How Stoic Were Thomas Jefferson's Ten Rules for Daily Life?
So punish smaller European firms first just to not give the impression that it's anti-US? Or go after the companies actually doing it at scale and owning most of the market?

What irrationality, twisting everything to be some secret anti-US agenda than to just assume/see the obvious that the big players are the big offenders and they happen to be US players (for now).
Depends on the car. Try a decent sports car with a performance gearbox. My previous car was an m140i. 0-60 for the automatic is actually stated as faster for the automatic gearbox, as the car is better at shifting than a human.

I don’t think Ferrari even make manual gearboxes with clutches any more?
No, manual transmissions are a clear loser when it comes to responsiveness. You have to manually disengage the clutch, manually change the gear and manually engage the clutch.

For comparison, the dual clutch transmission in the Nissan GT-R can shift in 0.15 seconds and that's a 10+ year old car. The ZF 8HP, which is a conventional torque converter transmission used for example in the new BMW M5, is apparently able to do gear changes in about 0.2 seconds.

Sure, you can have an automatic that is incredibly slushy, but that's not an inherent quality to automatic transmissions.
How can anyone take this seriously?

Yes of course just building windmills and solar panels will not solve everything on its own. That is why massive investments in active control in the grid and more research about backup sources is required.

Writing a long article about these challenges and completely omitting the very real and long-term dangers of nuclear energy is just bad journalism.
I don’t understand what it is that the Chinese authorities are supposedly misreporting?

The mortality rate of 2% is consistent with the number of cases and deaths reported by other countries.

Is it that there are a large number of undiagnosed cases? That is kind of a given and is probably also the case in other countries.

The timespan between first case and until it gets reported to who and quarantines start is less than a month. To me that seems very fast (but I am just a layperson).
wow, $4,000 cpu. I know I wouldn't spend $4k on a CPU if I had that money right now.
For me it's similar to the reason why I like having a mechanical pendulum clock on my wall. A quartz clock keeps much better time, but there's something cool about being able to see the gears turning. Vinyl isn't quite like that, but it's a lot closer than an MP3 player. There's also something about the imperfections of vinyl, the noise, clicks, and pops, that is a valuable part of the experience for me, probably because I came of age in a pre-digital world.
> Doctors there were running "naked" as they knew they were set to be infected given the shortage of protective gear. They still worked there nonetheless.

This was one of the most tragic things in that article.

The doctors, nurses, and health workers are the front line soldiers in this fight against the virus. And they don’t have the protective gear that they need to stay safe, and to keep the population safe, as well as the rest of the world.

I hope they can fight the infection, and survive, and live to fight another day. We need them!

Neem oil works 100% (and is a single-source natural plant oil), but it's a smelly oil (strong nutty smell) and, being oil, means you have to get all slicky in order to be effective.

With neem, they may fly around you, but they never land on you. They hate its smell, and also, the oil's compound kills them / makes them and all other small insects sterile.

So yeah if you're wearing clothes then they have to be ones you're prepared to get oil on and then wash it out using hot water and baking soda or whatever.

Hmm, my experience has been resolutely great; we just upgraded to 64 thread 3970x's with 256GB of RAM, and pretty much everything worked smoothly out of the box; I'm very pleasantly surprised by the lack of tuning necessary.

We did do the math and decided that for us 4GB per thread is likely safe up front; 2GB per thread might have been pushing it. Another reason to avoid the 3990x (for us) was the tricky scaling of the previous generation's 2990WX; We don't have faith that all of our code would run well on the more memory-channel constrained machine.

I mean, if you're just running a single fairly small build, sure, it's likely overkill...

We once got spammed by Columbia Universities' IP arm when we were a tiny startup. They just send us this giant booklet of random patents with the strong implication that there was some relevance to what we were doing, but it just seemed like a bulk trolling effort.

There is just so much lack of general awareness about the things that can go wrong with your body once you're past the midpoint. Most young people are oblivious, just like I used to be.

