As far as I can tell, imageoptim eats this project's lunch. The examples given on optimage's own benchmark page show imageoptim clocking in at around half the total filesize of optimage for the entire benchmark.

Even in the specific examples that are supposed to count against imageoptim -- the destructive chroma sampling, the 'broken gradient' (I can't see it), the orange sneakers (imageoptim's looks better and not overblown colors), or the rotated beach scene -- imageoptim is dramatically smaller on all of them. It puts up a 76k file vs 141k, a 5k vs 14k, a 72k vs 177k, and a 750k vs 1340k.

Halving the filesize for such small differences is exactly what I want in an optimizer.

My biggest complaint with imageoptim is that it's primarily a mac tool, with only a secondary online interface for the windows/linux crowd. But then this project has exactly the same flaw, so there's no gain there either.

There’s an entire academic field designed around making reliable tests with valid results for psychological measurements, called psychometrics. IQ tests and we swear it’s not an IQ test like SATs, the GRE, GMAT, LSAT are all designed to be as close to ungameable as possible and it works. Practice effects exist, you can get better by doing more of them but they’re also limited. Usain Bolt is never going to run 100m in 5s and I’m never going to run a sub 10s 100m no matter how hard I practice. Likewise SATs are not going to stop predicting success in college or in life because they measure g, the general factor of intelligence.

Still doesn’t answer my question. The insinuation that the SF system is “corrupt” is based entirely on the apparently invalid comparison. We actually spend less per homeless person than NYC.

If you’re not going to answer that’s fine, but please don’t thread hijack. I’m really just looking for an explanation of what seems to be an obvious (fatal?) logical flaw in Collison’s post.
The Tintin CGI movie was in theaters in the US. It was fun. :)
Citation needed. The huge amount of time and resources spent preparing for the SATs imply that it is not a direct measure of intelligence.

Is a someone who scored a 2300 after years of test prep necessarily more intelligent than someone who couldn't afford test prep or didn't have access to it and still scored a 2000?
The iPhone SE was a dream come true, though even smaller than 4.7” and obviously an iPhone which could be a dealbreaker for some. Funny enough, I feel like basically any smartphone with current flagship internals in any 2-3 year old flagship form factor would be ideal for me.

It wasn't just Facebook metrics that made people jump on the video bandwagon. The whole video ad stack from player to ad server to header bidding wrapper to bandwidth is full of ways to spend 4-6 figures per month on fixed overhead and variable cost to run a player at scale, let alone production. Most pubs have been financially burned on video by an industry that can't quite understand why it isn't working. All the while, marketers continue to have the largest and most impactful influence ever with TV.

I know why it isn't working: human hands are made for interacting with things. While sitting in front of a TV, we humans tend to believe what we're told, and we're typically prone, not on guard. Who wants to hold an ad in their hands? Who doesn't feel burned when a video ad interrupts their flow of their digital (fingeratively) pleasure trail?

Now imagine what kind of influence can be had over another when they are in a fully immersive digital (binary) experience. Its like handing over your entire limbic system to the machine.

Malevolent influence at scale is remarkably accepted by humans, it is our past. I hope our future moves towards respecting the sovereignty of individual human consciousness.

Laws, attitudes, and behaviors need to change. We all who have been Branded have had a piece of our identity conformed to serve the ambition of another. I think the average American brain walking through the grocery store is analogous to a chairlift pole covered in stickers, a wall covered in layers of gum. Any exactly how do you clean away an Impression?

I'm a recovering internet marketer. I've felt lousy for a long time for having been so cavalier with influence. I've been trying to see what better looks like for a long time. What do you think better looks like? Feels like?
EXCEL 2019 FOR DUMMIES
I've come to the realization that sharding might be the only way to actually scale multi-master systems without allowing stale (or potentially outright wrong) reads.

Sharding is complex and makes parallel queries a requirement but it really does seem like the only way to distribute a database. In the end, once you have the op log on more than one machine, they're going to have to synchronize with each other, otherwise you risk giving out not just stale answers, but completely wrong answers. This is fine for a site like FB but is not OK if it's attached to military equipment.

