I must be missing something from your comment. Afaik, the cpu caches are memory buffers to avoid reading from memory if at all possible. It's not the same as cpu registers. Some memory barriers like synchronized and other levels described in details with java 9 varhandles, must be doing tests for safety, but a context switch doesn't seem like a prescription to invalidate all cache lines.

I admit I don't know everything about cpu architecture, but it would be overkill to do so. Imagine 2 threads minding their own business in distinct few kB areas of memory and those areas both fitting in the couple MB cache. Why would any cache line be invalidated? Unless there is a write, by another core, the cache line stays valid, afaik.

So back to the question, I would think it is possible for the JVM to record in the VT the core of the carrier who last ran the VT, and pay attention this when later scheduling a VT on a carrier that already has affinity to the same core. Doesn't seem far fetch, but I can imagine the sudden increase in VT scheduling complexity when facing 24 cores with their list of carriers (although typically 1 carrier per core is allocated initially).

Perhaps the upcoming years will do that.

Making the browser itself paid would instantly doom them to irrelevance. It's already bad enough trying to make developers care about a browser with 2% marketshare, it will be impossible to do so if their marketshare drops to 0.1%, which it will if you make it paid.

That strategy only works for browsers that are basically just thin wrappers around Chrome or Webkit, with basically no development cost for the core browser tech and low divergence from those platforms. It's not going to sustain a fully independent browser stack.

Yeah there needs to be a common format for all of the headsets to adopt or at least apple needs to provide an easy way to convert into their format (maybe they already do in final cut pro).

IMO vision pro is like the first iPhone/iPad and in a few years if they keep refining it there will be a larger adoption.

I think the main thing is that it should support full mac os apps without tethering to an external macbook/mac mini. They need to move the compute out of the headset itself and into the battery module. Apple probably would never do this, but imagine if you bought a mac mini sized compute module that could go on an external display or connect to a vision pro device. If the compute was separate the headset would be significantly lighter and more comfortable.
GP definitely did not say he thinks having people in the local community afford college is a bad thing. That's quite a straw man. Their point about the money quickly leaving the local economy is valid. If the shop owner is making a reasonable wage at the end of the day, then I think the local effect is good. Doubly so if they employ people from the local area. However, if the shop owner is getting rich and most of those profits are going into a fat bank account, then it makes no difference to the local economy. If helping the local economy is really your goal, I think there are much more efficient ways.

That said, I do mostly agree with you. Where we might differ is that I don't accept paying significant markup to shop local. If an item I want is available locally and is close to the same price as online, I will go local every time for exactly the reasons you mention: to help the local economy. But I have a low tolerance for The outrageous markup that most Small shops insist on applying. In my opinion, those shops probably should go out of business by being non-competitive. That would open up some room for a less greedy retailer to come and be more of a service to the local community.

> The data lines weren't used for charging until fairly recently.

Several proprietary protocols (like Quick Charge) used the data lines to negotiate the power and voltage, then USB Battery Charging standardized a way to indicate being a charger through the data lines, and that was all before USB-C. So unless you were satisfied with very slow charging, the data lines were always necessary.
I have in mind a friend who on first contact, comes off as somewhat superficial and business-brained, b/c he's always hitting people up for lunches, or calls, and likes to talk about jobs.

The thing is, he does that all the time. Employed, unemployed, rain, shine. And he doesn't just like to talk about (or look for) opportunities for him, but for everyone else, too. So over time, you realize that's just how he is/what he does, and it comes across as completely natural.

He's one of my best friends, honestly.

The important thing about matrices is their linear properties. Most proofs in linear algebra over real vector spaces don't rely on the particularities of the real number system, just the fact that it is a field [0].

To make an analogy with programming, you can think of a matrix as a generic container type. Normally, we think of the contained type as being the real numbers, but you could replace it with anything that supports the multiplication and addition operations -- that implements the "field interface/trait/typeclass". [1]

So you can define linear algebra over any field: the real numbers of course, but also the rational numbers, or the complex numbers. Fields can also be finite. In particular, the integers modulo n is a field if n is prime. My suggestion is to consider the case n=2. [2]

It's a bit hard to get geometric intuition about what matrices on finite fields even mean, but a lot of theorems we can prove in the real case generalize, because they depend only on the field properties of the reals. That's why I suggested it -- it would make things like inverting straightforward. And that natural relationship between linear subspaces and holding certain bits constant might make search possible.

The issue (which others pointed out) is that linearity imposes so much structure that it might not seem pseudo-random anymore. But you could consider something like XORing all numbers with a randomly generated bit string -- it won't hold up if someone looks closely but might fool the cursory human eye.

[1] The analogy breaks down slightly because not only must the operations be defined, but they must also obey laws, which can't be expressed in (most) programming language type systems. But if you've used Haskell before, you'll have seen this before in the fact that a Monad has to obey the Monad laws.

The GP's point is more general and stands. Technologists inevitably start off "in the middle" of a stack of technologies, and then choose to dig down and/or build up from there. It is inevitable that newcomers will not understand the technologies upon which their current work rests. A certain fraction of those will become fascinated and drawn to understand the underpinnings of their work, for an edge, or for the love of it, or both.

This process happens more naturally over time if you grow with the technology. For example, if you started programming with HTML in 1995 you not only have ~30 years of experience, but you've also seen the changes as they occurred, and have a great deal of context about the how and why each of them happened. That kind of experience can only happen in real-time, unless some kind soul is willing to write a manual to help newcomers speed-run it. Such a manual is often called a "textbook".

Many (most?) don't raise issues because they've been conditioned that things won't get fixed.

