Of course AMD and Intel could just do the same thing. But they don't. That's not Nvidia's fault.

In fact I wish Intel and AMD would do the same! It's great customer service to know that games are going to work well out of the box with Nvidia, because Nvidia spent tons of money working directly with devs on optimization and even per-game bugfixes.

As a longtime PC gamer I wish AMD released better GPUs, but they seem incapable of doing so generation after generation. Intel is getting better at the low end, so there's at least some hope there. But Nvidia is just the best in class, because they put in a huge amount of polish and work.

My understanding is this is the same approach Nvidia took with CUDA: investing a massive amount to make it fast, accurate, and broadly available, while AMD continued to push out barely-tested drivers — for example, see hotz's woes with tinygrad and finally giving up and labeling the "red" (aka AMD) tinybox driver quality as "Mediocre" on their product page, with the "green" (aka Nvidia) tinybox driver quality listed as "Great" https://tinygrad.org/ — and to this day restricts their competing library (ROCm) to specific ultra-expensive server-class GPUs.
OP is not wrong about the bin packing, since it relates not only to physical loading of containers, but also the optimal "loading" of schedules in time!

The insight is to see time as a spatial dimension - then a set of shipping tasks - each with a length determined by time to complete the task - can be packed into a set of 1d bins representing boat schedules!

This is variously known as the supply chain optimization problem in logistics, the minimal makespan problem in manufacturing, and the multiprocessor scheduling problem in compsci. All of these problems have been classically formulated as bin packing problems.

Toy model: Single ship + Single container Bin Packing

Here is how it works for a single boat and a single package going between multiple ports. In this case, the problem is equivalent to a shortest path problem on a graph with weighted nodes, and more traditionally presented as a shortest path problem on a graph with weighted edges. I'll show the model and the graph translations!

The model consists of:

1. One bin - a 1 dimensional line representing the utilization of the ship over time

2. Line segments p_1 .. p_k representing the transit time for each of k possible shipping operations (taking the container from some port to some other port). For this model, assume p_1 = p_k = 0, representing the first and final transits

3. A port relation P_ik saying "transit k can immediately follow transit i," or equivalently, "transit i's arrival port is transit k's departure port"

A span is a sequence of line segments respecting the port relations, starting at p_0 and ending at p_k. The problem is to find a makespan - an optimal span.

This is the same as the shortest path on a directed graph G with nodes weighted p_1 .. p_k, where we draw an arrow i -> j iff P_ij.

This graph can also be "dualized" into a directed graph G' where nodes are ports, and arrows between ports are weighted by transit times. This is the most familiar form of this problem.

Define an equivalence relation i ~ j saying transit i and j are equivalent iiff P_ik = P_jk for all k (i and j arrive at the same port). Now give G' a node for each equivalence class [i], which we call ports. Finally, for any pair of ports [i] and [j], add an arrow [i] -> [j] with weight p_k if and only if there exists k such that

1. P_ik. (Transit k leaves from port [i])

2. k is in [j]. (Transit k arrives at port [j])

Now we have the traditional shortest route problem on a graph with weighted edges. However the bin packing model naturally scales to the case where we have many ships, larger cargo capacities, many containers, and complex transit constraints.

In this general case, we regain the geometric packing aspect as well! This is because the ships are represented by 4 dimensional bins, which are packed with containers in x, y, z AND t dimensions! The spatial part of this packing now has to obey efficiency constraints like minimizing the unpacking and reshuffling that happens at each port! Wild, huh?
You don't think a guillotine implies an execution by a guillotine?
The optimization space for Go is very large, but the rules are relatively simple.
I'm sympathetic to that: the pressure to have produced results must have been very, very heavy.
It's actually a Rubik's brand cube. If you have fingers rather than servo motors, you'll probably have a better time with a Moyu RS3M v5 or an X-Man Tornado v3.

I often use Arduino (or AT Mega/Tiny) purely for it's 5V and very robust GPIO pins.

I can short circuit an Arduino pin for days, or (attempt to) pull 3 or 4 times the rated current from them - and they just keep on rocking. I've even accidentally hit them with 7.2V or even 12V on the GPIO and not had them let the magic smoke out.

You only have to look sideways past a 5V rail at as RasPi to kill it, and ESP aren't a heap better.

If I can get all the code I need onto an Arduino/AVR, I'll use one. If I need more complex code than I can run on an Arduino but still need GPIO (especially anything 5V tolerant) I'll use an ESP or RasPi (or some other Linux SOC board) with an Arduino (or other AVR) for GPIO. At least for the prototyping stage when I'm using breadboards and moving wires around - if I'm building something permanent (or at least semi permanent) I'll sometimes build a version 2 with level shifters to deal with 3.3-5V stuff, but mostly only once I've got to the "prototype that's got to the PCB stage" iterations. I've almost never killed an Arduino, but I've killer too many RasPis and way way too many ESPs.

I don't think I know a single AAA game released in the past decade that requires a beefier GPU than Apple ships. It would be complete financial suicide for a studio whose development budget runs in the tens and even hundreds of millions these days) to limit their customer base to the relative handful of gamers who have their hands on the latest and greatest graphics cards.
I do enjoy scientific debunkment of religious quotes.

Certainly not by citations counts. Citations have more to do with the authors social or scientific network than the worth of the papers.

It was not low quality work (although it did spark quite a bit of controversy due to its perceived or actual issues). It was just an article written by an unknown author in an unknown journal.

Given that furin cleavage sites have been found naturally occurring on other, earlier in the phylogenetic tree of coronaviruses, viruses than SARS-CoV2, the natural assumption is that such a site is not only possible to develop, but likely to develop, in wild sarbecoviruses. Shifting the goalposts in no way whatsoever implies or allows the idea that this furin cleavage site tack of yours is evidence of anything but natural selection.

