There are a number of things they are doing other than direct money. Buy American acts, sanctions (and other taxes/deductions). Even the threat to do something that isn't done is a powerful tool.
Can you?

I’ve never heard that from a C++ dev.

I don’t think any C++ dev worth talking about thinks that C++ is particularly safe, just that (modern) C++ has plenty of powerful safety features. (Like smart pointers. Analogous to rust’s Rc and Arc)

So much so that it approaches rust’s safety promises in the most common cases.

In what I’ve seen, C++ devs are largely unconvinced that rust is more safe than modern C++ in the most common cases, but rust has a much higher complexity cost, especially when integrating with C code.

It’s really hard to convince hardcore C and C++ devs to use rust, because most of the touted features are seen as fixes for skill issues. Not because they believe that rust is not safer.

The history of domestic cat coats is really fascinating. It wasn't until photography and cartoon artists like Louis Wain that breeding cats for coat color and pattern really took off. Then pedigree cat shows emerged and cats exploded in variety. We've only been aggressively selectively breeding cats for about 150 years, so there's a lot of potential still.
In science fiction you pretty much have to accept either a single source of life or amazing convergent evolution. How can Vulcans mate successfully with humans in Star Trek, if they aren't animals very closely related to Homo sapiens? Or the humans in Star Wars that lived "long ago in a galaxy far far away".

Redux uses context but does not do full re-renders except if you are using it wrong. It does a shallow compare on the object resulting from your selector to decide whether or not to re-render a component.

That being said, none of the React projects I've had the chance of working on in the last 5 or 6 years has used Redux, so stating that it's been the go-to state management library for nearly a decade kind of sounds weird to me.

The boundaries make it pretty obvious how flat this world still is and even on blurring the edges it's obvious there really isn't anything to the models. This is cool for sure, and I can see it being useful for better photogrammetry and assisting in building out worlds, but it isn't going to suddenly be used to make entire game worlds on its own.
You should care about counterparty risks. If your business model depends on unsustainable 3rd party prices powered by VC largesse and unrealizable dreams of dominance, the very least you can do is plan for the impending reckoning, after which GPU proces will be determined by costs.
I think you have a point in that we can't expect modern audiences to adopt human-centric software. I don't think that this is a software-specific problem though, in that the very architectural designs that Christopher Alexander would endorse don't have capacity for scale (or the scale we expect).

I think your argument could even be taken a step further in that "human-centric" or "living" software may not even be possible, given that software, in contrast to built environments which go back 10000+ years, doesn't have a "timeless" aspect to it. Like, how many strip mines, factories, power plants, logistic networks, etc. are all necessary to sustain our computing lives, and would this fit into the the "timeless way" referred to?

I imagine if software was to reach a "timeless" status, existing in some sort of equilibrium in human society for thousands of years, and assuming this equilibrium is at some level of scale smaller than what exists now, I imagine something like Emacs being what a certain class scholars would use, mainly for specialized calculations that other societies have valued (e.g. astronomical, calendrical, bureaucratic).
I am amazed -- stunned -- how many people here seem to think that Gelsinger was the right person for the job, but wronged by the people who pre-dated him (BK?!) or the CHIPS act (?!) or other conditions somehow out of his control.

Gelsinger was -- emphatically -- the wrong person for the job: someone who had been at Intel during its glory days and who obviously believed in his heart that he -- and he alone! -- could return the company to its past. That people fed into this messianic complex by viewing him as "the return of the engineer" was further problematic. To be clear: when Gelsinger arrived in 2021, the company was in deep crisis. It needed a leader who could restore it to technical leadership, but could do so by making some tough changes (namely, the immediate elimination of the dividend and a very significant reduction in head count). In contrast, what Gelsinger did was the worst of all paths: allowed for a dividend to be paid out for far (FAR!) too long and never got into into really cutting the middle management undergrowth. Worst of all, things that WERE innovative at Intel (e.g., Tofino) were sloppily killed, destroying the trust that Intel desperately needs if it is to survive.

