Thanks for checking us out! Co-founder here, happy to answer any questions. There is so much to do in this space, but we’re excited to be getting started.

No engineer wakes up in the morning excited to sync data to Marketo, so we started there - `npm install` and so you can get back to building the core product. We make data self-serve for your non-technical colleagues and we handle all the exhausting integration stuff you don’t want to think about (API nuances, rate limiting, retrying, batching, etc).
> oil rich nations can just locally use and trade their energy

Sure, but the point is that local demand wouldn't be anywhere near the demand of the global market currently
> It takes about 80 watts to heat up a liter of water 1° celsius.

1 calorie is by definition the energy requires to heat 1 gram of water 1°C. In practice 1ml.

So ~1kcal to heat 1 liter of water 1°C

1 kcal is ~1.163 watt-hours.

Thank you. Which devices support active partial configuration? I have not encountered any mention of it, before. The "Three Ages of FPGAs" paper in IEEE has "reconfiguration" in the title of a single reference, and no mention in the text.

It seems to be based on avoiding cargo cult learning, so you need to learn everything from "first principles" (hi N-GATE!).

So Linux would probably require computer organization and operating system theory mastery, and from thence you get to Linux's specific implementation(s).

Learning is clearing a fairly complex DAG, and it would be nice to have a good understanding of theoretical mastery prerequisites and the next concepts a mastery step enables at a good granularity, but basically wikipedia links between articles seems to be as good an (open source) map that I've seen.
> find them mostly a waste of time

They are, and it's specifically because the format never allows (or, perhaps more importantly, never _requires_) the participants to get into real detail about anything ever. It's all just talking points. The opposition never has the chance to actually ask questions that might potentially lead to a situation where someone has to say, "gee, I hadn't thought about that, that's a good point, it will take some careful consideration".

Given the format the only game-theoretical move that makes sense is to employ Arthur Finkelstein style tactics and simply attack the other person, get people scared of them and the world they'll perhaps create, and/or demoralize people that might have voted for them and get them to stay home instead.

This needs to change. Why can't the debate be a day-long event, where they sit down and have serious conversations, not rhetoric but a real dialectic with one another?

I suspect it would reveal a tremendous lack of depth and understanding on _both_ sides. Any cognitive decline, any lack of awareness about world issues, etc. would be exposed immediately. That would pop the bubble, for sure.
Laws for Hackers to Live by (Transcript)
Family of 3, on 56 acres. The breakdown is as follows: 10 acres for pasture, 9 acres for vegetable/grain production, 30 acres of timber, 2 acres of pond, 5 acres of grass/brush/fallow ground at any one time.

We could support 9-12 people on this amount of ground, if I had to guess, and if we had to. I like to have a lot of woods/timber for hunting and trapping as a hobby. The gardens produce WAY more than enough for our needs - but storage is an issue. Not everything lends itself to drying, canning, or pickling. So you learn to eat when the food is there and pack on pounds for when it's not. This time of year, I'm 5-10 pounds overweight; in March, right before spring, I'll be well under my regular weight.

Not sure about the long-term effects of that. . . .

We practice steady rotation of crops, and do square foot practices instead of traditional row crops. The time spent is minimal, once it's up and running. I can't even begin to imagine the thousands of hours we spent setting everything up, though. We've lived out there for almost 2 decades now, and are JUST getting to the point where it works.
Reasons being?
This seems to confuse Power with Energy. Watts measure Power, which is a rate of Energy.

The specific heat of water is 4182 Joules/kg and its density is close to 1kg/litre, so 4.128 kJ (Energy) will be required to heat 1 litre of water by 1 degree C.

The temperature rise of the oceans will be complicated to work out. Taking the OPs figures, 4.16x10^14 watts / 1.3x10^21 litres gives 3.2x10^-7 watts per litre of ocean, ie 0.32 microJoules of energy added to the oceans every second. The temperature rise of the oceans will depend on how quickly it can dissipate this heat. What are relevant the heat loss mechanisms? Evaporation just moves the problem to the atmosphere. Conduction just moves it elsewhere on earth. Radiation will shift some of it to space (and some reflected back to the earth), but radiation is a property of the surface of the ocean, not of the bulk.
You linked the wrong thread.

