Lightroom was the ultimate one-stop shop but I’ve now come to split my workflow up so much that the editing is now hot-swappable. C1 is looking vulnerable to RawTherapee, I gotta say. Lightroom is sadly a dot in the rear-view mirror.

The article mentions Vikings in the Maghreb as well, but obviously the Vandals under Gaiseric have them beaten there too, having ruled most of the western Mediterranean as far as Tripoli in his time. Germanic tribes, ruling North Africa, building amphitheatres and writing Latin poetry no less.
For making a product with UltraScale+, you do not need a dev kit.

You may use e.g. the KRIA K24 SOM ($250) or the KRIA K26 SOM ($325) (the sizes of the FPGAs differ for these variants).

For designing a product with these SOMs, you can buy a few cheap development boards (the development boards including a SOM are cheaper than the SOM bought separately, so obviously they cannot be bought in big quantities) like the Kria KD240 Drives Starter Kit or the Kria KV260 Vision AI Starter Kit or the Kria KR260 Robotics Starter Kit.

You may buy these SOMs as single units at higher prices or as hundreds at discounted prices at many distributors.

These SOMs include 2 GB or 4 GB DRAM memory, QSPI or eMMC flash memory and some interfaces, like USB 3, Ethernet, PCIe Gen2 x4, transceivers suitable for HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 etc. and the FPGAs include quadruple Cortex-A53 + double Cortex-R5 cores, which can initialize the FPGA or reconfigure it remotely whenever desired and which can run a Linux OS. The FPGA also includes a Video Codec Unit, but that is limited to an aggregated resolution of 4kp60 (i.e. either a single 4k stream or up to 32 lower resolution streams), and also a Mali GPU and a (slow) DisplayPort controller that can be used as the video output for the operating system run on the Arm cores.

Elasticsearch is a pain to maintain, the docs are all over the place, and the API is what you end up with if developers run free and implement everything that jumps to their mind.

But there just isn’t anything comparable when it comes to building your own search engine. Postgres with a vector extension is good if all you want to do is a vector search and some SQL (not dismissing it here, I love PG); but if you want more complex search cases, Elasticsearch is the way to go.

Thought about it. All I gather is that there might be some slight disagreement in the exact distribution of promised future value, but that is minor detail. The people involved are still aligned generally, working towards a common goal.
I believe that results like these show that our algorithms are woefully inadequate, and something much faster has to exist, if a NN can do so much better with all the overhead.
Thank you. I’m familiar with OSDev however my main gripe with them historically is that it was incredibly disorganized and written by amateurs who weren’t good at doing system design. The information was scattered and had lots of incomplete articles. I’m sure my frustration comes through. Maybe situation has changed today.

I’ve flipped through Windows Internals years ago to find out how their multi-level scheduler works.

I’m interesting in putting together an OS for fun. Don’t even care to blog about it. I have experience with assembly and embedded systems with relatively little to no OS overhead, mostly 8-bit. Reverse engineering isn’t that bad either. Data sheets of processors don’t frighten me, usually. I hook their pins up to oscilloscopes and watch the lines go. I’m looking for an engaging, hands on book written by a competent systems engineer that is paced for programming. Tanenbaum/Minix 3 looks promising. Is this a ground up book with assignments or does he hand you a ready-made OS?

Plan 9 => Inferno, which is still Plan

Alef => Limbo => Go.

Being able to backport Go into Plan 9, doesn't make sense in this context, that isn't how historical evolution works.

Also even Inferno has the necessary C infrastructure to port Go, if someone hasn't done it already.
But maybe a bit of happy coincidence, or luck? Like, yes he made the final decision to use the music made by C418, but I really think you couldn't have made anything better. So, lucky those two got together? But then again, deciding to only occasionally start playing a song definitely was a great decision by notch.

I'm really someone paying attention to soundtracks. I care and think about the music people put into games. Minecraft definitely has one of the best, most recognizable and iconic soundtracks. And I've been gaming since the 90s.
That wealth is unevenly distributed. As a Gen-Xer myself, I grew up in the 70s and 80s. In the UK at least in the north of England, there was massive unemployment.

At the start of my career, I earned very little (I was lucky to have a job at all). Certainly no spare money to save for the first decade.

Then house prices went insane, and the financial crash and almost zero interest rates meant we got no value from compounding the minimal amount I could save for most of the rest of my working life so far.

I am lucky in the sense that I now earn a lot compared to my peers. I am fully in catch up mode. Despite what I earn, the majority of it goes to pension contributions and paying off my very large mortgage (on a tiny house next to the railway tracks). I have very little disposable income.

