Yes there are PoC techniques out there. How do they stand up in practical circumstances though? Who's using any of these techniques at scale and what's the UX like? Something that's very nice about TG search is that it stems the terms, so if for example I search for "deleted", I also get results containing "deletes" and "delete". There is also search by username and by date. How would those be affected?

Why would I want to maintain a local index? How much of my compute and storage will it take? How well will it work across all my devices and clients (I have 3 clients just on my phone)? I personally am a part of over 700 conversions, some having millions of messages, and many of which I rarely interact with, but when I do, I know I have easy, instant access. It sounds highly inconvenient that I should have to constantly maintain any of that for the few times I may want to dive in to check on something and get out again. Might as well those conversations never existed in the first place.

And of course these considerations aren't just for me, but the nearly 1 billion users of the platform.
Well, finale is advertising the price as an offer to their customers, it is hard to see how they could do that without an agreement. How else could they make the offer? Price discussions between competitors is an absolute no-go under EU law.

I always had the feeling that the bivector.net guys are using a bit weird definitions for certain operations, which then result in weird formulas further down the line. Nice to see Eric putting in the effort to examine their mistakes.
So now when you want to use a dependency, you have to update that dependency?

Isn't that a maintenance headache which doesn't really stop people doing that anyway?

I understand the desire for this, having long and messy dependency chains can completely grind large changes to a halt. I'm currently dealing with a .net solution of ~300 projects with a dependency tree that's better described as a dependency web.

But this feels like the wrong solution. Better isolation can be achieved by proper packaging and leveraging of private package repositories.

Domestic food production is a national security concern, especially for a country like Japan which already has abysmal food self-reliance as-is. Not to mention rice is a matter of cultural identity.

Artificially keeping market prices high so rice farmers can make a living is a justifiable thing. There is no free market if the free market is dead.
Yes I think. For us the audit was part of our ISO27001 certification, but i'm pretty sure you can have other certification, as long as an official audit exist.

Basically, do you know the saying 'never roll your own crypto'? It's a bureaucratization of this saying (to avoid people getting sold insecure crypto). Agree or not on the idea that the government should control that (I'm torn tbh), but it isn't a way to force people into illegality to pressure them.

If you pick a path and then want something harder or better, say going into médecine in school. How hard is it going to be?

the abitur i got from the gesamtschule is just as good as the abitur someone got from a gymnasium. if i want to get into medicine or some other highly popular field all i need is good grades in the last 3 years of school.

a 10th grader is 16 years old because first grade starts at 6 years.

those 10th graders that don't continue school go into an apprenticeship, of which there are many choices available. germany has 12 years of compulsory education (9 or 10 years of school and 3 years of either school or professional education)

and no, that is not the same as paying for education.

loans are way harder to get in germany as the banks are much more conservative. getting a loan for school would be practically impossible.
By the way, apart from the fact that dark matter predictions have been contradicted by increasingly sensitive experiments over and over and over, there is another inconvenient piece of observational evidence: An analysis of stellar velocities at the edge of the Milky Way, published last year [1] shows that they are "Keplerian", i.e. following classical behavior without the influence of any purported dark matter. So either the Milky Way is anomalously dark matter deficient (how very convenient :), or maybe the discrepancy that dark matter was invented to explain will simply disappear when more accurate astronomical data including the fainter stars becomes available.

That's the thing, we're not dealing with the kind of science you're used to. We're not dealing with the kind of science anyone is used to - because the impact humanity has had on the climate is unprecedented, and we're unable to make accurate predictions.

What we do have, however, is a fundamental thermodynamic truth. Heat is energy. And that energy has to go somewhere, or do something. We've added energy to the system, we're just waiting to find out what it does.
I think this is an unreasonable bar.

Pixel is a line of hardware products, and to stay competitive in Google's target market, new hardware releases are essentially necessary. Likewise the common thinking in the industry (correct or not, and most likely case-by-case) is that keeping production of older models up and running isn't viable. That's the same reason you can't get first-gen iPhones anymore.

With software, you have the benefit of not having to scrap the entire product at once -- you can keep the sites, domains, brand, whatever -- and because the vast majority of users on something like Hangouts used the official client, you could get away with arbitrary API and interface changes without losing (nearly as much) brand momentum.

Yup. If all Japanese rice came from, say, Thailand (less expensive and major regional rice producer), Thailand would have them by the balls if it came down to it.
They were already doing censorship, just for different things - there was never a free for all because that eventually ends up like 4chan which is not advertiser-friendly.

So you can lose credibility two ways, one by not doing any censorship because people on the internet will be the worst if you let them. Doing too much censorship is also bad because people don't like that either. Of the big causes of censorship currently, I think of things like youtubes copyright claim process and how that is routinely used as a censorship backdoor by anyone - including the police. Sometimes its not even for any good reason and done by unthinking bots. This is banning more perfectly fine content than anything the government has done. I don't understand why there isn't more pushback against that process to punish people for frivolous claims.
Do you mean that if the constraints are visible when you change the code, it's better? But "hidden" constraints which will manifest only under specific conditions under runtime are bad.

LitServe: Lightning-fast serving engine for AI models.
Frankly, there is no advantage to compressed instructions in a high performance CPU core as a misaligned instruction can span a memory page boundary, which will generate a memory fault, potentially a TLB flush, and, if the memory page is not resident in memory, will require an I/O operation. Which is much worse than crossing a cache line. It is a double whammy when both occur simultaneously.

One suggested solution has been filling in gaps with NOP's, but then the compiler would have to track the page alignment, which would not work anyway if a system supports pages of varying sizes (ordinary vs huge pages).

