Soviet Union didn't do so much business with the U.S., they are a country of thugs that think violence is the only way to get their way.

China is very different. Their economy is very much dependent on trade with the U.S. and they know that trying to have "world domination" would also crash their economy completely. China would much rather engage in economic warfare than military.
a) anything that the government done for the internet was before science was corrupted by government
b) what the government did for the internet was 1% of at the very, very best. And there is a chance so close to 100% that a similar thing would have been done without government even the 1% does not matter.

No reference to SCIM?

OIDC is far preferable to SAML, but the last time I touched this, half the reason why customers preferred SAML was because their IdP supported SCIM but only for SAML applications.
Not a believer personally but there's no downside for palantir in this because they are market leaders in their space and almost anything they do to improve their tech lead can be sold in PR terms as AI at this point.

It would make sense that improved pattern match in text and image allowed them to do significantly more for LEA and with the contracts, they're going to be coining it for decades.
Keep in mind they're also dealing with being potentially the only thing keeping China from invading Taiwan. So keeping their competitive advantage is very important to them.
My comprehension of it was very low.
I imagine the 6800 series might have taken off more if Apple had used it. It was somewhat successful in the 8-bit market.

The 68000 series of 16/32 bit CPUs was a viable alternative to x86 in the 1980s and was used by Apple (not to mention other vendors) for about a decade. When Apple/IBM/Motorola committed to PowerPC in 1991, that was presumably the beginning of the end for the 68K series.

Amusingly Apple shipped its first ARM-based system (Newton) in 1993, while the first PowerPC Mac didn't ship until 1994.
> This is trying to displace responsibility for fossil fuel extraction to some remote place with different incentives.

That seems meaningless to me. You can’t displace responsibility for a global problem. You do realise extraction is massively done by national companies in countries which hold the ressource and not by developed countries. The days Big Oil dominated the market are long gone.

That’s the core of the issue. You won’t magically convince countries which are entirely dependent on fossil fuels for their prosperity to stop. That’s why tackling production is missing the point. Unless you find alternative to consumption and develop capture, you are bound to fail.
Saw the YouTube video when it was first posted, and it could be a great match for a new project I have in mind.

Is there a practical implementation yet that supports not just strings, but also lists and maps?

Would be great to see it integrated into yjs / y-crdt.
No, you are right..

If the data are really that mutable, why not go with a service doing the query in RAM and then back it up to disk every second?

This could be an SQLiter :memory: opportunity. Keep everything in tables and blow off the parsing.

Then the AI weenies can go ahead and predict the answers in advance.

That’s a meaningless line.

People fall gradually more as inclinaison rises. There is no arbitrary cliff as 20° is crossed. Plus, minor issues but not insignificant issues like slippage probably started at very low level.

You have artificially transformed a continuous issue into a threshold which is intellectually shoddy.

You go tell the Nigerian that they should accept to die of starvation (the country feeds itself through oil export and its population is booming) because sadly the USA polluted too much. It’s all for the greater good after all.

These things are going to happen unless we transi... no, wait, that's too late... unless we learn to adapt and actually adapt.
Tesla's "Full Self Driving" is most definitely NOT full self driving --- according to Tesla.

As further proof of this point, reports are that Tesla has been training a car to drive around a selected movie studio lot for their upcoming robotaxi demo.

And all indications are that this staged production will work as planned to keep investors engaged in the fantasy that has been ongoing for over a decade.

For a realistic robotaxi demo, let's put Elon in the backseat and ask the car to drive him to a randomly chosen destination 10 miles away and see how it goes.

But this won't happen. Because FSD is NOT fsd --- and it is blatantly obvious that Elon knows this as well as anyone.
The question really is if one couldn't make multiprocess better instead of multithreaded. I did a ton of MPI work with python ten years ago already.

What's more I am now seeing in Julia that multithreading doesn't scale to larger core counts (like 128) due to the garbage collector. I had to revert to multithreaded again.
I really wish Nim's documentation was more accessible, but once you wrap your head around its peculiarities, it's a joy to work with.
This is why I switched to deno deploy. Much of the same benefits and much more portable stack.
Such systems need to use a secure and trusted OS, if an OS is actually needed. Many get away without one.

The problem was that their parameter file had no header for the machine type. Unchecked memcpy in space is seldom good, and you are lucky if it trips a shutdown. Rotating satellites don't tend to unrotate in time, and very soon they are gone.
You missed quoting the next sentence about providing confidence metric.

Humans may be wrong a lot but at least the vast majority will have the decency to say “I don’t know”, “I’m not sure”, “give me some time to think”, “my best guess is”. In contrast to most LLMs today that in full confidence just spews out more hallucinations.
What are your thoughts on how GenAI might impact documentation best practices in the near future?
There is a middle ground between woodworking and TikTok, no? People enjoyed talking to each other and had fun before we had technology.

