AFAIK US doesn't have any ABM system that can intercept mach 20 ICBMs, let alone in terminal phase. The closest was FTM-44 in 2020 that hit an "ICBM representative" target midcourse in "highly favourable", i.e. not operational conditions. Which doesn't reveal speed of mock target, but IIRC there was testimony to subcommittee on strategic forces a couple years ago where director of missile defense stated US does not have systems to track "much less intercept" missiles going at mach20, suggesting limits of current capabilities. I would guess not much more than mach10, seeing how few Fattah 1s (mach10-15) were not intercepted in last round of ballistic attacks against Israel in October, where USS Bulkeley (which has ANSPY6V1 / aka highend AEGIS BMD) was trying to shoot them down with SM3s. Granted we don't know interception % of Bulkely, or how many they tried to intercept, but a lot of "high"end Iranian missiles (really medium tier) got through.

In hindsight the fact that these neobanks can advertise their customers' funds are FDIC-insured is crazy. If I run a ponzi scheme but deposit my victims' money at Chase, does that mean I can correctly claim the funds are FDIC-insured?
Was also surprised they omitted Elixir/Erlang from the list of languages. Crazy considering how many messaging apps use OTP on the backend.

>What this really does is remove the ICC's authority.

Not yet. The UK and Italy both declared that they would be legally obligated to abide by the decision, which is unprecendented and historic in itself. Sure, Netanyahu could call their bluff and go to these places, and if they backpedal, then it would undermine the ICC's authority like you said. But Netanyahu would have to call their bluff for that to happen, or they would have to do an about-face before he arrives.

But until then, I would suggest that even the fact that just two well known western democracies quickly backed the ICC's authority (regardless of what they thought of the ruling) just gave the ICC more authority than it ever had before.
Yeah, it's wild to think how much human effort is in each of these subsystems. And how fast-paced everything was at the time, how quickly it became obsolete.

My question was more about what it was that records the patterns of light.
I interviewed at Intel with the old Alpha group after all the acquisitions back in the day - around 2000 - and I remember talking with the guys there in that they couldn't get their EDA tools ported to the Alpha architecture; so they were designing this amazing cpu, but had to do it on "gasping and wheezing" Sparc systems. Good times.

We had the same issues where I ended up working; it was a year or two before 32-bit intel systems started to show up and they absolutely screamed compared to Sparc, but couldn't handle really big jobs. When the amd64 stuff started to come around, that's when you could just see the writing on the wall - Intel / AMD were gonna absolutely kill Sun...

People are losing jobs because of AI. Like it or not, as imperfect as AI may be, AI is having a real world disruptive impact, however negative it may be. Customer service teams and call centers are already being affected by AI, and if they aren't being smart about it, being rendered obsolete.

A lot of folks here seem to look at AI through examples of YC companies apparently. Step back and look instead at the kind of projects technology consultancies are taking up instead - they are real world examples of AI applications, many of which don't even involve LLMs but other aspects such as TTS/STT, image generation, transcription, video editing, etc. Way too many freelancers have begun complaining about how their pipelines have been zilch in the past two years.
I hadn't heard of Managed Service Providers before, but you make a good case for them.

Apparently, the problem is not that the money would be gone but that it’s just somewhere else because only BaaS middleman Synapse has access to the actual reconciliation how these funds distribute across individual fintech end users. According to the article, this is because of „very large bulk transfers“ which did not identify ultimate creditors. I am still puzzled how that can be. If end users top up their digital wallets, they typically send money by means of a real bank transfer to a client money account at a real bank. So at least at this initial point in time it was clear to the underlying banks who owned the money. Apparently, end users then spent money through user-facing fintech apps (I.e., „Yotta“) which is where the problem must have started as reconciliation of funds sat with Synapse only but not with the underlying banks…?

It would be great if someone with more background could comment to clarify as this case is potentially relevant to many other fintech / banking-as-a-service offerings out there.

