The True Story of CivilWar2 and CivilWarPotluck
My comment/retort would be that there is no shortage of 'may' predictive articles arguing just about anything you can think of. It would be easy to find a counter 'may' article arguing the opposite of this one, but who has time for that...
With nonCPU blobs there is (usually) a memory boundary. Would the bus between the devices be exploitable? Perhaps, but at least it could be hardened, which is not the case with the ME controller. How much the ME controller actually participates in the boot process is irrelevant as long as its position within it can completely and undetectably compromise the entire system.

You should look at the libreboot project and read their blurb on why they do not support post-2013 processors.

Trying to sell the devices described as open is harmful to the term. They're not. Perhaps the only devices which are at this time are the IBM POWER processors and the Raptor CS motherboards, discounting any silicon backdoors, and in the case of the Raptor motherboard, the ASpeed BMC.
I don't see how that is relevant.

If I don't use Apple products, I can't get my apps removed by the Chinese government.
Docker's build system is really strange. The build cache assumes that your dependency tree is linear, and it will invalidate the build cache if any file dependency changes, but a `RUN apt install foo` doesn't invalidate the cache--it's just assumed that every RUN statement is idempotent. Further, the Dockerfile's COPY is close to worthless--if you want to import all of your repo's Python packages, you have to put them all under a single directory or you have to copy them one by one (or you copy the whole repo and deal with the fact that every JS and README change will trigger a complete rebuild). Also, everything depends on a running Docker daemon and last I checked, the performance degraded if you tried to build multiple images in parallel.

Animal products have more active and bio available nutrients than plants. Eat nose to tail, why not include liver? There is nothing you can't get from animal products that you get from plants. One can, and people do live on meat alone. But you can't live on plant alone.
Have you been restricting dietary fats during the "veggies and chicken" periods? I found that to enormously impact my moods. Once I added back fats (butter, avocado, peanut butter, nuts, etc) I was back to normal. Don't underestimate dietary fat and it's impact on your mood.

> "Jeremy Corbyn generally voted for more EU integration". If you're wondering who gave you the impression that the exact opposite of the truth was true

To get a neutral source on this before I posted my last post, I went to Wikipedia, where it says JC voted against:

- The 1975 EC referendum

- Maastrict treaty

- Lisbon treaty

In addition to these very important votes, there are an awful lot of absences and no votes on the link you sent. I am really not sure how that site drew the conclusion it did. If it was simply by tallying votes without weighing their importance, that is a bad way to do it.

I am well aware British media is awful, possibly even worse than US media, so I don't really get most of my information from there. When I do read it, I take it with a huge grain of salt. Most of my opinions about Corbyn himself come from watching him in PMQs and in Parliament debates.

> If you divorce personality and ask people about policies... most people agree with Labour's

Entirely possible and I take no issue with any of Labour's positions except on Brexit. If Brexit weren't happening and I were a UK citizen, I could easily see myself voting Labour. As it is, I would probably vote LD.

As for Corbyn, I was merely saying he was on the left side even within his own party in the current day. You are not wrong about the Overton window but it does not change this reality.
OCI provides a standard container image format, at least. Assuming your whole toolchain is compatible, then it shouldn't be an issue.

My understanding of why using cron for background tasks with web apps isn't great in production is keeping track of things when you have distributed servers. I think cron is pretty limited in scope to whatever machine it is running on.

You can define real food as non processed food with minimal (usual one) ingredient. Pizza is usually made from processed flour.

Pretty much all compiled code at System76 is currently written in Rust if possible. There's obviously still some C that gets written, but Rust is the de facto standard language here now.
I think I learned -7 or -8 assembly in my comp org class. It had about 8 instructions and you had to make your own division instruction, and I think multiplication.

Then we moved onto a bit of 680x0. Yeah, that was different.

Agreed. I was blown away in Japan though. They have Panasonic and Mitsubishi dryers that are similar looking to the Dyson models but they're much quieter and don't seem to have the same design problems (somehow) or they're just better at keeping them clean (probably).
Up through 5th grade I felt self-sufficient, powered by an internal radiant contentment and warmth. I was reading Orson Scott Card and Eoin Colfer, watching Code Lyoko, learning PHP/MySQL, world-building in my imagination. I had a rich internal life and just wasn't that interested in my classmates.

At the onset of middle school, social/emotional needs appeared out of nowhere, all at once. It was like getting hit by a truck.

I tend to think that's just growing up, but an it's an interesting thought that the institution plays a role.
The OP was vague on why exactly hermetic builds are required to achieve fast builds. The only concrete thing they mentioned is caching which doesn't require hermetic builds (in the strict sense, as in preventing any outside changes) provided you can detect changes accurately.

