Seems to be true where I am too. I picked up an x230 for cheap pre-Covid, and it looks like x220s are now selling for 75% more than I paid.

I am sure that it is possible to get these computers. For example, lots of places are shutting down offices to move to remote-only, and I am seeing tens of computers at liquidation auctions every week...but it is obviously difficult to get this to where they are needed (and at liquidation, these things are still being given away...$50 or so for a 4th gen Intel, with monitor/keyboard/mouse).

But I suppose not many people know where to get things or how to make it work themselves. It always has to be new, new, new. Also, realistically, you should be able to do work on a phone...the idea with phones is/was that they are replacing the functionality of towers. It isn't ideal but it should be possible.
Psychologists really need to empathise. I follow this psychiatry podcast (that's also continued medical education for docs).

https://www.psychiatrypodcast.com/psychiatry-psychotherapy-p...

Have a read. A large part of performance seems to be from the ability to gain an alliance with the patient, a component of which is empathy.

>Being skillful at detaching from your own emotional response would seem to me to be a useful skill for such an occupation.

Possibly to some extent. Psych professionals often talk about 'countertransference', basically how the patient affected you emotionally, and how to use that clinically. If you didn't feel anything, you might not be able to use this useful cue.

And one other mantra I keep hearing from the psychiatrists are, "Find one thing you like about the patient and focus on that" (especially in regards to hateful, angry patients) It's going to be hard to help someone you can't empathise with for being angry and build an alliance.

edit: Psychologist/psychiatrist I flick between terms. I just mean any mental health professional that engage with a patient. Particularly for talk therapy.

edit edit: It's not like she's barred from being one. It just would be a big disadvantage (unless she deals with psychopaths who famously don't respond to anything)

If product lifetime is a concern, it's important to pick a vendor that guarantees product availability through a certain date. Either that, or you need to be prepared to do a lifetime buy of all of the parts you'll ever need when the EOL is announced.

Companies like NXP will guarantee certain parts for at least 10 years after launch date. Search for 'i.MX' on this page to see their date guarantees: https://www.nxp.com/products/product-information/product-lon...
I don't know how I feel about this. I like the idea of complete transparency, but even without being able to capture dramatic photos of courtroom battles the US already has trial by media in some cases. I feel like adding photos and videos to that would throw gasoline onto that fire and turn our judicial system into a reality show. I almost prefer the system in some European countries where they are not even allowed to release the names involved in criminal cases unless they have been found guilty.
So, "hackers" means people who are "primarily software developers"?

In that case, your statement that Python "was designed by and for hackers" is not correct. You can go back to van Rossum's 1993 paper on Python, at https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.38.... and see:

> Python is used or proposed as an application development language and as an extension language for non-expert programmers by several commercial software vendors. It has also been used successfully for several large non-commercial software projects (one a continent away from the author’s institute). It is also in use to teach programming concepts to computer science students

"non-expert programmers" and "computer science students" are not hackers by your definition, resulting in an internal inconsistency in your claim.

Python indeed wasn't built for doing numerical computing in Python. But it was definitely influenced by the needs of people who 'have first-hand experience of running HPC jobs' - under the "steering" model.

Here's a representative abstract from 1996, quoting https://www.osti.gov/biblio/461415 :

> We have described current approaches and future plans for steering C++ application, running Python on parallel platforms, and combination of Tk interface and Python interpreter in steering computations. In addition, there has been significant enhancement in the Gist module. Tk mega widgets has been implemented for a few physics applications. We have also written Python interface to SIJLO, a data storage package used as an interface to a visualization system named MeshTv. Python is being used to control large-scale simulations (molecular dynamics in particular) running on the CM-5 and T3D at LANL as well. A few other code development projects at LLNL are either using or considering Python as their steering shells. In summary, the merits of Python have been appreciated by more and more people in the scientific computation community.

One of the authors of that presentation, Paul Dubois, was lead developer for Numerical Python, which evolved into NumPy.

The needs of numeric computing, under the steering model, contributed to Python-the-language. Most recently with "@", but also the multiple slice notation a[1:3, 5:11:2] and the change to remove the three-state compare cmp(). Plus under-the-covers support for a wide range of HPC architectures.

In turn, Python's support for steering numeric computing helped it make in-roads in HPC, where it remains to this day.

You may call the steering model 'an ad-hoc kludge of Python and C/C++', but as I've pointed out, you have a tendency to use needless antagonisms, and that's another one of them.