Exactly. I have been in meetings, where if I was late by responding by even a couple of seconds, some exec will jump on and egg me to respond. 99.9% of people don't have the luxury of awkward silence
Normally if you're networking with people who just want to be around attractive people, it's probably a token relationship with someone who doesn't have any real power
Thank you. I was wondering if we could continue the conversation via email? My email should be in my profile. No worries if you don't have time. Mine is limited as well. I just feel that there's a lot history being lost when we don't record any history from engineers who weren't project heads or the original creator. In Minitel's case, it feels worse because it was hard to find information on Bernard Marti, at least in English. I also get this sick feeling knowing that many of the 20th century's engineers have been dying and much of that history is lost forever.
I believe the GP's point is that even with a 10,000x increase in data center energy consumption, the effect on ocean temperature is tiny.
Doubtful it will have much impact. I don't buy the central premise of the film - social media is so addictive and people are easily manipulated by it - through the power of 'genius' algorithms that work against vast stores of data. There is no mention of freewill .. are we really so easily controlled? If this technology was so powerful and able to manipulate people - how are we not using it to end racism, effect climate change, teach basic math skills, fight obesity, etc. The reason is that the technology isn't that good - and at it's best it suggests things that appeal to our base nature. It doesn't control us or even come close. Also the fucking hubris of these people to think they really had that big of an impact is a bit much. Free will and human nature are real things and social media isn't that powerful. Also with free will comes personal responsibility - this film seems to suggest that we are such sad victims and the problem isn't us but the powers that be. I'm so weak that I can't help myself - so it must be social media's fault. Give me a break.
Considering how the Woodward interviews turned out, I think I'd also like to hear this.
It might be useful if you say what you're trying to become an expert in. Ask a vague question, get a vague answer.

> always come out frustrated

You can't stop there.

Yes, a lot of expert knowledge is locked up in the heads of experts. It is very hard (if not impossible) to write down all the implicit and explicit knowledge that experts have, so it doesn't always happen. It's very hard to become an expert alone. I think this also says something about the nature of expertise: it is something that is constructed by experts themselves in their minds. There was a story that a famous mathematician would tell is grad students, holding up an important book, "You should know everything in this book ... but don't read it!"
My point is that it’s easy to make an argument about this aspect of SM than to talk about the money, trace it, and pinpoint blame. Nowadays, there is plenty of evidence available about the psychological effects/harm of social media. So it’s easy/harmless to fund this kind of exposition than anything that talks about the finance side.
One attack I personally had was when I had an android tablet and a client who has business in China asked me to put a promotional video on some Chinese version of youtube. So I thought I found the app in Play store, but once opened it asked me something in chinese, so just thinking this is obligatory privacy agreement or something, I click okay. Instead it started downloading an update, and rebooted. After my tablet was malware ridden and unable to be recovered, because older version of Android.

I learned that a lot of apps behave differently if they find a different language keyboard. I don’t know if this attack is still possible in Android, it’s been some years now.
Most IIT professors have PHDs at US top 20 universities. Most sub-elite professors are teaching because they couldn't find a job in CS and have never published a paper in their lives.

What does that have to do with the quality of teaching? I feel like you might be falling into the trap of equating "quality" with "eliteness".

It is entirely unfair that the state of a person from age 15-18 leads to an opportunity gap that's this massive.

Agreed, with respect to the US. We would all be better off if, instead of a perfectly scheduled ladder from age 5 to 25 of school, university, and career, it was normal to have a wide range of ages in all university programs, at all tiers. You should be able to decide at 28 or 38 or 58 that it's time to take the qualifying test and be admitted to a prestigious school.
While it does take considerable effort to set it up in the beginning, maintenance later on, at least in my case, is next to nothing. Updates happen via single click from the Admin UI and only happen when you invoke them, at your convenience.

For security it does allow 2 factor auth and the admin account has all the tools to manage users and query what they have shared.

While it's not an enterprise solution... but for their use case, and with the amount of features it offers, i think it's something worth considering even with the non trivial initial setup tax.
I think you're underestimating the power of algorithmic manipulation.

Take a simple ecommerce AB test as a starting point. Should our shopping cart look like A or B? Apply Bayes theorem and it doesn't take that long to gather evidence that A increases conversions by 1%.

Now replace the simple AB test with a multi armed bandit.

Now run the multi armed bandit continuously across all social media platforms and keep tweaking to maximize sentiment in your favor.

That's even without applying data science to the social network graph.

