What's the power usage on that? I could imagine the heat from it keeping your home warm on a cold winter's night.
Why 5 Hz all the time? I'd love to have such an extremely powerful CPU but I'd actually appreciate if it could downclock itself automatically and stay as cold as possible whenever I don't need it's full power. Some times I run heavy computations and having 8 5Hz cores sounds great but most of the time I just read or write something so even 1000 Hz sounds an overkill.
> So is there a build tool that fixes these problems, instead of just replacing the parts of make that actually work well?

I created something that tries to improve some aspects of Make. In particular it allows setting multiple outputs and use checksum instead of timestamp for build caching.

Don't expect a perfect tool, though. This started as a toy project, but evolved with time.

What I wanted to emphasize is that a dollar "In the bank" means nothing else then "The bank owes you a dollar".

And banks do not lend money they don't have. And where do they have it from? From other customers.

Ergo: Your $1 in wealth is someone elses $1 in debt.

I've watched my fair share of their journalisticish videos- they feel very one-sided and don't consider how damaging their coverage can be to their subjects- filming the faces of guerilla fighters in a third-world country seems to me like a really inconsiderate idea.

Sure, they cover things that no one else will, but they also cover things in a way that no one else does, either.

Well, if you remove all iOS versions with <3.42% penetration, then you should remove the same from the Android table and use 2 decimals for Android like for iOS.

https://i.imgur.com/0Ar0ta5.png

My point being: there ARE other iOS versions in use. I have a backup working iPhone 4 turned on right now. It won't upgrade beyond iOS 5 (I think it's iOS 5). But somehow the author ignores all those 0.1% iOS versions, yet shows them for Android (with 4 decimals no less).
Remember that fossil fuel burning power plants also generate a ton of waste and nobody has a realistic plan to clean that up either (beyond CO2 extraction or geo-engineering, neither of which are more plausible than nuclear waste containment).

It's easy to argue nuclear power sucks when compared to a theoretical ideal. When compared to forms of power that dump their problematic waste into the atmosphere where it's nearly impossible to get back, having the nasty stuff conveniently packed into cylinders, ready for dropping into the continental shelf, doesn't seem like such a bad deal.
If you study lucid dreaming, more of your dreams will become like that. Extra real. You'll have to use "reality checks" to know whether it's a dream. That's usually how you wake up inside a dream to begin with, though. You'll be able to control some, too.

Lucid dreaming resources will teach you about all that. You'll probably enjoy it.

So, I don't think anything in this post is wrong, it just feels like incredibly generic advice.

Your board members are some of your most important relationships. We've had incredible amounts of success using our one Board Observer to make connections and introductions, but I think that's in part because we've basically treated her as if she was a board member.

This in some ways feels like a treatise on packing a suitcase. Yes, there are some general principles. You might be a roll-guy or a fold-every-piece lady but when it comes down to it you've got a set of clothes no body else does and a surprising bag with a pocket here and a pocket there. When it comes down to it though, there aren't that many pieces, whether they're wrinkled or not is important, so you probably just want to take a second to make sure each piece is in a reasonable spot and doing what you want with it.

You're going to want to lean on board members for hiring, for advice, for connections, for context and encouragement, and for strategy. Get to know them. Learn how they think. Learn how you can deploy them and how they want to be deployed. Don't lean too hard on general principles, just manage them.

Similar to how I’d protect young children: get them an iPad, pre-install essential apps, whitelist some web domains, and require your authorization for any new app installs or domain whitelisting. You’ll find that their web browsing actually is limited to a few domains, and they should never learn to bank, etc. outside the apps.
I agree with that, but it doesn't answer the question of how to account for negative wealth in a X% of americans own Y% of wealth calculation. In scenario 2, Bob has negative net wealth. In scenario 3, Bob has zero net wealth (which is why 1 and 3 are equivalent, not 2).

Supposing we had a scenario where once all accounts are settled, Alice has 2 seashells, and Bob had -1 seashells, does alice have 100% of all wealth? 200%? (Equivalently, Alice has 1, Bob has 0, and Bob owes Alice 1)

It's both carrot and stick. The average person breaks even. The green person comes out ahead. The wasteful person is in the red, and has a strong incentive to be greener.