CRDTs don't help in the case that you don't want to deliver wrong answers, they only help making sure merges (during synch time) are resolvable without conflicts. Lamport clocks only give you a partial order, and you need something else (physical clocks) for total order, which is what you get from raft (because you only let one node manage the log in the first place).

What I haven't seen yet/want to try is to see if sharded + replicated raft could introduce some interesting performance benefits. It's basically max complexity (the complexity plus sharding, plus multiple instances of raft at the same time), but it could be only way to distribute write load (smart routing/forwarding of requests) and increase availability (eventually consistent replication for every node of every shard) at the same time. This is basically what Faunda does but I'm not 100% sure about splitting a single table across replicas...

140 Comments, and not s single word mentioned about TDP.

It seems people are OK with Intel stating a 95W TDP when its max could be 225W. We knew TDP wasn't a reliable figure for a long time and had sort of expect 20 - 30% variant, but now we are looking at ~2.4x difference....

After all the lies Intel have told, after all the disappointment and anger that Intel has been sitting there not innovating, cost cutting in the simplest thermal measures, their near irresponsible sales pitch to enterprise, the cries for AMD to bring competition.

You need 2/3 of the states for a convention. But you need 3/4 of the states to ratify.

Thing is, though, Constitution is just a piece of paper, if enough people - or states - believe that it is. Small states need to understand that the power that they wield is theirs only because the large states agree to abide by this arrangement. If that power is abused too much, the deal might just be altered - and in any such alteration, the larger and more powerful states will call the shots.

> comparisons of problems caused my materialistic world view versus idealistic world view could be interesting

Materialism ties your happiness to the state of a vast and unfriendly external system that you, particularly if you are a child in a non-wealthy family, cannot control. Suppose one day materialistic instincts - manipulated by advertisers and wealthy, high-status peers - inform you that you ought to acquire an expensive Thing to maintain your status and sense of self-worth. Your parents are unwilling or unable to provide the Thing for you. You, as a young person, cannot earn or save enough to buy the Thing on your own. As a result, you become unhappy. The situation repeats frequently, as materialistic instincts then go on to tell you that you ought to acquire Thing_2, Thing_3, etc.
The claim isn't that it doesn't work, but that the overhead is substantial, and those same goals could be reached with far less. I think it's self-evident from the description of the scheme - you could come up with a much more straightforward tax-and-redistribute scheme with less overhead.

Just make sure they learn to recognize the value of trans-material assets: one can loose their financial wealth in an instant easily, but their reputation, skills, knowledge, intelligence, health, psychological capacity, inner dignity and freedom of compassion, unconditioned vision and decision-making are less volatile. Understanding this is the first step upwards and is enough for many. Eventually, as the consciousness develops and matures a subject can also recognize these assets are also volatile and seek forth to meet their true self that actually owns these and is the only reliable invariant in their subjective universe.

At the same time try to avoid values dichotomization so the kid won't grow up with a destructive idea of financial wealth being a bad thing to pursue.

If their intelligence seems not sufficient try to make it fun for them to play n-back games like BrainWorkshop, their intelligence will develop stronger and my experience suggests it helps to grok all kinds of stuff (including even transcendental matters!) a lot, in whatever an age (it in fact has enhanced my own mind capacity enough to instantly realize that life in a society is not a zero-sum game and it is usually more beneficial for myself to help others to develop, succeed and strive than to care about maintaining competitive advantage over them and that in whatever an argument the primary objectives are to understand the opponent (whatever bizarre they may sound and regardless to whether or not they're wrong) and enrich your vision while winning the argument is a secondary objective and even happens to be irrelevant in many cases).

one thing that always puzzles me about this topic is that even though everyone knows Harvard's admissions process is unfair/phony/rigged many people still want desperately to be accepted there in order to send the right signal

so what signal could possibly be getting sent if we already know the game is unfair/phony/rigged?
This is a good counterpoint, but they could probably survive without it. I don’t agree with discrimination and don’t think it’s right, but I do feel like Harvard should do what it wants if it didn’t take a single dollar of public funds.