Now I'm 40, and this Sunday night I start seeing double when gazing above the horizon. After finding an opthalmologist who would see me immediately and getting MRIs and blood tests, it is diagnosed as idiopathic optical inflammatory syndrome and mostly treatable (although it tends to come back). I suppose I should be happy it's not a tumour in my brain.

Ah youth, wasted on the young.
If you're running some form of ntp, the underlying hardware doesn't matter that much. An offset greater than 0.5s is probably caused by ntp not running, time jumps during hibernation, automatic VM live migrations, or other virtualization issues. Not sure how bad a time jump of 0.5s really is, but in the past those did not happen on servers, so there are old ntp configs that attempt to correct it over days. Probably a mistake, because the instant correction of a large time jump should have no worse effects than the time jump itself.
As well they should have, the toys were great.
It's not the calculation part that's the problem, it's the investment part (and perhaps also labor part).
ThinkPads last forever. I'm still on a T420 and X220 (travel), upgraded SSD and new batteries, and have no desire to change.
Your totally on point. From an audio quality stand point, people will argue to the bone that it’s better because there is “infinite” resolution. In reality that doesn’t really matter because of the resolution things are pressed at, and since most music now a days comes from a digital source.

The way sound can differ from a digital release is in the mixing. (Since the stylus is physically moving, a mix that’s too “hot” can actually throw the needle off.) This mixing can sound better from a digital release (It could be because these engineers have more practice, or because of those physical constraints). The medium also generally sounds warmer.

As for me personally, I have a handful of records. I don’t really listen to them, but I like supporting the artist, along with having something physical to show off.

An important problem is the fog in the winter months. The nights are longer than in summer and the ground cools off. Moisture condenses and fog develops. The Swiss plateau is special that it is essentially a wide valley about 60 miles wide and 200 miles long. The Rhine and the Rhone rivers leave Switzerland through constrictions. So the cold air tends to stay. During the day the sun warms the clear air above the fog such that a temperature inversion manifests itself. Such a situation can be very stable for weeks. Sometimes it even snows slightly under the fog cover. The Swiss living in the plateau complain about the depressing dark and gray weather and try to flee as often as they can by going up somewhere, sometimes the next hill is enough if the fog cover is not very high. Some cities are more affected than others, for example Zurich, Lucerne and Aarau can have months of fog some years.

I hate everything about CDs. The flimsy jewel cases that break all the time, the tiny artwork, how easily CDs scratch, how choosing a song requires clicking stupid buttons, the delay after inserting CDs, the high pitched whine of the motor, the sound of the stepper motor as it moves the laser...

When I listen to music, I want to slow down and relax, and taking a record out of the sleeve is just so much nicer than fidgeting with CDs. I like that everything about playing records is analog. I like the crackle between songs when playing an old record, it's so much nicer than the random skipping when playing a scratched CD. When something breaks in my analog audio system, I can usually fix it myself with a soldering iron.

As for the sound, I think it's mostly because of a different style of mixing than the media itself.

White House reportedly aims to double AI research budget to $2B
I think the savings in planning for low duty cycle probably result from reduced redundancy i.e. installing one pressure pump instead of two. Which naturally means when there is a low chance of excess energy is a good time to work on maintaining the systems rather than just taking one off line and working on the other.

This means that you just staff it at a consistent level and plan the work around the energy levels.

Possibly because people who speak English fluently are flooded with blog posts and internet forum comments browbeating them into avoiding difficult things?

Something that hasn't been mentioned so far: Some forms of DJ'ing kinda rely on vinyl. You can speed up or slow down the vinyl on the player by hand.

There are devices that try to simulate this experience, I think they've gotten better over time. I think vinyl DJ'ing has been in decline in the past decade, however it's definitely still one factor that's been keeping vinyl alive.

