The basic problem with using HF radio is that you need to know most of the things required for a ham license to operate one. Modern HF radios have displays, scanners, lots of features, and are moderately complicated to operate. Even hooking up an antenna requires some understanding of what antennas really do.

Here's a typical modern portable ham radio.[1] (Not a recommendation, just an example) This one does both HF and VHF, so you can reach both SHARES and locals. Here are some simple wire antenna kits.[2] If you have both of those items, and some kind of power (a car battery), you can contact various US emergency services, radio hams, preppers, and whatnot, even if infrastructure is down for hundreds of miles around.
A small solar panel to charge the thing would be a good idea. All this is probably about US$1500.

Any isolated town should have something like that, and some people who know how to use it.
Town halls, volunteer fire departments, sheriff's offices, etc. are good locations to keep it.

Preppers seem to be more into VHF handhelds such as the Baofeng UV-5R. That's about US$80.
Less range, can't reach SHARES, but can reach a few miles, depending on terrain.
Useful if you're two miles from the main road.

Here's a prepper view.[3] He uses a Slinky as an antenna.

Once you have the ability to communicate at all, the problem is finding someone useful to talk to in an emergency. There's no addressing, just frequencies. On HF there's so much range that most of the people you can reach are not in a position to do much. The whole point of SHARES is that there are a few frequencies where someone is regularly listening. During a disaster, they're probably dealing with bigger problems than yours, so calling up Homeland Security HQ as an individual may not be helpful for anything not immediately life-threatening.

If you're near a coast, you can usually reach the Coast Guard on a marine VHF channel. They're a first responder set up to take radio calls.[4] If the emergency requires a boat, call them. Marine Channel 16 VHF-FM (156.8 MHz). The Coast Guard gets involved with major floods, they maintain good communications with other emergency services, and they know almost everybody with a boat.

Ok that makes sense, I think archivebox works as the first step in a pipeline there, with some other tool doing the LLM analysis and query stuff.
That's false, it didn't govern curved bananas. At one point they considered creating a classification for bananas, not banning curved/straight bananas.

It's in the document that you linked. Even if that was the case, it would have ment that the UK demanded that. EU is not a Belgian institution, only the building is there and the people in that Building that make those EU laws and regulations are from France, Denmark, Spain and previously UK. You can confirm that by checking old photos and spot Nigel Farage.

Anyway, food in UK is horrendous and maybe UK should just go with the flow and do whatever continentals say about food :) Continentals can learn other stuff from the British of course. Like tap water being provided for free at every restaurant.
unweighted GPA, relative class ranking, and SAT/ACT for college admissions - sort of like what the UCs do

UC admissions decisions don't use SAT or ACT scores.

Relative class ranking is a poor measure for students who gained entry (by merit) to a selective high school.

Like if you do well in middle school and get into Lowell by the skin of your teeth, should you be penalized for being in the bottom 10%?

> the 45 trillion operations per second that’s listed in the specs

Such a spec should be ideally be accompanied by code demonstrating or approximating the claimed performance. I can't imagine a sports car advertising a 0-100km/h spec of 2.0 seconds where a user is unable to get below 5 seconds.
I think these people simply had bad insurance.

I've dealt with multiple home-owners policies over the years including one claim for a hurricane-powered tree branch piercing completely through the roof & window of a bedroom and one case of a complete under-foundation water main break resulting in a "write-off" flood of the basement and parts of the foundation.

In both cases, there was an explicit clause related to "re-build as-new to extant code" and, though it took time, everything was re-built as new--including to new code related to water-main piping, electrical grounding, and foundation cement sealants.

I concur that having terrible baseline building codes and dwelling underwriting is long-term lose-lose.
I recall looking over the Ryzen AI architecture and the NPU is just plugged into PCIe and thus gets completely crap memory bandwidth. I would expect it might be similar here.
Some decades ago, I worked with professional photo artists. Some did make photos for fashion magazines, one won "Word press photo" award couple times.
When they make portraits, one rule is to always ask model to look slightly off the camera. As some explained, it adds some "life" to portrait.
So, the tool does just the opposite to the art rules.

A couple of thoughts, but I largely agree with you.

> Obfuscating the game will only go so far, as demonstrated by the mixed success of Denuvo DRM.

