ThinkPad T480 (with a 1080ti in an external GPU enclosure for gaming at home / ML)

32 GB, 10+ hour battery life, 1Tb of flash storage with OPAL transparent self-encryption, WQHD main display, two USB C ports + two regular USB ports + an ethernet jack, automatic firmware updates through the package manager, and most importantly, no driver issues with the laptop and Linux whatsoever!

I replaced my workstation and gaming computer with this setup and am finally down to one-device nirvana.

Last month I knocked a full cup of coffee on the keyboard, and was relieved to discover the keyboard is completely separate and isolate from the rest of the device and is designed to be easily user replaceable -- I was able to replace the entire keyboard ($80 on Amazon) without even opening the case! The assembly is held in place by two screws on the bottom.

My previous laptop was a 2018 MBP, which I sold after two months due to my dislike (and distrust) of the keyboard. Couldn't be happier.
This seems to assume that all information needed to determine if two keys are equal is incorporated into the resulting hash value.

It's premised on the idea that you can dynamically change the hash function such that eventually you will find one with fewer than some fixed number of items sharing the same hash value.

There are two problems:
1) It completely undermines the "worst-case constant lookup", because there is no upper bound on the number of times you might have to change the hash function and rebuild the table before you find one with sufficiently few collisions.

2) It is a much stronger requirement on the keys than other hash tables have. With other hash tables I can simply omit "difficult to hash" data from my hash function, on the basis that enough other data is hashed to avoid a significant performance penalty. With this implementation, the entire hash table will simply fail.

This additional failure mode is also a security concern - if an untrusted user can affect what data is added to the table, it could cause a severe DoS where the table will either enter an infinite loop trying to find a non-conflicting hash function, or have an unexpected failure mode (most people don't expect their hash tables to randomly fail). Even if it is somehow designed such that a hash function can always be found, the attacker could spend time up-front finding values that take a long time for that hash function to be reached, causing numerous re-hashes of the table.
The first also happens with ivy in Emacs, and makes it harder for me to create a new file from within Emacs in a directory with a different file with a similar name. Very infuriating.
The issue isn't whether a decision is unconscious or conscious. It's that we often think that we've made a conscious decision when the decision process we narrate for ourselves and others is provably impossible.

I should have phrased the original as "it is a relatively weak example of this specific set of experimental results".
I've been wanting to do a similar thing, but also bring memory/storage into the human scale as well.

A byte is approximately a single letter.

A 4kb page of memory is approximately a single-sided piece of paper.

A 32kb L1 cache is 16 pages, spread on the desk, though you may prefer to think of 512 64-byte post-it notes. You could probably find and read a note in ~2s.

A 256kb L2 cache is a 64-page binder on the desk. Plausible to find a page in ~7s.

A 8MB L3 cache is a filing cabinet or small bookshelf, with 32 binders. It might take a minute to walk over, identify the right book, pull it out, find a page, find a sentence.

8GB of RAM is a sizable library, though far from the largest ever - rows & rows of bookshelves, 512 large shelves in total, 64 books each. If you knew right where you were going, it might take a few minutes to fetch the right book.

A 1TB SSD is 4 million books, among the largest libraries today, or perhaps a warehouse.

If that 1TB is instead a HDD, you can't actually browse the stacks - instead, there's a staircase outside the building, and you can reach in through the window on any floor - the entire building rotates, at the blistering pace of a full rotation every 8 months.

maybe this anti-throttling script[1] should help. I'm able to run at max CPU clock frequency at 85-90+ deg temps without throttling when doing CPU intense stuff (t480s, not carbon, but should work on carbon).

Either way, the system clearly works.
> graphene could increase (sensor) sensitivity by a factor of more than 30

A *factor of 30 would be unreal. Anything more than 2 in the real world would be amazing.
Agreed, this is the kind of thing you work out a contract for.
I must be stupid. It feels like a Monty Python word game designed to confuse. There's no way I can not disbelieve a statistically insignificant study outcome unless I want to allow myself to believe in some (but which ones?) statistically insignificant ones.
Agreed that military service is not the ideal direction. I'd prefer some form of service closer to say, charity or Peace Corps. Now whether people would fund that is another question entirely.

