This takes a habit that's sometimes good for some people and some subjects, and turns it into a universal recommendation, and then claims that's what intelligence is, which is really quite dubious.

To work on math, you need time, a peaceful place to think, and motivation. Even then, you can't do this for everything, because there is too much. Obsessing on something that's not urgent when there's more important stuff to do may not be good time management, depending on your priorities and other claims on your time. But you might do it anyway, depending on your interests.

Also, learning some other subject well may be less about thinking by yourself and more about going out and talking to people, or playing a lot of games, or challenging yourself in some other way. All that takes time too.

But there is a lesson here: knowing something in more than one way means you know it better. I see this especially in music, where there are multiple ways to memorize a piece and they reinforce each other. Auditory memory (being able to hear it in your head), muscle memory, knowing the chords, knowing the lyrics, even remembering where it is on the page can all help.
Enterprise software are like baby outfits you get as baby shower gifts.

They are cute, but they have lots of buttons or they have some decoration that makes them hard to wash, making them impractical to use. While no parent would buy these, every parent has them, because someone else made the decision to buy them.
I believe they sold exclusive servers as a benefit of their paid subscription. That'll quickly get expensive.

Also, s3 quickly sums up if you host content and its difficult to replace.

Apple discontinued the use of PowerPC processors in 2006.
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard released at August 28, 2009 was the first version of OS X to be built exclusively for Intel Macs.

So extrapolating on Mac history one can expect last Intel Mac to be supported for 3 years.
Absolutely, but compare that with not having a filter operating at all. We've seen that one or a few infected individuals can infect hundreds in a closed space, so if we could reduce that by even a small factor, it's definitely significant.
>"few extra seconds of app startup time"

This is atrocious. Barring the cases when the application loads and deciphers some massive dataset upon startup normal application should start instantly or close to that.

Inbox may have been a good concept but the actual software was horrible. The site took ages to load and was painfully slow.
What an excellent talk, many thanks.

One idea comes to my mind (a bit out of topic): as we can store the complete editing history in a document (even including mouse movements) with a fairly small overhead using the ideas of automerge, would this be useful for distinguishing texts that are generated by machines and by humans? Or to detect plagiarism?
Different poster, but my 2016 12" MB has both an unpleasantly slow CPU for basic web browsing and not enough RAM (8 GB). (And no Thunderbolt/eGPU support.) As soon as Apple releases another fanless laptop, I'll buy it.
I'm not an iOS developer and I want to purchase an ARM Mac because I want to help dismantle x86 as the mainstream computing platform.

All I really need is emacs, iterm, compilers and a browser.
Ah yeah I was thinking of that as well (FRS/GMRS), but it's a bit less versatile as someone else mentioned (no repeaters, less range). A full-on HT isn't much more pricy, and in fact you can transmit/receive on all the same frequencies anyways (IIRC). That said, in Canada you don't need a license to use GMRS (up to 2 watts) which is pretty awesome. A family member of mine has a bunch of GMRS radios which they take up for offroading, hunting, etc. They do have fairly decent range (~2km), especially in more open fields and so on. In mountainous or heavily-forested areas, not so much haha :) The low barrier to entry here in Canada makes them a great solution for casual use, going on a family getaway in the outdoors or so on.

> The original link discussed typing latencies in the range of 1-30ms.

30ms is close to extremely annoying. You will notice a 30ms latency in a video game when moving around, turning etc.

Having that kind of latency on mouse movement can make it close to impossible to hit fast targets in a shooter for instance, because it will destroy perceived synchronicity of input with the response, confusing your brain and destroying immersion.

The same can be said about navigating in a terminal based text editor. A few milliseconds of delay can take your brain from "I am the cursor" to "I am controlling this cursor, which respond a short time after I execute a certain action". Frustrating.

What is also super frustrating to me when using vim in a slow terminal is that I will consistently overshoot the line where I meant to place the cursor. I realize most of the latency probably comes from my brain and nervous system, but a few ms can be just enough to make the cursor end up in the next line instead.
You can also say that ambulance chasers improve public safety by making errors more costly.