Unlocking State-Tracking in Linear RNNs Through Negative Eigenvalues
Abstract: Linear Recurrent Neural Networks (LRNNs) such as Mamba, RWKV, GLA, mLSTM, and DeltaNet have emerged as efficient alternatives to Transformers in large language modeling, offering linear scaling with sequence length and improved training efficiency. However, LRNNs struggle to perform state-tracking which may impair performance in tasks such as code evaluation or tracking a chess game. Even parity, the simplest state-tracking task, which non-linear RNNs like LSTM handle effectively, cannot be solved by current LRNNs. Recently, Sarrof et al. (2024) demonstrated that the failure of LRNNs like Mamba to solve parity stems from restricting the value range of their diagonal state-transition matrices to [0,1] and that incorporating negative values can resolve this issue. We extend this result to non-diagonal LRNNs, which have recently shown promise in models such as DeltaNet. We prove that finite precision LRNNs with state-transition matrices having only positive eigenvalues cannot solve parity, while complex eigenvalues are needed to count modulo 3. Notably, we also prove that LRNNs can learn any regular language when their state-transition matrices are products of identity minus vector outer product matrices, each with eigenvalues in the range [−1,1]. Our empirical results confirm that extending the eigenvalue range of models like Mamba and DeltaNet to include negative values not only enables them to solve parity but consistently improves their performance on state-tracking tasks. Furthermore, pre-training LRNNs with an extended eigenvalue range for language modeling achieves comparable performance and stability while showing promise on code and math data. Our work enhances the expressivity of modern LRNNs, broadening their applicability without changing the cost of training or inference.

Depends on exactly what segment of the graphic market, it seems to me that some segments had quite big Sun presence, and early HDTV had the unlikely straggler-survivor with Symbolics.

Yes, they are currently on GCP. What you wrote said they will train their flagship generative AI model primarily on AWS.
And now flipping through the pictures of the internals - I ended up working for LSI Logic in the early 2000's, so it's fun to see all these LSI chips although they were before my time. Certainly some of my older colleagues worked on these.

You'll notice the numbers on these L1Axxxx - this is an internal LSI number, after they ran out of numbers for the xxxx part they bumped it to L2Axxxx and I worked on a few chips with those designations.
The fact that any bank would advertise "FDIC insured" is silly, as it conditions potential customers to look to the banks for this information. It would be better if folks were conditioned to consult only the FDIC themselves for this information.

Once upon a time you would buy an entire system from the EDA vendor like Mentor Graphics, Zuken or whomever, early on those could be quite bespoke and then eventually they used COTS like the HP 9000/300 and Apollo DN10000. And then the generic RISC systems purchased direct from the OEM and eventually the amd64 dominance you describe.

I have some IBM POWER2SC (SuperChip) systems with intel asset tags that presumably were used for something special (very pricey machine), maybe MCAD :)

PA-RISC was really pushing the performance horizon in the late '90s (like 2-3 years ahead of intel) and had great EDA tools support which was an odd situation because the ISA was effectively frozen in 1997 (thanks Itanium) and just got process and implementation updates that scaled pretty well.
Same here. Except we do a two week rotation, and it aligns with our sprints. The active on-call engineer doesn’t have any assigned sprint work and focuses their effort on fixing bugs or cleaning up the backlog when they’re not actively triaging an incident.
Windows NT 3.x and 4.x ran pretty much on whatever had at least 32bits and little endian byte order, and vendor willing to support the porting effort.

Though it's especially hilarious that MIPS ARC died pretty fast (outside of SGI ARC variant which was big-endian) so on most other platforms Windows was dragging around a wrapper around platform firmware that provided enough ARC interfaces for ntoskrnl.exe to boot.
These are probably all semi-custom standard cell, which LSI was known for, no?
Or maybe he's testing how you deal with that situation. It's a job interview, not a school exam.
I agree it was always about resources, that's why it's long been Russian policy to forcibly occupy the iron and coal rich Donbass, starting in tsarist times, continuing during soviet times and reaching its culmination now.

The US didn't have to stage no coup, the Ukrainian people knew very well that Russia would never respect Ukraine's territorial integrity, as they have been proving almost continously for over a century now.

You just described X11's DRI (direct rendering infrastructure).

Your description of events sounds like it comes from a domestic abuser.

The people choose the west instead of russia, and russia attacks them in retaliation. "Look what you made me do," says the abuser as they abuse in response, upset their victim prefers someone else. The abuser believes their abuse is righteous, but it is actually illegal and immoral.

In reality, nobody made the abuser abuse. Violence is the response of the unhappy abuser because they're unable to deal with their feelings like a civilized person. Of course the abuser could go away and mind their own business, rather than abusing. They just don't want to. The abuser feels absolutely entitled to absolutely control their victims.
The fact that Ukraine was right to reject the xenophobic psychopath state which denies even the existence of their people is written in the blasted stones and their children's blood spilled on the ground.

If not for one mans ambitions the war would not be. If not for his pride it could not continue.

The government of Ukraine is elected lawfully.

They prople rejected Viktor Yanukovych his deal with Russia and the murder of his citizens. The Ukrainian parliment voted to remove him. Russia responded by trying to take by violence what they could take by treachery.