And I am doing a lot better than most of my peers, who don't even have the luxury of having somewhere to live and not being in absolute poverty when they retire.

Some people have obviously done very well in my generation, but most have not.
Yeah thanks for the extra insight. On the modular modelling system bit, this is something we're not particularly good at telling people or highlighting. You can solve any PDE you want with PyBaMM but a lot of the high level battery models have been built upon several classes of lower level models that make battery specific assumptions. The Oxford University software research group headed by our good friend Martin gave a really nice intro course this year which helps you build a model from scratch which I find always helps with understanding https://train.rse.ox.ac.uk/material/HPCu/libraries. We should do more non-battery examples too, there is this one solving transient heat conduction in a rod https://docs.pybamm.org/en/latest/source/examples/notebooks/...

> As for NeuMIP, it can produce results with a higher quality than ours in terms of MSE, at the cost of a higher storage and per-material training.

> Furthermore, our network can be applied to three typical types of woven fabrics once trained, but NeuMIP have to be trained per material which takes a long time

> Specifically, we introduce a simple encoder-decoder structure, where the encoder compresses the fabric pattern and other parameters into a material latent vector, and the decoder interprets the material latent vector with a spatial fusion component and a small angular decoder. Thanks to the lightweight encoder and decoder, our network is able to achieve real-time rendering and editing. Meanwhile, our network only occupies a small storage of 5 MB, even for scenes with multiple fabric materials.

Yeah. This is really just a simple solution that can be quickly trained and that compresses the problem space better at the cost of some fidelity.

> It strongly implies that the person putting it in writing didn't know it was illegal, because otherwise they wouldn't have put it in writing.

Just because someone created evidence that didn’t have to exist doesn’t mean they didn’t know their actions were illegal.

On Chris Hansen’s latest predator sting show the suspects frequently acknowledge, in writing, the age of the decoy and the sex acts they want to perform. They also take steps to create alibis, suss out if it is a sting, or otherwise avoid getting caught, which indicates clearly that they know what they are doing is illegal.
Yeah I know people who started playing with me and other buddies when they were still in college and now they play on the same server and map with their kids.

I think a few chains have realised they've taken the rip-off increases too far.

In the UK for example, Pret has brought back its £1 filter coffee (a staple of many years up until the pandemic/shortly after. But still overpriced as it tastes disgusting). Perhaps they also realised raising their croissants 60% was too much, and have reduced it down to only a 30% increase. A competitor, Greggs, has been killing them with new stores opening weekly

I can't keep up with McDonald's pricing but I know the value items such as a cheeseburger and double cheeseburger (£2.29) never went away. But they've made some big increases in eg mcflurry (regular size used to be £1, now something like £2.40)

Perhaps some companies must be feeling the pinch, or at least, being crushed by competition

I read a bunch of Hilbert's letters once, thinking it would be an interesting window into a significant mind. It was 90% departmental politics - not really the cynical kind: he was really concerned with getting good mathematicians jobs (in Göttingen or elsewhere).

At $dayjob I work on a very dense UI for a financial institution. Think Bloomberg terminal in React and RTK. It's extremely customizable and had lots of elements updating multiple times per second (charts, graphs, enormous tables, etc.) with realtime data coming through over a websocket. We do very little actual performance tuning and mostly just follow best practices.

I don't think React is to blame for your performance issues.

That tool is for someone who needs to maximize battery life for a small device.

For higher powered DC loads, there are Hall effect sensors. These usually come as plastic-enclosed devices with a hole in them, through which you route one of the high-current wires. They need some DC power, usually 5V or so, and you get a voltage out proportional to the current. They sense the magnetic field from the wire, without requiring a direct connection, which is good when you're measuring high current, high voltage, or both. Some have a split ring so you can install the sensor around an existing wire without cutting it.

For AC, there are current transformers, which install the same way, and put out a small current in a fixed ratio to the current in the wire being sensed.

The hand-held version is a clamp-around AC/DC current meter, a common tool.

These are all standard, modestly priced items.
They are cramped in a tiny table where you can barely see them.

The PDF button did work for me, but only the second time: the first time, for some reason, the blob:// scheme was transformed into blob.com, a scammy SEO parking website.

Add to that the hijacking of the back button, and boy what a terrible experience...

While I haven't benchmarked, my reasoning is that for parallel workloads (especially VMs but also containers), penalty from context-switching should be vastly reduced by even those slower cores.

When union workers strike, they do so collectively, which means that the bargaining power is not that of a single individual but that of the collective workforce. Employers often can’t just wait out a strike because they lose tons of money when all its employees aren’t working. The union’s strength lies precisely in this collective bargaining power.

