It's probably because Toronto, where he lives, has been around 27 degrees and 70% humidity the last few days. That's around 7 degrees and 20% humidity above the typical office climate of around 20 degrees and 50% humidity. That difference can result in roughly 20% lower dissipation power if the temperature at the heatsink is around 50-60 degrees which it appears to have been historically.

That 20% extra dissipation power might be enough to get it from 2.2 to 3 GHz considering the base clocks are usually where processors have the most efficient marginal frequency scaling.

IMO, designing the thermal solution + chip combination to reach base clocks at typical office climates seems reasonably smart/defensible because most places will be cooler than that most of the year even before AC.

I think it comes down to whether you are comparing to ideals, or regular life.

Yes, medications carry risk. But, "without a doctor's prescription" does not mean randomly. People still take advice from doctors and pharmacists, they just aren't required to have proof that a doctor has decided something. In any case, a pharmacist is a pharmacology specialist and probably more knowledgable about drug risk and safety than anyone.

>> makes pharmacists de facto community doctors.

Again, depends on the ideal you are comparing to. You are implying an ideal community doctoring setup, where a local doctor knows people and is accessible to them. An ideal that exists for maybe 1%-2% of the world. The problem that pharmacist/nurse led care solves is that this ideal does not exist. GPs are inaccessible, cost $75 for 10 minutes or don't have appointments available. A pharmacist probably sees someone every time they're sick. Doctors... only if it's bad.

I feel like this sort of issue comes up often, when discussing primary medicine. The comparison isn't fair. When listing the pros and cons of pharmacist or nurse led care, we get a laundry list of real life issues. When listing pros and cons of doctor led care, we get an idealisation. IRL, most GPs prescribing antidepressives do exactly as much "holistic care" as pharmacists would. Patient asks for ADs. Doctor spends 2-3 minutes going through a checklist. Done. Whether or not that's ideal has little to do with who writes the script.

Comparison is needed to address misdirected writes and bit rot in the very least, see "An Analysis of Data Corruption in the Storage Stack" [1]. You can't count on your drive firmware or RAID firmware to get this right. You need bigger end-to-end checksums, and you need to scrub.

The federal government has no right to do it anyways.

People forget the constitution was written to limit the power of the federal government, not the people.

Clarence Thomas discussed this in his dissent on Gonzalez vs Raich where homegrown medical marijuana was legally grown in California for personal use, but destroyed without due process, and with disregard to the fifth, ninth, tenth amendments, by the federal government.

In his dissent, Thomas complained that:

"the Court abandons any attempt to enforce the Constitution’s limits on federal power."

GDPR is becoming that on steroids: the only thing that changed was for the worse: some sites outright banned EU visitors, the rest started using obnoxious terms screens that are even worse than cookie bars. Nothing really changed.

Anybody with half a brain could have seen this coming. But no, let’s double down on the same thing with GDPR. This time it will surely go down differently...

This is not correct. Language is much more than words. At times you have social structure encoded e.g. via honorifics. You have concepts and phrases that derive from previous experiences.

Whether you take Sapir-Whorf hypothesis for granted or you think that its inverse is true, cultures and languages codevelop.

You wouldn't say "keep them at the bay" in a language used by a land-locked people. You won't call tomato "pomodoro" if gold in your area doesn't have impurites that make it red and not yellow.

You have to understand that language on a very basic level is a construct of a culture that used it. You can't separate them.

And then there are practical reasons. You won't get actors to learn Mongolic language to play Dothraki. Conlangs aim to combine "alien" with "familiar" which is a must in a movie, game or a book.

my name is jimmie I had some nagging late payments, medical bills, student loan and a bankruptcy filed 2016. I had credit scores of 554 (TransUnion) and 548 (Equifax) in June 2017. I applied for a surgery loan in July but was not approved because of my poor credit profile. I contacted my loan officer, he explained that I needed a score of 740 and the bankruptcy removed from my report before I can be qualified for the loan. I had to seek for a way to raise my score and bring my credit profile up to speed because I had to do the surgery at that time. I made some research and I got a lot of good review and strong recommendations on SYNCHACKTECH an ethical hacker who has helped a lot of people in the States so I decided to email him (SYNCHACKTECH@WORKMAIL.COM). He replied my mail and asked me to text (+18646570231) him for further discussion, I did and he explained the process to me in a very simple terms. We got started with the process on a substantial agreement. After 2 weeks, he removed the bankruptcy, deleted other negative info, eventually raised my score to 782 and verified the changes with the 3 credit bureaus. I got the loan, went through with my surgery and I have Trojan virus to thank. If you need a similar help with your credit, Chexsystem and DUI report, you can contact him via his number or email above.
The problem with this is that Fast.com is owned by Netflix, which is such a significant consumer of bandwidth that it inclines ISPs to shape traffic to fudge the numbers. Essentially, this kind of speed test only really tells you what the maximum bandwidth your ISP is able to provide you is, rather than what they're really providing. Even then, the test result with Fast.com could be subject to traffic shaping or slowdown at the remote end, so what is the result really telling you at all?