Denuvo is for the most part DRM, rather than anticheat. It's goal is to stop people pirating the game during the launch window.

> The game will not be the most privileged process on the machine, while cheaters are glad to allow root/kernel access to cheats.

This ship has sailed. Modern Anticheat platforms are kernel level.

> TPMs cannot be trusted to secure games, as they are exploitable.

Disagree here - for the most part (XIM's being the notable exception) cheating is not a problem on console platforms.

> AI enabled cheats no longer need any internal access at all. They can simply monitor display output and automate user input to automate certain actions like perfect aim and perfect movement.

I don't think these are rampant, or even widespread yet. People joyfully claim that because cheats can be installed in hardware devices that there's no point in cheating, but the reality is the barrier to entry of these hyper advanced cheats _right now_ means that the mitigations that are currently in place are necessary and (somewhat) sufficient.
A forward-thinking perspective, balancing enthusiasm with pragmatism. Yet is Apple really onto something that could transform how frequent travelers engage with tech on the go?
“Children learn what they live. Put kids in a class and they will live out their lives in an invisible cage, isolated from their chance at community; interrupt kids with bells and horns all the time and they will learn that nothing is important or worth finishing; ridicule them and they will retreat from human association; shame them and they will find a hundred ways to get even. The habits taught in large-scale organizations are deadly.”

No, most Gazans died after the end of 2023, even if the rate has decelerated somewhat. The death toll by December 2023 was maybe 22 000. Today it is more than 45 000. And again, these are only direct killings. The death toll from lack of access to medicine, food, and water is only mounting day by day.

And I showed you the explicit declared intentions and outlook on the population of Gaza of Israel's leadership. They want to kill, hurt, and displace the population, in retaliation for October 7th and other crimes.
most likely multiplying the same 128x128 matrix from cache to cache. That gets you perfect MAC utilization with no need to hit memory. Gets you a big number that is not directly a lie - that perf IS attainable, on a useless synthetic benchmark
You're right to group Data teams together. They seem to share a common plight.

In my experience, internal employees outside Data have a funny relationship with Data. They hate to manage it but they love to blame it, especially in analytical / decision-making scenarios. Teams that "own" the data usually get the blame, on top of having to deal with a mass of rotting pipes and noncompliant teams, while also losing out on credit when non-Data teams report big wins.

Based on what the GP says, it sounds like Palantir knows how to exploit common internal politics around Data. They build up technical & social expertise in ETL'ing disparate data sources, and they can avoid blame by being hired by executives as an external third party.
It’s absurd, really. Attestation is clearly a feature intended for high security environments, where you want to ensure all employees use their corporate hardware authenticators and those only, yet people act like it’s big techs secret, evil mind control back door.

Things like grab some markdown text and ask to make a pip/npm install one liner, or quick js scripts to paste in the console (which I didn't bother to open an editor), a fun use case was random drawing some lucky winners for the app giveaway from reddit usernames. Mostly it's converting unstructured text to short/one-liner executable scripts & doesn't require much intelligence. For more complex automation/scripts that I'll save for later, I do resort to providers (cursor w sonnet 3.5 mostly).
Nothing worse than sniffing each-other's farts when we're already working hard. Eek. I'd prefer levity any day.
I think the results show that just in general the compute is not used well. That the CPU took 8.4ms and GPU took 3.2ms shows a very small gap. I'd expect more like 10x - 20x difference here.
I'd assume that the onnxruntime might be the issue. I think some hardware vendors just release the compute units without shipping proper support yet. Let's see how fast that will change.

Also, people often mistake the reason for an NPU is "speed". That's not correct. The whole point of the NPU is rather to focus on low power consumption. To focus on speed you'd need to get rid of the memory bottleneck. Then you end up designing your own ASIC with it's own memory. The NPUs we see in most devices are part of the SoC around the CPU to offload AI computations.
It would be interesting to run this benchmark in a infinite loop for the three devices (CPU, NPU, GPU) and measure power consumption.
I'd expect the NPU to be lowest and also best in terms of "ops/watt"

Depends on latitude. In Florida which is subtropical everyone has air conditioning. The UK only spans 10 degrees of latitude. The continental US spans almost 25. So the variability of climate here is HUGE.

