Er, I’m not even sure how to respond to this. GamersNexus has indicated they know about the oxidisation issue, intel *subsequently* confirm it was known internally but no public statement was made until now. I’m not unreasonably cherry picking parts of their statement and then drawing unreasonable conclusions. Intel have very clearly demonstrated they would have preferred to not disclose an issue in fabrication processes which very probably caused defective CPUs, they have demonstrated untrustworthy behaviour related to this entire thing (L1techs and GN are breaking the defective cpu story following leaks from major intel clients who have indicated that intel is basically refusing to cooperate).

Intel has known about these issues for some time and said nothing. They have cost organisations and individuals time and money. Nothing they say now can be trusted unless it involves them admitting fault.
This is not pettiness, but typical behavior of settler-colonial landowners who view indigenous peoples as subhuman pests unworthy of their land for "using it unproductively." They have already committed genocide against his tribe and will try their best to erase his history to prevent him from becoming a symbol of indigenous resistance. We can currently observe the same behavior on the other side of the planet, with the genocidal settler force desecrating and razing to the ground everything they can find.
So you are interviewing just for practice and rejecting all the offers? Not afraid to get on some kind of black list because of that behavior?

It is not the case, not bad faith intended. To think it is a protest may be nearer.

Build in release a hello world, Build in release the example of this library (replacing the assert_eq by a println!("{}", zoned) or other ), or even a different library if it have a large dependence tree. Open on a text editor both files. The presence of the string messages for "unwrap" increased, right?

One can observe the code in this library take care of making reach the user the errors in most the parts of the library, so:

how was increased the string messages for "unwrap"? How can one know from were they came from? One ends up having to read all the dependencies^5, from were almost always a unwrap() reach the runtime of the release build.
I thought my greatest asset was being a coder. AI has shown me that it isn't. Recruiters are dropping their interest on that front similarly.

Background: I was around for August 2017 hard-fork, running one of (then) ~2000 worldwide verification nodes (i.e. not mining, rule-setting): I can assure you the lack of offchain usage was predictable.

For the diehard technologists, it's interesting to note that Satoshi's original whitepaper called for a much larger blocksize (32MB, verse 1MB pre-SegWit/Lightning); myself, I ran BitcoinUnlimited with 16MB block acceptance well into 2018 (I'm anti anti anti SegWit/Lightning).

For some reason, years of BIPs have claimed that "1MB is necessary due to bandwidth limitations..." which even in 2017 was horseshit... but now it's 2024 and I can get 300mbps fiber for $57.99/month (with a ping <3ms).

HODL.
Yeah Linux still works exactly this way. The modern WIN32 API even works that way too. When you ReadConsoleInput() it gives you teletypewriter style keyboard codes. When I wrote a termios driver for Cosmopolitan to have a Linux-style shell in CMD it really didn't take much to translate them into the Linux style. We're all still using glorified teletypes at the end of the day. It will always be the substrate of our world. One system built upon another older system.

Thanks for defining it rigorously. I think people are getting offended on John Baez's behalf because his book obviously covers a lot more - like why does this particular number seem to be so useful in so many different contexts? How could you have motivated it a priori? Etcetera, although I suspect you know all this already.

But I think you're right that a clear focus on the maths is useful for dispelling misconceptions about entropy.

IMHO the Z80 SoftCard used for CP/M emulation on the Apple II. Like 86-DOS, the precursor to MS-DOS, the SoftCard was developed by Tim Paterson.

Other Microsoft products of the time, such as Commodore BASIC V2 used in the C64, were not that great, though the compilers for CP/M were quite OK.

Everything developed by Microsoft after the early 80's... let's not talk about that :). My work environment is Microsoft-free since I stopped using my C64 and Apple II for everyday tasks and I'm happy to own some computers for which Microsoft never published any software - NeXT workstations.

OT: I used to get that too until I switched to keto. I used to have tuna mayo sandwiches for lunch. Then I cut out the sandwich (I.e. bread) and just had tuna mayo and no longer got that after lunch low and stayed fuller for longer. It was quite amazing to me that I was fuller from eating less. You don't need to go full keto but try cutting out high GI carbs at lunch and see if it makes a difference.

I'd be worried about installing these sorts of extensions in case someone decides to offer the developer a lucrative amount of money to buy it and then uses it for less-than-fun purposes. Not sure if they'd need additional permissions for it, but at least the current content script is ran against "https://*/\*" already.
Thanks, that's an interesting perspective. It also highlights one of the weak points in the concept, I think, which is that this is only a tool for updating beliefs to the extent that the underlying probability space ("ontology" in this analogy) can actually "model" the phenomenon correctly!

It doesn't seem to shed much light on when or how you could update the underlying probability space itself (or when to change your ontology in the belief setting).
"Point in time restore" is a bad way to call the feature if you don't let your customers pick a moment in time to restore to, so those tricks ensure that there's enough WAL entries to allow people to pick with per-second granularity.