Viktor Yanukovych supports the mass murder of his own people and the people chose a new less craven leader.

IBM's POWER and POWER2 were also many (8-10 depending) chips in CMOS which was an exotic approach as most RISCs had converged to single die microprocessors but made it possible to beat a lot of vendors in the superscalar punch and push the complexity of SMP out a while (for both vendor and user). The POWER2SC converged it all onto one die, and then eventually IBM became well known for exotic RISC MCMs.

In the mainframes the TCM is somewhat famous, really beautiful Bipolar designs with relatively low gate count but a ton of high performing dice (and high heat, hence TCM) on an exotic MCM.

Technically true but if real numbers are allowed you don't have a puzzle.

FDIC insurance is why people trust banks. I'm still trying to figure out what Synapse was. Not a bank though. Whatever they were, clearly they shouldn't have been trusted.
One thing I miss from that era of machines was just the way they looked: at the time, most machines were grey or black boxes, but the SGIs had some degree of personality to them. The O2's were fun little curvy boxes. One of my favorites were the large rack systems - one of my jobs had us working with the Origin 2000 and PowerChallenge machines. Compared to some of the generic clusters of rack mounted Alpha systems that we had around the same time, the SGIs just had a cool look to them.
I watched some YouTube videos that said it was a bank app (sort of) before changing to gambling.

When I worked at HP in the mid 80s I met the guys there that developed the UI design of CDE. Ironically done on Macintosh IIs using Pixelpaint. It was a very nice design.
Yeah, LSI had their own standard cell libraries up to around 180nm, then they didn't want to invest in fabs and started working with TSMC - beginning of the end for them really. I signed off a couple chips on both sides of that transition.

I worked in a group that did physical design, timing closure, test insertion, etc. I did a lot of layout automation in Avanti's tools; sometime after I left, it all went to Cadence I believe.
> The mystery of where those funds are hasn’t been solved, despite six months of court-mediated efforts between the four banks involved. That’s mostly because the estate of Andreessen Horowitz-backed Synapse doesn’t have the money to hire an outside firm to perform a full reconciliation of its ledgers, according to Jelena McWilliams, the bankruptcy trustee.

Ok, so they can’t find $50m cause they don’t have any money? They still have $11m that they intend to pay customers back. Surely the customers are willing to sacrifice some of that to pay someone to look at the spreadsheets.

Also, that A16z isn’t willing to pay out of pocket for the reconciliation is a disgrace. Surely the bad PR is worth much more than the cost of the audit…
It Is Never Too Late to Start Your Journey
My first question is how the government could let the app/arrangement happen in the first place. I'm guessing they thought it was "just an extra layer before hitting the real bank," which is what I assumed everyone was thinking when they deposited their money.

When apparently it's "not quite", then I guess it's illegal?

“Play Games. Win Big.” seems to be their current website’s slogan. In your archive link the same text instead reads “Banking for Winners”, which helps explain why people would be putting their life savings into this thing. In the small text below, they did say “Yotta is a financial technology company, not a bank.”, but that was immediately followed by: “Banking services provided by Evolve Bank & Trust and Thread Bank; Members FDIC.”

And they weren’t lying about that. This isn’t some cryptocurrency rug pull. They really were operating under the regulated financial system, in concert with banks. It isn’t even a situation where someone stole the money, as far as anyone can tell.

Sure, perhaps customers should have avoided the company for independent reasons, like the bad interest rate or the risk of it being an outright scam. But it’s hard for me to blame them when the actual failure mode was completely different and unexpected.
What are you even asking?
I don't think Yanukovych knew there would be violent riots with rightwing larpers in funny looking helmets.

> It's not the Longshoreman's union fault that truck drivers have zero leverage against their employers in comparison.

If that shipping method is cheaper than a union charge, then the union charge is too high.

Even though yes truck drivers should be getting paid more.

Like, okay, we could pay truck drivers twice as much and now it's only cheaper to truck the containers around 150 miles or whatever? That's still way too expensive.

And a carbon tax doesn't fix this. It makes trucking more expensive but it doesn't make the charge for using a crane less expensive.
Clade I Mpox Timeline
I interviewed at this company about 2 years ago. The CTO himself interviewed me but he wasn't good at it because he asked many unrelated questions and wasn't able to answer my questions without making things up. Basic questions like what their current goals are and why they chose their current tech stack were left unanswered.

Then he told me I did good and he wants to do another interview but together with his cofounder next time. I agreed and never heard from him again. Hopefully they improved on this and stopped ghosting people.