The best solution is perhaps to ignore compressed instructions when targeting high performance cores and confine their usage to where they belong: power efficient or low performance microcontrollers.

This doesn't make sense to me, if the prices need to be high for farmers to survive, how is it artificial? You're just paying twice, once in tax and once for the product.

Not really. RISC-V's benefits are not the "Reduced Instruction Set" part, it's the open ISA part. A small instruction set as actually has several disadvantages. It means you binary bigger because what was a single operation in x86 is now several in RISC-V, meaning more memory bandwidth and cache is taken up by instructions instead of data.

Modern CPUs are actually really good at deciding operations into micro-ops. And the flexibility of being able to implement a complex operation in microcode, or silicon is essential for CPU designers.

Is there a bunch of legacy crap in x86? Yeah. Does getting rid of dramatically increase the performance ceiling? Probably not.

The real benefit of RISC-V is anybody can use it. It's democratizing the ISA. No one has to pay a license to use it, they can just build their CPU design and go.
Seconding this: even in the 90s, the central California high school I went to had most of the top students looking at the military if they didn’t love FFA – the costs were already high enough thanks to Reagan’s cuts that they couldn’t afford tuition at the state schools without significant loans, weren’t from families where taking on that kind of debt was something you did, and the military benefits looked great in an era where you were unlikely to deploy at all or if you did it’d be something like peacekeeping in Bosnia. One of the guys I was in a few classes with ended up deploying into Afghanistan early on. I didn’t see his name in the news after that so I hope he’s okay.

The accessibility is the hardest part. My custom library (in C# atop a weird rendering stack) has partial narration support and full touch/gamepad/mouse/keyboard navigation, but getting all the way to integrating with native screen readers is basically impossible at this point - from investigating it, it'd probably take me at least 3 months to get it working at all, and it wouldn't be portable.

One thing you have to do for reasonable accessibility is maintain a retained model behind the scenes even if you have an immediate mode API, so that's what I did. The immediate mode API does a bunch of caching in order to construct and maintain an appropriate retained mode tree across frames, which makes it possible to cleanly handle things like focus, selection and narration for invisible controls, etc. You also have to bake accessibility into the API from the start, for example by making certain every single widget has a description or a reasonable approximation of one, and by making sure there is an approximation of roles for every widget too.

A simple 'read a text description of the focused/clicked control' also doesn't get you far enough for narration - for example if there's a slider or textarea, you don't want to read the description and then the new value every time it changes, your narration has to be 'smart' and know to only read the description initially.

I'm hoping eventually AccessKit (https://github.com/AccessKit/accesskit) will be mature enough to use though.

Except when a cooking channel sneaks in pornographic advertisements in their story feed and she couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.

> The crop situation index for rice grown in 2023, indicating the amount of the rice harvest, was 101

Does that mean that each acre is producing about 100% of the average production, or that the total production is about 100% of the average production?

The article makes it sound like the change in production is neglectable and that the change in demand is tiny, implying that a high estimate would be about 0.5% increase in demand.

If your goal is to make a lot of money and to influence a lot of people — you are guaranteed to be unhappy. If you make a lot more money than others, you’ll still make a lot less than some. No amount can fulfil that “goal” because it’s not a goal it’s a direction, like “head west, and keep heading west” … you can’t reach “west”.

Different point of view —

If there are people that you care about and your goal is to help those people - you can be happy and you can succeed. If you only help a few, it’s still worth it, because you care about them. If you help a few more, even better.

If you’re hoping to get rich by helping people who you don’t care about, give it up, stop wasting time. Step back and think about it.

LitServe is an easy-to-use, flexible serving engine for AI models built on FastAPI. Features like batching, streaming, and GPU autoscaling eliminate the need to rebuild a FastAPI server per model.

LitServe is at least 2x faster than plain FastAPI due to AI-specific multi-worker handling.

I've run into a different problem: Akamai apparently uses DNS in order to steer you to the correct portion of their CDN, and the set of servers returned by third-party DNS servers turns out to have abysmal peering with my ISP. So third party DNS isn't really useable for me unless I'd run my own custom resolver in order to special-case Akamai.

Telekom DSL and fibre should normally be full IPv4 + v6 dual stack – they're the former state operator and have a relatively generous IPv4 address allocation.
>It sounds like they should have more import duty on foreign foods if anything in this case.

Rice imports are also heavily taxed and tightly regulated to maintain high market prices.

>if the prices need to be high for farmers to survive, how is it artificial?

It's artificial because market prices don't actually care if the supplier can survive. The Japanese government cares about the rice farmers' continued existence.

Only if decoder complexity/ efficiency is you bottleneck
I’m betting on primordial black holes for at least some of it. If you consider early universe densities their formation seems almost certain.

Most models predict that they exist but the unknowns are around how common they are and their mass ranges and therefore whether they could account for most or all dark matter.

There’s a little bit of speculation that “planet nine” is a PBH. I really hope for that one. It would give us actual access to a black hole within probe range, which could allow us to “complete physics.” Could also be a gateway to the universe through gravity assist, letting us yeet interstellar probes out at incredible velocities.

I find "web platform poorly designed, therefore frameworks with 100s of dependencies" a bit too easy, especially when the user experience suffers in the end. I also believe that not every complexity needs to be solved with code. Isn't it a worthwhile exercise to figure out if something can be solved with (significantly) less code?

I agree with you but then I don't think you can call this deliberate practice, deliberate practice is not just sitting down and pushing boundaries, it's also having a clear path. In programming (since you said Alan Kay) sitting down and knowing precisely what you need to do in order to get good is very rare. Here everything is displaced - once you know what is good, everything is downhill. The problem is always overcoming X - that place where you don't know where you are, you don't know where you are going and you somehow need to get to your destination.
