There has to be a balance, and that balance has to be continually tested in the courts.

So on the face of it, I do think it's appropriate that journalists get charged when they commit a crime. Let a high court decide if indeed the public interest did outweigh the law, or somebody's privacy, or whatever. You can't codify it.

Some will call that a chilling effect, or harassment, but how else do you reliably test things like this?

OP here. I wish I had! Unfortunately that's my work machine and I don't have the time to somehow get my hands on a new fairly rare, very expensive motherboard, disassemble my workstation and rebuild it just to see if my motherboard is the culprit. From the experience of other owners of the 3970X, this problem happens with other TRX40 motherboards.
Parinfer + Cursive is my strategy too, and I describe it the same way (Pythonish).

This is definitely the least intimidating strategy for ecosystem newcomers.
Thanks for the feedback. The web version was added a while ago. I wanted people to use LearnObit as a desktop application. But I'll make it work in Firefox.

I can’t tell for sure from the article but I think they are accelerating protons with TNSA (target normal sheath acceleration). I worked in a lab in undergrad that was doing something similar, except with lithium instead of boron. The main challenges that I recall from a decade ago with TNSA are (WARNING: there almost certainly has been progress since a decade ago):

-Conversion efficiency of laser energy into ion (proton) kinetic energy

-TNSA accelerates mainly the contaminated layer on the back of targets, which may not be a big deal if you are interested in accelerating protons

-TNSA protons are not beam like. They do not have a uniform kinetic energy, and they have a wide angular divergence.

-Various laser related issues (prepulse, focal spot size/shape).

I also anticipate that it will have the same engineering problem as ICF/NIF, in that it will need to continuously replenish targets.
Tim pool says its fake news
I could imagine the dynamics in Virginia being more challenging than other states, given the relatively large size of municipalities (counties), where other states often have another level lower (township, town, city).

If you're trying to get Loudoun County to provide municipal fiber, that'd be a much bigger project/investment than a smaller municipality. Obviously some independent cities in Virginia are smaller (especially Falls Church), but most folks live in relatively large counties.

> Short sentences and clear points are more persuasive even if they're nonsense.

What you're describing is propaganda -- an emotional appeal that solicits mindless reaction. That's the basest form of communication -- hardly something to espouse as the paradigm for a good essay.

As Graham points out, the best essays often are not intended to persuade as much as inform. The essentials of writing that's useful to the reader are facts and logic, leading intuitively to a conclusion that is meaningful and important to the audience. HOW you achieve these ends matters less, be they short sentences or emotional appeals.

But illogic has no place in an informative essay. That's the bailiwick of provocateurs, politicians, and propaganda.
> Isn't this just the "As I've written in my last letter" for the e-mail era?

It might as well be. It just always struck me as wrong usage, for lack of better term. "Per", to me, is always in the sense of "for each": per month, per head, etc.

That said, I decided to look it up. And quoting from https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/as%20per:

> Is It Grammatically Correct to Say _as per_?

> ...The more ponderous as per is often found in business and legal prose, or in writing that attempts to adopt a formal tone. It is not incorrect to use, but some find it overly legalistic and counsel avoiding it for that reason. On the other hand, it has been used to good effect in facetious mock-business-English ("as per the President’s shiny new Environmental Policy Act"). ...

Looks like I'm not the only one who was puzzled by this turn of phrase. You learn new things everyday. :)

(edit: formatting)
You are correct. But what I meant is that the source of the problem was the same.

In this case, AMD wanted to keep using 6pin cable despite it not being approprite, on the 380 it just slowed it down.

On 380X, it is unstable, it still don't draw enough to melt things, but you need hackery to make the GPU useable

The 480 they outright made a GPU that used more power than the cables specs would allow, and insisted in using the same power delivery design the 380 had... Their "fix" to the issue was make patches that would just make the GPU run slow, and make it misbehave like the 380X does.

My basis? Quite obvious: if you are okay with inflation, this means that people who saves money end up worst off by subsidizing people who consume. This impacts society a lot, and especially, the poorest people without means that justify investing in the market (be it buying shares in companies, buying gold, or just having something in the bank better than a horrible savings account).

If they set up their own shops, then they'd be far less visible, and they wouldn't benefit from the reputations that fairer dealers get.