Now, a fun wrinkle is that on average, most of us are below average. Sorry, joke. What I mean is that the median output is below the average output. That's because it's not a linear curve, but a slope where the byper-wealthy have disproportionate weight. So because the median is below the average, it's also a progressive scheme in that the majority of participants will be at break-even or better.

> The national homeownership rate for the first quarter of 2019 was 64.2%, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That is below the historic average of 65.2%, which dates back to the 1960s.

Ugh I really wish we stopped caring so much about homeownership. Misguided pro-homeownership policies got rates unusually high in the mid 2000s, reaching almost 70% by 2005. It had no impact on wealth equality and almost certainly made the Great Recession worse, if not causing it entirely.
> For 40 years the top tax bracket was not less than 70% and for 10 years in that time the top tax bracket was not less than 90%.

During the times when those rates were in effect there were so many deductions that nobody with an accountant actually paid them. It wasn't just that business expenses were deductions, people were deducting their homes and personal vehicles and everything.

> Basically, don't be a hoarder. If you really think you can spend your money better than the government, grow or start a business and take a tax deduction which will permit you to avoid the tax.

That is the exact thing the rich do already, which is why wealth inequality continues to increase -- if you make money and use it to grow your business (which is a tax deduction) then you make even more money, which you then use to grow your business...

The canonical example of doing this is probably Amazon, a company that for years made no "profit" not because it was hiding it offshore but because it was reinvesting it all. Which at one point had the highest market cap of any company and is still in the top three, and Bezos is the richest man.

But that's not even the biggest reason for the increase in wealth inequality we've seen. It's the cheap credit. If you lower interest rates for years, people are willing to borrow more which inflates asset prices. Then people are forced to pay interest on money they otherwise wouldn't have had to borrow to begin with in order to pay the higher cost of housing and education, meanwhile stock prices increase because demand there is driven by people borrowing too.

The result is that ordinary people have to borrow money and pay interest just to live, which reduces their wealth, meanwhile the borrowing-driven demand increases the value of assets already owned by the wealthy, which increases their wealth.

To fix this, interest rates have to increase. And then there are two options. The first is that housing and stock prices crash as people sell to pay back the loans they can't afford at the higher interest rates. The second is that we raise interest rates while printing enough money to cause inflation sufficient to offset the reduction in asset values, which effectively leaves housing and stock prices where they are but allows for non-asset inflation (i.e. allows wages to rise) to catch up with them. Bonus points if the printed money funds a UBI.
Sure, go for it.

What is pretty much missing from almost all articles about the top N% having M% of some resource where N < M is a discussion of what percent the top N% should have.

Note that unless everyone should have exactly the same amount of whatever resource is under discussion, then the answer to that question is not N should equal M, because that is mathematically impossible.

Developing a new programming language for NLP type applications
This happened to me when I had general anesthesia with propofol a few days ago. I am a Norwegian native speaker, but when I woke up on the operating table I spoke English to the nurses for 2-3 minutes. They pointed out to me several times that I was speaking in English, but at first I wasn't really able to switch to Norwegian. Don't know why. I was quite groggy and elated and told them a few quite private things which are now a bit embarrassing to think about, all in English.

When I finally switched to Norwegian they seemed pleased and left me alone.

But most users are not developers, and "developer" is the relevant category here, not "user". So saying "user" is inaccurate.

I'm not unsympathetic to this. However, even if other developers were at fault, that doesn't mean Dominic wasn't. Not deprecating the package, and not telling anyone when he handed over the publish rights to a random person who emailed him, is still wrong even if the developers who used his package were wrong as well.
It looks good. Of course the real question is whether it's just lip service to look good, or whether the company as a whole really wholeheartedly embodies these values.

It's not just Anandtech.

I feel like the entire "PC enthusiast" review space has dropped the ball on hardware vulnerabilities. Reevaluating performance between microcode and OS patches is an afterthought, and when a new CPU hits the market the numbers are presented without the obvious disclaimer that these performance gains may evaporate within months.

Some even perpetuate the "only relevant to datacenter" myth despite the fact that security researchers have shown to be able to exploit these vulnerabilities with JavaScript in the browser.
They go hand in hand, and are not mutually exclusive, instead often feeding one another in myriad ways.

