Thinkpad = Linux these days sadly...

Any other laptop will boot linux, but you'll end up with a lot of rough edges...

For example, on the laptop I'm typing this on (latest Ubuntu, old Acer 511G):

* Random hangs every few days - some unpatched processor bug related to sleep states.

* Wifi diconnects randomly.

* Hotkeys don't work

* Screen sometimes dims itself to zero, and since the hotkeys don't work, it's rather tricky to fix.

* Bluetooth doesn't work

* Hibernate and sleep are disabled by default and you have to go into a config file to enable them. SD card doesn't work after sleeping more than 3 times.

* Fans don't work at all. System throttles almost immediately under any load.

* There must be some issue with the SSD losing writes because even journaled ext4 seems to get data corruption after an unclean poweroff.

* External monitors don't support hdmi audio.

* of the 3 USB ports, 2 don't work for anything more than charging devices.

* webcam LED state seems random, and does not correlate to webcam usage at all.

All on one device!

Linux on Thinkpad is great. Linux on any other hardware that core kernel devs don't use day to day is almost unusable due to these thousands of rough edges.
I'm not an expert in this area, but my understanding is that DRAM and logic processes are very different from each other. If you want both DRAM and logic on the same chip you'll end up with a compromise which isn't that good for either. Which, aside from the programmability issue, is why processor-in-memory (PIM) approaches haven't caught on (yet).

Latest generation high end GPU's use HBM2(E?) memory, which is a very wide and fast pipe compared to DDR4 used for "normal" CPU main memory.

As for systolic arrays, to some extent the matrix-matrix units in Google TPU's and NVIDIA Tensor Cores are systolic arrays. I suspect we'll see designs go further down that path in the future.
Honestly the first time I've ever heard someone complain about a macbook trackpad
Planning to land in a designated area is easy. Ruling out any deviations is a challenge. SpaceX knows booster landing on earth, but that may not be the the same on the moon. Moreover, it can afford to lose a booster every know and then here, but there it can't.

It can be done, but can it be guaranteed?

It is not irrational because self driving cars are not interchangeable with human drivers 1-1. If autonomous cars are put on roads it is very likely net traffic increases. We put up with bad driving because we have to, this is absolutely not the case for machines. I, personally, don't want more average drivers on the roads.
They wouldn't also have long or green hair.

But to your specific point were the females also foot soldiers? Not, do you know of an example, but was it somewhat common?

This seems to be a more left wing thing.
The point is that police shootings are just one of the many ways police uses excessive force against minorities. Did they control for whether the amount of force used was warranted? Did they control for whether the location of the shooting was a black minority or majority neighborhood? The ethnicity of the cop? It's too easy to lump all the data into one average and simply loose all the detail of an extremely complicated issue such as police brutality, for example killings where lethal weapons weren't used.

Broken implementation are worth nothing, duh. Of course correctness is a requirement. That's is why I took a couple precautions since that little disaster 2 years ago: I stopped using maths I didn't perfectly understand. I imported the Wycheproof tests (which by the way revealed no additional bugs, contrary to what lvh jokingly suggested on Twitter at the time). And a number of other things: https://monocypher.org/quality-assurance/test-suite

Don't worry, I've learned my lessons, and I do take correctness seriously.

I am congenital for anosmia (that is, I have never had a sense of smell) so I always find discussions about anosmia interesting.

As a contribution: the experiences of never having smelt is very different from the experience of loosing it later in life. The former is something that dawns on the person sometime in their youth when they realise they really can't smell farts. The other is a crushing loss of joy from their lives when they lose the wonderful taste of food, fresh flowers, and "new car smell" (whatever that is!). I never lost these things, I love food, and I like looking at pretty flowers. I am jealous that I don't experience smelling, but I do not miss it because I never had it in the first place.

As a side note, living with anosmia is mildly inconvienient for most. I am paranoid about food going off, and working with flammable gasses is always a little unnerving. Apparently the rates of depression, dysfunctional relationships, and early death are somewhat higher in my cohort. I personally have little trouble with it, and find my condition a useful conversation starter at social events.
Sönke Ahrens writes about this similarity in his book "How to take smart notes". A linked notes system is indeed very similar to a wikipedia. The difference lies in the usage. In a personal system, there's a bit more "wiki" and not that much "pedia". Encyclopedic classification of content is not the aim of a linked notes system. The notes should be collected and connected based on your interests, aims, and whims.
Good point. Well, its high time we Indians collaborate and create product companies. I am open for ideas and collaboration.
Yup, owning the 16", I also have the same experience; the huge trackpad is fine. The blog writer bought the 13" though, maybe that is one part of his problem.
My older X1 gets about 4-5 hours under relatively heavy use.

