Why wouldn't you want std::tuple<> to be the same as std::monostate, though? In many languages with a proper unit type such as Haskell and Rust, the zero tuple is the unit type.
I’ve had this fear a few times - and when my last workplace started getting a bit weird (layoffs) I largely stopped publishing much of anything. I experimented with publishing under an alternate identity a bit, but it never stuck.

Now I’m working through my backlog of drafts, dumping a load of stuff ASAP, and then trying to commit myself to some form of publishing schedule to force myself to “catch up” on the project backlog.

Adding a cloud security offering to your existing "cloud infrastructure" suite makes sense.

Buying a strategic complement where you can multiply the company's ARR overnight by integrating with your own suite makes sense.

Or commoditizing this complement by offering it for free as a differentiator to competitors (Azure, AWS) would also make sense.

Plenty of options to choose from.

Does anyone have any idea why? The much higher mortality rate for black women especially stands out. People have often remarked on this as evidence of racism, but does anyone know the actual mechanism here? Are black women less fit to survive a risky procedure in the first place? Are facilities actually treating black women worse? Do black women primarily only have access to inferior facilities? (if so, do women of other races also have worse outcomes at said facilities?) The article refutes increasing maternal age, which would have been my next guess.

I don't have answers, just questions and guesses. If anyone's got anything definitive, I'd love if they weighed in.

Far more men like women with good-looking fit bodies. It's a statistically insignificant minority that likes "fat women", so "men" overall aren't policing women's bodies to the point of influencing women to not go to the gym. It's largely women who do it to each other.

That sounds achievable at compile-time in c++ with some type-level map implementation such as in boost.mp11 (sadly the language does not allow general use of types as values preventing the use of standard map containers).

The Ceylon language allowed you to do that sort of thing with types.
If you "added" two maps together of types `Map<String, int>` and `Map<String, String>`, you would get back a `Map<String, String | int>` (or, equivalently, `Map<String, String> | Map<String, int>`).

But for some slightly complex reasons, most language designers find adhoc union types (which are required for this to work) a bad idea. See the Kotlin work related to that, they explicitly want to keep that out of the language (and I've seen that in other language discussions - notice how tricky it can be to decide if two types are "the same" or whether a type is a subtype of another in the presence of generalized unions) except for the case of errors: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-68296/Union-Types-fo...
Not in the slightest. No different than a player playing optimally or with tight adherence to a strategy like Brunson's SuperSystem. Game Theory Optimal Poker is just the given when playing MTT - although many platforms have some form of Real Time Assistance detection.

Google's purchase of Wiz falls apart
In the past I’ve used a blog literally to make small notes on very simple things that I always ended up having to look up, or for notes on the “right way” to do something.

For example: for years I was using Pythons requests library incorrectly. The way I was doing it worked - but it wasn’t correct.

Once I published a short blog on the correct way - the correct way seemed to stick better in my mind!
To Punish Thai Police, a Hello Kitty Armband
True, I started as I began thinning and luckily caught it early enough. It hasn't solved the pre-existing thinning completely, but it's prevented any further loss and resurrected enough follicles that were on the verge of death that if you were to look at me on the street, you wouldn't say I'm thinning/balding.

The problem with doing anything after "full" balding has progressed is that the follicles have just completely died off, which is way more difficult to solve than preserving or stimulating existing growth

What my doctor has told me, after attending a urology + prostate cancer conference, is to think of the prostate as a sponge that absorbs testosterone. And once the sponge overflows, prostate cancer can be triggered.

But once cancer has occurred, adding more testosterone doesn't matter because the sponge is already super-saturated.

In fact, doctors who have this perspective will permit men with prostate cancer to continue testosterone therapy.
On the one hand, abandoning an incumbent President with the all of the strengths that entails just months from the election because you let the other side control the narrative with their "crippling dementia" meme seems like political suicide, and you can usually trust the American left to do the wrong thing for the right reasons.

On the other hand, American politics is so fickle and vain that even a minor gaffe on camera can doom a political career (see the "Dean Scream.") Although this standard only seems to apply to Democrats, it's still a factor. What really killed Hillary Clinton's chances wasn't systemic misogyny, or the email leaks, but her expression. She had a memeable crazy face, and that became her entire identity for many Americans. Now "Sleepy Joe" is the identity of Joe Biden.