This isn't about privacy. It's a money grab by lawyers.
It highly depends on your use case, If your work require Mac extensively [iOs app dev??]and you also require mobility with device, I will suggest to buy 1-2 year old Mac laptop.
else if mobility is not concern, try using Hackintosh based system. There are many known well working sets of hardware combination discussed among hackintosh community.
I would pay good money for a Jira CLI, preferably with an ncurses UI to make it easy to navigate.

No, but it's already the case that some drivers are already tightly coupled to an architecture. Does it make sense to build a driver for some internal piece of hardware from an ARM SoC for PPC? Generally, no.

> Apple has demoed Rosetta 2 with apps and games, and shown that there's no apparent difference between running an Intel app on an Intel machine versus an Apple Silicon machine. Everything works as you'd expect, but if performance is important to you it may take some time for all your software to be updated to support the new processors.

Marketing fluff or what? Because if they are emulating x86 on ARM, doesn’t there have to be a performance issue? Unless they built their ARM chip with lots of suspiciously x86-looking functions?
PostHog Analytics [1] is open source, and sofar a very nice alternative (or complement) to Google Analytics.

It's more like Heap Analytics, in that it collects user clicks and other events from your site (or app) and allows you to retro-actively define "actions" based on these events.

For instance, if you decide today to keep track of how many users click your sign-up button on page X, PostHog can graph this metric for you for every moment since you first installed it on your site.

You can combine actions into funnels, graph nearly everything, the GDPR support is first-class, there's support for heatmaps, feature flags (rolling out new features to just a percentage of your visitors), and user cohort analysis.

UI latency is UI latency, and the problem in both cases is due to what markstos mentioned in his initial comment: the increasing internal complexity of the software stack used to develop the software. It's not like modern hardware isn't fast enough to do literally everything that needs to be done locally with minimal UI latency.

But the "something" in this case is "not kill people". I'm sorry, I can't understand that absolutism. If I can save a million people by making some innocent babies cry from an immunization shot, I should be able to make their parents angry by shaming them into wearing a mask or washing their hands, right?
Toys are /not/ a bad business. If you're an investor looking for 10x returns on millions in capital, sure. If you're a maker/designer, it's a GREAT business for as long as you embrace the holiday sales cycle and can command a healthy margin.

I designed a game with my brother a few years ago, and we've been growing steadily every year.

https://llamadrama.com

This business only required a few thousand dollars to get started. If you're a maker, go make your toy/game!

If you're an investor, go away. You'll probably ruin the business. It's so incredibly cheap to get an idea into the market place, we don't need you anymore.

This looks... incredibly interesting. Having a multitude of neural networks as agents competing with each other to maximize a general objective for the entire "society of agents" seems very appealing to me as a mechanism for scaling computation. Call it Minsky's pyrrhic victory, if you will.[a]

One obvious next step is to partition both network and resources within the this "society of agents," so that no agent competes with all other agents and no agent competes for all resources, creating sparsity and small-world dynamics at runtime. The authors are probably already considering this.

Looking forward to digging in :-)

--

[a] Minsky, who developed the "Society of Mind" theory, is often credited as having caused a decline in neural net research and a shift to symbolic AI research in the 1970s and early 1980s, after the publication of his book "Perceptrons: an introduction to computational geometry," with Seymour Paper. I find it a bit ironic that the "society of mind" in this new paper consists of descendants of the perceptron. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptrons_(book)#Reception_a... for details.

90% of the men who lack confidence, lack confidence for a good reason.

Surely if it was just about confidence in itself, evolution and sexual selection would have made all men super confident by now.

The truth is men are mostly obsolete and worthless by the standard values that have been in place since the discovery of agriculture -- phisical labor is a lot less valuable thanks to mecanization and automation, the police, professional army, social wellfare have taken away a big chunk of what made men valuable before.
Can't say about the Sony, but you can't sleep in Bose QC20. Well... you can, and they were pretty comfortable, but they'll very likely break pretty quickly. I went through several pair until I finally twigged that sleeping in them was probably the root cause. Have had fewer problems with the QC20 since not sleeping with them in.

