Also has recommendations for other shows you might enjoy. It's low effort and does nothing new but it was fun for me and that's what computing has been lacking for a while.
So, this website introduces Chess 744 and addresses the confusing castling issues of Chess 960. Basically, we removed the Chess 960 setups with rook and king in a corner and then used the exact mechanic from standard chess. Rool moves to king (if not already adjacent) and then king swings behind the rook. Here is the site - along with a designated setup for each calendar day.

"We'd shoot a scene with multiple cameras side-by-side shooting at different frames rates, play it back to the class later, and ask which one looked "more like a movie" to them. Invariably, even if they couldn't explain why, everyone always picked the 24p version"

Isn't this the most expected result? How could it possibly be anything else?

There isn’t a single truly pause-less GC for Java — and I’ve already proven that to you before. If such a GC exists for any other language, name it.

And no, SGCL doesn’t introduce slow paths, because mutators never have to synchronize with the GC. Pointer access is completely normal — unlike in other languages that rely on mechanisms like read barriers.

The market segmentation you describe makes a lot of sense to me. But I don't think the situation is a matter of under-investment and is instead just fundamental market economics.

Nvidia can afford to develop a comprehensive software platform for the compute market segment because it has a comprehensive share of that segment. AMD cannot afford it because it does not have the market share.

Or to put it another way, I assume that AMD's efforts are motivated rational economic behavior and it has not been economically rational to compete heavily with Nvidia in the compute segment.

AMD was able to buy ATI because ATI could not compete with Nvidia. So AMD's graphics business started out trailing Nvidia. AMD has had a viable graphics strategy without trying to beat Nvidia...which makes sense since the traditional opponent is Intel and the ATI purchase has allowed AMD to compete with them pretty well.

Finally, most of the call for AMD to develop a CUDA alternative is based on a desire for cheaper compute. That's not a good business venture to invest in against a dominate player because price sensitive customers are poor customers.
Essential and the most important part of modern democracy is freedom: Universal, individual human rights. It is the foundation of the US: 'All men are created equal and are endowed with inalienable rights ...', the land of liberty, home of the free, liberty and justice for all. The Constitution's limited remit to government, and the specific limits, are about freedom and self-determination.

And that's certainly liberal - that is the same foundation of classical liberalism and modern left-wing liberalism.

It's absurd to suggest otherwise; it's pointless arguments about verbiage. Nobody wants mob rule, nobody thinks of democracy without human rights and indvidual freedom, either scholars or the general public.

> It’s about people being able to vote to live in the kind of society they want.

Why should they get to decide en masse what people do individually? That's just dictatorhip of the majority, of the mob. Freedom is what the US and democracy are about.

> Democracy is not about free trade, or protecting immigrants, or the like.

It is; it's about freedom.
> How many times have you had an idea guy come to you with a "great idea for an app" if only they could find someone to program it for them?

Many. And I love it when those people code something up with Scratch, Matlab, or even Excel. Even though I personally would dislike the aesthetics of the result, I’m much happier to see other people enjoying computers the same way I enjoy them (i.e., by using them to solve interesting problems) than if I insisted everyone do so using my preferred “real” programming languages.

A ton of sand, but that's the main issue with those systems and why it's genuinely impractical as anything but a hobbyist project. They need constant monitoring as all of those cells are from laptop and risk thermal runaway at some point. Even with the best matching possible some cell in his configuration will have higher internal resistance and create heat. "Real" large off-grid systems all use LiFePO4 and are unlikely to just catch fire. That being said from the forum post he seems well aware and he probably has individual fuse for each cell.

You could also just bury it so that the worst of the explosion is mostly mitigated. I've also seen small container setup which would probably work better than his (seemingly) wooden shed.

> It’s less common now that car controls have somewhat standardized, but I’m old enough that I remember when rental cars were a pain because it would start raining and you couldn’t find the windshield wipers.

This is a problem of standardization across manufacturers, not something inherent in physical controls. I never have a problem using the steering wheel in a rental car because they're all the same.

You'd have the same problem with voice interfaces: For some rental cars, turning on the wipers would be "Turn on the wipers". For others, you'd have to say "Activate the wipers." For others, "Enable the windshield wipers." There is no way manufacturers will be capable of standardizing on a single phrase.

