I agree, that's why I very much doubt that they're really accidents. Isn't the captain responsible for the ship regardless of what they intended or what they personally knew?
Alternatively the real lesson here is to put less effort into coding and engineering and more into organization. Small groups that handle entire business verticals are the future. Modern tools and machine learning can enable small groups to outperform big organizations without the wretched chaos that leads to ruthless and unfeeling reorgs and pivots. And clients large and small often prefer dealing with small and focused groups more than large and hard to handle giants that currently dominate markets.

This reads like jibberish.

C functions can't be vectorized? WTF are you talking about? You can certainly pass vector registers to functions.

Exp can also be vectorized, AVX512 even includes specific instructions to make it easier.( there is no direct exp instruction on most hardware,it is generally a sequence of instructions)
From what I understand, this core tries to ourperform the A75 in IPC whilst using less area. However, the P550 cores run at a lower frequency (1.4GHz) than the A75 (2GHz). I wonder if this optimization for area, like in Zen4c, makes it impossible to drive the core at a high frequency, hindering its maximum performance. Nonetheless, it's a great RISC-V core, especially when compared to what brands like SpaceMit and Alibaba T-Head offer.

So you say - however, it makes a lot of Proton users know they made the right choice by choosing Proton and paying for visionary service.
This would be an excellent explanation if DeepSeek had announced its model over the last weekend rather than weeks ago, and if R1 wasn't a COT reasoning model which needs a lot more inference time compute than other SOTA models like llama.
Damn right! I was actually surprised to learn there is no such thing yet; I'd expect some space agency would be hosting some frontend to a database collectively maintained by various space agencies and adjacent organizations.

Nevertheless, great to see they're working on it now!

Calling out internal mobility (and normalized support for taking advantage of it!) as a key corporate culture value.

I've worked for companies that make this hard/toxic/impossible and companies that make this easier/normal.

The latter are always better, healthier companies.
I am not a shipping lawyer, but, assuming this happened in international waters, my guess is that there is probably already some set-in-stone maritime law in place that covers scenarios like this, and one that probably isn't modifiable by mere national governments. This is complete speculation though.
Yeah I was considering all issues rather than just anchor. Another source [1] gives 100-200 incidents per year with 16% as anchorage, so 25 a year (from anchors alone) is probably a safe estimate.

I think most of us thought these incidents were exceptionally rare, so a recurring pattern of incidents itself would be suggestive of nefarious behavior. 'Oddly' enough the frequency datum was omitted from seemingly every single article on this topic.

If you want to take photos, bring a good quality video camera, preferably with optical image stabilization. It’s much harder for disinformationists to deny or reframe a long, uncut video.
Good point: I still cannot use CoPilot. I frequently try to figure out if MS365 Business accounts in the US have copilot yet. I used it for my family account and dont see any availability to use Copilot in that software either.

So far this launch has not worked out right.

While true, they might not recommend you anyhow. I thought I got along well with my co-workers, and I consistently got feedback at year end that they enjoyed working with me, but when I was laid off and asked them for a recommendation on Linked In, only the most junior of them did it. Even after I left all of them great reviews there.

I am still surprised by this. They didn't get laid off. Just me.

I'm not angry at them, just very confused about their reasons not to leave me a good review to help me get a new job.
I'm sorry, but you are building on a false premise. If you goal is to lure children unmotivated to learn programming you'd better be distributing sweets. Or (if you ask a Far Eastern, or Eastern European mom) threaten those brats with punishments. Replacing "for" for "voor" is not even a barrier removal as much as you seem to believe. Because "for" in programming has a separate meaning, and you'll spent the same amount of time explaining how it works whether it "for", or "voor". Except that programming-for can be useful for farther studies, and programming-voor is much less so. I answered here in a longer comment if you are interested:

I admit I slipped into the octogon of HN where animals weak and strong come to test their teeth on impulse. Therefore I must be prepared to write essays on semantics even when I use subtle indicators such as quotes.

For the first portion of your reply, I think that if TB became resistant to potatoes with licorice icecream, it would be preferable to having absolutely no recourse with antibiotics. But that's silly. If you are 100% certain that latent TB is innocuous and can't be reactivated, I must admit my logic was flawed.

Edit: is not, eg mrsa, becoming resistant to various things in the environment? Biofilms make many bacteria resistant to even alcohol. Staph, ubiquitous and thus exposed to pretty much anything a person's skin is exposed to is probably resistant to many things it previously wasn't. But it remains vulnerable to a few antibiotics, for now.
Props to anyone who tries to make the world a better place.

