that movie was awful, especially in comparison to the original. it had none of the innuendo and poetry, more a punch in the face.

imho, the hollowing out of american film began ~20 years ago, with netflix being just a milestone in that evolution. i've been much more interested in foreign films as a result. i'm currently going through the recent back canon of korean films (take care of my cat, oldboy, mother), and it's been great! reminds me of the 90's in american film--while today's films are technically and visually more sophisticated, storytelling and character development has suffered measurably. older french films (and others) are great for that too. the big american blockbusters are fun to watch in the moment but feel like empty calories afterwards.
I suppose we have a different understanding of predictability.

I find most block buster movies very predictable. The end is generally obvious (hint: the good guys win) and they follow a fairly common setup. That's not necessarily bad, you can produce very entertaining movies that way, and they're often very well produced and supreme in technical aspects, but they're not something I'd watch twice and usually not something I recommend to anyone.

What you're doing is creating a declarative syntax for applying machine learning tasks directly to data. This makes it learnable by machines, effectively teaching them how to do their own machine learning experiments. I think this project is greater than the sum of its parts.
I got a little excited when I saw the article a few days ago about the growing potential for fusion power reactors the size of tennis courts. Compact nuclear power with abundant fuel, no runaway reaction potential, and no fission waste, would be the holy grail for the maritime industries.

But even barring the potential for nuclear, renewable power for ships is feasible. Liquid hydrogen has a ton of potential as a fuel source. And it can be reliably produced sustainably with reasonable efficiency. Price is the only factor barring its use currently (the technology already exists, and it is already good enough). With abundant intermittent renewables, excess power will get cheaper, which will bring down the prices for hydrogen. And when cleaner is actually cheaper than dirty, even the ethically-challenged will make the right choice.
Big fan of your books and blog! Would you say usefulness of dpdk and xdp has diminished purely from performance standpoint? I hear rumors you can do line rate on modern linux kernels these days but haven’t had a chance to try it personally yet. I think at the time maglev was originally developed google was still on 2.6 kernels...
Do you like paying over and over for solutions made since 1998? Do you like being told you can't use the software you already paid for? There are alternatives in case you don't.
I'm not sure that the affects of stimulants for ADD are across the board, as you describe. That is, for lots of people, me included, add meds seem to boost my executive functions.

Without them, I actually have no problem focusing on certain things, but it's usually some unimportant problem or project that I become distracted by.

With meds, I find it much easier to step back and get a clear picture of not just my work, but my whole life. I become more attentive to my family, less irritated by distractions. And more a able to get important things done, like my taxes, that before would plague me.

I know some people seem to react to the meds by turning into a worker drone, But it doesn't do that to me. It does make me more excited to make progress and get things done right.
That's very motivating, things seem to alway go very slow then fast.
I thought about adding a lifetime plan too when I launched on ProductHunt, but it is a bit scary when you are not 100% sure of your pricing structure. Might end up having to support customers for years and cost more than expected.
I guess your product has been long enough now that you know the costs.
Google recently introduced yet another opt-out nagbox. It shows up for example on search and youtube. Non compliant. Repeat offender. What should be the right course of action? As far as I'm aware GDPR was not supposed to be another Cookie Law, it is not working as intended.

Yeah, agree with the general sentiment of the post, but I think it does not go nearly far enough.

The TV Series rating link: call me old or highbrow but I really thought Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone" should be in the top 10. Nope, not even in the top 146.

The U.S. "The Office" makes the top 146 (#13) but not the U.K. version.

Fawlty Towers? Nowhere.

It depends whether you control both ends. If you need to talk to TCP clients then you have to use TCP.
The more pressing issues in science-

Where's the cutoff of real science? Biology? Medicine? Psychology? Politics, economics?

If Medicine is science, we need massive deregulation to allow scientists to practice medicine instead of a singular group.

If psychology is science, there needs to be an effort to validate studies.

6. Even with 30 of the greatest workstation software packages the 128gb studio drive allows you more than 100 gb of storage on disk. Instructions are given to allow you to transfer all of it to your main drive no matter the size above 32gb.
This is the correct answer.

There's no such thing as conservation of mass, mass and energy are convertible into each other. But in the real of chemistry that conversion happens on a ratio of at most 1e-7, so when it comes to the human body we might as well say that the weight that goes in must equal what comes out, and that's close enough.
Moving to their own chips also allows for much more aggressive pricing.

I have Swedish security clearance, and I was never even asked during the interview but I must assume the know since an even cursory glance at my social media would reveal I’m gay.
I literally just got diagnosed with adult ADD a month ago. I'm 46! It... explains a lot of things, both for better and for worse. I never even realized I was developing coping skills vs. just developing normal skills, if that makes sense. I definitely have had the same types of problems as you describe.

I've been on Ritalin for a few weeks now, and the difference is remarkable. If this is how normal people feel most of the time, I don't know... I am both relieved to have a name for what was causing me problems, and also feel the need to grieve lost opportunities in life. It's a complex mix of emotions.