The only question now is, what will be the meme that they deploy against Kamala Harris? I don't think the tried and true "probably a pedophile" or "crippling dementia" options are going to work, and "blood drinking satanic priestess" has probably worn out its welcome. They'll probably go "crypto-muslim" like they did with Obama.

edit: looks like they're going with "all of this is an attempted coup." A bold strategy by the insurrectionist party, going back to the "stolen election" well, but it seems to be a perennial favorite. Let's see if it works for them.

>> They could shine a light on how computers do or don't work, yet how many people are holding the torch?

Scant few, unfortunately. I think in the AI community there is a general agreement that bees and ants have some kind of intelligence but I don't see anyone doing much about it, like using it as a model for AI (although note e.g. Ant Colony Optimisation and other biologically inspired algorithms). For example, I have seriously considered applying for funding for a project titled "Arthropod-Like Intelligence" that would seek to create an artificial agent (a robot of some sort) with autonomous capabilities at the level of a spider. Unfortunately, every time I start to write up the proposal I immediately imagine the ridicule it -and I- would be subjected to by any funding committee and fellow researchers in AI and I give up. So yes, the current agreement about what counts as intelligence is limiting to the advancement of science. But there is some progress, slow as it is- thanks to people bolder than myself.

With octopi I think it's a different matter. People generally don't get to see how octopi behave. Once they're shown examples, like in videos etc, I think most are convinced. So it's more an element of surprise, rather than a real resistance to the idea. I think the debate is more on different aspects of let's say broader cognition, like self-awareness, the ability to feel pain, etc. Again I think the safe bet here is to adopt the default position that all animals are intelligent, self-aware and can feel pain, since there's no reason that humans should be special in that respect. But, really, it's not my field so my opinion doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

>> The corrected discussions are likely to appear long after computer thinking breakthroughs which happen on the scale of years to decades.

Yeah, unfortunately science takes a very long time. But it works in the end and there's no better way we know. I don't guess I have to argue about that though.

The reason poker is a successful game, outside of the inherent fun, low barrier to entry, and high skill ceiling, is that you can leverage one or many different skills to achieve victory hand to hand.

This includes 'soft skills' like body-language reads, speech-play, false-representation, baiting players into non-optimal play, as well as the underlying mathematical basis.

The luck element - known elsewhere as RNG Jesus - is mitigated completely over 10,000 hands by appropriately skilled players. There's a reason the composition of the final tables of the WSOP can be so static year on year, multiple bracelet winners wouldn't be a thing otherwise .

A fully optimised 'safe' player can be beaten both short-term and long-term live by a player who is skilled in reading tells, or simply bluffing. The BBV may be different, but the concept of a 'hero fold' exists for a reason - and is often more satisfying than a 'hero call' to veteran players.
Please, kick out all the brazilians that invaded your country. They are more skilled than the average brazilian that didnt emigrate and we sure need those here. It makes no sense to be the scapegoat of unhappy extremists in australia or any other country

Attention in SRAM on Tenstorrent Grayskull (1.5x SRAM, 30x cheaper than H100)
When implementations of the Transformer's self-attention layer utilize SRAM instead of DRAM, they can achieve significant speedups. The Tenstorrent Grayskull architecture provides a large SRAM, distributed across a grid of cores. This work presents a fused kernel for Grayskull, that exclusively utilizes its large SRAM by combining matrix multiplication, attention score scaling and Softmax operations. Additionally, a dedicated Softmax kernel utilizing the SRAM and a CPU implementation serving as a baseline are presented. The Softmax operation consumes most of the runtime in the computation of attention weights from queries and keys on Grayskull. The speedup of the dedicated Softmax kernel compared to the CPU implementation is up to 10x, and the Softmax implementation inside the fused kernel is approximately 1.8x faster than the dedicated Softmax kernel. The time and memory complexity of all implementations is quadratic in sequence length. Currently, the Grayskull e150 is approximately 30x cheaper for the general public than an Nvidia H100 PCIe (a state-of-the-art GPU) and offers approximately 1.5x more SRAM.

You can easily do composable tagged (by index type or even comp time strings) tuples in C++. The syntax is not pretty, but there is minimal to non-existent overhead.

