Well, on a way that's a problem but i don't really think it's that big of a problem.

If you are a good renter (important part) a landlord will kick you out only if he wants to

1)Sell the house

2)Increase the amount of money and trowing you out is the only way to do so

The first problem is unsolvable but pretty rare, a good renter is a money printer and landlords like stability the same way you do.

The second could be mitigated by rent protection laws.

In the end is still a compromise, you don't have to invest massive amounts of capital but don't have complete control

It was also further delayed until December of 2024 because during Depositions Qualcomm learned that ARM didn't destroy nuvia designs like they were required to when they terminated the ALA.

So ARM is suing Qualcomm stating that the IP rights were non-assignable per the ALA, then Qualcomm finds out that ARM also did not hold up its side of the ALA termination agreement and is using Nuvia IP in their current gen designs.

Libgen still uses torrents primarily for preservation. It also hosts on IPFS but that is more for access, and there are very few IPFS seeders.

We tried IPFS for a bit but found it not stable and usable enough for preservation purposes. We're closely watching IPFS development and hope that it will get there, since it would be wonderful to merge the preservation and access use cases in one system.

At least one company I know of (though this was 15 years ago) had ridiculously high prices for their products. But they had extensive after-sales support, and the warranty was such that you could basically run over the unit with a car, and they'd still repair / replace it under warranty for free.

While I won't disagree (lost an Uncle to Agent Orange related cancer), it makes sense that the military won't run these vehicles with extra emissions equipment on them. Besides not being suited to running JP8 fuel, the mechanisms just aren't mature yet. The reliability isn't up to par and it wouldn't do to have vehicles hit a regen cycle or enter limp mode at a bad time.
This would be interesting as an auction with a reserve price as well as a marketing mechanism. The artist says I need to make at least $x. People can pay $1 to the artist to either increment or decrement $x by $1. Album drops for everyone when $x decrements to zero. If the auction expires without hitting $0 the artist can recut/release the contents in some other form after returning the money to those who committed it to the auction.

Swift could make a killing. Anyone who is loved and disliked could novelly monetize the dislike.

Also, fun smart contract. The $0 condition drops some decryption key for pre-released-but-encrypted content.

> It prevents you from referencing a cell with a Python object directly, as you’re always running the risk that someday, someone switches that cell to Values mode, which would break any formula that references this cell in object mode.

That's not a major concern. Excel already has a dozen footguns painted exactly this colour.

> But that doesn't change the fact that the US was provoking Russia by signing everyone up and the US acting on that expansionist urge in Ukraine seems to be the major driver of this war.

???

But that's exactly the opposite of what happened. Ukraine and Georgia desired to join the NATO like everyone else. The US, Germany and a handful of others dashed those hopes in 2008 due to Russian pressure. This lowered the risk for Russia and they immediately invaded Georgia, and a few years later Ukraine, and expanded the invasion in 2022 after they saw the shameful retreat from Afghanistan as a further sign of US' weakness and unwillingness to support their allies.

Not American expansionist urge, but the utterly short-sighted belief in "we must not provoke Russia" is how we got here. Russians are not provoked by strength, but by weakness. Belief in enemy's weakness enables dangerous illusions like "3 days to Kyiv".

What's the connection you had in mind between the 6502 and the PowerPC? As far as I know they're geneologically unrelated.

The 6502 was descended from the 6800 - one of a few ur-microprocessors - and somewhat clumsily evolved into the 65816 before its brilliant but highly specialized design (hard to target for HLLs and which fundamentally assumed memory could be accessed roughly as fast as the CPU was running) couldn't keep up with the times. As far as I know that's pretty much it for its branch of the CPU family tree.

Meanwhile - and I admittedly know less about this - as I understand it the PowerPC is ultimately descended from the IBM 801, which was a high-end workstation and server chip. There might've been some influence from Motorola, and Motorola made the 6800 - the 6502's father - so in that sense the 6502 and the PowerPC might be very distant cousins. Still, that's pretty tenuous.

My understanding is that the original ARM team was directly inspired by the 6502 - so if its legacy lives on anywhere, maybe it's there.
This isn't a lack of understanding. It's the principal-agent problem.

Non-founder executives are usually rewarded for short term results. They'll deliver on this even if it means laying off the entire Python language team in the midst of an AI boom. The market is bad at distinguishing these growth hacks for sustainable business, so they'll see 4% quarterly growth and pile on under the assumption that the hockey stick is going up.

Yup coming to post this. JP-8 is the primary fuel used in military vehicles and is kerosene based.

But, the military does maintain stocks of DF-2 (the diesel you get at the station) for many COTS vehicles.

If I remember correctly, most commercial diesels can run on JP-8. But you can’t mix-and-match.
Seriously - have people forgotten what so much of the Internet looked liked prior to just a few years ago? That is to say, exactly the same? SEO spam, quick artist mockups, mass-generated crap.
It's interesting to me that this article was written ~seven years ago and already feels thoroughly outdated. The core problem is that its basic premise is that we need to scratch-write an OS that is essentially the Alto WIMP (1972), a few BeOS features (1995), and questionable improvements like forcing apps through a messaging bus a la Smalltalk (1972) or CORBA (1991).
It isn't that the individual ideas are bad, per se, but if you're going to suggest write an OS from scratch then it really should be significantly different and inherently impossible to make by tweaking an existing OS, of which there are so, so many. Just an unbelievable number of OS options.
Remember the x-elite is an SoC. What is being discussed is solely the CPU cores not any of the SoC-- which includes the q6 processor and thus hexagon.
> If you own a home, only eminent domain can take it from you.

