+1 came here to say this.

Indoor HVAC air flows seem way more important than distance. I can probably sit right next to you as long as the airflow has each of our exhalations taken away from the other.

My employer has mentioned potential plans to bring people back to the office in small numbers for short times. Until these discussions include analysis of building HVAC, I want no part of it.
I pity the authors romantic partners.
This is great news and will help lead to wider adoption. I hope that some progress will be made for handling large files since currently it is stored in-memory: https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent/issues/86
If you look at the overall "computing devices with a reasonably high performance CPU" market, Linux has won the server market, and through Android, won the phone/tablet market. If you squint a bit, you can lump MacOS and iOS in this in that they have a Unix core and use a lot of the same software stack as Linux.

50 years ago, IBM owned the computing market with mainframes. They still dominate the mainframe market, that's just become a smaller and smaller portion of the overall computing market as time has gone on.
That doesn't make much sense to me. SIMD is a parallelization technique.
I think if we had enough effort put into it like we mobilized with the Manhattan project, we could create some amazing supplemental online material.

We have incredible technology and a good understanding of psychology. Why could we not apply some Hollywood approach to creating amazing lessons that are engaging and fun to watch?
I've always been a fan of the sqlite licence: https://sqlite.org/copyright.html

Basically sqlite is public domain if your country recognizes that kind of thing. If it doesn't, then sqlite doesn't care and will never pursue you. However, if /you/ care, sqlite will sell you licence. This licence costs $6000, looks very official and shiny and whatnot, covers all your bases as if public domain did exist in your country, and sqlite uses the money to continue funding development.

I'd be inclined to do something very similar with an additional clause stating that if dedicating to the public domain doesn't free me from liability, then see $6000 licence. (I thought sqlite had this, but either they've removed it or I misremember).
For me, the fact that it's enterprise Unix, basically. It's polished, smooth, well-supported, the hardware it runs on is spectacular, and it Just Works™.

I do like Linux for server computing and for command-line/batch computing, but I don't like the state of the Linux Desktop and thus don't consider it seriously as a primary machine.

Windows is just a nightmare and even with WSL2, it still feels like it's bolted on. I only keep a Windows desktop around for gaming. I don't and won't do any productive work on Windows anymore.
I wish they brought Thunderbolt to iPad Pro already, would mean the Macs would have gen 2 silicon for it.
Anecdotal from conversations with my friends:

1. People are worried about their stock investments losing value due to the Covid economy.

2. Some people can't imagine putting their money in anything but stocks.

3. Ergo, there's a lot of demand for stocks that are familiar to casual investors and feel relatively safer from the effects of Covid.

And, you can now disable PINs on Signal altogether

I ignored the invitations to set a separate PIN for signal until the other day, when I opened Signal and it threw up a modal dialog that forced me to set a PIN.

I don't see any option to disable it, but oddly there is no requirement (by default) to enter the PIN when reinstalling to the same number (eg following the purchase of a new phone.

It's not that I think Signal is bad, it's that the rollout of this feature has caused unnecessary confusion. This is true to a lesser extent with other features, like the encrypted tunnel for GIFs...was anyone asking for GIF sharing or stickers in the first place? I've been using Signal for 5-6 years have a large number of peers, and I cannot recall a single person saying 'You know what my encrypted messaging app really needs? Animated stickers.'

We keep hearing complex reasons why basic group management tools are difficult or impossible (membership lists, voting, scheduling etc.) which are wholly valid, but I resent being told I need to update and then discovering that it was some useless cosmetic 'feature' or an anti-pattern like the PINs.
Totally agree about RSS. I think the best thing about email is that authors get to build their own connection to the audience. Either way, there are options to make this happen if you want it: https://feedbin.com/blog/2016/02/03/subscribe-to-email-newsl...

Conspicuous consumption is _a_ primary driver of an enormous segment of the economy; it effects housing, electronics, textiles, hygiene, beauty products, liquor, and so on and on. Any luxury that can be experienced as an observer is subject to conspicuous consumption.

It's not absurd and stupid to display wealth, it's a function of being a social mammal. Moreover, it does contribute to society by way of employing legions.

