There are a lot of people writing really bad scrapers and running them on far from high compute power systems. This is the prevent DoS because of those. The big companies are often far more clever and know they are traversing the whole internet and can come back later.

Other way around, a horse does more like 5-15hp

1hp/750W or so sustained is insane power for all but a few and that is still for relatively short time periods.

Some code definitely does, but it isn't the product. People, outside the devs making it, don't value how good the code is, but how well it solves the problem.

More and more I have realized it was not the coding that I enjoyed, but solving problems/puzzles. This fits into the beautiful code not really mattering to more than myself but the solution for people, but that is hard to let go of.

From personal experience, one can get practically close guessing such that the error isn't going to be more significant compared to the errors in insulin to carb ratios/sensitivity factors/...

I am pretty good at this and the cheese sandwich example threw me, I would have estimated around 10-15g of carb for each slice. So the 28g is fairly consistent with that, not 40g. The only real way would be to weigh it and use the labeling. Another thing that often gets people is the labeling often has a serving size of say 2 slices and a weight that does not reflect the actual weight of 2 slices.

Luckily with good tools the significance is reduced, people using closed loop insulin pumps will automatically correct for that. Lots more room to wiggle.

Out of my area, but yeah, I have never heard of an optimized read using that. On the surface, it seems like a task much better suited for HW and there are companies that would probably pay for the ram per core penalty to get that low jitter in latency.

I wonder if there will be a hardware solution in the future that duplicates memory over multiple channels and gives the first result back transparently without threads and racing.

This is one of my fears with this, losing ones voice. Everyone's expression distilled to the mean. This has ramifications in things like recognizing if a person is who they say they are too. At least currently, it is punished/shunned to sound like an LLM, but it's well within reason to see that shift to individuality being penalized.

There is a lesson in Ukraine and Iran being that invading a prepared country isn't easy and takes full commitment. Taiwan is most likely very prepared to defend itself.

I've used docker buildx to do this in the past. Easier to work with than qemu directly(it does so under the hood).

std::string since C++ 11 guarantees the buffer is zero terminated. The reasoning being thread safety of const members. https://eel.is/c++draft/basic.string#general-3

I don't want my vehicle connected at all. It's an open invitation to privacy reducing tech and exploits.

The issue I have with Thunderbird and RSS is that there's no good way to do a show me the unread only and keep the feed folders. You can do a search folder or show unread folders but that affects mail too.

Or I don't know how

I'm reading this on my RSS reader right now :)

I don't think the oil exports from Canada ever stopped. If anything, they have grown.

I think that it comes down to that people often like to talk about their interests but worry that the recipient may not be. So we end up with two people who want to talk but worried about the others feelings.

The US exec probably doesn't want to order them either. So the game would be played and they did their best. There's another article about the US fighting data sovereignty requirements/laws in other countries, but that relies on their quickly dwindling soft power.

Not sure Canada has the leverage/market to get them to sway here. But a body like the EU has the leverage to force local operation and control.

It isn't usually an American company doing the local operations, but a local subsidiary. Like Walmart Canada telling Walmart corporate to pound sand in the 1990's over Cuban pajamas. It's illegal for Canadian companies to participate in the US embargo of Cuba.

This is all well within the realm of what governments can and do regulate. Want to do business in a country with their laws or not is the choice.

Countries hosting the data centres can make it illegal to allow access from outside their area/EU... or specifically to US entities along with making it illegal to move any data out without customer/local gov approval... This isn't rocket science. The company cannot do business if it doesn't follow the law. There are laws like this in places already. The company's local subsidiary tells the American company to politely pound sand and the American company says sorry, we tried, but do not have the capability to do as asked.

lying to federal officers is what nailed Martha Stewart

lol, im on 7.3.x for extra safety

I am so happy that MSVC added 128 bit integers to their standard library in order to do ranges distance of uint64_t iota views. One type alias away from int128's on most machines running gcc/clang/msvc

Oh wow, thanks. I thought they moved to the US.

There are some examples of companies that scaled really well in Canada but move to the US subsequently for better access to their market. Shopify is the first example that comes to mine.

Oops, I meant they are ABI locked so sad path cannot be fixed.

The model of communicating errors with exceptions is really nice. The implementation in C++ ABI's is not done as well as it could be and that results in large sad path perf loss.

C++ exceptions are fast for happy path and ABI locked for sad path. They could be much faster than they are currently. Khalil Estell did a few talks/bunch of work on the topic and saw great improvements. https://youtu.be/LorcxyJ9zr4