Housing is an obvious one - the rich accumulate capital, the gross inequality reduces the market for the "good" kinds of investment capitalism is purported to promote - small business creation, innovation, etc - so without opportunity - and wealth inequality diminishes opportunity society-wide - the rich will instead find other avenues to grow their slice of the pie. Buying politicians for tax cuts like were seen last year, speculative housing bubbles because of the few things that are scarce and nobody can opt out of land occupancy is one of them (and the poor want to move towards opportunity, almost exclusively found in cities in the modern era, where land capture can be made its most lucrative), stock buybacks in corporations, etc.

So housing prices go up, lack of collective power means the working class see no wage increases, debt has to increase to maintain lifestyle. Higher debt means less potential for upward mobility and the lenders are almost exclusively the rich - so you are constantly making short term loans where the interest is diverted from your productive gains right in the pockets of creditors.

But its not just housing. There are dozens of nigh independently influenced aspects of living in the US that are impacted by wealth disparity and the distorting effects its concentration have on liberty, prosperity, even security. But almost all of them cause increases in debt because as you get relativistically poorer the fixed costs of life go up and you cannot opt out of them.
I agree that is a mostly solved problem.

It still seems weird to call nuclear "clean", when the thing you have to obsess over is not leaking one of the deadliest materials in existence.

> Why should he be penalized for what someone else's grandparents did?

I'm not convinced that you're asking in good faith, but I'm going to try to be optimistic and answer anyway.

Most of us can agree that there are demographics who have been systematically disadvantaged and that we live in an economy where advantages are often passed from one generation to another. This cascading injustice is similar to a relay race, where cheating in the first leg of the race affects the outcome in the last leg of the race.

In a race you'd be able to disqualify the team that cheated regardless of whether all of the members were complicit, but we can't disqualify white people from the economy. It's also unacceptable to ignore the injustice, as it continues to perpetuate those disadvantages into the future.

Instead, the idea is to try to counter those disadvantages by focusing on inclusivity rather than optimizing for people who want to keep the advantages that they've inherited through injustice.

To answer your question: the things that you feel are being taken away from you were never yours to begin with.
I don't think that's how it works. The CPU can adjust it's frequency through a much larger range, the base clock is not the minimum frequency it will run at all the time.

Slavery was enforced by the government prior to the 13th amendment. So no, its not a valid example of government increasing its power over the people, its an example of limiting its power.

The Bill of Rights was about limiting the power of the (federal) government, but subsequent Amendments have both increased and decreased the power of the government.

In the North the government had outlawed slavery prior the Civil War. in the South, the Amendment promulgated Lincoln's wartime decree freeing the slaves. The Amendment limited the power of the states to enforce slavery and enshrined the power of the federal government to ban slavery.

The 16th Amendment gave the government the power to levy an income tax. The 18th Amendment, i.e., Prohibition, gave the government the power to ban alcohol (until it was rescinded by the 21st Amendment).

Liberal .* hypocrisy would match a lot of things...
Barring legislative capture by the rich (which happens a lot because of their distortedly large influence) just taking money out of their pockets does a lot to remedy a lot of the negative consequences of such high inequality. They could tax the rich, straight pay off federal debt obligations, and society would be healthier for it.

Wealth inequality is more about the influence money has in both micro and macro-economic and social contexts than "I want what they have". Its no different than how other monopolizations work - the more of a supply you hold, the more distorted the market is around you. The same applies to money. Except money impacts all aspects of society, all markets - it gives you a greater voice in government, gives you influence over the lives of upwards of billions of people, etc. Just taking away that power from private individuals is often by itself a net positive for liberty.
hahaha! It gets the job done, though!
Tldr:

1) you know where lies come from: people you know. Therefore you can trust people who tell the same lies.

2) you can trust people who believe your lies because believing lies is more expensive than going with the truth, because expensive signals are harder to fake.

3) the truth hurts. No one wants to follow someone who hurts them. We prefer to follow people who lie to us so we will feel better.
Base frequency isn't the same as lowest frequency (ya... it's weird). Base frequency is vaguely related to the idea that if you had all cores running at the base frequency, you would run just about at the system's TDP (it's really a complete mess, this is a simplification). Your system can still drop CPU cores down to 400-800MHz in low energy states.

What this announcement is basically saying is that Intel now has a 8 core chip where all 8 cores can run at 5GHz indefinitely "out of the box".