Same here. It does start instantly on my laptop though
It's better but not perfect. If you tried Linux on commodity laptops a decade ago, you'd frequently run into awful hardware issues. There's less of that now with the OEM laptops (with some exceptions; looking at you, Killer wlan chipsets!).

UI jank is also reduced but not eliminated. Even Pop!/DE Ubuntu have a fair number of rough edges - not so much that you're constantly tearing your hair out, but there's definite room for improvement. Personally, I live with it because I also think Windows and OSX have regressed in usability and stability, but I'd be a liar if I didn't mention all the time spent yelling at things like DPI scaling w/ hardware dock-attached monitors.

e: also, expect to do some manual power tuning if you want anything close to battery life parity.
Yeah, that's my thinking as well. Maybe congress will pass a nationwide extension on home mortgages for some determined duration of the pandemic? Rent is less clear. Maybe something similar for the landlords and in return there is a moratorium on evictions?
That’s called Planning and Forecasting and there are plenty of dedicated apps. It’s a sales-heavy market though, where your competitors are the likes of Oracle and SAP, so it’s hard to reach.
Followup: this was very helpful, thank you. As much for the technical content as the inspiration that it could be viable.

No, it didn’t really work out for you.

Yes, it’s working out great for me!

Konsole with Terminus is an aesthetically pleasing environment in which to work, 8 hours a day.

i3 in 4k, even at 30Hz, looks great. Vim renders fast (66-80ms keyboard latency.)

eog, evince, and gimp let me fiddle with materials. gnome-screenshot copies to the clipboard for rapidly sharing notes with others, based on what I have on screen.

davmail transparently connects dumb IMAP clients to the corporate email, address book, and calendaring systems. I have an XBiff alerting me to incoming Outlook emails!

REPL.it is slow in Firefox but fast in Chromium. It’s going to work just fine for managing pupils’ class work.

My home directory is encrypted and mounted on login. Mutt and offlineimap let me handle last term’s mail in bulk.

Python and git and tmux let me prepare and mark work from the students, or at least they should do come next term. I have all my little tools working to give me an excellent markdown environment for note taking on classes and pupils and meetings. Asciidoctor for the more typographically demanding class materials.

Absolutely all of this was a breeze to set up because all of these technologies just work in Raspbian/Debian on armhf. It has, so far, been unbelievably clean and pleasant.

I even have LXC working locally, for running Unix and IPv6 experiments with multiple little Alpine “VMs”. χ!
Yup, I do.

I'm a full-stack web dev (who's been stuck dealing with cross-platform hybrid apps at $DAYJOB for a while), and the continued lockdown of OS X, its iOS-ification, and now a new CPU complicating Windows / Linux support have me starting the painful task of figuring out what my next personal setup will be.

Currently thinking it may be a Librem 15 with NixOS, but step one is to try building a basic env in a VM and seeing how it feels.

Great. How about their teachers and school staff, parents and extended family? What are the consequences of watching you’re teachers get seriously ill or die, losing a grandparent, or your mom or dad? Also, novel disease so we don’t actually know the long term consequences for children or anyone else.

> But the "something" in this case is "not kill people".

Yes it's a worthwhile cause to speak up for!

I don't believe in 'the ends justify the means' except in some limited cases such as an imminent existential threat.

I think you should use your logic to campaign for legislation or regulation, not try to force people by applying pain.
Interestingly enough, they've pretty much stopped making any toys for the Star Wars sequel trilogy but are continuing to make original trilogy toys. Some franchises are just that much more ephemeral than others.
From the article:

For a simplistic definition, the eigenquestion is the question where, if answered, it likely answers the subsequent questions as well. Great framing starts by searching for the most discriminating question of a set — the eigenquestion.
Professional confidence isn't hard to quantify. Give a quiz with scoring from 1 to 10.

> It turned out that a simple drawing could capture the entire statement of the theorem, and from that drawing, the proof was trivial to derive.

Excellent point.

