Well, that's kind of true. 2600X vs i5-8400 is the goto comparison for that, since they both are at 4 GHz (4.1 vs 4.0), see https://www.pc-kombo.com/us/benchmark/games/cpu/compare?ids%... for that. Yes, the i5-8400 is a bit faster while having a lower tdp and being at the same price, depending on the game of course.

But the 2600X is unlocked and comes with a better cooler. And the Ryzen 5 2600 is cheaper than both while also being unlocked, and the cooler is still better than that of the i5. The 2600 especially is really attractive, even more so if you factor in that AM4 is the better supported platform (it will run on the board you bought for the Ryzen 3 1200 when that series was released, and it is supposed to run the Ryzen 3000 series).

There now is the i5-9400F which is again a little bit faster than the i5-8400 while being cheaper. If that one had a cheaper board than the Z390 chipsets supporting it out of the box it would be a real reason for AMD to lower the price of the Ryzen 5 2600(X).

It's too late for this. Any cost saving in using self-checkout will be transferred to the supermarket, not to customers.

What I find most amazing about these engines isn't the complexity but rather that they operated successfully despite multiple errors. We are often told that a single failure will destroy the craft, but that really wasn't the case. Shuttle make it to orbit with multiple cracked tubes in one engine. Some bits from the recovered F-1s show clear manufacturing errors. Building something that will work at these energy levels is hard, but creating something that can survive multiple random failures and still keep ticking is spectacular.
> The vast majority of people have no problem with Facebook or what it does. People with a big focus on privacy don’t like it, but the existence of Facebook as a profitable enterprise is proof that there are plenty of people outside this set.

Most people don't have enough knowledge to make an ethical judgement about it. So we do what's convenient and assume it's ok.

That's why I prefer to have proficient regulatory bodies with domain expertise to set rules, rather than expect for market forces ("vote with your dollar") to select for ethical options. Consumers can't be expected to make those choices, not at scale.

So I'm not convinced that "privacy" is really so controversial, even if people keep using Facebook. They don't know how facebook works, or in which ways its business practices "innovated" beyond the status quo that preceded it. Also, most people aren't interested in taking part in a futile boycott of something, even if they'd prefer for it to be restricted/banned for everyone.

The main way our system would combat bias is by shedding light on it. No human-built system could be completely impartial, but ours will say "I decided X because of A, B, C, and D", and if people decide that C is biased then that piece of knowledge can be adjusted accordingly.

My mom stumbled upon showing her dog at dog shows (she has a Norwegian Elkhound whose linage has won Westminster). It’s a strange subculture with all the drama you’d imagine. One big source of drama is over the judging and I told my mom one should now be able to make an AI tool that can judge the a dog better than a human. You’d need to train not just on breed but on top of breed (there are all sorts of ‘specs’ for show dogs). This would cause an INSANE stir in the dog show community.

ArchiveBox takes a list of website URLs you want to archive, and creates a local, static, browsable HTML clone of the content from those websites (it saves HTML, JS, media files, PDFs, images and more).

You can use it to preserve access to websites you care about by storing them locally offline. ArchiveBox imports lists of URLs, renders the pages in a headless, autheticated, user-scriptable browser, and then archives the content in multiple redundant common formats (HTML, PDF, PNG, WARC) that will last long after the originals disappear off the internet. It automatically extracts assets and media from pages and saves them in easily-accessible folders, with out-of-the-box support for extracting git repositories, audio, video, subtitles, images, PDFs, and more.

How does it work?

Exactly, for accessibility you need all icons to have a text replacement, so you can just use that text instead of the icon at no extra translation cost.
I was at the first FH launch and ordered the "Feel the heat" tickets. We watched the launch from the Saturn V / Apollo center just across the water from Pad 39A where the launch was. The part that I will never forget is the low rumbling in your chest. You can literally feel it.

The sonic booms on takeoff sound like a machine gun about 3-4 octaves too high, and the 6 sonic booms (each Falcon 9 makes 3 sonic booms on re-entry) on landing were really incredible. If you can watch ones of these, do it!

A friend of mine works in the tool and die industry in the United States, as a machinist.

