You're greatly underestimating how many people who unironically oppose due process and civil rights because it "helps the bad guys", they themselves "don't have anything to hide", and "if you're being investigated, you probably did something wrong".
This customer service rep, how was otherwise his work performance / output? How was he like to work with?
When I look at general-purpose single-threaded benchmarks, I see a good progress.
I’m pretty sure we’ll see very good progress on that, because Intel/AMD competition, also because inexpensive SSDs removed the storage bottleneck.

I agree on physical limitations, but the research still goes on, smart people still able to use these extra transistors in a way that’s useful for performance. Even for single-threaded one.

Another thing, software is progressively better at using many cores. It’s much easier to move large pieces of code to another CPU thread (like some browsers do with JS compiler) keeping it sequential code, than it is to re-write code as a large set of small tasks / threads. Many useful algorithms can’t use fine-grained parallelism much, or at all, e.g. streaming stuff like gzip or parsers.
That’s actually a good point, and it’d be real easy to spread to a third person were it necessary
Ubuntu LTS on my laptop, because it's the closest I've found to "Just Works" status.
I run RHEL servers at work, but that's not my decision, though they are serious workhorses (albeit always somewhat outdated).
Interviewed someone last night for my podcast who has written some python malware tools, and there's enough stuff out there to where you can't exactly call it a new concept.
Sorry, missed your response until just now.

I guess I’m questioning how much the establishment of “more fixed borders” changes anything. I for one don’t know how frequently the indigenous nations in the Americas had fights over territory.

People being people, my suspicion is that it wasn’t all that different from today: peaceful agreements about who uses what land when, with bouts of violence or negotiation when circumstances changed. Wars take a high toll, so they aren’t pursued for fun, especially when they involve a much larger portion of a nation’s population than they do today.
I have this same issue with my Sony headphones.

1. Open Utilities -> Audio Midi Setup
2. In the left pane click + and add a new aggregate device
3. Add your internal mic to the aggregate device
4. Go to System Preferences -> Sound and select the aggregate device as your input

Unlike the 'raw' internal mic device this one should stay active when you disconnect / connect your headphones.

I've never found a better solution than this :( Kind of shocking that this is required - but it works.
I'm having this same issue. Thinking of sending mine in as well.
Piracy benefits us all.

It brings art and knowledge to millions that wouldn't otherwise have access to it.

The rest of society benefits indirectly too, by having these enriched persons in their midst.
No, they are not. Upanishads are the later chapters of the Vedas. There are four vedas and ten principal upanishads.

Hindu philosophy aims to be accessible and useful to everyone. In that, Upanishads offer a way for people who are unable to follow Vedic standards.

An alternative is not opposition. It’s available choice. Upanishads are not against the Vedas. They just form the latter portions of Vedas.

Eg: consider chicken eaters. Veganism is an alternative dietary choice. Veganism existed before it was considered an ‘opposition’ to consuming meat. They are all part of ‘food’ and ‘eating’. Some vegans decided that it’s position against meat eating, but that’s not it’s origin. It’s a choice And a latter interpretation that it’s opposed to meat eating. But it doesn’t mean that veganism emerged due to an opposition to meat eating to compete with it.
I am thinking about reading The Lord of Light. Technology advances and people attain techno-Buddhist-Hindu god status.
Let us not forget the Netsential leak from #BlueLeaks a few weeks ago.

Netsential.com [1] was a Houston-based software dev, hosting, and cloud provider. I lived most of my life in Houston, and they are loosely connected to an old ISP called Texas.net and a more recent data center company called Data Foundry.

Something like 630+ websites were hosted by Netsential. All of them DHS fusion centers, multi state intel sharing groups, police training outfits, etc. The source code leaked as well for all of these websites. Extremely poorly done ASP.net rigged together "web apps" with CSV files being used for the backend data tier.

