> France is in decay with incompetent and unpatriotic governments for decades.

What are you on about? What does the "unpatriotic" bit have to do with anything?

> It is facing many issues but has lacked strong leadership courageous enough to put country first.

Right. What would "putting country first" mean? France is doing what it wanted to do for decades, which is consolidating European power to its advantage. Is that what you consider unpatriotic? If so, I have bad news for you: France is a great country, but absolutely does not have the resources for its ambitions on its own.

> If you follow French news you'll see many.

If you follow sources related to reality in any way you’ll see that some things are getting better and some things are getting worse. What does not change is the agitation about safety and security to make people afraid of their own shadow, even as the situation is quite clear: the country is safer than it has ever been.

You have a valid point hidden somewhere, it’s that the people were shortchanged and that inequality is rising. You are badly misguided if you think that this has anything to do with patriotism. In fact, the people pushing this narrative have their own interests to look after in the class struggle. They might make you think that they have the same enemies as the people but they are just looking after their own. Just look at any country in which the local nationalists came to power.
Had there been other Americans before them?
I slightly question anyone who ever believed him when he said taking some daily supplements was really going to help him live for any extended period of time beyond normal life expectancy. His claims were always ludicrous and never based off fact. He was always going to age similarly to everyone else in the world.
RD Gateway has nothing to do with tunneling, it's just a reverse proxy for RDP connections. Funny note: as you've mentioned in other comment, my guess is that RDG was also licensed from Citrix but at the later point.
Let’s be honest, saying “just fix the page tables” is like telling someone they can fly if they “just rewrite gravity.”

Yes, on Apple Silicon, the hardware supports shared physical memory, and with enough “convincing”, you can rig up a contiguous virtual address space for both the CPU and GPU. Apple’s unified memory architecture makes that possible, but Apple’s APIs and memory managers don’t expose this easily or safely for a reason. You’re messing with MMU-level mappings on a tightly integrated system that treats memory as a first-class citizen of the security model.

I can tell you never programmed on an Amiga.
Like interaction nets?
While this is a cool idea, I'm not really sure how it's ever going to be worth $20/mo. At most I'd pay $5 (which should still make you quite profitable?), since all outreach will be essentially cold. Retention is also a problem, since once someone finds a job, they won't need your service anymore.
My argument is more that the filesystem is a very very very good abstraction to build on and the addition of a network layer exponentially increases complexity and as a result decreases quality.

You can certainly do it, and sometimes it works out just fine, but generalizing all popular software client/server architectures contribute to modern software woes in my opinion (not to mention it discourages privacy! your tailnet example being a good counter-example).

Cross-platform development is another can of worms, and a strong advantage of the web for software distribution. There's a lot of snake oil - like SwiftUI, React-Native, Flutter, that always gets people excited but rarely makes an appearance in world-class software.
The music really is top-notch. I’m no aficionado, but I remember watching a video breakdown of Stayin Alive by The Bee Gees. If I had guessed, I would’ve said that there were maybe 3-4 instruments in that song. But actually there are like 15 things going on simultaneously. The video showed how critical each one was, and how the mixing produced that distinct sound.

Now I can hear things a bit better, and Bluey’s music makes me think of that video every time. There’s so much going on melodically and yet they blend it so well that you don’t really notice. It’s amazing.
Numberblocks goes hard in the later seasons, but sadly Netflix no longer has those.

I really enjoyed the adaptation of El Deafo on AppleTV. Its brilliant use of audio effects to explain the evolving technology of the little girl’s hearing aids had me in tears.
Is this amazing, or just finally proof of something most people already knew, which was he has no ability to change his life expectancy bar being generally fit and healthy.
This is a good reminder that regardless of what country you hail from, freedom and liberty are like love — continuous activities that you do every day, not something that you achieve once and then you're done. There will always be those who wish to consolidate more power to themselves than is good and always those who wish to impose their will on others. These people win if you, specifically you reading this, don't do something. So always choose to do something.
I would say one confounding factor is city people can get by on a salad an quinoa. If you live and work in country side beans, potatoes, meat are must have in a diet.

