I can see both sides but the side of the experts can clearly do better here. “It’s too complex to explain to all you people” or “this isn’t really a problem, the documentary makes a mountain of a mole hill” aren’t good approaches. If you are an expert in a field you should have at least some ability to simplify the issue or point out the mitigating factors that the documentary missed.

The much more likely explanation here is that experts have a vested interest in looking smarter than some guy with a camera so they furrow their brows and talk about the complexities of the issue.

As an analogy, BitCoin is complex. Between its usage of a blockchain and energy usage and murky origin story with who knows who owning a large chunk from the get go. Yet you could probably explain the power consumption problem to someone pretty easily.
and the sad thing is government subsidize animal industry heavily :(
99% of ARM usage is done in little endian. all android & ios phones, all embedded boards that ship with linux, etc. are always configured in little endian.
I think it depends on the individual zoo. It's up to them to take part in conservation programs or to stick to keeping animals exclusively for display.

The one where I live has historically been a bunch of very desolate animal display cases, but they've committed to doing what amounts to a slow U-turn, and they have done quite well in that regard.

The old enclosures were clearly built to keep animals in plain view at all times. They've remodelled a lot of them since, and they're completely rebuilding some. There are times where you don't see a single great ape during a whole visit, because their new habitats have some caves and comfy areas hidden from view, with the result that especially the gorillas now appear to have quite a bit of fun interacting with visitors at the four separate points in their enclosure where that is possible and definitely seem much more relaxed than the previous generations (as far as I can tell, I'm no gorilla myself).

Certainly still worse than a life in their natural habitat, but they are part of a multinational conservation project and all their current gorillas were essentially sent to them via this project, with the end-goal of (as I understand it) having a viable captive gorilla population in zoos around the world so there is a "backup" in case the natural populations collapse. The living conditions they provide have earned praise from experts (for what that's worth, seeing they're not gorillas themselves, either).

They still keep their lions in a tiny, cruel pen, but they're building a new one currently that is supposed to be state of the art. Most monkeys have gotten new accomodations last year I think and they're pretty involved in keeping Kunekune pigs from going almost extinct a second time and they're breeding Visayan Warty Pigs (which are absolutely amazing things, and critically endangered); I guess for a relatively provincial central European zoo with a limited budget, that's quite decent.

They've also recently completed a pretty big section with heirloom breeds of common farm animals and they do a lot of education programs and events for schools, which I feel is something my generation missed out on big time, not necessarily from a zoo, but some kind of getting in contact with animals other than the occasional cat or dog might have been quite helpful. I feel there are some really weird misconceptions about animals that are pretty widespread among people my age.

For what it's worth, I've been quite opposed to that zoo in the past, but their efforts over the last decade or so have been enough to convince me to pay for a year pass. Some zoos are much slower adopting this approach, I surely wouldn't be as supportive of one of those.

No, there no possible scenario where any animal livestock reduces GHG emissions. It's basic physics.
After reading articles last year on Linus insinuating it would be "unlikely" that Linux would appear on the M1 [1] [2], I drank the cool-aid and took that at face value.

I guess I should have known better, just like nature, open source "finds a way".

A decade has to past first. Most start ups don't last 5 years. Statistically speaking he's right and if he's not, well, a project that lasted 10 years ought to be profitable so pay up. Not profitable? Then who cares that cloud lock-in broke the camels back. If it wasn't profitable enough to justify the investment needed to switch to another vendor then it wasn't profitable enough to begin with.
Can you get your money out? As far as I know these prices are entirely notional, or maybe you can get only scam money (Tether) for your Bitcoin.
Great post! I really enjoy reading about these types of DIY projects. Looking forward to your next update. (And congrats on the news of your triplets)!
>Newspapers has this power before.

Correct, and it was recognized how important their role was, there were/are laws specifically covering what they could say about political subjects, whether they had to grant opposing views a platform, etc.

