They describe the section of the manual, where 1 = programs, 2 = syscalls, 3 = userspace functions, 4 = special files, 5 = file formats, 6 = games, 7 = misc/overviews.

So printf(1) is the man page for the /usr/bin/printf command, while printf(3) is the man page for the libc printf() function.

Alternatively, readdir(2) is the man page for the readdir syscall, while readdir(3) is the man page for the libc wrapper, which no longer actually calls readdir(2). See also syslog(2) and syslog(3).

Or, time(1) is the man page for /usr/bin/time to time how long commands take. time(2) is the syscall to return the number of seconds since the epoch. And time(7) gives you an overview of time and timers on the system.

We can't expect studies to be possible with topics like this in the near future. As I mentioned in my other comments, we don't even have cultural concepts or language to capture this in a meaningful way, not alone some kind of objective test that could form the basis of a scientific study.

They could only do it in this bird because of the striking visual difference, and without it they wouldn't have been able to study this at all.

I think it can be observed firsthand if you have experience dating a lot of different people, and the dynamic becomes quite obvious... but you could not easily categorize a person that you haven't known sexually or romantically in this way. It's quite striking the intense 'chemistry' when you are paired with someone that is on the complementary end of this spectrum from you, and the lack of it when you are not.

I think words like "power couples" and "quiet couples" are looking at something different are are themselves not even opposites- I think you are looking at something like ambition/goal directedness, and introversion.
I disagree. As someone who likes PlantUML specifically because it lets me store diagrams as code, I too frequently end up spending just as much time trying to indirectly coerce the thing into the layout I want since it won’t let me position things explicitly.
Looks interesting! This is useful because you only pay for what you use. Underutilization of GPUs costs so many startups $$$

I don't think it's even in question that Google de-ranked blogs and other independent sites. I remember Eric Schmidt talking about this publicly back when he was running things, saying that they were intentionally up-ranking larger corporate sites. Google had been the main way that blogs got new readers, then Google took that traffic away. It's no wonder that ecosystem has mostly died off, and Google deserve most of the blame for why the public internet has become such a bland corporate-controlled environment.
Good idea, the microSD cards could be easily be affixed to the invoice / instructions sheet with a square of blue painters tape.

I wouldn't fault a manufacturer / vendor for doing this. Sure, it's not "wow", but exceedingly practical which is commendable.
Note that times have changed, and what <b> used to be for back in the <font> and <center> days is not what it's still for. It's just a letter now, not short for "bold", with the following official definition:

> The b element represents a span of text to which attention is being drawn for utilitarian purposes without conveying any extra importance and with no implication of an alternate voice or mood, such as key words in a document abstract, product names in a review, actionable words in interactive text-driven software, or an article lede.

Same for <i>: that's not short for "italic" anymore, it's just a letter now, and is defined as:

> The i element represents a span of text in an alternate voice or mood, or otherwise offset from the normal prose in a manner indicating a different quality of text, such as a taxonomic designation, a technical term, an idiomatic phrase from another language, transliteration, a thought, or a ship name in Western texts.

So go nuts: don't use <strong> or <em> if you semantically just needed <b> or <i>.

AMD hardware works fine, the problem is that the major research projects everyone copies are all developed specifically for Nvidia.

Now AMD is spinning up CUDA compatibility layer after CUDA compatibility layer. It's like trying to beat Windows by building another ReactOS/Wine. It's an approach doomed to fail unless AMD somehow manages to gain vastly more resources than the competition.

Apple's NPU may not be very powerful, but many models have been altered specifically to run on them, making their NPUs vastly more useful than most equivalently powerful iGPUs. AMD doesn't have that just yet, they're always catching up.

It'll be interesting to see what Qualcomm will do to get developers to make use of their NPUs on the new laptop chips.

I fully agree here too. Surveillance capitalism especially causes a lot of harms that persist long after an ad is shown or a product is purchased. The ad industry will never stop wanting more data, more control, and more money. It's up to us to say that enough is enough.

I'm sure you know this, but just another point for people to keep in mind: using a length+contents representation makes it harder to modify the payload, if needed (more bookkeeping). And using a variable-size length makes that even harder, since you might have to shift or re-copy the full payload to make room for the new "length" header.

Of course, once you're done processing and are sending it along (as in serialization, that you mention), it's not an issue.

I think the problem is not Google specific rather the internet has grown far too large with too much of crap floating around. Google, in my opinion has done the best job of getting relevant information followed by Reddit.

While OpenAI etc. is pretty good (so does Google Gemini) what is OpenAI like interfaces prevent me from doing is to segue from a focused topic to related areas to discover knowledge on the periphery, which is the most important aspect of learning in my opinion which chatbots today are not able to do that well.