When next you flip open your laptop, or publicly use your phone, or dress nicely, or discuss your vacationing, consider your own words about flaunting your wealth.
I am starting year 6 at my company, which would fit your description of big pond. I'm also painfully aware I'm stagnating.

That said, unless I completely change my role and/or specialization, I don't see any room to grow.

I'm a frontend engineer with some fullstack mixed in. Going backend would certainly be an interesting change, but it would be at the cost of atrophying frontend skill/knowledge, the end result being it would be harder to get a future FE (atrophy) or BE (beginner/mediocre skillset) job. Especially since companies these days seem to be creating FE specific interview tracks.
I absolutely, 120% agree on the importance of adding the right data. Aquarium helps you with: "what data should I be collecting to improve my model" and "where do I find that data?"

For the latter, Aquarium treats the problem of smart data sampling as a search and retrieval problem. You want to find more examples of a "target" from a large stream of unlabeled data. Aquarium does this by comparing embeddings of the unlabeled data to your "target set" and then sending examples to labeling if they're within a defined distance threshold in embedding space. We don't actually do the labeling, but we wrap around common labeling providers and can integrate into in-house flows with our API.
I didn't take the article as seeking to "de-legitimize them". Having privilege isn't a sin (unless you acquired it through some ill means, but that's not even possible in most cases).

Privilege is nothing more than a social factor to be aware of, both for the haver of privilege whose perspectives might be warped by their experiences, and for the social systems (like the justice system, mentioned in the article) who at least in theory are trying to be objective about things.

Don't take it so personally. Privilege doesn't make you a bad person, and raising awareness of it is a good thing.
Loman author here. Thank you very much for the mention. Amazed that I never heard of Athena or pixie graphs. Our intention with Loman was to create a library scoped for a single process - we looked at the possibility of creating a system responsible for executing much larger graphs on a real-time ongoing basis, but it felt like a larger project than we'd be able to execute well. It sounds like Athena was that, and it worked well, subject to being a culture shock for people coming into it?
I think the leftys, who I generally hang around and aggree with get a lot wrong about schools. We spend a lot on schools, other countries that spend a lot less get better outcomes. I mean FFS the richest country in the world with a 85% graduation rate, it's completely insane. Fixing the schools isn't a one-dimensional problem, and I think there are some charters that have good ideas. While they do generally under-serve students with differing abilities, I think that is talked about too much and is used to try to discredit everything they do. There are problems in the schools, absolutely, everyone agrees, and unfortunately aversion to change comes from every level, but unfortunately it's often on different issues/changes. Teachers, parents, students, admins and politicians all have things they balk at that prevents fixing the schools, we need to change a lot of minds or have a huge top down reworking of schools, but unfortunately that runs right into one of the issues people get all worked up about, local control.
Looked into this :) unfortunately I run Mac so there's nothing I can do here. Tempted to dual boot Ubuntu, though.
You can learn, but it is just not the same. My daughter is doing her piano lessons over zoom now. If she was not able to read sheet music, it would not work.
What's the minimum number of bitcoin nodes needed for it to continue operating and is it reasonable to think that post collapse that many PCs will remain online?

Seems unlikely to me.
The problem is if you come up with the words yourself, you are most likely to screw up. So people should be aware that they should use a random number generator.
At some point I find it hard to draw a distinction between a library and a torrent. Gotta to avoid legal trouble, but from a moral standpoint outlawing torrents is like outlawing the library.
Been using OSX since just after xmas (work issued the new macbook pro) alongside Fedora (all my machines) and there really isn't any difference in terms of a "smooth desktop experience" which is a credit to Fedora and Cinnamon really.

There are things I like about both platforms and things I dislike but I'm productive as a developer on either and mostly they feel the same.

At home if I want to do some dev I'm more likely to reach for my thinkpad though because I prefer the keyboard and it runs a lot cooler on my knee.

I do give you credit of giving people a quick shot how accurate torrent detection can be if you are a casual user not using VPN. Or not using private trackers.

But.

You dont know and you are clueless that this is not my ip.

Furthermore, I have also checked my phone where I have never downloaded any torrent and you are showing 3 movies.

This is just scaremongering.

I did a few more tests.

For multiple private trackers you didnt detect anything (except your false positives), you have failed to detect there is more than one user of IP, you didnt detect VPN (but you could).

Not accurate at all.

