A tree is indeed a bad fit for RC; so is anything else where you have multiple references to something but know there is a single real owner.

I'd suggest keeping strong references to all the tree nodes in an array, then having everything within the tree be unowned. Basically fake arena allocation.

Actually, the way it's written:

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

is a common way you see toy data structures code written, but it's inefficient (because pointer chasing is slow) and there's better patterns. If you use the arena method above, you could use indexes into the arena. If not, intrusive data structures (where the references are inside Node instead of inside Tree) are better.

The constitution does not exclusively apply to US citizens is the good news.

The bad news is that there is no explicit and broad right to privacy in the constitution. You are protected by the fourth amendment requiring a warrant for searches and seizures, but the court has ruled that, citizen or not, if a third party like Meta willingly hands over your info, it’s fair game.

>It comes at the cost of many, many Chinese jobs in the midst of a devastating economic downturn there

As far as I know, TSMC does not make chips in China.
Maybe our economic policy should go deeper than 101-level economics then! Because comparative advantage is a dynamic quantity which changes over time, and while some advantages (like geography) are fixed, others are built by investment.

Here's a video [1] which explains why, in 1955, manufacturing household goods was cheaper to make in the US than in China (and why, at the time, they thought this manufacturing dominance was the thing that backed the US position as a global superpower). It's not because Americans worked more cheaply than Chinese workers, it's because American factories had a well-developed tool-and-die expertise, which meant that when anyone in the world wanted to make something, they were well-advised to travel the US to get it made.

Econ 101's comparative advantage is true at an instantaneous point in time, which is a good start, but if perhaps it's just "knowing enough to be dangerous". Economic policymakers (and company leaders) would do well to think about comparative advantage as planning an optimal trajectory over time, which can mean sacrificing a short-term optimum in exchange for a long-term optimum, and if there even is a textbook solution for that, it's going to look less like a 101-level intersection of straight lines, and more like an iterative optimization over nonlinear differential equations.

They just needed to humble brag, the article wasn’t important.
Indeed, but that doesn't mean you should expose the youth more to belligerent foreign controlled agitprop information channels.
Forbes’ articles on tiktok are always a mixed bag. TikTok and bytedance can’t be interchanged 1:1, and TikTok does not exist in China. The whistleblower didn’t work for TikTok, they worked for bytedance. Forbes knows this.

And then there’s things like this: “The former employee did not claim that ByteDance had knowledge of, or was complicit in, the Chinese police’s alleged intimidation of his father.”, in an article with a headline that forms a soft implication between TikTok and this incident. But it wasn’t a “TikTok” whistleblower.
All reporting about TikTok is hard to take seriously while there’s so much political energy pushing narratives.
I suspect it's so that applications and macro buttons on mice can send keyboard shortcuts without the risk of their keyboard input interfering with the user's keyboard or vice versa. It may also help in cases where there are multiple keyboards, one of which has something on it sending unwanted keystrokes, as any modifiers held down wouldn't affect input on the other keyboard. But it should be a configurable option for exactly this kind of reason. Anyway, glad this worked for you.
Can an insurance company deny claim based on your DNA? They deny claims for pre-existing condition that you hid from the, which would be the wrong thing to do on your part. They cannot deny claim based on pre existing disposition. Practically everyone is predisposed for getting cancer by merely being human, you might even have cancerous cells in your body right now, that you body will destroy in a couple of minutes.
It looks like you’re complaining Apple happens to have placed first orders for the new fab.

Yes, a flood of immigration combined with systematically displacing the local population. See the Nakba and Settler movement.
Wow, thanks for making this! I’m having lots of fun playing with it.

A quibble: Choosing between Draw|Erase|Toggle is awkward on mobile (Safari on iPhone). The old toggle between Draw|Erase was quick but the new pulldown list widget is in the upper left while the choices always pop open at the bottom of the screen.

Perhaps move the pulldown list to the bottom on mobile or make it two toggle buttons (Mode: Draw|Erase, Line type: Bounce|Toggle)?

Some enhancement ideas:

Add a mark where the dots drop from and perhaps a faint line to show the drop path.

Add an edit mode so existing lines could be selected then either erased, moved, lengthened, shortened, or have their type changed between Bounce|Toggle. Going further allow a point to be selected and move it or rotate a line around it.
I think you're missing the point of what I'm saying. The US has steadily moved away from those past competencies because there was more profit to be made elsewhere.

