Windows has first-class support for Docker with WSL2. It has a package manager, a multi-tab terminal. Microsoft is also a huge contributor to open-source projects. Should I go on? Why would I pick a desktop tailored solely toward easing mobile development when I'm writing server software or using my laptop not for mobile computing? Not to mention, Windows has first class touch screen support - unlike macOS!
It’s not unstable in anyway. What he’s describing is a lab. Lots of labs will do exactly what he wants.
Adorama is a huge company. Must be a top 1000 e-commerce vendor.
It's any music that wasn't played on pop stations. No mention of Wu Tang, Tupac, Biggie, Green Day, Radiohead or even less known but influential artists like Aphex Twin. Resounding meh.
There is still no replacement tooling on the web, the way you can manage movie clips (as instances), attach animations, control the timeline.. (compose them)... That was really a joy..
Also was awesome the feedback loop within the ide (just hit ctrl+enter) to run it and try it.
On these times, flash was also the predominant option for embedding video on websites.. (there are lot's of stories that are coming back to now: preloading, lazy loading, easing... (I still follow Robert Penner for they ease equations). Thought people still uses tweenlite ;)
Slack is floundering and profoundly embarrassed after mocking Microsoft publicly with a full NYT ad [1].

Slack has barely changed for 4 years meanwhile Teams has unprecedented deep integrations with business tools.

Competing is not taking two years to release a single feature (shared channels), Slack.

The company is stagnating, and this is senior leadership responding by trying to wield the power of the government against a competitor.

Slack went from (literally) "we'll be right there ready [for your competition]" to salty lawsuits and sour grapes.

This is pathetic. Compete or die.

They were! We had much better build and art pipelines than many of the PC games I’ve worked on. And the metrics data tracking and ugly anti user behavioral stuff was years ahead of itself.
No judgement of not knowing but para-virtualization is not emulation and it is not a new or niche technology either. I think IBM was doing it in the 60s (might be off base with that factoid because modern-ish operating systems like the RC4000 weren't even a thing until the late 60s). It has simply been superseded by hardware assisted vt that allows for multiple "ring-0" guests.

There is a greater overhead and a limited scope when using paravirtualization. But that doesn't mean it is a relic, in fact you can try it right now in Virtualbox. I also believe that the Linux KVM has para-virtualization optimizations if the guest is Linux and the bare metal doesn't support hardware VT.
Agreed. I've been playing AI Dungeon with their GPT-3 model, and it really does feel like there's a scatterbrained but human DM on the other side.
Ha hey, Greensock was and was and is the best, and it’s still going strong for Js. Frankly we could probably get half the experience of flash if we all just went and worked with that library!
There's a massive tension between privacy and utility. Most of the value of having the data is in publishing it so you can match with relations.
Seems like the core API is the same to create and manage virtual machines, it’s just that Intel-specific features like VMCS aren’t available on Apple silicon.
What?! Didn't Microsoft had Yammer way before Slack was born?
Your dismissive use of the word terminator only makes it more difficult to accept your argument. You probably would have confidently predicted that the direct evolutionary descendants of humans were nowhere anywhere near becoming intelligent.
Running a restaurant has a great deal of intrinsic value for a lot of people. Even if you happened to only care about making money and security, you have to compete with all the people who will settle for bare survival. So the whole industry has to run on the ragged edge of survival at the best of times because most people are trying to live out a dream, until they become completely unable.
It’s the same kind of emulation as VirtualBox. (And WSL2.)
They also ruled out the worst case scenario, but this doesn't sell equally well...
Apple’s CPUs have historically not been able to do this. Apple is adding APIs to make this possible.
Parallels has had a shipping product that uses Hypervisor.framework for a couple of years - its how they ship Parllels Lite (or whatever it's called) in the MAS.

In the non-MAS version there's a per-VM option to use either Parallels' or Apples' Hypervisor.
Didn't Google just did the same thing by bundling Zoom, Slack, and more into Gmail?