It has an OLED screen though, which is part of the reason for the not so great battery life.
At least Luhmann was trained in German public administration after the Second World War. The general ideas or seeds for his invention of the Zettelkasten stem from there.
There is a 1968 movie about that:

The printers get it from treck (HP OfficeJet and LaserJet use it), which probably means that other clients of this TCP/IP stack will be vulnerable as well. Although I can't figure out why this feature should be "on-by-default" in treck, as most clients probably don't need it activated.

That isn't a problem at all in a lot of industries; sure, you may have to coddle tech workers for now, treat them like actual human beings and all that nonsense, but imagine a future where you can treat just like your warehouse staff. Wouldn't that be neat? /s

On a more serious note, I know a few companies who do treat their tech people like disposable inventory, on par with the lower-prestige roles, and it works out just fine for them. They don't get highly motivated world-class talent, but they don't need that sort of talent; just someone to take care of their relatively modest IT/dev needs. It's not very efficient across a lot of metrics, but low salaries probably compensate for that.

This seems to be a trend across all sorts of industries, less and less jobs that pay well, less employees that get coddled and treated well, commoditize the hell out of every last role etc. – just because it's not a big thing in much of tech yet probably doesn't mean it's an impossibility.

I think you are purposefully misreading the comment. There are ways to differentiate, mom with kid, old man vs. young guy in black clothes with a backpack.

I think I know what you want to imply, but did you note the complete absence of race or colour in OPs comment? And alos the completely different circumstances, crowd control vs. standard law enforcement?

I had Lenovo T530 and it worked OK, but with half the battery life. Then I had XPS 15 and I got it working after a lot of fiddling, but with a third of battery life and with hidpi issues on wake up.

The battery thing is really a killer for me.
Ok, so what? I have no sympathy for violent far right extremism and I intend to denounce neo-nazist ideologies as much as I can. Especially since it has devolved into (mostly non collective) violence already.

On the other hand your comment is saying that one of the worst thing those groups collectively did was voting. I don't think you are making the argument you think you are making.

On the other hand, if you are saying that the other side might start rioting too; isn't that an argument for deescalation?
'FontEdit' was also the name of a program published in PC Magazine eons ago, for creating VGA text-mode fonts in executable format. There were probably others that shared the name, but that's the one I actually remember typing in from the magazine printout(!), and it's the one that got me started fiddling with fonts.

I can appreciate the naming struggle - I had to resort to calling my own editor 'Fontraption'. :)
Coronavirus: Researchers no longer need consent to access your medical records
The thing is that if you are landing a two stage rocket (or a rocket with enough delta-v for ascent) you can abort the landing back to orbit (unless you are crazy enouh to do direct ascent from earth without entering lunar orbit).

Apollo basically had a switch + sensor based tigers to start an automatic segvence that shuts down and drops the first stage, starts the seconds stage and flies it back to lunar orbit.

If you don't have an ascent stage or enough delta-v, you have to land, potentially many kilometers of course or even crash if something goes very wrong.
This is mostly obnoxious. Coding is a great way to build logical thinking, mathematical maturity, and creativity.

Perhaps OP is confusing teaching syntax with teaching coding. At least on my end working with kids, it got creative almost immediately, and mathematical not long there-after.

It's fun.

Until a feature update ago, I was quite disappointed with Win10 as a dev platform. I'm running Win 10 Pro. Especially Windows Update was just plain intolerable.

However some time the past months I realized I don't think about Windows much... which means it's no longer constantly annoying me.

There are still stupid things, like Apps display language not being tied to the OS display language setting (wtf?!), but I can live with that. On a day to day basis my machine stays on, is performant, and does what I ask it to.

Yep, not sure about the high altitude flight, but terminal guidance is certainly not GPS based. I think it's mostly radar & they even painted their landing zone with some special paint a while ago to get better radar returns.
My four year old XPS lasts an entire 10 minutes on battery doing nothing at all.

Though when I got it, it very easily lasted the entire day, even if watching videos and such.
Part of it is that the print() debug crowd tends to prefer to externalize more of the reasoning into the code itself (rather than into their tooling, or into their brains—though sometimes it is the latter, and that can be a disaster coming back a few months later).

That doesn't work great on other people's code, obviously.
My opinion is that the whole study is meaningless, an insult to human intelligence, and a waste of the paper it was written on. I don’t care what race the police officers are. It does not matter.

An organization has a mind of its own. In fact, I’d argue an organization has a “life” of its own. Just like individuals, organizations have inertia, or habits, to keep doing things the way they are.

In New York, I’ve seen reflective vests put on the dashboards of cars, some horribly parked. The idea is if you can show you’re a fellow police officer, you won’t get a parking ticket.

In Overland Park, Kansas, I personally know of a ticket where someone got “reckless driving” while standing on the side of a road with a broke down car. The police appeared more than five minutes after the car stopped at the side of the road.