None of that exists for the newer platforms today.
It's very easy to get distracted as a developer on something that adds little to no value. You will do this repeatedly throughout your career. Try not to :)

It may also depend how much you're micromanaged vs. picking your own path. Sounds like you're saying none of your work is self directed, and you don't participate in design decisions yet?

Anyway, even if you don't have much say there's still ways to direct your work. You can push back against whatever is demanding the low value work.
Good on you for trying
> But that's just the beginning of the radicalization pipeline. No reasonable person just starts on Rush.

This sounds more plausible. However, it's in direct conflict with the claim "I can pinpoint it to exactly when my dad started listening to Rush Limbaugh".

I feel that there's a whiff of "Reefer Madness" in the hysteria against partisan media, as if mere exposure will drive unsuspecting innocents mad.
Couldn't we have an open-messaging standard so that different apps can send messages to each other? Similar to open banking in the UK (law). Of course, the big players won't want that, but the smaller ones could start it.
One could also argue that there was an earlier failure(s) of the system if people reach the point of having to protest to feel like they're being heard. So the protestors already see the police as yet another force trying to silence them which definitely strains that relationship. I think the issue here is that the protestors don't want to talk to police; they want to talk to the political/legal/social people in power to listen to their complaints. So the police are seen like a 3rd-party summoned by the people in power to stop the protestors and the situation is worse when the protests are about the police itself.
You thought Woz was Canadian?

It's the guys name. Using ones own name cannot be linkbaity or misleading.
This is the best explanation of linux in terms of where it sits with respect to other operating systems. I've had a pretty similar experience as yourself with linux on laptops. Sometimes there are surprises, especially when upgrading, but nothing that the community can't handle. And usually the experience is much better with linux than Windows. I bought a Win8 machine last year and the wifi stopped working due to a bad driver. At the time I thought it was bad hardware, but under linux it worked flawlessly. Just recently, with the latest win8.1 updates, the wifi started to work again. Yeah, yeah, I know, the windows apologists will blame the wifi manufacturer, anyone but Microsoft. I got you. BUT... it worked for me under linux!

"If you are looking for a locked-down consumer appliance of a computer then linux really isn't for you." LOL, I was going to say, what about chromeOS? That's a locked down distro based on linux. Luckily it is very easy to install a linux distro on it, as I have. You can have the best of both worlds, a locked down simple to use computer, and a tweak to your heart's delight linux distro.
Why would the Woz have a .ca domain? That tipped me off that this might not be him.
All artists are in marketing, sales, and so on, and always have been.

Let's take The Beatles. Sure, they captured the zeitgeist and handled the songwriting and performance duties, but they had an incredibly skilled support network that produced and engineered their records, made sure that people knew who they were and got the best deals for live gigs, distribution, etc, etc.

Dali relied on an entire ecosystem of galleries, museums, critics, curators and collectors.

Whatever concept of "lone genius" you're envisioning is pure fantasy.
>> resume didn't work

I still sometimes have to use Windows for work and resume/hibernate works about half the time. The other half I have to power reset it. That's with HP, Dell and Lennovo running Windows 7.

FYI:

I'm guessing here but I bet the picture for sleep/hibernate ain't all rosy for Macs either.
I've tried Ubuntu on a Dell XPS 13, certified for 12.04. It was acceptable, resume didn't work. But Webex doesn't work and GitLab BV customers use it, so I bought a MPB yesterday.
It looks great, congrats on shipping.

Maybe an option to email an auth token in case the cookie is lost so you can continue editing? Or maybe just a password/key.
I definitely clicked and read the entire article only because I thought it was written by Woz. I agree, it is link-baity and misleading.

I'd love to see this statement biting them in the behind with mass migrations to better alternatives, like it happened with whatsapp recently.

