>> "Stunningly, Automattic’s CEO Matthew Mullenweg threatened that if WP Engine did not agree to pay Automattic – his for-profit entity – a very large sum of money before his September 20th keynote address at the WordCamp US Convention, he was going to embark on a self-described “scorched earth nuclear approach” toward WP Engine within the WordPress community and beyond. When his outrageous financial demands were not met, Mr. Mullenweg carried out his threats by making repeated false claims disparaging WP Engine to its employees, its customers, and the world. Mr. Mullenweg has carried out this wrongful campaign against WP Engine in multiple outlets, including via his keynote address, across several public platforms like X, YouTube, and even on the Wordpress.org site, and through the WordPress Admin panel for all WordPress users, including directly targeting WP Engine customers in their own private WordPress instances used to run their online businesses."

The plot thickens.
Merging the 2 comment threads for simplicity:

Taking all of your assumptions together as givens:

- Intel's unacted claims around patents 7 years ago were valid in the first place.

- No major government acts against the action because of simultaneous individual tentative politics in each and every single one. Including the EU, which has indeed blocked deals between 2 US companies even after the FTC has approved the merger (e.g. GE+Honeywell).

- Qualcomm concludes the best way to squeeze the most money out of Intel is to shitcan x86 completely by cancelling the cross-licensing deal (despite INTC having higher revenues than Qualcomm and selling competitive CPUs in markets it doesn't even target at all).

- The result of shitcanning x86 by cancelling the cross-licensing deal is people go exclusively to ARM

It's still not clear why Qualcomm would have free reign on the x86 PC market it just ate the cost of destroying. MediaTek, Samsung, and Rockchip already make consumer ARM laptops - the first two often beating Qualcomm in performance anyways. Apple also has their own walled garden offerings in the consumer ARM device space. Qualcomm's biggest advantage in the PC space was their exclusivity agreement with Microsoft for Windows on ARM but that is already dying at the end of the year. So say all the above wasn't a concern, Qualcomm really did dump billions into Intel just to stop making their processors and it was allowed, how is Qualcomm going to get their money back at all let alone better than squeezing Intel normally without first killing its main source of revenue?
Other people are covering the big names, so I'll throw in a suggestion in completely the opposite direction: Large portions of the fanfiction and online amateur fiction community, even in English, are international. Even the Western authors frequently bring minority perspectives. Amateur fiction and especially fanfiction doesn't have to be accepted by a publisher or get through editing, so they're free to explore topics and reinterpretations that would be anathema to marketing and PR and the need to make a profit.

"What's your mother's maiden name?"

"42_red_banana_&"
You have to look at the late 1800s for examples. It won’t be wars over data centres and winning won’t be simple or even possible. It would look like the wars that the U.S. Army fought against indian tribes or like the British, French, German and Dutch colonization of Africa. That is assuming there is an AI side and a non-AI side. Incidentally those conflicts did involve a lot of strategic infrastructure like railways and telegraph lines.

Fighting the expansionary actions of an AI enabled culture will not be as simple as bombing power plants, after all those are prime targets in any modern war and are well defended. How do you propose to win against an entire bloc of countries that have decided to use the products of AI to do whatever they wish with the world?
I could get past their survival (if they didn't there would be no more story!) but the level of technological development really strained my imagination. I mean, are we supposed to witness a space-faring civilization that can hoist a fucking city block on carbon fibers (or whatever) and move it up to space and then back down on Earth, while simultaneously:

- It has no Cold War era level technology to build a dozen spy satellites to survey every square meter of the earth, with which most of the Part 3 plot would simply not happen;

- It cannot build a simple propeller plane, so the pilot has to instead strip naked (I think - it's been a while since I read it) and wear some kind of scifi haptic feedback suit that will tell you how the wind is blowing so that you can steer your unpowered glider in the correct direction.

Honestly the second point reads like the author's sexual fantasy leaking into the story.

You’re (both!) getting into metaphysics without necessarily realizing it. He’s just saying that a machine that could learn any pattern—not a sub pattern of accidental actualities that it overfits on, but the real virtual pattern driving some set of phenomena—would be a game changer. Sure, there are infinite things that can’t be reduced to polynomials, but something tells me that a whole lot of things that matter to us are, across the fields of Physics, Biology, Sociology and Neurology especially.

Basically it’ll be (and already has been since the quantum breakthroughs in the 1920s, to some extent) a revolution in scientific methods not unlike what Newton and Galileo brought us with physical mechanics: this time, sadly, the mechanics are beyond our direct comprehension, reachable only with statistical tricks and smart guessing machines.

Yea sorry everything was coming up zero because they didn't submit supplemental data, so all filters based on that data (including age and other demographics) come back as zero.

Which is not the way 'nodata' should be returned.

But the point stands- eg Jackson ms didn't submit this year. So your get a 'state total' that doesn't include the majority of the data for the state.

We initially started with the goal of fine-tuning LLaMA 3 on TPUs, but PyTorch XLA was clunky, so we decided to rewrite the model in JAX. That said, as mentioned earlier in the thread, we also believe JAX is a better platform for non-NVIDIA GPUs and want to build on JAX+openXLA for building infra for non-NVIDIA GPUs.

In America we have case law that prohibits public officials from blocking their constituents from their official accounts [1]. Not every country does.

Also, that ruling doesn't cover material edge cases. Should a public figure be able to block journalists they don't like? Oil companies anyone with an environmental leaning to avoid tipping them off on something they weren't searching for?

We have a media-bubble problem in America that is increasingly defined by partisan lines. From a social utility position, clarifying that public means public strikes me as more important than edge-case harassment concerns. Particularly when the stakes are so low on both sides of the scale (due to the ease with which blocks can be circumvented and the fact that we're dealing with content the speaker has explicilty chosen to make public).

