There isn't really a HW part of SV. Hardware engineers aren't paid well enough to live there in droves like programmers. There are some of course, but the ones I know are in San Diego or Bremerton or Israel. Also, it's comple

TSMC is a publicly traded company just like the others. I'm not familiar with their governance but Google tells me the largest owner (a state development fund) has 6%. They have a special advantage because they don't compete with

Is there some reason you'd want gasses in a lower purity class? (Well, it's cheaper.)

If you have kernel access you can do an OS-to-OS takeover from the original OS. That's how MkLinux worked on old Macs.

That's how you get a cooperating witness against their dealers. Also, it's illegal.

That's not enough evidence to tie it to a person. I remember that one and it seemed like it was dropped by someone on a tour.

Bali and Singapore will execute tourists for having drugs, so you can go there I guess.

The politicians aren't announcing they use cocaine in public, are they? Even if some of them do sniff a lot on camera.

Musk really is that good and nobody else is capable of building factories in the US, but the skills are in raising money and defeating NIMBYism. Raising money (and starting startups) involves a lot of lies and delusions which are not always

You can eliminate flag generation almost all the time with a little optimization (slash deoptimizing if you hit an unexpected use) but it certainly is less convenient to have to implement an optimizer.

Japan Rail is public-private and many of the other train lines are fully private. "Public" is kind of an empty distinction here, Americans associate the two concepts because they think mass transit is a kind of gift you give to po

Uber still is like that if you choose that option. It just defaults to UberX because that's cheaper. I dunno, I've never been in a dirty Uber/Lyft. But yes, I originally switched to them because Bay Area cabs just will not pi

I once got stuck at the vista point at the north end of Golden Gate, because it turns out it's nearly impossible to approach from the Marin side even though that's closer. So like ~4 drivers in a row tried, got lost on the way and

It looks like the map includes north of 280, so you can use it to go to Gamba Karaoke and Tea Era. And really, what else could you need from Cupertino?

Lyft from MV to SF is like $100 I think? It's definitely not enjoyable but for Bay Area prices it's not ruinously expensive. You /should/ be able to save by using shared rides, but in practice when I tried the driver was

It's not implementation-defined in Java because there aren't any unsigned types. Personally I think explicit typecasts are even more suspicious, because introducing explicit semantics is worse than implicit semantics if the explic

It wasn't necessarily. You could redefine the "true meaning" of the training data such that it wasn't an addition operation but was actually some other one, with the same data, and then the generalization would be wrong.

Oh yeah, maybe that one was too obscure for me. I don't think I've ever seen something use PF/AF… You do want FEAT_AFP though, so you do want ARMv8.6+.
