This has nothing to do with performance or hardware CPU development.

FPGA-specific soft cores like VexRiscv and NaxRiscv are immensely useful for anything involving state machine logic or glue code that you do not want to implement in-fabric.

Peripherals like on-chip MMCMs/PLLs, on-board I2C and SPI peripherals, etc. with complicated initialization routines or communication flows or sequencing are very easily handled in a soft CPU.

Soft CPUs can also be used like high-powered programmable in-circuit logic analyzers: without rebuilding a potentially massive FPGA bitstream, you can probe/observe/inspect, inject/alter any signals or buses you pipe to the CPU. VexRiscv is far more pleasant to use than any vendor ILA IP.

Soft CPUs also normally utilize FPGA LUTRAM/BRAM resources, enabling whatever program to run with hard real-time latency consistency.
You can host your own instance on a single server with Fedi, but need 3+ separate ones to host your own on AT protocol and it’s more complex.
It does for higher priced items.
Yet another example that I've dealt with from the outside: as part of regulated community, I must submit some trade secrets to the government for regulatory purposes. Those trade secrets are legally required to be kept secret by the government from disclosure. This regime allows the government to inspect things that involve trade secrets, and me from those trade secrets being disclosed to competitors.
CIA Now Favors Lab Leak Theory on Origins of Covid-19
With ZWJ (Zero Width Joiner) sequences you could in theory encode an unlimited amount of data in a single emoji.

Particularly interesting are the "family" emojis, made by joining any number of person-type emoji with ZWJ characters. So in theory, a family made of thousands of men, women, girls, boys, etc... would be a valid emoji.

For example, I estimate that my own emotional support network quadrupled from about 1-2 before the age of 30 to 5-8 after the age of 40.
The US is underpoliced per capita
Demon Adam didn’t become standard largely for the same reason many “better” optimizers never see wide adoption: it’s a newer tweak, not clearly superior on every problem, is less familiar to most engineers, and isn’t always bundled in major frameworks. By contrast, AdamW is now the “safe default” that nearly everyone supports and knows how to tune, so teams stick with it unless they have a strong reason not to.

Edit: Demon involves decaying the momentum parameter over time, which introduces a new schedule or formula for how momentum should be reduced during training. That can feel like additional complexity or a potential hyperparameter rabbit hole. Teams trying to ship products quickly often avoid adding new hyperparameters unless the gains are decisive.
When people think classified, they think UFOs and Assassinations. But something as simple as which agencies and agents are investigating which issues, companies and people, can be unclassified, effectively giving private interests opportunities to shut things down.

Hello everyone, disappointed that Open Lens has become closed source, I and other enthusiasts are trying to continue its open source project with Freelens.

We hope this will help others who like us used Open Lens as a graphical IDE to work with Kubernetes, continuing to give the community the opportunity to develop it by directly contributing to its realization as an open source project.

What do you think? Any feedback or contribution is welcome! Thanks!

Thats a really wide range too.

By 90 it is increasingly likely your spouse and close friends are mostly dead.

My emotional support network consists of two people, my long-term partner and my parent(s). My long term partner loves me conditionally (and don’t let anyone fool you into thinking that this is abnormal).

Only your parents might love you unconditionally, and they have a pretty decent head start with their mortality.

Your taking the joke seriously is the entire joke. Sort of like people getting into conniptions over the name DOGE. That's the point of naming it DOGE: to prompt that reaction.
A trajectory observation: People from the US and maybe Europe seem love having all kinds of niche forums, like PhysicsForum. On the contrary, Chinese people seemed love having a centralized place. Case in point, Zhihu(zhihu.com) was a clone of Quora, yet now Zhihu is the largest site for finding deep discussion of practically everything, maths, machine learning, history, physics, engineering, general science, just name a few. Tons of researchers and experts and hobbyists are there to share their insights. In contrasts, the quality of Quora seems have been deteriorating over the years, and most of the experts are in all kinds of niche forums anyway.

I wonder why there is such a difference.
This is why there’s the joke that the miracle wasn’t Christ rising from the dead, it was having 12 close personal friends in his 30s.

Its not that simple. The UK experts a lot of manufactured goods to exactly those sorts of countries, and imports a lot from the EU and the US.

What you say is true of cheap consumer goods, but remember everything else. Even with some consumer goods, its pretty even - the UK exports cars about as much as it imports (by value, not numbers though). https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/uk-trade-in-numbers...