1. A similar example: Feynman diagrams.

2. Another: Venn diagrams.

3. Longer example: On Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the officer of the deck underway (OOD) must have at least a basic understanding of how the engineering plant works. It's second nature for nuclear-trained OODs, of course, but non-nukes could sometimes have trouble. Back in the day, it turned out that an effective way to help non-nukes learn what they needed to know was to have them: (A) memorize a really-simple block diagram of the reactor and steam system, and also (B) memorize a chant, of modest length, that summarized how things worked. During slow periods while standing OOD watch, I'd make a non-nuke OOD trainee draw the diagram from memory; then I'd quiz him with "what if ..." questions (back then it was always "him"). If he got hung up on a question, I'd tell him, "chant the chant." That usually helped him figure out the answer in short order.

(U.S. submarines don't have that problem, AFAIK, because pretty much every officer who will stand OOD watches is nuclear-trained.)
I've been using xfce for years and love it. It has basic but sufficient tiling and it very scriptable. With autorandr and hook across, it recognises different monitor configurations and automatically sets up xfce panels, docks and keyboard layouts (ie: at work or at home, pc105 gb, and when it's just the Mac monitor on it's own, use gb mac layout).
Ok, we've changed it again to make it a bit more specific. "murder victim" is way too sensational for a title here.
That's good question. I could be totally wrong. I'll look into this and reply back.
'Leaked' video teases a drift-modified Mustang Mach-E
Agree. I always hated git and thought it was so arbitrary and unhelpful. Then I sat down for 1-2 hours and read about how it works. It's not that complicated of a model that it operates on. Once you learn the model, the rest of the commands and how it works start making intuitive sense.

I guess something like Intel PC which would receive power over thunderbolt and use some protocol to communicate with "host" OS. I never heard anything like it, but that's an interesting idea.
I think any parent who's been homeschooling, or attempting to for the greater part of this year's second semester is well aware of the negative consequences for children (and their parents) of keeping the schools closed.

As far as I'm concerned the intellectually honest debate is whether the unknown negative consequences of opening schools trumps the very well known and very broadly observed negative consequences of closing the schools.
Well yeah I guess this is what some people actually do. Personally I would never want to work this way though. And besides, there is probably no-one that would document all they know any way. Simply because no-one has time to write everything down and no-one has the time to read all that text. But aiming for good documentation is still a good thing IMO.
> how time selection is done -- a lots of movements to scroll numbers to find one I need

That's the worst way to pick a time that I've seen and used. It requires a lot of swiping, combined with looking for the precise moment to stop the scrolling and not overshoot.

Thankfully in some Android variants it's replaced with much better alternatives. Google Pixel's stock apps in Android 9 and 10 use a round watch face for time points—where you pick first the hour, then the minute with one tap each. However, this still requires rather precise finger work (and has animation in the middle). The best interface IMO is what Pixel and Philips' phones use in the timer: you just type the minute and the second (or the hour and the minute) in four digits, with a huge number pad on the screen. Philips did better here because its pad occupied most of the screen so the tap targets are larger. The benefit of this interface is that you easily develop muscle memory for it, practically no aiming is required.

‘Simple Mobile Tools’ make pretty good apps which are open-source and are present in F-Droid (https://www.simplemobiletools.com). Alas their ‘Simple Clock’ uses scroll spinners in the timer, but perhaps you could ask them to reconsider. I can help with screens from the better interfaces.
Missed that thanks. Sounds like their tech was too complicated to maintain cost effectively.

However, that isn't a valid justification to not open-source the code.

I also read this comment on their blog 'We do this for free, invest our time and money and try to keep this site up and running. So please don't insult us. Instead you should donate to support us.'

Sounds like they weren't really running it like a business and didn't have much idea on how to monetise it. Shame.
yea, i think logistically its super hard and most likely not practical at all, but it would be amazing if possible...
Do you think they might have explored options to reduce costs before deciding to discontinue the service?

Don't know. There are people in cities working on local food production such as aquaponics, vertical farming, rooftops, etc, but I live in a small town in western North America and that is the system I am attempting to analyze and influence. Its the low hanging fruit (ahem), in that if a small town can't do it, how can you expect a city.
