I'm nearing fourties, only working intermittent contracts, managed to accumulate enough for a modest FIRE through them (would like a bit more to upgrade the lifestyle though), spend a lot of time between contracts working on things that interest me. On personal front, I haven't been in relationship for over 10 years now (don't have kids as well). I feel like I'm an outlier as far as general population goes, probably not as much here in HN.

>> Cinebench is an idealized situation for AMD

I wouldn't say it's especially suited for it, but AMD generally does well because of the large amount of cores/threads.

On the other hand, something like 7Zip, AMD has had a huge advantage compared to Intel, even going back to the Bulldozer days. What is it about that code that runs so well on AMD?
Yes, they call that "government cheese". I can't speak to the quality but there are people out there that still try to find things that are close to the government cheese quality they loved as kids.
I was exceptionally displeased to find this functionality on all the Samsung TVs at my vacation home this winter. Threw a FireTV Cube on all of them and couldn’t be happier with the experience. IMO, it’s cable box integration is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. But I’d suggest you checkout the FireTV 4K if you don’t have cable

> Question from a curious sysadmin: How are these AMD GPUs for machine learning and math related stuff?

They're just fine, though I think a tuned implementation on either tends to show NVIDIA ahead.

> I have only heard of Nvidia CUDA in this context. Does anybody do ML work on AMD GPUs?

NVIDIA is still king here, but if AMD continues to develop their Radeon Instinct stuff, it could be competitive for some applications; it then becomes a question of whether or not there will be enough people who know something other than CUDA (which is not currently supported on AMD GPUs, though work is under way to make a compatible runtime).
You assume a great deal about my moral feelings. I am practical, and I perceive our real enemies. There is no moral component to that. Like Iran, Russia's time as a major world player is limited. It has burned through all its human resources, and now its oil is worth less and less every day. They're not going to take over Europe, and if they were it's not as if USA could stop that with either sanctions or force of arms. The drunken walk of sanctions and other threats we've employed have not served the interests of USA citizens any more than they've served the interests of Russian citizens. They have served someone's interests.

USA get the tiny amount of international criticism we receive because we keep doing the same awful misguided things while claiming that we expect different results. We aren't all crazy, so at least some of us are liars. Indeed those are the same liars who came up with the ridiculous "world police" canard of preposterous liability in the first place. Who kills whom in other hemispheres really doesn't affect us enough that we should waste our wealth and soldiers' lives pretending to do something about it.
It's a pretty simple process, I just choose Postgres.

I think his demo POC had outside power and ground. He believes the actual implant was powered parasitically from the SPI's bus current.

That would be pretty cool to see demoed itself. As he states we have RFID CPUs that can work with fantastically small amounts of power only from their antennas.
The arguments against Facebook at this point have basically shown that the whole platform and every service they provide is tainted and exploitative.

The Green New Deal
There were certainly classes where we had paperbacks, but you don't spend an entire semester going over one book. I think other than electives and higher education, I rarely saw more than one paperback per semester, and a few of those were mandated by the state board of education (eg, Animal Farm).

In the earliest book-heavy class I can recall, probably senior year of high school, we read a bunch of Edgar Allen Poe out of the textbook (Poe is out of copyright). There were book reports, but that was one copy per student and I think more than a few of us checked books out of the library for this.

I think Gatsby was the only book we had to buy that year. That book is from 1925, and should have been out of copyright decades ago. So that everyone could suffer^W enjoy it for free.
Increased trading activities with an autocratic government that doesn't respect the rule of law. Yay?
AMD seems to be making a push for the server market at the moment too. It looks like a good time for it as Intel struggles to get production on 10nm while AMD is already at 7nm for some of their range. But Intel has an incumbency advantage. I'm no expert on the server market though. Could someone with a bit more knowledge chime in with a how big a threat this really is?
That's a fair criticism.
> In Emacs, of course (Learning to swim directly in the white waters, why not?)

Does Emacs have a reputation of being difficult to use? I remember that in the late 70s and early 80s MIT's CS and AI labs were proud that the (not specifically trained) secretaries used Emacs and wrote macros for it.

It's been decades since I was a novice user so I don't remember the experience, but was the first editor I'd ever used, and, years later, the first editor my (arts major) wife ever used, and I don't remember any particular anxieties or consternation from either of us.
Probably.

Some cockatiels that proved very hard to catch this summer after they escaped were ordered to be put down by some hunters as well. They can survive our winters in urban areas and pose a risk to the native birds.

In terms of where they'd sit, you can pretty much draw a line from Keynes via (to an extent) Joan Robinson and other post Keynesians to MMT

In terms of why aren't they on there it's because they're really not that influential, (as pointed out elsewhere, the family tree does massively overstate the influence of Austrian Economics and includes some very minor economists associated with that school but that's clearly a reflection of the creator's personal preferences. Cairnes and Nassau Senior are odd choices too). Not many people who weren't hardcore MMTers would think Randy Wray or Bill Mitchell should be on there ahead of the likes of Arrow, Solow, Tobin, Mundell Prescott etc and even within post-Keynesianism there are bigger names in macro.
... that is seriously fun.

As of today, if installing pytorch w/ GPU option the assumption is you have a nvidia gpu. Same thing seems to be the case for Tensorflow (did not install tensorflow lately)

I have a Roku for these and many other reasons. I have never seen or touched a smart TV that didn’t suck in multiple ways, even if it was just the laggy as hell Java interface.

