Thanks. I watched the JuliaCon state of Julia presentation. As I wrote in my original post, I appreciate the investments the Julia core developers are making, that have improved but not eliminated this problem. I wish them luck.
Not disputing you, just wanted to note that Shia Iran is doing far, far better than it's Sunni neighbors, which is even more impressive when you consider the kind of government they have and all those sanctions.

And while we Muslims undoubtedly carry the biggest blame for our demise- lets' not forget the west has real interest in keeping the status quo- a free thinking, rational government is fundamentally at odds with the fundamentalist dictators west has been supporting (e.g. in Saudi arabia) for past few centuries.

People in tech do seem to value time which may explain why they are disproportionately drawn to the "Financial Independence, Retire Early" (FIRE) movement. The tech industry continues to be much more supportive of 80 hour weeks until you strike it rich and "retire" early, than it is of steady part-time work over many decades of steady-state work-life balance. But the motivation may be the same for many.
They're also not apple :) These companies are probably just getting alerts from their intrusion detection system telling them someone's port scanning them.

I'll amend my earlier comment a bit. Apple as a corporation doesn't care, neither I imagine would Apple's corporate IT security as an entity, but individual people in Apple might decide port scanning is the bain of their existence and send something, but that's a fluke.
For some reason this reminded me of the Russians trying to train dogs to take out tanks in WW2.
I think many gender studies point to how inherently difficult it is to separate biology, physiology and culture. And much of the issues come when those three things don't seem to line up. So much of the vitriol from all sides of the cultural debate seem to extend from, not necessarily the science of it, but how that should affect our policies and interactions with each other.
Intel current platform does not support PCI4 though, if that is important to you, you will need a new mobo anyways.

Also I don't think many people are going to upgrade from intel 10th gen to intel 11th gen, assuming gen 12 will have DDR5 (worth skipping a gen)

From someone who has now owned these in this order.
1. New DXRacer
2. New Ergochair2
3. Used Aeron Classic

I currently use the Ergochair2.

The DXRacer had all the problems you stated, I could never feel like I was comfortable. Sold to a friend.

The Ergochair2 was my 'I want a Herman Miller but I don't want to buy a Herman Miller' purchase. It's comfortable for me, and is the perfect height for my setup. My complaints though are the creakiness, O.K. build quality (all plastic), arm rest are very meh, and no warranty. The flat and somewhat firm cushion is just right for how I sit.

I got lucky on an Aeron Classic, as my Dad's office was throwing it away... I took it home and tried it for 1 month. It was used, but I couldn't seem to get comfortable in it. My thighs felt like they were getting pinched at the base of the chair. I often sit with 1 leg crossed underneath me (weird I know) but this chair is NOT built for this. I feel like this chair was used quite a bit, so I can't speak on a new model. I will say the build quality blows the Ergochair2 out of the water. The warranty is a huge bonus as well. Luckily I gave this to my Dad as his office chair and he loves it vs his 20 year old Office Depot chair.

Sit in what you can, I'm happy didn't buy an Aeron.

While your point is well taken, note that the brain drain would not be as rampant if the countries themselves as a matter of policy emphasised investing in research.

Note also that a significant portion of the current problems bogging these nations down stems from conflict along religious and sectarian lines (Shia-Sunni enemity).

I was born without wisdom teeth but I always thought my dentist was joking when she said I was the next step in human evolution when the fact was discovered.

It's not really evolution through natural selection as such, I'd argue - there's only minor competitive pressure from having wisdom teeth or not.
Video is not real either. The perspective is different and the colors are wrong.

It is even less real after it went through lossy compression. The whole point of a lossy compression is to remove details that you perceive as unimportant. For example, leaves on a tree may look like a greeny mess, but that's fine, from afar, you don't make a difference.

Using neural networks for compression is far from being a new concept, and the result is not more or less real than any other technique. It is just that Nvidia implementation is really good at keeping the most important details in a small size.