Also, unions raise money to support striking workers and unions emerged initially in the jobs where workers were paid the least and exploited the most (see early 19th century textile workers in the U.S., for example). The decline of unions since then is a more complicated history but the reality is that unions most benefit the most exploited workers who would otherwise have no recourse as individuals. Collective support helps maintain workers throughout a strike.
Instead of a rewrite, why not try using AgGrid? It's a pure JS grid library that's really fast and it's got react bindings.

It's even got a batch update API.

The climate aspect isn't much of a problem due to scale.

Some cultures (not the US apparently) consider wishing an early birthday bad luck so I'd expect them never to celebrate on Feb 28. I know this is a thing in Central Europe, not sure how common it is. It was a big culture clash in a company I know when they moved HQ from Germany to the US because the Germans would get offended by Americans wishing them happy birthday when their birthdays were on the weekend or a bank holiday.
Every blog should be able to have pull requests eh
This is excellent advice. Another thing I will add is if something is not ethical, misleading, or dishonest, just do not do it. The world will be a better place if people behave ethically. Also, I strongly suspect that long term success in business requires ethical conduct.

I remember when they renamed python to python3 or something similar. A lot of people were unhappy, and the maintainer's response was a very rude deal-with-it. It's apparently how he behaves toward people in general.

At the time it felt pointlessly rude but now I realise that the man works for free, and gets to be the king of his own turf. Not all software projects need to be a direct democracy. He doesn't owe us anything.
> humanity isn’t good for the planet

CO2 levels were at least an order of magnitude higher millions of years ago. Perhaps that is better and humanity is actually improving the planet? Who is to say what is good for a planet?

Humanity may not be good for humanity.
Interestingly, the name Nimitz doesn't sound that much Germanic, it could have been a Germanized version of an originally Slavic name like Němec. (Which would mean "German"; quite a recursion :)

The Nimitz family stems from Bremen, and quite deeply so (13th century), which would fit, because Bremen/Lueneburger Heide is not that far from territories settled by Polabian Slavs.
To spell it out: leap years happen less than every four years, so the average birth rate over four years is actually closer to 2,616 - quite outside the range of 6,574 - 12,301.
This was my impression also, that there is a lot of difference how academia works across Europe. I'm not really an academic, but I went to a small international machine learning conference some years ago. The Norwegian postdocs got paid better than the French professor, apparently.

How would mutual TLS have helped here?
I heard about this supposed downside, but it makes no sense to me. For a start, when I applied for a mortgage I was asked for gross income. I guess they trusted me to figure out the rest. But the main thing is you can just stop doing the salary sacrifice at any time. It's not like you're locked in for any amount of time.
It likes to fall over to the secondary server, doesn't it.
I suspect the appeal of the Unix Philosophy is strongest at the earliest phases of the system's evolution.

Once you've written some very basic boostrap tools, the "second generation" of stuff that adds convenience and flexibility are a lot simpler.

A trivial example: 20 seconds after you wrote "directory listing", someone will say "I want a directory listing, but sorted by date, and it would be awesome if it didn't immediately scroll past the end of my screen."

With Unix Philosophy tools, you might already have have a "sort" and "paginate" command, so it's just piping stuff together. They can do it themselves, or it will take 20 seconds to explain.

Without it, you're going to have to add additional options to "directory listing" (or parallel commands) to handle the sorting and pagination features. The tools get bigger and buggier for the same functionality.

Early Unix machines weren't much bigger than mid-80s PCs-- 512K of memory or less-- but offered a very rich command line experience compared with DOS machines of similar sizes.

Programs like database or CAD packages probably go monolithic because they're more "state dependent" than your usual command-line tools. "sort" and "more" can take their inputs from stdin and feed them out to stdout, and when they're done, forget everything with no damage.

That wouldn't work well for other packages. You could probably make a database or CAD system that worked as composable units, like `echo db.sql | db-query "select username from accounts where credit < 0" | xargs delete-account` or `echo image.dxf | add-circle -x 200 -y 400 -r 60 > image.dxf` But you'd spend a lot of time reloading and reparsing the same files. A persistent monolith that keeps the data file open and in whatever internal representation is most efficient is going to perform better.

Some use cases also have limited composability, because the user can only plan a few moves ahead. Tools that encourage interactive/experimental usage, like drafting software, might involve the user stopping every step or two to make sure they're staying on plan, and queuing up a series of commands could wreak havoc. Some of these packages ended up simulating composable tools through internal macro/scripting languages which still avoided the penalty of having to rely on the OS to orchestrate every single action.