Here is the most fascinating thing. 7 years ago, as part of the Edward Snowden document dump, a single page screenshot of an list of the Top 16 addresses the NSA was targeting in North America appeared.

#16 on that list [2], codenamed WAXTITAN, was the IP address 64.9.146.208, which belonged and belongs to Netsential/YHC Corporation [3].

The question now I think is who in the world are these other 15 IP addresses, all of which are scattered around typically rural North America?

Antidotally I am a heavy airpod pro user, averaging seven hours a day. I have two pairs so one is always at full power. I have not experienced this problem.

I’m still confused. We know the fatality rate is ~1% (0.6% as per CDC’s latest).

So for every death there are 99 other cases. There is no way that 19 of those have permanent disabilities. That would means several million Americans are seriously disabled by the virus.
Maybe because the internet actually provides tremendous value to society in exchange for that energy, unlike Bitcoin.

Or maybe because there's no inherent reason why the internet couldn't be made more energy efficient, also unlike Bitcoin.
I've always been curious of picking up a pair of bluetooth B&O buds, but as an Apple user - the W1/H1 chip for constant pairing with no interference in high traffic areas (subway, city streets) is huge

Master/slave terminology is absolutely accurate here and changing it will have an impact on my life.

Further supporting your point, that is perhaps why they are called “Generals”, IE: they have mastered enough areas that they are now generalists able to approach many subject areas and problem sets.
Wow, a classic case of "What were they thinking?"..

If an intern or new hire was guilty, it'd be more understadable. Perhaps, being senior, they got too comfortable with the power they wielded - but without the tech savvy to understand the consequences.
AFAIK this site only uses DHT (Distributed Hash Table) sniffing to track IPs.

I most of the time writing crummy firmware in C. You can do inheritance in C and it always feels like an antipattern. In C# mostly never unless a library requires it. Especially since C# has generics without type erasure.

I think inheritance is a bad solution to the problem of wanting to call foo's baz() method or access a property. Been way long since I poked at Ruby or Javascript but I thought those languages allow you to do that without inheritance. If so why would you even bother 99.9% of the time.

An experienced player could tell by the feel and sound -- if they know what to look for. The problem is the guitars are so rare and expensive that the intersection of {skilled enough} with {has experience with enough originals} is not huge. They mention Joe Bonamassa as one example.

Absolutely agree with all of that. As to that interview:

- He's probably flat-out lying, poopooing the data driven stuff to come off more human, humble, and sympathetic to the interviewer.

- If the numbers really did say they should stick to their monopoly, huge extra revenue be damned, then this is some model the FTC and "...but consumer prices!" crowd needs to be forced to grapple with.
Ask HN: Describe your agile/scrum team

Expecting is different from enforcing in the contract, as is the case with interest/usury. As long as the contract allows for a gain or loss (other caveats holding), then it should be fine in general. On a side note, there is no strict definition of what "Islamic banking" is, much of so called Islamic banking you hear about today, isn't.
Not the person you're responding to, but I had a similar experience.

There were basically a few stages:

1. The Eternal September, and it was dark and cold.

2. The rise of the spam bots, and it became filthy.

3. The weight of the binaries, and ISPs began to shy away.

4. The popularity of PHPBB, and The Eternal September began to wane.

5. The binaries grew heavier, the spam more pervasive, and more and more human peers found their access dropped by their ISPs.

NNTP was glorious while it lasted, but it died by its popularity.
I had this. The first attempt to fix was to ship a replacement rubber earpiece, which didn't work. Ultimately they replaced the entire earbud.

Adorno was just not immune to his own creation but was all for the left wing cause until then, and Lind being anti-semitic has nothing to do with what Peterson talks about.

ICML 2020 Announces Outstanding Paper Awards
This might be off topic or overly pedantic but why must this be referred to as 'rattlegate'? How is this a 'gate'? In what way does a line of rattling heaphones resemble an incident where the president of the united States was caught incriminating himself on tape in a hotel? Why must this term be used for everything?
In Beverly Hills, there's some push for futuristic tech with autonomous cars and facial recognition. My point is, the people that participate in the local government and police measures are very average. Any smart, capable person could get involved and help develop better programs.