You're the one who claims I don't do "real" programs, only "bread-and-butter things" simply because I don't do bare-metal numeric computing software. Just how much of a multi-disciplinary effort is Julia if bare-metal numeric computing software is the only discipline it focuses on?

Thankfully - article update - since the Firefox version is maintained separately by LiCybora, that maintainer has split off[1].

What confuses me is that the original author, jspenguin2017, has showed up, and is helping a bit with the backend. Since he's already sold the Chrome extension to some shady developers, why is he somehow also nice enough to help out? Gorhill did something similar with the original uBlock, but at least they weren't shady right from the start. What in the world is going on here? Why didn't jspenguin2017 just abandon the project?

Any toolbox can be misused. Anything can be made into an idol.

The fact remains that the "lesswrong rationalism" community was the first to popularize several rather sophisticated reasoning concepts. They have provided common reference points that have made it easier for me to communicate my thinking to others and vice versa, and I am far from the only writer/reader who has benefited in this way. As a consequence, I'm generally sympathetic to this group, and personally identify as a rationalist.

I agree that the heuristic "internal consistency is always worth actively working on" can go very wrong. It looks like you're defining rationalism as structuring of one's life around that heuristic; I'm guessing you must have had bad experiences with people who actually do that.
>perhaps at least some of them truly and reasonably believe that the evidence is not strong enough

Again this is why we need a thorough investigation into the matter. So far there has not been one. You of all people need to be demanding this since you want to get to the bottom of this and see the evidence.

Furthermore senate republicans have walked of committee hearings, they refuse to call witnesses, and they refuse to listen to witnesses. This shows you that they don't care about the evidence. And that answers your last question.
A better metric for text difficulty might be mean tf-idf. Essentially the average "rareness" of each word used.

In India a common practice is to go to a doctor (G.P.) who uses a foot-long syringe to irrigate your ears with warm water. It is supposed to soften the wax which then either comes out by itself when you tilt your head (lying down) after the syringing, or can be removed easily by earbud etc.

Raising the "Grade level" of debate is a terrible idea. Presidential candidates need to be able to communicate with and persuade not just college and high school graduates, but uneducated people as well.

Uneducated people have 1 vote each, same as educated people. If you can't convince uneducated people that we have to do something about global warming then in democratic countries, you can't make the sacrifices needed to solve global warming. The result is disastrous for the planet.

We need presidential candidates that can really dumb things down to such a level that just about anyone can understand it, no matter their education level.

If you're becoming a part-owner, of course it makes sense you have to buy shares, my only confusion is how they determine the relationship between the value of those shares and what you have to pay for them.
> I would have assumed that dyslexia would be just as much of a problem regarding the ordering of components within characters. Anyone have any idea why it's apparently not?

The article explains it in terms of teaching methods: it sounds like the method they describe involves a consistent relation of the order of strokes to the parts of the word being recited with it; that would make the phonetic associations (even though the symbology is not phonetic) consistent. A consistent phonetic writing system (which is likewise less likely to reveal dyslexia) has a similar feature. English is taught phonetically, but has intense phonetic irregularities, so the phonetic connections at present but ambiguous. If phonetic associations with the symbol through learning have an anchoring effect, that would seem to explain the identified effect.

> control-intensive, and memory-intensive

latency to remote accelerators can be problematic for some control workloads. ideally the control plane can hopefully offload itself onto the accelerator too.

I don't see memory intensive as a barrier. The 8 vdom+ processors probably come with sizable multi-megabyte caches. Perhaps they could be early on-ram processor architectures? after all it seems they have a fixed function diff pipeline. icd also suggest that perhaps the hardware representation might be very effective at using low bit-depth encodings, saving gobs of memory. keep text offboard & encode attribute values via some columnar representation & this could be a high throughput HTMLElement slinger & differ!
Every day that you are in critical condition carries a relatively high risk of death. Beyond that, hospitals are full of other diseases, and staying in one when your immune system is already taking a beating is dangerous.

The drug may have some negative effect on the chance that you'll die each day, but it is unlikely that the effect would be strong enough to prefer spending more time in critical condition. And getting cured faster will allow your immune system to be more able to fight off other risks.

How did people figure that out?

Ever since the invention of writing, the #1 predator to humankind has been other humans, so we must go back to the time before written records to get to a time when cats were the #1 predator. My question is, in the absence of written records, how did the people of the current age determine the rate of death from the various predators?

Maybe you mean the #1 predator not including other humans?
You're right, I probably should have said "some operating systems". I was generalizing based on my own education, which used Linux. I believe Windows does not do this either, but I'm not sure how many OS 101 classes teach Windows kernel :)

> The advantage is that you find out if you don't have enough memory when you make the system call to request it, not by having the program killed.

