Same here: I work on speech for a big company and working from the office is terrible. I had to squat the restroom 3 times yesterday so I could work (talk to my phone!)

At home I am so much more productive and zero commute.

Because of the badging policy in place, I end up scheduling non productive days at the office (doing email, reading other docs, meetings which are always with remote folks anyway but at least they see a genuine meeting room or phone booth behind my pretty face, so I guess that counts? ;)

Thanks for the link, interesting reading.

I don't see anything meaningful here. The foundry is still owned by Intel, has the same reporting chain as before, but with an extra operating board. There seems to be an idea that people will give the foundry money who wouldn't give Intel money, which seems dubious when the foundry is still Intel. Also not obvious that they'll do anything productive with more money.

Lots of emphasis on x86 and chiplets. I'm not totally sure Intel has much IP in chiplets but it definitely seems to be the winning play from AMD at present. "Continued leadership of the AI PC category, our strong position with AI in data center, and our accelerator portfolio" doesn't seem to have any correlation with reality.

Intel 20A was scrapped as part of the five nodes in four years success story. Currently shipping on TSMC instead. Intel are very confident that 18A will be great and work well and everyone will want it, shipping from a year from now, unlike the last N years of products.

I don't expect 18A to work either and Amazon will go elsewhere as that becomes increasingly clear. It's interesting times for semiconductors though.

edit: looks like there is a chiplet themed xeon shipping on intel processes, at least well enough to get review samples out, but I'm unclear on the details. E.g. is this equivalent to the AMD approach or merely using the same name to sound similar - I haven't found anything suggesting they can put GPU and CPU tiles on the same fabric for example

If the US has reached the limit of something (which I'm not sure about), it's the limit of a society organized in that one specific way. The US is an old country. It's far older than the current incarnation of China or most European countries. If a country remains stable that long without having to reinvent itself, it may risk stagnation.
Building a System Like Realtalk
Yeah compared to Chrome.

I do like and respect Firefox but it’s hard to take them too seriously as a separate competitor if all their revenue comes from Google.

But what choice do they have?
Once organizations get to a sufficient size, increasing your "scope" is the only metric left to compare. You could compare revenue, but the easiest way to get more revenue is to increase the amount of work that falls under your purview. You could compare profitability, but then you encourage everyone to make the most expensive products they can get away with and your company fails. You could compare productivity, but there is no scientific way to do that, and funding the research required would bankrupt you and your company fails. You could do it by vibes, but the snake oil salesman will sell you garbage and your company fails. You could do it by seniority, but then you stagnate and your company fails. You could do it at random, but then none of your managers would bother trying and your company fails.

Do feel free to suggest a better way to compare two managers that doesn't fall into worse situations than "scope".

They kicked out all the people that did not fit the Han identity, so lots of the peoples that populate SEAsia today lived in what is now China. Those left in China, see themselves as unified Chinese people --they all adopted the mainstream prevalent culture --and don't long any erased ancient culture they might have had. They do not consider themselves as the remnants conquered tribes who were abused or decimated and subjugated by the Han. They see themselves, from their point of view as Han Chinese. Even Manchurians who at one point subjugated and controlled China, today see themselves as Chinese as any other Chinese in Beijing or Wuhan. They assimilated and took to Han culture and practice Han culture so much they are all one and the same today --with two exception and that is in their northwest and southwest --and those because those were very recent conquests. Most likely those in the southwest will assimilate despite a an exiled renegade spiritual leader who opposes the inevitable.

> A planned economy works better for the citizens

I do not think so.

We have not had an example of a consumer society in a planned economy, that I know of

But the Soviet example is illuminating. They had fabulous infrastructure, built the best rockets, the fastest fighter jets, even had very good super computers.

But they never made a TV with a remote control.

I would love to see a study of consumer appliances in the USSR, but I bet there was a toaster available. One.

China may blaze a new trail and show us something new.

But now they have returned to "Leader for Life" I am expecting them to return to the days of Mao and loose their edge.