I’m not saying the Roku is perfect, it’s far from it (and I’d love to be able to give them feedback), but at least if they piss me off I can throw their device in the trash and replace it with an Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire, etc. and still have a perfectly well functioning 4K TV.

When you develop a tool, you have to consider the pros and the cons. For example, encrypted chat, while it may have bad uses, the vast majority of uses are good or at least benign. With cryptocurrency on the other hand, it seems like the bad uses are the majority: fraud, money laundering, illegal drugs, and extortion. In the past, the money exchange in an extortion scheme was always the weak point. Now, thanks to cryptocurrencies, it is the strong point.

I consider Photos and essential app to the phone. But the push to iCloud could be annoying (I haven’t experienced it because I already have it). If I remember correctly, android phones come with a Gallery App for Photos and then additionally Google Photos. This was a few years ago, I’m not sure if it has changed. Whereas iPhones come with Photos and the iCloud functionality built in.

I have experience designing these kinds of computer vision systems for other applications. What you describe is very doable. I'd start by isolating each component you want to identify and track. Then break that list down into multiple models that run in multiple passes over the video. While doing this try and group tasks that use the same inputs together, even if the outputs are different. This will help identify what exactly you need to isolate for each model. For example, some models may only need to see the top left of the video which can simplify things. You'll also probably want a context model to determine which frames should be seen by other models.

Avoid going all-in with a single end-to-end deep model right away. There are lots of details to work out and it will be easier to iterate as separate components. Ultimately you may eventually end up with a single model to leverage feature sharing and improve results and those details will be relevant.
I fully agree with this article. Let say it clear, LaTeX is so old fashioned nowadays.

Lack of default UTF8 support. Even if you will fix it, good luck with additional tools like BibTex. For God's sake how this can be still an issue in XXI century?

Lack of TrueType Fonts support. Have to use tools like XeTeX.

Beamer? Give me a brake, look at all those tamplates. Almost all of them looks like from 90ths

LaTeX scripting language is so verbose and odd that after few weeks of not using it you forgot most of the syntax.

Is it so hard to create new tool (LaTeX 2.0) that would base for example on superset of HTML5, CSS and JavaScript so we can get rid of that crap?

Particularly in the case of a minor, who has no say in the contract.

Wasn't the contract entered into by his parents?

The way I read it, he wasn't able to break free until his early-20s.

Was he kept under lock and key by armed guards willing to main or kill him to keep him from escaping? Or did he primarily think of it as working through a contract his parents had signed him up for?
I guess I don't see why that's a complaint about Word at all. When I'm writing doc, I fire up Word, set the view to Draft, set the Zoom to whatever is comfortable, and use the built-in styles for Normal, Headings, and Titles to structure my document. I have just as much screen real estate dedicated to Word as I would to VS Code. That automatically builds the navigation pane in recent editions, and since I'm creating a living document roughly 95% of the time, that's perfect. I literally care nothing at all about the exact formatting; just the document structure, content, and spelling. I'm doing about as much formatting as I would with a markdown document. If Word auto-formats something and you really don't want it to, you hit Ctrl-Z to revert it. If it keeps bothering you, you turn that auto feature off.

I get the argument that people -- that is to say, programmers -- like to write in their text editor of choice, too. However, I think that's what it is: preference for the familiar. Writing LaTeX feels like you're programming and lets you use tools you're familiar with, so it appeals to people who like to write programs. That doesn't mean the extra effort is really paying off.

I think arguments that the results from Word aren't good enough or professional enough don't really hold water, either. Take a look at any of the opinions from the Supreme Court of the United States [0]. Download any of those opinions and look at the metadata. Some of them are scanned documents, but many of them say: "Application: Acrobat PDFMaker N for Word". You'll find the same thing if you look at petitions that have been filed, and they get quite complicated [1].

I think I got to around 65 points before the red square began catching up to me and taking away my points.

It's definitly a fun little game, I love the simplicity of the code with regards to dependencies. If you look through the code, you can also find that the shift key acts as a brake, definitly not something that is very discoverable.

Is he? For me, markup of plain text is easier because it fits with the other tools I use. Thus I get all the revision control, more powerful diffing capabilities, proper macrology (templates and styles).

Whereas I (not claiming a universal) can only use Word for small documents; when they get big, with revision tracking, chapters, etc etc I've found it becomes fragile. We had a 1600 page FDA submission garble itself shortly before we had to submit and had to go find older versions from backup tapes (!), re type stuff from old printed out copies, and check every number in every inline data submission which caused major panic and stress. Everybody we asked for help said, "don't use word for a large document"

Maybe some people are able to do it.

This makes absolutely zero sense. Not only is a figure of 40% male reproduction compatible with polygyny, it is solely compatible with polygyny.

If humans were monogamous as you suggest, the figure of male reproduction would be far closer to 100%. But we’re not. We’re polygynous — a harem-based species. And the 40% figure you just cited proves that: Less than half of the men mate with all of the women. That’s not called monogamy dude. That is called polygyny.

Throwing stuff out is hard to do if you are poor or were raised poor. Everything you save now does not have to be bought later. There is a potential use for anything and everything, so you might as well keep it. Granted, at a certain point the cost of the storage facility exceeds the amount saved, but the mindset is still there.

Even now, as well off as I am, I tend to collect things (and by extension, clutter) because I can see the potential need for something in the future. I've been trying to overcome this mindset and slim down my possessions to the things I need and the few sentimental items I have, but it's not easy at all. If someone else came into my house and started trying to clean up, I'd probably lose my mind (admittedly for a few unrelated reasons as well, but largely because of this mindset)
