What kind of numbers do you see in powertop between high and low load? (After running powertop --auto-tune and powertop --calibrate of course).

I've noticed the i7-8550U in my HP Envy can easily drive consumption up to 22W during a parallel compile even though I spend most of my time idling between 5 and 7W while editing text. The extra cores seem to consume a lot of power compared to my older 5th-gen laptop with 2 physical cores.

I also wonder if mobile Ryzen behaves similarly or if Intel just trashed their power/thermals in order to compete on core count.

Unfortunately, it's really hard to find benchmarks with power vs load stats. Most of them seem to be like "7 hours watching a movie in Windows" when I'd rather see "Battery is 55 Wh but computer uses 22W when all cores are 100% and 35W at 100% CPU and GPU". You know, like actual facts about the hardware rather than subjective usage experiences.
There wasn't much effort on my part to be born to highly-educated parents who valued educating their children well. I didn't work especially hard for my mother, a maths PhD, stay at home so that my father's career, which required frequent moves, could advance. Wasn't my work ethic that ensured his career advanced to the extent that he could afford to send me abroad for post-graduate studies (I turned out not to need the financial help in the end, but still).

It's not just about parents or upbringing either. Mark Zuckerberg's roommates - Hughes, Moskovitz, and Saverin - were his roommates by luck. What if they'd gone to Yale or Brown or Stanford? Or not been assigned to those rooms? You might say "But they worked hard to get into Harvard and be exposed to those opportunities!" - but so did (almost) everyone else who got into Harvard. Most of the other people from that class aren't billionaires now - they're merely highly successful professionals.
Schools love the idea of a growth mindset, but does it work?

You have to consider intent of sharing that content, and whether (a reasonable person would conclude) the intent promotes criminal/antisocial behavior.

CP is shared with the intent of reciprocity for more CP; hence sharing existing CP promotes future CP.

Violent/hateful content is shared with the intent to encourage/persuade others to perform similar acts, or to dehumanize the victims.
I read this book recently and... yeah. It’s filled with stuff like him bemoaning how “western” chemistry and the periodic table of elements are, and speculating about how “Japanese physics” would be.

Oh and that’s not getting into the whole BS about purity and skin color he gets into.

It’s nihonjinron at its finest.

The difference here is that MCAS is an automatic feature that Boeing needed to mimic the existing 737 flight characteristics. They Created the need for the automatic system in the first place, then sell the safety redundancy as an option.

To extend (torture?) the automotive analogy, it would be as if the manufacturer substituted a new braking system that required preheating the rotors, installed software to automatically ride the brakes for the first 2 miles of driving in order to get that preheat done, then sold an optional safety feature to verify that the brakes were at the proper temperature.

The old way worked just fine without need for “emulation”. The new airframe required some software to mimic the old one, but they decided to charge you for the add-on to make sure that their band-aid worked reliably.
Did they also ban buying timber from abroad, or did they only ban deforestation within their own borders? I hope it's not like US recycling that ended up sending most of the garbage abroad.
WTF? What "mass transit" are you going on about?

Our railways are decaying and the average speed is around 60 kmph. Air transport is super inefficient in super expensive for the average Romanian, for internal flights.

A whole region of the country is cut off from development because on a 400 km radius the fastest you can go, legally, over long distances, is an average of 70 kmph.
Actually, no, mass transit is pretty terrible in most places in Romania and we definitely need more motorways and/or expressways.

Trains are slow and have huge delays pretty much all over, the only subway system is in the capital city and is jam packed during rush hours, and it's also a bit unpredictable in terms of when the next train will arrive.

To speak to the stunt, it is actually very well viewed by both the average person as well as businessmen in Romania.
They aren’t compared with your own startup.
>It's not really about corporate greed, it's about people wanting to fly as cheap as possible. Redesigning an entire plane is indeed expensive and time consuming, and that cost would be passed on to the passengers. The airline industry is very cost-sensitive.