I'm with you that overdone JS isn't necessary; and we should also consider user-silence to issues to bloat, slowness and jank.
You absolutely can, but it's way more common to only know how to create a blank site with a framework than to migrate an existing site. React used to have a section in its documentation for how to add it to your site without adding a build system (not common knowledge, unless it's setting up a blank site through a script) and they've since replaced it with a brief tutorial telling you to migrate your website to a JS module with a link to a suggested build system.

All of this matters because the person that has to do this setup might not be you. It's certainly a problem with the frameworks themselves that porting a website (even just to add a little functionality) isn't as easy as setting one up initially but there's not really much an individual can do here. It's one reason I like frameworks like Preact so much, they're actually trying to fix this.

To an extent. But it's also important to realise that a lot of mechanisms that work in other markets don't work in the healthcare market.

If I'm unconscious after a car accident, I can't get quotes from competing ambulance firms or negotiate prices.

If I'm in hospital and they say I need surgery, they can't guarantee my insurance will cover the full costs - or tell me what it'll cost me should my insurance not pay.

In any other market, we'd call people agreeing to services they didn't know the prices of fools, and people billing for services customers hadn't asked for scammers. But due to the unique nature of the healthcare industry, such things are normal.
I think you're probably right on a lot of this.

I do think the pace having more granularity than five seconds is important for anyone who's doing any kind of speed work, where a pace off by 5 seconds can result in a fairly significant variance. Admittedly I am not a total novice, but my 5k and 10k pace times are about 10 seconds apart, and I do some interval workouts at 5k pace and some at 10k pace. 5 second granularity doesn't give much wiggle room there! Although of course, GPS and cadence-based paces are also estimates, so maybe the 5 second accuracy is better than 1 second which could inpsire a false sense of confidence in the estimate.

As far as Vo2Max goes, totally agree – my lab test results vary widely from both watches. However, I think that actually makes Apple's 1 decimal place more significant – it has a lot of value in offering a fitness trend, even if it's inaccurate. I might train hard for 3 weeks and see 0 movement in my Garmin Vo2Max, whereas I might see a 0.3 increase in the Apple Watch. This is valuable for even the novice runner.
What if they pursued a freemium model, other browsers like Orion do that.

Which is a shame because I'm pretty convinced that slowing down and having time to do those reviews is net-good in the (not-very-)long run. Much of the space (and bugs) in even a very well run large project are from accumulating gaps until nobody knows how things truly work - it takes time to eliminate them and end up in a simpler, smaller, more sustainable state.
The simulation/rendering is actually pretty fast since it's all done by heavily optimized gpu-based physics and graphics engines. The "generative" part is that they have some LLM stuff that's finetuned for generating configurations/parameters for the physics engine conditioned on some text. Ie, the physics and graphics are classical clockworky simulations, with a generative frontend to make it easier (but less precise) to get a world up and running. The open source release currently provides the clockworky simulator stuff, with the generative frontend to be released some time in the future.
Brilliant.

The artist's website[a] described the program perfectly using the soul-crushing jargon of corporate bureaucracy:

> Our program is a professional service to the financial industry; rats are being trained to become superior traders in the financial markets. Using our own methodology in accordance with well-established animal training techniques, our subjects learn to recognize pattens in historical stock and futures data as well as generating trading signals. We provide solutions for tick based trading data and day based data. RATTRADERS rats can be trained exclusively for any financial market segment. They outperform most human traders and represent a much more economic solution for your trading desk.

Left unsaid is that many human traders are subjected to similar Pavlovian "training" -- and are treated with about as much kindness and dignity as those rats.

I have no links handy, but practically every report by NHK and other outlets all come to the same conclusion that medical workers are leaving the industry and newcomers (medical students) aren't coming in because the pay is too low for the intense workload required compared to almost every other industry (and the shortage leads to doctors putting in even more hours, causing a negative feedback loop).

The low pay in turn has been linked to hospitals running on essentially zero margin, so they can't pay more even if they wanted to. That in turn has been linked to Japan's national healthcare insurance system and other government mandates, with arguments everyone here has probably heard enough already.

I don't even want to respond because the "we" and "as always" here is doing a lot. I don't have it in me to have an extended discussion to address how indiscriminately killing civilians was never accepted practice in modern warfare. Anyways.

There are two conditions in which I see this argument(?) is useful. If you assume their goal is indiscriminately killing civilians and ML helps them, or if you assume that their ML tools cause less precise targeting of militants that causes more civilians being dead contrary to intent. Which one is it? Cards on the table.

I had a junior dev try to correct me when I used "framework" and "API" outside of a web context.

It caught me off guard at first, but the more I've thought about it, it seems inevitable as time goes on. The more abstractions we build, the more unreasonable it becomes to expect every developer to start with "bare metal" and work their way up. Schools are forced to teach with "the other side" (i.e. the highest-level abstractions) as the benchmark for graduating, because that's what employers need. So at some point they have to cut some of the more esoteric CS fundamentals and concepts to make room.

Is working on things that would be useful. The early adopters of modules have reported some very intriguing results - it isn't ready for me to try yet, but so far what the standard committee has done looks like it will be a win for me in 5 more years when I finally can adopt it. Reflection and contracts are two other things coming that have some intriguing uses in the real world and I'm hopeful to see how/if they work out.

This maybe so, however you likely don't have first-hand experience with early, unstructured versions of basic to which Dijkstra was referring to in his quote. These early versions lacked control structures such as loops or even if-then-else functions. Later versions of basic evolved to support modularity, OOP, local variables and everything else. Dijkstra tended towards hyperbole and exaggeration IMHO.
