML, so it has a lot in common with everything from WPF to WinUI.

Anyway, I wish it was all better too. But it is not as bad as it seems. Mostly, Microsoft just sucks at naming and messaging.
> Another striking advance is the migration in the P-core database from a 'sea of fubs' to a 'sea of cells'. This process of updating the organization of the P-cores substructure moves from tiny, latch-dominated partitions to more extensive and ever larger flop-dominated partitions that are very agnostic as things go.

I like to pretend I know a thing about CPU design, but I have to admit, I have no idea what's going on here.
> "this person is wrong, why don't they see how wrong they are"

Each person, company, industry, street, city, country, state, country, ..., each thing has their own viewpoint from their own vantage point and will most likely see, interpret, view what's being conveyed differently than the sender.

Each person has their own view and it's valid, i just may not agree with it, but i still want to understand why they think / believe / convey that.

at the same time, i'm obtuse and sometimes forget to look outside myself. :|

Yes. This is why you should always use context managers and finally blocks in languages with exceptions. Always assume that anything can fail at any time and accept that not everything can nor should be recovered from.

On the other end of the spectrum you have go, where in fact every line does need to have their error conditions explicitly checked. How do they handle this situation?

What is dangerous with finally-blocks is if they start consuming a lot of time, such that the timeout interruption itself makes the timeout miss its deadline. Usually you need 2 timeouts, one for the main operation and a second for the cleanup.
I'm very interested to see independent testing of cores without SMT/hyperthreading. Of course it's one less function for the hardware and thread scheduler to worry about. But hyperthreading was a useful way to share resources between multiple threads that had light-to-intermediate workloads. Synthetic benchmarks might show an improvement but I'm interested to see what everyday workloads, like web browsing while streaming a video, will react.

That's a very charitable reading. In my reading, the dismissive tone of the "security" arguments implies there's something obvious that MS should have done better specifically security-wise. If there's no such better implementation, then security has nothing to do with the argument, and they should stop talking about it. If they wanted to make a more nuanced argument about how there's no way to make a secure implementation that provides the smooth UX people will actually use, I would respect that a bit more, but I'm not seeing either that particular claim or the evidence to back it up in the mainstream commentary.
Absolutely. As a great example, code that was architected to use either poll/epoll/kqueue/etc and IOCP under Windows was in a great position to just adopt io_uring without much rearchitecting!
I have in past roles. We never leetcoded anyone where I’ve been an interviewer. One place where I guided it my approach was to attempt to learn something from the candidate—this not-infrequently led to my being the only person (they claimed) to have ever e.g. engaged them in a conversation about a paper they authored and listed on their résumé. Which, wtf, how do you not get curious enough to skim that before the interview and ask a couple non-stupid questions about it?

I don’t exactly have a dataset (who does? A few Bigcos but most interviewers are working with tea-leaves and guesses) but I really liked the “try to learn something” approach and would use it again. It helps that I don’t know much so it’s pretty easy for me to find something I don’t know that the candidate can teach me about, I suppose—maybe this doesn’t work so well for people who know a lot and also aren’t good at faking not-knowing things.

I am with you. The NeXT APIs were so good for the time. The real missed opportunity was that macOS essentially uses those same APIs to this day.

This is a great article and is useful for putting tech into perspective in a modern context.

The quote about the emperor not needing the steam engine because he already has slaves to do that work for free is an excellent one. It neatly demonstrates the role of technology as a tool for liberation. From the perspective of the emperors of past centuries, our modern world is, in many ways, worse than theirs. So of course the emperor would never approve of such technologies; even if you showed them a crystal ball and removed all the risk, they still wouldn't want it.

There are parallels in the modern age. You don't need an emperor to get the same effect. With our centrally controlled monetary system, there are strong Cantillion effects which cause wealth compounding; this creates an increasingly strong incentive for people to service the rich and an increasingly weak incentive to service the poor. So we are somewhat in a situation where those who have money in tech think "Why do we need more efficient software tools? I have 10K software engineers on hand to build whatever the company needs. I have a market monopoly so their wages are peanuts to me... The money comes in regardless of development efficiency or improved security. We don't need more efficient tools... Why? So that my small competitors can build software at the same speed as me with only 1% of the engineering capacity? Why would I want such tool to exist?"

But with high inequality, liberation of the poor isn't financially viable. So long as the poor are willing to engage in the current system, their living standards will keep declining, because nobody who is in a position to liberate them has an incentive to do so. There is no incentive to produce such technologies. There is little doubt that technologies have been used to further enslave people, rather than liberate them. This is why the woke/DEI agenda is so horrible, it's pure gaslighting. Preaching equality while implementing the least equal, least fair system ever designed in the history of mankind.
The hypothesis in the article is false because of the simple fact that cheap labor also means cheap labor for making the machines. And vice versa it can't be more profitable to make machines because the wages are high, as high wages would make the machines more costly as well.
How’s that different from sitting through 3 hours of interviews to be rejected for being “too expensive”? I just don’t get the logic.

It varies a lot. For many conditions, like cancers, the placebo effect is basically random noise (cancers sometimes just reduce or go away on their own, regardless of treatment or even of the appearance of treatment ; we don't know the natural rate of this, because it's unethical to not treat people who you know have cancer). In addition, in non-blind trials, there is a "placebo effect" that amounts to mistakes or lies by those involved in the research in favor of a positive outcome. This is not a real effect in patients at all, just an artifact in the reported data.

Then, for conditions linked to our psyche, including pure psychological conditions but also things like pain, blood pressure, heart rate, nausea, and some others - the placebo effect is more real, but usually temporary. Some people who have been living in some amount of despair at their condition experience a positive surge of hope once treatment starts, and they can ignore the pain, or feel some push to get out of their depression, or calm their anxiety which was exacerbating, say, the high blood pressure etc. This effect almost always tapers off if the treatment is not doing anything more fundamental.

Coupled with the fact that we don't understand how psychological disorders work at the chemical level at all, especially in relation to the conscious mind and interventions on that (e.g. therapy, but also various religious practices), this means it's very hard to account for this without a double-blind RCT.
Weird, it works for me. You can use any of the other published links in the sibling comments. The name of the paper is "Quantum Limits in Optical Communications" by Banaszek
It's not an oversight. There are very good reasons for it, which are detailed elsewhere in the comments thread.
Could this be the best contender to the stupidest idea on the last 10 years by a big tech corporation?
Ok the asymmetry complaint makes sense. I’m confused that you’d cite the opportunity cost of interviews as an issue - the cost to the employer is substantial. It costs thousands of dollars in engineering time to put a candidate through a full round of interviews and pulls employees away from their “real work” that has deadlines.
Power Performance Area. Area is how much wafer area each chip and the features within a chip use. Apple optimizes for the first two and sacrifices the third. Because they mark up their products a lot, are vertically integrated, and they move millions of devices they can sink a lot of $ into bigger chips made on bleeding edge lithography. More area means bigger caches, higher instruction level parallelism. Hiring lots of top chip designers gets better results too.