The "fundamental problem" that you lay out is definitely related. The "fundamental problem" is that we are so susceptible to such algorithmic manipulation.
People will be able to smell the bullshit. The idea that climate change will be apocalyptic (for first world nations) in your grandchildren's time frame is just as loony-toons as denying it exists at all. The scientific consensus is nowhere near that bad.
Probably the large majority.

Drax alone has a biomass capacity of 2.6GW, which is more than the 1.7GW currently coming from biomass (see https://gridwatch.templar.co.uk/).
The regulatory capture is the key bit.
If you have any doubt as to whether you are in the legitimate Facebook application or not, return to the home screen and open Facebook from the icon on your home screen.

Bu really, the tip-off is the login prompt. Unless it’s the first time using the Facebook application on this device, you would normally be already logged in and it shouldn’t be prompting you to log in to Facebook.
The disproportionate share of paradigm-shift innovation coming directly or indirectly from the government is a testament to that fact.
Wonder why this post is being downvoted
24 hours later, I woke up to this news: https://www.wired.com/story/dr-phosphine-and-the-possibility...

This ‘feels’ like my dream last night. It was so vivid that I had to record it and posted it on various forums because I was afraid I might lose details of the dream. Or maybe not trust my own memory of the dream.

Alien life from other planets..like Venus...may not resemble carbon based lifeforms as know it. Perhaps aliens already walk amongst us...not like the ones movies and books have portrayed but as microscopic sentient forms of energy. Perhaps they are already part of us.

I am unsure how to process and separate my dream reality from my perception of real life. It’s trippy and crazy making, but it also makes me feel good.

Pinning this here to record this moment and posting this everywhere I am online because I am afraid I might not believe myself in a few years.

How do we know oxygen is not a life form or our blood cells? Perhaps viruses are aliens from space. I am curious to see how far I can keep pushing this idea and justify it with existing science and logic?
You couldn’t believe that lenders have a system that helps them classify borrowers into different risk pools? Why is that hard to believe.

You consented to have your data reported to the credit reporting agencies when you applied for credit. You may not have been aware of it, but you did.
That is true and could be a way for anthropogenic panspermia to occur. My totally uneducated gut feeling is that the chemists and geologists are going to get more out of this finding than the biologists though. Theres a lot of cool rocks and an atmosphere full of SO2 (a pretty decent reducing agent) on venus - and abiogenic phosphenes are found in other parts of the solar system. Some chemical reaction with perhaps some recently expelled volcanic ash (there was recent evidence that it might still have active volcanic activity right?) seems more plausible than life, but hey, thats why we have experiments to see if the unlikely is true after all!
I recently pulled out an old 2008 unibody Macbook pro just to play around on. It was a nearly %100 CPU utilization just attempting to play a 4K youtube video. That's something my $400 phone doesn't even break a sweat on. It's amazing how well cell phones have been optimized in the last decade.
It is true that our service is more expensive.

If you look at the pricing on that rclone page[1] you'll see that at quantity it is as low as 0.5 Cents Per GB / Month.

As for bandwidth intensive protocols, we have HPN-SSH[2] patches built into our environment which allow for high bandwidth transfers, over SSH, over long WAN links.

I'm surprised that it doesn't go forward any. East Africa is on the move, and the Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas are getting walled off.
Get a job where honesty is valued - because you are obviously an honest person.
That doesn’t sound really enticing! Chokeberries. Is it weird if I am getting curious about the taste now?
Very shitty attitude from Paypal.
Because they shipped their industrial base overseas where they have much lax environmental regulations than in britain. Unless britain's quality of life sunk to 1890 level, their real contribution is far higher than 1890. After all britain's consumption has increased significantly ( on a per capita basis ) and their population has risen significantly since 1890.

So an honest article would say britain's CO2 emissions has risen significantly since 1890. But it's probably just paid PR study with an agenda like almost all of climate related news is.

Another PR on the frontpage.

I don't use the app either, so I don't know the specifics, but I assume it has similar data collection to something like Instagram, so using that as my mental model I can think of a few things:

- I'm sure it collecting location data. In the past people have used data from apps like Strava to actually trace and map the layouts of military bases, so I'm sure you could do something similar.

