I read the article, no need to be rude. The article is about maximizing memory throughput. It is not unusual to need multiple threads to actually saturate the memory controller(s). And in fact, RPCS3 uses several threads. So it is not clear that single-thread performance is the only significant factor, or that your unsubstantiated and context-free claim about Intel's single thread performance was relevant.

ECMerge seems to use standard wxToolBar which is definitely a native control, so I don't know why it has the same background on all the screenshots. Perhaps they've explicitly changed it to make them more similar, I really can't say. But if you create a toolbar out of the box, it will look exactly the same as in any other native application. As for the icons, wx does provide a limited set of stock icons, but this will almost never be enough, so you need to either get high quality icons in the style of each platform you support, which is obviously difficult for an open source/free program, or use the same, typically Linux-style, icons everywhere just because this is what is there, for free.

The rest of the controls (ribbon, tabs) are indeed non-native and there are no native equivalents for them, so there is not much to say here.

Generally speaking, there shouldn't be any problem with the colours unless you change them explicitly, which is a bad idea for the native controls. Not sure what is wrong with the padding and borders.
for a very long time (I don't use python as a daily driver, so not sure if it's still the case) guidance was to use `python -m pip` and if you tried to run `pip ...` it would explicitlytell you to run `python -m pip`. I regularly install python on clean systems and all of my scripts run `python -m pip`. Should I be changing?
Big picture, oxygen isn't being either produced or consumed. The level is constant.

Individual oxygen atoms alternate between being in CO₂ molecules and O₂ molecules, as plants grab the carbon to build their bodies and return it after death.

But since the total mass of plant life doesn't change much, it all evens out.

> 1986 USSR bureaucracy didn’t fail only for a lack of expertise either.

I think you're talking Chernobyl here, without actually saying Chernobyl. Again they were arguably pushing ideology over science -- in many ways to save cost. Then making any criticisms about safety state secrets so no one could know about them.

It's worth noting that Gorbachev believed that Chernobyl led to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, six years later.

> If anything, public misinformation being amplified in influence through social media affects expert based political will negatively insofar the topic is ripe for emotional biases, not lack of real experts.

True, but that cuts your argument. As it turns questions of science into ideological ones. If you're a farmer you can go to your local extension office, and ask questions about herbicide and fertilizers and planting schedules without government interference -- essentially expanding knowledge.

If Russia ran ads on FB that said the best time to plant corn was in November of the following year, there would be a lot of laughter.

There is no such thing as extension offices for nuclear science -- ergo making it even more ripe for the idea that you're talking about.

On the other hand, people trust vaccines less, and there has been a concerted effort to cause public distrust. Imagine what would happen if that happened to nuclear scientists. Worse, there would be only few people to make that argument against it. With vaccines there were lots of people that could, and still largely failed.
> These sorts of articles where they claim to have scientific evidence that UBI helps just feels sleezy and disingenuous.

Why? This article states what they did, and what the results were. Hardly sleazy, unless, of course you have a predefined axe to grind against UBI as the results certainly show no significant negative effect. Claimed "disincentives" are part of the anti-UBI talking points much like they were in the "oppose raising minimum wage" talking points. In both of these cases, the claimed negative effect has never appeared.

In addition, UBI seems to have an especial effect on families with children, and that should absolutely be followed up. It probably indicates that families with unemployed members are less likely to be there due to inherent issues like drug addiction and mental health and more likely to be there due to path dependence (teen pregnancy--for example).

For those of us who are pro-UBI, this is a welcome study but hardly definitive. In addition, since UBI experiments are always severely limited in scope in these trials, it may be more effective to target families to get the most benefit.

