The Switch is the first console that has me excited about gaming in nearly a decade. A relative brought it over during a vacation and we had tons of fun playing Mario Kart.

The last time I was excited for a game was Age of Mythology back in 2002.

Nintendo solves the biggest complaint I have with modern games: they just take themselves way too seriously. So many are just trying to become wish fulfillment vehicles instead of actually being fun.

I don't care about story or sitting through 10 minute cut scenes. I don't have that kind of time or patience. If I wanted story, I'd watch HBO and get far better stuff.

I just want to launch and have fun for 30 minutes.

Nintendo gets that.
How Will You Measure Your Life? (Book Review)
> Intel's problem is that their CPUs were performance focused and as such didn't scale down as well

Don't know the first thing about electronics, but I am interested to learn more about what you meant here. Highly-optimized code (usually) isn't too readable or extendable, are you saying Intel has the same problem with their processor's design?
Backpropagation algorithm visual explanation
From the quoted tweet in the article: "I said that ICL should be taken to 14nm++, everybody looked at me like I was the craziest guy on the block, it was just in case".

Imagine if Intel were two companies, Intel Design and Intel Manufacturing. This wouldn't have arisen - Intel Design would have produced the new ICL design and could have worked with Intel Manufacturing and TSMC on how to build it, ultimately using TSMC if IM couldn't make it.

Exactly coming from outside of EU you can become a resident of EU state that has simplest procedure and yet after that you are able to work and live in any EU state which makes immigration to EU trivial compared to US.
Can't say that's my experience, buying from the EU. They can take a while, but I've only had a no-show once.
It is doable if the hardware supports it well. Especially with virtual machines. However it is expensive to implement and thus even high end consumer mainboards have problems today. (try passing
through a GPU)

And unless you have multiple CPUs or can ensure the cores do not interact in unexpected ways, you essentially have to accept the cost, remain vulnerable (and eat the worms) or replace the hardware with something fixed.
you cannot... you cannot... cannot

You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Because people have been doing it since the 1980s...
> IMHO less people should default to using a database upfront. At least while protyping the idea.

Surely it should be the opposite? While you're prototyping you should use a DB by default, then switch to your own implementation if you find out that it will speed things up (and you need that speed). It's not like the code that you would replace a DB with is going to be trivial, using a DB is going to keep the code simple until you need it to be complex.
One very simple reason is that they tell their service provider that "No" they don't want the brilliant new anti-whatever service it's offering by tampering with DNS queries.

Alas "No" isn't an option for that public WiFi access point you're using, or most mobile service, or your mom's Internet, the average corporate workplace, and so on. So even though this is hardly foolproof it makes a huge difference.
Interestingly I learned Python by creating scripts to automate certain tasks in runescape - although I kept all the money on the account as I didn't want to cheat the game, I just wanted to make a good enough program that wouldn't get caught by their bot detection system.

It's a really fun game - if you're ever bored, you should check it out again! They have an 'old school runescape' which is essentially how the game was in 2007, without the later changes. Definitely 10/10 nostalgia.
I think the evidence begs to differ:

A few years ago I used Trello to keep track of my tasks for the day in a Kanban board separated by date. I had a large backlog of tasks and then a "Due this Month" "Due this Week" "Due Tomorrow" and "Due Today" sections.

First I wrote code that automatically moved cards between the different sections, so I only ever had to look at the "Due Today" list.

Then I used Twilio to build a bot that gave me a wake up call every morning. I didn't like the TTS that Twilio used so I generated more realistic TTS via Amazon Polly and played it back. Polly has many different voices so I had seven different personas give me my task list for the day. After it read out what I had to do, it then began playing the latest BBC News update right over the phone.

The final phase of this project was a bot that called my girlfriend at the time, told her the weather, and then called me and conferenced us together so we could start our day saying hello to one another.

From a senior management perspective, eBay is run like a private-equity backed portfolio company. No offense to PE firms, but eBay has the feel of being more worried about costs and makes very little investment in long-term growth--as if the owners just want to turn a profit and sell the company before the debt comes due.

This is why the UI is horrible and, in general, the site feels stuck somewhere in the early 2000s. Perhaps this is also why the company culture is broken and somewhat dishonest. They have frequently engaged in dramatic policy shifts when someone got the idea that the bottom line could be enhanced. In these cases, they are capable of totally disregarding their ecosystem (especially sellers and affiliates). Worse, they would outright lie about their intentions, which I suppose they felt necessary for placation when completely screwing over their "partners".

eBay has long had a certain toxic nature, including an almost uncanny ability to leave customers and partners feeling disappointed, if not outright cheated at some point. Whatever the shortcomings of the people who participate in their marketplace (including scammers), they are amplified by eBay, whose resolution policies essentially amount to doing as little as possible. This is what people are reporting as disappointment when they've needed an issue resolved.

