Rumor repeated on r/analog is that they have discontinued producing any film about a decade ago. What we're still buying is the stockpile they froze when caught with pants down by demand dropping by two orders of magnitude. The rumor nicely explains why it's the films that gained popularity that get discontinued first.
I don't understand what you are "disagreeing" on. What OP is saying: The new Macbooks are very expensive, and it has quality issues (keyboard). Neither is it user serviceable. Most of the product line is also out of date.

It's not about performance, which in the terms of Apple's latest hardware (that is, only part of their product line) is perfectly fine. Yes, a specced Macbook is fast, but that does not relate to anything by OP.
that's fun. https://imgur.com/a/bRhLp1M

I don't see the dependency on you provider as much as a problem as how you should know which provider will be there in five years.

Furthermore, running your own server isn't as easy as it should be. I run my own ejabberd with about 20 users (mostly family) since a few years now, but the configuration still gives me headaches. It is not as complicated as mail server, but still not as easy as providing the domain name and a certificate. Maybe ejabberd is just too powerful for small/simple installations.

Given a function from low-light to normal-light images, is it injective? That is, does more than one input produce the same output? If so, how many? And more practically, how different are they? Is it semantically injective?

One feature seems that low-level granular noise is smoothed away. One can imagine many instances of noise that would be appropriately represented by a smooth gradient. But there are also noisy patterns that average out to a gradient, that shouldn't be represented by a gradient, because they form some other pattern.

Unfortunately, an objective, rigourous measure of whether this system is semantically injective or not wpuld require a formal model of image interpretation... pretty much strong AI.
> it'll make people reconsider that genetics

Yes,

> and race affect intelligence

no.

To clarify: it’s extremely well established that genetics strongly affects intelligence [1]. Nobody in the field is denying (or ignoring) this. It’s just hard to exploit at the moment. But “race” is a different matter, and other people have written eloquently (e.g. [2]) about it so I won’t rehash the argument.

As a tl;dr: the social construct we call “race” has no relationship with genetic variability in humans. If somebody tells you otherwise, they don’t understand genetics. To put it simply, the labels “Black”, “Caucasian” or “Asian” don’t corresponds to our evolutionary heritage. Actual races (if we were to define them) would look something like “Bantu”, “Yoruba”, 10 more African races, and “pretty much all the rest” (see e.g. [3]).

Contrary to the frequent suggestion that science ignores race due to “political correctness”, this simply isn’t true (have you met scientists? they’re not generally known for being politically correct). Science is aware of race, but it’s an unhelpful concept for modern research.

And lets be honest — thinking back to how a typical game in Team Fortress 2 went — sometimes just the complete and utter satisfaction of having an awesome killing streak at the expense of a bunch of n00bs (and after such a round the server would automatically rebalance the teams, so everyone gets a chance to meet their match).
A reasonable hypothesis. I like it. I'm not a scientist, so I do not know how to specifically verify or disprove it, but my understanding is that the only way to be sure is to actually perform an experiment to check; removing or controlling for all other variables.

RNA is too short-lived (in the order of minutes to hours) to serve as a long-term memory. Muscle memory, despite the name, corresponds to changes in the brain structure. In a way muscle memory is the exact opposite: it’s a slowly learned, but long-lasting response. Whereas RNA memory, to the extent that it exists, is an immediate but short-lived memory.

I'd be very curious to see this applied to not just a single frame of video, but rather to the video as a whole. My assumption is that it would create a weird jitter to the parts of the image that have been recreated by the neural net.

I think what would be almost even more interesting is an algorithm like this that is specifically trained to video, and takes into account previous and next frames when recreating lost data.

So i know the rough subject it’s about.

I agree that the first / every mention of the product name can be a hyperlink that shows me more details/full product Website. Thats unintrusive for regular readers and gives full info at a click for new readers.

The battery consumption of Conversations with or without FCM is about the same. (Battery consumption in both cases depends on a lot of factors like frequency of messages, quality of network or even how often your operating system kills Conversations due to a lack of memory.

Wrong in the USA, criminal copyright infringement requires only that the purpose be commercial advantage or private financial gain; [17 USC § 506(a)] selling is obviously an example of this, but isn't the only possibility.
> I haven't checked, and apparently neither has anyone else.

Wait, how did you figure that out? Of course this has been checked. Here’s a review: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4446746/

Anyway, the tl;dr is that, at best, very short RNA fragments would survive being digested in vertebrates (but most likely not even that). This doesn’t preclude the transfer of information by RNA via food but it severely limits it.

Also, to reiterate the point I’ve made elsewhere: RNA is unstable and short-lived and therefore unsuitable as a long-term memory carrier. It can act as a short-term carrier under specific circumstances (and that’s arguably its main function in the cell anyway).