In fairness, this would be true of any popular speed test, and I'm not sure of an obvious solution. Any kind of tunneling or onion routing would render the test pointless anyway, so I'm not sure of the extent to which you can ever really trust a speed test of this nature. The only really useful data for this kind of analysis is likely to come from a router with sufficiently sophisticated software that it can report on transfer rates over time (which many do), and even then, that doesn't account for scenarios where the remote connection is the bottleneck.

This is something that always bothered me about the American healthcare system. Isn't it profoundly un-American to depend on your employer for such a personal matter? I know that work is highly valued in the US, but this is almost a slave-like relationship...

I know that European-style healthcare smells too much of socialism to you guys, but doesn't your current system smell of feudalism?
It’s kind of both in practice. Emojis are codepoints in the vast character space of Unicode that are defined as “a drawing of an ant” or “a hand pointing up” or whatever. And it is perfectly easy for any modern device to render that codepoint in its own default emoji font.

But. If you visit a website that has its own emoji, such as Twitter or Facebook, then it’ll replace those codepoints with inline images.

That will certainly work, however for large regular expressions it will become just as unmanageable over time, especially since the concatenation of each part depends on all the previous ones being error free. I was referring to the idea of breaking apart the work done by the regex, into more manageable parts.

One of the complaints is that a regex is too terse. This is because a regex provides you with no internal context of what you're trying to do. You can add context by leveraging additional regex features, but that may potentially make the expression even more difficult for a human to parse. The alternative is to use the regexes more sparingly, and allow whatever the host language is to provide the context. Just because you are able to parse a whole string and capture each part that matches some particular pattern all in one go doesn't mean that it's a good idea. Consider the following quick piece of pseudocode where the URL is split into smaller pieces first, which does a similar job to the regex above:

protocol, domain, path, query, fragment = explode("<protocol>://<domain>/<path>[?<query>][#<fragment>]")

if (protocol !~ "[a-z]{3,10}")
error("invalid protocol")

if (domain !~ "[a-z]+(\.[a-z]+)*")
error("invalid domain")

if (path !~ "[a-z]+(\/[a-z]+)*")
error("invalid path")

if (query not nil and query !~ "[a-z]+")
error("invalid path")

if (fragment not nil and fragment !~ "[a-z]+")
error("invalid path")

success("valid URL!")

Granted, this is much longer relative to the regex-only solution - and it will probably take a bit more effort to implement the magical 'explode' function I've imagined here - however the regexes themselves are now simpler, easier to evaluate, and we have context on what they're there for. Ultimately, we've just stopped using 500 lines worth of features in the regex library in favour of 500 lines of code that does the same thing elsewhere, but arguably have made it all much more understandable.

You'll notice that I've changed the regular expressions for each of the components of the URL. This is because the original regex is essentially only providing the same functionality as the explode() function above, and there is no validation of the contents of each part. Consider this another argument against using regular expressions for this kind of work. Note however, that the language provided to the explode() function itself appears to be regular. This is not unexpected - since URIs are defined using BNF and therefore are either regular or context-free - however it is an example of a scenario where a regular-expression-like language does not have to be cryptic.

Louis Rossmann made a video[1] a while ago presenting how badly optimized is the cooling on new MacBooks. In short: Apple prefers their MacBook CPU and GPU to run hot and thermally throttle so that the user is happy because the machine is quiet, and then, more importantly, Apple is also happy, because when it overheats often it has a shorter lifespan so you’ll have to buy a new MacBook after 2-3 years.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgeh7ZJRhZU

edit: Bear in mind these videos are about new MacBooks so there's no way to predict their usual lifespan. And I'm not saying all of them die after 2-3 years. Apple is simply optimizing for the 90% of users here, people doing mostly web browsing and using Microsoft Office. This does not put a sustained load on the CPU/GPU so these users will be fine.

