This could have been a cataclysm 30 years ago, but the global energy picture has shifted a lot.

US/Canada produce way more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and are now exporting significant amounts of energy.

With China now shrinking, we are likely somewhere around (or past) peak global gasoline demand, with strong, but slowly diminishing demand into the mid-2030s.

The Saudis will remain a supplier of cheap oil to their trading partners, but they are sitting atop an asset that can be thought of as a perishable good as the world moves toward greater electrification.

The size and shape of the global economy is very, very different than the 1970s. GE, GM, Aramco and Exxon have been replaced by Amazon, Google and NVIDIA. These companies are global juggernauts, and will ensure healthy demand for US currency well into the future.

The article or the report don't give a single example of what they think was wrongly removed when it was just "general expression of opinion".

So I'm quite critical of this kind of platform enforced censorship, but I'm not really convinced on this case that it's not just a different interpretation of what free speech means and what hate speech is between US Americans and Europeans, as is common in these discussions.
Finetuning a code completions model for Rust
It was probably a good business decision. Microsoft is famous for commercial success despite the hacker crowd typically having unfavorable opinions about their products.

The best example that comes to mind for me is Windows 95 having a special case in its memory management to work around a bug in SimCity. From a technical perspective, that's nuts, but from a business perspective I imagine not doing that would have hurt both immediate sales and consumer trust in the brand.
> where the Plutonium comes from reprocessing of fuel of Nuclear Power Plants.

With this logic, the Raspberry Pi foundation is involved in producing F35 fighter jets, because there is electronics in the F35.

As you say, there was a "weapons program" hidden there. It's not like a power plant reactor gives you the weapon technology magically.

All year? What happens when there is no wind and no sun?

> is far from marginal.

Electricity accounts for like 20% of the energy. So it's 60% of 20% = 12% and that's when there is wind and sun.

You're not self-censoring in your prompts? Lagging behind!
Just to be clear, I did not "apologize" for anyone. I think you mean that I'm an apologist for someone or other? I should also clarify that, no, I am not. I am a peacenick and a anti-nationalist and I dislike all nations equally, especially the ones that go to war over perceived threats to their territorial integrity or their national interests etc. None of those things are more valuable than human lives.

To be even more clear: those nations include Russia, the US, China, and basically every other national entity with an army that you might want to propose.

For the record, I also dislike, strongly, people on the internet who cannot hold a conversation without insulting their interlocutor, or accusing them of some perceived mind crime.

Without AI you'd still be looking at dozens of artists' mockups of wooden satellites because they have to put something at the top of the blog post or news article to catch viewer attention.
Amongst other options, the !ais bang search on DDG will either turn up an existing archive of an article or web page, or start the dialogue for creating one yourself.

Archive.Today takes up to 5--10 minutes to fully complete an archive, as it's waiting for all of numerous related page requests to complete, as opposed to a local browser session which makes a best-guess effort at rendering a page with only partial completion of downloads. Capacity and queue length also seem to be factors here.

The !wayback bang will search or create Internet Archive pages, though this is less successful at byapassing paywalls, as with Bloomberg.

Ghostarchive doesn't seem to have a bang at this point.

Honest question. As that fairly basic parameter does not seem to be included in the main media articles linked. And I'm not-at-all familiar with corporate practices.
An excerpt:

There are definite improvements peppered across the OS and Math Notes is seriously impressive, but I can’t help but feel like the iPad is yet again a forgotten sibling. Yes, the powerful M-series iPads will get access to Apple Intelligence and all that it has to offer later this year but even with AI improvements the iPad still feels like it has so much untapped potential.

Adding the brand new M4 chip to the iPad Pro in early May was a sign of intent from Apple but after testing iPadOS 18 for a few days I still feel like that intent isn’t matched. For many, if iPadOS 18 had been a newly designed Files app and a better way to multitask that allows you to do actual work on the tablet then it would’ve been enough — instead, we get quality of life improvements from the smaller sibling’s OS and the promise of AI at some point in the future.

The obligation on content platforms is not to allow any legally permissible message to be posted. It is to prevent any legally impermissible message from being posted.

Moreover, as a business, just because something’s theoretically legal, if it exposes you to a nonzero risk of being prosecuted - even if you are pretty sure you will prevail - you’re well within your rights to elect not to be the vehicle through which that bit of caselaw gets made.