It’s easy to see social media as harmless, and maybe it is, but it also has the potential to act as a powerful tool for serving propaganda and brainwashing.

I’m not suggesting an actual conspiracy theory here but it’s concerning that a few huge companies have the power to broadcast (and control) the flow of information to a majority of population, who will consume that information by and large without suspicion.

If for some reason Facebook or TikTok really wanted to meaningfully shift public opinion, they probably could, and in any direction they might choose.
I was briefly a member of a makerspace with a laser cutter - and it was brilliant! The ratio of effort to results was far better than any other CNC tools I’ve used.

But then COVID and moving house put an end to that. I’d love to recreate something similar at home - but at a budget.

Does anyone have a low cost laser cutter that actually works? It seems like there’s an increasing number of Chinese ones out there, but quality and capabilities are unclear.

Baremetal of course. If it gets complicated (ie threads): QNX, vxworks, L4.
I completely agree with the author that renaming the L1 cache memory as L0 and introducing a new L1 cache, as done by Intel is a completely misleading terminology.

The correct solution is that from the parent article, to continue to call the L1 cache memory as the L1 cache memory, because there is no important difference between it and the L1 cache memories of the previous CPUs, and to call the new cache memory that has been inserted between the L1 and L2 cache memories as the L1.5 cache memory.

Perhaps Intel did this to give the very wrong impression that the new CPUs have a bigger L1 cache memory than the old CPUs. To believe this would be incorrect, because the so called new L1 cache has a much lower throughput and a worse latency than a true L1 cache memory of any other CPU.

The new L1.5 is not a replacement for an L1 cache, but it functions as a part of the L2 cache memory, with identical throughput as the L2 cache, but with a lower latency. As explained in the article, this has been necessary to allow Intel to expand the L2 cache to 2.5 MB in Lunar Lake and to 3 MB in Arrow Lake S (desktop CPU), in comparison with AMD, which has an only 1 MB L2 cache (but a bigger L3 cache).

According to rumors, while the top AMD desktop CPUs without stacked cache memory have an 80 MB L2+L3 cache (16 MB L2 + 64 MB L3), the top Intel model 285K might have 78 MB of cache, i.e. about the same amount, but with a different distribution on levels: 2 MB L1.5 + 40 MB L2 + 36 MB L3. Nevertheless, until now there is no official information from Intel about Arrow Lake S, whose launch is expected in a month from now, so the amount of L3 cache is not certain, only the amounts of L2 and L1.5 are known from earlier Intel presentations.

Lunar Lake is an excellent design for all applications where adequate cooling is impossible, i.e. thin and light notebooks and tablets or fanless small computers.

Nevertheless, Intel could not abstain from not using unfair marketing tactics. Almost all the benchmarks presented by Intel at the launch of Lunar Lake have been based on the top model 288V. Both top models 288V and 268V are likely to be unobtainium for most computer models, while at the few manufacturers that will offer this option they will be extremely overpriced.

Most available and affordable computers with Lunar Lake will not offer any better CPU than 258V, which is the one tested in the parent article. 258V has only 4.8 GHz/2.2 GHz turbo/base clock frequencies, vs. 5.1 GHz/3.3 GHz of the 288V used in the Intel benchmarks and in many other online benchmarks. So the actual experience of most Lunar Lake users will not match most published benchmarks, even if it will be good enough in comparison with any competitors in the same low-power market segment.
Yeah; it means the heuristic they use is a good one
It'd be volume limited, as the other comment points out Uranium is pretty dense.

I would certainly agree that nobody should actually try to put a year's generation of dangerous nuclear waste in 3 shipping containers. It'd be hazardous and the shipping containers couldn't be moved without breaking (probably do some damage to them even without moving them). The point is more that we're dealing with a volume of material that is - for an industrial society - tiny. There is a reason that in practice it is ignored it despite the braying crowd of people insisting that it is an unsolved problem that we can't ignore. It is an extremely ignoreable problem on the scale of benefits that nuclear power provides.
I think it’s the other way around — the book is from ~ 1985 while the Roger Waters albums is ~ 1992.
Will they maintain that stance when it gets into their pockets? I doubt it. If the public is not minding the difference, why would they?
Emacs org mode with org babel allows you to use many programming languages in its spreadsheets, for at least small sizes of spreadsheets, or multiple spreadsheet throughout the document. There can be some friction though, converting strings to other types, to perform calculation.

Taken literally, it's full of holes.

But if you're not a pedant, I essentially mean that most parents will vaccinate their children, many passengers will book flights, and a majority of the citizens in a population do respect their officials (etcetera).