[I work on SCALE]

CUDA has a couple of extra problems beyond just any other programming language:

- CUDA is more than a language: it's a giant library (for both CPU and GPU) for interacting with the GPU, and for writing the GPU code. This needed reimplementing. At least for the device-side stuff we can implement it in CUDA, so when we add support for other GPU vendors the code can (mostly) just be recompiled and work there :D.
- CUDA (the language) is not actually specified. It is, informally, "whatever nvcc does". This differs significantly from what Clang's CUDA support does (which is ultimately what the HIP compiler is derived from).

PTX is indeed vastly annoying.
You're right, there's no hard evidence. Google keeps its secrets well, making it difficult to prove these claims definitively. I'm speaking from experience, but there is a way to observe this phenomenon yourself if you have a website:

1. Register on Google Search Console

2. Go to the page indexing section

3. Look at the rows "Discovered - currently not indexed" and "Crawled - currently not indexed"

For example, my own site has a two-digit number of URLs in both categories. These are blog posts Google simply doesn't want to index for reasons unknown.

I have access to Google Search Console data for over 100 websites, and most/all of them have the same issues. This includes sites (like my own) that rank well for certain keywords and receive traffic.
Ultra Engine 0.9.6 Released
Like the article said counterfeit items always worry me. I wish more companies sold directly to the end user.

I mean, I understand why they don't like to do this, dealing with the end user is a huge pain, it is much easier to deal with the distributors and have them deal with the end user. So barring direct sales I wish supply chain auditing was easier for for us end users. the best you tend to get is a "distributers" link on the manufacturers website, most of whom are b2b only distribution that are not happy selling low volume directly to you ether.
You might enjoy reading about Ethos's Etypes. My understanding is that they punted a bit and their design still has byte streams, but the operating system provides helpers to parse them and injects filters to guarantee well-formed input/output, including over the network. They failed to produce anything but papers, but the papers are interesting.

Exact and precise are different ideas. In fixed point, all operations but division are exact. In fixed point, all operations have precision related to the magnitude of the numbers being operated on. You can have a 64-bit fixed point number system that gives you 16 bits of precision on most of your operations.

In floating point, almost every operator (other than subtraction) has precision of the full width of the mantissa minus 0.5 ULPs. All operators are not guaranteed to always be exact, but they are far more precise on average than equivalent operators in fixed point.

Cancellation isn't an issue of exactness, it's an issue of precision.
I had thought I had seen everything but kudos - Excel to generate C code is some sort of local extremum for software hacks.
I don't particularly want to read the standard today to quote line and verse, but it's generally understood in the wider community that correct rounding is not required by 754 outside a small group of core functions where it's practically reasonable to implement. This includes everything from the 754 implementation in your CPU to compiler runtimes. Correct rounding is computationally infeasible without arbitrary precision arithmetic, which is what the major compilers use at compile time. If you're expecting it at any other time, I'm sorry to say that you'll always be disappointed.
Engineers who are really, really good at CUDA are worth their weight in gold, so there's more projects for them than they have time. Worth their weight in gold isn't figurative here – the one I know has a ski house more expensive than 180 lbs of gold (~$5,320,814).
Agreed but it shouldn't be the problem that a browser should solve. The browser is a user client. It really doesn't make sense for browsers to try and enforce or help a certain business model. It's great if the web and web browsers help businesses make money, but it should be a side effect, not a goal for user clients.

My recent experience doesn't match the experience described by the OP.

I recently logged into google and asked that they index my domain (djhaskin.com). They asked me to put a TXT record in there proving I owned it and I did so. Then their "website console" thing showed that my website was indexed[1]. They have a console for this stuff now[2]. They recently showed me a page in there where that displayed some URLs that weren't indexed and which were. I requested a re-index of one of the non-indexed URLs, but the others were just broken/junk/RSS feed urls, so it was fine that they weren't indexed. The console gave me a ton of tools for making sure my site was indexed, and told me why if it wasn't.

I had plenty of tools to get my site indexed and felt like I was in control. I don't feel any sense of mystery about what is happening and I receive notifications when indexing fails.

And, by and large, they were right to do so. In the absence of a very strong central government, the only way to protect yourself from criminals (or other social problems) is to assume all outsiders are problematic.

> If there was, your family member's oncologist would have informed your family member of it.

I have no insight into the OP’s case in particular, but this is objectively untrue in a large majority of cases. The percentage of oncologists who stay on top of and recommend clinical trials to their patients is in the single digits. One thing I’ve learned from following Jake Seliger’s excellent blog [0] is that cancer patients are often on their own when it comes to researching and applying to clinical trials.