Freedom means some people will do stuff you don’t like.
The us does not need new fighter jets. The current generation drones is enough.
If the us needs something it is cheaper and better air to air missiles. Not that there is anyone to fight anyways.
A drone with 2 guided missiles that can be lost with no human casualty is allot better than any human carrying fighter aircraft could every be. And it does not have to be fast cause 1. the missiles are fast 2. it does not matter if the drone is lost.
Reader mode is available (at least on FF version 85). There is a headphone icon appears on the upper left of the page and allows you to set the reading speed and choose from a bunch of different voices.
If it were a phone, I would agree. But laptops are much roomier, and the space lost is probably negligible.
"Right to work" is American euphemism for your employer being able to fire you at will for no cause
My question was trying to probe at Op's belief in value of btc being 0 and at what point they'd question it.

If BTC was more stable and you'd like it then, it implies you are likely a late stage investor here. Volatility comes with price discovery. The publicity and speculation come and go but build on each other over time. We're conflating the short term volatility and hype cycles with long term value, and if you only focus on the former it is like missing the forest for the trees (my opinion).

I am not a BTC purist, and think Eth has its place too. If that connects with you better, cool! Who knows if BTC will die and ETH is the future of crypto. ETH is more volatile objectively, but if your belief in ETH makes you hold through the cycles, more power to you.

Tangentially: I've noticed that when you turn off application notifications via android settings, that setting is also saved in cache. That seems odd to me, because it is set from outside the application.

The entire pandemic has been politicized, science be damned when it doesn't conform to a political narrative.
It's a sign of how crazy our society is that you have to work this hard to frame (and justify) a question that is essentially, "How do I reverse the coercive impact companies have on wage to get more of the real value of my time?"
Still exploring, but first thing I'm going to try is non-audible data over sound. (Like the ringtones).
I think defending against pirates would be economically feasible through private security. The more serious problem would be defending against aggressive states.

Real political progress would entail policies like legalized drugs, freedom of information and ideas, physical currency, etc. that would likely raise the ire of powerful states.

Like the article says, these kinds of political experiments have the potential to act as competition toward established nations. Sadly, I think that nations would realize this and attempt to preempt the challenge through force if they could, this being their main advantage.
Another politician attempting to twist the issue. The issue is that Large ISPs have a monopoly on internet pipelines.
Sure. Interesting how confident you are in this assumption - there are plenty of audiophiles who claim they can definitely night and day hear the difference in 2 brands of speaker cable. So presumably you've blind tested yourself and are definitely sure it's not bias, or wishful thinking, or feeling special because you've got the real deal.

The AXE FX II models the differences with tube amplification that you're talking about.

I also don't like that quote any - by the logic of that quote MP3s and CDs are equally rubbish recordings that have no room for expression? Or are we only extending it to what suits your view?

There are a vast number of ways to customise a real tube amp (I've owned a Mesa Boogie Mark IV) and an Axe FX II (which I currently own.) A poorly setup mesa vs. one that's been carefully configured will be night and day as well. Did you factor that in? Was there a tone match? Actually the Axe FX doesn't claim to emulate particular models precisely in many cases (see http://wiki.fractalaudio.com/axefx2/index.php?title=Amp:_all...)

My point is you dismiss it as if you can know for sure - go do some blind testing where these factors are taken into account (you can start with a skeptic's view at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EtxHlJ2FPo) and then see if your certainty is affected.

Finally, Metallica have chosen to do all live shows using only Axe FX's. So obviously you know better than this small band who barely tour.

I know HN is basically turning into the new reddit, but comments like these where you just make a statement and then act as if it's established then go on to quote some guy really make me wonder whether reading the comments section is going to continue to depress me forever at this point.
Few people pay cash for the full price of a home. Most people get a loan a do a 3-20% down payment and can easily lose 1/2 or even all of that on a quick sale.
Personal training, like hair cuts, is a non-tradable service.

But, this is part of the value of personal training. You're not going to miss your work out if you lose a hundred bucks by not going.

Also, there's value in motivation as well. Having someone there to push you to get those extra one or two reps is another big part of the value add of a personal trainer.

