I marvel at the one-hit wonders who pivot into behind-the-scenes mega success.

Linda Perry is a top example. Had a minor early-90s hit with 4 Non Blondes What's Going On (title is actually "What's Up?"). Then exited the spotlight and became a songwriter and producer with major hits like Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful."

Considering that some of the champions behind machine learning, like Google, are companies that made a living out of violating your privacy just to serve more ads to your eyeballs.. I wouldn't be so charitable.

Tech bros have an inherent disregard for the privacy of others or for author rights for that matter. Was anyone asked if their art could be used to train their replacement?

> Automotive's advanced features require chips but not the most advanced chips

Exactly, and if Matt Stoller was honest he would bring up that point.

Most automotive chips use 28nm, 40nm, and 60nm nodes and China has been very competitive in this space now because of existing capacity built from OSAT and AMTP consolidation in China by Taiwanese and Malaysian/Singaporean players like UMC before the 2019 HK protests, MediaTek, and ASMPT from the 2000s-2010s.

It's analog chips, 28nm/40nm nodes and Packaging that have been getting a significant amount of CHIPS funding, as well as similar funding from the Japanese, Taiwanese, South Korean, Malaysian, and Indian governments recently.

From a NatSec perspective, it's those kinds of nodes that have a critical impact as most weapons systems can subsist on a Intel i7 and Nvidia Maxwell comparable CPU and GPU.

Think EWS, C-RAMs, Guidance Systems, etc.

> Isn't a lot of CHIPs Act money help prop up Intel who didn't succeed in mobile and is laying off thousands anyway

Those layoffs are staff who don't have experience with High NA EUV processes (aka staff who didn't skill up). I can safely say that.

The CHIPS funding is a mix of subsidizing High NA EUV nodes as well as domestic OSAT and AMTP/Packaging capacity.
Wait, so they added 30g of erythritol and observed negative impacts? Most the time I see it around 7g plus other sweeteners. It’s almost never alone now.

I bet they need to look at 30-45g sugar harder now. Maybe uncover some of that (big sugar suppressed) research that it causes heart disease.

I don't think eliminating emotions from human interaction is a very smart thing to do, and certainly not the only alternative to screaming into the void.

We're already at the point where we're almost not supposed to have emotions anymore, turning more into robots every day.

Every single aspect of being human is emotional, every single decision you make is emotional, no matter how hard you work to justify it mentally.

The idea is nice in theory, if it wasn't for all the humans involved it might actually work.

Launching One Million Square
I don't know, erythritol is the one where they found this alarming association when they weren't even expecting it. Couple that with new research showing that the effect occurred *in every subject* and I personally think there's enough evidence to say that there is no known safe amount of erythritol to consume. These studies look extremely different than your typical "hur dur, XYZ is toxic or ABC is a superfood!!!" garbage studies.
Hello there!

Inspired by OneMillionCheckboxes.com, I thought, "Why not challenge myself and have some fun with my own system design?" So, I decided to create something similar—a website with one million squares, reminiscent of r/place!

The goal? Pure fun and a chance to see how well I can design a system that handles a massive number of users.

I'd love for you to check it out and maybe even stress-test it a bit. Let's see how far we can push the limits together!

> no sugar is miserable.

Few weeks. After that steamed carrots taste really sweet. If you drink soft drinks that are extremely sour and sweet, then eat chips for maximum salt and fat taste, you are essentially blinding your taste buds. Everything else tastes bland.

Everyone can habituate. People have lived long time with eating less sweets than we do today and they were not miserable.
A notebook for seeing with language models
I'm trying to think of how you could simulate the non-instantaneous/clocked aspect of it in code without using an HDL, so you could write a more accurate simulator in a familiar language. I'm thinking you'd want each gate to store its value on the current clock tick, then you'd have a RunTick() function or something which uses the previous values to calculate the new values on the current tick for everything, then stores those new values. I'm not sure how that'd work for an SR latch, a gated SR latch, or a D flip-flop, if you wanted to model those at a gate level; would you have to model those as primitives?

EDIT: After a bit of thinking and bouncing ideas off of ChatGPT, one approach might be to have an SR latch that gets initialized to some arbitrary valid output, which can then use that starting output to calculate future states. From there, you could build up more complicated elements.

That's correct. The Arm and RISC-V cores are entirely separate, sharing no logic.
We're talking about what language people use and why. How well it runs on their platform in practice is a much more relevant factor for that than how cross-platform it is in theory.

I feel like thats a bit too hard of an idea to keep hidden considering the number of engineers and people who worked on this project. I would assume it's some combination of how models are not good at knowing specific people or companies very well since they use patterns for their output and the model being instructed to not allow doxing and harassment.

Not to mention that the rich and powerful you imply are not tech savvy and probably did not understand or know about this tech when the datasets were being made.

I think in this case a well defined modular monolith would be a excellent starting point, especially if you need to (1) build from zero and (2) hit the ground running with a small team (without all the extra things you need to pay attention to and create solutions for when going the microservices route).

