I've found that geizhals.eu is great for this sort of stuff. Here's an example for Intel LGA1151v2: https://geizhals.eu/?cat=mbp4_1151v2

You can filter by details like the LAN chipset (e.g. Realtek RTL8111E, AQuantia AQC107, etc), the audio chipset, etc.
The underlying assumption in this analysis is that the constant is 1.

Increasing generality in machine learning through procedural content generation

They don't have any idea because very few are willing to pay to have a website that's faster, so there is no incentive to learn it.
I'd recommend moonlighting to get a feel for it. It's a good way to test drive without the "sink or swim" pressure. You can get gigs from your network, partner agencies, or Upwork.com. (The pay sucks on Upwork, but it's good experience and you'll build your confidence.)

Another (more risky) approach would be to deliberately work at a 5 or 10 person company. This will give you a feel for how to "hunt for your own food" but still have a team backing you up. (I subcontracted at a few small agencies during year one, just to keep some cash flow going.)

I'm in the US, so healthcare insurance is a big concern. But corporations aren't the only ones who can buy health insurance. Depending on a lot of factors, it costs roughly $500-$1000 a month to ensure a family. Some chambers of commerce have a group plan that you can buy into.

On the surface, that sounds like a lot of money. But in reality, it's only $12k a year. If you are a primo engineer making $100k+ per year, save up over several years and you have 2-3 years of runway to pay for your insurance. The moonlighting will help with this as well.

Good luck!
According to docs and endless reporting on iMessage, the messages are end-to-end encrypted in transit. In addition to that, they are stored (optional) in your iCloud account, using a separate key, itself stored in iCloud Keychain (protected by 2FA), and this is how you recover them on a separate device. If you opt-out from iCloud backup the messages are not recoverable, can also set them to be erased after 30 days.

> it can pass it to themselves and gain access to your super confidential messages

They can also send your PIN, private keys, all logins and passwords to their own servers, or simply log chats from the system keyboard and UI or any of the OS layers they control. The same is true for any app running on iOS/Android. If you don't trust the OS there is no working around it in software.

There is some nuance. If I were writing software to control missiles then I had better be comfortable with how those missiles get used.

But if I were writing a compiler for a mainstream programming language, then I don't think I could be expected to lose sleep over the fact that _someone_ might be using it to write missile control systems.

My laptop broke down just hours before I had to submit the thesis. It was the day of the deadline. I did have printed copies of the thesis (I had to submit printed copies), however I discovered bad typos on the front page. But, my laptop was down with the only digital version in it. In the end, I corrected the typos using a photocopier. I overlayed the typos with corrections on cut out pieces of paper, and photocopied. It was quite a struggle, but I made it!
Yep. WTFPL, while profane, is unambiguous in its permissivity. It is perhaps ill-advised in its lack of a warranty disclaimer, but that's a problem for the developer, not for the end user.
It doesn't have to be this way. I am not sure when there was a new rule passed in software engineering that said that you shall never use server rendering again and that the client is the only device permitted to render any final views.

With server-side (or just static HTML if possible), there is so much potential to amaze your users with performance. I would argue you could even do something as big as Netflix with pure server-side if you were very careful and methodical about it. Just throwing your hands up and proclaiming "but it wont scale!" is how you wind up in a miasma of client rendering, distributed state, et. al., which is ultimately 10x worse than the original scaling problem you were faced with.

There is a certain performance envelope you will never be able to enter if you have made the unfortunate decision to lean on client resources for storage or compute. Distributed anything is almost always a bad idea if you can avoid it, especially when you involve your users in that picture.

> Playing by different rules does not allow one to defy the laws of mathematics.

OK, but the rules in the paper seem pretty arbitrary and unintuitive to me, so by picking different rules one is no longer defying anything. In particular the requirements for exceptionally perfectly detailed knowledge of the child seem designed to make the conclusion tautologically true, but also not very interesting, as far as I can tell. "If I define impossible requirements, [thing] is impossible". OK, that's... fine, I guess.

Allowing for "trust" between AGIs to overcome issues with their properly knowing one another's "truthfulness" but not allowing the same shortcut when it comes time to judge their knowledge of the child's "truthfulness" especially seems odd. I'm also not sure how all this perfect knowledge is justified before we allow that an AGI has created a superior AGI—it seems impossible for any system, biological or AGI, so I'm not sure what use the conclusion is. "Perfect play always results in cat, in tic-tac-toe, so you cannot win this game" well, that's nice but we're talking about poker...

People misuse and abuse JS all the dang time. Take Twitter: you follow a link to a tweet from somewhere else, but first thing you see as the page loads is not the tweet — it's everything but the tweet itself. There's a spinner instead of it, because rendering it server-side would've made too much sense, I guess. Gotta make an API request from the client and render it client-side just because that's so trendy.

In other words, there are too many websites that are made as "web apps" that should not be web apps.
Yeah, back in the day it was sneeringly called a "nanoprocessor" rather than a microprocessor by fans of the competition.

For a few years in the early 1980s I had a kit based on the 1802 with a whole 2 kB of RAM and a hexadecimal keypad. Fun times.
I tested content blockers on iOS.

Going to whatever random media site without it enabled is a couple mb per page load (the size of SNES roms.. for text!).

With content blockers enabled it was a couple kb per page load.

Three orders of magnitude difference in webpage size due to data harvesting...

Now, imagine how much infrastructure savings we would have if suddenly web browsing was even just 1 order less data usage. Would be fun to calculate the CO2 emission savings, ha.
C++ templates can indeed get crazy, but I miss them in every other language I use. For example, I recently wrote some code in which I needed to know whether or not a member existed in a class, at compile time. Turns out, there's a way to do that in C++ using templates and overload rules:

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/More_C++_Idioms/Member_Detecto...

