>AMD is basically the only game in town for a fast CPU core integrated with a fast GPU on a single package, at least for now. After Intel starts getting serious about XE you could hypothetically see a high performance SOC.

Intel could have done it with there Iris Graphics as well if they wanted to. The problem is Intel doesn't like low margin, the are too focused on their high margin they let slip the iPhone SoC and Consoles SoC.

Not saying this is a bad thing, financially Intel is still doing great
Which part? I'm happy to oblige for specifics, but it's all available on the Wiki:

I worked in biotech manufacturing with biohazards. 50-100 gloves/person/10hr day is about right.
Your numbers are totally unrealistic. Assuming the growth rate is similar as in Europe (and afaik there is no reason to think it is any different), if you start the quarantine with hospitals at 50%, they will be at 100% capacity in 3 days, and the cases that require hospitalization will keep doubling every 3 days for at least 2-3 weeks. A quarantine won't magically reduce it to 10%.
Face Surveillance Is Not the Solution to the Covid-19 Crisis
No problem cancelling my Airbnb bookings, but I'm slightly concerned about receiving service fees as coupons. The last time I used an Airbnb coupon and then cancelled that reservation, I lost the value of the coupon (even though the cancellation was within the 100% refund period). An extremely minor concern given what's going on, of course.
D now has an Ownership/Borrowing system implemented (though it is in its early stages). It will work with existing code, including DasBetterC code. You're able to incrementally adapt a program to O/B rather than rewrite it.
At least they aren't headshots.
I briefly commented on Voatz in my thesis[1] last year:

Voatz is another blockchain-related voting project. They claim to have been involved in a real world mobile voting experiment in West Virginia with real votes cast through their mobile application. However, their source code and voting protocol are not available for review.

Voatz is a great example of how commercial vendors can fill the letter of the law without filling the spirit: what they refer to as a ”paper audit trail” is literally a physical print of their digital records. If the digital records are corrupted before printing, the paper records will be likewise corrupted.

Based on the descriptions on the FAQ page, Voatz servers are all running the same software, and the voter needs their vote to be recorded on all of them in order to receive confirmation that their vote has been
recorded. This seems like the worst of both worlds: a single misbehaving authority can prevent the election from proceeding, and at the same time, the ”verifiable blockchain” benefits are undermined by running the same closed-source unverifiable software on all of the servers and the same closed-source unverifiable software on all of the clients. The replication of servers provides security benefits only against physical tampering of the machines – since the same software is running on all of them, an accidental or intentional flaw in the software can be exploited to manipulate votes on all servers simultaneously.

This is why I contreversly believe that it serves zero purpose to "never forget" the Holocaust or even 9/11. The victims of such tragedies are themselves commiting other tragedies (generally speaking).
Indeed, much better to select for the kinds of people whose parents know how these things work and can ensure their child has the right letters of recommendation, internships and extracurricular activities. And don’t be terribly specific about what exactly it v is you want; that way you can change it from year to year to ensure the right kind of people get in. Wouldn’t want Harvard to look like Cal Tech or Berkekk OK way would we? That’s what happens when you have a public, objective test instead of being able to select some smart and some connected.
Checked it out to see and yeah starting rumble had some similarities:

Been awhile since I've heard it so listened to the first chorus -- Took two minutes to get to the first utterance of "Turbo Lover" -- ahh thats how it should be, I was in suspense waiting for it ... not like today when songs hit the full-power chorus at the 10-15 second mark

Thanks for having a listen of my mystery track!
> handle the encryption of every packet passing between servers within and across vast data centres

This sounds like it’s doing packet processing in software, which doesn’t seem scalable, especially for the traffic volume I would assume Apple handles. Anyone have a clue what kind of traffic volume and bandwidth we’re looking at here?

Granted, I might be overestimating the requirements given the industry I work in (service provider routing).
A doctor asked me that-- a fact I found disturbing, because shouldn't he know-- so I did some research. And I found out that the machine would spread the virus everywhere with the outgassing (I'm not sure if that's the right term).

If the current situation lasts for very long, almost no business can handle that without help. Even online-only services will at some point start to feel the pain from the real world.
The non-forever outcome is a vaccine. Covid-19 becomes endemic, always around, restrained by a vaccinated herd. It becomes like measles, small outbreaks here and there when sufficiently many unvaccinated come in contact.
I am pretty sure there is a list of things that employers (in the US) can't discriminate on, and immunity to Coronavirus isn't one of them.