A young woman moved to a new neighborhood in a new state and this neighbor, a police officer, called her by her full first, middle, and last name And told her to “be careful” as she walked out of the house to walk her dog. She insists she never used her middle name anywhere in person and the police officer most likely ran her license or something.

Unless we are willing to disband and ban all current members of the police force from being a part of a new police, I don’t see how this study makes any sense.

My biggest concern/blocker is the soldered storage.

1st - if it fails during warranty, how do I send it for repair safely (as in my data be safe)?

2nd - it decreases its value imho. I mean how many people buy/trust used storage? I wouldn't.
Trump was teased for saying this.
I am hugely impressed with Wikipedia lately. It's become almost journalistic.

Example: yesterday I was looking at covid-19 case rate graphs and noticed that Israel had a sudden surge in R approximately around the 17th of May. I got curious about what could have changed, but where on earth was I going to find a comprehensive timeline of specific measures in Israel's coronavirus response? Where could I find that level of detail? Answer: Wikipedia.

(and if you're wondering - schools reopened fully, followed closely by a lifting of mask restrictions due a heat wave, followed by houses of prayer reopening to groups of 50 people - all supposedly with distancing rules, but clearly these are not effective)

Yep, both india and south africa had a huge looming background of potential (and actual) violence.

Nelson Mandela was literally a marxist terrorist, yet is often held up as some kind of ideal of non violent protest.
Happy to hear you’re doing better. Any idea how you contracted it?
> English is not my first language, honestly I am trying to understand here.

You're doing better than many English natives, who can't use their own language correctly. Some of the key misuses in this event are referring to "looters", "vandals", "arsonists" and other criminals as "protestors". Protestors protest, they don't invade, pilfer and destroy other people's private property.

A left-wing media is complicit in continuing these kinds of misuses of English to stir up people driven by emotion rather than logic. By failing to separate peaceful protest from violent crime, they've helped to drum up a wave of violence spreading over many US cities.

The people calling for this behaviour to spread are absolute hypocrites, because they will call for destruction and chaos under the excuse of "historic racism," but will never direct people to their own homes or businesses or provide them the box of matches to set it ablaze. It's OK apparently, to destroy other people's private property, but not my own.

Of course, racism has nothing to do with the violence and theft. There are two groups engaged in the crime: one is simply petty thieves who want a quick reward and are taking advantage of the situation to do it. The other is white "liberals" who feel they can use the opportunity to bring about a socialist revolution. I quote liberals because they only self-title this way but do not behave like a liberal (another case where correct use English is being dismantled: people believe that if they self-identify as something, it must be true, even if reality and action prove otherwise).

To be clear, what happened to George Floyd was a disgrace and the officer in question should be brought to swift justice. The emotionally driven mob seem to believe that if you are against the destruction of private property then you mustn't care about what happened to Floyd and other cases like his (which are absolutely not exclusive to blacks). They are unable to use logic correctly and will attempt to shame anybody calling for an end to the wave of crime spreading through American cities, labelling them as racist or whatever fits their narrative.

It's pretty clear that the protesting should be peaceful only, and should be about police violence, without the racial narrative. Police violence happens to people of every creed. It's kinda funny that these protestors will call for an end to injustice handed down by the State, but then go home and return to calling for a bigger State - the socialist state.

The root of the problem here is that the State does not work for the individual, it works for the State. The police are not there to protect you, they are there to protect the State. The worst-offender for misuse of English is the term "we" to try and convince people that the State is, or includes them, as individuals. Take note every time you see terms like "we", "ours", "we should", etc. in news print. Who are they really referring to when they use these terms? Are they talking about themselves, or are they talking about you? It is very important! If you can't understand the basic language, how are you ever going to make sense of reality?

The proposal has two separate crew access airlocks with their own lifts, two separate cargo cranes that can be used in an emergency, and presumably some rope on board that the crew remaining in the vehicle can jury-rig to drag the EVA team up if necessary.

The sheer scale of Starship is stupefying. If it ever gets there, it will in one go transport tens of times the payload of every previous lunar mission put together. The scale of what it can do will allow it to be quite a bit less efficient about things than everything else has to be, and so it can spend some mass on redundancy of important systems.
> 17k per head sounds about right to me in large urban areas.

I don't know about the US, but in France, in large urban areas like Lyon or Toulouse, you can easily find office space for 100 to 200 €/m²/year. Which means, translated in $, that $17k per year would grant you 75 to 150 m² (800 to 1600 sq. ft.).

That would be a very very nice office, far from the shoulder-to-shoulder openspace model, even if you add other expenses than pure rent :-)
> but that may not be the the same on the moon

True. No wind or waves, everything standing perfectly still.

I'd say it's much easier.
