Compared to Zen4, Zen5 has much higher latency between cores on different chiplets. It's possible that a scheduler + app combo could regress on Zen5 for this reason. It sounds basically impossible for single-threaded apps to be impacted because timeslices are really big. Multithreaded apps where threads are communicating constantly could easily run slower if the scheduler sees all the cores as identical and interchangeable.

I don't know much about this topic, but it seems like Windows uses Processor Groups for scheduling[0], and generally tries to fit each NUMA node into 1 Processor Group (as long as it has at most 64 cores in it). Since the issue here is latency between chiplets and no NUMA is involved, all the cores go in the same Processor Group.

By far the funniest thing about AI Seinfeld was not the thing itself, but the Twitch chat going wild
In my experience, that attitude for me was due to the devaluing of spirituality and the resulting overemphasis on rationality.

Funny thing is in hindsight, I didn’t realise how much my “rational” attitude was informed by the Protestant work ethic pervading secular society. It’s like we threw away the god part but kept the part where we’re all “sinners” until we prove ourselves worthy through work.

Instead of appreciating the natural beauty in the world as it is, I was trying to prove myself worthy of being in the world. From that latter, small view, art was difficult to appreciate.
This is beautiful. What warm memories this evokes. Now I can adjust the dimensions and make some dust covers for my books in the Blockbuster video style!
That's not such a long time for math. There have not been so many innovations in the field since then IMO. Mainly the benchmarks might not be as meaningful, and GPU techniques won't be a big part of that book due to its age.

That's bad but most of that takes place all the time with centralised media distributors. Its admittedly much worse on social media (for complex reasons), but censors probably aren't going to be much faster than community notes (unless you're happy with a lot of false positive censoring), and centralized government mandated censoring gives an incredibly dangerous amount of power to the censoring body that will inevitably be abused (swapping social media providers, while nontrivial is much easier than swapping government censoring bodies).

My hope is that eventually the people will develop habits such as distrusting any information without a clear chain of custody.

You could have shared employees. It reminds me of many strange hybrid company ideas I use to ponder.

A lauromat can have big machines that produce steam and hot water. You can power an indoor troppical garden with a swinming pool and an interesting lunchroom. Desk work can be done laying in the grass etc etc

A lot of it is not mine to share, I was basically a CXO hire brought in by Skyler Hartle and Brian Habersberger who created it* to work with them on assessing the viability of the product they'd built behind the scenes, as a business, and it's levels of scale etc. Skyler and Brian are amazing genius level dudes (and also HN users!). I know the whole story end to end, pretty much exactly as it unfolded, it's not really anything like this blog post thinks it is, to the point I don't think I even agree with the author. Again: I'm sorry but much of it is not mine to share, for a great many reasons.

The L in SNL stands for "live".

This was aired one time live and it had a distinct and unmistakable meaning to an impressionable generation of all ages.

But way more people did have their VCRs running.

For years this was the correct answer if a pointless back-and-forth, among people who work together respectfully almost all the time and will be doing so almost all the time in the future, when it would come to such an absurd point that it must end.

The first one to recognize this point has arrived and call "Jane, you ignorant slut" entitled everyone involved to an immediate halt to the escalating discourse. This was a trigger which gained agreement to move in a direction more respectful, forever after that for people who do work together.

Well within corporate decorum to signal that no further disparagement makes sense and the worst it could get is behind us.

Nobody ever said this to each other except one time live, and the real Jane made it clear that it's not harmful to her so what does that tell you about people who can't take a joke.

It didn't used to take a whole lot of social awareness for everyone to benefit by recognizing when they had gotten as comical as SNL.

Calling a truce like this immediately set the stage that further unflattering action from any party signifies who is actually more of a loser than you thought.

I think you could use an ssh tunnel between the intermediary and the destination such that the scp connection from the source makes it all the way through in one go, rather than leaving files on the intermediary. You'd be forwarding to the ssh port via ssh, so it would be a confusing bit of sshception.

If I tried to actually come up with the actual commands for this, I'm sure I'd burn a whole afternoon on fiddling with it.

Gene linked to the severity of respiratory viral infections
Work what? I think Ctrl+F China + collapse arguments still doesn't work.

1) Consumption is "sluggish", i.e. it's small positive growth instead of large precovid positive growth. It's not negative decline let alone collapse. Get off the FLG. Employment rate steady, including new grads at 20% accounting for those in school and not looking for work (i.e. the Chinese tertiary way), 40%-50% for graduate cohorts who takes time job hunting / not ready to settle. Which they will, given broad unemployments is steady, i.e. new grads get job after 1+ year and roll into genpop employment stats. There's 1% drop in new salaries in some industries, people are staying in jobs longer. "New productive" industry jobs, i.e. the high value ones set to drive PRC economy including energy, semi etc experience continuous growth. In aggregate positive, not fantastic, but also opposite of collapse.