Go on China! Prove me wrong!!

> That means the phrase "it's all French to me" in free standing could logically imply that you do have good idea of what is being said.

It is not logical to infer that because a word is derived from another language that you'd have any chance of understanding it. The phrase just is a cute recognition of the same derivation.

But you seem to imply monolanguage speakers think the opposite! I strongly suspect this is true of multi-language speakers that learned language through formal techniques. Language is so universal you cannot expect people to be ignorant of its complexity despite their never descending to its depths.

But I'd also like to point out French is occasionally quite understandable. It's when french falls into simple phrases that it becomes unintelligible. As an analytic language it's nearly as easy to decipher as latin is, although orthography is very difficult to learn.

You'll still run into trouble with anything wanting to allow everything but trying to do NAT. I'd hazard to guess this actually still uses UDP under the covers for that reason (but haven't bothered to verify). QUIC and HTTP/3 went that route for the same reason.

Edit: It does.

An added benefit of this is that it makes working from home look more productive, if they're keeping score :)
Yes; my build script plays one sound on success, another when lint fails, and a third when anything else fails. It’s on a watch loop so it runs whenever I save.

I use TDD, so I’m running the build every few minutes. The build (including tests) only takes half a second, so I can hit save, hear a sound, and continue programming without looking at the output. It’s surprisingly nice.
China is helped by a straight forward "interests" based foreign policy

The USA has a "principles" based policy, that is hypocritical and is actually a private property based interests based policy.

It makes the Chinese straight forward to deal with, whereas the USA is not easy to deal with, you can never be sure where you will stand with them in a decade.

Then there is Trump....
Slack seems to randomly lose microphone access (whether permissions or not) requiring restart anyway, so doesn't really help.

Interesting.

To be clear, I do mean more than just NPC voices and am talking about the style of play where everyone is acting a bit. And yes, not unlike those recorded shows, albeit usually less good. And not saying there's anything wrong with it, it's just not for me.

Between what I'd seen online & from friends who play these days I've had the impression that this is much more dominant over what I encountered in the 80s - where that was the less common style. Instead I saw more "my character/I do XYZ", more of a focus on the mechanics of everything vs the RP.

Perhaps I'll poke around a bit then. I'm really only interested in 1e or perhaps 2e but I know there's the whole OSR thing going on so that's easier to find these days.

Just knowing that your combo can finish an opponent can switches your situation from very passive to very aggressive. Also some jungle / gank timing require clock math.

> Sorry for an obligatory: there is no such thing as a root cause.

While I get what you mean, I think most people who've been in the situation know what I'm talking about. The same alarms are going off constantly and you keep doing the expedient thing to make them stop going off without investing any effort into stopping them from going off again in the same situation in the future.

Of course there is a chain of causes, and maybe you need to refactor a module, or maybe you need to redesign an interface, or maybe you need to throw the whole thing away and start over -- we did all those things in different situations while I was there -- but there's a point at which looking at deeper causes loses value because those causes are not in our power to fix and we're left to defend against those failures: a system we rely on is unreliable; machines and networks go down unexpectedly; a lot of people have poor reading comprehension so even good docs are sometimes useless; we are all sinners whose pride and sloth sometimes leads us to make crappy software and systems; etc.
I'm not sure many people are asking for a tool like this or would use it outside of existing tools like Slack and Teams status, or Microsoft Outlook (where they do support putting your work location, unlike Google apparently.)

I work hybrid (for now) and I probably wouldn't use this, and certainly wouldn't pay for it unless my employer would foot the bill.

To give a more pessimistic take, hybrid work schedules are disappearing - not just Amazon but many companies are taking away this ambiguity of work location by simply demanding people work in an office, or you find a job that's 100% remote. I don't know that there will be a ton of demand for a tool like this.

