Are the embedded NVidia chips really that great for DL? I have a GeForce 150 in my laptop that I keep permanently disabled in Linux to save a couple watts of power. Aside from the GPU generally being weak, my battery would only last for a couple hours if I cranked my CPU/GPU near 100% usage vs 10 hours just editing files via wifi.

Almost all my work requiring a GPU is done by either ssh'ing into my desktop with a GTX 1080 or on AWS. And in that scenario, Linux has less friction (I can migrate setups between home and AWS) and is significantly cheaper than a MacPro.
My experience have been similar. 24 to 30 beta on my desktop without a single issue.
I think that the normalization of alcohol at a younger (early college) age would help.

My experience in college is that it's not hard at all to find alcohol, but only in an environment where drinking is the main activity. It's much easier for me to go out and get drunk in a group than get a drink with a meal in the U.S. Having spent time with lower drinking ages, it's much easier to drink without getting drunk.

This is certainly a reflection on how I grew up (especially seeing how my parents treat alcohol), but I think the culture would be better if it was legal to drink earlier.
It would also index a lot of excellent .gov sites that get buried by SEO junk
I've seen that one go both ways, it would be great to have more data. Anecdotal, but a larger number of people than I expected have told me they don't drink - or set extremely low limits for themselves - as a result of parental behavior which led to a disgust response.

I can't get over how incoherent the mobile app has become. To give a recent example. Yesterday, I had commented on another person's post. I later wanted to get back to add to the comment. So I navigated to it from my activity log. This took me to the post, but wouldn't display any of the comments on the post. The screen was clearly rendered differently than when I pulled up the person's wall, found the post, then clicked on the comments to find my comment. My guess is that "activity log > post" was written by a different engineers than "wall > post". This is the latest, updated iOS app.

That's just one minor example. There's crap like this throughout the app. The web site is also glitchy as hell these days. When I brought up m.facebook.com the other day and went to type a status update, for every space I typed, two spaces were inserted.

I'm not at all an expert on generics, but the company suing to remove exclusivity has almost certainly done some groundwork needed to produce the generic drug. They likely need to figure out how to produce the drug as well as some business stuff like market determination, so a second generic manufacturer is probably a bit behind.
Don't worry, to each his own path, as I said, even as a French I went away from it.. we all evolve.

Audio dev has always been insanely hard - that's part of the motivation behind creating this!

It's hard because you need some serious mathematical skills to understand the DSP itself (that's the bit I'm lacking in..).

Then if you're building a "real" product, you're going to have to write in C++ and have a rock-solid understanding of concurrency, real-time coding and many other very tricky subjects which take huge amounts of experience to get good at.

I've been doing this for over 20 years so have lost sight of how beginners should learn it.. But most people seem to just dive in with an idea they want to build, and start trying to swim! It can be painful to see people using JUCE/C++ who don't really have any interest in C++ for its own sake, but who are struggling to get anywhere without putting the effort in to learn the language properly.

Do Children in France Have a Healthier Relationship With Alcohol?

The vast majority of business decisions I've seen around security have boiled down to "we need to be able to put something on this sheet/slide, and it needs to be something that will raise the fewest questions—so, exactly what everyone else does".

Effectiveness or actual purpose isn't on the radar, and improving security through these processes does happen but is basically a side-effect or an accident. Some of these things probably are based in some real need (at whichever business started the ball rolling) and tend to be useful for that reason, but I guarantee a lot are just doing things for the sake of being able to say something was done after an incident, get that in place at a couple bigcos and pretty soon it's a standard industry practice, even if it's not sensible at many places implementing it. This smells very much like one of those.
so this is gonna seem kinda weird, but I noticed y'all run the audio developers conference.

I own the domain adc.io, for a project that went nowhere years ago, so now I mostly use it for some personal things. would you guys be interested in doing a trade or want to buy it or something? I feel kinda trashy asking that here since it doesn't add to the discussion, but I like what y'all are doing, and didn't even know that conference existed until I clicked that link.