Those "random corporations" are a few very large players who have won the network effect lottery. Most people will go to the place that everybody knows, especially if it's cheap. There's only room in the public brain space for a small number of these. It's very hard to set up a new one, especially if its tag line is "More expensive but at least it won't kill you".

Such natural monopolies are frequently subject to regulation if they won't do it themselves, simply out of self-protection. They're not just the "closest entity"; they're a bottleneck where regulation is feasible. But such regulation is going to be more cumbersome if it comes from an outside entity, so they should take calls like this as a sign that it will be worse for them one way or the other. Today, they've got some flexibility in their solution.

I learned a long time ago to never get the most expensive motherboard (ASUS Republic of Gamers many years back): they're not as heavily tested as the cheaper ones. They are only ostensibly better; in practice, the mid-level "workstation-class" motherboards that feature similar capabilities but missing fancier options are put through the works and far more thoroughly tested and debugged. Just look at the BIOS changelogs and even the hardware revisions for high-but-not-flagship-high motherboards as compared to the flagship models. When you buy the top-of-the-line, you're on your own.

I now literally go out of my way not to get the flagship motherboard models, even if it means holding off on a purchase until a lower-spec'd model comes out, and have never regretted it since. (I also will never again buy Gigabyte motherboards, either.)
When you get to the root of it, there's not much to differentiate between something written to inform versus something written to persuade.

Is It Too Late to Buy Bitcoin in 2020? That’s Right, This Question Again
Amazon ships products from their warehouses, in their packaging, charges credit cards as "Amazon.com", provides customer support, and accepts product returns. This makes it generally indistinguishable to the consumer if they're purchasing from Amazon or a sketchy third party vendor, as simply the "best" deal gets populated into the buy box. Unless a consumer drills down into the full offer list, the specific 3rd party merchant and the corresponding ratings are completely hidden.

That's significantly different from someone running their own ecommerce site where they are very clearly the merchant of record.

Personalize Your Python Prompt
Core clock speeds are just some of the many variables that need to be adjusted on the fly. Everyone wants to provide as much performance as possible within the platform power limits. But a sudden change in the instruction stream can cause a big swing in a CPU core's power draw even if the core's clock speed and target voltage remain constant. And new instructions can show up a lot faster than the voltage regulators can respond. So handling transients is tricky, but it also looks like this case may be less about transients and more about a particular motherboard not being able to supply stable power for a workload that's tuned to push the limits as much as possible. Gigabyte may have missed their mark when considering what the worst-case power draw situation is that they need to design and test for.
They don’t care about fixing this. Fake goods are a promotion for their platform as long as the quality is not super terrible.

you can probably bodge it by running a bunch of copies with limited workers, then run your main copy, then kill the starters. or, you could fiddle with the CPU affinity.
I think you can argue the opposite as well ... the world is in fact defined in our minds as perceived by our senses. So the two people in the opening part of the article may both believe they know where MOMA is, but do they really share the same perception of the location? More simply, we agree on what defines the color red, but we have no real way of knowing that our mental model of red is the same.

I think an otherwise interesting point is obscured by your construing of a strawman argument:

>I don't feel like telling people that they shouldn't say anything wrong or potentially unimportant is the right way to go. That's a perfectionist attitude that stifles people's ability to explore, experiment, be wrong, learn, improve, and act.

It is dubious to imply that the author is trying to police what people can say and consequently how they can act: he's explicitly talking about _essays_, a literary form typically used for advancing arguments. By reframing his argument as an attempt at "telling people that they shouldn't say anything wrong," you're arguing against a much less interesting argument and sidestepping the central theme of _essays_ altogether.

In other words, I think the claim that good essays must not necessarilly show novelty, correctness, strength, and importance is a much more interesting argument, and, against correctness at least, one can probably find intellectual companionship among early 20th century futurists, dadaists, and later on fascists.
Without easy access to the relevant information? I mean how would the average customer know from the Amazon page or from even using the product that there is 751 times more lead than allowed in it?

If the distributor was required to test the product and put a large red banner "might induce lead poisoning" on the product page, then of course the consumer could choose. Alas, that's not the case.

sTRX4 can take one of three CPUs ranging from 24 to 64 cores. The TRX40 Aorus Xtreme that's mentioned in the thread should be the absolute top of the line even if it was launched before the 64 core monster was available. So I'd expect it to work just fine with the 3970X which is a 32 core part.