What I realized as I get older and have met many different people, is that, everyone, is, judgmental. Of course, different people value different things. Some judge by wealth, some by looks, some by height, skin color, hobby, manner, education, intellect, family background, job, way you speak, way you act, etc, etc.

Why are some judgmental criterias more acceptable than others? I mean, compared to many of the less change-able traits like look, skin color, where you are from, intelligence, etc, isn't wealth, being acquire-able, a somewhat more "fair" criteria to be judged on?

No, because wealth is not fairly distributed. The biggest predictor of wealth is being born rich. Looking at only the best case is not sufficient to call a criterion "fair."
That's a surprising statistic given that life expectancy in Netherlands is almost 3 years more than in the US.
According to Montessori theory, it's ages 6-12 years old (the elementary years). That's when their mental development is naturally focused on fairness, what's right/wrong, social groups, justice, rules, etc. They begin to show a genuine interest in others, locally and globally. Role models play a huge part in developing their values at this time.

Piaget agrees, but puts it at 7-11 years old.

Both say the beginning and ending ages are an approximation and development occurs throughout, but that's the developmental stage when the brain is particularly sensitive to it.

> Since the number of admissions is fixed this reduces the odds of those who have a race that doesn’t match their preference.

Sounds like a classic example of double effect[1] to me: Harvard intends a good end (alleviating historical injustices), applies a means that is not in-itself objectionable (AA), and does not intend the bad end (that some otherwise-qualified students have a reduced chance of getting in).

That's a moral argument and not a legal one, but my intuition is that the intent of their admissions program and its necessary connection to the means (AA) will play a central role in their defense. Fisher II v. UT[2] was decided on similar grounds.

Git vs. SVN: A Practice to Git-SVN GNU TeXmacs
https://github.com/texmacs

GNU TeXmacs is a greate project. However, it still uses SVN. I thought git is better than SVN and tried to convince others developer that migration from Git to SVN would be great.

However, recently I changed my mind. A coexistence of Git and SVN would be best solution.

We have one SVN repo on savannah. And on github, there are several repos.

texmacs: the source code repo
web: the website repo
devel: the doc for developers
plugins: the collection of plugins
doc: the full documentation

And our contributors can take advantages of Github Pull Request.
Its been under construction since 1880's. Mighty excuse.
i would also suggest specifically to look into ampakines if you're going to go the nootropic route. nothing ive ever taken beats IDRA-21 in terms of destroying the barrier to knowledge acquisition and fluidity. I hear prl-8-53 also works well in that regard, but I haven't tried it. other than that the only other nootropic i can vouch for is memantine but some people might question the nootropic potential of that when you take doses large enough to be ensconced on a dissociative euphoria :^). still everyone I've talked to that uses it in more restrictive dosing regimens confirms that it works pretty well for nootropic and cognitive benefit.
If you don’t think “shiny stuff” is needed for a good life just deprive your kids of it. You’ll find out in a decade or two whether you were right or whether your kids just resent you. If you have > 1 kid, then this is the perfect time to run an A/B test.
In my experience, SATs measure nothing - only how well you can take the SAT, after taking a prep course my score went up like 200 points. One of my friends got a perfect score on the ACT after doing alright on the SAT. Some colleges are no longer taking it into account because everyone knows how BS it is.

EDIT: and to make it worse the college board charges exorbitant prices for everything involved in the process - it’s ridiculous

Memantine is best at about 5 mg (start at 2.5 mg, then add another 2.5 mg 3-4 days later).

I forgot to mention P21/cerebrolysin, perhaps my favorite nootropic. SEMAX + selank + alpha-GPC is a good/strong general purpose stack, especially as the OP mentioned issues with verbal fluidity. Other nootropics would be taken acutely to increase focus, memory, motivation, etc.

N-acetyl semax + PRL-8-53 + coluracetam (or oxiracetam) is another combo. PRL-8-53 mainly helps with memory.

Piracetam makes it easier to multitask (ie, listen to music while reading or functioning while in an open office environment).