Good luck with the Shures continuing to last. I absolutely love my Shures, but I’ve gone through ~4 pairs in the last 12 years, and I don’t think I’m particularly hard on them. It’s a bit better now that they have replaceable cables, but even after that change, I’ve had at least one socket fail on them on the earbud side.

Well, if he's from a research lab that uses graphene I imagine that option would be useful. As of right now, there are plenty of places to buy semiconductor wafers of which silicon is the most basic and cheapest (and even some forms of graphene like aqueous).
I was able to white list specific videos by embedding them in my own website. For this to work, you also have to turn off the play next auto suggest on the video.

This has been the only way I have found to limit viewing for kids to specific videos.
Not to be peculiar, but I don't know if approximating the hessian using the gradient counts as a second order method. I was talking about "full-blown" second order methods where you compute de hessian through AD.

Furthermore, I don't think by "moment of the gradients" they actually mean second derivatives.

Also from the paper: We introduce Adam, an algorithm for first-order gradient-based optimization ofstochastic objective functions...

It's written right in the abstract that the authors consider it a first-order method.
that's impossible. If it were that that much faster, it'd have to weigh twice as much and the CPU would probably have double the TDP! :)
GDPR regulates companies processing personal identifiable information, if your startup can't comply with that it shouldn't exist for the same reasons that a food startup that can't comply with food safety regulations shouldn't exist.

Article 13 is straight up impossible to implement.
If the die is fair, the average score will be 3.5. One can define a test based on that value and reject the null hypothesis when the average score is too low or too high.

The sampling distribution for the average can be calculated and for three rolls the extreme values are 1 (three ones) and 6 (three sixes) which happen with probability 1/216 each. Getting three ones or three sixes is then a p=0.0093 result.

You raise a valid point. This is clearly not the best test for detecting unfair dice, because for a die which has only two equally probable values 3 and 4 we would reject the null hypothesis even less often than for a fair die! (In that case, the power would be below alpha, which is obviously pretty bad.)
Remote companies and companies offering remote jobs are not exactly the same thing, I work in a remote job but my company isn't remote, what are the criteria here?
I actually completed the Udacity SDC course as well and implemented the same Nvidia NN.

I looked into building my own implementation, but decided against it. I'm not particularly interested in the hardware, just the algorithms that drive it, and the amount of time spent getting the hardware working (not to mention a simulator ) would have been nontrivial.

Perhaps I'll grab a Donkey.
A few years ago now I had a slightly distant cousin ask if she could take photos of my nephew and I thought needing to ask was some ridiculous paranoia about pedophiles or something, she's family, of course she can take photos.

Now you've made me wonder if "can I take a photo" carries an implicit "and share them around the world" with it. In hindsight as someone constantly being forced into photos it seems to.

GDPR was never intended to be "good for startups". Just like pro-climate policies are never intended to be good for the economy.

GDPR was intended to be good for peoples privacy. Pro-climate policies are meant to be good for the climate.

Somethings gotta give. People are generally more important than startups. Climate is generally more important than economy. Because without people, there are no startups. And without climate, there is no economy, people, or startups.
Kind of awesome that you can get it in SFBA (Berkeley) at Tokyo Fish Market for $80/pound (which is expensive, but you don't use that much.

I would read that as explicitly available.
From that opening I just expected that the idea that you had to use two would be a frustratingly widespread misconception and completely wrong. Given that I had that misconception, that the UX implies that it’s the case (remove one and it stops playing music), and it is apparently completely wrong, I’d say the parent was pretty spot on.
That's going to need a citation from someone that's not Alex Jones and since clarification as to how it's not a Non-sequitur.
I think steve19 is illustrative of the issue in online news.

Essentially, people are only willing to pay for "news" with which they are in accordance. Whether or not a particular news source is factually accurate, is very much a secondary concern. (Witness Bloomberg.) So you generally have two huge markets, one for "news" with a conservative bent, the other for "news" with a liberal bent.

