I'm still hopeful of the fact that Intel is, in many aspects "too big to fail", and with their cash on hand, they have enough of a burn rate to turn this ship around, even if they aren't being as intense on cutbacks as they should be.

The question remains, will Intel survive in its current form or could an activist investor stir up a hostile takeover and change the calculus?
That's such a good insight. It really was the SpaceX moment or maybe we can say SpaceX was the TSMC moment of space since TSMC came first.

I'm generally down on sorting unless you have a lot of one particular type of waste. If you are not generating a full truck worth of that type of waste every week sorting efforts mean more trucks (since the truck with compartments for each type cannot hold as much waste because of the compartments, and also it has to go empty when one compartment fills). Combine that with the need verify the sorting was done correctly and it isn't worth it. We have made trade progress on automated sorting machines that solve a lot of problems - lets instead ban things that cannot be automatically sorted.
Both FFT and FWT beak a signal down into frequency components. I used the word 'essentially' to make it clear I'm not equating the two but saying they both output frequency components, but that the FWT coefficients apply to specific points in time, whereas FFT doesn't
Traditional libraries lend out the physical copies they bought. For ebooks, they have an agreement with publisher to lend out a certain number of copies.

Owners are allowed to make digital copies for personal and archival use. They aren't allowed to transfer copies. The rights of digital ebook are in the license and most prohibit transfers. The rights of physical book are attached to the book.

Nobody notices or cares when done on personal scale. But publishers care when Internet Archive did it on large scale.
The infra team at my work is now keeping it on for new EL9 installs due to pressure from the security team, but for the past 10-15 years they kept it disabled.

I'm hoping it sticks. Just check audit logs when you get an error, it is not that hard, right?
I think the issue is that TSMC exists, which takes up a lot of oxygen and opportunity. Whereas in space, there wasn't a high quality opportunity, so SpaceX had a lower hurdle to being the best (even though that still wasn't easy!).
Or get a Macbook Air. Got the M1 in a few minutes in John Lewis and still good. No sleep problems, no fan to whirr.

The previous Macbook Air 11 also was great for sleep/wake. The Windows 7 Thinkpad before that was ok but took like 30 seconds to restart from sleep and would crash sometimes.
Can you imagine, if public libraries weren't already a thing, convincing some Americans to build one in 2024?
I'm not familiar with his work but from a quick search it seems that he's a hustler and is very "eye on the prize." I would think that your characterization of his process is too blasé and that there's actually more conviction behind it, but of course I don't know either. Most of the time I would say that prolific people that seemingly casually whip things up have learned to affect that and there's usually a great deal of obsessiveness happening behind the scenes.

Also, I don't much like the framing of "you don't believe in the projects." It's not meant to be a fault of the person, and I'm sure Pieter and others have graveyards of half-baked projects (which may even be revived one day) - it's part of the process - but I just mean to say that you haven't yet hit on the idea that keeps you up at night (or some nights at least) until it's been realized.

I think this is a disagreement about the word invalidate, and maybe it was a bad pick on my part. The observations don’t make the math wrong, maybe less useful.

But, I say the math can’t be invalidated by observations; and you describe some cases where the math is valid but might or might not be applicable to certain physical cases. So actually, I’m not clear as to what you are saying I’m misunderstanding.

thickness of individual hairs. density of follicles per unit area. hair growth rate. color of hair. do you get a 5-o'clock shadow? how about a noon shadow? how about just a 3 day dusting if you look close enough? do the people hiring you already consider you swarthy? does your neck break out in razor burn if you shave too close, putting you a day behind from the get go?

social norms are not personal choices, and what you call curious is what I call obtuse, but that's personal preference (based on norms I've observed). Two words for you to carry away from this, son: pseudofolliculitis barbae https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudofolliculitis_barbae
A consensus standard happens by multiple stakeholders sitting down and agreeing on what everyone will do the same way. And agreeing one what they won't all do the same way. The things they agree to doing differently don't become part of the standard.

With compilers, different companies usually do things differently. That was the case with C87. The things they talked about but could not or would not agree to do the same way are listed as undefined behaviors. The things everyone agreed to do the same way are the standard.

The consensus process reflects stakeholder interests. Stakeholders can afford to rewrite some parts of their compilers to comply with the standards and cannot afford to rewrite other parts to comply with the standards because their customers rely on the existing implementation and/or because of core design decisions.

> Throughout most of the 2010s, EUV lithography was like the "year of the Linux desktop" - i.e., this year will be the year where EUV was suitable for high volume manufacturing.

We need to learn to recognize the difference between something that's never going to happen for either physical or economic/social/structural reasons, and something that is just really difficult and takes a long time.

I always think of this when I think about fusion and the irritating "fusion is 20 years away and always will be" meme. In reality fusion has been edging closer, and closer, and closer for decades. Like EUV lithography it's just incredibly hard and requires a ton of capital and time and some of the smartest people on Earth to make it a reality. The same logic applies to things like a working HIV vaccine, life extension, or human space flight and space settlement.

The reason there's never been a year of the Linux desktop on the other hand has to do with the full picture of what's required to mass market a desktop OS and support that, not just the technical problems, as well as business reasons around what Microsoft does to incentivize vendors to stay in their ecosystem. Linux desktops are just about ready today but no mainstream laptop/desktop PC vendor is going to sell them for a long laundry-list of non-technical or para-technical (legacy software base) reasons.
Not the OP, but eInk tablets are banned at our work for the same reason, and paper notebooks don't get destroyed.