> Is it possible yet to virtualize an OSX install without breaking the EULA?

Has a single court of law yet made a ruling to set a precedent saying they are legally binding?

If no, I’ll just keep treating EULAs like what they are: a corporate wish list of unlawful restrictions they want to impose on their customers.

Why should anyone care about that?
I would really love to know your complete setup for this. I’m impressed and would like to attempt something like that!
Yes, I'm sorry to say I feel the same.
I set up my public key with you, but not willing to run a strange new executable on my machine
Apple is really bad at building products which their leadership doesn't want to use personally. Ping and iAd come to mind, server would be the same.

Yet Apple has quite the powerful chip family. If they were to spin off a subsidiary without the consumer-focused mission...well, that's what I would do!
Exactly. That is the premise I disagree with.

The general sentiment here is that people have used college as an extremely expensive social club and believe that is its greatest value. I wouldn’t think of investing $100,000 of my current or future income in order to make friends or learn about myself.

I hope I’m not alone in thinking that I learned difficult material that I would not have grasped on my own and had self-improvement from meeting academic challenges under my own responsibility. Maybe this is rare, but I have directly applied my undergrad education to solving problems and used its foundation for learning more.

The social aspect of college is not itemized on the tuition statement. The cost of tuition is related to the quality of education directly provided by the school.
I was with a company once that paid $100. The content was actually pretty bad.

Where do you find quality writers? I can’t imagine it’s Fiverr.
I wonder if that's one reason they can't open it up. Perhaps they are ensuring that responses that come from the AI are sufficiently different from anything in the training corpus, so it can't be queried for sensitive data or large chunks of copyrighted material.

There are only a handful of AMD options worth mentioning and availability for models is very regional. Those without a dGPU are the Lenovo S540-13ARE (4800U but has dual-fan/dual-heatpipe cooling and runs at a sustained 38W), these TongFang PF4/PF5 models (a variety of OEMs like the Slimbook, Tuxedo), the 2020 Redmibooks, and the just announced Honor Magicbook Pro.

The rest are mostly gaming models. The Asus G14, TongFang's GK5/GK7 (like the Eluktronics RP-15/17), HP Omen 15, and the Lenovo Legion 5 are the best of the bunch. They all have Nvidia 1660Tis/2060s.

The 4800H performs on par with the 10875H at lower temps/power usage but I think competition w/ a Macbook is going to be subjective. None have anywhere close to the fit and finish of a MBP. Most are significantly cheaper. Most will have a better port selection and better upgradability (although some also have soldered RAM). Most will have better battery life. Only a few will be more portable. Only a few support USB-C PD. Only a few have >FHD screens and if you need >100% sRGB color gamut, there's literally only one AMD option (the 4K Schenker VIA 15 Pro), and that won't be available until September at the earliest. There are plenty of 10875H+ laptop options on the Intel side. Some like the new XPS's are specifically designed to compete head-to-head w/ MBPs.
> haven't encountered much gnuplot use nowadays

when I run top on a login server on HPC systems, there's always a few gnuplots doing something.

> Matplotlib is truly terrible

If Matplotlib is now considered terrible, then at least it has advanced the standard expectation. When I started plotting stuff, choosing among plplot, plotutil, latex, gnuplot etc, Matplotlib was and remains a great choice. And it does what you prescribe:

> first design then language (or use an existing one) and just implement libraries to do what you want
Some sitcoms use laugh/fake audience tracks, and some people hate those too.

I think parent should have used 'formal', as there are still different writing styles. Formal, business, intimate, friend, etc.

