I've heard the same, although it was only with one person I know. I was talking to my friend about Ramadan and how I thought it was a really healthy behavior. She laughed and told me that a lot of people eat garbage (her word, not mine - a lot of fatty and fried foods) and she had to take the initiative to eat healthier stuff during Ramadan.

Still, it definitely gives you the opportunity to reset every year.
If it is in fact a CPU designed to be used like a GPU, that’d be very akin to Intel’s (dead) Project Larabee.[0] As I understand it, it was supposed to be a GPGPU[a] that internally was just an x86-64 processor with massive vector units. So, in theory, one could offload practically an entire game onto a Larabee card (save for IO probably) and do computations there. Compare that to a GPU where computations must be sent back and forth between the CPU and GPU.

Linus Sebastion (of LinusTechTips) managed to get his hands on one and made a video on it.[1] It’s been a while since I’ve seen the video, but, IIRC, they weren’t able to get it to work, so the video was a bit of a letdown.

Interesting argument. Worth keeping in mind that Bloomberg spent over half a Billion dollars to win American Samoa. People seem to give advertising undue credit (like with the Russian election influence idea). Advertising can only burnish your product, not change the story entirely. And perhaps, there's a case to be made that the ad itself is a product designed to make you feel better by being part of tribe of consumers. If the argument is that this is unduly influential, then you'd have to start by banning religious evangelism
This isn't a scientific research paper; it's propaganda masequerading as a science paper. I know it's hard to tell the difference, especially if the authors were skilled.

Furnace filters are not designed to filter as much, or else they would need changing too often and put too much pressure on the furnace motors when people forget, which is a hazard in its own right.

I don't have any specific knowledge of the ARM sale but I've seen other mergers.

Clearly, if a buyer is willing to pay a premium for shares, it's because they believe the company is worth that premium. If the shareholders were optimistic, they might consider that as a signal of the company's underlying value and choose not to sell.

Sometimes activist shareholders will pressure a company to sell, like in the case of the Whole Foods sale to Amazon. Jana Partners owned ~8% and they motivated Whole Foods to look for buyers. They dumped their shares after the sale was announced and before it was executed. Whether that was the best for the other 92% of shareholders, the company's employees, and its customers is another question entirely.

My question is really outside of that. There will always be banks, investors, and companies that are motivated to consolidate and integrate companies to be increasingly competitive to the point of being anti-competitive. What is the counter force that helps maintain moderately sized companies that are profitable on their own?
But then he also writes that "sizeof(void) is illegal".

As a long-time FT subscriber (over a decade, with my own money), I believe this is no longer true. They have become very woke over the past few years and are extremely selective in their political reporting and the slant they put on things. It’s no longer possible to pay only for the FT and end up fully and accurately informed, except in pure markets or finance topics. For anything political you may as well be reading the Guardian, which is free.
This is simply untrue, and I have just verified this by plugging the cable that was plugged into my charger into a USB-C device and verifying it appears on the bus.
woow, other comment recommending fifteen day fast is a) dangerous and b) doesn't answer your question??

i fast twice per week for ~30 hours and drink copious amounts of tea and coffee. but intermittent fasting also works, the really important information is that ketosis can begin after as little as 12 hours, so basically fast for a minimum 14 hours if you want any effect at all, and everything after that is bonus. no extras in your coffees btw, though a splash of milk / coconut oil in your breakfast coffee is acceptable :)

One thing I’ve never ever understood about crypto mining is: why it can’t do something productive with all the CPU cycles, instead of just finding inputs to hash functions such that they give round-number outputs? Like running quantum chemistry simulations to find new superconductors or treatments for illnesses? It’s not like cloud computing is a zero-cost resource, and things like SETI@home predate Bitcoin.

An impact driver could probably handle it fine, but I can't imagine the hammering action would be good for the mechanism.

Physically I would be able to use a hand crank just fine, but if it's anything like reclining the seat in my Volkswagen (a 3" knob on the seatback hinge, rather than the typical lever), I'd hate to do it more than once a day. If it's not convenient to use, I would likely just leave it in the down position permanently out of laziness. I really like the idea of a motorized adjustable desk with one-touch memory buttons, but the cost and usual implementation is not to my liking.

When you are living history, you don’t know that ww2 is around the corner. I think the observations of the similarities between the brown shirts and violent protesters is correct. I don’t know if a better historical parallel. Look what happened to Aaron Danielson.

Brown shirts engaged in antagonism and murder towards people they perceived as evil in the same way these Antifa types do.

They terrorized businesses the same way these BLM types have been doing.

I do not understand the perspective of people who don’t have a regexp that fires on this- I want to be wrong, but I can’t stop seeing problems.

I don't understand how these parallels can be so easily dismissed. Is it because you don’t expect it to end in a Holocaust?

We don't know, and we may never. But we do know it's not a fair fight. The amount of psychologists and scientists Facebook actively employs is absolutely staggering [0]. The most educated person in a western country, with expendable income, hobbies, and endless sources of pleasure stands no chance. Someone in Ethiopia who is actually feeling the stresses of conflict and poverty?

This isn't some accidental outcome of Facebook. Every data point suggests Facebook designed their system from the ground up to maximize it.

Both those links describe audio processing on a GPU. Neither of them address (from a quick skim) the roundtrip issue that occurs when doing low latency realtime audio.
It is very much not true, and you seem to be confused by the various cables and connectors that are available. The only device which uses USB-C and previously used Lightning is the iPad Pro.
Well, history surely have a lot of good tools to cross information by now, meanwhile historians are still human beings happening in some specific socio-cultural frame. If you rely on someone else analysis – which is reasonable – being aware of the person profile is as important as the impact of the work on shaping society representations.