No one should count Intel out (AMD's resurrection shows what's possible here!), but Intel under Gelsinger was an unmitigated disaster -- and a predictable one.
I think two of the absolute worst names of them all are "dynamic programming" and "memoization". Don't get me wrong: I'll write you a 0-1 knapsack using DP in a hurry without any problem but it's just crazy that it's called "dynamic programming".

I don't care about the justification for the term "dynamic programming" nor for the term "memoization". They are just plain wrong.

Honestly compared to these two, "Bloom filter" sounds reasonable.

Heck, if "dynamic programming" had been called "Bellman programming" and "memoization" had been called "Mitchie memo" (by the name of their respective inventors), it would be less confusing.

So maybe, after all, that "Bloom filter" isn't that bad. Had we let the author pick a name, maybe he'd have picked "ephemeral spectrum" or something like that.

Yeah. I think naming after the name of the inventor is far from the worse actually. And it kinda gives credit where it's due too.
I wasn't aware that the favoured term had changed. I do think universal is clearer and much less silly.

Yes. I knew someone who published a PHP-based neural network on their site around 2010 or so that could read CAPTCHAs who got his site hacked because it was a little over the line.

The main technique used by Re:CAPTCHA is web tracking; the best sign that somebody is not a bot is to find a set of tracking cookies that can be linked up to a long history of ads served even if never clicked on.
I just briefly reviewed the README docs, I believe the KlongPy is a custom language which transpiles to Python. The REPL block you are trying to interpret is the KlongPy REPL not a Python one.

Embedding KlongPy in a Python block would look more like this (also from the docs):

from klongpy import KlongInterpreter
import numpy as np

data = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
klong = KlongInterpreter()
# make the data NumPy array available to KlongPy code by passing it into the interpreter
# we are creating a symbol in KlongPy called 'data' and assigning the external NumPy array value
klong['data'] = data
# define the average function in KlongPY
klong('avg::{(+/x)%#x}')
# call the average function with the external data and return the result.
r = klong('avg(data)')
print(r) # expected value: 3

Note the calls to "klong('<some-str-of-klong-syntax')".

Can you explain the second part of your automation?
Exactly, it's the production of the phones where most of the carbon is generated.

As for the comparisons there, it's hard to make head or tails of the meaning, because the "context" provided is apples to oranges. A million cars versus how many phones? Or a million cars versus how many cars in Europe? Citing a big number does not mean much unless we have something to compare that big number to, and I question the intentions of such "bald big numbers" because I see it so often used to muddy the waters and confuse people on many topics. For example, nuclear advocates will often disparage solar, talking about X million square kilometers without giving any context on whether that's actually a big number or not.

2.1Mt CO2 (over how many years with that "by 2030") versus how many Gt Co2 per year? Seems to be 2.5-3.1Gt/year based on a web search..

And what percentage of total EU emissions are from cars?

These numbers also make the argument that phones are a small rounding error compared to other much bigger actions.

Should we mandate repairability? Of course! It's good! But getting bent out of shape on the impact of phones compared to far more common and wasteful practices is a bad use of our limited amount of time to make drastic action.

And the EU is far better on cars than the US, so perhaps it makes more sense for them to take action on phones, but in the US, our car addiction makes for far better and practical environmental action.

> The moat of the two companies together would give the new combined company plenty of time to ramp up their fabs.

Doubt.

Neither of the companies is particularly competitive on either processor or GPU architecture nor fabrication.

A merger of those entities looks like nothing but a recipe for further x86 stagnation and an even quicker death for the entities involved imho.

In particular I cannot see what's good in it for AMD. The fabs have no use/clear path forward. Their processors/gpu either match our outmatch the Intel offering.

A Broadcom/Apple takeover of Intel sounds much more reasonable.
I think you're missing the entire point of the article. It's attempting to classify a fictional, alien species with a real taxonomy (the only one we currently have available to us).