- I believe the app has messaging as well which could contain private or sensitive data

- In that same vein, I know plenty of people who send things through snapchat and instagram that they definitely shouldn't (think military members taking pictures on base where they shouldn't to try and impress people or devs taking pictures in meetings with sensitive data in the background)

- You could use the app to sow discontent or push propaganda by showing or hiding certain content to certain locations or social groups

- You might (BIG MAYBE) be able to track certain high profile through the location data of their friends or family or running facial recognition on all videos

Some of the things I listed may not be feasible and I'm sure there are things you could do with the data is not listed. The things I listed aren't meant to be concrete examples that I'm saying we should worry about, but rather examples of ways that the data they have can be used in unexpected ways.
Scientists Find a Possible Sign of Life on Venus
I have a detailed set of instructions to follow when I'm upgrading my home server, plus notes from each time I've upgraded it.

At this point, I've only got two services (postgresql and mosquitto) which run on bare metal, everything else is in VMs. Once I move those off of FreeBSD the upgrade process will be greatly simplified (well, as simplified as FreeBSD gets anyway).
Are the AMX instructions available in EL0?

Is it possible AMX is implemented with the implementation-defined system registers and aliases of SYS/SYSL in the encoding space reserved for implementation-defined system instructions? Do you have the encodings for the AMX instructions?
The premise of being against the injustices present in China seems innocuous enough, but it absolutely calls in to question the objectivity of this study.

That being said, if you're against injustice and corrupt government, and you have Steven Bannon speak at one of your gatherings...

It calls everything about your organization into question...
I think there's value to having base separate from pkg, too. The way we ran FreeBSD at the two companies I worked where it was used heavily was to manage base and other things separately.

For base updates, we'd usually shut down services, install kernel and userland, and reboot --- I know this isn't the proper order, but most of the time the new userland is compatible enough to reboot (and you can usually power cycle if that doesn't work out). For updates where rebooting would be hard this way, we'd do it the right way, but then you need to add an extra reboot after installing userland, or restart all the services from base. If needed, we'd install the compat packages after the reboot. We would not update ports/pkg/etc at the same time; old binaries are expected to continue to work on a new system (and generally do). In house binaries are either compiled on the system they run, or centrally on a machine (or chroot/jail) running the oldest release on the fleet.

Generally,

When you need to upgrade software not from base, because of security updates or new features or ennui, you do that isolated from base changes. The only complication here is if you haven't updated base recently enough, pkg may provide binaries you can't run, and ports may provide software you can't compile (this one takes longer).

We would generally only update base for exceptional releases, or when it became hard to update non-base software on older releases. However, new machine installs would get the most recent release we had tested.
Nvidia will certainly try to get as much money out of ARM's R&D capabilities, existing IP, and future roadmap as they can. They will get their money's worth - at worst they will fail trying. In that sense, they won't destroy "ARM the company" or "ARM the IP". But Nvidia will have no interest in maintaining ARM's business model whereby ARM fosters a community of Nvidia competitors - they have an interest to the opposite. Therefore they very likely will destroy "ARM the ecosystem".
Thank you very much, and we will. One of the things we wanna start doing more is to distract him if stimming. Perhaps with reading, or playing "foot ball" or hide-n-seek. And to cut out TV/phone entirely - although he learnt most of his reading from videos.
> What will the cultural impact of this movie be?

A few months back a bunch of big Facebook advertisers (nike, etc..) pulled back some of their ad spend to punish Facebook over their stance on certain cultural issues. What happened to Facebook? Nothing... Revenues actually went up...

Facebook is an incredible tool and platform. No platform (none amongst the FANGs) has the same capabilities of tailoring your internet experience like Facebook does. As an advertiser, this is incredibly powerful: being able to put a targeted tailored ad in front of exactly the demographic you want. No other platform even comes close.

The cultural impact will be zero. The dollars speak for themselves. FB users keep using the platform and advertisers will keep chasing them on it.

The only way to put this in check is for government to step in and put in a comprehensive set of laws and rules that governs how your data is shared. A market-driven response to Facebook's insidiousness will not happen by itself. Government needs to nudge it forward with a thoughtful set of policies that promotes competition and makes these big companies liable for the false information they promote.
The details are in the article (at least now).
How to Interpret the Phosphine Discovery on Venus
The list seems pretty off. It lists the creatine makes vegetarians smarter in cog sci and psychology. The article that question links to kills the idea in the headline.

Sentience of animals and non-humans comes up a lot. Which looks less important than a lot of other areas of research, fusion, physics, ect.
yeah, it's a hell of a lot easier to go after individuals for taxes when most FANG companies are "headquartered" in the tax-haven de-jour.
Oh, yeah Xenix 2.0, everything old is new again.