Completely regardless of a redesign, the MAX is a perfectly safe aircraft (WITH the proper additional MCAS training). The reason these people died is because Boeing didn't want to have to get a new type rating for their modified airframe, thus making it an easier sell to airlines. Corporate greed killed those people.
When Gmail came out it was also a gigantic money incinerator into which Google shoveled search ads revenue. It is easy to show that Google used one product line to break into another line of business. It would be harder to convince me that this harmed consumers.

As I understand it, only a handful of firms actually design their own laptops. Most of them buy from firms like Clevo or Quanta and maybe do final configuration (CPU/RAM/discs). So you'd really only need to convince them.

In a way, this is much like the situation with desktops-- Dell and HP was/is big enough to come up with their own custom mainboards and cases, but most smaller shops are going to go ATX.

I suspect part of the reason we didn't see much laptop standardization was that the second-tier manufacturers are weaker in the laptop sector than desktop, as well as being weaker as a whole than they were in 2000 when ATX was becoming a thing.

Outside of a few narrow gaming and workstation niches, there are few use cases where you can't find a suitable big-brand laptop, so the second-tier brands (and the manufacturers that supply them) are in a position of fighting for scraps, not one where they can start promoting the benefits of standardization.

This is likely worsened by the mindset that laptops are unupgradeable-- people bought ATX desktops figuring they'd buy new mainboards in 3 years, but generally assume the laptop is going to be stuck in place.
Figma is rather performant (to the point where it outruns Sketch in typical day-to-day design tasks), and their vector-editing is less buggy.

We celebrate the winners because it's hard to know how much of winning was chance and how much was skill. There were 57 possible ways of doing something, but the successful person picked the best one. Was their choice fully random, or did they see some specific potential in that option and purposely chose that one to try? What about the choice to try one of the 57 to begin with rather than any of the other infinitely many things they could have done with their time when there was no guarantee any of them would work?

There being more ways than one individual can attempt also has a solution. Anyone who wants to can go in with the other scientists, have each one try one of the options but agree to share the spoils if any of them succeeds. Then you succeed if anyone does and the proceeds from winning are reduced but the probability increases.

One reason not to do this is if you think one specific option is more likely than the others and you're willing to risk individual failure for individual success. But if you're correct to do that then you're correctly rewarded for doing it.

And there are reasons the individual method can produce better results in addition to that -- if you're in a pool with many others and succeed when any of them do, you have a reduced incentive to be meticulous because your personal reward is no longer strongly correlated with your personal success or failure. Anyone can join the pool, slack off and hope to profit if someone else succeeds. Then many people do that and many advances are lost. See also employees of any large bureaucratic organization/government.

So we want individuals to take good risks, but the only way to tell if they're good instead of just risks is when they succeed. And the reward has to be in proportion to the risk to get people to do it, which means attempts with a low probability of success require a large reward.
It is solely your own opinion that it was insulting. I believe your opinion/judgement of that comment is clouded by your overall personal disapproval and disagreement with my political and health-related views.

I simply stated that in order to have a discussion, a full sentence should be used. The commenter asking "Poverty? Marketing?" added absolutely nothing to the conversation and I asked him/her to clarify.

The other times that you say I've "crossed into incivility" have already been addressed by your previous warning to me from a few months ago, which I have since made it a point to not engage in what you referred to at the time as flamewars with regards to my topics. My comments often generate healthy debates and conversation.
Nah. You can get by just great if you know movements(h,j,k,l,w,b,W,B) and I, i ,A , a, o, O, dd, f, v, and how to use numbers with all that and how to combine them and how to quit and save.

Never waste a good crisis. Someone in the government was salivating over this even before the bodies reached room temperature. Happens every time. Does jack squat to prevent anything at all, but the power balance always shifts unidirectionally, towards the ruling class.
Sadly true.

I still read RPS even though I mostly play on console these days.
I don't really feel like making the money + time investment of a full blown pc.

Some RPS articles, especially those that don't talk about games like products are still worth a read.

Sadly, I have also come to recognize one or two RPS contributors as those I should just skip entirely.

RPS is also more and more anti readers, nowadays it adds a "container" on top of Youtube that injects their own ads on top of it. Since it is completely independant it also does not care if you have youtube premium.