However, because law enforcement and wealth inequality is what it is, I'm somewhat open to surveillance system in certain areas of BH that are high risk targets. I hope these systems aren't used against regular residents and only actual threats. But, of course, that's a fallacy.
Yes that's fair, with less code you have less to parse. Parsing time is ideally a negligible amount of time, especially because it can normally happen asynchronously, but for very large libraries I could see it being an issue.
The idea "exclusive monopolies" and transferable intellectual property rights for perpetuity is bullshit.

The blunt fact of the matter is - A majority of the movies would gain more by giving it away to the public domain because most movies fail. Radio did not kill Art. Internet is the new radio.

The same is true even for software. 80% of business fail. It would not matter if they gave their code away. GPL based business have made billions, i'n not even talking about open source and have more users than some of the biggest "startups".

Among the minority that made it "big" copyright contributed maybe 5% to the success. IP allows big companies to bully creators, lie to consumers and bully independent companies that they perceive as threats.

In Music, Code, Science ... openness has lead to more innovation. Movies and Games present an interesting case. They have plenty of upfront costs. Games have already embraced some notions of the freemium mode. It would be really interesting if 100 million dollar movie is entirely funded by the people. There is nothing stopping that from happening. Copyright, Patents should last at-most 1 year.
I think he was referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Communist_Manifesto Perhaps specifically: "In the last paragraph of the Manifesto, the authors call for a 'forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions', which served as a call for communist revolutions around the world." And we know how those went.
Important updates about the LGPD (Brazilian GDPR)
It's probably more accurate to ascribe it to his movement than Ramakrishna himself, but everyone would have been influenced by it. The "infrastructure" of philosophical discourse and spreading of ideas had largely atrophied away from neglect before the British even arrived in India. The big centers of learning, like Nalanda or Takshasila, had been burned out long ago.

The traveling orders of priests were greatly diminished and didn't hold the kind of intellectual or cultural sway among people in power that they used to. In Adi Shankaracharya's time they would travel around the country giving lectures and being feted by village heads and kings as they hosted big debates and symposiums.
But once the background education system was gone, much of the continued development and education depended on the beneficence of sympathetic Muslim rulers.
Oh c'mon get over yourself

Humble people don't go around talking about how humble they are, much less sideways virtue signalling on how patient and pathetic they are.

If you're going to blow your own trumpet out of the side of your mouth you should consider a career in politics and leave program writing to the professionals.

China, an authoritarian state can and does use its financial influence to force it's interests. Do you not see how Chinese vc answer to china and not india? If you think they can just be banned, what else do you think is the Indian government doing?

One is operational expenditures of programmer time, the other is for capital expenditures of time.

It depends: are you developing, a prototype or the early iteration of a product, or a mature product?

The "Maximizing the work not done" mantra... really depends on what time-frame you pick. Work not done over a day, a week, a year, a decade? Different time windows will lead to different decision-making processes.
Yeah, I think a service like this might be very useful for quick prototyping and proving out an MVP thanks to the native es6 modules, but I personally wouldn't rely on it for anything critical.

Coincidentally jspm.dev, a similar ES modules CDN in this space recently released a new version as well: https://jspm.org/jspm-dev-release

Their release post had a lot more technical details (including their strategy for code splitting which is critical for the production use case) so I'm inclined to trust them a little bit more for production use cases. Curious where I could read more about the architecture behind Skypack?
>What's Bitcoin's excuse? Where is the technical limitation?

Block propagation? Non-shit 2nd layer? If all BTC transactions fees only cost .00001 USD to settle and that was consistent you think it wouldn't be more widely adopted? Fees are clearly a function of technical limitation.