I one of the reasons is it's easier for a malignant actor to get access to notes without you knowing when it's electronic. At least with a paper notebook you can tell if it's missing.

Maybe a more direct answer to your question would be the discovery of the tetraneutron.
Europe is not densely populated. There is plenty of empty space, they just have decided to place rules on how that space is used.

The US east of the Mississippi and the far west coast has similar (lower, but not by much) population density. However there is a lot of space in Alaska and west of the Mississippi that almost nobody lives in and that brings down the density measures.

I keep SELinux enabled at all times, but it does break quite often. For the sake of sticking to Fedora, wg-quick (wireguard) does not work out of the box.

On OpenSUSE/MicroOS who is employing SELinux boot takes about 5 minutes on every kernel change, because of home-relabel. I hear you, that they probably do it wrong, but that's what you get with SELinux. Not enough to push me to disable SELinux, but maybe to avoid SELinux distributions in the future.

I'd be curious to see how many clock cycles something as simple as "x = y + z" (Where all three variables are integers) takes in various languages.

The compiled languages would likely output a single MOV and ADD and get done in 2 cycles (plus any time to fetch from memory). Something like Python probably takes a couple hundred with all its type checking. JIT languages I would think would take a couple hundred the first time the line gets executed, but then have a single MOV and ADD ready the next time, unless I'm completely misunderstanding JIT.

Maybe proof should be used for that more modest concept. In the sense of “bullet proof.” Similar to a piece of armor with a bullet proof; the ding from where it was shot for testing, a physics theory could be described as “microscope proof,” haha. We hit it with a bunch of microscopes and it didn’t fall apart.

I feel like any time I've run into a situation like this, the function body is either a trivial `if` statement, or it's dependent on some complicated state.

In the former, truth-table testing doesn't really add much value, and in the latter, I'd reach for hypothesis testing/fuzzing.

That said, writing exhaustive truth-table test doesn't look so bad with table-driven tests, like:

tests = [
#logged_in, green_hair, likes_bananas, msg_shown
(true, true, true, true),
(true, true, false, false),
...
]
for t in tests:

Anyway, the simple obvious solution (after reduce, reuse, recycle) is molten salt oxidation.

> Molten salt oxidation is a non-flame, thermal process that destroys all organic materials while simultaneously retaining inorganic and hazardous components in the melt.

Well, I'm not sure they're NGOs per the US definition, the concept doesn't translate all that well (I'm in Germany), but publicly funded projects essentially. I was personally just part of Prototype Fund, a German thing that funds open source software for public benefit.

Some cool projects in our round:

- https://www.oceanecowatch.org/

- https://github.com/Viraaj-A/ecthr_prediction

- https://privact.org (what I worked on :P)

These things aren't well funded, they don't have permanent staff. They get some funding to make some progress, then look for some more. I'm sure there's bigger ones with fixed staff, but so far I've been involved only in smaller niche ones, and the people that do this kind of stuff are usually a pleasure to work with. And almost most importantly, they don't have the funding to finance any top down "agile transformations", chase short sighted questionable ideas from marketing, or any of that stuff.

The world is certainly full of depressing stuff, but it's large enough to also host a life time supply of wonderful people and efforts. At least that's my sunny disposition.
I don't believe that there are third-party Android builds for the Boox devices, simply because they've modified it to better fit E-Ink screens.
That, and surplus value extraction from the global south, yes.
well, they're looking at earnings growth, not profit margins. You could have a company that increases profitability YoY and not grow revenue as well. It's less typical, but certainly possible with technology companies. I think this paper misses that fact.
None. The best way to get way better at programming is to work on code bases written by people that are much more skilled than you. You cant learn math by purely reading a math book, you have to work the exercises. Go find an expert code base on github and hack on it, or work at a company on a team with very high programming standards

You’re totally right! Maybe I could have chosen a better example. The point I was trying to make: If you’re building a PaaS – why not make it easy to do something as basic as attaching storage? The answer is probably: Just use S3 or something like that. But meh, that’s just more special APIs and vendor lock-in.
>Don’t use unsafe.Pointer unless you really have to.

Yeah, the part that said "unsafe" already told me that. On the other hand it is good to know how safe "unsafe" is. The GC stopping the program when it detects a possible use after free situation is nice, better than a memory leak anyway. Probably ought to be better documented though.

>By "SpaceX moment", I mean a startup entering an impossible market,

I think semiconductors is a difficult space for a SpaceX. SpaceX was relatively cheap - the company itself only raised 2 billion dollars, and according to Musk, the cost to develop Falcoln Heavy was "only" $500M. I think the "thesis" behind SpaceX is moreso that the technology to develop rockets had come down massively, but the market had gotten fat and lazy on government contracts. The market only seemed impossible because everyone just assumed so.

On the other hand ASML's EUV machine costs $300M and that's only a small part of what you need build your own Fab and barring some massive research breakthrough that isn't coming down any time soon.
The real benefit of separate sources is those machines cannot handle things like plastic bags (they get caught in rollers and jam the machine), dirty diapers, and other such weird stuff. Once you get those out of the stream you may as well separate a few other things that are not recyclable so you need less of the expensive separation machines. However you always need sorting machines - people will make mistakes and so you need to verify everything really is recyclable.
I watched the new intro video and I have no idea what this is other than lots and lots and lots of cards with dots on them. It looks soo complex!