Its not always obvious who has the most important use cases. In the case of NPM they are prioritizing the user experience of module authors. I totally see how this change would be great for module consumers, yet create potentially massive inconvenience for module authors.

Interesting write-up
Excellent post!

Controlled impedance took me a long time to wrap my head around when starting PCB design, the moment when it finally clicked was watching this excellent AlphaPhoenix video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AXv49dDQJw& asking and practically demonstrating the simple question:

When you flip on a switch, to turn on anything, send data, morse something etc, how does the circuit know how much current the load at the other end needs?

Spoiler: Given that information can't travel faster than light, the simple answer is: it doesn't. So it just guesses and adjusts, which you don't want as it gives you exactly the ringing etc Heaviside identified. The video is a nice complement, as it perfectly visualizes the issues at play.

It's a pretty wild bit of understanding to have, even in simple situations like flipping on a light switch.
i think the article is confused. i write quite a bit of SIMD code for HPC and c is my goto for low level computing because of the low level memory allocation in c. In fact that tends to be the lion share of work to implement simd operations where memory isn't the bottleneck. if only it were as simple as calling vfmadd132ps on two datatypes.
Other comments cover it as well, but generally, you'll see categories like (none are hard and fast, there's overlap, etc)...

- portraits = posed photos with a person as subject
- snapshots / candids = what you describe as "live" photos
- street = snapshots, but of random people moving about their lives (much of photojournalism falls into this category, where the photographer is doing street photography at an event)
- landscapes = photos of the world, where people are not the primary subject, often wider angle
- wildlife = photos of animals, often with a very long telephoto lens
- macro = "super zoomed in" / close up (technically where the subject is equal or larger than the sensor on the camera)
FATCA makes Americans pariahs at foreign banks. I would love to store cash outside US jurisdiction but it is a compliance nightmare usually only worth it for high net worth clients. We know better systems exist, we just often can't use them even when we live overseas.

Crypto is the last offshore banking for the middle class. It essentially took over right when FATF eliminated banking privacy and bearer shares -- which IMO is no mere coincidence.

When you start mentioning aging populations you trip over a fact that is nothing to do with our model. Short of tossing our aging population out onto the street we cannot do much more than increase immigration - something those old people don't like.

So this could be a debate about something completely other than the social model and it's so complicated that it's hard to have any sensible argument about it.
and one likely reason the boards weren’t there was (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V#Design):

“As of June 2019, version 2.2 of the user-space ISA[46] and version 1.11 of the privileged ISA[3] are frozen, permitting software and hardware development to proceed. The user-space ISA, now renamed the Unprivileged ISA, was updated, ratified and frozen as version 20191213”

So, it’s more like 5 years old, compared to ≈40 for 32-bit x86, ≈20 for 64-bit x86.
"climbing up ladders and acquiring power"

He urgently came to the previous administration along with a committee, presenting a plan for the construction of Nuclear Power Plants, focused on serving datacenters for AI, with the excuse that, if the US don't do this, China will do, and he or his team not even consulted the IAEA for this topic.

He might have a point but, still looks like the Salesperson of a Insurance company. The idea is not absurd, but the approach and the speech, seems quite cheap.

I see nothing on his talks that are genuine about solving crucial problems of the humanity...

Clear to me that he's very into keeping the costumer (investors) satisfied.
Yes, it's a huge success for China. Many of my friends are using LLMs more than the internet now, the CCP can rewrite history and push their totalitarian propaganda easily.

The silver lining is that the R1 paper is the most detailed LLM sota paper since 2019, and western labs will reproduce it soon.

Conversely, budgets are based on estimates and forecast of resources needed. It's not like a manager gets a random number out of the blue and then needs to find ways to spend it. Budgets in engineering, especially software dev., are mostly based on number of people (aka 'resources') needed in the team, so a manager will want to fill their headcount otherwise it means they don't actually need this number of people.
The DNS data is super useful for developing a demographic profile.

> how would you prevent everyone from getting expensive schooling and then immediately declaring bankruptcy

If the expensive schooling works, then the person should be able to get a nice, well paying job and pay off the loan over the next 20 years. Many of the differal programs (i.e. "putting the loan on hold") programs and policies would prevent this. It's when the clock runs out, and the student can't get the high-paying job that we have issues...
An alternative view on the two practice approaches (or go-arounds?) is that he still made a shallow approach over the fantail.

The lack of communications means that the pilot could not be warned of the specific difficulties and dangers of landing on a moving aircraft carrier, over and above the ordinary difficulties of a short-field landing of the sort every pilot is supposed to be proficient in. In that circumstance, my guess is that minimizing the novel dangers would be the way to go, but, as you say, we are all just guessing here.
> It surprises me that there are not some very basic checks done on new objects against other databases.