On the other hand, thanks to the loose "duck typed" nature of templates, you can write functions that act on a subset of the fields of a type (even type checking it with concepts) while preserving the type of the whole object.
> current audio production systems have the DAW software directly opening an ALSA device.

I mean, I remember this being the case for a very long time on windows with ASIO too, which is the only reasonable way to run a DAW with acceptable latency there. MacOS has multi-client but I was never able to get latency as low as fine-tuned windows and Linux systems, and in the end that's what matters - you just use your motherboard's chip for OS audio and your pro soundcard for the actual workload.
Pipewire is very close to giving a good experience but there'll always be some overhead - I'm making some art installations running various chains of audio effects on a raspberry pi zero and the difference between going through pipewire even if my app (https://ossia.io) is the only process doing any sound, and going straight to ALSA, is night and day in terms of "how many reverbs I can stupidly chain before I hear a crack".

"The cores under the 3D cache have a notable clock penalty on existing CPUs."

Interesting. I can't find any info on that. It seems that makes sense though since the 7900X is 50 TDP higher than the 7900X3D.

"Right, but my point is it's misleading to call out higher core count and the advantages of 3D stacking"

Yeah, that makes sense. I didn't realize there was a clock penalty on some of the cores with the 3D cache and that only some cores could use it.
And I’ve seen the exact opposite. The 3 PhDs I’ve worked with that fit that criteria all have multiple kids.

My feelings are that if the basic income is not enough to cover the same privilege that the older generations have of home ownership and a pension covered lifestyle (food security, housing security, medical security) then it is not basic.

And also that if it was only given to some at a sliding scale, it is not universal.
Bit of a tradeoff there; so long as it's using its own bytecode, the sharpl executable itself can easily be AOT. Once you start trying to create your own assembly at runtime and run that, it's a LOT of work to get the host to still AOT (because you have to include the dotnet runtime anyway to run the inner assembly!)

And AOT isn't a lot of free perf; it's mostly equivalent to JIT, the big advantage is faster and smaller startup.

(I have used the Roslyn compile API; it's pretty cool but you do have to do more setup. e.g. https://joshvarty.com/2016/01/16/learn-roslyn-now-part-16-th... )
The months of R&D to create a workaround could simply be because the subset of motherboards which trigger this issue are doing something borderline/unexpected with their voltage management, and finding a workaround for that behaviour in CPU microcode is non-trivial. Not all motherboard models appear to trigger the fault, which suggests that motherboard behaviour is at least a contributing factor to the problem.
Would be cool if they laser scanned each of the pieces to share openly so that others could attempt to recreate.
TIL, I've looked it up and apparently you're right. The more fit someone is, the more they sweat. That's so counterintuitive tbh, I would've thought that it would be the opposite since you don't need to strain as much, but I guess there must be some baseline energy use and more muscle mass equals more heating, plus a faster learned cooling response.

Ironically that makes cycling a much better choice for people who aren't fit. Finally something where being lazy gives you an advantage.
this looks cool. will try out. adding a delete option would be nice too.

Google Calendar is not implemented on top of a traditional SQL database but rather on top of Spanner which is more akin to a NoSQL database with a SQL front end.
A separate control character was not needed to indicate where your Hollerith string ended: it ended at the end of the Hollerith string. If you wanted to render a Hollerith string onto print media, you'd often want to feed the line and then return the carriage before printing the next Hollerith string. Of course, that wasn't strictly necessary if you were using a line printer, which would just print the line and advance.

The filesystems I used had 5 kinds of file: random-access, sequential, ISAM, Fortran-carriage-control and carriage-return-carriage-control. The only people who used the latter were the eggheads that used that new-fangled C programming language brought over from Bell Lab's experimental Unix system.

You're probably just looking for the record separator (036). If you are storing multiple text records and a block of memory, that would be the ideal ASCII code to separate them.

Data scientist, and I have had a few examples of seemingly simple "how would you build a schema" job interview questions that I had a difficult time with on the spot.

So last one I remember was how would you build a product table with coupons. Ok, so two tables right, no big deal. Well, we are going to need to keep a history right? So now I need to update and have datetimes for different products and coupons. And now I should think about how to do indexes on the tables, and gosh my join to get the discounted price is that a good way to do that? Most coupons only allow a person to use them once, how the hell am I going to implement that?

They probably just wanted the simple product + coupon table, but let me spin on it for quite a while like a madman.