And, sure, there are absolutely network effects with related goods and industries that have steepened that movement. If it was a win to change the allocation of resources when e.g. steelmaking was strong in the US, it's even more of a win after steelmaking withered.

> and if there even is a textbook solution for that,

It's not quite what you're saying, but the closest work I have read is 'Dynamic Optimization: The calculus of variations and optimal control in economics and management' by Kamien et al. It is all about estimating gradients and plotting trajectories in dynamical economic systems.
To add insult to injury, they specifically used "low tech" pagers in order to avoid Israel attacks.
Sure. Someone who has their data in 23andme was someplace where something horrible happened. Law enforcement has no leads, so they process the DNA, and find no matches. They subpoena 23andme (or just look at the leaked data, who knows), and that person is now a person of interest. If they don't know they should have a lawyer on their side with them when being questioned, they might talk themselves into prison.

Now imagine that person is innocent.
Sure. As I pointed out, something like the CHIPS Act may be good for US resilience and national security, but is unlikely to be good for US economic output.

@Test, #require and #expect are just macros. You can expand them if you want to see what they do (or just look at the swift-testing code itself).

Perhaps I'm just used to Python unit testing with similar decorators. Presumably, if you need to pass in two arguments, you'd either pass arguments: an array of tuples or a tuple of arrays for combinatorial testing.
I wish the Lego Technix line would expand to be more about weird machines like this.

I asked my brother-in-law if my nephew would like a more advanced Technix set as a gift, he said no, they were mostly cars and vehicles and he wasn’t interested in that kind of thing. I wouldn’t have been at that age either. A wicked Rube Goldberg machine though…
I wish you luck, because I think this space is about to get a lot more crowded.

That said, I suspect that Strava and Apple (and likely even Google) have more data than Garmin. Maybe quality of data is lower (garmin is higher % athletes?).

There are a lot of companies planning or starting to tell you about fitness. Oura and Whoop and now Fitbit are happy to give you basic training readiness info. Google will help you plan runs, Apple will give you “training load”.

I’m not sure what your target market is, but don’t forget to look broadly. Garmin is favored for training athletes but fitbits and Apple Watches are favored for casual workouts. If you’re trying to train models on metabolic or other physiological training ability, don’t forget to look at non-athletes or early-athletes.

They would absolutely show data that shows productivity was down during the pandemic years of full remote if they had it. It's several years in the past at this point and everyone in the world had an excuse, but studies show that productivity increased or stayed about the same instead.

They would also show data for increased productivity from ending full remote and going back to the current 3 days in office if they had it, instead they claim it's the case but won't let you see the data. It's just bullshit corporate talk
Can you recommend a book that could explain these topics especially the protocols in a good way? I hated network classes in college.
If I've committed a crime and gotten away with it for several decades, I don't need a relative to NARC on me by giving 23 and me and the feds a DNA sample, thank you very much.

It's bad enough they took my fingerprints when I worked for a school district.
It does seem weird that there is this separation though. I would have assumed that there is a lot of overlap between machine design and operation.
The Australian Federal Police and the US FBI launched a similar attack a few years ago where they sold a few thousand phones to underworld figures. The phones had an apparently encrypted and hidden chat app pre-installed on them which was feeding all the messages and data to the police.[0]

The jobs, and in many cases the expertise held by the people working those jobs.

I think this was the angle epistasis was coming from: not just that chips are physically being formed within the boundaries of the US, but that citizens are involved, being trained and garnering the practical experience that comes with being intimately involved.

So, so much of this sort of experience has been lost over the past few decades, and the fallout is palpable: how many discussions have played out right here surrounding the challenges of manufacturing anything, even trivial bits of plastic, at scale without spending years traveling across the world, dealing with language and cultural mismatches, ensuing mistakes and quality issues?

We're in a weird place now, wrt manufacturing skill - there are still plenty of individual crafters, folks who can make one-off or small runs of high-quality goods... For a pretty high cost per/ea. But scaling is troublesome; to hit that economy of scale requires a lot more people with maybe journeyman-level skill, folks who cut their teeth in a large operation and are looking to specialize - and those large operations aren't here.
Not sure what podcast you're talking about, but since we're trading vague recollections, my recollection was opposite. Manufacturing as % of GDP certainly went down, but gross value added did not.