Coca-Cola's new hydrogen-powered vending machine doesn't need a power outlet
Engineering salaries in Europe are held back compared to the US by market forces (notably lack of investment), not unions. Unions representing highly educated workers do not typically engage in collective bargaining on salary, but rather supply legal aid and continuing education. It’s useful to have an army of lawyers on your side when the MBAs in charge try to cheat you and take away that promised equity, just to take one example.

In general it’s surprisingly difficult to compare salaries, because the US is a complete anomaly here. The tech bubble, stock inflation, real estate prices in SF and NY, student debt are all contributing factors.

In my anecdotal experience, there is little difference in actual disposable income for software engineers in the US and North West Europe, even when one makes $200,000/year and the other makes €100,000/year.
That makes sense because it has been brought about as a consequence of consumer preference. It wouldn't make sense for it to have been required by the government.
What can this handle? Code? Browser? Computer Use?
Bluey isn’t just aware parents are watching, though. It’s not just cameos and a little sneaky grown up humor. It’s more like two stories, both compelling, are being told at the same time, depending on which character you identify most with.
I’ve seen the episode a few times with my infant daughter, and honestly it might be my favorite tv episode of any show, ever.
I think it’s more about the cost and complexity of finding anything than trying to somehow imply that the societies living there were inferior.

We already know relatively little about Neolithic Europe despite there being major cities there that rivaled or eclipsed those in Mesopotamia in population. Yet we hardly know anything about them in comparison because they used perishable materials for almost everything (and it’s not only because of writing). Finding anything useful underwater makes that many times harder.
Yep, transputers failed miserably. I wrote a ton a code for them. Everything had to be solved in a serial bus, which defeated the purpose of the transputer.
I gave up once I realized it was a mystery box show, those always translate into unsatisfying tv shows full of wheel spinning and unsatisfying endings.
You missed a number of steps. The transactions are independent so they signal completion (to trigger the commit fsync) independently.

You can have the first transaction wait a bit to see if any other commits can be batched in the same fsync. However that’s off by default as the assumption is you want the transaction to complete as fast as possible.

At least that’s how PostgreSQL implements it.
Very interesting effect, but yes, the real imagination comes in when you have to explain how it might be used in practice.
After 5 years in development ReactOS 0.4.15 released With Tons Of Enhancements!

We are pleased to announce the release of ReactOS 0.4.15! This release offers Plug and Play fixes, audio fixes, memory management fixes, registry healing, improvements to accessories and system tools including Notepad, Paint, RAPPS, the Input Method Editor, and shell improvements. There are nearly 8 times more commits going into this release than in 0.4.14.
I see the nuance you have articulated. Thank you!

I can also see a "unifying mental model" -- whatever increases the "health" is pursued.

A corporation needs to "feed" on money, so its actions reflect this (e.g. PMs worsening services intentionally, in order to be able to charge more and thereby boost revenue).

A party in power needs to "feed" on support from its "base", so its actions reflect this (you said it best: "for the sake of cruelty")
Are you saying that people innovate because they want to attract investment?

Perhaps. Most of the time I’ve seen people innovate because they had the combination of passion and time to focus on doing something useful.
The "war" on drugs is what brings all of the violence and crime associated with drugs, not the drugs themselves. But it finances the police industrial complex and so many people would lose out (or be forced to focus on actual crimes rather than people consensually trading plants or chemicals) that it will never happen.
The theory being something along the lines of "Large mantle plume under Siberia suddenly freed when surface crust is fractured in numerous places by extensive antopodal convergence of shockwaves from the Wilkes Land impactor".
They are of course perfectly welcome to spend more, given their catastrophic underinvestment in every aspect of their business other than shareholder dividends. Pay line workers more! Buy more electrical service gear! If they do that they’re absolutely welcome to the higher dividends.

Even it would occupy them 20% of their time, the issue with such a backdoor is what it can do to non-criminals (ex: loose the backdoor to an enemy nation state that would allow spying on all citizens, or allowing some party to eliminate opposition).