This is all middle-mile deployments, so the utility would be leasing strands to cable/telco/other entities.

There are quite a few routes built on HV power lines. Problem is you get weird problems like lightning strikes inducing magnetic field that affects polarization and other things that cause outages. E.g. https://www.ofcconference.org/getattachment/d0ec1565-ce81-48...
You're comparing one of the strongest economic expansions in US history (1991-2001, brief, small recession, then 2001-2007, stopping at 2005 of course) to a period bookended by two of the worst recessions in US history (2007, 2020). It should be concerning that equity returns don't differ very much. That means they aren't correlated with the underlying economy.
This has happened to me with both my left and right AirPod, Apple was pretty good about replacing them but it was obviously still annoying especially since they’re $400 earbuds.

The Linux Kernel codebase is full of inheritance, if you are open to understand how inheritance gets implemented in plain C.

A graphics driver for a certain vendor inherits from the DRM class, which inherits from PCI, which inherits from the Device class. Structs which embeds structs which embed structs, and you can access the base classes using the container_of() macro.

As for me, I particularly abuse inheritance in C++, although I a lot of cases I end up replacing it with template programming. To the luck of society, most of the code where I abuse templates and inheritance is not used by anybody else except for me.
Wow. I've had this same problem for months. I spent over an hour on the phone with Support just trying to describe the problem, until they came to the conclusion that there was absolutely no way to send me new ones or to have me send them my broken ones...because I live in Puerto Rico. The week prior, Apple had sent me a new cable for my phone in 2 days flat, yet when I had a problem, there was nothing they could do about it.

A serious question, how do you feel about working at such a powerful bank that has been involved in so many controversies, to put it lightly?

It is not a far-fetched argument that institutes like that are only a burden to society, existing only to widen socio-economical gaps. The point of view of an insider would be very interesting I think.
You're distracting from the point. It doesn't matter how strong the central government is or how divided the population is.

What we are discussing is foreign ownership and foreign power over India, and you just said that allowing EIC too much of these was a mistake

People get angry at the self-checkout for telling them to please be sure to take all of their bagged items - personally, I'd crack the dash open and rip out the voicebox if my car spoke to me. I would, however, prefer voice for serious hazards, or for some hands free operations, like device pairing. "Leaking oil/belt broken/wheel flat - pull over now" would probably save a lot of people a lot of money.

I suppose my point is the idea of "this plane is going to crash" demands a bit more clarity for users than "you left your lights on," which probably contributes to why tones are more common in the car.
Thanks!

We don't expect users to upload all data to our service - the type of data we're interested in is "metadata." URLs to the raw data, labels, inferences, embeddings, and any additional attributes for their dataset. Users can POST this to our API and we'll ingest it that way.

If users don't provide their own embeddings, we need access to the raw data so we can run our pretrained models on the data to generate embeddings.

However, if users do provide their own embeddings, we would never need access to the raw data - Aquarium operates on embeddings, so the raw data URLs would be purely for visualization within the UI. This is really nice because it means that we can access restrict URLs so only customers can visualize it (via URL signing endpoints, only authorizing IP addresses within customer VPNs, Okta integration) and Aquarium would operate on relatively anonymized embeddings and metadata.
Just want to add same here.
Interesting. I’ve had mine since November last year and use them for many hours per day. Haven’t had any issues.

Could it be the way it is being used causing it? Maybe dropping a lot? Or carrying it in a bag with other items, E.g. magnets?

I'm kind of surprised so many people are having issues in this thread. This is probably the only apple product that hasn't caused problems for me.

SCYTHE's in-memory client loads an in-memory CPython interpreter/runtime, even, so you do not even have to compile .py to an exe to run on Windows, for example.
It’s a actually quite easy to write a prolog interpreter, so you could probably just emed the code in Python so that you have a better integration with the rest of your codebase. You can probably just look for some logic programming libraries in Python.