Many do find emoticons inappropriate in some formats...
I understand the desire to trace one's family history, find/treat diseases, discover murderers, etc. However, any time I read about these types of personal information breach events (DNA and genealogy could arguably be the most personal info of all) I so badly wish we didn't have this tech to begin with and how much present day sucks compared to the past as a direct result of these personal data mining tech companies (thinking social media, surveillance as well). I also wish the general population thought more clearly about the long term consequences of their information being in the hands of others before they so naively and/or willingly divulge it. Worse yet, we often don't have the choice. Nightmare scenarios where some could wield such information to do harm are not too difficult to think up, and if we are really being honest with ourselves, are occurring present day. Personal information data playgrounds like Facebook become precision tools for deception and oppression at best, genocide at the worst (thinking Myanmar). Not to single out Facebook, imagine what a psychopathic genocidal leader could do with 23andme data. With the rampant data collection, the human population has never faced this scale and breadth of societal threat before and we are indirectly feeling the consequences of it in our lives daily. I wish we could go back.
It makes sense to phrase it like that when politics worldwilde neglected the issue presumably hoping for best case scenarios.
Technically I believe you're still "covered" if you were to e.g. run a macOS VM, under some non-macos "host", on Mac hardware.

I'd imagine the most common scenario for that would be macOS guests running on ESXi on Mac hardware, but my understanding is that e.g. a macOS guest under say Vbox or KVM with a linux host OS should also be "ok" in terms of the EULA.
>You could probably run Linux on one of the GPD Win devices.

I had mentioned it in my parent comment. I cannot get these devices inside my country for the same reason I cannot get a PinePhone due to China-India tensions; even before the blockade I have heard horror stories from people who imported computers from Aliexpress in India having to pay 2-3x the price as import taxes!

Furthermore, I would like a brand which is available to greater Linux audience in western countries, so that it's been vetted properly.

>Also, as an aside: rather than using a GSM module with a real SIM card that you'd have to pay monthly for, you could just subscribe to a VoIP service

I do use VoIP services, but without a GSM module how do you connect to the Internet(4G/LTE) on the move in a PC? i.e. considering you are not carrying a smartphone. Places where WiFi hotspots are available are not an issue(If you don't consider them to be a security risk or being stationery), but say you have to book a Uber on the move then a GSM Module for Internet + Anbox for Uber app seems necessary.

smsforwarder looks cool, I will check it out. Thank you.
Wow, that's better than I expected! So maybe a resale market could develop on Craigslist or whatever. Buy one, get your data, clean and wipe it thoroughly, and then resell it. Maybe the refurbished price would stabilize at $500 or whatever.
> Paint like a maestro with Krita

That pretty much sums up the care and thoughtfulness of the Linux desktop ecosystem.
A biopsy causes complications up to and including the death of the patient (secondary infections, etc.).

A biopsy is the next step to confirm "cancerous/non-cancerous" after a mammogram screen gives a "positive" result.

The problems with the screening is that once a "positive" comes up on the screen most patients cannot stop themselves from going to the next stage even if the probabilities don't warrant it.

The only medical "solution" was to decrease the frequency of screenings and raise the age at which first screening should occur.
Pudding makes beautiful articles, but this is specifically 90's Pop Mall Music Canon. I think it'll be more interesting to analyze the top 1000 popular 90's songs still being streamed today and work backwards to measure the influence and delta of their past popularity.
The terminator idea is worth dismissing in this context. Even if GPT-3 is indeed intelligent, there's no reason to think that it's a goal-based system that could independently want things or do things.

Thank you for your great work! I see some wonderful potential educational uses for this. If you'd like further feedback, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
Yeah this happened to me as well.
If they took good advice, they wouldn’t be founders :/
Lwn.net is without any doubt the greatest free and open source publication in the world, to me at least. Very high standards both technical and ethical.

Looks very nice, minimalistic. Just wanted to make you aware of ForgeFed [0]. Don't know how it fits in your approach and that depends on features you planned, but maybe just like Vervis [1] you could be one of the early adopters and become the forge of choice on the fediverse (they love this stuff, just like they also embrace Sourcehut).