Its other big goods exports are things that are not that visible to consumers.

When I put all the population estimates into a spreadsheet the last time it came up, the number of person-years lived can be roughly divided into thirds, one third from the dawn of anatomically modern humans to the beginning of agriculture, one third from the beginning of agriculture to 1600, and the remaining third from 1600 to today. By current estimates, well acquire an equal slice of lived experience between now and 2100.

You're not really wrong, and what you're talking about is not really related to language choice.

What its related to is the narrative you shared in your second paragraph, which I think you were writing mostly for color, perhaps seeming to you as the only or necessary story of how software gets made.

"And then", "And then", "And then"... "One feature at a time, you just keep stacking more and more on."

There's no foresight. There's no planning. There's no architecture. There's no readiness. There's no preparation. Tomorrow's needs are always beyond the horizon and today's are to be approached strictly on their own terms.

If you've taught software development to anyone, you're used to seeing this behavior. Your student doesn't know what they don't know (because you haven't taught them yet), and they're overwhelmed by it, so they just scramble together whatever they can to make it past the next most immediate hurdle.

Much (not all) of the industry has basically enshrined that as the way for whole teams and organizations to work now, valorizing it as an expression of agility, nimbleness, and efficiency, and humility.

But it inevitably results in code and modules and programs and services and systems where nothing fully snaps together and operational efficiency is lost at every interface, and implementations for new features/challenges need to get awkwardly jammed in as new code rather than elegantly fleshed out as prefigured opportunities.

So you're right that most modern projects eventually just become swamped by these inefficiencies, with no ripe ways to resolve them. But it's not because of Rails vs Go or something, it's because pretty much everyone now aspires to build cathedrals without committing to any plans for them ahead of time.

What they gain for that is some comfort against FOMO, because they'll never face yesterday's plan conflicting with tomorrow's opportunity (since there is no plan). But they lose a lot too, as you call out very well here.
You guys are getting emotional support???
So they’ll have access to everything we should already have access to. What’s the problem, then?

Considering the government uses classification far too flippantly as it is, they still won’t have access to much.
I've had a lot of experiences like this, and I wound up ducking out of the industry entirely in 2021 after having had my skillset reduced to dogmatic use of the infrastructure buzzword of the day.

Unlike men, women tend seek out emotional support networks as a matter of course. There's probably some reduction as they age, but it's probably from like, the entire glee club to their husband, kids, five or six girls they keep up with from high school and the neighbor lady. A particularly gregarious woman like my wife can grow her support network. This is definitely an area meriting more research.

>30 years ago in London, you'd of said the same thing about places like Hackney...[and] today it houses some of the most desired and valuable real estate

are you saying that gentrification of Hackney did not simply entail wealthier people moving in and displacing the local population, but rather soaring incomes for the people who lived there?
That so bleak.
Those are transfer sizes, not sizes of the data at rest. Even transferred, the `srcset` for this image I picked at random includes a 178KB version; there's certainly a higher quality version stored, if not the original upload, something closer to it.

Oh, that explains it.

I was sitting here wondering how anyone has only two to begin with.
One could argue that the money flowing into Hackney was largely from the London media/finance elite who probably were made 2X more productive by IT and City deregulation. The result was Hackney's gentrification.

But gentrification, is not the same as a community leveling up. The former provides an influx of new residents with money to spend in the community. The latter creates new opportunities for the existing residents within the community.
> This research was limited by its all-male, predominantly White sample and its reliance on self-reported data. Additionally, the quality of emotional support and its impacts on well-being were not assessed.

So: we don’t know if it’s just men, we don’t know if it’s true for all ethnicities or just white men, it’s a reduction from two to one, I don’t mean to be dismissive, but someone got funding for this?
When people succeed over a number of decades in widely varying domains, you should presume them to be quite intelligent, no matter how much you may dislike them.
That’s on the low end of estimates.

For comparison there’s still 300,000 Wild West African Gorilla today and they’re extremely restricted in range, share that range with modern humans, etc.

Human populations in prehistory were believed to average somewhere in the 1-15 million range which puts 10B at the very low end estimate with 100+ billion being considered plausible. There was at least one major bottleneck but humans predate the last ice age.