When I dip into little histories of how one thing or another came to pass (example: ten days to design Javascript) in our history of computing, I wonder if advanced civilizations do things like undertake mind-bending projects like, "Hey, let's redesign our computation from scratch, from Turing (or whatever They call it) machines on up to processors to implement these machines, and on up."

A language would be next, and with it the idioms.

HTML, starts off as a markup language for document display (and a fairly primitive one) but has morphed into an application-over-the-Internet, by adding CSS, Javascript, and so forth. What if the aliens designed a technology with this endpoint already in mind? After a few hundred years, they probably have a full list of controls (radio buttons, checkboxes, dropdowns, sliders, and so on).

I just have this terrible feeling that everything we have is built on layers of cruft, "I need this by Monday" decisions, not-quite-optimal algorithms, and so on. And that we're probably wasting enormous amounts of computation and energy on this. Just think of how much invalid HTML is out there, and how much harder each browser must work to figure out the tag salad.

I’d highly recommend Tade Thompson’s novel Rosewater. It’s a bit hard to describe honestly but it’s an afrofuturist novel taking place in Nigeria and involves aliens and mind altering experiences.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosewater_(Thompson_novel)

Midnight Robber by Nalo Hopkinson is also very good but set on a different planet so a bit more divorced from today. It is still afrofuturism, and still covers a lot of the topics you describe. It can be a bit tough to read, at least I found it to be, as the Caribbean accents are very strong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Robber
It should be noted that Edge of Tomorrow is reported to be very different from the novel, particularly the conclusion. I've read only the novel and it's a decent read in its own right.

> The findings could have implications for how offshore structures are designed, weather forecasting and climate modeling, while also affecting our fundamental understanding of several ocean processes.

Does this translate to terrestrial and deep space signals? FWIU there's research in rogue waves applied to EM waves and DSN, too

What is the lowest power [parallel] transmission that results in such rogue wave effects, with consideration for local RF regulations?

> Professor Ton van den Bremer, a researcher from TU Delft, says the phenomenon is unprecedented, "Once a conventional wave breaks, it forms a white cap, and there is no way back. But when a wave with a high directional spreading breaks, it can keep growing."

> Three-dimensional waves occur due to waves propagating in different directions. The extreme form of this is when wave systems are "crossing," which occurs in situations where wave system meet or where winds suddenly change direction, such as during a hurricane. The more spread out the directions of these waves, the larger the resulting wave can become.

' > See also links to Branched flow and Resonance

Branched flow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branched_flow :

> Branched flow refers to a phenomenon in wave dynamics, that produces a tree-like pattern involving successive mostly forward scattering events by smooth obstacles deflecting traveling rays or waves. Sudden and significant momentum or wavevector changes are absent, but accumulated small changes can lead to large momentum changes. The path of a single ray is less important than the environs around a ray, which rotate, compress, and stretch around in an area preserving way.

Are vortices in Compressible and Incompressible fluids area preserving?

(Which brings us to fluid dynamics and superhydrodynamics or better i.e. superfluid quantum gravity with Bernoulli and navier-stokes, and vortices of curl, and gravity (maybe with gravitons) if the particles are massful, otherwise we call it "radiation pressure" and "solar wind" and it also causes relative displacement)

Well put, and separating these would be a good use case for system prompts e.g.

> There is no price transparency in many businesses. Try buying airline tickets online

People hate airline pricing as well, so I'm not sure that makes the point you think it does. I don't see why "lots of business do something people don't like" somehow means people should stop disliking it.

> It is quite silly to even discuss "price transparency" in 2024 mates :)

If you think it's silly to spend time discussing it, you're not under any obligation to. There's nothing wrong with people who do think it's an issue discussing it either though, and I don't think anyone concerned by it is going to be particularly dissuaded by just asserting that they shouldn't be.

There are even bigger problems. For example, the common “this region lights up more if this is done” type of fMRI studies are suspect because what the fMRI tool does may have no bearing to actual brain function.

It's not just about form factor though, it needs to be able to do the same function or suitable replacement operations as well as the older device did.

Only yesterday there was an HN piece decrying the listed property relationship to WFH and the push to go back to the office.

I personally think that the HNW who are the c-suites have been asked by their Listed Property Trust managers to try and fix the vacancy rate problem because if this sector tanks, their component of investment in property tanks too.

I don't see this as "conspiracy" -it's pretty simple. If you invested in property in these locations the chances are it was a contra to occupy the investment and maximise it's value to you. Naming rights to a building isn't just a sign on the roof it's usually indicative of a major sublease or tenancy.

If you aren't using the tenancy, other parts of your investment management side would be saying "why are we paying this rent" and then the virtuous circle of "well.. our property people said we'd do better if we DID use it" .. comes up.

Hey, I want to thank you, erikaww, and underbiding for pointing me at a great research topic: a big rock I can turn over and see what's slithering around under there:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41631995
It's because there's no need to build it until you need to do this experiment though - this is the sort of bounds-pushing which top-end physics always does (i.e. before the LHC was built, sensors as good as ATLAS didn't exist, before LIGO the necessary interferometers didn't exist).

What they're proposing to build thought is however a logical refinement of established and demonstrated physical principles - it's entangling the vibrational state of a the big block of Aluminum to a system which you can more easily read out without disturbing it (examples in the literature seem to include circulating currents in super-conducting loops - so you can spectroscopically probe the state of the vibrating thing by looking at shifts in the emission/absorption of your superconductor, which is much easier).

Basically it is an experimental setup which is achievable with technology we would want to build anyway as a refinement of existing work.
If that's an option it's usually what I do but often they're mandatory.
Everything wears out. Early OLED's wore out faster than already very mature LCD tech, but that's just the nature of early adoption of new tech.
