juggertao··on Cruise wasn't hiding accident video from regulators – it had bad internet
Look at the main message: it wasn't malevolence, just incompetence and technical difficulties.
juggertao··on CNC lasers for cutting and engraving
Lasers are so cheap these days. For $50 you can buy a DMX controlled 0.5W RGB laser from AliExpress.

I've been thinking about using them for Christmas lights.

juggertao··on Android now lets you transfer eSIMs between your phones
If it was about control the carriers would block the SIM when it was moved to a different phone.
juggertao··on Cruise wasn't hiding accident video from regulators – it had bad internet
> according to a report compiled by a law firm investigating the incident. The law firm, Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, was hired by Cruise to determine whether its executives misled regulators

This is why lawyers are so expensive. Totally worth the money in this case to hire an "independent" auditor.

juggertao··on Show HN: Alzheimer's Buddy: Use Flashing Light and Sound at 40Hz
Given that people recommend pages like this to try fixing stuck bad pixels, makes sense that it could also break them.
juggertao··on Intel's next-gen Arrow Lake CPUs might come without hyperthreaded cores
And at memory stall they are exchanged with other waiting thread groups.

Just like HT.

juggertao··on Intel's next-gen Arrow Lake CPUs might come without hyperthreaded cores
But it is. GPUs have many more threads in flight than execution units.
juggertao··on Scientists report asymmetry between heating and cooling
Absolute zero is very far away for all practical purposes to act as a bound.
juggertao··on Scientists report asymmetry between heating and cooling
Depends on the climate.

Houses built in southern Italy are like that (white paint, shutters on windows, ...)

But in the Sweeden the opposite, optimize for heat.

juggertao··on Intel's next-gen Arrow Lake CPUs might come without hyperthreaded cores
Yet GPUs which take HT to the next level by having thousands of "hyper-threads" work very well for scientific computing.

When will the super-obvious Tether scam implode?

And why aren't they printing Tether right now to push the price back up?

juggertao··on Intel's next-gen Arrow Lake CPUs might come without hyperthreaded cores
> However, a replacement for the traditional HT is likely to come in the form of Rentable Units, a more efficient pseudo-multi-threaded solution that splits the first thread of incoming instructions into two partitions, assigning them to different cores based on complexity. Rentable Units will use timers and counters to measure P/E core utilization and send parts of the thread to each core for processing.

juggertao··on Elevator Expert on How to Move 10k People Up a 118-Floor Skyscraper [video]
There were discussions to put multiple cars in the same shaft. Obviously there are some complications.
juggertao··on Elevator Expert on How to Move 10k People Up a 118-Floor Skyscraper [video]
Most modern buildings (2008+) don't have up/down buttons anymore, instead they require each person to input the exact floor they want to go to on a keypad. It's called "destination dispatch".
juggertao··on Why is everything so ugly?
Classic marble architecture is considered racist and white supremacy adjacent these days.

juggertao··on Why is everything so ugly?
The current advice is when you buy something to already think about the resale value of the item.

So this excludes all colors for everything. Black, white, gray everything.

juggertao··on How the placenta evolved from an ancient virus (2020)
Umbrella Corporation is working on the innovative t-Virus for the next step in human evolution. But people FUD it.
juggertao··on Microsoft actions following attack by nation state actor Midnight Blizzard
They mention it was a password spray guess.
juggertao··on System76 Thelio Major Powered by AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Series Performance
The $10K system cost I mentioned is not for the review unit, but for a cheaper configuration with a Radeon RX 7600 GPU ($250). See last page.
juggertao··on System76 Thelio Major Powered by AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Series Performance
The system is $10k, the CPU costs $5K, the rest of components at most $3K, so I guess that means $2K profit on each system?
juggertao··on Driver hack lets you run Linux after Windows BSODs, no reboot required
That means you're not doing anything interesting with it :P
juggertao··on Comparing the 1970's Cray-1 supercomputer against the Raspberry Pi
> The first PC to reach the average Cray 1 Livermore Loops score is indicated as a 1994 100 MHz Pentium
juggertao··on We migrated our PostgreSQL database with 11 seconds downtime
It's a gov website. What are they going to do, sue themselves?
juggertao··on We migrated our PostgreSQL database with 11 seconds downtime
They mentioned they had a script which terminated all connections to the old database then changed the password.

But on the app side you typically don't cache DNS, that creates other problems like stale DNS.

juggertao··on Random Animations
You semi-randomly try stuff. Iterate on what's cool (genetic selection).

Also study the code of other animations to learn the general ideas and patterns.

juggertao··on AlphaFold Found Possible Psychedelics
Are there any protein based psychedelics?

I thought they are all small molecules.

juggertao··on AlphaFold Found Possible Psychedelics
How would that be passed down the genetic line?

Today's babies don't require psilocybin to become conscious.