I tried to reach out to them numerous times about that but I didn't even get a response. I had to add RPS to my adblock rules, to my chagrin.
From my perspective, news has become far more angry and vicious in the last couple of years. Writers who in the past were more or less kindly and factual (if sometimes a bit goofy) have started putting out really hateful stuff. It's shocking and, yes, depressing.
Google Ads is very much a self-supporting monopoly. Turns out online ads are a winner-take-all market, as Overture/Yahoo discovered in their demise.
"AirBnb increasing rents" is theory popularized by hotel industry and never been confirmed with hard data. AirBnb allows anyone to profit from demand for lodging, as opposed to few large hotel chains taking all profit. For many AirBnb hosts it's their livelihood. E.g. do you see benefit in anyone being able to start a restaurant or do you think only large restaurant chains should be able to do it? Also AirBnb increases tourist traffic benefiting other businesses.
That is beautiful... I loved those old 4:3 high-res laptops with big arrow keys. Now standard laptops are small-screen low-res tiny-keys... pain in the ass.
The general argument is "X has this impact on Y" (in this case, Internet and US). Given that X is global, that the Internet impacts many countries, a reasonable perspective would involve at least looking at how X impacted A, B, and C, which might prove that the impact is merely correlation in the time, not causation. Or it might strengthen the argument.

But in its current form it's a universal claim backed by very limited evidence (and ignoring evidence that suggests other causes than the Internet).
Wow, your comment is far better cited than mine. Also, Bork wasn't necessarily wrong for the era he lived in.

I think we don't yet have a good vocabulary to describe the kind of bad behavior we see in large tech firms. People use "monopoly" because it's the first word that comes to mind when a large firm is acting badly, but Google's/Facebook's/etc behavior does not fit our current definition.
There is no way to enforce unified command line processing across all possible languages and all possible programs. Even if you did, how would you enforce knowing what a leading dash is? There's no way to tell the difference between a file name and an option, regardless of the programming language used. That also doesn't deal with the problem that you cannot have a list of file names with new lines terminating them, or that merely displaying A filename with control characters can take over a terminal window. In short, even if you could do the impossible, it would not be enough.
I think the problem was with Btrfs subvolumes. There are old bugs filed on Ubuntu, not sure if they're current, e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1442....
yeah, I think you're right -- since you don't normally need the MCAS, you could probably get away w/ 2 AoA sensors and just disengage MCAS when they don't agree. you'd only get into trouble when you need MCAS and the AoA sensors are busted, which is a (rare) * (rare) event, so probably low enough odds to tolerate (i.e., probably never over lifetime of plane).

(just speculation of course.)

There’s just not much time as often cited as the problem when a pilot makes a mistake in a stressful situation, so seems like the add more training mantra ignores a more fundamental issue.
If it was property rights, they'd be voting on what can be built on their own property. Instead, NIMBYs vote on what can be built in the surrounding neighborhood and beyond, as if the purchase of a home also includes a guarantee that everything around it can never change.

It's elitist gatekeeping and deep selfishness masked as "wanting to retain neighborhood character".
A promising idea! Would love to see screenshots of the actual software being used or have a trial version that is available.

So if I understand it correctly, the railways need improvement?

I'd put the effort there, mass transit is much more sensible than cars.
I'll take a contrary opinion -- forcing each thought into a tweet is a nice constraint that compels people to get to the point. This would probably be less well-written as, say, a Medium article.
But what determines when one meets opportunity?

I feel like that statement is just saying that things are always partly meritocratic. Yes, you have to be skilled and prepared to take the best advantage of opportunities, but how does one get opportunities? Does one meet more/better opportunities because of skill and merit, or because of station and class of birth, or random chance? If the latter two outweigh the first, then I don't think we can say we really live in a Meritocracy.
It's a combination of incompetence as well as corruption on behalf of the authorities in Romania. The EU keeps a close eye on what their money is being spent on, so lining your pocket with highway money given to you by the EU is a bit of a no-no.

What people seem to remember is who cut the ribbon, so it's a bit of a risk for a party that has a 4 year mandate to build something and not finish it during their term as nobody will remember that they started a project.