If the data is managed by a company that isn't in the healthcare industry, HIPPA doesn't apply. An insurance company, even a health insurance company can purchase non healthcare data from an analytics company.

It wasn't HIPPA protected when it was on my heritage, and it won't be healthcare data when it's eventually leaked and resold.

If you don't think legitimate companies are interested in buying that data, look around at the market for our password breach and identity theft data. There's a brisk, legal trade.
In the past, S3 buckets were created with much less sane defaults and you didn't have the ability to unilaterally forbid any public access that you do today. Also, configuring Bucket Profiles is a confusing and hard to test situation. And if that weren't enough, S3 buckets also have ACLs (though they are deprecated) that represent yet another way to configure access to your buckets.

So, from the confusing UX to the multiple permissions settings, I can easily see how a company could get in this situation. In fact, the problem is so bad that AWS has revised the whole S3 thing several times, with each new iteration more secure than the last. Unfortunately, that doesn't help the company that configured their buckets 5 years ago and haven't touched them since.
From my perspective, a lot of that is simply busy areas. Areas with a lot of pepole moving around are safer in cities than areas without a lot of people.

In Asian cities, there is plenty of nightlife on the streets. In Europe, places outside the city centre seem to shut down after dinner.
It will turn quite heavily on what is the market in which you assert a monopoly exists. There certainly are alternatives to someone developing mobile apps -- Android, others.

The more narrowly you define it, of course you can make anything seem like a monopoly. Whether that narrow market is truly what is in dispute, is the question.

But you should listen to Thiel's talk on this -- is a restaurant that is the only British food outlet on Main Street, Springfield a monopoly over the British restaurant industry on Main Street?
How to Name or Rename Docker Containers
There are a row of numbers at the top of the keyboard, don't need two sets.
Hate to say it, but I agree. It was so annoying.
It hasn't had functionality removed but it feels clearly like an unloved product at Adobe. The updates have mostly managed to make it feel worse instead of better.

On top of that, for kids learning to make games, the idea of getting a $20/month Adobe CC subscription is a massive stretch. For it to catch on these days there would really need to be some free tier.
ion precedes PartiQL by many years, maybe even a decade. The sole reason ion exists is to make parsing json faster and less ambiguous so that a few specific edge cases are handled efficiently. So far so good, right?

The problem is that it spreads, like an infection, to surrounding services. Inside Amazon there are literally hundreds of libraries that duplicate standard json libraries in various languages but support ion instead of json. All of this is just to deal with interoperability.

Ion is slower than protobufs and less universally understood than json. Honestly it's just an annoyance.
Beijing doesn't that much ammo. I feel people who say this havent done the necessary mental exercise. Because it seem apparent Beijing only real tool was that they were quiet until now.

Not only have they been firing back, they been doing it for a while. I don't see how you can make the argument they haven't based on their threats, stealing of intellectual property, debt diplomacy and everything else they've done to the US and its allies. The US biggest benefit is everyone now is paying attention. Everyone agrees that China is a threat while 4 years ago we laughed at the thought.
The mods seem to spend an enormous amount of time curating the posts and comments. This is an opinionated mod team, and that's what makes it work.
Many hosted CI solutions (i.e. Travis, Github Actions) support OS X natively.
Was going to say this as well- I highly doubt it's possible to anonymize DNA and still have useful data.

'Anonymized Data' is a misnomer.
Government, the corporations are just doing things that are efficient which are allowed by the government.
Let's see if they accept GPT-3 generated articles :-)
Kharkovchanka – Soviet Antarctic Cruisers [video]
The gun toting people are far more dangerous than the average night dweller.
I’ve met some really great self-learned programmers. Never had anyone self learned even been able to make a basic inductive proof, but they will still call themselves kings in CS.

Got a bit sick of the attitude that CS is programming. Switched to Data Science and after a while I’m starting to see Data Scientists that can’t do even basic math. With 6 lines of copy pasted code they’ve made a dnn. They know how to separate into test sets and that’s it. I really feel we need certifications that people actually respect because this is just the ultimate lemon market.

