Well, there's no way we don't watch that scene from The West Wing. I'll let the inimitable CJCS Admiral Percy Fitzwallace briefly explain the concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=841qG6VM0UI&t=79s

This is really cool!
Prof. Steve Brunton's YT channel is a treasure trove of material for you folks, with course-like playlists for controls, data-driven engineering, and dynamical systems: https://www.youtube.com/@Eigensteve/playlists
He should be a featured creator, much like 3b1b is for math!

Define acronyms the first time they appear.
Agreed! The term CLA wasn't even defined in the article. I had to look it up.
PSA: CLA is Contributor License Agreement

This is a fascinating insight into a subsystem which we take from granted and naively assume is homogeneous. Thank you so much for sharing.
A request to the community - I am particularly interested in the Apple M1 Ultra. Apple made a pretty big fuss about the transparency of their die-to-die interconnect in the M1 Ultra. So, it would be very interesting to see what happens with it - both on Mac OS and (say, Asahi) Linux.
This is a wonderful article! Thank you to the author for taking the time to write and animate all this.
I want future generations to have access this so I have to ask - how can I back up this page with all of the interactive 3D animations still operational? Simply saving the HTML file doesn't seem to work.

I am part of a 40+ author team that published this perspective article. In this work, we discuss and recommend bio-inspired approaches that we believe are crucial to in our quest to create machine learning techniques that are capable of learning throughout their operational lifetime. This desired approach is much the same way humans learn as opposed to most current ML algorithms which having training and inference phases.
It would be a thrill to hear the HN community's opinions and ideas as I continue this research.

I came here to post this, but searched to be sure that no one else had posted it. Ha! No idea is unique I suppose.
For anyone looking to get serious about bookmarking, Zotero is a serious alterntaive to traditional bookmarking since it snapshots webpages being stored as a reference. Then, I considered writing about using it as a bookmarking tool, but someone else has written about that too: https://copingmechanism.com/2021/using-zotero-as-a-bookmarki...

Those costs aren't all borne by corporations, just the profits. The cost is the cost of public schooling of the children that invent these things, the invention and development of internet partially funded by DARPA that allows quickly conveying scientific information these companies use, the millinia of scientific research that precedes the invention.
The corporation then benefits from regulatory capture, and insanely high regulatory barriers to lock away less capitalized competitors from introducing their own unique drugs. Those who can afford the insane regulatory costs then can squeeze consumers dry.
Open up a maximally free market for pharmaceuticals and watch these snakes die. If I want to GC/MS some shit I bought out of some guys basement to check purity myself then let me.
Even in academia, where most research originates and matures before being sold to corporations, the vast majority of research is tax-payer funded. I wholeheartedly agree with you stance. It's unsurprising that these regulatory barriers keep all but the wealthiest corporations out of the market considering that big pharma and insurance account for significant share the donor-base of most politicians in the United States.
Tax base funds the work, donor base collects the rewards.