And I think if you were to dig deeper than this, and test that hypothesis with... well... a scientific experiment of some kind, the result would probably support it.

But a good number of people will naturally question the outcome!

Not exactly. If you focus in on a single technology, you tend to see rapid improvement, followed by slower progress.

What I don't get is that people claim that the incentives are skewed because highly cited paper get you the top jobs. However, assume that a significant subset of the citation are citing because they require the fraudulent result, then this will increase the chance that it would be eventually exposed... and quickly.

That is assume that person publishes results that: "factor X seems to lead to outcome Y". Many other scientists will then start trying to establish the low-hanging fruit result: "something that looks like factor X seems to lead something that looks like outcome Y". In other words they will be performing a sort of replication but in a novel way. If the result is fraudulent, then none of these results will materialise. In other words I don't get how a paper can be fraudulent AND highly-cited without escaping scrutiny, unless we are talking of a fraud mafia.

Here I am using the field of pure mathematics as a mental model. Assume a person publishes a mathematical result with a flawed proof that escapes scrutiny. If this result is used by sufficient number of mathematicians (especially the lemmas used to prove the theorem) then fairly quickly it will end up generating self contradictory results.
The book predates the song and album by about 7 years, so the album name references the book. Postman even mentioned the fact in his 1995 book "The end of education"
It’s not that black and white. Maybe 1% of the top writers can take that stance and maybe even charge more for their all-human content (in a kind of vintage, handcraft kind of way) but the other 99% will have to adapt.

It’s simply more nuanced. If you’re writing a couple of articles a day to pay for your bills, what will stop you from writing actually 10 or 20 articles a day instead?
Yes, the exact same reasoning applies to my stance on alcohol and all self-harming behavior. Did you really have to ask?
Dated or not, if half of the criticisms are right, the original paper may need to be retracted. No progress on RL for chip design was published by Google since 2022, as far as I can tell. So, it looks like most if not all criticisms remain valid.

Brave New World and 1984 are books to avoid every extreme on politics, either left or right (put every Monopoly neocon fanboy, racist non-civic nationalist or burocratic socialist in there).

No, it's not a model of a human brain, like bicycle is not a model of human legs. It's artificial intelligence. There are similarities, but we cannot use current AI models to study human brain: it's useless for that job.

I'm saying I role-play the scenario of being valued at order-of a trillion USD. Or quarter trillion if it's the two specific trades in the example above.

Being that rich doesn't lead my imagination to new happiness that I don't already possess, only new stresses that I don't already posess. I don't want a super yacht, a personal jet, nor a skyscraper with my name on it, and a private island is less appealing to me than a tourist destination.

Knowing this about myself, I don't need to chase higher pay or timing the markets to get things I can't currently afford, instead I focus on things that I do like. Those things in aggregate cost less than €12k/year, including travel.

Honestly, if the employees were that trigger-happy, it sounds like the system was working well.
If it were simply about your taxes, that's one thing. [1] But voucher systems aren't simply that.

For example, https://www.woodridge.k12.oh.us/m/news/show_news.jsp?REC_ID=... says the voucher then would be $6000 per student.

It is extremely unlikely that your family is paying $6000 in taxes earmarked for the school.

If you send your kid to a voucher school then your taxes, plus those of a lot of other people, are directed away from public schools and into private/voucher schools. Including by people who think the voucher system is corrupt, and without the "public audit, public representation, uniform accounting, teacher licensure, public records rules, student testing requirements, or many other mandates that public schools are forced to follow." (Quoting that link.)

The voters directly voted for local property tax levies for the school district. They did not vote for these levies to be sent to voucher schools. It was the state which overrode local democracy.

[1] Not a good thing, but it is a thing. I don't get to decide to not pay taxes for the new road construction even though I think the road construction system is corrupt.

This is true, but when do you really work with array buffers in Javascript? The default choice for whatever it is that you're doing is almost always something else, save for a few edge cases, and then you're stuck trying to bend your business logic to a different data type.
If you find yourself in a situation where you write one book at the same time as your peers are writing ten, how can you keep up? Also how can you justify to yourself not using it if nobody around you seems to value that, and even worse, is pushing you to actually use it? I find it hard to find a reason why you would. Unless we see a super strong reader revolution that collectively decides to shun AI and pay more money for all-human books.

Actually I brought up this argument at the EA meeting. Someone mentioned that a disproportionate percentage of CEOs are psychopaths, and I said we should utilize that. If extremely powerful people have a need to look good for selfish reasons, why not help them achieve this selfish goal by saving lives? It sounds like a highly optimal outcome to me.

Then this morning I've been reading the New Yorker article on EA and it sounds like they're already way ahead of me in that line of thinking...