Now my colleagues are just PhDs and I couldn’t be happier. But still I do worry about the field. What will math heavy fields do in the future? Slap theoretical in front of the course as to not make self-learners self-conscious?
It's basically already open through AI Dungeon. I've had all sorts of conversations so far with copyrighted characters.
A very interesting experience that is well spoken. Very inspiring. Hopefully this can provide enthusiasm and energy for everyone who reads it to make changes to yourself as you have done.
I suspect that some of the negativity and unwillingness to give more credit to the possibility that HCQ works stems from Trump having jumped the gun in typical Trump fashion, and applauded it so early in the process of investigation. A strong general media disfavor of anything Trump-favored could easily spread from there and, since many scientists are also sensitive to reputation, they too clammed up for a while, until it really did start to seem that it helps in some cases.

Here where I live, an acquaintance of mine is a doctor in one of the region's biggest public hospitals dedicated to COVID cases, and he and his colleagues all use HCQ regularly for their hospitalized patients along with a few other drugs that include ivermectin and azithromycin. He insists that they do seem to provide therapeutic help, in his clinical experience, and more anecdotally, this same doctor has treated two very elderly (90 years+) people I know who got COVID and both recovered after a fairly moderate level of illness.
Definitely not on the Protestant branch of things.
There are some caveats with that though (some of which I just found out after some digging):

- You'll probably need more than one flow cell (which is used up during sequencing) for a human genome

- The flow cells make up the bulk of the price, costing ~$800 in single unit quantities

- You have to send in used flow cells for refurbishing (which is how they can make them as cheap)

So the $1000 is more or less already the refurbished price.
There is zero evidence that GPT-3 has the ability to become self-aware and define new goals for itself. But I will give you that if your idea of 'close' is hundreds of thousands to millions of years, then yeah, AGI might be 'close'.
Would you really pay half the sticker price of college to receive those social experiences only, without the academics and diploma? The majority of those experiences are self-organized and don’t cost the university anything. Even if that is half the value of the college experience, it’s much cheaper than that. Why not live in a college town and hang around near the campus instead?
Trump’s description of a cognitive test is mesmerizing
Not sure why you linked to that page, as it doesn't mention magic at all, unless I missed it, apart from this in the first paragraph:

"The Ebers papyrus is an ancient recipe book dated to approximately 1552 BC. It contains a mixture of magic and medicine with invocations to banish disease and a catalogue of useful plants, minerals, magic amulets and spells."

Materia medica was the old term for what is now pharmacology.
The data is all garbage.

Data in India has a long way to travel from village to town to district to state to the national level. At each stage all kind of errors intentional and unintentional enter the system. All these errors keep accumulating as they move up the food chain. By the time it reaches the top (and it takes its sweet time) god knows what it actually means.

Just to make things more interesting there is major fudging at the end of the chain to make it fit what was produced by the system over the previous years, cause budgets and all kinds of plans and policies that are based on prior garbage will start imploding otherwise.

The interesting thing Covid has done is expose how bad those numbers are because the regional govts for the first time are dutifully releasing Daily Data from the morgues. That data leaks out non-covid deaths, which should more or less match non-covid deaths/mortality rate data reported from prior years. And it doesn't. By large factors.
(Google non covid mortality rate for whatever city and compare with historic numbers in the national data portal)

Your hypothesis assumes they are all not dying from low hygiene. They probably are, in large numbers, and are just not being counted.
New South Wales has elevated case levels. It's not as obviously terrible as Victoria but it's going the wrong direction.

I actually didn't know about Vietnam and Thailand, so thanks for that. But again it seems like elimination was a conscious strategy like in New Zealand. So in my opinion strategy is the difference, not some innate biological quirk shared by people across New Zealand and Vietnam but apparently not in parts of Australia.