Of course you have several markets, that are much smaller, for other types of "news". But very few markets where factual accuracy is at a premium. Add to that the fact that the few markets where factual accuracy is at a premium are small, and it's not hard to see why no one really caters to them. (All of that doesn't even consider the very real problem that it's hard to address such markets with a product that those markets would accept).

So pointing out the inaccuracies in Bloomberg, or CNN, or WSJ, or NY Times, etc misses the point. These media companies are in the business of selling "news". They don't put a priority on the business of selling accuracy because the business of accuracy doesn't really pay very well.

Think of it this way, you likely know a lot of people who consume, say, FOX or CNN, but how many people are you acquainted with who watch C-Span?

Remember, autopilot and autosteer are not self-driving. Tesla is very explicit that the driver must remain alert, and supervise, at all times.

That being said, drowsy driving is a thing, and it's very easy to fall asleep behind the wheel. The car really needs a better strategy to handle this situation.
While it is a fun toy, I disagree that this is somehow better. The purpose of Lorem ipsum is to have place holder text that looks reasonably like real text, but lacking the kinds of cues that could draw you away from the design. What I see here would be obnoxiously distracting.

Is anyone using the non Pro/Air Macbook for iOS app development?
The current non Pro/Air Macbook appears to have the performance of a 2015 MBP in many respects, so in theory it should be a viable laptop to develop iOS apps on. It can be built with i5 or i7 CPU, 16GB RAM, and adequate storage that has better performance than was possible just a few years ago...

The HN crowd is vast and active, so there must be a number of people with direct current experience developing iOS apps with the standard Macbook.

What are your thoughts?
I suppose "super cheap" is relative:

WSJ: $100-$150/year

WP: $187/year

NYT: $195/year

All of these seem to be promotional rates of some sort, or I lucked out and they're all on sale (unlikely).

So, that puts them at or above the cost of a TV or Music streaming subscription. If you're subscribing to "a bunch", that's pretty expensive.

edit: I should add, I believe all of these prices are a "with ads" price, which arguably makes them a worse value than an ad-free streaming subscription of equal price.
The video really doesn't convey what happened. It's not really clear when the driver took over.

My Model 3 is very odd when going through forks like this. It just has trouble picking one side of the lane or the other. Yesterday I got a little scared when it swerved back and forth while trying to figure out how to take an exit.
Well if marketing says you get a CNC mill and what you really get is three power feeds it's not worthless but it's still not what you were promised.
I think it largely comes down to supply. Developers get paid a lot not only because digital applications make so much money, but also because there are so few competent
developers compared to the number required. Whereas talented musicians are a dime a dozen, and we don't need all that many, because there are only so many spots on the radio.

Also, I don't know if creation is worth as much as we'd like to think as it is on its own. Value comes from not from the existence of a thing, but from that thing changing hands. If you make a song and nobody hears it, is that song worth anything? If you write code and nobody uses it, is that code worth anything? There are plenty of smart people working hard to help creators get their creations in the hands of people who find it valuable.
I have been using Linux on many higher end HP laptops without issue. At the moment I have HP Spectre x360 15in 2016,8th gen i7 16gb RAM, 512GB SSD and 2gb mx950 Nvidia. After installing Linux Mint 19 everything worked out of the box and i get about 6-hour of battery. I have a few older HP envy series and each of them work with out issue. The only issue i have had in the past 5years is laptops with more then 2 speakers. Linux just assumes 2 speakers and you get shit sound. This is fixable with jack-reset.
Yet, that web site is not eager to sell those. It may be a design issue, but the only place one may find anything (no guarantees) is on the contact us link.

If they have samples, I'd expect them to want to distribute those (hell, every time I see a graphene related company I look on how I could buy a sample), but I'm not even sure about what I'll get after contacting them. Is the contact there for investors only? For hiring?

If they want people to start using their graphene for something, they may need to add a "get a sample" button somewhere. They may not be vaporware (there are enough labs producing some kind of graphene out there, there are even sites that are more clear on what they produce and yet aren't clear enough on how to get some), but there isn't a line of people wanting to jump over any obstacle to get it either.

my 2 cents: A few days of outrage will do absolutely nothing to stop or change the law. AFAICT, many the EU bureaucrats and politicians fervently believe that they are doing the right thing here, even if it's clearly bonkers.