The great thing about the modular monolith is that it gives you a fantastic foundation to grow: You can still invest in multiple teams each handling a certain part of your problem domain (due to the modularity); and because it is modular you could easily break it apart, and evolve it, into a microservices architecture if and when there comes a time you need to do so (due to extensive problems getting code shipped, or difficulties concerning NFRs defined for the architecture, for example scaling issues in production).

No it was a both a huge mistake and a symptom of underlying problems. Making smartphone SoCs is a huge profitable market that would have given Intel massive volumes to support R&D etc and slowed TSMC. The fact that they couldn’t manage it with every apparent advantage is very telling.
> 4WD and no clearance

I think I've only really seen this as a Honda Element - otherwise I'm not sure it meaningfully exists. The reality with most AWD cars is that their important guts are hanging lower compared to 4WD trucks even when the paper ground clearance is similar.

My previous car was AWD and I have a 4WD SUV now largely for off road performance, and there's no question 4WD (particularly 4LO) is much better at getting unstuck in trail conditions. The AWD is definitely superior for icy pavement in the cold months though.

> Bonus points if you don't care about wrecking it

This was actually what mainly pushed me over to the 4WD side instead of something like the Forester. The crossovers can actually get you to a lot of places but they do get thrashed if you do it enough. They are still more geared for pavement use but, if you're wrecking your suspension off road, the on road performance isn't gonna be great either.
It's actually 10 masters (I+D for 4 cores + DMA read + DMA write) versus 6 masters. Or you could pre-arbitrate each pair of I and each pair of D ports. But even there the timing impact is unpalatable.
So, non-solutions, as I said. You refer to a state that is 10 times smaller, has the same demographic problems and over 40% of population with immigration background as a model for Germany, why? Do you seriously believe it can scale to German size? What has it to do with the budget?
That sounds about right.

Thank you. It's been a major effort from the team, and I'm very proud of what they've accomplished.
I can see there's a lot of good advice in the comments. I just wanted to contibute my 2 cents to the matter. I've done a lot of conversions, interconnection of disparate systems, migrations, monkeypatching and straight abominations in my day.
In your position I would hire senior freelancers to patch the system in interations. First, fixing the most anoying issues you have in order to streamline the whole process. This will allow the programmers to really understand the domain and based on that knowledge iterate and consolidate pieces of the architecture until you have what you're looking for.
I don't really believe in complete rewrites or starting from scratch based on my experience. Most of the users/companies I've dealt with (small and big) don't really have documented processes and domain knowledge. Well, that's not fair. It's rare those are documented and up-to-date. That's better :-)
I agree with some of the comments, the technical challenge is what attracts people (at least that's my case).
If you're looking for people to tackle something like this, please send me an email :-)

Google and Samsung tried and failed. Google with their flagship Pixel line, which just doesn't sell well, so they moved downmarket. Samsung with their Galaxy line, but they're always playing catchup/copycat to Apple.

The sad fact is that 1) Google sucks at hardware, 2) Samsung sucks at taste.

Apple really has a magical combination of (arguably) good taste, and operating chops to deliver the hardware at scale.

If the sentiment that regions beyond the Oder-Neiße are part of Germany is fringe, why label Sachsen, Thüringen and Sachsen-Anhalt as Mitteldeutschland? Why is there a Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (MDR) but not an Ostdeutscher Rundfunk, as an analog to NDR, WDR, SDR? It's territory can hardly be seen as the middle of Germany. If you hold the belief that Schlesien is a part of Germany, however, that label suddenly makes sense.

Thanks for making the DEF CON badge! 10000x cooler than last year
I was curious myself, so I've ran a quick benchmark:

import random
import timeit

heights = [random.randint(0, 10000)/100 for i in range(10000)]

def benchmark1(heights):
smallest = heights[0]
count = len(heights) - 1
while count > 0:
if heights[count] < smallest:
smallest = heights[count]
count -= 1
return smallest

def benchmark1b(heights):
a = 1
b = len(heights) - 1
min_height = heights[0]
while a < b:
if heights[a] < min_height:
min_height = heights[a]
a += 1

return min_height

def benchmark2(heights):
smallest = heights[0]
count = len(heights) - 1
while count > 0:
smallest = min(heights[count], smallest)
count -= 1
return smallest

print(timeit.timeit('min(heights)', number=1000, globals={'heights': heights}))
print(timeit.timeit('benchmark1(heights)', number=1000, globals={'heights': heights, 'benchmark1': benchmark1}))
print(timeit.timeit('benchmark1b(heights)', number=1000, globals={'heights': heights, 'benchmark1b': benchmark1b}))
print(timeit.timeit('benchmark2(heights)', number=1000, globals={'heights': heights, 'benchmark2': benchmark2}))

Here are the results in Python 3.11:

0.04471710091456771
0.21777329698670655
0.22779683792032301
0.6679719020612538

So, using min over a list is ~5x faster, using a single variable and a constant 0 is ~5% faster than using two for boundaries, and using min inside the loop instead of the if check is another 3 times slower: so, the old approach of looking for opportunities to use a builtin instead of looping still likely "wins" in the newer interpreters too, but if someone's got 3.14 alpha up, I'd love to see the results.

I might install 3.13 to check it out there too.
