Ebola back in the Congo πŸ”—

Local officials cite COVID measures RE why they can't really do much about it right now. Considering how they really couldn't do much about it last time either, that sounds more like a convenient excuse. Regardless, nations with good sanitation really don't seem to have all that much to fear from Ebola.

HAHAHAHA, the statists continue to footgun.

EDIT: You may feel strange about this reaction considering the above take. "You miss a critical point initiate" -- Roasting on losers always has it's place. Gotta get those social flexes in somehow.

Why you should stop consuming most "news" πŸ”—
1598253044  


While some interviewees seemed resigned to feeling they could do little to influence politics, others found it frustrating β€” almost as though political news coverage were rubbing their noses in issues over which they had no control. Many saw avoiding political news as part of a larger strategy for managing their emotions. Rather than engage with news that would leave them feeling sad about the state of the world and frustrated about their own impotence to change it, they chose to conserve their emotional energy to focus on their own problems.
Anything that doesn't help you with your own problems is worthless to you. Most of this site is really just writing practice for me; which is why there are long stretches where I don't post here.

I like that they also covered resistance to so called "good" watchdog journalism; as who and what they cover ends up telling you everything you want to know. Even the Journalists can't really attack the biggest targets because the attack will bounce off and there's no money in it. So Journalism can only change things that don't matter.

Awaken to Censorship... with JP πŸ”—
1598187799  



The silicon valley bobbleheads continue to imitate Plaxico Burress with their censorship efforts. As usual, the centralized control is *what* prompts society to decentralize. This was true with the early internet and is happening now for Gen Z, even if individuals from other generations lead the charge.

Turkey: Let's invade Greece πŸ”—
1598187429  


Truly, the last refuge of the scoundrel. Hilariously, will likely only pour fertilizer on groups like Golden Dawn or other megalist factions. Precisely not the kind of thing Turkey should want regarding dealing with Greeks. A paralyzed and weak Greece benefits them, not a Greece drunk on past glory with an aim to restart Rome in the 21st century.

Intel tone-deaf wrt AVX512 criticisms as expected πŸ”—
1598187414  


Best commentary:
Mainstream processors can effectively use AVX-512 .. in about 5 years

The entire thing was born out of the larabee project, when that project was about rendering. What Intel found was that no matter what they did they could not feed that much data to the CPU without changing the cache architecture, and that such changes to the cache architecture would negatively effect regular performance with crushing memory latency.

So we end up in a situation where Intel knew that they would not be able to process entire AVX-512 registers in one go on all threads, so did not include the execution units necessary to do it even on a single core, let alone have the bandwidth to do it on all of them.

So as Linus rightly notes, the shit is more or less useless right now, and costs a lot of execution time because AVX-512 registers are enormous and like all registers need saving between context switches, saving that is slow because of that lack of bandwidth. A single AVX-512 register is as large as all the general purpose registers combined.
And another:
The drawbacks are less-clear, but very apparent: graphics cards are rated to 300 watts. You're now trying to stuff a portion of that processing power into the CPU, and back in the early 2010's, benchmarking showed this to cause the CPUs to run VERY hot. Much hotter, much more quickly than the heat sink could cool them. (I worked at a computer manufacturer -- running Prime95 with AVX instruction set would regularly cause problems.) Apparently, from other comments, the CPU also doesn't have the memory bandwidth to fetch the data quickly enough. Remember, graphics cards use High Bandwidth Memory now to supply up to 1500 shader cores. Really, with AVX, the memory bus can't keep up -- unless you're doing thousands of iterations over the same, cached data, you can do one instruction and then you have to wait.
Just buy a GPU, dork

Horton interviews Taibbi on Russiagate πŸ”—

that’s a pretty that’s actually quite a funny subplot two this whole thing is how the whole Office of Net Assessment thing works. You know, it appears to be just a way to funnel money to informants and other people who are useful to the government. And essentially what they do, and I actually talked to some people who contributed to some of these reports, the ONA will pay somebody like $50,000 for a report on say China’s position in the world right now, right? And, and what the American will do is they will call up some person in a foreign country and offer them peanuts to put together basically a bunch of text around open source material, they send it back to him, he compiles it into a big document, sends it back to the Pentagon, does basically zero work and makes probably 10 times what the highest paid journalist in the world gets paid to do that same kind of stuff. So it’s pretty amazing. It’s amazing little subplot to the whole thing.
The world of government contracts is indeed a hilarious subplot

Junk Science in Police Interrogation πŸ”—

Hilariously, these criticisms also come at them *from* law enforcement circles too if you look at them. Joe Navarro's "What Every Body is Saying" pretty much crucifies the "Reed Technique" and other abortive techniques at reading body language, etc.

The problem is ultimately that the police are not actually looking for truth, instead looking to confirm what they already are thinking.

Work Chat: Fucking shit up as expected πŸ”—
1598182367  


Sitting among peers at a gathering a few years ago, an exasperated Silicon Valley CEO seemed ready to get rid of Slack. β€œIt’s one of my biggest regrets,” he said.

The app was fueling drama inside his company, and he wondered aloud whether it was worth the trouble. From a few feet away, I was surprised to overhear anything other than the often-repeated mantra that Slack would replace email. Yet since then, more executives have privately confessed concerns about how workplace chat apps were upending their cultures.