It's like Brexit that way.

Also: as said elsewhere, article 13 is probably all good news for YouTube, so I doubt that they do anything deeply confrontational. Plus, even if they did, they would just be portrayed as evil lobbying/scheming bastards arm twisting the EU into giving them what they want.
I've been using a Galago Pro for over a year now, and I can't recommend it. I thought I wouldn't mind the small battery but it's burned me a few times now. I'm hesitant to even leave it overnight in suspend mode.

> it would have been 50x cheaper to simply build a fully modernized high-speed rail network

Where do you get that number from?
A 50% cut seems insane. Is there context that's missing here?

Because also, nothing is said about how the subscription is divvied up. Is the remaining 50% ($5/mo.) split among publishers by the % of articles read?
I would do almost anything for 50k, I might even be willing to not write rude and dismissive comments against people sharing their real world experiences about their life struggles or derail discussions with completely out of touch and condescending empty platitudes or incoherent metaphors.

derefr has a great explanation of traditional vs proper vs authentic. But on Why do only some cuisines have such constraints?, that's probably just down to culture.

Prescribing how a dish is made expresses a deep cultural identity through food, even if that food has evolved greatly over time. You might be able to change a dish and even improve its flavor, but it would no longer be that culture's food.

Now, why do only some cuisines seem to be sticklers more than others? Probably because some people are more sensitive than others about their food. They probably went to get a certain kind of meal, and it wasn't what they were expecting, and they were pissed off. And I get that. If you have an intention to eat this culture's food, you don't want some weird western "interpretation" of it, or some jackass from NY who thinks putting cream cheese on it makes it "regional". You want to be connected to where that dish first came from, and all the breadth of history that distilled into creating its specific flavors and textures. You want that dish.

It doesn't help that when dishes are transported out of their country of origin they get transmuted into some kind of local monstrosity. Tex-mex? Spaghetti and meatballs? "Chinese takeout"? California rolls? It's clearly not the real mccoy, but people still call it "mexican", "italian", "chinese", or "sushi", when it barely resembles those cuisines at all. And don't get me started on trying to find a real burger or bbq anywhere outside this country, to say nothing of those rarer American foods, like drip coffee.

And to be honest, there's probably a certain amount of cultural elitism involved in "cuisine" (the French word for "we're better than you"). I've always found the French and Japanese alike in that they both think they're superior to everyone else on earth. That's probably going to result in a lot of uppity people wanting their dish the "superior" way. But for me, it's about wanting to understand and respect the deep cultural traditions that produce singularly unique and beautiful expressions of food.
I think it is doing a disservice to push this as an objective measure. Not to mention, you reduce it to number of things. Some things are more complicated than others, after all. Regardless of numbers.

Still, I think, from your last, that we agree. Many intended objective measures actually don't lead to what they are pushing for. I see this in designs from peers all the time. They index on terms they understand, and miss the holistic system for it. It is very frustrating.
GDPR and Article 13 (in The Directive on Copyright) are totally different and unrelated things.

I happen to be a small business owner in the EU and I have many customers who are the same. We all have registered with the ICO (UK) for something like £60 pa and filled in a short questionnaire. We have read the clear guidance on what records to keep and what to not keep - it's not rocket science. That is GDPR for most small businesses. Now, if your business is predicated on building profiles on people or pestering them on the phone or flogging ads etc then I can't help you there - it may be a pain.

Now Article 13: It is designed to try and make the likes of YouTube responsible for not carrying copyrighted works by putting the onus back on them. I believe they hide behind carrier status. I understand that A13 looks a bit like an anti-meme effort but it isn't because that is generally covered by parody or reasonable use regulations.

In the end, are you really sure you want the world to block us?
When I have had real wasabi, I have always found it to be superior. It wasn't quite as sharp as the fake stuff but it seemed to have a much deeper flavor (more umami, perhaps). I didn't find it watery at all. Maybe my perception was just colored by the novelty and rarety. But I also suspect that quality can vary greatly season to season and even day to day.