As always in these situations, I ask what experiment and evidence would you accept that UBI works? Being dismissive is different from being a skeptic. A skeptic also has an experiment and hypothesis that could disprove their position. If you don't have a position that can be disproven, you're just an annoying gadfly.
What's the issue with the original code snippet? This seems to be demonstrating the pitfalls of multiple inheritance which is super clunky in any language.
Another problem is that retiring boomers are keen on downsizing, and are flooding the market with used books, for which there is little demand.
This always seems like a Red Herring. In what way does is "disenfranchise poor people", the ID's are Free, most states the locations to obtain said ID are widely distributed and no harder to get to than a grocery store or any other store, and in the event there is an actual reason one could not get one then there are alternatives to the official ID that can be used

Seems to me the only disenfranchisement is people that can not legally vote in the first place
Additionally when you make something easy, people do it more than they would if it were annoying and manual. You might imagine that if you had to hand roll everything you'd be more cognizant of how many copy/pastes you did.
Can you expand on your comment. Why is this controversial? Is it because it’s in phase-3 vs approved or is it because there is hope but no concrete evidence that this treatment works?
A company is a single entity, but a bank is representing many entities, so I do think it matters which entity the bank was representing at that point in time.

If I overpaid a contractor by mistake, I don’t think that contractor should get to keep my money under the logic that somebody else who uses the same bank also owed that contractor money.
Sadly I don't know if that's possible in this day and age. Every single time there's an opportunity to harvest data it seems companies do it.
You need logistics (electricity, roads, water). It costs a lot. It's more efficient to utilize 3D rather than utilizing only 2D.

When we're talking about humans, I'd agree that living in a crowded city is a terrible thing (though some people might like it). But when we're talking about industrial objects, efficiency is important.
It relies on more assumptions than just that. It relies on the assumption that naturalism and materialism are true, and hence an afterlife is very unlikely (if not impossible).

You can reject naturalism and materialism without agreeing that God exists. Consider the late 19th / early 20th century British idealist philosopher John McTaggart Ellis McTaggart (who at Cambridge acted as the mentor of Bertrand Russell and G. E. Moore) – McTaggart insisted that God did not exist, that he knew God did not exist, that God's existence was impossible – but he also claimed that time and matter are illusions, and the true reality is timeless immortal souls and their eternal love for one another.

Conversely, it is possible to believe in God without an afterlife. The ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus denied an afterlife, but he did not deny the Gods of ancient Greek polytheism. (Probably, if he had lived in a more monotheistic culture, he would have dropped the plural.)

The ancient Jewish Sadducees, who controlled the office of High Priest up until the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, they rejected the Pharisees' belief in resurrection of the dead. (The Pharisees are the historical progenitors of contemporary Judaism; and, while Christianity conflicted with the Pharisees a lot, witness how much they are criticised in the Gospels, one can't deny that Christianity took a lot from them, including the belief in a future resurrection of the dead). It isn't entirely clear what exactly the Sadducees believed about the afterlife, but certainly by some accounts they believed that death was extinction. (Part of it depends on whether they understood "Sheol", the grave, to simply be a symbol for extinction, or an actual place where the dead are conscious.)
I mean collections of songs (ie playlists) are themselves copyrightable. Even if they have the songs licenced, they cannot copy playlists from Spotify without risking legal action.

See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_in_compilation

Spotify actually got sued after some users uploaded playlists that copied ministry of sound playlists, so there is some history of actual litigation in this area.
Personally, I probably wouldn't, but if you wanted to know about the air quality at your home this would be one way to do it.
It's missing a super().__init__() call. This code would've worked fine had that line been there.

You would not encounter this issue in e.g. C++. It's strictly due to Python's idiosyncratic linearization of the inheritance hierarchy, which can make your sibling class (which you have no knowledge of) your superclass. (!!)
I think that's one of the main reasons that this use case hasn't taken off. Who is going to invest resources into a 'financial commons' platform that no one owns and the creator can't make a profit off of? Why would government allow a platform that they have no control over to manage such a critical part of our country's infrastructure? Control seems like a necessary feature for anything so critical

All of that is seen through the filter of the media. They have a story that they want to sell. They need to grab eyeballs. They are also political, and so they want to push what helps advance their own political goals, even if it tears the country apart.