I have a contrarian view that this is a very good ideas to get rid of the duopoly of Apple and Google App Store.
These companies charge 30% of all sales and in a country like India where margins are low, that can be a huge chunk of profits .
I also believe that there should be a baseline for what apps can come preinstalled on a new phone - because India is a hotbed for low cost Chinese mobiles that are subsidized by the CCP and in turn send all user data to China.
You don't have to invoke color-blindness or tetrachromacy to explain that. Even normal trichromatic people will have differences of opinion about shades of blue or green. But every difference of opinion that might involve gender will always be exaggerated.
> person-based, which tracks and creates a list of “high-risk” individuals by combining a person's criminal history with an analysis of their social network.

There is no way the software actually achieves this. If it did we would have already heard about a well-off target identified by the software, a target with the means to mount a loud defense against such tracking.

And it cannot be that the software accurately returns such results but LE simply ignores them if the target seems to be too powerful. In that case we would have already heard from a leaker about a murder from a perpetrator that such a system correctly identified but LE neglected to follow up on. (Think of the value to the company of such evidence!)

No, I'm guessing this system gives LE cover for the same flawed systems they've historically used to target and harass people who don't have the means to loudly mount a defense. Just take the same process that a court has ruled against as unconstitutional, use its data as input to your ML algo, and voila! You've probably got at at least one more decade before society figures out you're just appending the words "through a sophisticated AI system" to your outlawed policing.
By whom? The government has shown time and time again they aren't interested in policing attacks against labor (see: the toothlessness of the NLRB, the gig economy, weakening of unions/organizing, etc) so it wouldn't be them.

The companies aren't going to do it because LOL wut?

So how are you going to get labor to do that? And if they do, who do they take it to (because again, NLRB is underfunded and relatively weak)
I mostly agree with this except I think the bigger thing is that you should rarely be using locks in the first place. Instead use existing parallel data structures and atomics.
I really want COVID-19 to be over soon so I can go do some adult ski camps. There is a park skiing camp I can’t go to right now in Europe and a steep skiing clinic at Whistler in Canada. Cannot do either with current travel restrictions and not wanting to catch anything going to or from the resorts.
"How to desolder power from your built in 5G network adapter"

I give it 20 years before we have to root our TV's to disable tracking while keeping it functional - and that might be optimistic - the industry could get there in under 10 if they tried hard.
Women have a small chance to be tetrachromats, so yeah they can see colors others have trouble with.
Good article, I know a few people who've had their laptops stolen. Curious on your thoughts about Linux full-disk encryption? I've been using LUKS2 whenever I do fresh install. Also, do you suggest file / folder encryption in addition to disk?
It happens quite a lot, actually. Search the net for negative power prices and you'll understand the mechanics (for example, [1]).

So if a supplier can use that excess power to generate another product which can be sold, that's a win-win for them: they won't have to pay the penalty for oversupplying the grid, and they can sell the generated hydrogen for additional profit.

The press follows, rather than identifies, the trend. It doesn't help that in most 'news' organizations, the news is considered entertainment and isn't terribly rigorous.

The 2xxx series wasn't terribly impressive to many so they've just started to peak out in the way that Intel did at least 5 years ago. We're heading into AMD's 4th iteration of processors that basically mop the floor with Intel from a price/performance and performance/watt standpoint and it's just starting to become accepted in the mainstream that Intel is in trouble. It will take another generation or two of products before the press catches on to the fact that what nVidia is telling everyone isn't true. Of course it will be helpful if there's some competition to point to that helps make the case.
Here's my hot take: supply chain attacks are a low risk for your organization - they are both low likelihood and low impact.

1) Low likelihood: when popular packages get subverted it is caught quickly due to how widely packages are distributed. After it's caught the problem is also heavily publicized for folks to take action, and registries remove the affected versions immediately so there is a very small exposure window.

2) Low impact: people who write malicious code into these packages don't have a specific target, they are writing dragnet malware, which typically means mining cryptocurrency or ransomware. If you're going to get hacked then that's the best possible outcome (as opposed to, e.g. a data breach).

Your security posture would have to be superb if supply chain attacks were anywhere near the top of your list - for the majority of companies they have more basic and targeted issues to worry about.
Terrible. It's so upsetting to realise how easily we can (and do) destroy ecosystems.

No, this isn't true. There's no conservation of matter anywhere. If you take 2 hydrogen atoms and weight them, then bond them together in a hydrogen molecule and weight that, the molecule weights less than twice one hydrogen atom.
GDPR article 12[0] explicitly permits this:

> Without prejudice to Article 11, where the controller has reasonable doubts concerning the identity of the natural person making the request referred to in Articles 15 to 21, the controller may request the provision of additional information necessary to confirm the identity of the data subject.

Article 17 deals with requesting the deletion of data and article 21 deals with objecting to the processing of your data.

In fact, not verifying the identity of individuals could be legally dangerous because you are in effect allowing an individual to tamper with another individual's data.

I think part of it is also Netflix's shrinking catalog. Five years ago, before their initial contracts started running out, Netflix was a spot where you to go to watch anything. Netflix could afford to push people to tailored content because they had all the content.