I recently stopped drinking (it's been ~4 months) because I drank >1 bottle of wine every day for the last 3 to 4 years and I was worried I'll end up being an alcoholic or damage my liver. I'll be honest: alcohol is an amazing drug. I know that it's very harmful but no other drug gives me the enjoyment and calmness alcohol gives. Anyway, I stopped drinking now. When I hang out with my friends and they're drunk I usually try to get high so I'm not sober. I don't like weed as much as getting drunk so I can't get very intoxicated, just a little buzz. But yeah, the social aspect of intoxication is huge! Since weed is legal where I live (MA) I use it as a "social lubricant" which I suppose is a safe way to use drugs in general. My problem with alcohol was that I liked it too much and basically spent most of my time outside of work drunk since it was fun. I don't think I was addicted because when I stopped drinking cold turkey, I didn't experience anything bad...

Hi. Quick fly-by suggestion for you: look into the language server protocol by Microsoft if you haven't already.

In the golang community for example Google has recently decided to build and officially support a language server (called 'gopls'). How it works: You build a language server once and get features like typecheck errors, auto complete, go to definition, code peaking, documentation on hover, etc... in all editors/IDEs that support the protocol.

"Weird, I couldn't add you on snapchat with your code"
I’d like to challenge the implied premise that the world needs Facebook to begin with. This is the premise under which Facebook seems to operate, but it doesn’t seem to concern with marketing the premise to users. What’s in it for any human person with a smartphone or computer? What value could possibly be extracted by such a person from being “on” Facebook?

Any redesign or other change made to the platform is pointless without a clear narrative concerning the underlying value proposition. How does the change affect that value proposition? My take is that the value of Facebook is zero in the best case, and possibly a net negative for society at large and for individuals. Isn’t Facebook supposed to convince us that their premise isn’t all evil, that there’s something in it for us beyond participation in mass data collection?

Anecdote but by 12 I had a favorite wine category and by 16 a favorite beer. Growing up, my dad drank every day with dinner, and the value of taste and enjoyment was what I learned out of wine & beer, along with the knowledge that too much starts to impair me. But this discovery was well before my driving days and within my own family, it wasn't something I had to covet, hide then binge on in secrecy, without social feedback.

I was not quite 18 when I first got really drunk… at a relative's wedding. I learned that impaired senses wasn't something I enjoyed and only got drunk one other time in my life. Also social feedback has kept that particular event alive in the family.

But my drinking style isn't condusive to getting drunk, as I savor my drinks really slowly, and for the most part, with meals.

This is a French perspective, though. I've had a very hard time conveying this idea to people here in the US because it seems ingrained in many people's minds that the only purpose of alcohol is to get drunk, so either you party or you abstain: no middle ground. Things are starting to change a bit, moderate drinking with the goal of savoring is gaining more acceptance and—most importantly—good drinks are appearing but it's a slow process.
I've heard of companies forcing you to leave early for security reasons, but I've never heard of companies forcing you to stay. That's close to blackmail, but I suspect it would be difficult and expensive to prove in court. Sorry you had to go through that.
Yeah, but you don’t drink a beer on a train in the morning or during a lunchtime walk.
Yes we as a country seem to be according to polls mostly in favour, but it depends upon how the poll question is framed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polls_on_the_British_n.... However a vocal minority are strongly against it. However, over in Europe - many countries there have national ID cards and equally I'm sure they have their share of distractors against them above and beyond criminal type reasons.

As for the UK being the most watched CCTV density - well - have you seen the quality of most of those CCTV's, egads. Just look at some of the images the UK police release which have been pulled from CCTV. Very rare that their is ever anything that would stand up in court. Then most of these CCTV are private, mostly shops.

So yes, we may (not sure if still have) the most per square mile, but darn - the quality on so many is terrible. But then, older camera's and the rush to be first often does that. Beijing on the other hand, now that's a CCTV network I dare say who could tell you were you lost your house keys in the park if so inclined.

But we British do excel at irony. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Situational_irony_-_Baker...

As someone who works with Facebook Pages for my job, my concern that Facebook's new emphasis on Groups and Events will deemphasize Pages, which will lead to even more trouble for Pages which rely on that traffic (the absolute lack of discussion about Pages in the F8 keynote in favor of Messenger-based alternatives is concerning).

Yeah, we made both of those assumptions. But it's apparently less true of the latest generation of compute engines. We probably won't bother with CUDA, but Metal is certainly a viable platform to try. It's one of those things where nobody really knows how it'll do until you try it.

Also, we do know a few people who want to use SOUL to write audio code which does need high parallelism. It's not a super-common use-case for audio, but it does exist.