By definition, yes.

There are about five times more humans today than there were when Fritz Haber invented his process.

The question is not “will there be an ecosystem”. Of course there will be. The question is are you ok with 4 out of 5 person potentially starving to death.

Farmers also want to have a large swaths of a monoculture plant, because it is easy then to mechanize. That goes, as you say, against the normal ecosystem. Permaculture gardens look much different, but you can't easily mechanize that.

FYI: Some have suggested that Mendel's data might be too perfect, indicating possible manipulation or fraud. (1) Mendel's results are unusually close to the expected ratios of 3:1 for dominant and recessive traits. Some argue that real-world data often show more variation. (2) In 1936, statistician Ronald A. Fisher analyzed Mendel's data and suggested it was "too good to be true." Fisher believed the results might have been altered or selectively reported to better match Mendel's hypothesis. (3) Despite these concerns, many of Mendel's experiments have been replicated, and his fundamental findings remain valid. Most scientists believe any discrepancies in Mendel's data were not due to intentional fraud but possibly unconscious bias or error.

You can still get them out relatively quickly if it's your main residence. But otherwise, yeah, that's correct, which is why, instead of contacting the police, many people kick them out the old fashioned way or hire people experienced in doing so tiptoeing the line of legality.

Yes this exactly. Our entire economy is enshittified and becoming more so daily, and it's precisely because we've become a 100% production for profit economy. Eventually you lose the plot when you do that.
But since there are more Android phones, there are more devices supporting Vulkan than devices supporting Metal.
This is if you are looking in an naive way and are only interested in for THE BEST solution. However, there are many constraints and we are looking for a better solution not the best one.
Evidently they still need to experiment. They don't know if it's junk until they try to use it. I'm convinced they are going to try as much data as they can simply because they need to compete in the market.
Title to real estate, as well as its ability to be liquidated, rests wholly in the cooperation of the state, as well as their recognition of your legitimate title to same. I’m reminded of the end of Godfather 2.

It’s not like value stored like this loses its utility even if the state doesn’t collapse/confiscate your assets/persecute you.

AFAIK, it's not strictly true that unicast addresses are required to use a /64 network identifier.

It's common, almost necessary even, for environments with dynamic clients to use /64 subnets (precisely so that SLAAC works), but in a static environment it's perfectly fine to use prefixes larger than /64 (e.g. delegate a /80 to each individual host in a datacenter, for virtualization applications etc).

Hence, I'm wondering what the spec is you mention that is broken?
I didn't say it was a virtue. Nobody thinks virtuous thoughts all the time. But I do find Musk more engaging because the pablum coming through a PR firm is boring.
Playstation has two API, GNM and GNMX, low level and high level variants.

This kinda plays out already - where not every "side" has a military or soldiers, so the battle is fought between soldiers and "civilians".

Any battle between a state with drone invading forces and one without, is going to be indistinguishable from an invading robot army indiscriminately killing all the civilians.
The hercules card had a "80 × 25 text mode with 9 × 14 pixel font (effective resolution of 720 × 350, MDA-compatible)" (wikipedia), but the graphics mode was 720 x 348.

It always blew my mind that you'd buy a new videocard, and plug the big CRT monitor in it, and it would switch between different resolutions. Precisely because the holes and pixels don't line up, they supported a huge range of resolutions and it didn't look as smeared as on LCDs.

I think the mask in the CRT itself also contributed to a kind of subpixel Anti-Aliasing.

And I've never seen this in real life, but it's amazing, using the hardware implementation to force 1024 colors out of CGA?! https://int10h.org/blog/2015/04/cga-in-1024-colors-new-mode-...
My take is, if you’re not dogfooding what you’ve created, you either don’t believe in it or you didn’t have a need for it (i.e., likely a solution for a nonexistent problem). The latter is okay for fun and/or research/experimentation purposes, but at least make that clear so that everyone knows what to expect (or not expect).

Well today the Supply side (of content) has outstripped Demand for content by a huge factor.

Demand for content from people with disposable income and interested in creative output, has dropped below demand for content from corporates to play attention/market capture games.

Cuz available global attention is finite and corporates will outspend everyone to capture it to peddle whatever. So creatives are basically front line troops in the wars for finite global Attention.

Until we see global consensus on better attention allocation systems than the current garbage there are no easy paths ahead.

It's not as grim as the author makes it sound... I regularly read bevy code.

Sure there's some custom reflection and type erasure, but that's mostly to support the highly ergonomic APIs and for optimising ECS layout and access.

There are conversations (maybe even an RFC) around better supporting reflection in the language itself, which would improve the situation a lot. (Edit: some of it linked at the end of the post)

Bevy is quite literally pushing Rust festures and the type system to their limits on multiple fronts, sometimes "exceeding" those limits with custom code. All with the intent of not sacrificing performance or happy path ergonomics. Of course there's going to be some unsafe.
You are right but im certain that the amount of incidents like that is really small. A little more common is the situation where someone renting runs out of money and squats to avoid going homeless.

Both types of squatters above are overrepresented and the most common one by far is the anti-capitalist squatter.

People who are fed up with high rents. Not without motives.

Corps buy entire building blocks, sometimes for renting but a lot of times just for storing capital and playing with the market.
This combined with airbnb raising the prices more for tourists while salaries i. spain stay the same ends up in rents being totally disproportionate.

Most squatters I know don't want trouble, they get inside abandoned buildings and stay unnoticed for a big lenght of time. Getting inside a building in active use is just asking for trouble, as annoying it may be for the owners it's not the best option for the okupas either.