But I wonder if this is a Gigabyte issue who have a history of playing around with the power delivery and using "fake phases" (to the point where they now have to advertise their boards as having 16 "real phases"). As far as I can tell many (most?) reviewers benchmarked the board with 24 core CPUs and most likely skipped on the power intensive tests.

I am not sure why you are getting down voted but I did want to expand on this. I have a somewhat similar philosophy, though I still buy low value items from Amazon. What I discovered that online stores that have a truly seamless experience (for example well implemented apple pay etc) remove so much friction that the amazon option becomes less appealing. The issue is still with items that you would not know where to source from directly (like replacement part for a dishwasher) but these are usually low cost items anyway.
Thanks for sharing your experience. What version of Prime95 are you using? Make sure to use the latest one (v29.8 build 6). The only CPU options I see in the torture test settings are: (1) Disable AVX-512 (grayed out since unsupported on this CPU), (2) Disable AVX2, (3) Disable AVX. There's nothing about FMA3.
It's not the tech that's user-hostile. It's just the usual rent-seekers have cottoned on to how to leverage it to, well, seek rent.

Unfortunately those people will always be with us because it's not completely ethical to weed them out at birth.
That's something you can do outside of prime95; the schedutil scheduler does that by default, which I believe is why I had hard crashes with ondemand and not schedutil.

(Ok, it actually ramps up frequencies slower rather than lock out cores, but the effect is the same.)

Everytime I see some despicable software behavior my mind always envisions and reviles the programmer that allowed it to happen. I'm always disgusted at the depths humans will go to make more money.
The relevant question is whether it's still safer than relying on Windows 10 even so. Windows 10 has had so many problems that the answer to this is not obvious. If you're not connecting your computer directly to any untrusted network and only operate behind a firewall, the security of your applications is likely to be more important for your protection than the security of Windows itself.

Of course, Microsoft has engineered the market so that getting any new 7 systems is now intended to be impossible and exerted considerable influence to get people to move to 10, so which is safer is becoming a moot point.
I think that this is one of those spots where, if you want things to be ORM-friendly, you've got to bake it into the data model.

A good starting point is to use CR instead of CRUD. Append-only tables with soft deletes aren't necessarily the most performant, but they're naturally less susceptible to race conditions. The lack of destructive modification (under normal operation) also makes it easier to diagnose problems and keep audit trails.
It's clean but renewable not so much in two ways: they are planning one here at a depth of 2.5 to 3km. They expect it to last 30 years before the underground has cooled to much to be of use. Regenerating that heat (i.e. spreading the other heat to this area) will take a few hundred years they expect. And secondly: there is a limited amount of heat available in the earth. It's a lot of heat, but there is no meaningful amount of new heat coming in so it's just as renewable as our current oil supply.
That, or it's a DDR4 issue possibly? My post over at Level1Techs forum (story's link) lists a bunch of stress tests (but none as punishing as Prime95, in my experience).
Are workers not adults? I thought child labour was forbidden.
That was one of the few that I thought could handle the 64/128 part. However look at the output filtering: It's roughly the same if not a cap or two larger as what you'd find on x299... which is a higher voltage and thus has lower amperage requirements. I have yet to find a back of board shot but unless it has a ton of SMD AL-poly caps back there that board would still struggle with the ramp described in the thread. Even then I'm not sure the socket resistance wouldn't cause enough V-droop to cause a crash anyway.
>Check the publications page for the encouraging part. They might be wrong but they're doing real science. I've personally spoken to a fusion scientist who thought they might be on to something.

I checked the publications page and so far I'm not seeing any real theory here. That doesn't mean it's wrong, but it certainly feels weird. The most in-depth equation I saw in any of their linked papers is the definition of the electromagnetic field tensor.

I'm not saying you couldn't develop a fusion reactor by doing purely experimental work with bleeding-edge laser technology. But I'd feel a lot more confident if they were to produce, for example, some kind of prediction of their net power, or a relation between e.g. laser power and fusion yield, or some other quantitative prediction about something.

For example, I'm not sure what prediction they exceeded by a factor of a billion in TFA. Shouldn't you mention that somewhere?

Another poster mention's Todd Rider's thesis, a famous barrier to creative fusion. In this particular case I think the way they evade Rider is by using higher laser powers and shorter reaction times than Rider considered to be possible. One of the important exceptions Rider acknowledges (and that I remember) is ultradense fusion; ultrafast fusion seems to be at least similar in principle.