And yes, "just because they superficially resemble some arthropods in some features doesn't make them an arthropod".. but at the very beginning they point out they cannot use DNA sequences to help classify, so they are only using known physical characteristics.
Is this just a perspective trick or are 3D models generated?

It’s been some years since I left the public service, PowerAutomate didn’t really exist back then. It may be an exception to what I said, I do know my current organisation had a few of those Apps running. I wasn’t much involved in the process, but they were basically discovered because of their cost and later shut down. Since I know basically nothing about this process, the PowerApps would have been made by non-developers since I know all the developers in house. I’ll assume they also must have worked.

On the other hand when I see an office like the one in the article I think what a bunch of cheapskates, working there must be miserable. That seems to be born out by Amazon's reputation as a somewhat difficult employer.

Years ago I did a number of short contracts for distribution companies. Without exception they were terrible places to work. They operate on wafer thin margins so have to watch costs like a hawk. The trouble is they don't know when to turn that off so they inevitably turn into abusive employers.
Not my project, but another approach recently published used Depth Anywhere to create a virtual depthmap for a given 360º equirectangular image and then apply to point cloud and render using three.js / A-Frame.

Appears to be similar capability as OP for creating scene depth from 2D, but using point cloud instead of gaussian splatting for rendering so looks more pixelated:
https://github.com/akbartus/360-Depth-in-WebXR

Also unlike the World Lab example you have the ability to go further outside the bounds of the point cloud to inspect the deficiencies of the approach. It's getting there but still needs work.
We have an almost pure-black void that screams bloody murder at everything--pick her up, screaming; walk in the room, screaming; give her food, screaming--but cuddles more aggressively than any cat I've ever heard of and purrs nonstop (when she isn't screaming). She hisses as a primary communications mechanism. I hear that cat hiss more in a day than every hiss from every other cat I've ever had combined. She also panic poops when the other cat gets within 5 feet.

She is pure, hate-filled joy.
hey , can you give it a try again , i did some update.
He said less demand. He didn't say there would be no demand. Importantly he didn't say intel was divesting discrete GPUs. Perhaps even more importantly they demonstrably aren't divesting.
I mean, that's just late stage capitalism. Growth is required, every revenue stream must have all slack taken out of it. Any money left in the market is inefficiency which capitalism inherently rewards those who can remove inefficiencies. A perfectly balanced market means that every exploitable dollar is, in fact, exploited, which means the poors can't have anything. Whatever money must be paid to them must be then recouped.

And if you think you're safe in the middle class, it was predicted that and would seem to be bearing out as correct that once capitalism has largely completed exploiting the underclass, it can't simply stop exploiting. The next class up becomes the underclass. Then the next. Then the next until we're all broke save for the rich on top, at which point the entire arrangement stalls, money stops flowing, and the system collapses into anarchy.

The project of neoliberalism is difficult to fully articulate, but a major component at least is the "taming" of capitalist economic systems so as to make them sustainable. This project succeeded for a good amount of time, but that was also predicated on having nations to exploit, and room to grow markets. As those things become less true the entire system seems less stable overall. I mean personally I've witnessed three "once in a lifetime" economic crashes so far, and we're looking to be winding up for another one with the incoming administration and their bonkers non-understanding of tariffs.

Degrowth is also stopping to eat tomatoes in the middle of January instead of importing them from the other side of the world, or not eating fucking salmon when you live in South Africa, or not using a 3000kg car to move you 80kg ass around the street to go shopping.

500 exercises over 10 weeks is 50 a week, or 10 a day. This leaves you weekends free, and you get the final weeks (typically 5) of the semester left for all those projects that are due at the end of the semester but you can't start early. 500 a day is too much, but you should be able to do 50-100 problems a day in your study time. And others report that when you do this you get good at doing math and so it takes less time.

Sadly I didn't do that. I graduated and do okay, but I encourage everyone to do better than me. As I get close to retirement I need a few people who are still working to build things (and medical treatments) that makes my life better (and in turn take some of that money I saved up over the years for your own life)