To give a specific example, Bazel may prevent you from accidentally using a different version of the compiler while build2 will detect that you are attempting to use a different version.
In terms of model expressiveness, I made a functional NN building API for PyTorch (just like keras'), which offers the optimal balance of flexibility and expressiveness:

This sounds like in theory and makes you curse in practice. Trained TF model -> deployment using TF Lite is the most robust pipeline currently as far as I know.

There are lots of improvements going into pytorch for mobile at the moment, but for the moment I'll wait and see how it turns out - I didn't have much fun with caffe2 when "train in pytorch and deploy with caffe2" was the storyline FB pushed (e.g. problems with binary size and slow depthwise convolutions) so not too eager to migrate back at the moment.
> People voted for Boris

Actually no.

The people have never voted for Boris to lead, and they have never voted for the present government either.

Boris was voted into his position by 0.13% of the population.

...

As for Brexit. Well, people do like to say it was a democratic referendum 3 years ago (while saying more votes would be undemocratic).

But to believe that, you have to be happy to ignore the 4 million adults (5.5 million if you include 16+ year olds) who weren't allowed to vote but whose lives are most directly and severely affected by it. Include Brit pensioners abroad who are now talking about losing access to essential medical care but unable to move back (because they own homes in the EU at prices that don't work for moving to the UK), and non-Brit EU citizens, some of whom are expected to be deported in due course, breaking up families. (Forget about the non-EU families of EU citizens, who always had shitty treatment, so they're used to having no say.)

That does not fit any true definition of democracy that I could call decent. "No taxation without representation" and all that.

This article (which I only just stumbled across while searching for something else) sets it out as a violation of several types of human rights, and I basically agree since I was thinking the same thing for a while now:

"In some respects the Brexit referendum was a violation of human rights" https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2017/02/09/brexit-referen...

"2019, on the other hand..."
That is unfortunately the essence of the issue surfacing with South Park, Blizzard, NBA, & now Apple. The Chinese market is the "wallet" and China is "voting" with it.

They have the ability to almost instantly evaporate a multi-billion dollar market. That is the kind of "wallet power" (somewhat idealistic) democratic-capitalist consumers like to think they have, but never really execute on with the same impact. This isn't defeatism on my part - things could be different - but they aren't for now.
I don't understand your comment at all.

All the NYSE has to do is enforce it's own existing rules and nearly every Chinese company on its index would be kicked off.

Great post detailing everything wrong with Catalina so far. I installed it on my personal Mac, and that scared me off of ever installing it on my work laptop. Hopefully I can jump to whatever the next thing is. Or maybe it's time to get off Macs for good.

They can and do when a substitute product exists.
In this regard, macOS works almost exactly how I wish the iPhone worked. Apple makes a curated app store available to users which they monitor for security and privacy violations, and they prevent the execution of unsigned code.

However, users can allow unsigned apps with a quick Terminal command, and even grant them low-level privileges like kernel access with a somewhat less-quick Terminal command.
I wish I could vote you up more than once.

Our knowledge of more than coarse grained dietary needs and effects is grossly overestimated. That vacuum is exploited by commercial interests that typically vilify any form of consumption moderation, and focus instead on promoting one (over)consumption pattern over another.

"Eat lots of different things in moderation because honestly we do not know in enough detail what we need" is sound advice, but sadly just benefits the "patient" and not some profit maximizing economic lobby group.
And congrats Radically Open Security
I don't think it's the same thing. Apple has at least three options:

- Have a store with, say, quality control, and the option to side-load

- Have a store with "quality control" (and, as I see it, some rather large levers to fight competition), no option to side-load, but don't bow to state actors

- same, but bow to state actors.

I wish it's the first, I thought it's the second, but we now see it's the third. I think the the third is worse than the second option.
Sounds like you could start one!
> That may be different now with the various flavors of TF (like TF Eager)

Unfortunately, if anything I think it's the opposite. The constant creation and deprecation of TF flavors (tf-eager, tf-slim, tf-learn, keras, tf-estimator, tf.contrib [RIP]) has made reading tensorflow code online somewhat disastrous. Everybody, including the TF team, is using a different API and it's difficult to keep all of them straight. It seems that you're doomed to end up using some combination of many of the above in a way that makes sense to you and your team, adding another confusing model to the pile.
> both systems protected against Spectre, Meltdown etc. (i.e. no cheating by ignoring the ISA specifications)

Does the x86 specification say "speculation will have no observable side effects on the memory subsytem"? I wasn't aware of that. In other words, Spectre/Meltdown are bad security flaws, but I don't think they're the result of cheating.
This is a talk from 2012, so I believe the title needs a “(2012)” suffix according to what I’ve seen in the past on HN.
> Also, cmake has become the de facto solution for open source libraries, not sure why they would select something else

It is definitely not the de facto solution for open source. After using CMake as a C++ developer, I will never use CMake again. I simply don't have time to write a program in a slow, stringly-typed, ad hoc DSL just to build my actual program.
The UI for it may be the toughest unsolved problem. Something must be done to simplify and group concepts. You can't just give the user a barrage of micro-permission dialogs.

