The court doesn’t seem to have reached any conclusion about the constitutionality of using the Alien Enemies Act in this way. They just said the process for challenging the AEA must be done through a habeas petition in district where they a

Interesting that Barrett concurred with the dissent on whether the petitioners should be allowed to bring their habeas petition in the District Court of D.C.

I have no specific knowledge of the Domino database format, but extrapolating from my knowledge of database storage formats in general: the database file almost certainly contained data structures of fixed size. Many of the fields in these

Yep, ObjC programs call into the runtime every time they call a method.

I think you’re misunderstanding “unified memory”. That term refers to whether the GPU has its own onboard memory chips which must be populated by a DMA transfer. It doesn’t refer to whether the system has an MMU.

Being able to port your existing C++ driver to IOKit instead of rewriting it in Objective-C is a selling point. For some reason people a lot of people seem to dislike writing an Objective-C shell around their C++.

Many drivers are gradually moving back into userspace via DriverKit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit

That is categorically incorrect. You are conflating purchasing power with exchange rate.

Both. Foreign cash reserves are a thing, and economic actors might choose to transact in USD for price stability or efficiency reasons.

Plenty of international trade is settled in USD. Here’s a chart showing that China still settles just under half its international trade in U.S. dollars: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/sp/hf02-start-of-de-dollari...

I’ve noticed that distributors (Jameco, Mouser, etc) have a surprising number of introductory education articles. I’ve seen this pattern on websites for car dealerships and HVAC installers, so I assumed it was for SEO purposes. But electro

So we want universities to get their funding from private sources that are expressly entitled to impose the same kind of conditions? Or do we want universities to spend more time and overhead on cobbling their funding together from a large

No it doesn’t. The First amendment is supposed to prevent the government from conditionalizing access to government services based on the speech of the recipient. Private institutions are not subject to such restrictions. If we want to enco

This is interesting to me, because Spain and Italy are also exporters of olive oil. And there have been famous discoveries of fraud in the EVOO market as it has boomed. I wonder what percentage of Spanish and Italian EVOO exports are actual

I see no evidence of your claim. A total of 4 senators of the President’s party voted symbolically on a non-binding resolution against his Canada tariffs. The Speaker of the House, who also belongs to the President’s party, won’t even bring

It would be especially detrimental to the pursuit of justice if the friends, family, and lawyers of a suspect could find out whether or not a warrant has been issued for them or their stuff before it is executed. Our system works on “trust

There are opinions which should cause one to seriously consider ending their friendship. I would hope “wanting to kill Jews” is on pretty much everyone’s list.

The data show the only things that have had an impact on golf are the golf ball and speed training. And we’re rolling back the golf ball.

Me either, but it wouldn’t be unreasonable if the target has 32-bit ALUs but only 16 address lines and no MMU.

Now that you mention it, at least on Wintel compiler vendors did not preserve the definition of `int` during the transition from 16-bit to 32-bit. I started in the 386 era myself so I have no frame of reference for porting code from 286.
624.
by dcrazy 2y ago
The C language does not specify that `int` is 32-bits. That is a choice made by compiler developers to make compiling non-portable code written for 32-bit platforms easier, because most codebases wind up baking in assumptions about variable

I’m curious if Civilization VII has the same issue. Baldur’s Gate 3 was released around the same timeframe as Civ 6 and has some pathological behavior on higher-core-count machines.

How does CPU-based inference compare to GPU-based inference, performance-wise? And aren’t these machines likely to be used for training?

You seem to be coming from the assumption that checks and balances requires granting random outsiders full transparency into the court docket during the investigation phase. That’s not how it has ever worked, because it would tip off those

How are you arriving at double the price? 16-CPU-core Mac Studio with storage upgrade to 1TB and RAM upgrade to 128GB comes out to $3,700. Add $700 if you want to upgrade to the 28-core CPU (there’s nothing directly comparable to the DGX Sp