2) Exports stabilizing after record covid highs, still only ~20% of gdp, i.e. PRC hasn't been (barely) export dependant for 10+ years at high of ~35%. If you follow brad setser, he'll note PRC exports probably being massively/deliberately hidden/under reported because two way data suggest much higher. BTW export dependant countries regularly over 50-100% export to gdp. Entire overproduction/overexport narrative is retarded considering how little PRC exports as share of GDP.

3) Who said EV was suppose to rescue PRC economy? PRC too big for 1 sector/industry to make difference. Collection of New productive industry jobs doing their part, sure. But generally when you remove RE drama, which they deliberately crippled, you get current modest 5% growth instead of previous 7-8%. Settling to modest growth is expected sooner or later. Modest growth (~5%) is enough to increase GDP PPP gap vs US. Most of projections on PRC passing US GDP assumes eventual modest growth + FX movements i.e strength RMB. Which they strategically don't want to because right now it's all about pricing out incumbant competitors in new export categories. Like CCP can get easy propaganda win by moving RMB band 5-10% to entier per capita $14000 USD high income range, but they don't because modest growth works fine.
> It basically means "not installed"

This seems to be the oddity in the discussion. Not installed has a lot of equivalents in some security models, but not many things have an equivalent to installed as an Android manufacturer package. If a package is re-enabled as a manufacturer one it bypasses play checks and Advanced Protection and maybe can hide itself as a system package.

Letting stalkerware through and avoid detections via the manufacturer store exception is IMO likely to be intentional on Google's part to be able to let Android succeed via manufacturer/telco customizations in countries where laws require malware. An unlocked Pixel was expected to be clean because it wouldn't be setup to be in one of these deals.

Obligatory xkcd

https://xkcd.com/949/
I’ve ran into a few edge cases where nil was a desirable feature. But on the whole I do agree with you. Those situations I mentioned could have been solved another way if nils weren’t available. It would have been more code but it might have had the side effect of that codes behaviour being more explicit. So potential win-win.

This argument feels somewhat moot though. I cannot see how Go could ever reverse their nil decision because it’s so core to how interfaces work that I suspect it would end up being a massive breaking change.
I think the problem with putting this into the standard library is that while Go may not be super focused on absolutely top-tier performance, it does generally try to avoid offering things that are unexpectedly slow or unexpectedly allocate large things. A sort-by-keys on the standard map would require allocating a full slice for the keys in the sort routine to do the sort, which would surprise people who expect build-in iterators to not immediately do that.

Plus it's in the class of things that's pretty easy to implement yourself now. There's always a huge supply of "but the library could just compose these two things for me". If you stick them all in things get bloated. You could literally have written it in the time it took to write the complaint. You got 80% of the way there as it is, I just tweaked your code a bit to turn it into an iterator: https://go.dev/play/p/agBGl_rT7XS
Oxide RFD 508: Whither CockroachDB?
my guess is there is a bug in Windows related to scheduling which makes Zen 5 slower and by using the admin accounts for testing but comparing to Zen 4 tests results without admin account it was obfuscated.

I mean on Linux Zen 5 seems to be clearly faster then Zen 4 by a good margin.

Is Western culture stopping people from growing up?
As strange as it is to say, I think avoiding problems like this might be one of the biggest productivity boosts from new languages like Go, Rust, Swift, etc. New ecosystems get a chance to “do over” the standard library and flush all the horrible legacy choices made before we knew better (locales, UTF16, etc).

The standard library in Zig, Go, Rust, and many others is miles ahead of the C standard library or posix api. That is reason enough to use them.
My favorite feature of mpv so far is being able to apply CRT shaders in real time to content. This solution also handles properly downscaling HD videos into actual 240p buffers that then gets upscaled to your screen resolution by the shader.

In the Steve Jobs biography, the author notes that Steve believed his cancer to have been caused by a particularly stressful time in his life, even though a scientific link between stress and cancer had never been found. I’m quoting from memory here, but basically the same sentiment as the one you’re sharing it seems.
I don't believe the scrollwheel works to seek video, not sure, but MPV can go frame by frame. It's bound to the keyboard by default, but you can tweak your config and bind it to the scrollwheel.
2nd amendment protects the 1st. You either have both or neither.
mpv has a UI for things like seeking forward and backward, displaying info, etc. But you typically start it like:

% mpv file.mp4

That's what they mean.

It doesn't really have things such as "File → Open" like VLC has. At least not out of the box, but it's scriptable with Lua and there are scripts and even entire "alternative frontends" that can do this.