There is another video [1], in which a 2017 i7 outperforms a 2018 i9 in video compression due to its severe throttling. Sure the benchmarks look great and are better on the i9, but as someone mentioned, that's like looking at sprint compared to a longer race.

Nobody is saying Apple shouldn't have thin and light options.

Apple's prices and hardware designs made the 15" MacBook Pro a popular desktop replacement. For the same price as a 13" MBP and a 21.5" iMac, you could get a 15" MBP that would outperform the iMac in some cases.

I suspected as much which is why I didn't bother with the ~£300 upgrade from the default 2.6Ghz i7 to the 2.9Ghz i9.

The MBP already struggled with the old i7 and with no redesign I couldn't see how they could handle the i9 without extreme thermal throttling. Turns out they can't but ship it anyway!
> it compiles not to [...] a single intrinsic EVM opcode for "doing keccak256",

Sorry, no. That is exactly what it compiles to. Opcode 0x20 (erroneously called SHA3) computes a keccak256. See the yellow paper.

Maybe you meant SHA256 or RIPEMD160, which are indeed implemented as so-called "precompiled contracts".

> That smart contract does have the plain EVM code in it.

It does not. No EVM reference implementation is provided for the precompiled contracts. Pre-compiles do things the EVM is not able to do. It is not possible to have fallback EVM implementations.

> the EVM opcode sequence for "call the known keccak256 smart contract" is pattern-matched

No it's not. Precompiles are handled as any other call and results in a call to something like `evm_do_call(address, input)`. This function then special cases the addresses of precompiles. AFAIK no-one does any kind of pattern matching.

> [conclusions]

The whole thing has little to do with pattern matching or (in)formal agreements between Solidity and EVM devs. Such a thing would be quite annoying.

A much better analogy is that the EVM comes with a built-in library of basic functions, much like `libc` does. And Solidity is aware of this library and offers them using a function call syntax, much like `printf`. The way they are called is not much different from how user-written libraries would be called.
The match most people use is match.scm by Alex Shinn, which can be found here:

http://synthcode.com/scheme/match.scm

It is written in portable scheme and produces code that can easily be optimised. In guile, proper match statement is usually as fast as a hand rolled destructuring.

The downside is that it is not extensible by user code, but that can be implemented if you convert the match-two macro to something like a syntax case macro.

Generic insulins are already available over the counter at any pharmacy in the US. The newer insulin variants are significantly easier to use safely, since they require less frequent injections (long lasting insulin) and have a faster response time (short lasting insulin used when ingesting carbohydrates or correcting high glucose). These newer variants require a prescription that is typically only issued by an endocrinologist who will require a visit at least every 3 months. I’ve had type 1 diabetes for 20 years now, and have only had my prescription changed a couple times over the entire period. 100% of my medication-related complications have occurred during times where I was unable to acquire a prescription for these higher quality insulin variants, either due to a change in doctor or insurance. Pre-ACA it was common for people to be locked out of insurance coverage of these drugs for up to a year without covering impossible markup on specialist care, and protections for pre-existing coverage are back on the chopping block as we speak. Even today, travel away from my doctor can result in stressful prescription renewal logistics despite having no change in dosing for over a decade. After seeing a doctor nearly 4 times per year for 20 years with almost every visit boiling down to “ok, here’s your renewal, see you in 3 months”, I’m not sure I understand the value for me personally. If someone wants to abuse insulin (I’m not sure why they would), they already can with a bottle of humulin, available at their local Walmart for about $20.

I’ve absolutely benefited from my endocrinologists over the years, but 80 appointments for 2-3 prescription changes (prompted by my request each time) seems like excessive rent seeking.

The classification of LSD as a schedule I drug is unsupportable; it was researched for 20 years before it became a 60s plaything and the threat of the counter-culture movement to the establishment was enough to get all psychedelic research killed off.

But as the article points out, there are real risks. There are a large number of LSD zealots who have not just goofy but dangerous beliefs about LSD. Spend any amount of time looking at posts on /r/lsd and you'll find people claiming LSD is a sure-fire cure for depression. Sure, some people have found it helpful, but those who tried it and went off the deep end probably aren't hanging around on /r/lsd.

The other frightening thing about /r/lsd is how many teenagers are there. Part of the over-representation is due to the nature of reddit. Even so, little good can come out of that cohort dabbling in psychedelics.