PS: Calling anything history before we have any surviving text to work with is also a stretch.
Even for business accounts. I have a "business" account, opened for some contract work I did years ago, it has very little activity, but I pay no fees and have a debit card. I keep it open "just in case I need it" because it doesn't cost me anything.
Not necessarily. Unless I am misunderstanding what specifically is being referred to as a tram. In Portland, Oregon for example, we have small trains that run at street level and share lanes with automobile traffic.
That makes a lot of sense, thank you! Extending out to other operations and not just event handlers/workflows would be neat.

In towns with trams I've found Ubers almost always faster. That said, most American trams are at grade, so you get a bus that can't change lanes.

Why do you think GOP voters didn't realize Trump was corrupt? Obviously they knew and voted for him anyway. The question is, why? Why did they abandon all common sense and good sense?

Memorizing the tile layouts is too much for me haha (imo against the spirit of the game). I usually play online now anyway so I hope they don't follow those same patterns as the physical version.
I've been confused over this.

I've seen a $5.5M # for training, and commensurate commentary along the lines of what you said, but it elides the cost of the base model AFAICT.
OK, let it be not outsourcing to places with lower cost of labor, but to machines. There are whole factories that are operated by half-dozen people who mostly oversee its interaction with other human-run systems, such as trucks.

It will still keep most population away from industrial production. Same thing happened is agriculture a century ago, when machines made 90% of agricultural workers redundant, and huge farms are run by half-dozen people.

(Wait until AI will make a ton of service workers redundant.)
Having actually talked to people who have filed FoIA requests, it’s actually near impossible to get things from the government if they don’t want to share it with you.

First the requests have to be narrow and specific. You can’t just be “give me everything you have on xyz”. Then they can very much drag on the process forever by going back and forth on how narrow the specifics need to be. Then there’s the issue of a wide range of documents that are not covered under FoIA. And then finally even if you manage to request the documents correctly and they are covered under FoIA, sometimes they simply don’t have them. This is amazingly common when FoIA activists try to get budget and spending related documents.
> you learn to abuse the fact that the tile layouts follow rules and that you can rule out certain tiles without considering the words.

Can you clarify? Isn't the card placement random?
The brain drain from northern England to London is massive.

There are four high income tech/finance/media households on my culdesac in east London, thankfully including my own. Of the eight adults, I am from London but the other seven are from the midlands or north of England.
The reason for investing in the North is pretty simple: people live there. We have three options: do something productive with he area, do nothing and continue to pay for its decline, or move all the people to London and let house prices rise accordingly. What you said about first mover advantage rings true here. We can either pick the most developed city and devote resources elusively that area, or we can accept a proportionally smaller economy spread out across the whole country.

I also fail to see how London is subsidising these areas. It seems to me that they'd be much better off if they were able to run themselves. This is a classic case of purposeful under-investment. You see it in business as well. If someone wants to kill off a given project, they'll deprive it of funding to he point it can't operate properly then use the lack of profit generated as an excuse to axe it. The issue we have is that we can't just axe the North.

There is also the issue of measuring productivity. You say investments in London are more productive because they generate more profit, but consider that an equal investment in the North might have a much greater effect on the quality of life for the people living there. Should we measure investments by how much money they return or how much they improve people's lives? I am reminded of industrial strategy in the Soviet Union. They invested only in the most "productive" (highest ROI under capitalism) things such as heavy industry and very little in consumer technologies that make people happier. The result was rapid industrialisation which probably had the best effect in the long run. The question is how long term are we thinking? At some point, you've gotta start paying to make people happy instead of just investing in the most profitable area.
We get an emotional support network? Nobody told me.

Sure I'll happily do that when he peacefully steps down, but that's not what he did last time, and that's not what he has said he plans to do. He openly admires dictators.

Let's wait and see if he does what he thinks he should (try to remain president for life). I hope you wouldn't support it if he did try to extend his term, would you? I'm genuinely interested to hear you answer that - where is the line for you that he should not cross?

"He's now president for life, president for life. And he's great," Trump said, "And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot someday," Trump said to cheers and applause from supporters.

And oh look, I didn't even know about this attempt by a sycophant in congress to give him what he wants 3 days into his second term:

Yes, that's why I wrote as close as possible. I'd say that they (and some of their leaders in particular) have very close ties to neo-Nazi ideology.
Probably don't even need the webcam, detection via audio seems possible.
Depends on the city, but in most places the lanes are wide enough that a tram-designated area isn’t really an issue. Even then, it wouldn’t be a horrible idea if an avenue (running north-south) or two in Manhattan had one less lane for cars and one more for trams.
USENET?

To be fair, they blamed it on the administration. DNI is the administration.