>All airlines and hotels and car rental websites show everyone the information, at the cost of a few minutes low effort button clicking. A vast change from how difficult and time consuming it was to access information before the internet.

I think the difference in information is tremendous. getting 100 quotes from hotels from individual hotels websites would take many hours, and is a 5 second operation through booking.

Consider that you might do that several of times in the process of creating a booking, it might represent a dozens of hours of information collection and organization.

organization and accessibility has tremendous value to the customer.

How to say you don't know what Unicode is for without saying it.

1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and, unfortunately, 8, all fall under "ability to encode written text from all human languages". And that includes historical. Some of the issues (5 & 6) are due semantic difference even if the resulting glyph looks the same. Unfortunately you can't expect programmers to understand pesky little thing like languages having different writing, so you end up with normalisation to handle the fact that one system sent "a + ogonek accent" and another (properly) sent "a with ogonek" (these print the same but are semantically different!), and now you need to figure out normalisation in order to be able to compare strings.

7. just like 8 are down to proposal of specific new forms of writing to add to Unicode. Elvish had one since 1997 but only now got a tentative "we will talk about it". Klingon, which is IIRC more complete language including native speakers (...weird things happened sometimes) does not have outside of private use area.

Emojis were added because they were used with incompatible encodings first, even before unicode happened, and without including something like SIXEL into unicode they were unrepresentable (and with SIXEL would lose semantic information)

One of the great realizations I had in business: Many tech companies in price-sensitive markets with high running costs (physical offices, many employees, VC-funded, so they need to have high margins) can be disrupted by providing the same product at a lower cost and keeping your startup lean.You can keep your startup lean by building the product yourself if you're a techie and/or hiring devs from cheaper countries like India.
Here's another little secret: You don't need much marketing in price-sensitive markets.

The only thing left is just a matter of time before you disrupt.

P.S. The majority of markets are price-sensitive ;)
> If you want to be strikingly original, you probably want to be an artist instead of a designer.

Copying is the way art works as well (at least for those who are not doing super-edgy-fine-art).

Typical journey of a digital painter:

1. Refuse to copy. Refuse to even look at references.

2. Hoard references. Over reference.

3. Copy in the right way.
OCCP burn in test with AVX and XMP disabled.

Tbh, XMP is probably the cause of most modern crashes on gaming rigs. It does not guarantee stability. After finding a stable cpu frequency, enable xmp and roll back the memory frequency until you have no errors in occp. The whole thing can be done in 20 minutes and your machine will have 24/7/365 uptime.

> it's manipulating the pipeline so that 50% are the overall best and 50% are diverse

Not even that; it’s changing the pipeline so that it has a lower weighting on upper-middle-class white men who went to one of about four universities (which does not actually equate with ‘overall best’). One surprisingly simple thing that companies can do is be realistic about their requirements in the job spec. There’s a fair bit of evidence that if you have an aspirational job spec, then some candidates will go “well, I meet some of that” and apply, and others will go “well, I only have five years of experience in [whatever], not six like it says in the job spec” and won’t apply. And group 2 tends to be less male, less white, and more working-class.

It’s the cost of living. That’s it. Everyone always focuses on the monetary cost, but neglect the emotional cost. Even for those who can afford it, they’re too emotionally burned out to give any energy to having kids.
In particular, the expectation (or variance) of a real-valued random variable can also be seen as "a real-valued number you can associate with a probability distribution".

Thus, GP's statement is basically: "entropy is like expectation, but different".
>I talk to my coworkers WAY more now that we're not all just sitting in our offices or in the open work area with headphones on

it will ultimately vary on the workers. There were some people on slightly different teams but in close proximity pre-pandemic that I talked with every day (even planning some personal projects on the side). Then the pandemic came and I never heard from them again, despite technically being a ping away. my team slack channel during the pandemic was still faily lax, meanwhile the other team's slack channel went eerily silent.

maybe this will be a non-issue as more Gen Z workers grow up, but I definietly had a different experience from you.

Universal Basic Income Study Key Findings
When I was 32 I had a sudden cerebral spine fracture, I was diagnosed as having severe Osteoporosis(I was told my bones were like that of 80 year old); The doctors didn't bother much as I was living with Achondroplasia (Dwarfism) and they attributed everything to it.

I'm on bisphosphonate treatment (zoledronic acid), I've already had 5 of those injections and I recently learnt that it could lead to severe side effects and not that effective for treating Osteoporosis.

Meanwhile I underwent a genetic testing and the result came out as I have COMP8 mutation which leads to
Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia or Pseudo-achondroplasia; Both of which affects bones to different extent and I have symptoms for both.

I'm now looking for treatments which can help improve my bone density or at-least prevent further deterioration, CCN3 looks really promising. I even started a project to monitor bone health using BMD (Dexa) reports[1] and to submit reports for research (I'm looking for researchers in this area).

1 in 3 women over the age of 50 years and 1 in 5 men will experience osteoporotic fractures in their lifetime, According to this article more than 200 million people worldwide suffer from osteoporosis but I feel investment in bone health research is not enough.