I think it will ultimately be in the hands of workers to decide whether or not they want to do the job. Maybe I'm immune to Coronavirus so I should work in a pharmacy... but I get paid 10x as much writing software, so I'm probably going to do that instead.
We have had fantastic guest and host experiences with Airbnb.

Our friends were hosting in Wellington when an earthquake struck. Airbnb refunded all bookings and sent them flowers.

We had a booking for a concert in Christchurch the weekend of the mosque shooting. Concert was canceled and Airbnb issued a refund.

And I’ve just had another refund due to not being able to travel this weekend.

Most, but I will be buying a Playstation just because of FFVII. I so wish they have made it an PS5 title launch I would have brought both together.
Everyone here claiming that SATs aren't fair don't seem to realize that SATs are the most fair and most objective criteria in college admissions. It's not perfect but it's the best and only objective measure we have.

GPA is far worse than SATs because not only are each high schools grading standards different, each teacher's grading policy is different. There are plenty of dumb 4.0s out there but there aren't that many dumb 1600s.

Extra-curricular is more unfair than SATs because you generally need time and money and parental involvement for rowing classes.

Interviews are worse because it's a lot more about how the interviewer likes and relates to you.

Of course the most unfair part is legacy admissions which nobody wants to get rid of.

Sure, SATs aren't perfect, but it is the best and most objective measure we have. It's actually the only tool we have to objectively measure and expose racial discrimination in admissions policy. Now, people are fighting against SATs. The only reason I can come up with is that these universities want to participate in racial discrimination.

SATs, GPAs, Extra-curriculur, interview, etc should all be part of a student's portfolio for admissions. That universities want to remove the ONLY, though not perfect, objective measure is worrisome.
Anyone else remember the DOS days where you would start an application and it would tell you in a cryptic font "Pg351, P2, Ln3, Ch3 thru 10" and you would just have to know that meant you had to open the user manual to page 351 and type characters 3 through 10 from line 3 paragraph 2.

Then there were some creative ones like B-17 Flying Fortress which had a paper decoding tool where you slid the paper rings to match the symbols on the screen. This revealed another symbol through a hole in the paper that you selected on the computer from a list to "prove" you had a legitimate copy of the game.
Pretty much all cars have computers now.

The fact that this one can be rebooted (by the end user, as a matter of course, and it's no big deal) without any hackery whatsoever, and the car can still be driven, makes the system look very good actually.

The joke fits better with the other computers in the car, which were not the subject of the article.
27. Asked about my degree going for a junior role when I first started, never again since. And I've worked at every place you'd expect it to be required - Big 4, traditional insurance, traditional finance..

May help with the initial job, but to be honest - you don't really want to work for a place that gives a shit about your degree. Just your capabilities or potential.

However not everyone has that luxury, especially outside of tech-hubs. And even more so outside of NA.
Good bye! Can't stand anything that has to do with this lousy company!
But then it's weird to specify a location. Camrose is a town of 18,000 people – why not make it explicitly remote?
I assume if you test positive for the antibody and N days later test negative for the virus, you’d be in the clear to be whitelisted.
How would this be possible without severe consequences to everything else?

I'm already locked up (Italy). I'll go insane, seriously, if I need to stay shut in for 18 months.
Blue Cards in EU don't give a fuck about your degree! However you'll need 3 more years experience in your role, or have your past employers fudge what your role was to get it in EU!

All countries are moving that way in highly specialised or high demand jobs, except medicine. Even the US has dropped that requirement for sponsored jobs in recent years.

I'm trying to understand you here. Is the assumption that doctors are taking actions based on previous experience with those sorts of actions unwarranted in your opinion? Or a strawman?

I'm sorry if but I'm having a difficult time figuring out what I have said that you disagreed with.
Yes, why do your dependencies need that many dependencies themselves? It's insane
I think the acceptable value for N depends on the size of the effect being studied.

For example if it’s a massive effect, maybe 10 people is sufficient, but if it’s tiny enough to get swallowed up in statistical noise until you have 1000, then you need N >= 1000
This is a non-event. Anyone can get a filing deadline. Just file for an extension.
Isn't the whole point of AirBnB that they don't have the liabilities of physical hotels?
I read a lot of this and eventually just gave up. If the difference between two (honestly quite similar) functions is this hard to describe, that's a smell.
I also had excellent SAT scores (I didn't bother to retake them, but perhaps I should've).