Also, hedonic adjustments are typically applied to CPI figures, not figures like GDP or value added, so I suspect you have some facts crossed.
I thought Intel 4nm was outsourced to TSMC. Or it's a rebranding of an earlier node. Am I mistaken? Do they actually produce that?

iOS has built in document scanning. I never understood why I should install a third party app for that.
But industry cries out for more immigration to suppress wages because they don't have enough workers (or at least, not enough leverage in the labor market as they would like), so I'm not sure if that tracks.
Well, you can trivially falsify this feeling by going and asking some early adopters whether they brush their teeth with fluoridated toothpaste. (Spoiler: they do.)

> It is pleasing that, in its institutional business, Goldman is a sharp counterparty, while in its consumer business it was an easy mark. If you’re a sophisticated hedge fund trading with Goldman, you might worry that you are the sucker at the table; if you were a middle-class borrower with a Chevrolet and too many credit cards, Goldman was the sucker.
Philips as far as im aware doesnt contribute that much anymore. NXP split off forever ago. Philips may have build TSMC together with the taiwanese government but its hardly relevant nowadays.
People said the same thing about crypto right before it crashed. People say lots of things, it doesn't make them any more likely to be true.
That's OK. It's on US soil with US employees and can be nationalized if and when need be. I'm sure ASML will be happy to comply or else risk their US operations being nationalized too. Like their DUV/EUV light sources office https://www.asml.com/en/company/about-asml/locations/san-die...
Like you dont have to know native components anyway?

In one way you centralise as much logic as you can and are encouraged to write clean code that doen't depend on platfrom quirks. In the other way you... give up and just do whatever.

I can see how some devs find it hard to not give up and just write the same logic in multiple languages, great job security!
Concentrated in hospitals? Concentrated. Like, all in one place. Convenient?
Incredible, Israel can use tiny bombs in the personal possession of terrorists and they'll still be accused of warcrimes.
How so? They also are extremely incentivised to make this happen. A war on your front door is not good for business.

Perhaps? You assume GC takes unreasonably more space. It's purely a function of a tradeoff between running it more frequently, tuning heap sizing algortithms, choosing to run them as part of allocation calls on the same thread, sacrificing throughput in the process. GC can be more compact than what you assume. Modern good GC implementation are precise and don't have to mark dead GC roots as live, even within a scope of a single method. .NET and I assume Java GC implementations work this way - that's what "precise" means in "precise tracing GC".

It's only if you qualify as a 'covered expatriate' though. I'm not a lawyer or an accountant but a plain reading of the standard suggests the vast majority of Americans would not be covered.

I think the key would be how they arrive at the net worth numbers. If it's just a calculation of all your assets as if they were sold at FMV, ~90% of the US is below the net worth threshold.

The average tax liability standard looks like it would take 5 years at $600K+ of adjusted gross income, too. Plenty of people would meet this standard. Most people would not.
If the instruments are already there, and we have the records, can't we just analyze them retroactively?
Or the sabotage was on the verge of being discovered and their options were either to use it at an inopportune time or lose the ability to use it at all.
That's a good idea. However, I believe the challenging part lies in first reconstructing the short utterances into coherent, meaningful paragraphs.

Currently, with the API [1], you can retrieve a JSON with timestamps. The main issue, though, is how to parse the text effectively into meaningful sentences, and then add the timestamps at the beginning of the paragraph. WIP.

Pragmatic use of $LANGUAGE is a telltale sign of the wizened programmer; one who understands the use-case and solution set well enough to know when the tool fits.

I wrote Ruby when I got started because it was the most accessible and the Rails learning content was top notch. Now I use python when I need more than a few `bash` pipes to accomplish anything, but if I were to solve a capital-P Problem, of course the tool often chooses the project after constraints.
Build a workforce with the world's leading company. Pull those people into senior positions at new companies nearby. An industry is born and competition can grow. All with export limits so the jobs hopefully can't be outsourced.
More likely it’ll be the PR dept. The CEO’s assistants might glance at it.
Maybe you should look at actual stats for what's going on in the economy before being completely cynical.