Hi, I'm Nick! I'm a software engineer with experience developing fullstack web applications with a product-focus mindset. I have preference towards working on the backend, but enjoy working on the frontend as well. I most recently created Tumbleweed (https://tumbleweed-cdc.github.io/), an open-source framework for real-time data streaming between microservices. It leverages Kafka and Debezium to connect to a user's PostgreSQL database, and stream data changes in real-time to a microservice consumer. I'm passionate about utilizing my skills to build impactful software, solve complex problems, and love collaborating with others.

The Classical Educator's Reading List [pdf]
"Correct, theaters at the time could not really been project anything other than 24fps. So there were 2 parts to the shooting style, and one of them is what you describe, shooting at the higher frame rate used in order to have it play back slower when conformed to 24. But they did this in a pretty unusual way. During the action sequences, they would ramp up frame rate from 24 to 30 and back down. They would do adjust during the shot, so the action scenes had these subtle but constantly-occurring increases and decreases in speed that looked very interesting and had not been done before."

Wouldn't this just lead to judder? Maybe that was something that had not been seen before in a movie shown at cinemas.

I've heard that sometimes scenes like kung fu fights were filmed in a lower frame rate (maybe 20 fps) and then it got faster when it was projected in 24 fps. If you do it the other way around movement just get slower (which is what you want for slow motion).

Amazing concept! The app is having a hard time finding the transcripts for YouTube videos. It wasn’t able to find a single one that I tried, even older videos. However, I’ve used custom GPT‘s that are able to, for example, provide summaries of YouTube videos successfully so something’s not working for this service.

Thanks for the additional information. I am still puzzled though. This sounds like it is a third party (maybe just a small group of devs?) doing all the work, and from your link they have had to beg AMD just to send them hardware?

Yeah I mean, I've worked on a multi-million-line Python 2 codebase. It wasn't easy, but it certainly wasn't impossible.
On the other hand my experience as both a graduate and professor teaching students are equally discouraging.

1. Most students don't want to have to think. As a student I was always annoyed that we'd be given exact instructions with an exactly know result to reproduce, while this is generally not how real experiments work. So when I designed an experiment I wrote instructions that reflected more the real life experience, I.e. instead of "place the lens A 10mm from object B" it was "place the lens one focal length away from the object, to know the focal length of your lens you can use a light source at Infinity (far away)." after I left my university the instructions were reverted back because students complained that they didn't get step by step instructions.

2. Students dutifully write down a measurements that is of several orders of magnitude with absolutely no acknowledgement/discussion. I have seen speed of light barely faster than a car and mass of a small piece material in 100s of kg (usually because students forget a nano or giga in a calculation), without any discussion that the result is nonsensical.

3. Similar they make a fit like the one in the OP and don't even discuss the error bars. Or (and that's already the better students) they make a fit with tiny error bars, but get the wrong result (typically due to some mistake like above) and in the discussion say the difference to an expected error is due to measurement error.

Now I also know that there are crappy graduate students who teach because they are teaching the "only get the correct result" but it's often very difficult to improve teaching because students will immediately complain that they have to adjust to changes.

Just out of curiosity, were you up-front after the fact that this was part of the exercise?

We had a first-semester freshman year course that all incoming students were required to take. The first assignment in that class was an essay, pretty typical stuff, I don't even remember what about.

A day after handing it in, roughly half of the class would be given a formal academic citation for plagiarism. That half of the class hadn't cited their sources. "This one time only", the citation could be removed if the students re-submitted an essay with a bibliography.

While it was obvious, in hindsight, that the point of the exercise was to get you to understand that the university took plagiarism seriously, especially with the "this one time only" string attached, it felt dishonest in that nobody ever came out and said so. I luckily wasn't on the receiving end of one of those citations, but I can only imagine the panic of a typical first-semester freshman being formally accused of plagiarism.

> you’re phrasing that in the passive voice, as if “the law” is “enforced” by higher beings sitting outside the political process. It is not. The enforcement of criminal laws is a political act, performed by political actors. And it is an inherently discretionary political act. Prosecutors actually have no obligation to enforce the law in every circumstance.

If you read my comments (maybe not in that one?), I agree and say that often. We must work with human institutions; that's not argument that they can't work, work well, or are useless. I can't think of an advanced democracy that has used that discretion to block a serious candidate (one who could win).

> It’s not an argument for lawlessness, but rather an argument for viewing the political act of law enforcement as being secondary to the ultimate political act of electing leadership in any scenario where those two things could be seen as being in conflict.

It would allow political actors to break laws with impunity - probably the most dangerous threat to the rule of law is from powerful political actors - simply because there is an election in the future.
