The main sting here seems to be that MemorySegment when allocated from Java code requires bounds checks on all accesses, which the JVM cannot optimise away on random accesses. However, MemorySegment itself already supports unbounded access

Fundamentally it’s supply and demand. Rents are high because people will pay that much. House prices are high because people will pay that much. If investors could not profitably buy and rent an house at the prices being asked then they wou

I suspect you’re mistaking not wanting/being able to speak English for not wanting to interact with non-Japanese people. Reality is most Japanese aren’t competent English speakers and find the prospect of speaking it stressful. Speak (

No need to screw with frequencies. In Australia, we’re moving towards dynamic operating envelopes for solar and other “distributed energy resources”. That potentially includes EVs and ACs. The idea is the solar inverter is sent a dynamic st

I guess this is very dependent on where you live? I live in suburban Melbourne and have no problems getting a same day appointment. There are at least 5 GP clinics within a 5 minute drive.

This impacted home and mobile internet as well as telephone systems. It also had ripple on effects. Optus was the backup communication provider for the Melbourne metro. The metro’s main communication system was down in the morning and they

In my experience using linear search it’s easy to introduce accidental O(n^2) time complexity into a function, which can really come back to bite you. The benchmark linked looks like the best case for linear search - searching a packed arra

I’m in Australia and get calls and messages from spoofed numbers all the time. The Wikipedia page on Caller ID spoofing is quite informative https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caller_ID_spoofing I think it’s much more com

Flicking through the description. That sight is just reselling the computer. It’s actually from a Chinese startup called SpinQ. The story should probably be Chinese startup selling 2/3 qubit desktop quantum computers.

I’m suspicious of your claims in B. I can’t speak for every country you mentioned but in Australia (which constitutes most of the Oceania market), Ford/GM are not huge here at all. I also didn’t think I’ve ever heard people speak favou

I don’t have any insider insight on this but the GPT3 paper discusses some of their data sets and curation techniques ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2005.14165.pdf ). The recent DinoV2 paper is also interesting reading ( https:

I can’t see anything about trend mining on the summary. Could you show where they’re doing the same thing? What you described sounds like a way to search documents not mine for trends. How is ChatGPT going to infer connections here without

It’s a (reasonable, in my opinion) but not proven assumption. It’s not a fact and not by definition. I think the bigger problem is that while the author assumes that humans cannot understand or control a super intelligent AI, he readily ass

The big jump in the last couple of years coincides with the war in Ukraine and high international gas prices. The government response has been to pressure gas producers to reserve more for the domestic market.

Mmm. I think you’re misrepresenting what your linked articles actually say. 1. Apple is moving some of its assembly capacity out of China but the article itself mentions that they’re still dependent on component imports from China. 2. Dell

I suspect this isn’t much different from the direction software development is headed. You can either find satisfaction in the process or the outcome. The process can already be fairly mundane and will become more so with time. A couple of

I assume the numbers are normalised for the number of buildings, otherwise the comparison would be meaningless.

Say what!? I think you have an image of Japan stuck in the 19050’s. I lived there for years and have known many people with mixed heritage, including my own children. Many choose to live in Japan because they feel comfortable there and that

We co-slept with both of ours as well. We still do with my youngest who’s just shy of two. He’s having eczema problems currently. Having him in the same bed as us means I can notice if he’s scratching and intervene, otherwise he’d keep scra

FWIW. After using it at my previous workplace, I got a 1Password family account. It’s got my (not particularly technical) wife using unique strong passwords for all her online accounts and made family password sharing easy. I think the conv

I can think of two prominent counter examples to this: 1. Google often extracts text from websites and displays it as answer. These “answers” are frequently wrong or outdated. 2. If you search translations Google will show an inline result

The title (and much of the article) sounds like the law singles out Americans, but the actual law apparently doesn’t. Calling the UK insular was also rather ironic given that the US has required ETAs for travel and fingerprints on arrival f

I think the real take away from those stats is that modern Slovenia is actually quite wealthy. Their GDP per-capita is similar to Italy and their HDI is higher.