I didn't state that other laptops beat the shit out of a specced MacBook (though I am sure they exist). If I need performance, I will use a workstation or a server, they pack Xeon CPUs, CUDA-capable GPUs, etc. Moreover, their CPUs don't throttle under high load. For me, using a Mac for high-performance computing is a long-passed station.

My criticism was that MacBooks have become bad laptops for their price. They have a limited number of ports with USB-C, which is not well-supported yet. They keyboard has serious problems, which I don't assume to be a fluke, since I know multiple persons with stuck keys. They are not expandable. And macOS has regressed quite a bit in the last few years. Some of these problems are acceptable in isolation, but regressions are piling up.

Then there is crap like that the first generation of Apple's USB-C multi port adapters didn't actually support USB-3.0 transfer speeds, but contain a USB 2.0 hub. Back then I dropped 160 Euro on two adapters (this was before the MBP 2016-related price drop) to use my MacBook with existing screens, projectors, and USB devices. They give you a whole lot of crap about the transfer speeds, but sell you USB 2.0 adapters (!).

Again, I have been a Mac user for 10 years. In that time I probably bought 5 or 6 Macs, since for some time I used both a Mac Mini and a MacBook. For may years, they were so far ahead of the competition, it was not even funny (excellent suspend support in 2007, MagSafe, battery indicator LEDs, OS X was simply better). I was a strongly advocating Macs among friends and family. Unfortunately, I just can't do that anymore. The risk is too big that they get a flawed keyboard or that they are too frustrated with the 1/2/4 USB-C ports.
This is more of a list than an archive, because the download links are all external and most of them are inevitably going to die as time passes.

Still, it's a pretty cool idea. Would be even cooler if they also listed non-free operating systems even if it's just to maintain a list for future reference.
Why do you feel this article is hero worship?
Pretty much any professional laptop would let you configure it with 32 GB RAM and 4K screen and boy that screen makes a difference.

These days I'm one of those who uses MacBook because they have to, not because they love to. I remember getting my first MacBook ~12 years ago and being really happy while using it.

Now, it's rarely pleasant; to repeat what countless others have said:

a) This is my third MBP since 2016, other 2 died with keyboard issues (and I could not afford waiting for repairs). This third laptop already has "right arrow" and "C" keys skipping 20% presses.

b) Dongle hell: heck, I have to get a dongle to connect the latest iPhone X.

The claim was the complete opposite that almost any objectionable behavior is labelled as "toxic".

It is hence about as undescriptive as "liberal" is in American politics. That term many years ago had a well-defined narrow meaning but is now far removed from that (or like "literally" often meaning "figuratively" in common use ).
I'm perfectly fine reading about Feynman's scientific pursuits in full knowledge of these anecdotes, because they are interesting and he was a brilliant man, and I don't see him as any more flawed than any other human.

Good and Bad are loosely defined terms. I guess in this case it might be better to say “currrently socially unacceptable behavior which is considered selfish and harmful to others”.

But I would guess it’s probably possible to find data to support this.

Similar to a couple of the other replies, updating kubelet or the like tends to touch enough dependencies that it starts looking sensible to do updates as rolling VM re-provisioning and rescheduling tasks, so you just sidestep the lifecycle bit of a kubelet upgrade gone pear shaped.

I haven't had to touch any of that since February though, but I will be again soon. I hope kubeadm and its ilk have gotten better at handling the lifecycle of a long lived cluster. I've done all that in terraform (from scratch), and I'd really rather have a more standardized option that's not buy $HOSTED or $VENDOR solution.

University that want to retain computer science professors, especially those working in hot fields such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, will have to pay them well. The main problem may be political -- can they pay professors in different departments very different amounts?

One reason it is difficult to attact high school teachers who can teach computer programming well is that teachers' union contracts say that you have to pay gym teachers and CS teachers the same amount.
It's definitely changed and it happened slowly so we didn't notice at first. In the 90s and the early aughts the social fabric of the Internet was comprised of a number of small communities, each of which had a distinct membership and culture.

By the 2010's the big players had come along and supplanted these Internet communities. Facebook talks all the time about its "community" but it's more like a theme park which gets visited by billions of people, and your friends all hang out around one ride but so do a thousand other randoms. You'd have to be a PR spokesperson to look at that and call it a community.

All the big social networks employ this model of throwing everyone into the same arena but humans aren't wired to feel at home in that environment, so we get all these weird side effects like social media causing depression, loneliness, and the angst expressed by this writer.

Reddit is the only one that hearkens back to the old days a bit -- each community has local moderators and a somewhat distinct culture, but the corporate overlord is still there sanitizing, monetizing, and occasionally messing with people's posts.

I think the language issue is especially interesting, did we fail to recognize that our communities were dying because we lack a word for the thing that supplanted them?