If you want a more "real" image, you can just use the AI as a predictor and use the remaining bits to encode the difference, like in a traditional MPEG-style codec.
Entertainment for animals that doesn't require a person involved isn't a bad thing.

A lot of the production methods for methane at scale rely on plentiful available hydrogen though, so this is not necessarily a contradiction.

> electrolysis has a ~45% efficiency

That is not correct as far as i know. A modern PEM electrolyzer has an efficiency of around 80%.

> All in all, methane would be a saner, simpler target

I kind of agree, but this actually the same thing. To synthesis methane, one uses the water and electricity to create hydrogen with an electrolyzer and then add CO2 through hydrogenation to create methane. Advantage of methane is of course the higher density and it's a bigger molecule that is easier to store.

I think this, again, stems from a general misunderstanding of what science is. Science is a method of drawing conclusions about data. Sometimes, those initial conclusions can be misguided by incomplete data. The world discovered this virus less than a year ago. It takes some time to determine the different transmission vectors and risk factors associated with each. The CDC did not make a claim based on their "guts". The initial stance on masks was determined for a few reasons:

1) People often don't use masks properly. They often touch their masks and their faces. The initial thinking was that the virus spread largely through touching contaminated surfaces.

2) Mask mandates are difficult (as we are seeing now) and significant portions of the population refusing to use masks undercuts their efficacy.

3) There was a shortage of PPE when the pandemic started. The CDC and NHS didn't want to find themselves in a situation where hospitals had a hard time procuring masks because scared citizens hoarded the supply.

The anti-science issue in the US appears to have a few prongs to it. There has been a growing distrust of science for quite some time with the anti-vax and flat earth movements. I'm not sure what caused it, but it sadly appears to be a growing trend. Also, as we are seeing with the Coronavirus response, a lot of people seem to misunderstand that scientific consensus can change as new data is collected.
VMotion still feels like magic.
It's this the bit where you tell me that unnecessarily gluing in batteries, and soldering in memory, and charging a fortune for cables, and silently reducing processing power of older products, is all somehow about bringing tech to the masses and not a cynical move to reduce repairability and squeeze money out of successful lifestyle marketing?

The ultimate outcome, no matter what companies do, is that tech workers just won't live in big cities any longer.

If remote work is an option, then paying high rents just doesn't make sense.

Moreover, as this trend continues, the ultimate outcome is not US workers moving to low-cost locations, it is foreign workers supplanting US workers in extremely low cost locations.

Yeah the existing infrastructure is the biggie. In the US anyway, we already have a backbone of natural gas pipelines that go to most areas of the country.

And CNG is already being used on busses, trash trucks, and tractor trailers every day. I had a CNH civic that was a great little car, and basically identical to the gasoline version except for range. Honda stopped making them due to lack of demand. Bummer.
> I would be happy about FB dying, but what is wrong with copying good interface ideas?

Nothing, in my opinion. The problem arises when a company is so large that simply implementing a good interface idea completely destroys the value of the original. The best example is Snapchat. Snapchat got big, fast, because its main conceit, while simple, was pretty unique. As soon as Instagram implemented it, Snapchat fell off a cliff, because why use Snapchat when you can just use Instagram?
The parts of IBM are worth more than the whole, and many of the company's board members and investors realize that. They are getting the value of these deals, even if "IBM" is not.
Well, this is interesting (as long as something this stupid can be interesting).

But the person that stated this doesn't seem to be any less stupid than any other stupid involved.
The article elaborates on that choice of words.
"why not just start with a Lisp and improve it"

The reason is pretty clear. Mainstream programmers are just allergic to Lisp syntax.

They don't like all the parenthesis, and want a more Algol-like syntax (which, these days, and especially for the users who Julia is trying to attract, means a more Python-like syntax).

Lisp for a lot of developers also has an old, stale feel to it. Programming is dominated by fads, and most programmers (especially younger ones) want instead to chase the new shiny.

Decades ago, I read that there were already something like 4,000 languages. I expect in another couple of decades there'll be 4,000 more, with every new generation of developers eager to jump on the bandwagon of yet another new language.