I also resonate with the idea that rewarding smart kids for being good at taking tests tends to undermine their work ethic and grit; when I finally got to math classes I couldn't just ace the test on, I had a very hard time; I truly didn't know how to buckle down, on my own, and do homework, because I'd never actually had to do that before.

On the other hand, when I'm hiring people, I've discovered I really do want to hire people who are able to ace simple math questions quickly. It's not sufficient, but it seems to be very correlated with being able to wrap your head around complicated code.
They get a couple hundred bucks for a 5 minute office visit to write the prescription, yeah.

I'm fine if there's a serious reason for a physical examination, but a lot of stuff the doctor is effectively filling the role of a pharmacist: telling you side effects and if you have this set of serious side effects then to stop it and/or go to a hospital, here's your script, pay at the front desk. A lot of stuff is unnecessarily shoehorned into Rx-only, and despite a lot of talk about "reducing costs" there is no real drive to actually do so.

A great example is oral contraceptives. You may have to try a couple different blends before you find the right mix for your body. Some of them will be uncomfortable. Some may cause dangerous bleeding and you need to go to a hospital. There is not zero risk here, or with any drug. But the doctor has no way of telling which might be which for your particular body, they are there to tell you the risks, sign the paper and let you try it out. And that's why oral contraceptives specifically are being looked at as something that could be moved out of Rx only and to either OTC or pharmacist-prescribable - but the problem is there are really a lot of drugs that don't belong there.

A pharmacist can read the risks to you just as easily and not charge you $250 for a 15 minute office visit and another $250 for a one-month followup 15 minute office visit.

I have lots of 6-month maintenance visits that are literally 5 minutes. Everything going well? "Yup!" "OK, we'll call in your prescription, pay up front". They're just using their gatekeeping power to extract a check.
Curious to know what this means to employees looking forward to a big IPO this year.

It seems many AirBnB employees' fortunes have very suddenly turned from having a handsome payoff to either having to wait indefinitely, a substantial haircut on that payday, and possibly having a hard time during a recession (along with the rest of us).

Crazy times
They will simply beat you while shouting "STOP RESISTING ARREST"; do you really think it's that simple?

Chloroquine is class P (pharmacy medicines), which is effectively "behind-the-counter but the pharmacist tells you how to use it".

The idea being that if you want to take a trip to somewhere tropical, you don't have to tie up a GP with a standard, low-risk medication, but it's not quite so low-risk that you just put it on the shelf. Behind-the-counter, if you will.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-counter_drug#United_K...

> Pharmacy Medicines (P) are medicines which are legally neither a POM or GSL medication. These can be sold from a registered pharmacy but should not be available for self-selection (although directions to discuss a 'P' product may be allocated shelf space with associated GSL items). 'P' medications are reserved from the GSL list as they are either associated with a need for advice on use, or used in conditions which may require referral to a medical prescriber. Suitable trained counter assistants may sell a 'P' medication under the supervision of a pharmacist and will ask questions to determine if the customer needs to be referred for a discussion with a pharmacist.
Watch Gaza Fights for Freedom, a documentary by Abby Martin and Mike Prysner, for a horrifying look into what life is like in Gaza for the Palestinian people. It was filmed inside Gaza and the footage smuggled out.

It is a humanitarian crisis to say the least. I personally think it's closer to genocide.
Very interesting. I am kind of curious as to whether or not I had COVID-19, and would be willing to pay $20 to find out.

(The backstory is... I went to this party in early February. My friends were sick and they said that there was a really strange cold going around their office; everyone was sick, and the symptoms were different from their usual colds. Everyone there travels like crazy. About 3 days later, I got sick, and indeed... it was very unlike my usual colds and very much like the symptoms associated with COVID-19.
It didn't raise any alarm to me at the time, but with a month and a half of knowledge later, it sure seems suspicious to me.)
WSJ's paywall also has its critics.
Have you ever driven a Tesla and rebooted it while driving? Have you ever even driven a Tesla at all? Or is this just a guess based on your experience with custom ICE cars?