Specifically, every one of these is subject to selection bias:

"nearly always white"
"unnecessarily violent tactics"
"nearly always Black"

You won't see a news report when the tactics are peaceful, when a black cop is involved, or when the supposed victim is non-black. Nobody is going to riot over that, so why report it? It goes unseen by you, so you get the wrong impression about reality.

A different sort of bias comes into play with word choice, using "victims" to refer to people who typically are violent criminals being apprehended. The word ought to be "perpetrators", "suspects", or simply "criminals".
Generation of power at the point of consumption is nothing to sneeze at. It’s also efficient use of space. Taxes can work as incentivizing tool instead of or in addition to generating revenue for the government which is precisely what’s going on here.
The other thing about Stalinism is that you could be imprisoned or executed for incompetence. You would be accused of being a saboteur. That would be like if capitalism made incompetence at your job a criminal offense.
Well, we’re at 800k “official” numbers, but when looking at excess deaths for countries with data available vs official numbers nearly all are undercounting the COVID deaths, or at least were at some point. There can be many reasons for this, such as the testing capacity at the beginning of the outbreak but I would definitely say we are over 1 Million.
I've a few friends who did get the call, eventually. They got their computers back broken.
There is no risk in blood plasma treatment. The FDA did an analysis of 20,000 patients who received the treatment, out of 70,000 total. If it does not end up helping people it's much ado about nothing. There is no reason for the FDA to get in the way of a potentially helpful treatment with essentially zero risk. 180,000 Americans have died, let us try anything that we can.
I'd rather disagree about Qt/QML. It is fast.

What people initially miss about UI libraries is composition features. Which are over the top for QML and not so to put is softly for Sciter.
All of these things are true. But they need to be of sufficient magnitude over simple, zero knowledge about user recommendations to warrant ongoing cost.

For the space I was in, recommending hotels, the incremental value of the use behavior was minimal.

On the other hand, getting the zero knowledge version working really well was worth an extra 11.6%.
> Without emails as the keys to the kingdom, what would you use?

From Ursula K. LeGuin's indispensable "Dispossessed":

“You're really much too polite for ...”

“For what?”

“For an anarchist,” she said, in her thin and affectedly drawling voice (it was the same intonation Pae used, and Oiie when he was at the University). “I'm disappointed. I thought you'd be dangerous and uncouth.”

“I am.”

She glanced up at him sidelong. She wore a scarlet shawl tied over her head; her eyes looked black and bright against the vivid color and the whiteness of snow all around.

“But here you are tamely walking me to the station, Dr. Shevek.”

“Shevek,” he said mildly. “No `doctor.'”

“Is that your whole name — first and last?”

He nodded, smiling. He felt well and vigorous, pleased by the bright air, the warmth of the well-made coat he wore, the prettiness of the woman beside him. No worries or heavy thoughts had hold on him today.

“Is it true that you get your names from a computer?”

“Yes.”

“How dreary, to be named by a machine!”

“Why dreary?”

“It's so mechanical, so impersonal.”

“But what is more personal than a name no other living person bears?”

“No one else? You're the only Shevek?”

“While I live. There were others, before me.”

“Relatives, you mean?”

“We don't count relatives much; we are all relatives, you see. I don't know who they were, except for one, in the early years of the Settlement. She designed a kind of bearing they use in heavy machines, they still call it a `shevek.'” He smiled again, more broadly. “There is a good immortality!”

Vea shook her head. “Good Lord!” she said. “How do you tell men from women?”

“Well, we have discovered methods...”

...

The five- and six-letter names issued by the central registry computer, being unique to each living individual, took the place of the numbers which a computer-using society must otherwise attach to its members. An Anarresti needed no identification but his name. The name therefore, was felt to be an important part of the self, though one no more chose it than one's nose or height.

The original code snippet had no bugs until you added more code, stop arguing in bad faith.

Also, the new snippet has a syntax error, the last version where this was valid reached end of life January 1st, and has been deprecated for 10 years prior to that. Not sure how much stock to put in your python opinions given that context.
My understanding is Signed Exchanges only solve "I want to allow another server to handle requests for my HTTPS server" and not "I want to guarantee the integrity of content coming from my HTTPS server". Did they expand the spec to somehow address the latter?

