The EU age verification system requires tying yourself to Google/Apple [0] (ie will not work with GrapheneOS) which is a non-starter. This means you will need a mandatory Google/Apple account. What if your Google account gets bann

Have you tried the OpenAI deep research in the past week or so? It's been updated to use 5.2 https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2021299935678026168 (I work at OpenAI, but on the infra side of things not on models)

One concern with PTWRITE is that it is somewhat "slow," at least according to this: https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/Intel-Processor-Tr... I wonder if this is a general issue relating to memory

Hi, love the article. You mention in the article that a hardware mechanism for tracing should exist -- have you investigated the intel_pt (processor trace) extension? I believe this uses hardware buffers and supports timestamping & cycl

There's some ambiguity for argument destruction order for example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36992250 Similarly, the construction/destruction order for std::tuple elements is not well defined. Granted, that

Say I wanted to rank my own personal collection of songs by retention/engagement— are there any open source libraries or crisp descriptions of algorithms/statistical models that one could use?

The runtime is quadratic for a given context size, although it seems like there is some progress on this front https://gwern.net/note/attention

Is `(x - 1)` not a runtime cost if `x` is a runtime variable?

Is this a 1-1 comparison? If the ARM compile is compiling to ARM binaries then there might be less work/optimizations since it is a newer architecture. Seems like a test with two variables that changed. Would be interesting to see them

Could you describe what makes the Google Fibers so nice? I'm also really curious why they require modifications to the Linux kernel. My first guess would be stronger integration with the IO model at the syscall boundary (similar to io_

Related: is it possible to reliably maintain physical disk space quotas in Linux (similar to cgroups)? Furthermore, is it possible to say how much "space" you would use if you were to create a file with a given size, accounting fo

In my experience this is only true for C/C++ (with a decent amount of work to setup CROSSTOOL properly). As soon as you start to get into Python, and Python<->C++ interop, it becomes very leaky. I heard that Google has some tools

What is an example of a 3-space embedding or interesting literature? I'm having difficulties googling the term.

Some FANGs definitely use Arista/Cisco. As far as I know white box hardware is mostly for top of the rack switches (as opposed to backbone infra).

Some CPU heavy operations like crypto are not put in a threadpool. While it may be running C code, it will block the main thread while executing. See https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/678 Perhaps the new

Why is the 16GB RAM + FHD screen (1080p) variant not available in the US and Canada? It seems like this has been a long-standing issue since at least the 9360. This is very frustrating since I don't need the 4k panel (in fact I don&#x2

The majority of the userspace is not in python, but binaries. None of the magic is in the asics (which are commodity Broadcom).

I'm very curious, what pain did you see with the repo.py tool?

This is fantastic! The biggest standout feature in my opinion is workspaces. I've been using workspaces on a client project with many sub-projects and it has been a pleasure. Shared modularized code without creating private npm package

Info on typescript+d3 would be really nice. With the large scope of d3, a little auto-complete would go a long way for a beginner like me.