Incorrect. If you're subject to an HOA, the HOA can take it from you for many bullshit reasons.

> If you're renting your home, your landlord can just say...

Also incorrect. In some jurisdictions the landlord must either withdraw the unit you're renting from the rental market for five or more years, or move himself or his family into your unit in order to execute a no-fault eviction.

Has anyone here used this, or anything similar? This sounds phenomenal if it really works. Looks like “contact us” is the only way to try it or buy it right now, and the purported benefit (memorize facts up to the model training size, basically trillions of tokens of facts) is wild. I’d love to try a system running this way to understand the failure modes, like for instance how does it reliably infer which “facts” to use?
Then why was this virus only found at this wet market. I’m assuming there are 10k other wet markets in China. How many others found different strains of Covid?
They didn't choose to sell exclusive rights to one person, they wanted the sale of the album to roughly follow the old patronage model of funding. The idea was that their patron would give them money upfront for the artistic output and then exhibit it to flex their wealth and good taste. They specifically didn't want the buyer to buy it and then sell it themselves with the artist getting a pittance relative to the overall proceeds, which is why the purchase agreement had an 88 year non-commerical-exploitation clause. Shkreli largely keeping the album to himself probably isn't what they had in mind, but what the current owners are doing is without a doubt pissing on the original terms of sale and the reasoning behind them. They have all the room in the world to complain, but they're probably not going to win any legal argument against crypto shysters with huge amounts of money, so they might as well get what they can out of it.
While that's fair, the author makes that disclaimer at the start of the article and he specifically addresses where to go with xlwings. But above all, his arguments are right on the money...
The employees are hot to trot with the tech, but thing with AI at these companies is that there currently isn’t a guaranteed revenue stream path to profitability for these features. Every team in the US is dumping their data into LLMs and are marveled by how clever statistics can be.

Yeah, this. The doctors sold the company for an undisclosed amount and the employees were left to reapply for their new jobs at the new company while they quit and walked away with enough money to suddenly become private investors.
Yes, the U.S. has the concept of public hospitals, but they're unevenly distributed, let's say. Parkland in Dallas, where JFK died, is one. I pay property taxes separately in suburban Dallas / Fort Worth (Tarrant County) to my city, school district, and hospital district.

> Here’s an example. Quite often I need to compute long arrays of numbers, and the problem is parallel, like multiplication of large matrices. A good way to do that is slicing the output into blocks, and computing different blocks on different CPU cores, using OpenMP or some other thread pool. Different CPU cores need concurrent write access to the same vector, this is illegal in Rust.

This is actually easier in Rust than in C++, because of par_iter_mut() [1] from Rayon.

(In any case, usually if you want to do that sort of thing quickly then you'd use ndarray which can use BLAS.)

> Pointer chasing is generally slow compared to arithmetic instructions, but much faster than hash maps which can be used to implement the same thing. A hash map lookup is chasing at least 1 pointer usually multiple (depends on the implementation), and before that spends time computing the hash.

Usually in Rust you use indices into arrays instead, which can be folded into the addressing mode on most architectures. If you really want to use a hash map, there's slotmap which precomputes the hash.

It is true, advertisements can be helpful, if done well.

If there is a concert, they can advertise them in the building with the concert (or on a sign outside it). If there is a movie, it can be advertised inside of the building with the movie (or outside of it). If there is a new restaurant, it will have a sign, and you can see it if you are over there. A new restaurant may also be visible on a map. Any of these things will also be visible in search systems.

In the case of movies, you might want to see a movie trailer, so showing them on TV is one way, but advertisements on displays within the movie theatre (or the same building as the movie theatre) can also do. However, some people will not want to see movie trailers for whatever reason, and would rather read reviews, or ask someone else they know who has seen it (or wait for them to tell you), or just go to see the movie if you like to see a movie (without considering trailers, reviews, recommendations, etc), etc; and movie trailers also can be deceptive, anyways.

For other things, advertisements on TV, etc also might show them.

There is also, consideration of advertising specifically of local businesses (and events); for some kind of things, such a thing is helpful. (For advertising TV shows, the physical location isn't as important, but advertising them on the same TV channel, may be helpful (although a TV guide would probably be more helpful than advertisements).)

However, none of this justifies interrupting the shows to display advertisements (they could be displayed between shows), making them unskippable, wasting your power to display them to you against your intention, making avertisements deceptive, displaying too many advertisements (especially those with bright light outside), wasting power and light and sound on advertisements (especially outside), trying to put advertisements everywhere, surveillance, dishonest business practices, etc.

"Hallucinations" are the creative aspect of LLMs, which is what they are more useful for- if anything we want more of them. We already have much simpler systems that search and regurgitate facts. We need more intelligent hallucinations that are consistent with and extend rather than conflict with the data.