I am amazed that people still use eBay.
The idea seems ok, but let's do this in practice. High costs, small efficiency. Especially I like to think about what happens if one part breaks. Now you just have to change the wheel, but in this case, you would have to spend precious time while getting to the problem and then fixing it. Seems really unpractical.
That makes sense. Though, with Waymo/Cruise/etc (that are still in the testing phase - at least compared to groups like Uber and Tesla), is there any documentation on why they disengaged?

Personally (again, anecdote, but still) I've seen many, many people who, when brought to a new situation while driving, will begin to panic and ultimately stop in the middle of traffic... Often during rush hour. I can imagine that the systems driving these cars could be put in to a similar position (remember the bicyclist and the Waymo car?) and need human intervention to continue.

Not that big part at all, you can change these settings at will. Sharing the CPUs (overcommiting) is probably out of the question though.

Just most VM management UIs lack the functionality.

GPU passthrough is special because they have weird initialization and shutdown handling. Plus are chunky (all our nothing) until SR-IOV variants become commonplace.
CPU cores don't have these problems.
This is interesting, but shows some of the problems with the word "secure"

The app. promises to be more secure than OpenSSH and provides a number of reasons why it thinks it will be.

However the site is entirely anonymous, so you have no idea who wrote this tool and what their affiliations or background are. So either you audit the code to get some assurance, or you trust the author(s) without any evidence.

Also the lack of any form of signed binaries would make me a little nervous from a security focused tool. You're then not only trusting the author(s) but their web hosting providers as anyone with access to that webserver can change the binary without it being obvious that they have.
I agree, but not when it comes to self driving vehicles. For those better than normal wheels is enough. There's no way to change a brocken wheel anyway.
These things seem to happen with humans too.

But what you're asking leads directly to the question being asked here! How long would something have to drive for before you believe me it's unlikely to do one of those things? Is it even possible for me to do this?
Having it in all Linux/Unix default repos would certainly help?

If you have the ability to live in space long enough to cover the vast distances between stars, why would you bother colonizing planets at all? Pretty much all the raw material you need is readily available in asteroids without having to deal with a steep gravity well or a thick atmosphere, and the star itself will give you plenty of energy to work with.

Pretty much every star system becomes habitable if you don't have to care about whether or not it has a planet that meets your species's environmental needs.

I automated my bedroom lights in a house share. I have 3 lights: the main cieling and 2 more which are a floor standing and a desk light. For sensors, I have a magnet door switch and a PIR sensor to detect direction of travel (enterring or leaving the room) and a photocel sensor to detect day/night).

The main lihht turns on for 1.5 minutes, then the other 2 switch take over for 'chilled' lighting. If i leave, the lights go on a timer for 10 minutes. If the PIR doesnt pick up movement, or i have not returned, the lights go off. When going to sleep, i have an acarde button as a master switch to either turn on chilled lights or off.

The lights are controlled with 5v relay switches. No intrusive adjustment were made to the main light, as i bought male / female bayonet socket to wire/ wire to bayonet socket adapters.

An Arduino is controlling the whole thing, and the wire used is cheap RGB 4 pin wire off ebay which is i belive 24gauge?

Today's cars are so much more complex than old cars. Yet almost all of them are much more reliable than old cars.

I don't think simple == reliable.

A wheel made of solid wood is very simple. But the choice of material is poor.

So there are a lot more factors involved to make something reliable.

Getting stuck in the dirt might be more dangerous than a wheel with 1000 parts that gets you out of a nasty situation.

Also: people assume that these new tires are going to replace all tires. But I think this is just a extra tool in a big toolkit.
The pessimistic view is that people become so apathetic that the dictator thing (blindly letting other people lead you) starts happening in government as well, instead of harmless restaurant choices.

Great story, keep it up! Often there is a misconception that if you do not exercise - you will not lose weight. Once again - diet is the key part.

Haha that's awesome, there was quite a community for it back in the day. I actually log on to oldschool once in a while for the nostalgia, though I do not bot it anymore.

This is off topic, but I love/hate the system where all new content must pass a community poll.