A better solution is to just have a different physical connector so it's obvious at a glance if you have the correct cables. But that: involves carrying another cable, and kind of defeats the purpose of a unifying connector.

Your units are wonky. I'll assume you mean 1-2 kW, a unit of power output. kW/h would be a rate of increase of power (e.g. "The generator is producing 500 kW now, and can safely ramp up at a rate of 100 kW/h.")

Each time I hit that point I get the clarity and energy, and remember that it happens each time. Pretty interesting. So much energy I can't sleep and end up eating when I can't sleep which breaks the fast.

I am only 5kgs over weight at this point if that is relevant for anyone.
You could create steps so to speak. So across the river there would be bubble lines that are only 20% or so of the span. Then the plastic would step down until it reaches the other side and fish could swim around the bubble lines.

This sounds like the cornerstone of Trump's trade policy. "Give me what I want, or I will end all trade between us."

I don't see it as much as Nvidia trying to strangle the competition that licenses ARM as much as I see it Nvidia having full control over the development of the architecture. This would enable them to own full solutions in their AI part of the business and tailor the architecture to their very specific needs.

Buying ARM not only allows them to control the direction of development, it also protects them should anyone else have bought it with hostile intent.

Personally I see this as more of an attack on Intel.
Think of it as something which must be done, for your own good. Take one step of a time, and with in sometime you'll look back and see how far you have traveled.

This is the successor to http://instantclick.io for those who recall that library.

Some things to note:

- at it's core, this is using PREFETCH

- Safari at the moment doesn't support link prefetching, so this library doesn't work for Safari

- yes, it works on mobile and arguably people see even better results on mobile due to inconsistent network/latency of mobile networks.

If this turns out to be true, then the practice through the centuries, of a "Religious Pilgrimage" might be effective too. Walking all day, with little food, would put someone in a calorie deficit, combined the stress of extraneous exercise might trigger cell death in cancer cells.

I block all ads everywhere. I'm not opposed to paying for services I really need, but so far I've found nothing I couldn't do without.

We've really gone full-circle if I have to prepend reddit or stackexchange to get something that's not crap. Be it a question about daily life, or a product review, or a tech related thing.

If I understand correctly, one reason there seem to be so many results for zero-sum games is that they have defined solutions, whereas in other situations, a mathematically valid strategy is to be a jerk ("blow up the island") and attempt to take the lion's share[1] of the surplus for oneself.

One of the early game theory papers considers two people with radios, parachuted onto a grid, who must rendezvous. It derives a theoretical strategy: broadcast one's location, then destroy one's radio, forcing the other player to do all the walking.

CAD is operated based on constraint, e.g. make a square box and say "I want this to be 30mm x 45mm with this point, add a fillet (rounded corner) then make it coincident with this point" and let the software figure out how to shape/position the object. While Blender is more of a free-hand drawing, e.g. make a square box, make it certain size, make a corner rounded, then move it to the a certain point.

Blender has ability to do simple constraint, but it's not its primary uses. FreeCAD can also be used the Blender way but the software will warn about being under-constraint. Both FreeCAD and Blender can export to STL file (used by CAD softwares), but Blender's STL usually need to be scaled to real world measurements. In case of 3D printing, this STL file can be imported into a slicer software such as PrusaSlicer, which outputs GCode to control the printer (e.g. X, Y, Z coordinates, extrusion temperature, etc.)
SEC Form 8-K: Opendoor going public through Social Capital SPAC $IPOB
"Today, consumers can get more product information by reading "add to cart" pages on Amazon, or online product reviews on any number of platforms, than they can get from viewing advertisements on bill-boards or television, or through the advertising links placed by Facebook in its feeds and Google at points all across the web."

This creates its own set of problems. Companies looking to sell directly to consumers through their own website lose a powerful way of promoting their product to consumers giving entrenched retailers more power and more control over what is sold to consumers.

Does Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc. not promote certain types of products over other, either subtly or overtly? What constitutes advertising?

I don't think anyone likes misleading or intrusive advertising, but to say that advertising is obsolete is either incredibly naive or put forth in intellectual bad faith.
Automating Focus Through Rest
Prescribed burning is usually done outside of the peak season (often in the later Autumn) just so it is more controllable and less intense.

It's amazing how fires can differ. Many "good" fires just essentially smolder for months, growing very slowly until the autumn precip douses them. The FS just lets them burn if they don't threaten any structures. I've even hiked directly over smoldering ground before, with no danger.
>> but I am skeptical that it yields much insight

> It allowed economist for instance to measure that the price US society is willing to pay to avoid the loss of one random American life is about 8 million USD. I think this is a valuable insight.

I see that I was not specific enough, and should have written, "I am skeptical that it yields much insight into the origins of morality and the article author's claim that it is a universal property." I am still doubtful that this observation of current utility provides much insight into the issue that was both the subject of this essay, and of the specific post that you originally replied to.

> I am not sure but you seem to assume that "ethics" is a quantity that I propose to measure through a single number.

While it is clear now that you have a much more thoroughly developed position, it was the only example given in your original post.

We seem to be talking at cross-purposes here, so let me say that I am not questioning the utility of these metrics, but I do not see them as leading to any particular conclusion about the origin and ubiquity of ethics and moral behavior. On rereading your original post in the light of what you have written since, I now take it that your points there are a) morality is something that is built by mankind (as opposed to being universal in the sense that the essay author argues for?); b) the way to find out what a society's ethics are is to measure what it does (as opposed to accepting that its values are what it says they are?) and c) with objective measurements, we can continue to build a better, more effectve morality. If so, I am in complete agreement with b) and share your hope for c). With regard to a), personally I lean more towards TeMPOral's and roenxi's speculation that initial concepts of right and wrong evolved alongside the abilities of self-aware consciousness and the ability to develop a theory of mind, but I am aware that this is just armchair speculation.