I will admit it's a crafty use of the .ing TLD.
Since it is so stable under lossy conditions it might be a good candidate for VoIP applications. The protocol du jour for VoIP is UDP because you really want to just drop your packets and move on rather than try to retransmit most of the time, but since the transfer speed in this case seems to be immune to the effects of packet loss and it performs just as well as UDP in a 0% packet loss environment it seems like it would produce superior call quality more consistently than either TCP or UDP.
I think the article also has no clue what’s going on .

From what I’m guessing, anonymous users might be able to run the stop environment job, which would be bad. Not sure how that chains into a supply chain attack or any of that fun stuff.

The meat of the change is probably this chunk:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/commit/e2ceeac5ffc6a6...

my take on it is that if gitlab doesn’t know who you are, it looks to the last runner of the job (or maybe the creator) to run stop environment. The fix seems to use the current user to attempt the stop environment which seems simple enough.

Mostly the "self" part. Teslas cannot drive themselves. They need a human driver supervising, ready to take over at a moment's notice.

If something needs a driver, it is not self-driving in my book.
"Legal Weed" is a funny thing, because I know exactly zero people who live in legal states that buy it legally. They all have some kind of hookup that's much cheaper than any legal option.

I will say though, it's legal where I am, and aside from every parking structure stinking like burning skunks, it's not as much of a 'culture' as it used to be, and you don't really find many people talking about it, which is nice I guess.

How Wellington's bike network has grown, in three maps
The hard part about multicast is the scaling overhead of coordinating which streams should go where when it's more than "these couple things on these couple networks". Even then, the way it's a dedicated range of IPs instead of parts of public assignments pretty much shut down the idea it could ever be coordinated at scale outside of a few private networks doing it together.

It has found good success in IPTV delivery inside provider's own networks though. Cameras at casinos/hotels/Transit systems and the like too.
The product isn't even on people's hands, and FDA approval only means it's not actively harmful and has a fighting chance of being somewhat beneficial.

Not really. Graviton chips just use off-the-shelf core designs from ARM. The Graviton used Cortex A72 cores, the Graviton2 Neoverse N1, Graviton3 Neoverse V1, and Graviton 4 Neoverse V2.

Apple designs their own cores and Qualcomm is starting to. Most people just grab ARM's reference designs. They're sorta in-house in that they're putting it together, but they aren't doing the design work of actually making their own cores.

I've been going to the Capitol Hill Tool Library lately, which is my local makerspace. The space is small but they have a lot of traffic and people are generally very friendly and helpful. Also they have woodworking tools which I would never have in my apartment.

In terms of makerspaces specifically I imagine the limiting factor is rent. When rent is too high you end up with a smaller space and less cash left over for equipment.

I think GP means dead as in there'll be no more design efforts targeted at it.
Because it doesn't scale. A single car takes as much space as 10-15 passengers, and station times are much longer if you need to load/unload cars. Popular passenger rail systems often operate at capacity, with delays sometimes cascading into network-wide disruptions. It's often impossible to add more trains without building new sets of parallel tracks, while train length is limited by the size of the stations.
I suspect that Larry is a closet libertarian, and this is his accelerationist response.
I don't think high-speed rail is what the future looks like. The platform to beat is the transit agency-owned robo-taxi. Calling it a taxi is a disservice, though. It's really a 1-, 2-, 5-person bus. If needed, it can scale to 10-, 15-, 20-person and so on.

Consider the following:

- Door to door is massively more convenient than door to hub to hub to door. What's usually overlooked is that it's often more efficient, too.

- In many cities, transit can't compete with cars unless it's in sub-15 minute wait range. But to provide that service level with buses/trains, you need to move around 20000lbs/350000lbs of steel whether there are 5 passengers or 50/500.

- Once a city offers municipal robo-taxi service, it can completely ban privately-owned cars. This means it can remove all non-commercial parking spaces and convert them to lanes. It also means robo-taxis can travel 1 or 2 feet apart and use optimized routing. This can multiply effective road capacity by 2 or more.

IMHO, the real question is whether we need any regional trains at all. Robo-taxis and planes might be enough.