Python, once the new kid on the block dethroning Perl, is now itself considered to be kind of old and stale, so people are looking for the new thing. Maybe Julia is it!
There is also a similar technoligy in Rob Reids After On book. The AI has the ability in thet book to "refocus" the person so that they are looking into the camera.

I believe this is huge and would create higher engagement if everybody was acutally looking into the camera instead of to the side or up all the time. Creating a more human an emotional relation with the people you are talking to.

Coinbase isn't hiding anything. It's the campaign's responsibility to identify donors in compliance with campaign finance laws. If a campaign is accepting donations of Bitcoin, it's their responsibility to find out who owns the wallet. Coinbase only knows, and can only know, the donor's wallet address. Coinbase doesn't even know what the transaction is for. That was one of the points of Bitcoin.

I've done a lot of IC dev work in my career of 20+ years, and I've moved cities often, so I had to frequently "start over" with reputation and networking.

What I found to work best was that any time I entered a new market, I would find a local contractor organization (that already has a lot of contacts), and do short-term high-skill jobs for them for 3-6 months (for example, spending two weeks at a bank helping optimize one of their new internal services). Contractor organizations tend to work more with mid tier developers, but they get frequent requests for high skill jobs that they don't have the people resources for. This allowed me to build up a group of very happy local references which can then be leveraged for longer, better pay contracts.

Once I had some references and a budding reputation, I'd go to networking events 2-3 times a week and talk to as many people as possible about the kind of work they do and I do. It's not uncommon to have two or three potential contract leads out of every event. After doing that for a month or two, my availability and rep would spread by word-of-mouth, and people would start contacting me directly for work, and I could be more selective about the jobs.
On one hand I agree, but when you apply this logic to a child, it seems bad.
This is a very cool app, but one thing I'm noticing is that you aren't providing any numbers about expectations (expected earnings/share, etc). Stock prices are forward projections, so it's less about how much money made/lost and more about how much money made/lost beyond current expectations. And this is certainly information a real insider trader would have.

Perhaps that would improve players results?
I'm not the person you're replying to, but I think the main reason you'd expect to see this on iOS is due to the additional Face ID sensors available on most of their devices. Presumably Apple could offer a version of this tech that features higher quality tracking and thus a more realistic and natural-looking final output.

Science flourished in Muslim lands until the devastating invasion of Mongols effectively destroyed the social and political networks that supported the “Golden Age”. Many families dedicated to learning migrated ahead of the Golden Horde to western parts of Muslim lands. The mystic poet Rumi is a famous example, and even got his name “Rumi” because his family migrated from Khurasan to Anatolia.

Based on that background, we know that the cause of the famous decline has little to do with religious doctrine. The Golden Horde of Mongols destroyed the Golden Age of Muslims. Simple enough.

West should count its lucky stars that Muslims took the brunt of the Mongol destruction.

The wikipedia article for Psilocybin has all of the above.

I've ordered a tiger lake laptop which should arrive around the end of the month, so I'll be able to test then. So just speculation for now:

I'd think AVX512 would still be advantageous for gemm kernels. If you use a 16 x 14 microkernel instead of an 8 x 6 microkernel, you'll reduce memory bandwidth by halving the passes over the cache-sized blocks in memory.
Well optimized implementations don't really have a problem with this (getting close to the CPU's peak flops on AVX2), but it still seems better than not doing it, and is an advantage for code with register tiling more generally.

I suspect that it'd help people using Tullio.jl in Julia, for example.

> Conventional alkaline electrolysis has an efficiency of about 70%. Accounting for the accepted use of the higher heat value (because inefficiency via heat can be redirected back into the system to create the steam required by the catalyst), average working efficiencies for PEM electrolysis are around 80%. This is expected to increase to between 82–86% before 2030 [1].

It is to store peak renewable energy (negative price), and to achieve Zero Carbon by 2050 (no natural gas).