Important to note, that only with metabolism of a young male, it is possible to lose weight without exercise. I am 37 and restricting my calorie intake helps, but not greatly. Exercising daily - helped a lot. Most women of 30+ must exercise to lose weight - metabolism is completely different.
By this logic doctors are murderers whenever they perform an operation and the patient dies, all equipment manufacturers that make something that's ever resulted in a death are murderers, all engineers of bridges that collapse under extreme conditions are murderers.

I have always had a sneaking suspicion that the time scale on which we seek answers is far too narrow for answers to be found. Is it not likely that the period during which advanced civilizations actually exists is so short that they never cross each other's paths?

Tassel Necklace
The curious thing I'm learning about investors reacting to revealed disasters (caused by poor risk management) is, they don't seem to care as long as the long term story is there . A couple of examples:

* The INTC bugs came out around the beginning of the year, but if you zoom out you can barely tell. It was 34 a year ago and it's 52 today.

* FB fell around 6pct for the CA privacy news, to 152, and then a little for the EU hearings, but it's back in spades to over 200 now.

As long as you provide a plausible hole in the sand, it seems the market will gladly stick its head there and ignore whatever us nerds are FUDDing about.
It's a good start, but the problems with SSH lately have largely been things like timing attacks that even the smartest compiler won't catch.

In fact a smart optimizing compiler can make that even harder to avoid since it is more difficult to know exactly what machine code it will produce.

I do think the time is long overdue for IPR "property tax" as an anti-squatting measure and a defence against increasingly long copyright terms.

Disney making billions off Mickey Mouse? They can pay a tiny fraction of that and they can have their extension.

Novel by obscure dead author? Don't extend the copyright unless the estate wants to pay for it.

Abandoned and nobody to pay the tax? Enters the public domain.

All those defensive spurious patents? They impose a search cost on every single other innovator. There should be a carrying cost for the defensive patent wall.

You are mistaken - all life forms including humans obey the laws of physics. If you eat at a caloric deficit you will lose weight no matter your age or if you do exercise.
I understand that you and some others may block 3rd party fonts, but the percentage of people that do this has to be tiny, no? I’d venture it’s around the amount that block all JavaScript.

Sure you should have your sites work without JavaScript and probably host all your fonts. I personally do that usually, but from a building standpoint, I’m assuming 3rd party fonts or forcing JavaScript for a normal site is going to be fine for more than 95% of your users.
> The Milgram study, and its numerous replications, have pretty conclusively shown that most folks will do something they know is wrong if a perceived authority instructs them
to. That’s not really in dispute.

Actually, this has also seen some recent dispute. Here it is brought up as part of an old radiolab podcast: https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/180092-the-bad-show/

The Milgram study needs to be contextualised in that participants will follow the orders as part of a scientific experiment, when prompted by the experimenter. You can see this in the order of prompts they were given when showing hesitation:

1. Please continue.
2. The experiment requires that you continue.
3. It is absolutely essential that you continue.
4. You have no other choice, you must go on.

It would be interesting to see a similar experiment outside of a "this is for science" setting, although I'm not sure what that would look like and how unethical it would be.

I can't objectively answer, but I have played with previous Google Android devices and I generally think Google's design is awful, and the products feel cheap. The Pixel as a device looks a lot better, but I think Google's design is so universally terrible that I would never switch to them.

More generally, I would rather pay extra for a product that isn't based on advertising.
Really great data! Thank you for sharing.

The hard part for me is mindset and willpower. Unfortunately, knowing the physics* behind weight loss doesn't make it any easier, and perhaps might make it more stressful. Why can't I do this simple thing that logically is as complex as 2+2. Our minds have their own prerogatives.

I wonder then what did you tell yourself? How many times did you have a bad day? What was your mood like throughout? I'd love to know so much more about the psychology. Great article though and thanks again for sharing!

There are different design considerations when designing a CPU to run in a chilled data center vs your pocket. Intel was trying to make everything x86 from data center to pocket and that just wasn't going to work.
> claiming to be contractually entitled to hold people against their will unless they use an "explicit safe phrase" is nonsense to begin with, which is why I was hoping the rebuttal would address that argument

I agree, but at the same time safe-words exist for a reason. To allow people "playing the game" to tell what is a real out of character comment, and what is just part of the role. I honestly have no idea what the law says with respect to that. I think it's a tough area to play around in, and things can get real murky real quick.

(I'm talking quite generally wrt the concept around consent with safe words etc)
Exercise does not help weight loss.

Exercise is important, and people should exercise because they get benefits even if they don't lose weight, but you should stop saying it's useful to reduce weight.

We think that people heavily over-estimate the amount of calories burnt by exercise; they under-estimate the amount of calories they eat; and exercising gives people "permission" to eat more calories than they normally would.
