I think that take is slightly missing the point.

Notwithstanding the horror that is the Horizon fallout, the legal rule is much narrower than what is bandied around. It merely says you can't just say "computer got it wrong" and expect the other side to prove otherwise. Or in other words, you need evidence of incorrectness if you're going to claim it.

Now with the Horizon scandal, there was very clearly plenty of evidence. The extraordinary number of mismatched books. Some cases of physical records not matching electronic (these were the few guys that got away). The issue was that the Post Office investigators lied about the evidence, buried it with intimidation, legal threats and NDAs.

The law may or may not be bad as it stands but AFAIU this is like blaming a "computer bug" for the Boeing 737 Max crashes. It wasn't - it was human willful errors executed by imperfect code.
> The failure lies in how management handled it

The thing literally went into a criminal court as evidence, and was "presumed correct" in a way that overloaded any technical or reasonable discordance.

The largest failure here was from the judges and lawyers. The software failure isn't even relevant.

What’s “that”? What do you mean by “work”?

If you mean can we sell 8 billion people on ovo-lacto vegetarianism, I don’t know. What I know is it’s easier than selling even one billion on veganism.

If you mean can we literally maintain the supply chains the answer is obviously yes. We already produce enough food for everyone in a world where 6+ billion eat meat.
Very true. Also not useful for space battles. Or rhinoceros training.

Useful information.
Honestly that might be ok for class 10000 (ISO class 7). HEPA filters do good work! At my work we use gowns, hair nets, booties, the works. However, we also changed cleaning companies once and didn't realize they were no longer sweeping the floor for a few months until visible dust bunnies started appearing in corners. Addressed that quick but not before we ran a few tests, still in spec! We also have local controls (flow hoods) over particularly sensitive operations.

We have class 100 (ISO class 5) space that's a lot more stringent, but even that is less sensitive than you might expect. Our semicon customers have a bad habit of taking our carefully bagged product out in their uncontrolled warehouse to check the serial numbers, but I'm not aware of any issues that arose from this.

Things get a lot more interesting when you start working with DUV and EUV wavelengths, as now you care about more than dust. We're adding an advanced molecular contamination cleanroom (AMC) where we'll need to start restricting perfume, deodorant, and cigarette use.

Professionally, most of my work has been in mobile app development but I'm quite comfortable with backend and frontend web development. Outside of work I've published my own mobile apps as well as had some indie games published (C/ASM). Looking for development work in really any kind of area as long as it's interesting.

This is interesting but I wonder if it just moves the substrate from neuron spikes to that EM field, if it is involved in cognition. Additionally I don't think it would offer anything new in terms of explaining the hard problem of C.

I think it's premature to dismiss figuring out the neural code architecture, which has a lot of evidence it is the probable cause (mainly through brain damage and its correlations), but it's good they are looking elsewhere.

> Does the EDA ecosystem support a similarly open culture of benchmarking for commercial tools?

If only. The comparison in Cheng et al. is the only public comparison with CMP that I can recall, and it is pretty suss that this just so happens to be a very pro-commercial-autoplacer study. (And, Cheng et al. have cited 'licensing agreements' as a reason for not giving out the synthesized netlists necessary to reproduce their results.)

Reminded a bit of Oracle. They likewise used to (and maybe still?) prohibit any benchmarking of their database software against that of another provider. This seems to be a common move for solidifying a strong market position.
PCIe is great, yes.

Sadly with the rise of laptops with soldered-in-everything, and the popularity of android/iphone/tablet devices, I share some of layer8's worries about the future of the relatively open PC architecture and hardware ecosystem.

You were just wrong. They explicitly gave the understood options as 15 before or 15 after. These are the options everyone uses in English -- not 45 before or a quarter of the hour before. In English no one says quarter of 12 to mean 11:15. You just explained it completely different from the ways it is interpreted in English. I understand the logic and how it might come about. Maybe it's very common in German, but it is not used that way in English. If you referred to 11:15 in that way to a native English speaker you would be misinterpreted.