Yes, conceptually it's a bit nuts, but the fact that you can do stuff like this makes it unlikely that you'll ever get completely stuck trying to implement something.

I personally love C++ because it's just a giant bag of tools, even if one of those tools is a footgun.

Only looked briefly at it. Combining the tiny Mini with a huge external GPU seems a bit off, and unfortunately, for all the size, they don't integrate any storage space.

Part of the difference is that Twitter has much lower revenue per user than the other two. If you frame the fine as "$X per user impacted" rather than as "y% of your revenue" then it seems more proportional.

Does the first method work if the battery is removed?

Could the non-removable battery "feature" of newer phones be a result of governments requiring the manufacturers to do this?
That's quite some hand-waving. If news organizations (like newspapers) give away their content for free, they lay off staff. We know this because we've seen it happen in newsrooms around the country as Craigslist dried up newspapers' primary source of revenue.

So this seems either false or completely irrelevant to the topic at hand: "I happen to believe that in most areas of creative work, and in most adjacent industries, giving more away for $0 online would improve outcomes for most players, overall."
The author is so very close to realizing that intellectual property is incoherent in the fact of information theory, and also that universal basic income is an essential component of a hyperwealthy neoliberal democracy.

> The cutoff switches were there for "when demons possess the control system and try to drive you into the ground."

For the second crash it wasn't about "hit the switch" at any moment you will when you notice the problem. It was: "unless you are lucky to hit the switch in a very special moment, you won't be able to regain the control of the plane at all." Not in the message, not trained, and even some pilots learned that only later in the reconstruction of the crash on the simulator.
Wikipedia's page of the largest non-nuclear explosions [1] was already updated and states "It generated a shock-waves equivalent to 13 tonnes TNT". Not sure who made this estimation and how, but various photos on that page can give you an idea what a large explosion looks like. For example take a look at the Yamato explosion [2]. Yamato was a 70000 ton Japanese battleship; the large explosion was due to its magazines being hit by bombs (this happened quite frequently when battleships were hit as they were fundamentally stacks and stacks of gun ammunition surrounded by a hull); it's likely that Yamato was carrying a few thousand tons of explosives, so that's how you get a few kt TNT non-nuclear explosion. Now in that photo you can see for reference another ship in the lower left. It looks quite puny. So, it appears to me the Yamato mushroom cloud was much, much bigger than today's mushroom cloud in Beirut.

Edit: The wikipedia page was updated and now states 1kt TNT.

My view of work is that you can be paid in 4 ways:

1. Paid in cash.

2. Paid in power.

3. Paid in social status.

4. Paid in deferred career benefit.

Because of the reach of content with the internet, the pay in categories 2 and 4 has gone up. It depends on what you do, but pay in category 3 may also have increased. Unsurprisingly the cash pay is going to decline.

In my own case, I write a fair bit. I gain career benefits. I gain contacts from Hacker News as I write under my own name. There are friends who find it cool that I am published on Stack Overflow. I have a regular software engineering job, so the money now is not a priority.

Eventually most content creation is just going to be supported by people doing other things to earn a living. Only deep investigative journalism would require someone to earn a full time living doing it.
I really can't tell what they're trying to say here.

I don't understand what this is even about? They didn't bother to get the original author's name right ("Nathan Robinson"), and they seem to be arguing with some strawman that every piece of creative output must be compensated? But there's no substance to that argument either, just a bald assertion that sometimes you don't get paid for things?

As an aside, why do you say that in Factorio solar panels are trickier than generators. To me it seems you can stick panels down infinitely and just make more power. Generators require coal trains, nuclear power, steam conversion, water lines and everything else? Or did you mean purely in construction from the start?

That's fine for many types of content, but do we really want world news and investigative journalism to be done exclusively by amateurs with no resources?

Advisors are also very much at fault, not just students.

The last year of my PhD I ended up being pretty much alone because my advisor had changed research topics a year before and therefore was not interested nor up to date, so any of her inputs were not very useful.

A couple friends of mine also struggled with their advisor because he actively avoided communication for some reason. I guess he had a personal or health issue.

So even on good faith, advisors can end up making students life quite stressful for one reason or another
The author is generally in favour of free content and argues that it is good for both the consumer (as there is no hassle) and the content creator as there are other avenues for earning money.
> After giving me more than one death threat, I finally quit and sued.

Threatening to kill you is probably another claim beyond failing to reasonably accommodate your medical condition. It may also be a criminal threat that a prosecutor would be interested in. I would think that would strengthen your case.

> Pro bono, of course, since I had no money.

> ... My lawyer was unbelievably startled by this, and immediately dropped the case after.

Depending on what type of pro bono attorney you had, that may have been reasonable. For free legal aid type attorneys, litigation is out of the scope of what they can help with.

What you probably wanted was a lawyer who would take the case on a contingent fee basis. That means that they don't get paid anything unless you win, but if you do win they take 30-40%. Many plaintiff-side personal injury and employment lawyers like to work contingency because if they're good at it they can make way more money than an attorney working for an hourly rate. It's often a good deal for the plaintiffs too because they may get 60-70% of a much larger settlement amount.

It sounds like you got some bad advice.

I'm an macOS/iOS developer and I was on a 2013 13" MacBook Pro that was on its last legs. I finally decided to just buy a current-gen replacement. I need this machine to do day to day work and it was just dog slow (and battery dying), so I didn't have too many options. I suppose I could've got a replacement battery installed, but not sure if all the perf issues I encountered would go away.

My reasoning was I need it now and I feel like I could still get a few years out of it (Apple will likely support it even while moving to ARM).