Now, however, those initial contracts have expired, and a host of streaming services have popped up. If I want to find a movie, I need to fire up Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Amazon Prime, then run a search on each of them. Half the time, I still fall back to placing a hold at my local library. I don't think Netflix is pushing new shows because they think the new shows are best. I think they are pushing new shows because they are desperately trying to pivot from a streaming company to a production studio, and the only way to do so is to downplay older media.
The website's theme is quite nice. It doesn't appear to be based on Mediawiki.

I use createPages and I get hot reloading when running gatsby develop.

I also just figured out how to trigger hot reloading for sources that normally don’t trigger it (markdown files which I was manually processing).

Basically, I discovered that gatsby will hot-reload when it sees a change in code files (.tsx). So I created an essentially empty _rebuild-trigger.tsx file and imported that in my main page template.

Now, to change the page content and trigger a hot-reload:

- I have an observable subscribed in createPagesStateful that calls deletePage and createPage
- Then write to the file _rebuild-trigger.tsx file

I need to make a blog post because it works great (and I could tie it to any change source - like file system watcher - during development).

You seem to agree with me despite denying it. Everything is political, there are complex interrelated systems by which decisions get made and people hold power. Arguing that some things aren't within the sphere of acceptable political discourse is naive and pointless since you can't actually enforce it at all.

This article was a fascinating and informative read for me.

The author (who I assume is male, I don't remember if he said so outright) kept repeating how colour is perceived based on the difference between receptor signals. I had learned that already so I kept thinking, "yeah yeah, I know"...

... Then he got to the point about edge detection, and suddenly I understood! I never thought before about how the difference is calculated between receptors that are not precisely co-located on the retina. Of course! Seems obvious in retrospect but I never thought about it. That also makes many colour-optical illusions make more sense.

If the author comes across these comments -- I have full colour vision and unusually good eyesight. Even for me, without magnification the stars are not colourful. Mars is slightly red, Betelgeuse is very slightly red, the milky way has a slightly bluish tinge, but for the most part, the stars are just white points. They do sometimes shimmer / twinkle briefly between different colours in a way that can make it really hard to say what exact colour they are, even if I stare at them. You probably notice that too, though. So I don't think your experience of the stars is likely to be that different, and you shouldn't feel sad!
I used to hang out with one of their engineers, he was a great guy and I tell you what, he took his job serious, lived and breathed the company and his work. Teenage Engineering is a small team and from what I know this tech was 5 years in the making. I think it is a great accomplishment from them.

>>There is no way the software actually achieves this. If it did we would have already heard about a well-off target identified by the software, a target with the means to mount a loud defense against such tracking.

I mean it's more likely that the system is going to informing you about likely targets for certain crime types (less murder which is frequently singular and more drug dealing since repeated). It's going to help create lists of suspects to pursue on a matter. If one of them is also a senator's son or a CEO, you'd likely go in softer than Joe Poorperson
We'll have to see how pro-labor the next administration is.

Newsom was touting the other day that the state is dedicating another $2B (not sure if incremental or what) towards fighting wildfires.

The problem is, the more money you make available, the more that the agencies will find to justify that it needs to be spent. How? Well, we'll figure that out later. Probably something having to do with more planes, technology, contractors, etc. I.e. bandaids.

Seems similar to healthcare -- you pay for treatments, and that's what you're gonna incentivize. As many treatments as doctors can justify, with outcome or root cause only as an afterthought.

I had the same issue.

I’ve switched to Vyvanse and have been loving it. The on and off ramps are much longer so everything feels a bit more smooth than Adderall ever did.
"law and order" to me means ramping up the brutality of the response to crime, and non-criminal nuisance, largely for its own sake. It's about the imposition of order, and the spectacle of policing, not the actual crime level as reported in any statistics.

The notorious "repetitive beats" section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_Justice_and_Public_Or... is the kind of thing I mean; rave culture involved fairly minor crimes, trespass and noise pollution, but because it annoyed the rural middle class there was huge demand for a clampdown.
The reality is we forced nature to _not_ burn for far too long and now it’s exploding when it happens.

You could argue this is a “flattening the curve” approach to wildfires.

> there have been many advances in ADHD meds

respectfully, I disagree with this. The last new therapy was atomoxetine, which is almost 20 years old now and not seen as terribly efficacious.

Everything else new has been some variation on mixed dextroamphetamine/amphetamine salts or methylphenidate. Vyvanse is just a pro-drug for dextroamphetamine.

The only novel thing in the pipeline is SPN-812, which may work similar to atomoxetine.
Eh, every chip company has lower-end models that are cheaper. There's nothing stopping Apple from putting i3s in Macs.
This is part of the reason why current languages and operating systems simply do not have security properties that would inhibit or entirely prevent these risks: it never mattered economically enough to implement them. Big corporations insure themselves against these risks financially (if at all), not technologically.

The other big reason has been having to maintain backward compatibility, personal computers and programming languages built for them were only networked late compared to some mainframe systems. There have been very interesting historical networked operating systems that were far more secure in their architecture than current contenders: https://github.com/void4/notes/issues/41