He indicated that dies bought from China and elsewhere are often 1/3 to 1/4 the price of dies made in America. They don’t last as long and the tolerances are usually looser than American dies. They may contain flaws that require some rework before being put into service.

Still, they are purchased in great volume, and he has trouble finding shops that can pay for someone with his expertise. He is overqualified relative to customer demand.

Untold History of AI: Algorithmic Bias Was Born in the 1980s
The entire theory of free trade and/or technological development is that the capital saved on the efficiency gains gets reinvested somewhere else and ultimately becomes new jobs. Anyone unemployed will eventually be retrained and no net job loss occurs.

For some jobs (like factory workers) this doesn't work so well in practice as people beyond a certain age (let's say 40) can't just cycle back into entry level work.

All that said, automating store clerks has no downside. No one is a career store clerk. This is an entry level job practically by definition.
This suggests otherwise

Some of the comments in recent stories around unions make me think that they are quite different in the US vs those found in Europe specifically and likely elsewhere.

> With confidence high and the bake nearly finished, for the final 60 seconds I thought I’d go off-piste and crank up the temperature to 180 °C - I wanted to make sure things were cooked through. Curiously peering through the oven window, all hell broke loose within 30 seconds: The room filled with sounds of popcorn being made as resistors and components desoldered themselves from the logic board and dropped onto the oven floor. The previously clear air was replaced with an acrid haze. Then the bake reached it’s finale as the logic board bowed up in the middle, accompanied by the screeching sound of the CPU being wrenched off its socket. I lunged for the power switch and yanked open the oven door, hoping to limit damage. Then, as quickly as the bowing started, everything calmed down and the board returned to its original shape. With the board still hot, a wooden spoon was employed to desperately poke the CPU back onto its mount - with little success.

I don't think medium-term future (like decades) job stability is clearly going to draw along lines of education.

I think it would be far easier to automate certain kinds of labwork by doctors (particularly anything that looks at a series of images and matches them to a disorder), than to automate plumbing work. I think it will be easier to automate a lot of CPA's work (particularly anything like mapping data to where it fits into a structure of tax documents) than to automate running electrical lines in an existing house.

The economics of a lot of currently high end knowledge work lends itself much more easily to automation than a lot of trades do, since they are addressable with a purely software solution in a relatively controlled problem space rather than through highly complex robotics in highly chaotic environments.
the EU will not. The Directive must be implemented by member states, and they will detail the means and the lengths of how this directive is applied/enforced.

I would probably if that was a big list of things not to do.

Defining a few not okays things that may happens, that's fine. The issue is when it become TOO formal. I don't expect the same from a small gathering at work, or from a night with friends. There's certainly things that shouldn't happen in both, but they aren't the same at all.

She said code of conduct, but her example is an actual guideline that is way more specific on what will be done.

So I send you back your example, would you go on a bar that have that huge list that you need to agree with when you enter?

- You can come in, take a few drinks in exchange of money
- You can make small talks, but only related to the drink you just took
- Try to use the I when talking about drinks
- Ask people first if they want suggestion toward another drinks
- Don't share what you talked about with anyone else
etc...

Someone else here gave another example which I would agree without any issue, about sexualized language, attention or advances (which funnily enough, I would agree with theses terms even in a bar setting, would you?), trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks, public or private harassment.
This. The closest grocery store to me opens at 6:00am and only the self-checkout machines are available. The manned registers don't open until 7:00am or sometimes later. The self-checkout is not designed for a cart or even a week's worth of groceries. The only way to do it, is to continually have the clerk come over and override the system, as you put a bag on the floor or back in the cart.

Upon moving here, I endured this twice, before switching stores. I still use this one on occasion; but, only if I can put everything in a hand basket.

Travel through wormholes is possible, but slow
Grocery as an industry has one of the lowest profit margins of any industry. It’s also very competitive. So I would expect that savings from self-checkout will offset other rising costs (e.g. $15 minimum wage) and allow consumers to continue to enjoy low costs.
We have them in the supermarket where I shop, and I detest them.

If I want to use my own bags, I’ll need to have each signed in as legal extra weight by the clerk. If I want to buy alcohol, I need to be verified as over 18 by the clerk. They are situated lower, than the regular checkouts, so I have to bend my back a lot more to use them.

