I'm not sure the 250$ million is relevant here - he did not have to post anything like that, so if he's willing to throw his parents under the bus and rates his chances of escape highly he can leave without ever paying that bail.

I guess it's a question of personal interpretation - but to me those two numbers aren't different enough to quibble over. Also, given that this is about bail, not convictions, it's at least arguable (right?) that the proport

How about: "No use of any software or device that includes any cryptographic algorithms." :-P Back to the stone age it is!

Merely because one questionable thing happened doesn't mean other questionable things are excused. We don't need to embrace a race to the bottom.

I think the point is that youtube will not provide tools for video authors to label their youtube hosted videos as CC if there is any non-CC portion of the video. Which seems at least somewhat reasonable, given the unreasonableness that is

Furthermore, turning this into essentially a contract law issue allows for enforcement by the broader community (depending on how the contract is worded, and with whom it formally is, of course), rather than waiting for prosecutors that may

At the kind of high quality settings many still images are encoded at, jpeg XL often beats all those other formats in quality/bit (at _low_ bitrates the video-derived formats win). Furthermore, in lossless mode it does significantly b

What's the alternative, really?

Sometimes the extra speed can be relevant. Knowing what the upside _can_ be can help inform the choice whether it's worth it. Secondly, even assuming you want runtime bounds checking everywhere, then this is still a useful analysis be

Exactly - so the problem is perhaps best thought of from a different perspective - i.e. not that the compiler only considered defined behavior when rewriting code (because what else would it do?), but rather that certain behavior could have

by emn13 4y ago
Checks that are always true _in some context_ are entirely normal and by design if the code can be used in a different context. If your code is reused in a way that let's the optimizer re-optimize the code per-context, then you'll

Having implementation defined behavior would imply non-portability. C compilers have all kinds of ways of exposing platform-specific features, but sneaking those into what looks like standard behavior has its own issues. And even if you acc

The C/C++ language doesn't provide for a way for the compiler to see that you really meant this one check to take precedence over the implicit promise in another. The reason why C++ is always relevant here (though C macros and inl

Which is quite respectable, but still nevertheless a far cry from the presumable 60M+ iops the server would have using dram (if it scales linearly, which I doubt, it would hit 70M). Also, DRAM gets quite close to those numbers with only ar

That's an entirely different dimension - you can reach these throughput numbers on DDR5 likely even with merely 16GB. And an massive 12-channel 6TB socket solution will likely have slightly less than 6 times the random-read bandwidth.

I think the person you're replying to is confusing IOPS with latency. If you add enough parallelism, then NAND flash random-read IOPS will eventually reach DRAM performance. But it's not going to be easy - for a sense of scale I

Technically that's a fine idea, but practically - I think this will merely be a distraction and slow everything down. There's not a lot of point to brunsli if you've got jxl, and brunsli would make further non-transcoding imp

by emn13 4y ago
You are of course completely correct. However, I do think numbers like these are more intuitive when people talk about duration (or latency, or time taken; depending on context) rather than speed outside of very narrow situations. In a car

While the background makes sense, I don't think the conclusion follows (that this isn't an antitrust issue in the slightest). Frankly - many of those other firms are antitrust worries too; it's just that legal antitrust tools

It's not obvious to me that replacing TCP really is harder than designing your "own" chip. Scarequotes here because those graviton chips (that's what you're referring to, I think?) are of course ARM chips, so they&

This isn't true in general. Very specific ML algorithms that were likely developed with years of blood and sweat and tears may have this kind of resiliency, but I've been in the the numerical weeds enough here that I wouldn'

I've dealt with many nasty rendering bugs in chromium that were never addressed, from weirdness that just made rendering a bit ugly, to spec-incompliant layout (that also differed from other engines), to iframe-related stuff that left

1500W of LEDs is... rather bright; on the order of 150000 lumen. I guess there will be significant losses perhaps, but I sure hope most signage is using a lot less than that.

Not the OP, but indoor drying in winter at least where I live has the issue that (a) it tends to be so slow that the wash sometimes starts smelling stale, (b) it's just extracting heat from the house by evaporation, so it's going

The OP's example of createActions smells like such a scenario. The way redux mashes up payloads and discriminators makes it hard to type correctly - as in objects are not simply composed, they're extended by adding properties, an

I see what you mean. I'm not seeing that in this particular article, but without getting sidetracked by whether he's said that before - I think there are two flavors of agility here. You're arguing against runtime agility.

If I remember correctly, benchmarks of the ryzen 6800u (not quite this chip, but close) showed that the perf/watt sweet spot was probably _less_ than 15W. Even at 28W there were clear signs of diminishing returns, and anything north o

As far as I understand it, it's up to the device manufacturer to pick the exact TDP. It's by design that some devices might structurally exceed the base cTDP. I don't know the figures for lenovo's thinkpad, which is why

Yep; I know. But for most people interested in this comparison that's nevertheless likely to make the comparison less representative of their workloads. Hats off to phoronix; it's not meant as a criticism - just an expectation tha