I'm in my thirties and cut down on alcohol.

I didn't drink alone or often, just 2-3 nights a month and most of them it was only 2-3 beer, but sometimes it was quite much.

Anyway, I'm dieting right now and had the impression that replacing alcohol with coke-zero at parties would cut down a few hundreds of kcals a month.
Did they control for regional cultural attitudes towards sex?

It was a twin study entirely within the UK.

Edit: Your first citation says they didn't find a link between infidelity and genetics, but did with environment.

I don't think that's correct. I think you are willfully reading what you want, and your paraphrase leaves out a key detail.

Our findings demonstrate that infidelity and number of sexual partners are both under moderate genetic influence (41% and 38% heritable, respectively) and the genetic correlation between these two traits is strong (47%). Conversely, attitudes towards infidelity are driven by shared and unique environmental, but not genetic, influences.

The study found that environmental factors shape attitude towards infidelity, but "infidelity and number of sexual partners are both under moderate genetic influence."

The future is private, says Mark Zuckerberg
I've seen 1 person really losing her family to alcohol, become completely apathetic and I almost lost another. It's strange that it so normal, imagine someone invented it today "Look, what I have, yeah messes with DNA (it's a registered CMR in some countries), but man it's a nice social lubricant."

That said, I enjoy alcohol too and would be offended by regulation (but I'm also "offended" by most drugs being regulated).
> The risk of Russia invading the Ukraine is 100%, because it already happened. The Russians even annexed part of it, to worldwide condemnation.

Oh, I meant in the future. The risk of lightning striking the same house, as it were. Admitting a historically conflicted piece of territory whose population at the time is reported to have been overwhelmingly pro-russian and to have felt slighted by the anti-russian revolutionary government, and which even went through the perfunctory motions of a referendum to add some semblance of legitimacy to the process, is a fairly confusing case, for which, of course, Russia has its own exculpatory narrative. I was thinking of something more clear-cut. A declaration of war, an open military confrontation, that sort of thing.
It goes the other way too. Most Parisians would rather speak English with a Québécois than listen to them “mangle” it.
Same observation here. That's what cemented my realization that facebook isn't for me, they just want my comments in order to generate "engagement", not actually be useful. It's my content and they make it nearly impossible to curate.
> Rolling back the drinking age to the modern world standard of 16 would drastically reduce student drinking by equating it with kid behavior. Nobody's interested in doing highschool shit in college.

Wouldn't this just move student drinking from college to highschool, not reduce overall student drinking? I don't think it's a good idea to having the driving and drinking age be the same. I'm sure lots of parents of teenagers would be very upset if their children could legally drink.
The Eleven Symptoms of Alcohol Use Disorder

-Alcohol is often taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than was intended.

-There is a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control alcohol use.

-A great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain alcohol, use alcohol, or recover from its effects.

-Craving, or a strong desire or urge to use alcohol.

-Recurrent alcohol use resulting in a failure to fulfill major role obligations at work, school, or home.

-Continued alcohol use despite having persistent or recurrent social or interpersonal problems caused or exacerbated by the effects of alcohol.

-Important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of alcohol use.

-Recurrent alcohol use in situations in which it is physically hazardous.

-Alcohol use is continued despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by alcohol.

-Tolerance, as defined by either of the following: a) A need for markedly increased amounts of alcohol to achieve intoxication or desired effect b) A markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of alcohol.
Withdrawal, as manifested by either of the following: a) The characteristic withdrawal syndrome for alcohol (refer to criteria A and B of the criteria set for alcohol withdrawal) b) Alcohol (or a closely related substance, such as a benzodiazepine) is taken to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms.

The presence of at least 2 of these symptoms indicates an alcohol use disorder (AUD). The severity of an AUD is graded mild, moderate, or severe:

Mild: The presence of 2 to 3 symptoms.
Moderate: The presence of 4 to 5 symptoms.
Severe: The presence of 6 or more symptoms.

Well at least you can't accuse them of false advertising. Israel seems like one of those places where it's either a magical place or a complete disappointment. I've heard some say it's the best place they've ever visited and others say it is a complete letdown. I suppose it depends on how religious you are.
And if you had zero of the tools and equipment beforehand used in the process, what would the additional cost be to just get started?