The investment in factories is absolutely massive over the past few years. The Inflation Reduction Act is bringing massive amounts of manufacturing into the US, starting with the lowest value add of assembly, and after that additional suppliers lower down the chain will be built up too.

It is not SV reinvigorating the economy, it's not happening in SV, it's happening in small towns all over the country. It's happening due to the bills that Democrats passed over Republican opposition, but because of politics, it's not being trumpeted as a partisan win in the towns where factories are being built.
What do they do, then? Are you implying that connections can only exist as a two way relationship? Are rivers not connected to streams, tributaries, etc?

Receiving data from a network is a connection, no matter how you want to define it.
Yes. Here's an example: https://research.upjohn.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&htt...

Excerpt:

> "The computer industry, in turn, is an outlier and statistical anomaly. Its extraordinary output and productivity growth reflect the way statistical agencies account for improvements in selected products produced in this industry, particularly computers and semiconductors. Rapid productivity growth in this industry—and by extension the above-average productivity growth in the manufacturing sector—has little to do with automation of the production process. Nor is extraordinary real output and productivity growth an indicator of the competitiveness of domestic manufacturing in the computer industry; rather, the locus of production of the industry’s core products has shifted to Asia"

The whole document is well worth a read.

Nintendo Switch played this concept well contrapositively
I'd also add that systemd appeals to application developers (no daemon code, one file for all distros). And it appeals to sysadmins too (no more /etc conflicts on any package update! Modify any system service! etc..)

Which brings me to the question of which category systemd does not appeal to? I am guessing "minimalists" and "people who like things done the old way" - and those are simply not that numerous compared to others.

The point I made is that less than half of Hezbollah is combatant, therefore the possession of a device procured and distributed by Hezbollah cannot be dispositive evidence as most Hezbollah members aren't IHL combatants. The fact the pagers were ordered by Hezbollah doesn't contribute anything in the context of a discussion on civilian Hezbollah members that would need to use pagers.

I'm absolutely not bullish on LLMs, but I think this is kinda judging a fish on its ability to climb a tree.

LLMs are looking at typical constructions of text, not an understanding of what it means. If you ask it what color the sky is, it'll find what text usually follows a sentence like that, and tries to construct a response from it.

If you ask it the answer to a math question, the only way it could reliably figure it out is if it has in its database an exact copy of that math question. Asking it to choose things from a list is kinda like that, but one could imagine that the designers would try to supplement that manually with a different technique from pure LLM.
The article provides some reasons to think that the treatment might not be fully effective even conditional on the mechanism of action working as described, not that it won't do anything at all.
Papers like OneVision have started looking into this. But most of the research is still in nascent stages, answering in one word/phrase for simple questions. I don't even think there's a good enough benchmark dataset to evaluate such models.
Come on... you know I never even intimated that Mr. Beast is the most unethical entity in the world.

Pointer chasing is irrelevant here. It takes <= 15% of the execution time, and CPUs have gotten good at it. If it takes more - it speaks more about the quality of the allocator which has poor memory locality. As noted in my previous comment, it is dominated by the time spent in the allocator/GC code.

Please read https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

The requirement to implement the same algorithm with the same data structure is what makes this benchmark interesting and informative. Don't tell me "allocate parent object A, allocate child objects C, D and E and assign them to A's fields, then allocate array F and G, and assign them to D's fields" isn't the bread and butter of all kinds of application logic, something that this benchmark stresses.
Sure, there are many avenues to spread this sort of propaganda, but a state-run social media platform can certainly be a lot more effective than someone flooding someone else's social media platform with propaganda.

Assuming the Chinese government is using TikTok for influence campaigns (they'd be foolish not to), they only way to stop it is to outright ban it in your country (which the US seems to be trying to do, with possibly-disastrous effects), or find a way to get your citizens to dislike it (good luck with that).

While Russia is doing pretty well at their influence campaigns on other platforms, those platforms can choose, if they so desire, to step up their detection and banning efforts. It's a constant cat-and-mouse game, of course, but it's at least possible to stamp out most of that crap if you're willing to spend the resources to do so.
Does it have to be or does it just have to be enough to be a deterrent to China?

I wonder if the strategy behind the CHIPS act is to have enough “backup” capacity in the US that it isn’t completely vulnerable.