Not all definitions are created equal (you seemed to imply that yourself when you said "It doesn't meet your definition of the word open") and the OSI definition is widely considered the de facto standard. Of course no definition is perfect, so if you have specific issues with the OSI definition of open source, go ahead and explain them and your suggested alternative. Otherwise you are making an argument that's impossible to engage with because it's amorphous by design.
Hah, yes. (Although that technically wasn't provably true pre-AKS primality test, which isn't that old.)
It's public relations. Palantir is Not Bad™.
Uh, does anybody not "consider this to be a form of terrorism"?

Of course it is terrorism, very much by definition. Obviously, it would be very unpalatable for any involved politician to call it as such, because of the connotations the word has (or rather "has assigned"), so they will exercise doublespeak, doing which perfectly is their core expertise. But it would be funny, if anybody at all buys into that.
Well that fraction coincides with when demand is the highest.

Good, given the right geography.

- Hydrothermal: great if you're in Iceland, or near Yellowstone, or other such place blessed by heated rock being close to the surface. Not as great if you need to drill 7 km to reach it.

- Hydro: great if you have a lot of mountains and rivers, like Switzerland or Norway. Harder if you don't, like in much of Texas, to say nothing of Florida.

- Tidal: great if you have a sea shore, preferably with narrow bays / fjords. But if you're in a place like Turkmenistan (one of the two doubly-landlocked countries), you resort to drilling for and burning methane %)

# Well-Kept Gardens Die By Pacifism

> Good online communities die primarily by refusing to defend themselves.

> Somewhere in the vastness of the Internet, it is happening even now. It was once a well-kept garden of intelligent discussion, where knowledgeable and interested folk came, attracted by the high quality of speech they saw ongoing. But into this garden comes a fool, and the level of discussion drops a little—or more than a little, if the fool is very prolific in their posting. (It is worse if the fool is just articulate enough that the former inhabitants of the garden feel obliged to respond, and correct misapprehensions—for then the fool dominates conversations.)

I don’t mind coverage in CI except when someone fails builds based on reductions in coverage percent, because it ends up squashing refactoring and we want people doing more of that not less.

Sometimes very well covered code is dead code. If it has higher coverage than the rest of the project, then deleting it removes for example 1000 lines of code at 99% coverage, which could reduce the overall by .1%.

And even if it wasn’t 99% when you started, rewriting modules often involves first adding pinning tests, so replacing 1000 lines with 200 new could first raise the coverage percent and then drop it again at the end.

There are some things in CI/CD that should be charts not failures and this is one.
At the risk of diverging off from the original post, I also think that calling it "math" might make things a bit murky (and this is coming from someone who wanted to be algebraic topologist!)

It _is_ an elegant and minimal expression of a style of programming that is ubiquitous among dynamically-typed, garbage-collected languages. And it's a "theory" in the sense that it seems complete, and that you can think of ways to solve problems into Scheme and translate that into other dynamically-typed languages and still end with an elegant solution. Emphasis on the elegant (since minimal, wart-free, consistent and orthogonal, etc.).

Scheme was a simplification and a "cleaning up" compared to conventional Lisps of the time (lexical scoping, single shared namespace for functions and variables etc.)
They didn't open source anything though. They shared some code under some restrictive license.
> Early Amazon was pro-customer in a way that I think most people have forgotten. Maybe that was always the strategy? They were losing money for years, and maybe that was investing in the company, or maybe it was allowing really large losses to keep customers happy, planning all along to eventually clamp down when people were addicted. And here we are.

Yup. This is the playbook of the Enshittification[1] process as coined by Cory Doctorow.

> Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a "two-sided market", where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.

I don't know how many other languages use it but I've long admired Elixir's approach to giving devs access to the AST using its basic types in order to write macros:

It is certainly possible to implement this sort of thing in other languages, I think, depending on the compilation or preprocessing setup

Unfortunately not everyone has resources to start with ads (especially bootstrapped firms or solopreneurs), and in some way growing organically and slowly gives you more time to develop product better.

One cause of the problem is that ~99% of the user-facing OS market is steered by three total companies, for sure.

One difficult bit, though, is interoperability. Even absent monopolist BS (and there’s plenty of that) it makes the OS market tend toward winner-take-all.
