When red tape makes drug development and testing impossible, as it did here, the system has ceased to benefit humanity and is causing nothing but stagnation and long-term suffering (by virtue of holding back potentially life-improving or life-saving treatments.)

Enabling medical progress is far more important in the long term for our species (and to reduce suffering) than adding the umpteenth killswitch/safeguard for an ostensibly safe medicine.

But FDA regulators have no incentive in the positive direction, only in the negative direction. The more drugs they deny, the less likely they can be blamed if something goes wrong; the more requirements they add, the more secure their careers - humanity's medical progress be damned.

In my opinion this kind of genetic research on autism strengthens the view that mild to moderate autistic traits are inherited features, not pathological diseases. The heritability estimates of autistic traits are very high, even higher than e.g. human height. I don't want to undermine the real symptoms of anyone with autism, I'm sure they can be a real pain. But I'm skeptical of e.g. treating autism with therapy, it reminds me of conversion therapies.
Well maybe your quality of life but for the common man in the US? There only seems to be hopelessness on the horizon. It makes you think, who are we really fighting for?

I wonder if large lookup tables/table-driven state machines are still as good as they used to be. After all, even with all the on-chip caches, the additional memory accesses today seem to be slower than doing some multi-instruction SIMD voodoo.
I don’t think anyone is actually trying to connect with distant cousins for social interaction; rather the shared DNA segments provide hard evidence to confirm distant ancestors. I got into genealogy a couple years ago after thumbing through some old family documents and I’ve been able to confirm 6th cousins (traced via our shared ancestors) using 23andMe data.

Now there are probably some who think genealogy is a silly pastime and maybe it is, but researching my family history helps me feel grounded and more connected to humanity so I derive a lot of benefit from it.
This is the future I was promised. Take my money please.

With Intel 4, Intel has not succeeded to obtain clock frequencies as high as with Intel 7, which is why the older Raptor Lake laptop CPUs still beat the Meteor Lake CPUs in single-threaded benchmarks.

Moreover, the new Intel 4 process had low fabrication yields, so Intel has produced less Meteor Lake CPUs than it could have sold.

Nevertheless, the Intel 4 process has demonstrated a much greater energy efficiency than the previous Intel 7 process, which is why the Meteor Lake CPUs beat easily the older Intel CPUs in multithreaded benchmarks, where the CPU performance is limited by the power consumption.

I would believe so. I have a custom DNS profile setup that redirects a few domains to a server I run. The server has custom SSL certs issued by a private CA. I the certificate installed on iOS as a trusted root certificate.

Everytime I'm connected to my home WiFi I would randomly get `peer closed connection in SSL handshake (104: Connection reset by peer)`. I have absolutely no clue why it does this and this issue goes away when I'm connected on mobile data.

Now I'm guessing that it is bypassing the DNS profile and resolving it using my ISPs DNS or some other way.

Yeah, that would be an issue with presenting the device as a block storage device.

The web interface also has a couple of other advantages: the tablet simultaneously listens for ssh connections, and can be used over Wi-Fi, IIRC? Though it could also expose a "USB HUB" with both the network interface and block storage.

I just wish we had a more ubiquitous "network file storage" protocol. The tablet itself could offer NFS, but mounting it under different operating systems would be a pain, requiring manual user intervention.

I'm starting to question that, but without any proof that just me rambling. Assuming that it works, I'd actually be fine with a site saying "Hey, just letting you know, we use Google Analytics to learn more about you, is that cool?".

The 1500 partners and 50+ trackers aren't numbers I'm making up, those are numbers I frequently see. Sure, you feel you need a tracker, I can easily enough say no to a single tracker. I can also understand a webshop needing to share information with their advertising partner, but not 1500 of them.

The law would never have amounted to anything if the reality was a limited scope of data sharing with a clear obvious purpose. It's the insane amount of tracking and data sharing that triggered all this.

An opportunity to engage in a useful discussion derailed by ad hominem and conflating things.

SQL and the relational model (two different things) predate OOP and the need for ORMs (object-relational mappers) by one to two decades. It was the widespread adoption of Java — everything an object — in the mid-1990s that led to ORMs, at a time when various commercial “relational” databases already dominated data management. Microsoft’s Active Record and then Ruby/Rails, among others, perpetuated the use of ORMs. Most programmers who entered the field after 2000 learned ORMs and their associated query builders before learning SQL or relational database concepts, if they ever learned those things at all.

ORMs can make some things simpler, including composing queries, but as you noted that means SQL can
do the same thing. Some more recent additions to SQL, such as CTEs, and features such as named views and subqueries that ORMs discourage, make SQL more composable. If we could write in predicate calculus we wouldn’t have to deal with SQL’s shortcomings, but that battle got lost in the 1970s and now we have decades and billions of lines of SQL (most of it not generated by ORMs) that won’t go away.