I wonder how much of an advantage this is. Memory availability is constantly in flux, and Linux at least, goes to great lengths to reclaim memory before invoking the OOM killer, which is a last resort. What if memory frees up immediately after the application gets the error return, but before the app touches it?

I'd trust the kernel more to manage this than applications themselves, because the kernel can make much better decisions on how to juggle things (evicting caches and whatnot). Plus, we all know how well we all test our error handling paths :)

The disagreeing students are rational and irrational at the same time; their rationality forces them to act irrationally. That's why it is a paradox, kind of similar to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_paradox

Of course you can argue about the details in particular situation, just like you can explain that the card is not really a paradox, as the statements were written by different people, etc.

The main reason why I pointed out the story is that it is a certain answer to the question, why are not rational people (more) successful? We can easily imagine a class of "irrational" students, who take the Varoufakis' proposal, all get their good grades, and move on to other tasks, beating the hardcore rationalists in the process.

There's a Foreign Earned Income Exemption which will eliminate the tax payment requirement for most people on wage income, but you'll be taxed on investments/interest from the first dollar. People with income higher than the FEIE who pay taxes to a high-tax high-service jurisdiction (like Japan) will generally use the foreign tax credit to take care of most of their liability; folks who live in a low-personal-income jurisdiction like Hong Kong and are high-paid get smacked pretty hard.

There exists a plethora of compliance problems which are worse than the actual taxation, for example the PFIC regulations which make it non-economic to do standard middle class investment abroad for e.g. a child's education. Advocates for Americans overseas are trying to get the PFIC and FATCA regulations overturned or get safe harbors expanded dramatically, but there exists a feeling in Washington that the only Americans who'd have bank accounts or mutual funds outside the US are "fat cats" (get it?) trying to abuse the tax system rather than pretty typical taxpayers with pretty typical life choices.

2 issues: I mentioned Mirai which was not spoofed or reflected - just lots of devices and real sources. Garbage traffic as in something you didn't request.

And the liability may work in one country, but you can't put a liability on ISPs internationally. Unless you want to end up in a situation where the US tells China their ISP is liable for spam traffic and hear that a US ISP is liable for traffic deemed illegal by the party.

Anything but dumb pipes is going to be extremely complicated internationally.
It works in a funny way sometimes. The last attempted reform in Russian tried to change spelling of several words to better reflect pronunciation. It failed spectacularly because of public outrage: new spelling rules make people to write in a bad spelling. People have been learning for generations that "парашют" must be spelled with 'ю' (not 'у'), the other way they perceived as mistaken, so they perceived new grammar as mistaken, and no logic arguments could change that.

The previous couple of reforms I believe were successful because of communists' ruling style. The first one was dramatic, it removed several letter from alphabet and did a bunch of other changes. People who run away from communists in 1917..24 continued to use old grammar for decades.

> The difference is that countries speaking the language agreed on setting common rules, with the goal of making official what is already becoming standard by daily use.

There is a trouble with that. The standard by daily use is to follow official spelling. Pronunciation could shift sometimes, but spelling is fixed. Any changes in spelling (even official ones) feel as blasphemy. Some people could overcome this feeling, but the most could not and want not.

Here's my guess:

- It's televised Sunday mornings (at least here in America), and it's way more interesting than anything else on at that time.

- It's a soap opera/drama, but socially acceptable for men to watch. You've got all the classic story tropes there (intra-/inter-team rivalries, underdog/favorite, hotshot newcomer/grizzled veteran, rich vs poor, etc.)

- People are inherently intrigued by man + machine collaborations, kids too. I didn't appreciate this until I hung around my friends' kids, and saw their amazement at any moving vehicle. Then I remembered, yes, I was once one of those kids.

With that said, I think F1 as a motorsport is pretty boring.

- If you're in it for the racing, I'd rather watch Indycar, which has the same or better racing with open-wheeled cars at 1/10th the price.

- If you're in it to see car technology translate to your road car, probably should watch a GT series instead.

- If you're in it for the technological innovation, none of those things get shared to viewers. As a data person, I would love to see how the sausage gets made, like how they translate learnings from the simulator to the real track, or the the trial & error in tweaking their aero or engine configs, CFD, etc. But for obvious sporting reasons, they can't. Like you can notice that Mclaren's nose is different, you just don't know why. Knowing why is the more interesting part IMO.