It does lead to intelligence and knowledge of the world. It leads to somewhat similar understanding of the world as our understanding of 4D, quantum mechanics or environment close to a black hole. Pretty bad one, mostly based on repeating whatever we have read about in popular science literature without any intuitive understanding. GPT-3 understanding of physical world is similarly bad. It's just simply a modality not available to the model.

But GPT-3 is able to do few-shots learning. If you show it couple of times how to do something it will try to repeat after you showing some rudimentary understanding of what you are trying to do. It's even able to learn to do simple analogies [0].

GPT-3 is able to do very, very simple arthritics like addition and subtractions with 2-3 numbers. Actually even a lot smaller models trained on arthritics are able to do impressive feats like symbolic integration and solving differential equations.

> Deep Learning for Symbolic Mathematics [1]: Neural networks have a reputation for being better at solving statistical or approximate problems than at performing calculations or working with symbolic data. In this paper, we show that they can be surprisingly good at more elaborated tasks in mathematics, such as symbolic integration and solving differential equations. We propose a syntax for representing mathematical problems, and methods for generating large datasets that can be used to train sequence-to-sequence models. We achieve results that outperform commercial Computer Algebra Systems such as Matlab or Mathematica.

What is true is that GPT-3 is not very good at following instructions. It would not be able to execute an algorithm. So, it would not learn arithmetic from instructions if you would not include explicit examples.

Could we please just fix native software development, so it doesn't suck, rather than adding the kitchen sink to web browsers?

Web pages and JavaScript are the only universally trusted medium for sharing information and simple software. Making it possible for news websites to touch ethernet/usb/serial/gpu compromises that. Same goes for optimizations ilke JIT'ing and WebAssembly which have certainly done a great job making it possible for Gawker to reprogram the microcode in AMD K8 CPUs. Has the long tail of browser innovations made the web go faster? No. It went faster in 2010 IMHO. Whatever performance glut the geniuses who work on Chrome end up creating, it'll just get gobbled by more aggressive display ads and things like wild-eyed web component frameworks.

As an exercise, I used Bash to build scraping and download scripts for about a dozen websites. I found that I only needed to dip into Python when doing complicated operations on strings, or I needed access to data structures.

I actually liked the approach of using Bash first for scraping, because it gave me direct access to Bash's superior IPC and concurrency constructs. I could plug in a Python script into the pipeline and it wouldn't be any different than interacting with another Bash process.
It seems from the link that the kernel developers would rather have one patch per new file plus a patch that does the integration, instead of one big patch with everything. That's a bit unconventional, perhaps because they tend to use git alone instead of higher-level software that would help them break down a big single commit; but whatever they're doing clearly works for them.

The entire dispute seems to be that minor question of style, nothing substantive. I don't think anyone's specially unhappy on either side. The controversy seems manufactured, perhaps by a reporter who noticed the gruff language but lacked the technical knowledge to understand what's actually going on.

Most people developing free software (probably including both the submitters and recipients of this patch) could make a lot more money elsewhere, but have chosen to instead to do work with considerable public benefit. That's thankless enough already without some reporter inventing drama for clicks.
A second opinion from whom? Another doctor.
The 75% figure is from solar and wind alone. The balance can come from any combination of nuclear, other renewables, and fossil fuels. It doesn't mean 25% electricity supplied by fossil fuels.

You consider France's electricity sector a decarbonization success story, right? It generates "only" 72% of electricity from nuclear power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_France

The United States also gets 7% of its electricity from hydro and geothermal:

https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=427&t=3

Plus 19.7% from existing American reactors, though that number is going to drift downward as retirements continue to outpace construction.

I think that the residual fossil demand would be significantly less than 25%. I can't say how much exactly. That needs another study. In the absence of storage, neither nuclear nor geothermal plants are good at supplying peak demands. Hydro can serve a peaking role to some extent even without building new pumped storage but it's constrained by reservoir volumes, minimum downstream flow rates, seasonal snow melt, etc.
