Gelsinger is a weird dude. Back in the late 1990's (early 2000s?) he had the pope bless a wafer which he then claimed was extended to the a fab. We were all a little uncomfortable about it when he announced it during a BUM (internal Business Update Meeting) like why does god care if our fabs will be successful because he met the pope? He always would bring his religion to work and it made everyone uncomfortable. (And the dude only has a honarary PHD, like Mike Tyson.)
What a joke. Anthropic could just train a few more times on the Bible.
Matthew 22:36-40 (emphasis mine), "Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
Note the "as thyself" part. This part counters people who want to interpret "love" as "romantic love". Unfortunately, Catholic priests and many (fake?) Christians seem to not care about the "as thyself" part.
Asimov’s favorite overarching theme is that whenever you try to constraint robot/AI ethics with rules, creative misinterpretations or misunderstandings tend to have outsized impact.
It exists so there's a way to respond to demands like 'no criticizing Israel', or 'Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory', or double negatives like 'no not agreeing to automated droning'.
Because if you do not have a way to agree with these, your business can and wil be targeted and shut down.
I'm not an expert in autism or the autism community but I was under the impression that the puzzle piece mostly represents Autism Speaks, a group which much of the community does not care for. As I understand it many don't care for the way that Autism Speaks treats those with autism as children regardless of age or capability and many find it patronizing if not outright insulting.
Hey, how awesome you live in an area where you have a choice of ISPs and can dismiss one that doesn't meet your spec, rather than having to simply shut up and eat what you're served!
I should dismiss my ISP that's worked for something like 20 years, works now, and will in all likelyhood still be working in 20 years (baring M&A nonsense or the apocalypse)?
Sorry, IPv6 is absolutely not the hill I'm going to die on.
I'm not "voting against" anything. I genuinely done care and don't need to. I don't need IPv6, never had a single thing I needed[1] not work being IPv4 only, and moving just so I can prove "I have satisfied camgunz edict that nothing other than IPv6 can possibly work" isn't grounded in reality.
Those billions can move right along doing what they're doing. They don't bother me; I don't bother them (other than you, it seems). Considering how "IPv6 exclusive" has worked for the last 25 years, I'm quite confident I'll be dead before I reach the point of caring about it (and even if I make it, I'm equally confident I'll be able to manage both stacks).
This sort of tiresome sophistry really gets old. "But what about camgunz nearly religious need to pretend IPv6 is the One True Way and all others are heretical" is not more relevant to the wider world than "but what about kjs3's ISP".
[1] Emphasis on "that I need". I'm a network engineer and architect. Passed tests even. I've done IPv6 in prod, and I can contrive all sorts of "that only works if you're IPv6 only" scenarios and have had to work around some of them. They aren't relevant to my ISP or me.
If you don't personally throw a Molotov cocktail at your ISP after spray painting "IPv6 MOTHERFUCKERS" on their door I will downvote everything you post on HN for 2 years. Some people talk a big game; I walk it.
I'm not signing up for a new contract with a different company to get the same speeds at higher price and IPv6 that is pretty much useless as many major websites don't even work with it. It will take at least another 15 years before I will consider using IPv6 at home.
Not only that, but not everyone will even have any other choices. The last apartment I was in literally only had one ISP option; I literally would check every six months or so with other ISPs that were in the area because of the fairly frequent outages, and every time they all said that they couldn't offer me service at my address. (This didn't stop them from filling my mailbox with spam all the time though of course). This was in New York (the city), so it's not like there weren't half a dozen other ISPs operating within a few blocks of me.
I can't take seriously the claim that someone would literally refuse to move into an apartment purely on the basis of not having IPv6 support. Bad internet in general? Sure, that's plausible; I work from home, and like I said, the outages were annoying, and if there were no decent speed options my (now) wife and I might have ruled it out? But literally just the lack of IPv6? That's an absurd reason to pick another place to live entirely.
any idea why no one else could service the building? Ive usually had option of verizon or optimum when ive rented, though my experience has been queens and long island
Optimum was the one option we had. This was in Brooklyn (Park Slope specifically, so pretty high density). My vague understanding is that Verizon wasn't hooked up to the building, but I have no idea why that would be. I only wish they managed to recognize that when sending out advertisements.
Ah okay, i wonder if the dilemma was on verizon side or building owner side
if verizon charges to connect the building and couldnt make an agreement with the owner. or maybe owner has non financial reasons (laziness & indifference) for denying them. or maybe some operational reason verzion wasnt confident in ability to install
If I'm reading correctly, it only prevented new agreements going forward rather than penalizing the old ones, and of course the fact that the FCC's party line split will tilt in favor of the current president at some point every turn means that this might not even be policy anymore (and that's before even taking into account that the current administration doesn't exactly follow precedents around administrative agencies).
It's neither here nor there but can I ask about the name? I only ask because when I see "numa" in relation to computing I immediately think "Non-Uniform Memory Access".
Very cool project by the way. I wonder how this would run on an OpenWRT device.
I see in your install.sh that you support Linux and Darwin/MacOS, do you think there would be any major hurdles in supporting FreeBSD?
When you've capitalized the N in "Numa", it's a lot more obvious to my brain you don't mean the acronym. But this is nitpicky bikeshedding and maybe I'm weird :)
"In case it is not already obvious, efficiency and sensibility were not a top priority when working on this project. I am sure there are more efficient flip- flop designs or implementations with fewer transistors, especially by building composite gates that combine NAND and NOR gates, but I don't really care :)"
There is absolutely no need for this to exist in physical form. It is perfectly alright to run this on a simulation in Logisim Optimize as long as you desire and then once that is done, implementing it in physical form is just a matter of assembling it, which mostly can be done by many print pcb and solder on demand services.