It can also be remote controlled via a socket; I built an audio player like this; works pretty well.

In general, if you want a "Windows-like" or "macOS-like" experience then VLC is pretty good. If you want a more "unix-beardy" experience then mpv is pretty good.
I owned several generations of Pixel. Nightmare. Half baked software. Sometimes would crash on first setup. Just a spaghetti mess which you can't afford with something so central to daily life as a phone. It was like some kind of academic software experiment. They literally couldn't pay me to use one today even as a second phone. I don't trust google.

There was something really amusing with how oddly broken and nonsequitur the show was. It was the Seinfeld you loved but the jokes were bizarre, dadaist, and would end awkwardly in the middle of a scene after an uncomfortable pause. It was addictive in how unpredictable it could be (well, when jokes weren't repeating). And you're right - the energy was fantastic. I loved twitch chat spamming memes like NEW <x>!!! Or going insane every time Kekler showed up. Or spamming MMMM when the extremely loud microwave turned on.

>state-funding, ideally supported by a tax on AI usage

Why should the state be funding artists in the first place? If the public can't be convinced to patronize artists directly (eg. buying their stuff), what makes you think they'd want to be compelled to fund artists via taxation?
Vala was super neat as it came out of the ElementaryOS line of work. Their holistic focus towards usability and approachability of a Linux distro was inspiring enough that I even supported them with my meager student developer income. Since then, I've moved to Mac and haven't dabbled much in desktop Linux machines. As it grew older and some things got broken up (like serenity and ladybird), the novelty-energy wore off and I looked away for years.

As a language, I hoped Vala would pave the way for a beautiful high performance application tool. Instead, we got Electron.
On my Macbook Air, mpv adds an orange tint to videos so I hate when I have to use it because it's the only player that can play a file I downloaded.

"Playing well with others" is very common in computers, and it translates well to meatspace too.

There are lots of programming languages that are built on coventions (for example in Python, private variables are not actually protected in any way).

Well, you made broad stroke generalizations and prophesied an imminent apocalypse. The German propaganda was all about this back in the 1940s (as mentioned in the article), drumming up mass hysteria to justify the atrocities against the Soviets.

Even if you're biased and seem to have a binary view of the world (black v white, good v evil etc), may be you mean well, and I'm placing too much weight in your words.

I appreciate the effort put into breaking down the barcode's information.
The explanation I’ve read in the past is that the difference lies in how VLC was initially focused on playback of video streamed over a network (hence the name Video LAN Client), which was generally more rocky a couple decades ago when the quality and bandwidth of the average connection was lower and the only routes between the client and server could be highly indirect or routed through weak nodes.

In that environment, playing at all without constantly dropping out or buffering is the goal, which is more achievable when fudging accuracy/correctness (which wouldn’t have been possible anyway).

Not sure how true that is though, it’s not something I’ve ever verified.
Seems like the bug is specific to the iOS app when scanning QR codes.
If you only have one then you have the ideal number. Out here in N Texas where I live, I am surrounded by native grasses, wildflowers, trees, etc. Some years there are not many grasshoppers. Those are the good years.

When you are trying to garden at the same time with grasshoppers and you have a drought, they will eat everything that has any hint of moisture.

They girdled one young apple tree, killing it as it was in a growth spurt. The only part alive now are the water sprouts from the root graft and I'm leaving that alive so they can chew on something.

They ate every type of vegetation that I have out here - vegetable plants, fruit tree leaves and bark, nut tree leaves and bark, my olive trees, native wildflowers including salvia, sunflowers, lantana, etc. They even ate the tops out of my walking onions so that the only thing left green and relatively unscathed were three pomegranate bushes that took damage but weren't stripped.

There were so many grasshoppers of several varieties that dozens would fly up at every step - literally a couple dozen per sq meter. I could swing a baseball bat and be guaranteed to hit at least one per swing. It was ridiculous.

The area around my place is being slash-and-burned for a new subdivision. They literally strip the trees, scrape the topsoil to the limestone caprock, scrape the limestone caprock down several feet, haul in topsoil and road base and build streets into the subdivisions where the soil is now deep enough to plant a tree without hitting a rock as long as you don't get ambitious and dig more than three feet down.

As a result, all the flora and fauna and a broad cornucopia of living things show up in my yard since it is still largely untouched and covered by native oaks, elms, hackberries, toothache trees, and a single mesquite that I was glad to see sprout about 25 years ago. I have returned my place to native grasses and wildflowers, clearing a lot of really noxious weeds in the process. All the ordinary things are being squeezed onto the remaining undeveloped land here so I get a bumper crop of grasshoppers. That isn't what I was hoping for but it is what I have ended up with lately.