> what happens when your doctor is getting bribed to say you're dying

We pay people to figure out that this is happening (the police), then we prosecute the doctor and if that is what happened we hit the doctor with the full force of law, and they never walk as a free person ever. We also do the same thing with those who bribed the doctor and they also never walk as a free person again.

What you describe already crosses into criminal conduct. We do not need FDA approval process to prosecute it. In fact I’m not sure how the FDA approval of the drug prevents it in your opinion.
They haven't leaked anything even if they do have a capability, because we can't know what they did. From a Bayesian point of view the information we gained here does nothing to help us distinguish between potential alternatives like "FBI has a zero day", "vendor has a secret backdoor" and "turns out you can face unlock a phone using a corpse".
>Women who make Samsung semiconductors are striking

I would say they're quite photogenic myself ;)

One of the original advantages of semiconductors over vacuum tubes is that they were built to last.

Tubes were expected to eventually wear out and be replaced sooner or later, sometimes on a regular basis. So they came in sockets and many were very easily user-replaceable.

Other than that, the equipment was usually built to last for decades. It would have been the stupidest thing in the world to get a new radio every 5 or 10 years when all it needed was a new tube or two. And once you had a radio that was satisfying, most people never wanted to buy another radio again. They most often went forward focused on additional types of long-term technology acquisitions, like TV sets and an automobiles with automatic transmission.

Semiconductors made almost all tube equipment obsolete as fast as the expanding variety of devices could be developed, so silicon booms are nothing new. Corresponding bust cycles must also have been endured by semiconductor companies who have prospered over the decades.

The demand for semiconductors is real strong again, especially the more complex and innovative developments.

But as time goes by, the demand for the semiconductors needed to produce products having long-term value is not the demand causing the complaints about overwork.

It's the extreme demand for disposable semiconductors, and the manufactured-for-landfill products that incorporate them, which has been gradually putting more pressure on fabrication workers in the same production facilities where it didn't used to be this bad.
Yes, there's undoubtedly too much low-quality content on the internet. But my post isn't mere criticism of Google. It's an attempt to explain and understand how Google's approach has changed over time.

In the past, Google would index nearly everything they could find, then filter content through ranking algorithms. They would downrank what they considered junk, but with enough query refinement, you could still find it. This approach also allowed you to find sites that Google might have incorrectly categorized as low-quality but were actually what you were looking for.

Now, the situation is different. Google isn't just doing its filtering at the ranking stage, but at the indexing stage. This means you can refine your query endlessly, but you'll never find content that isn't in the index to begin with.
Huh. Inline assembly is strongly associated in my mind with writing things that can't be represented in LLVM IR, but in the specific case of PTX - you can only write things that ptxas understands, and that probably rules out wide classes of horrendous behaviour. Raw bytes being used for instructions and for data, ad hoc self modifying code and so forth.

I believe nvcc is roughly an antique clang build hacked out of all recognition. I remember it rejecting templates with 'I' as the type name and working when changing to 'T', nonsense like that. The HIP language probably corresponds pretty closely to clang's cuda implementation in terms of semantics (a lot of the control flow in clang treats them identically), but I don't believe an exact match to nvcc was considered particularly necessary for the clang -x cuda work.

The ptx to llvm IR approach is clever. I think upstream would be game for that, feel free to tag me on reviews if you want to get that divergence out of your local codebase.
This is actually the third-order effect of itself, by itself.

Require frequent passwords, humans cheat, boom: your brute-force space just went from 1024 bits to 14, assuming you can onboard a red-team plant far enough to get the template for the default passwords.

If I know _bigcorp_ gives defaulted credentials in the format of [First Initial + Middle Initial + month_day] then not only can I piggyback a trivially-created IT/support ticket, I can also just guess that in 60, 90, 120 days, your credentials are the same, but the month_day - even if not correct, the search space is reduced by magnitudes.

> Google has been playing this game for 20+ years and failed hard the last 10+. You think you could easily solve it?

Yes. Google hasn't really produced anything of substance post-2010. They fell into the typical corporate bureaucracy trap. The rejection of ideas like mine are likely even more common internally in Google. In an org of that size/stature, people jockey for position, they don't create (and that's not an opinion, it's objective reality).

O.G. Goolge would try anything (I remember they offered radio station automation software briefly).

Could I be wrong? Sure. But if public opinion of my core product is waning massively, I'd rather trust the mad scientist than the Wharton dork who's focused on his L-status. Worst case scenario the failure is a rounding error on my balance sheet.
Hey man, had no reason to work on the code further, was a one man experimentation with no incentive to work on it further. The use of MD5 was not meant for security guarantees but instead as a way to ensure the integrity of content. There would be no reason to use SHA-256 in this case, not worried about security since that would be handled through use of SSL/TLS between server and client, which is already available.
