But it doesn't achieve that goal. It can't. Worldcoin only verifies someone is a real human once, when the identity is created. There is nothing stopping someone from lending or selling their verified identity to a bot. It already

For some context, this isn't really an argument about how much science should be in the curriculum, but how detailed and prescriptive that curriculum should be. New Zealand's High School curriculum is very perspective. There is an

The entire goal of Starship is to carry human passengers. Oceangate also started with unmanned test dives before they declared their submersible to be safe for humans. It's not directly comparable. Oceangate didn't do that many te

In one of Kaze's older videos [1] , he tracks both CPU and RCP time over various optimisations. The numbers make it pretty apparent that you can get significant RDP performance gains by reducing the amount of CPU bandwidth and/or

First, it did way less than 50 dives. I'm finding it really hard to find any solid numbers, but I've only found reference to only 3 or 4 previous dives to the Titanic, a test dive and a few dives to much shallower depths. That wou

Sometimes I'm using it as a laptop, the touchpad is absolutely great, I wouldn't do it any other way. Other times, I have it plugged into a monitor and a desktop keyboard. In those cases, I want a real mouse plugged in.

If it's a consumable, they should have tested at least one hull to destruction, just so they could be sure of it's failure modes. Based on what I've seen, it doesn't sound like OceanGate had decided on a fixed number of

"Titan is equipped with a real-time acoustic monitoring system, which OceanGate claims can detect the onset of buckling in the carbon fiber hull prior to catastrophic failure." I see a number of potential flaws with that plan. Y

1K ZX chess actually used the screen data as the game state. As a neat side effect, this means the user can see all the moves that the engine is considering.

That suggests it was the carbon fibre shell that failed. If it was the Plexiglas that failed (or other part of the end bell assembly), I'd expect the pressure to quickly equalise though the failure point and the carbon fibre shell to r

The lake is in a reasonably remote part of the country, in an area with exceptional high rainfall. Plenty of other sources of water. Most of that fresh water was going to flow out into the ocean anyway, this just sends it via a more direct

Bit of an understatement. ELF (Extremely low frequency) requires finding a section of earth's crust with very low conductivity that can be repurposed as an antenna. These antennas are very large, the US had one that was 45km long, the

But there wasn't ever a divergence in philosophy. It was a straight switch. In the 70s, everyone designing an ISA was doing CISC. Then in the 80s, everyone suddenly switched to designing RISC ISAs, more or less overnight. There weren&

Eh... It's a load/store architecture with fixed size instruction and all instructions execute in 1 cycle (unless they stall due to IO) That makes it quite RISCy. The overpowered instructions are just because it's an IO proces

I think Intel's iAPX 432 was probably the last in ~1982. It's not just that the RISC philosophy became popular, but suddenly it didn't make much sense to design a CISC ISA anymore. CISC was a great idea when you had really sl

> 4. RISC exists on three levels... Finally, a hardware implementation style (deep pipelines, etc) that results. I agree with the philosophy and ISA, but I don't think RISC is actually counts as a hardware architecture. Yes, there

I'm not sure why python was chosen. But I contributed a tiny bit of code to reddit back when it was open source and chatted with reddit engineers on IRC, so I do know the official justification (as of 2010ish) for reddit sticking with

While I was one of the many users who migrated from Digg to reddit in 2007-2009, I'm mostly basing my assertions off the perspective of the Digg engineer who launched Digg v4, and the article they wrote [1] on the topic. From this insi

It's super easy to check if any C/C++ code has been imported. Not too hard to get a reasonably good result with static analysis, just find all import statements and see if it maps to a python file or a dll/so file, recusing a

I'm confused. Why do people think my suggested solution is difficult enough to be comparable to the halting problem or "a smart enough compiler"? We are talking about a scenario where cpython has already been modified to supp

Removing the GIL is easy. It's already been done with Jython and IronPython. No changes to python code is needed. You do still need locks for concurrency, it's just that instead of a corse-grained global lock, you replace it with

by phire 3y ago
That's not an insurmountable problem. As long as all the data structures stay the same, all you really need to do is flush out all the non-GIL bytecode and load in (or generate) GIL bytecode. Sure, there might be a stutter when this ha

I'm not sure where you are getting your 1/3 numbers from as the M2 in the iPad scores pretty close in benchmarks to the M2 in the 13" macbook pro. [1] vs [2]. It's not a family. It's the exact same physical chip. Yo

But why not just do it on device? The CPU in Vision Pro is more than powerful enough for most tasks; It's the exact same CPU that Apple are shipping in many of their laptops. With the continuity workflow, I'll always need bring bo

To me, it comes across as a clumsy attempt to open a new line of negotiation, one which headed in the direction of Reddit buying Apollo outright. Christian is clearly thinking on his feet, so obviously he doesn't have a value propositi

I don't think apple ever officially claimed the trashcan mac pro could be rack mounted, those are kits provided by 3rd parties. But the 2019 mac pro did have an official rack mount variant of the case.

They probably did not negotiate in good faith. But.... I understand the API that the 3rd party apps interact with is powered by the legacy platform. The same platform that powers old reddit. It doesn't seem like reddit are updating tha

It seems like the plan was always to kill the 3rd party apps, but not until their own app was feature competitive with the 3rd party ones. But they ran into time limitations. They plan to IPO later this year and they want the 3rd party apps

In the case of multi-gpu gaming, loading might not be an issue. You are sending the exact same data to both GPUs. If the the PCIe switch and GPU drivers support multicast, then you would actually get the full 16x bandwidth to both. Which is