In the rebooting state it's probably still safer than any other car. You aren't missing any critical information that you can't see by looking out the window (the approximate speed). There is no gear shifting, no fuel, and you would have been warned well before this if your charge was low enough to cause alarm. I can really think of nothing you need on the screen that you would seriously miss as a matter of safety while it's rebooting for a few seconds, as long as you're being attentive as a driver, which you should be.
Same with Germany - they are likely classifying some sars-cov-2 deaths as from another cause. Not trying to suggest any of this is being done as some sort of cover up - given the circumstance it isn't necessarily possible to definitively say cause of death in all situations.
Trump kept telling us that there was no shortage of tests, which was a complete lie. And he kept telling us there were few cases and things were under control, when you can't tell that without a huge number of tests, which we did not have.

As far as treating the pandemic as serious, he dismissed it as minor, until his speech a week ago. He has been a lot better since then. But if he had done things right from the beginning, we would be in a much better situation now, and we might have been able to contain it.
It is ramping up significantly, with a corresponding growth rate of confirmed cases. 4 days ago it was approaching 1000. It will probably be 10,000 by tomorrow.

> "most people really struggle at remote"

I used to think that, but now that circumstances are forcing me to work remote, I'm amazed at how much I get done, even with the crap communication due to the overloaded VPN at work. And that's while also trying to homeschool two children.

Alright, this is a weird situation that's not comparable to anything else, but still, velocity seems remarkably high in my team.
OP’s “smooth talker” is a pedigreed bullshitter with a millionaire dad, big fake smile, and popped collar, who combines just enough sound bite knowledge with fancy-sounding words, signaling to similar ivy leaguers that he’s “one of them.” Pretty much the opposite of someone you’d select on academic merit alone.
I would like to see “neural enhances” an already rendered 3D scene with the changes which would make it more realistic, given depth map and other information to the neural network
thats a valid criticism, but I didn't mean the thresholds as prescriptive. they would depend upon a few things but actual values can be calculated based on infection rate & also be learnt from past cycles after you have gone through it once. the idea is that quarantine will slow down R0 enough to give hospitals a breather & work through the cases. also it will buy enough time to manufacture more ventilators.

Lastly once we go through a couple of these on-off cycles it will help establish that the virus is a know quantity to the larger economy so we can plan around this. which is way better than current 'OMG we are headed for depression' style panic.
Decreased transparency increases the advantage the test prep industry has, since they'll find a way to get them anyway.
Hmmm, I dont like the article however there is some logic here.

If you are a low risk adult, and if you have the option to infect yourself at home, you would only have to isolate for 2-3 weeks until you have developed immunity and are good to go back to work and help others etc...

By not letting young people get infected we're isolating them for way way longer than they should be and this is extremely inefficient.

However, leaving ethics aside entirely, for that solution to work we would need self-infection kits for low risk people to use at home which is quite messed up.
Was this a response to something else in this thread that you accidentally top-posted?

It's cool, technically, but maybe a little off-topic.
Yeah that's a really good point... Is this perhaps one of those hyper specific job postings so that a company can skirt some sort of regulation about hiring immigrants by saying they did a search? but why Apple? And why Camrose...
Or you could stay on the road and the reboot will finish in a few seconds. Meantime you have full control of everything as normal through the wheel and pedals, just no screen. It's like driving any other car where those dials are so small you can't read them and they might as well not exist, except that it's back to normal in seconds.

I know this isn't practical. The fact that you have so many dependencies and any one of them could do something bad should be a sign that something is deeply wrong in the ecosystem.

As I told a couple others, you just hit the ceiling.

That doesn't mean tests don't work; if you wanted to, you could have found much harder ones. (That's what I did, out of necessity. They wouldn't have given my app a second look if I hadn't.)

Fuck - that was an article I wish I'd never read.

I almost hoped it would stop at the half-way mark, so I could just shake my head at people I could despise, but it kept going.

My thoughts in no particular order:

Clearly the Palestinians are physically suffering most from this - but whether they acknowledge it or not, it's destroying the Israelis involved. Similar to the US involvement in VietNam - doesn't matter if you win/lose or even why - people who come back are changed.

I don't "blame Israel" - I work for an Israeli company.
Not a choice, just a happenstance of a takeover.
Quite an eye-opener when somebody politely tells you that we need to wrap up the conference call, as there are incoming rockets.

Only firm feeling I take away is that I loathe "dehumanization" - that pernicious and onmi-present trope that is rolled out by all sides in pretty much every country, under every circumstance - and has been forever.
Running theories so far are that those were relapses, not reinfections.
OK, so what are you going to do about it?