A sane advice from this example - use VPN (from other jurisdiction than you are in and not massively well known or free), stop using public tracker.
This is so cool – looking forward to using GPT-3 on random things like song lyrics and internal company slacks to see what happens

If so, that's a pretty big change to the industry.
I started it and are actually surprise how much it fits to my own experience to this day. Can you recommend further reading?
Thank you bring this to my attention!
I re-read the addendum. Could you point me to the part that refutes the idea that microarchitectural side channel exploitation represents a threat to SVR? Cause I think you and I both agree that it does.

As far as I can tell, all the addendum says is "I complained a lot and as a result of a direct conversation with Moxie he hacked in a really jury-rigged opt-out to the system, also he disagrees with me that a compromise of this system would be a big deal."
x86 instructions I'd like to see are atomic instructions with lower global memory ordering guarantees. TSO is nice, but there's enough performance sensitive concurrent code where opting out would be useful.
Dont forget Avago and Broadcom
Perhaps. The theory is that if someone is to be fully comply to a licence, that means they have to walk the extra mile, like mention it, link it and all that jazz. Which is something I genuinely don't want anyone to go through. Basically "take it, use it, change it, publish it as yours, sell it, whatever you want, by all means, go for it". Which is what the wtfpl is in theory and why I find it so compelling.
,,If Bitcoin becomes successful, something seriously bad has happened to the monetary system.''

I'm a hardcore Bitcoin believer, and I believe something similar, although not exactly the same:

Something seriously bad happened to the monetary system (in 1971), therefore I believe Bitcoin will become successful (in the next 10-20 years).
I guess I disagree with this assessment.

There are many famous architects who are famous precisely for the criteria you listed as 'blue collar' here: Peter Zumthor, Herzog & de Meuron, Rafael Moneo, Alvaro Siza. They tend to work from the construction of the building up, they repurpose historical buildings. They are also massively famous, teach at prestigious universities and write a lot of books (Zumthor excepted, although he is likely the most popular of all of these guys). The 'white collar' type you mention here seems to resemble Gehry the most, but as I've detailed in another comment is not considered a great architect.
The danger of confusing process with substance is definitely an interesting point. Everyone can probably think of an example where that's happened.

But as someone who learned unix and some CS among other things in public schools in a way that would have been impossible out of anything provided at home I'm definitely reluctant to throw that institution entirely under the bus.

And in general I'd think that a forum full of people who make process for a living (software is arguably nothing but process) should understand that while systems are often full of blind spots that doesn't mean they're without their utility.

What's needed is to figure out how to make services/systems/institutions with value.
I did read it. That 5 watt figure is with one of the two big cores fully loaded. AMD idles with a bigger power draw than that.

I may have looked more in depth into my condition (though that may imply listening to crackpots) than doctors who despite years of study may not be as in depth as me. There is a lot to the entire human body (which is why doctors refer people to specialists, but they need to choose the right specialist which isn't always easy)

I remember hearing a similar line about boxes from Kanye West's Yeezy Campus GQ interview.
> tried reinventing the wheel in it.

That's not reinventing the wheel, that's building a new wheel you hope performs better/different with different materials and maybe some different techniques, and has a long and storied history of both successes and failures.

Reinventing the wheel would be if they published this system and some other bank recreated it without using what they published, thus "inventing" something that already existed and was available.
There was no mutual antagonism. Japan of this period was expressly a violent, imperialist project, from its annexation of parts of China and colonizing of South Korea following the Russo-Japanese war to later invasions of modern day Taiwan and the Philippines, all of whom were ill-equipped to resist them. The Mongols tried to invade and China and Japan fought over the Korean peninsula sporadically during what we call the Middle Ages, but that's about the extent of prior regional strife.
what does that have to do with anything. If the opportunity was good enough for you to take the internship, then they were good enough for you not to risk it by torrenting on their material. He likely got sacked mid summer. He now can't even have that internship on his resume. So much wasted time, so mindless.
I wonder how much of this is anxiety behavior. You have a scary sounding situation outside that you can't do much of anything about actively, so instead you invest your energy in distraction like television and gaming - which is really a "delay" strategy, not a solving strategy.