I know this makes me sound like an angry old man, but I’m not alone. Because I detest them I’ll happily queue up for the regular checkouts. I say queue, exactly because I’m not alone. I’ve stood in 10 minute queues for the regular checkouts while the self-checkout right next to me was empty for the entire time.

I don’t see myself ever using one again unless the supermarket starts paying me to do so, so I’m actually not too concerned they’ll take over too much work.

I’d be much more worried about the Amazon take on shopping. I mean, that’s automation that actually improves my experience as a customer, these self-checkouts are not.

That's great. But that sounds like failing to meet what could be an objective quality standard, enforced by something like CI. I don't think anyone objects to that kind of gate keeping.

I never considered self checkout a form of automation.

All it does it moves work previously done by the cashier to the customer.

I don't believe any labor is saved.
Good point. Maybe what I'm seeing is already included in the jump from 0.68% to 1.20%. Dunno, I really get the impression that the RX 580 is a more popular option than the 1060 in the communities I look at, though many there now pick more expensive RTX cards. Obviously I don't see the whole picture.
> All of the ones I've used insist on me keeping the products in the 'bagging area' during the transaction, and there wouldn't be any room.

There’s a button to skip the bagging area. I think it’s intended for large items that wouldn’t fit, but you could also go straight to the cart with smaller items. Usually the machine doesn’t like if you remove something that was previously placed in the bagging area though, so that’s an annoyance for large orders that could be accumulated into bags.
Hah, it’s funny, I just had an opportunity to confirm the utility of manners on the subway this morning. There was a creepy guy staring at people, looking for god knows what kind of victim, but certainly set on causing trouble. The situation drove home that the old advice that it’s impolite to stare has, at times, at deeper sognificance and purpose than simple étiqueté. In this case staring, in combination with other signfifiers is one of the signs others pick up on web trying to determine whether or not you’re a stable human being. On the other side, staring at someone who is deranged or looking for victims can put you in a lot of danger as it’s essentially an open invitation for them to mess with you.

So, certainly, a great deal of manners are simply class signifiers, but some of them also have utility in other situations. They sometimes not only signal class but also convey your degree of general approachability/sociability to another person.

Even the innocuous ones can have subtle effects. For example, putting your elbows on the table may naturally inch your body into a position in which you’re leaning in more toward the conversation, which in some situations can be a bad signal and seem overly eager or aggressive—of course in some situations the same gesture can convey a deep interest the discussion. Leaning back with one’s hands off the table can instead convey a respectable openness to discussion, or, in certain situations, disinterest. It all depends. I don’t think the rules of etiquette have to be hard and fast all the time. They’re better used as helpful reminders about how our subtle or even unconscious gestures contribute to a conversation.

This whole CRUD app crap is a cop-out - please don't insinuate it's my lack of experience that has me making this assertion. I've been an engineer for 23 years and spent the first 16 years largely working on large enterprise systems in C/C++, then C#, primarily in the health care space often with some hardware component. Regardless, the work I've done over the past 7 years with modern web tooling is some of the most difficult I've done in my career.

It's a failure of the organization to not utilize entry levels from the first week. At any company. After all, the FAANGs of the world have a different bar of entry.

People keep talking about this like you're literally training people how to program. That's BS. Every org has refactor work, tests to write, processes to improve, tasks to research, low hanging fruit bugs to tackle, systems to blueprint, all sorts of stuff that's a strain on the more sr. staff that's been pushed aside but needs to be addressed. You can strategically bring entry levels up in a way that's a net gain in any environment.
Some of this is definitely good. Requiring companies to use plain and truthful language when describing privacy-affecting settings is a great step, and apps/services shouldn't try to hide the "continue without enabling" button.

With that said, requiring different rules for children seriously increases barriers to entry for new services hoping to attract users in areas where these rules take effect, and kids will ALWAYS find ways around it. Nudges like snap streaks and the Like button encourage daily active use, but they also encourage actual social interaction between people to some degree.

Additionally, nudges like the Like button or Snapstreaks, though they do encourage a potentially unhealthy relationship with technology, also encourage social interaction with peers. It's certainly more complicated than "these are bad!"
Yes but only for damages.