The “State of Zero-Rating” Report
Yup, you make some great points and I couldn't agree more. Very recently, I was looking into training an object-detector for a custom problem with not many training examples. One of the classes (hardest one to train from few examples) was "person".

I was able to create a custom detection network for a 3-class problem, load up the COCO pretrained weights for the network, strip out all the other weights at the "head" for all the other COCO classes except for the "person" class and then fine-tune the model on my custom 3-class dataset. The resulting model generalized exceptionally well on people as it was still able to retain a lot of its performance from the COCO pre-training. It was so easy to do all of this. Literally, maybe 10 lines of code, and so easy to figure out since I could introspect the state_dict and the weights file directly in my PyCharm interpreter while working out how to do this.
Will I think part of that is that a surgeon or pill tell you simple instructions and you have a good idea on what to get back. Exercise is way better but you get no guidance on whether you're doing it right or if it's working.
The other aspect is that the shelf life of DNA can be significantly longer than other mediums. I haven't personally done anything with DNA data storage, but the idea is that tape storage is good for 30-50 yrs, but we can recover intact DNA from mammoths (~10,000 yrs)

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with this project, I'm also a programmer isn't part of it's target demographic. But:

Are you suggesting that if somebody wanted to setup a basic scrapper, they should learn how to install python, use packages, figure out how the webpage is structured, and dig through the page source to figure out how to extract their data?

This project has a decent visual data picker, interface, etc. You could literally hand it to a non-programmer, and have them scraping comments off hacker news without any programming knowledge at all.

I get paid over 25$/hr professionally as a programmer. This project costs 40$ one time. I'm not saying it's worth the money, but all it has to do is save somebody 2 hours of time.

If you are a programmer then this project likely isn't for you.
Maybe because they don't have mobile versions of their new Zen 2 based chips yet. I'm planning on nursing my current laptop until those are out and make it into laptops. But I figure that is at least a year out as they haven't even announce any mobile Zen 2 chips yet.
"I'm talking about the predictions that the Sacramento valley will flood, as I mentioned upthread, and various other doom-and-gloom predictions that clearly haven't come to be."

What prediction? Who said this? When? You're entire reference upthread for this is "I saw a map back in the 80s". Without knowing who drew that map and why, we can't really know what to make of it, can we? For all we know it was made as a satire of global warming predictions, or was designed by a fringe group with limited understanding of the subject matter, or you're making it up to make a point. Unless you can find an example of actual scientists (and not just one, but a group of them) predicting inundation of the Sacramento valley then you have no case for claiming 'alarmism' in that regard.

And besides that, even if alarmism were an issue, that doesn't mean that there isn't a serious issue underlying it. You need to look at what the actual science predicts, not just the people who glom on to climate change as a cause célèbre, and you need to match those predictions to the outcome. The outcome of that comparison might surprise you.

For an analogy, if Bob told you that eating a single milligram of arsenic were to instantly kill you, he would be wrong and would be exaggerating its real effects, but that would not mean that arsenic is somehow not poisonous or that you can ignore its poisonous effects. People can and do die of arsenic poisoning.

Relatedly: why no AMD GPUs? AMD's much more cooperative with Linux than Nvidia is or probably ever will be at this rate, and performance is great even with the FOSS drivers (as I've observed on both my Dell Precision 7510 and the Threadripper + Radeon rig I built about a year ago).

Like, it's kinda maddening that "the" household name in Linux laptops (if there is such a thing) has zero laptops with an AMD GPU as an option.
Unsurprising. Dyson can barely make vacuum cleaners anymore.

I remember a while back they tried to make a washing machine, totally over engineered it with a drum spinning both ways at once so it would finish the cycle quicker. The downside? It was 6 inches or so deeper than other machines and stuck right out into your kitchen. No thanks.
As someone in my late 20s with cartilage damage in both my knees and back due to sports, this progress can’t come soon enough. I miss running a lot (and miss not having constant back pain), and it’s confounding to me why something that appears so simple, cartilage repair, has made almost no real progress over decades (I know it’s not simple). I keep following the research and hoping new discoveries will eventually lead to something tangible.

It's not a capital gains transaction. It's a receipt of income transaction.

You receive crypto worth $X that you paid $0 for. Thus, you have $X in income and owe income taxes on that. If you paid $Y for the crypto, then you had $X-$Y in income (similar to in-the-money stock options). Your cost basis would be $Y in the $X of coins, so if you ever sell them, then your income is $Z (value at time of sale) less $Y in capital gains.