Personally, I've been trying to intentionally invest my time in productive things (writing little games, learning, working out) to try and actually reduce my anxiety instead of just burying it.

As the joke goes: "Anxiety must be a liquid because it flows right into your brain as soon as you lay down to sleep."

Great idea, Ads have to go from the top. It made using the tool with interest turn into a negative experience.

US budget deficit hits all-time high of $864B in June
Will we have a choice? The Fed has tremendous influence over the economy in the short-medium term, but over long time horizons they are actually at the mercy of it.
It just rides the line between simple and powerful incredibly well. It's amazing how much you can do with it out of the box before needing to reach for additional tools. The main pull for me is dev experience, but on top of that, the final product knocks everything else out of the water because it compiles down to vanilla JS.
It does not encompass Bitcoin's feature of being Bitcoin. Should majority of digital wealth ever be transferred to another Technology, I think it is most probable that this transfer is going to be discussed a lot even before it happens in orderly fashion, e.g. by forking or airdropping. Else, most Bitcoin holders probably won't move on.
Cars however did mature. Bitcoin does not. It just forks whenever someone wants to do significant changes. Also at that point no change could ever get it anywhere close to what other projects achieved with similar but better tech. The fundamentals in Bitcoins are de-facto unchangeable and very much outdated.
That cannot be real.

He has access to acquire, and move bitcoin, but not access to move it to an exchange, exchange it and deposit it? What?

This sounds like yet another made-up story about a use case for bitcoin that doesn't actually exist. They like making up stories that are yes technically not impossible, but would be the absolute worst way of doing what they want to accomplish.

Someone told me bitcoin enables negative exchange rates, because they happened to get currency fluctuations while the transaction was pending in bitcoin-intermediary exchange medium. No. That's not what happened. You could just have used CurrencyFair and been equally lucky. And end-to-end (back account to bank account) "old banking" likely would have been faster.
Some countries. India is in question here. India has problems but they are trying to clean up and that means that you both have a shot at not paying bribes and a real risk if you do.

I'm not saying Nvidia is any more virtuous than Intel. Nvidia, as a corporation (has/will have) many of the same problems that Intel does.

An ISP that provided cable internet exclusively; so if you had fibre at home it wouldn't even make sense to use them.
Another take on conviviality is from its root - 'to live with'. Hannah Arendt (and I'm sure many others) argues that 'living with' other people, well, in a polity, where you inevitably have different views, is a key problem of modern life. If you are strong at sciences as a kid, it often takes you a while to understand this.

>As far as taxes, one thing you want to do is hold at least some cash in your fund's portfolio so you don't have to be constantly buying and selling to fulfill purchases. Buying and selling generate capital gains, which you want to avoid as much as possible

Isn't this only applicable to mutual funds? AFAIK ETFs use some sort of loophole to avoid having to pay taxes.
> You can criticize a system while still participating in it

I agree with this wholeheartedly, but Illich called for the abolishment of social institutions altogether, not the improvement of them.

I'm quite suspicious of such calls for abolishing institutions rather than reforming them - whether from the right or left - because they are often just cloaked attempts to replace those institutions with their own preferred "purer" institutions. In the case of Illich, his preferred institutions would seem to be somewhat connected to his religious work as a priest.

> dislike the US health care system, and think we should move from private insurance to a single payer model

Single-payer/Medicare-for-all is just advocating for reform of the health care system by removal of the pathologies of private insurance, not the abolishment of shared risk pools altogether. It's an evolution of the current system, not the destruction of it.
Why did you need to resample it? Because 48 kHz was already the most common industry standard before CD, is it correct?
My boating friends tell me "boxed wine" is making a comeback- especially on boats.
>This is an encultured attitude, not an innate one

The only encultured attitude I see here is the modern western delusion that the average child (or person) intrinsically wants to make the substantial, multi year effort required to learn complex subjects.

The vast majority of people do not enjoy learning. No one wants to spend their time on math problems (outside of a tiny minority).

This is also tied to the nonsensical idea that we are all equally capable of everything; the ability to learn (both in general and by specific subject) is randomly distributed and probably normally so like many biological processes. That itself ensures that given equal curiosity, not all children will make the varied effort required to learn.
These kinds of solution are anathema to the Vienna hacker scene, which is where soup.io was born. Never going to happen.