The claim that 90% or so of these deleted messages were ‘legally permitted’ seems to rest on a somewhat untestable hypothesis that if these platforms had left this content up, it would not have resulted in legal consequences, or if it had, the hosting platforms and posters would have been exonerated.

Whether or not to make those gambles with facebook’s shareholders’ money is really facebook’s business.
It also seems the Fed can just absorb whatever it needs to. And it's not like Japan needed to be a global reserve currency to sustain massive debt. De-dolarization seems unlikely to cost much aside from prestige.

These agreements are just agreements.

The dollar has been the reserve currency for a long time because (1) the US has been a big promoter of liberalization and world trade, but really most importantly, (2) despite various conflicts, the US currency has been consistent and stable for decades, and everyone who values stability is going to want to park their value in a currency that continues to be boring. So far, the US has been able to scratch that itch because it’s been the same government that has been predictably the same for nearly 250 years.

Now it doesn’t mean the world’s reserve currency won’t change over time but if it does, it’s because some other country or group of people have managed to establish themselves as equally boring for decades. And by the time that happens, the world will have already changed significantly already.

Really, the reason the US Dollar has held for so long is because the rest of the world has had a lot of instability (think world wars, governance changes, unions of countries formed or abolished, etc.). The US hasn’t even had a change in states in 60 years.
My last gaming console was PS2 and yea I loved it because gaming consoles are meant for "couch gaming" with big TV screen and as one gaming friend of mine told me: "When you buy gaming console, you are set for the next 5 years." Moore's law kinda kills the fun for us PC gamers but I still prefer gaming on PC than on gaming consoles.

A little more on topic, if you like SIMD and C#, dotnet/runtime now has an introductory guide to Vector128/256/512<T> API:

https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/docs/coding-guid...

Now, the default syntax can still be a bit more wordy with byref arithmetics than ideal, but you can add a few extension methods to make it look it closer to Rust's pointer arithmetics:

https://github.com/U8String/U8String/blob/main/Sources/U8Str... (unrelated note but .NET lowers this to vpternlogd if AVX512VL is available)

You can find more examples of SIMD use in dotnet/runtime if that interests you:

Many paths are vectorized: to/from hexadecimal byte conversion, unicode encoding/decoding, various hash algorithms, counting and searching for elements, chunking text, there's a BLAS library now too and more.

That's a function of the games you play. Online games are a 3rd space for hanging out with your friends. Like sure if all you're doing is joining public matches on CoD or whatever then yeah it's pretty antisocial but hoping on Discord with your friends and playing Minecraft / Roblox / Fortnite / the current meme game de jour then it's a great time. My friends and I currently have a long-running game of Don't Starve Together going.

And it's one of the few activities you can do with friends when you're stuck home on a school night.

I'm only just old enough for it, but before mobile phones (I mean, they existed, but we were schoolchildren not businesspeople, before small relatively cheap Nokias I suppose) we'd 'call on' people to see if they were in and if so did they want to do whatever/go wherever... Thinking about it now, I think mobiles probably had quite a role in changing that: we got phones and then just started texting (hey wuu2 do u wnt 2 go in2 town l8r) instead.

I imagine now it's just straight to the latter, (albeit with less txt spk and more memes & emoji) because children get phones and start making their own plans at about the same age. (And not by coincidence probably - they're arranging to meet friends and going out alone, so parent wants to be able to contact them, to stay in the loop, etc.)
It’s always crazy to me that we have picked encodings for data that are human-first to send between computers. JSON is in a similar boat. Absolutely enormous amounts of computing power are spent on serialization and deserialization. That latency is experienced everywhere too. If we used zero-copy serialization structures everywhere, a whole lot of compute would be saved

> I’m down to prevent the poor and elderly from dying of heatstroke

And i also assume from freezing to death?

First hand experience tells me that living outside in a large metro city during the summer was easier than trying to stay warm in the same city during the really cold nights.