Going back to my original point, way up this thread… PHP and Go, specifically, do not need add-in ORMs because the languages have built in support for mapping query results to native objects/structs. If someone uses a query builder with those languages most likely they do so out of habit, or because they can’t or don’t want to write SQL. But PHP and Go do not need an ORM or query builder, just like they don’t need add-on HTML templating.

Hmh, I've been working for PwC Germany a decade or two ago and while I wasn't "junior" by any stretch of imagination I had my share of "crunch time". I distinctly recall that PwC was an employer that cared a lot about their people. Back then we were in the office a lot and the amenities provided were top-notch, far surpassing any startup I have seen since. Weekend work was an exception, not the rule. Of course, being huge and in Germany they had an employee council and to follow local labor laws. So, coming to think of it, it might be more a Germany thing than a PwC thing ;)

ASCII is 7 bits (the eight bit would be parity), so that makes perfect sense, in an ASCII world.
It' s a bit early to compare directly to TensorRT because we don't have a full-blown equivalent.

Note that our focus is being platform agnostic, easy to deploy/integrate, good performance all-around, and ease of tweaking.
We are using the same compiler than Jax, so our performances are on par.
But generally we believe we can gain on overall "tok/s/$" by having shorter startup time, choosing the most efficient hardware available, and easily implementing new tricks like multi-token prediction.
And if you look at it more broadly, most Israelis served in the army which maintains an occupation which is illegal under international law, that is most countries on the planet deem it illegal. So, when I meet an Israeli, the instant thought that runs through my head would be: did this person participate in the human rights abuses? They might very well not have, but the possibility is there. This is a scary situation for me as well, because I do not want to be discriminating and prejudiced against anyone, but the facts are straight.

"Israel and Poland, which have clashed repeatedly in recent years over differing interpretations of the history of the Second World War, came together on Thursday to issue a rare joint condemnation of Ukraine over its efforts to rehabilitate nationalists who collaborated with the Nazis.

The criticism came one day after Ukrainians marked the 111th birthday of Stepan Bandera, the wartime leader of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), a violently anti-Semitic organization that collaborated with the Nazis. Among Holocaust historians, the consensus is that the OUN and its military offshoot, known as the UPA, were responsible for the deaths of thousands of Jews and up to 100,000 Poles during the war (estimates vary).

In a joint letter to civic leaders in Lviv and Kyiv, Israeli ambassador Joel Lion and his Polish counterpart, Bartosz Cichocki, expressed concern regarding efforts to honor Bandera and Andryi Melnyk, the head of a competing faction of the OUN.

In Kyiv on Wednesday, local officials raised a giant banner with Bandera’s picture over the city administration building, prompting anger from Jewish activists. That came just over a week after the Lviv Oblast Council approved funding for a 2020 celebration in honor of Melnyk.

“Remembering our innocent brothers and sisters murdered in the occupied territories of Poland 1935-1945, which now constitute a part of Ukraine, we the Ambassadors of Poland and Israel believe, that celebrating these individuals is an insult,” Lion and Cichocki wrote.

“Glorification of those who promoted actively the ethnic cleansing is counterproductive in the fight against Antisemitism and the reconciliation of our People,” they continued.

...

Thursday’s letter is the second time that Lion and Cichocki have come together to call for a change in Ukrainian memory policy. In June, the pair signed a joint letter to the mayor of the Ukrainian city of Ivano-Frankisvsk, protesting the unveiling of a monument honoring Roman Shukhevych, a collaborator with the Nazis who was implicated in the murder of countless Jews and ethnic Poles.

Following Ukraine’s 2014 revolution, the former Soviet republic’s parliament passed a series of bills known collectively as the Decommunization Laws, meant to sever the country’s ties to its Russian and Soviet past. One of the bills prohibited what it called the “public denial of the legitimacy of the struggle for independence of Ukraine in the twentieth century.”

In practical terms, these bills paved the way for the rehabilitation of Ukrainian ultranationalist figures who had collaborated with the Nazis.

Over the last several years, streets all over Ukraine have been named after far-right figures and steps have been taken to rehabilitate their images, casting them as fighters for democracy whose followers saved Jews from the Germans.

Asked about the letter, Ambassador Lion told The Times of Israel that Israel and Poland “have a common interest in combating Holocaust denial and rewriting of History.” " [0]

There are reams of economic literature trying to estimate whether government intervention in the market was a good idea. Most of the time it doesn't turn out great. So the parent's suggestion "probably won't be a win for economic output" is a pretty safe bet.

Often governments will use "security" as an argument to keep steel, shipbuilding, etc, in the country. That argument is not really possible to evaluate on economic grounds.

I don't consider it a win. I consider it a loss. This is a desperate move by the US. Intel making better chips then TSMC is a win. The government strong arming Taiwan with "protection" from China in order to gain this technology is a display of American incompetence.

But then again maybe is't not about fair play. If the US wins by unfair means, it's still a win? A pathetic win but a win none the less.