I always find this "war on drugs" strange, considering they are so many buyers to make it worth. Annoy/treat/educate/understand the buyers, if enough people want something you will not make it go away by reducing supply. Or make it legal and make money from it as a state...
Yeah that stood out to me as well. There’s a kind of reverse-bechdel test where you can ask yourself to find any portrayal of a husband that doesn’t include mockery of some kind. And you can actually go back pretty far with it - it seems like that general trend began in the 70’s. Like you have I Love Lucy, which was a bit of a sexist show in its own right of course, but the husband wasn’t portrayed as incompetent. I can’t think of a more recent example, aside from Bluey.

Please learn to recognize sarcasm.

And just to be clear, even if you are responding in a tongue in cheek way. One person is joking about damaging physical property, and you're joking about about sending that person to prison for 20 years for their sarcastic remark. Do you really think a Tesla is more valuable than a human life? Do you really think a low effort joke is more valuable than a human life?
Remember when Red Hat tried to lock away the source code to subscribers only? I think they would have preferred not to provide source at all, but the enormous base of GPL code entangled with everything make that impractical.

I think we're really going to miss having the fundamental parts of the system available under strong copyleft, and it will be very hard to go back.
PV + heatpump maybe. PV + resistive heater yes. solar thermal is not worth price wise. solar thermal can be feasible only for big installations as is in stralsund, leipzig... - megawatts.

solar PV is order of magnitude cheaper in small systems (per actual provided output per year, not just rated wattage)

AND because hot water energy needs are much higher than for example tv, notebook etc, so after your hot water is heated, you can charge your devices with it, you can not do that with solar thermal. so if people size their systems for winter sunny day, they will have excess in summer so you can use that for other things like bikes, lawnmowers ...

of course there is ratio of people living in blocks of flats / townhouses and people living in family houses / rural, so every situation is unique. so townhouses should be connected to central heating network and heating network provider should chase efficiencies of scale, that is better, faster, cheaper for everyone ( europe / germany context ) if urban density does not allow otherwise.

similar situation with electric cars, a lot of people is crying that there are not enough chargers for them, those are "city" people, but in reality most people live in rural setting or family houses
and in germany every house already has more than enough electrical capacity to charge from outlet, you can charge car from 2.5kW which is same wattage as most electric kettles. yes it charges over night (10 hours) only 100 km but every house can do that already. faster charger can be bought. of course situation in cities is quite different, you can not just put extension cord from window. which is feasible in rural setting / family houses. even in berlin roughly 50 % of people do not live in townhouses / high rises.
Italy does have protection from repeated prosecution as a fundamental right (not least due to the directly binding charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union).

And as the US population currently finds out, what's written in a constitution is not worth much when there is inadequate rule of law (and the US constitution offers comparatively few protections as is).
If the general public is given a choice between super secret internet messaging, or the current status quo, they will go for the latter. This is because the former hampers law enforcement's ability to track down criminals and terrorists.

And the better informed non-techies are about the tech, the more they will support backdoors.

No large service will survive providing E2EE. In the near future, there is bound to be some widely publicized incident where E2EE plays a pivotal role in a big atrocity or financial calamity. Then the public will demand that government, for whom it is already a worry, do something about it.

It just seems like a pipedream to me that unfettered E2EE will last in big tech.

In how I view my relationships with customers, I wouldn't want to sacrifice my relationship with customer 3 to get customer 5. My main concern would be in building a stable resilient org, not in growth unless we had a reason for growth.

I understand where you are coming from, but the archetypes I am describing are just as valid for non-profits. The scrappy person who starts something is different than the person that creates a functioning long term org with structure and delegation. The person who is good at launching from zero has a different set of skills than the person to who takes something that has launched into something that is sustainable.

I am not talking about the growth at all costs mindset. I think we agree, it is the growth at all costs mindset that replaces that builder to creates that stable org with a carpet bagger that has BCE that claims they are going to build the business 2x or more but all they bring in is politics. These are the snake oil salesmen that fail up.

If an org needs to be revitalized, rather than bringing in BCE, they should go back and bring in Founder Energy.

Oh yes I programmed all the Amiga models, mostly in assembly level. I reprogrammed the ROMs. I also published a magazine on all the Commodore computers internals and build lots of hardware for these machines.

We had the parallel Inmos Transputer systems during the heyday of the Amiga, they where much better designed than any the custom Amiga chips.