This is really cool, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the product evolves going forward. Props to Mr. Eldeeb for his amazing journey and the beginnings of an interesting startup. Sounds like the pressures of running a company might be a cakewalk compared to the rest of his life!
Sir, I'm dismayed to learn that you have developed an addiction to the InterWebs. I would have expected the business model of said Webs (arrant nonsense + commcercial surveillance) to repel you as it repels any civilised mind.

That said, I personally have learned nothing from the Economist either. Wodehousian style or not.

I recommend Stephen Leacock. Yours etc...
I also used Flask and I wasn't a Django fan. But this got me on larger projects, when Django and his "Batteries Included" made sense. Now I will soon think about the size of the project in advance, and based on that I will choose Django or Flask.
There really is not something wrong here. Everything has its pros and cons.
On a virology podcast I started listening to after Covid started the hosts were, early on, mocking a woman for wearing a medical mask on a plane. I really think it was mostly cognitive dissonance at the heart of it. If masks worked we would use them, we don't use them, therefore masks don't work. They rationalized reasons why wearing a mask was actually dangerous but you could just hear them making up their justifications in real time and they didn't make much sense.

Also, a huge amount of our day to day behavior is driven by habits and norms which we later rationalize when questioned. Even with good arguments you need early adopters out there being visible to shift norms. Visible success or high status adopters can be important too.
I understand that designing a real-time billing system is near impossible.

But couldn't Google/Amazon simply pretend they have real-time bill capping, and then simply swallow the costs incurred by any delays?

Doesn't seem like rocket science, probably won't cost much, and might bring in new kinds of business (a lot of businesses won't allow most employees to sign an effectively blank check)
I think that is a very charitable assumption about the GP claim. The linked article describes a very specific implementation vulnerability around handling of offline messages that would appear to be routed in user experience being ranked higher than operational security by WhatsApp (understandably). In this case it also does notify the user once they are online, and the original phone is logged out alerting the compromised user.

The GP claim is far broader that all E2E communication can be compromised without user awareness permitting ongoing communication between two unaware parties to be monitored.

> E-ink, the company, holds the patents of the pigment core tech that makes "paper-like" displays possible and strongarms the display manufacturers and the users of their displays to absolute silence. Any research project or startup that comes up with a better alternative technology gets bought out or buried by their lawyers ASAP.

Wow, that is a very serious allegation. But I googled and googled and googled, and found not even one such lawsuit. I also see competing tech like Clearink. Could you show us proof that what you claimed about "buried by their lawyers" is actually occurring?
Welcome to the dueling value systems of labor since feudalism I guess? But the “force” used by labor wasn’t violent, just large scale solidarity.
QM does have some impact on functional biochemistry, but I highly doubt its enough to make the system nondeterministic at any appreciable level. Not to mention, do we truly know that any part of QM is nondeterministic? Perhaps the nondeterministic appearance of QM is just our lack of understanding combined with our limited perspective.
Is anyone really doing serious deep learning locally on a laptop these days? I think being able to play with some models is great to be able to do locally, and then you'd probably deploy to your remote setup for the production size training / deployment. I don't feel like this wasn't much of a loss.

Density doesn’t matter right up until you hit the limits of what the highways will handle. Then you’ll suddenly wish you’d built dense enough for light rail to alleviate the load on common routes.
Obviously, when comparing different methods of computation with negligible cache/memory footprint, I'd run it on hot caches to maximize the visible effect on the implementation. File here was about 1.5 GB on a 4GB RAM machine, and I repeated each test to have a stable duration for each.

Would I have tested, say, different patterns of data access (reading files sequentially, parallel read from multiple disks/partitions), of course I would have made sure that either caches are cleared (/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches), datasets will exceed memory, and actual CPU load of the algorithm is according to the real-world-usage scenario (pure read() throughput is meaningless when CPU is bogged, and L1-3 caches swamped by actual algorithmic work).

Re: your additional tests: Interesting, what python-version and size of files are you running it on?