I'm not saying it was _enjoyable_ during the summer, but I didn't have the concern of hypothermia during those really cold early mornings.
I think this will have some interesting consequences. The US dollar used to be backed by gold, then Nixon ended that and then it got tied to oil, so in effect it was still backed by something tangible. The rest of the world currencies being somewhat linked to dollar were also indirectly tied to oil. Now the dollar is backed by nothing and by extension the rest of the currencies. In that sense dollar is now just a digital currency.
As a side note, the article and the simdjson paper don’t mention that it’s also possible to do an arbitrary set of bytes < 128 in two lookups (or one lookup and one variable shift), by vectorizing

!!(bitset[b >> 3] & oneshl[b & 7]),

where bitset[i] has its jth bit set iff i*8+j is in the set, and oneshl[i] is 1<<i. (I don’t remember where I saw this first, unfortunately, a pull request to a Rust something or other.) If you’re on x86 and thus using PSHUFB for the lookup, making the first shift an arithmetic one will also see you reject bytes ≥ 128 automatically.
Sure. Everyone prefers someone else. These are the candidates who are the least worst for a majority. There is no single candidate widely preferred by either party.

The fact that they're both elderly is kind of a coincidence. It is true that older candidates are the ones with the longest track record of accomplishments and the most extensive alliances.

But the GOP candidate had little government experience and somewhat dubious business experience. He is nonetheless popular for his style and positions.

Both parties are very diverse and it's difficult to find someone tolerable to all. Many actively despise their party's candidate but the alternative to the consensus risks losing entirely. It is generally thought to be better to vote for a suboptimal candidate than a pessimal one, though some vocally disagree.

A young, charismatic candidate could come up next time around, but to be honest neither party seems to have one getting ready.
OneDrive? WSL is already in Windows so you don't really need to sync anything if you think about it. Each of my devices kind of play a role and they don't need to all be whatever you would consider synced. Edge syncs... OneDrive shares data... What else do you need to sync?

I'm not dismissing you I just think you need to come up with a more cohesive definition of synchronization of blank. Do you want your terminals to have their histories synchronized? Do you want the entire hard drives to be the same? Do you want your web browsers settings to be the same?

You could even use git for something like this. And you could just pull repos locally for projects that you're working on and just synchronize them between computers that way and just host a local gittea or something.
There was some research posted on here a while back which suggests trees can someone encourage rain.
Yes, for much of it's lifetime it was behind the 360 in worldwide sales, and might have been a disappointment for Sony, especially after the PS2 domination, but I wouldn't say it "Lost Handily" to the xbox360. It may have taken time, but it did outsell it.

It seems an incorrectly strong wording by the interviewer.

And people seem to sleep on how powerful the xbox360 was - the CPU was a fair bit smaller than the cell, true, (~150m transistors vs 250m in the cell) not not really the multiples some articles seem to imply.

And the GPU in the xbox was arguably a fair bit more advanced - being a little larger (~300m vs ~335m transistors), and being a unified shader architecture that came to dominate GPUs from then on. And the more flexible architecture enabled more GPGPU-like tasks that the cell SPUs might have handled on the PS3. And these early GPGPU models were also a bitch to program for - like the cell SPUs were.

So it's not like one was simple and easy, the other crazy complex and advanced, but more one had the fancy experimental stuff on the CPU/Cell die, the other on the GPU die. Just the techniques used on the GPU continued to be developed and supplanted much of the Cell-style tech.

> and seemed genuinely interested in how bitcoin miners could help solve America’s energy deficit problem.

"By turning them off"?

> according to a survey recently conducted by bitcoin financial services firm Unchained

Oh, is this study still being touted as something reliable? "Company with vested interest in increasing BTC investment says that of their customers and leads, who are higher percentile income and wealth, they have extrapolated that a quarter of all Americans own BTC?

333M people. Let's assume that minors don't typically own BTC (I know some probably do), so minus 85M.

Let's say that very few over 70y do. That's minus another 35.

210M left over.

Average household size in 2023, 2.51, so 83M households.

1 in 3 households in the US hold at least 1 BTC? I'm going to call a strenuous BS on that.

(Unchained’s “US Investor Outlook for BTC in 2024” survey sample size of 402 individuals is representative of the US investor population with a 5% margin of error at a 95% confidence level. To qualify for this survey, respondents were required to be permanent residents of the US between the ages of 18 and 78 and self-report as having one or more current financial investment(s).)

The only thing this whole article is good for is showing how clueless Trump is, and playing cryptopolitical buzzword bingo.