For the last two or so years the political alliance in charge of things has been mostly focusing on making the laws more lax as most of them have legal problems, instead of focusing on the peoples' problems. We get what we deserve, since you never really do see a smart people ruled by idiots.

Who cares? As long as you can edit text and it doesn't get in your way it's all fine. I can switch between using vim and vscode without any problems.

I don't use vim to its full potential and I never will, I don't know many vscode shortcuts either. I'm not a typist, most programmers should spend more time thinking than typing anyway.
This was built to shame the politicians, not the nation (although we can extrapolate that a nation has the leaders it deserves - the ones it voted for).
Does the UK have no highways or equivalent to Edinburgh or Birmingham? Cause Romania has barely connected 2 out of 6 of its bigger cities.

And it definitely does not even have the strategic highways.

Google Ads isn't a monopoly. Most obviously Facebook runs its own ad networks, but also, I see tons of ads when I browse around that come from other ad networks. There are hundreds of the things.
If you are 30 now, maybe you just experienced the typical narcolepsy onset pattern in your early 20s.

I have narcolepsy. The daytime drowsiness started when I was 19 and got progressively worse during the later years of my university study. I pretty much abandoned attending class by my 3rd year.

What you describe as 'lucid dreaming' sounds similar to what I used to call my 'party trick': I would sleep soundly through the compulsory PhD seminars or a few years later my MBA classes, then wake up as the speaker asked for questions. Straight away I would ask a relevant and insightful question! People around me would look stunned: "How could you do that? You were asleep!"

So somehow while sleeping, my subconscious mind was still absorbing the talk. When I woke up, I had no idea what the talk was about, but bizarrely I usually knew what question to ask. Even today, 20-25 years later, my MBA and uni friends remark on it.
I’m afraid this reasoning totally falls flat for the SF bay area and other tech hubs. It can’t simultaneously both be the case that Google, Facebook, Uber, Apple and Microsoft are permitted to have outsized global influence and massive impact on communities everywhere AND Sf bay/seattle/wherever else gets to tell every other community to mind their own business because local communities should control their own culture.

Those companies themselves create the conditions that force tech workers everywhere to look for jobs in a few select cities.

That is the height of hypocrisy. The moment Google and Facebook stake out massive cultural monopolies is the moment the community they reside in has to give up a little bit for the well being of the larger national and global community.

I think it was the extremely high storage quotas (for the time) and the fact that the UI was ajax’y and didn’t reload the whole page/frame when you clicked.

Spam filtering on gmail has always been OK, but it was fine (for me) on other products for many years before gmail came out. I doubt it was much of a differentiator, but who knows? Maybe the #1 provider before gmail really sucked at it or something.
That's well and good, but the thing people seem to keep missing is that git != github. Github is first and foremost a social network. You may keep your personal projects there, but they are still public and on a social network, and that means anyone who reads them will judge them.

The question before us is, how do recruiters judge them?, and the answer one has given is he or she looks at style and clarity in code. Others have come back responding that's not fair or relevant, but that's the reality of putting things into the public sphere; you are judged whether you like it or not on terms that you don't get to dictate.

Look at it this way: when you go out and about to meet someone, you might get all gussied up to present yourself in the best way. But when you go to the grocery store, you might not have done your hair and makeup, maybe you might be wearing day old sweat pants. If someone catches your eye at the grocery store when you're looking like a slob, your chances don't improve just because you put your best foot forward last week at the club.

Obviously, I don't have the answer, but in this example my first thought is that the managers could be subjected to a sampling-based external evaluation, that adjusts their reward, possibly with a penalty-component.

You can also imagine that the rewards in this system become a solid part of the legal system, and so workers could sue their managers for assigning unjust rewards. This basically means that there is always an external "eye" that keeps things in check.
You know you're doing something wrong when a company that sells alternative parts for your old products is doing better in the news.
No I don't. When I share a book on how to teach people to make bombs like the Anarchy Cookbook, I don't have to consider intent at all. Why is CP different?

CP, violent and hateful content are shared for a myriad of reasons, some for profit, like the documentary on the Bataclan attack on Netflix, some for sharing with fellow pedophiles. I don't see why I can't see 9/11 footage because someone else might feel different about it.