Hopefully it will be now. Maybe, like with many human endeavors, it kind of fell through the cracks, with everyone independently thinking it's someone else's responsibility and not communicating, until some journalist found out and forced everyone to communicate about it.
> you want to telegraph the message that employees are fungible and you don't really care about people.

From my experience, that’s exactly what is going on.

HR was obsessed (and that’s not hyperbole) with constantly telling us that we could be ejected, at any time.

I suspect that it had something to do with legal stuff. Our HR was run by lawyers.
LLMs give you a lot of false confidence, just because something looks right doesn't mean it is.

Especially with cryptography you should NEVER use LLMs. Read the docs, write down some notes, and make sure you properly understand everything before you use it. You need to really think it through before you end up leaking user data or worse.
Bitcoin is useful commodity, it's used for money laundering, sanction dodging, various criminal activity, etc. It infinitely more useful in modern world than gold for example.

There's still a question of what you consider profitable.

A company may make more in revenue than strictly expenses but stock-based compensation is often not considered an expense so if you add those into the expense side it could change profitability.
- an employee is an "expense" that bogs down your money-machine.

- a contractor provides a "service" that improves your money-machine output.

You should definitely check out Tropy: https://tropy.org/

It's open-source, so no worries about a company shutting it down, and it handles a lot of the stuff you're asking for. It’s designed for organizing and managing research photos, but it has features that fit archival needs pretty well.

Open and future-proof: Metadata is stored in JSON-LD, so even if Tropy disappears, your data isn’t locked up. It doesn’t modify your files either, so your originals are safe.

Flexible metadata: You can assign custom dates (even imprecise ones like "circa 1920" or a date range) and add other metadata fields to fit your needs. It’s not tied to EXIF or file timestamps, which is a big plus.

Related files: Tropy lets you group multiple images (e.g., front and back of a photo or parts of a large scanned image) into a single "item." Relationships are preserved, and you can see them all in the same context.

Search and organization: It’s way better than just dumping files into a folder. You get tags, categories, and a solid search interface to make your archive usable.
Ironically it probably helped AI since the previously slurped up forum data is then only available when regurgitated from one of the models that was trained on it before it was taken down.

I agree with the “it’s a business relationship and not family” part, but not with the identity part. Something you spend ~40% of your awake time with is certainly part of one’s identity, and for good mental health should be something one enjoys.

IDK but space aliens or future humanity would be really confused to find a human corpse in the trunk and an empty vac suit in the driver's seat... It's, like, what's the story here?
Several comments seem confused about this point: the article is not about manual SIMD, which of course C is perfectly capable of with intrinsics. It's discussing problems in compiling architecture-independent code to SIMD instructions, which in practice C compilers very often fail to do (so, exp having scalar hardware support may force other arithmetic not to be vectorized). An alternative mentioned is array programming, where operations are run one at a time on all the data; these languages serve as a proof of concept that useful programs can be run in a way that uses SIMD nearly all the time it's applicable, but at the cost of having to write every intermediate result to memory. So the hope is that "more fluent methods for compilation" can generate SIMD code without losing the advantages of scalar compilation.

As an array implementer I've thought about the issue a lot and have been meaning to write a full page on it. For now I have some comments at https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/implementation/versusc.html#... and the last paragraph of https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/implementation/compile/intro....

Every few years I get the urge to dive into smalltalk/squeak/cuis/<insert smalltalk variant here> and while it suffers from being pretty heavily stuck in an era and a small community it always feels like a window into what could have been if operating systems in general and unix in particular didn’t stop at CLIs with a window manager tacked on top. In fact having recently revisited some old classic Mac things, it’s sort of interesting to note how despite how nice it is that osx has Unix underneath and windows has the WSL it also means we’re converging on a design with a lot of old baggage.

This same point is made in threads discussing how wayland protocol is 16 years "old". I think it's different if the system starts out as a research project rather than a commercial project, because the time until a usable implementation is much greater. For example, I would say that riscv is "newer" than loongISA/loongarch despite being slightly older in a literal sense.

If you look at an arch like x86 or ARM it was designed right before chips were released, and then extended over time. The same goes for the X protocol, it simply extended previous versions.

If you are designing something from the ground up to avoid the inherent problems of an existing system, it is reasonable to take time and research design problems to make sure you don't recreate the same issues (which would defeat the point of the redesign). It doesn't compete on the same time-frame as an extension of an existing system.
Maybe, but if you touch type and click at the same time, they’re faster.