This was the day 25 problem: given a graph of ~1600 nodes and ~3500 edges, find the 3 edges that if deleted divide the graph into 2 components. I looked over some of the solutions and it surprised me how few used the simplest method: for each edge with endpoints u, v in the graph, delete it and then find another path P1 between u and v. Then, for each edge e1 in P1, delete it and then find another path P2 between u and v. Then, for each edge e2 in P2, delete it and then try to find another path between u and v. If there is no path, (u, v), e1, e2 is your cut-set. Otherwise, add e2 back and try the next edge in P2. When you've exhausted P2, add e1 back and try the next edge in P1. When you've exhausted P1, add (u, v) back and try the next edge in the graph. It's 3-6 loops deep depending on how you count, but it works. My python implementation completes in under 2 minutes, but it varies because it appears the standard python data structures have some nondeterminism, and I may have had a lucky draw with my puzzle input.
> Direct comparisons from the last 3 years show that AlphaChip is worse.

Do you have any evidence to claim this? The whole point of this thread is that the direct comparisons might have been insufficient, and even the author of "The Saga" article who's biased against the AlphaChip work agreed.

> Granted, Google is belittling these comparisons, but that's what you'd expect.

This kind of language doesn't help any position you want to advocate.

About "the potential to disrupt", a potential is a potential. It's an initial work. What I find interesting is that people are so eager to assert that it's a dead-end without sufficient exploration.
This is inaccurate because if you take the high end of the Falcon 9 per-launch emissions estimates discussed in this thread (about 28k metric tons equivalent of CO2) and divide by the payload size (about 17 metric tons) then each gram of matter lifted into space would be taking about 1.5 kilograms of CO2-equivalent emissions, which is a small amount instead of an enormous amount.

We’re extremely pleased with Talos. Much more secure than Azure (our cloud of choice, unfortunately) which run a full-blown Ubuntu underneath. We haven’t run into any issues with Talos and upgrading is super easy with the talosctl tool, both Kubernetes and Talos version.

We currently have a thanos instance in each cluster. We could move it to a separate cluster to reduce some overhead, but the current approach works. We’re ingesting about 60Gi per day of metrics into the S3 bucket, so we might have to optimise that.

One argument I've hard in favor of the split is this: If you are AMD/NVDA/other top player, do you want to send your IP to an Intel owned fab for production?

At least in theory, a fully independent, split/spun out standalone fab removes this concern.

That said - what does Intel have to offer the top players here? Their fabs are being state of the art. And what's the standalone value of post-spin fabless Intel if their chip designs are as behind as their fabs?

This certainly presents a conundrum for US policy since we need fabs domestically for national security reasons, but the domestically owned ones are behind.
> Imperceptible changes to urban planning to shave off a few miles of driving would have a bigger impact than doubling the lifetimes of mobile phones.

Urban planning too obviously cannot be pinned on consumer choices. Which is why it would never become the locus of attention.

I don’t know if you are right or wrong about this point. But nonetheless.
Yeah. Theadripper/Epyc is what I’m thinking of—it isn’t obvious (to me at least) if it was just a coincidence of the chiplet strategy or what, if so it is an odd coincidence. The company that makes both CPUs and GPUs has ended up with data center CPUs that are a great match for the era where we really want data center CPUs that can host a ton of GPUs, haha.
I agree wholeheartedly. I think the issue stems from 0 meaning both 0 of "something"/"a concept" and "nil."

Suppose (made up scenario) we can stop a million phones being discarded every week by mandating that camera modules have to be replaceable by third-parties.

We can drop that legislation tomorrow, basically no problem.

Are you gonna say, no we have to wait and do cars first because a car is equal in carbon to 20 phones (or whatever).

Cars are one of the large container targets, but it takes years to change urban environments, to build transportation infrastructure, to change building zones, etc., to prepare the way for people using alternative transport (or none). Unless you can win over your citizens (and politicians who are in lobbies pockets) for a grand plan like 'no more new cars from now on'.
Why is the term "card" used in "expansion card"?
> That’s not an issue for the filmmaker who sticks to online distribution, there are branches of well known payment processors in Addis Ababa.

Yes it is once they distribute to people online outside of Ethiopia.

The biggest advantage of the terse symbolic style for me comes when you wish to rapidly compare different ways (algorithms) to compute the same function. For instance, Kadane's Algorithm usually takes a dozen+ lines in an algoly language, which would normally be presented in some kind of syntax-coloured code block external to descriptive paragraphs; it takes a dozen- characters in an array language, and therefore variations can be included inline to text describing the alternatives.
How much carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere for a single rocket launch? How much labor and natural resources does it cost?

> As soon as the general public cares and forces the issues.