Perhaps the reason it works is because the dad character isn’t an overplayed masculine ideal, and therefore fresh.

I personally suspect one reason for the “bumbling dad” trope is the “classically ideal dad” is everywhere in stories, and thus becomes boring.

Subverting the conventional power figure is also played for laughs a lot, while Bluey doesn’t ask us to laugh at anyone.
the CM architecture or programming model wasn't really a DAG. It was more like tensors of arbitrary rank with power of two sizes. Tensor operations themselves were serialized, but each of them ran in parallel. It was however much nicer than coding vectors today - it included Blelloch scans, generalizied scatter-gather, and systolic-esque nearest neighbor operations (shift this tensor in the positive direction along this axis). I would love to see a language like this that runs on modern GPUs, but its really not sufficiently general to get good performance there I think.
I think the docs haven't been updated - there was a commit made 3 weeks ago where they replace SHA3 with bcrypt
I suspect they had him in mind right from the start and even developed the character for him.

Custard/McCormack are Brisbane-based and Bluey has been produced from a Brisbane studio since the very beginning. The writers/producers would have known and liked his music and voice, and probably someone there already knew him personally. Bluey is shown on ABC in Australia and Custard has always had lots of airplay on ABC TV and radio stations.
There are many intertwined issues here. One of the reasons we can't have a good parallel computer is that you need to get a large number of people to adopt your device for development purposes, and they need to have a large community of people who can run their code. Great projects die all the time because a slightly worse, but more ubiquitous technology prevents flowering of new approaches. There are economies of scale that feed back into ever-improving iterations of existing systems.

Simply porting existing successful codes from CPU to GPU can be a major undertaking and if there aren't any experts who can write something that drive immediate sales, a project can die on the vine.

See for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray_MTA when I was first asked to try this machine, it was pitched as "run a million threads, the system will context switch between threads when they block on memory and run them when the memory is ready". It never really made it on its own as a supercomputer, but lots of the ideas made it to GPUs.

AMD and others have explored the idea of moving the GPU closer to the CPU by placing it directly onto the same memory crossbar. Instead of the GPU connecting to the PCI express controller, it gets dropped into a socket just like a CPU.

I've found the best strategy is to target my development for what the high end consumers are buying in 2 years - this is similar to many games, which launch with terrible performance on the fastest commericially available card, then runs great 2 years later when the next gen of cards arrives ("Can it run crysis?")
It would be cool if any of our parties would give a fuck about how any of us are doing, but they don't. The communist party is supposed to be in tune with the people, and you can only do that by being with the people to understand what they need. Western propaganda pathologizes this to benefit capitalist ideology, because capitalists only are with the people to control them and make them work faster.
Beginner here. A takeaway I got from the Andrew Ng's Coursera course (specifically for neural networks) is that adding more neurons and layers than the "minimum needed" is usually okay (that is, no risk of overfitting when considering reasonable regularization terms.) Sadly, there is no rule for that minimum, so you must do trial and error; on the other side, carelessly extending the network will be inefficient and eventually slow.
For the activation functions, the output layer's is mostly determined by the problem being tackled, and for the inner layers you usually start with ReLU and then try some of the common variants using some heuristics (again related to the current problem.)
Of course you should consider other successful models for similar problems as your starting point.
Airbus has significant (at least 25% last I looked) state ownership by various European governments. They did the development, the launching is done by Arianespace which is half owned by Safran (which is also part owned by France). That combined with the Ariane programs themselves being initiated and funded by the ESA makes it a much weaker claim to be a commercial rocket launch.

It's going to be hard to find a space rocket company which has 0% state involvement (e.g. Isar Aerospace and SpaceX have also accepted some amount of funding through venture rounds or contracts one way or the other at some point which can be traced back to governments, or purchased use of government launch facilities) by nature of "why wouldn't you accept a government launch at some point if you've already built a cost efficient rocket" or the like... but I think it's fair for Isar to claim to be launching the first commercial European space rocket since the program to build the rocket wasn't initiated by a state space agency or fulfilling a state agency contract by doing the initial flight.

I question the desire of those working at Microsoft on these projects. Why are you releasing your work in dribs and drabs? Why are you not following scientific process?