That's a truism. For all versions of Python. If you use feature of python ver X, you should not be surprised that it doesn't run on versions less than X that lack that feature!!!

If you write a Python library and use feature of Python ver X and don't mark library as only >= Python ver X, you are doing it wrong and a horrible person.

Apparently, there were two companies in the US that produced the lacquer but then consolidation happened and Apollo bought out the competitor and shut it down. [1]

>Gil Tamazyan, the owner of Los Angeles record pressing plant Capsule Labs, said he's been concerned for the industry since Apollo purchased competitor Transco in 2007.

>"The worst case from (the fire) would be if Apollo doesn't plan to return and doesn't share the intellectual properties with another new willing company. We all agree there needs to be more than one supplier for these materials," Tamazyan said. "All my industry colleagues are worried this might take a long time to figure out and, in the process, major delays may arise in the vinyl production market."

So now only the Japanese company, MDC, remains as the sole producer of the lacquer. Lacquer is basically a formulation of nitrocellulose and is highly flammable.

If you've never seen a lacquer master being cut, give this vid a watch [2]. Not surprisingly, the audio engineer uses the Apollo lacquer master in the video.

"Eradicating any organism would have serious consequences for ecosystems — wouldn't it? Not when it comes to mosquitoes, finds Janet Fang."

Some ecosystems would be altered for sure but it doesn't appear to be widely believed that there would be serious disruption.

"There are 3,500 named species of mosquito, of which only a couple of hundred bite or bother humans."

We know we don't need them and we don't believe that the earth needs them, but we could start with eradicating the couple hundred species that pester us.

I never really had vinyls but tapes before CDs. Something was very different, even more with the shift to MP3. I stipped to listen the full album, started to skip the "bad" songs. So the experience is different. So I did play the "good" tracks much more and many times, which was cool. But at the same time, I felt they lost some of there magic. On tape you had to "earn" the good songs a bit more. Of course you could fast forward also on tape, but with the CD, MP3s some magic got lost for me.

Everything sounds great to me. A lot of my older records have cracks and pops and minor scratches and I’ve heard them so much during the opening and gaps between songs that I actually recognise the patterns and it becomes part of the anticipation. Albums that are continuous pieces of music despite the tracks (e.g. Lovesexy, Parade) sound terrible on digital because there’s always a gap between the tracks and that doesn’t happen on CD or record. Also, it’s a lot less friction to pull out a record and play it than finding the phone, opening Spotify, searching for the album, switching to play through the remote Spotify connect, adjusting the volume in two places.

I do both. Digital music is way more convenient to initiate, continue, store and take with you -- so I use that the most. But, it's almost too convenient in some cases to the point where I often don't appreciate what is really happening and the music just becomes background noise. Although it's obviously possible, I rarely use digital music to sit and listen to an entire album anymore.

On the other hand, when I listen to a record, I sit down and I listen to the record. I mean, you kind of have to do that anyway because you only get a few songs before you have to flip it. I find it makes me more mindful of the music; I feel more in-the-moment; and it reminds me of my youth. That was a time when we couldn't just tell our phone to start playing an AI curated playlist while everyone talks over it anyway. I'm not convinced we would we have wanted to do that either...

People rarely talk about music anymore, compared to what it used to be like. We used to line up when a new album was coming out from a favorite artist. We'd take the tape or cd from our car, into our bedroom, over to our friend's houses, and blast it on our parent's floor speakers before they came home from work. We used to talk about that album for days, sometimes months as we got deeper into it after many replays. I can't remember the last time I had a good conversation about a new album... few seem to care anymore. A lot of people will blame the music, but there is still some great music being made today.

Maybe it's the medium.

usually vinyls are not impacted by the loudness war[0] they are mastered for people who care about audio quality, have good audio equipment and listen to music in a silent environment.
music mastered for radio/streaming is for people with earbuds who listen to music in a noisy environment and as a second activity (listening while driving, exercising, working, dancing)