That is not how oligopoly and antitrust work. If producers don't actually make products that have the features available, there is no actual market for those products, and market pressure is the only means by which the general public has in order to force responsiveness.

The general public can never force the issue. Government granted subsidies, and regulation make this a captive market, where the costs are too deep for new market entrants, and only the people currently sitting at the table of each company will have a say; the same as happened during the time of robber barons.

There is a reason over the past 30 years business has become so concentrated, and that cycle will continue until it cannot.

Its not that no one cares about privacy. Its that no can do anything about it, they've been stripped of their agency because law wasn't enforced in a timely fashion, and elected representatives violated their oaths by largely ceding authority to their political party, and failing to be responsive to their constituents and slow moving crises. In other words, failing to act as a whole (paralysis).

This shows a broader issue that unfortunately follows the same failure modes as what happened with the Roman Republic.

Here is a side-by-side lineup.

You have two caste groups, the haves and the have nots (patrician's and plebeians),the middle class largely is gone now. Growing economic inequality (through money-printing as opposed to expansion), land reform issues (farmers losing their farms and being unable to economically compete as a function of government regulation/subsidy), corruption (at all levels), the erosion of separation of powers (stacking courts, kingmaking via superpac), infighting among the house of representatives and senate (political parties that abstain or veto solely on party lines); create political paralysis, and for roughly the past 70 years there has been groups made up of government and private business funded indirectly by government, seeking empire (through debt/money-printing), where they do so largely through private armies. The latter most was written about by Perkins in his Economic Hitman series.

The dynamics and their comparisons are striking.
Is this based on cost per Watt without the expenses related to keeping the grid perfectly synchronized or not?

A significant and stable base load is important and it has shown that wind/solar makes it substantially more expensive to keep the grid stabilized, which is of course a no brainer if you don't want a blackout.
Better compression schemes for GeoTIFFs is great and all - I'm not going to complain about that; however, I'd like to add a little more context from a data engineering perspective especially for data in transit.

As we all know, the best way to speed up some processes is by avoiding the step entirely, and as much as better compression schemes for GeoTIFFs shrink transport sizes, avoiding transfer of rasters reduces the cost to zero. Internally tiled GeoTIFFs (Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs[1] in particular) allow portions of GeoTIFFs to be read using range reads instead. This can dramatically reduce transfer costs when only sections of the raster are required and pair well when used with vector data for look ups. In the specific case used by the author, omitting water-only tiles would potentially cut transfer costs by half.

Additionally, if using multi-spectral imagery, band re-ordering can be an important subsequent optimization if certain indices are known in advance to be used dis-proportionally more. There's a lot of fun to be had in optimizing the heck out of imagery data and this barely scratches the surface.

Compilation on the GPU? A Feasibility Study (2022)
The CEO of a public company is a glorified cheerleader. Doing the right things is half the job, convincing people you are doing the right things is the other half. Considering Intel's share price dropped 61% under Gelsinger's tenure, no matter the work he did towards the first half, it's pretty clear he thoroughly failed at the second. They desperately need someone who will drive back investor confidence in the company, and fast.
This is.. not true. A lot of hardware change is involved in modern mobile device security. Apple has come a long way from the iPhone 7 in hardware security and no amount of patching software is going to introduce a new cryptographic coprocessor.

We can definitely group them, but if we want to pretend they are the same phylum, that will be a move going against the consensual meaning of the term in biology, which clearly distinguish analogous structures and homologous structures.

At this point, it’s clear that yes we can say whatever fantasy we want, but that is not going to instantly override the precise preponderant meaning it has gained in the community most interested and knowledgeable in the topic.

All that said, I’m not a biologist, and given the honesty I show with such a disclaimer, you know you can blindly trust me on all the topics I’m barely conscious about, right? So trust me xenomorphs are actually adorable cute cuddly pets. Don’t believe all you see in your nightmarish block busters.

If Prisma had focused on a single database (probably Postgres) or a single paradigm (probably SQL) it would have been a better product.

They have to abstract multiple db paradigms into an API that works for many use cases but doesn't get you all the way there. Eg: Last time I checked they didn't support listen/notify on Postgres.

Also overall performance has been lacking which I suspect is also a symptom of trying to support too many dbs. They recently released v6 and made claims of performance improvements but afaik offer no data to back up these claims [1]. It's all very "trust me bro it's faster".

Drizzle still hasn't reached 1.0 but they created a much better ORM in a fraction of the time (and probably budget).
