Anyone who wants stable, performant GPU today can buy AMD. Future is here. That's Wayland target.

I live in the past — Intel GPU, X.Org, xmonad. I've thought to wait a few more years but I've checked Sway, it works. I'll check waymonad, maybe it works, maybe I'll make it work.

They probably are already — you can’t do drug interdiction when there’s no flow of drugs.

But in the end that funds the margins, not the bulk of the funds required.
> Any problem gradient with a chance of unlocking immortality should be leaned into.

Why? Death is an important, and probably the least appreciated, aspect of evolution. Humanity can't change if the powers-that-be literally never go away. And that's ignoring finite resources on the planet.

Would you rather live forever or have children?
" the NYPost has a narrative, with physical evidence, corrobrated by actual non-anonymous people alleging very bad things about a presidential candidate "

> What percentage of people would rate portrait photo with bokeh much much better from a DSLR than from an iPhone 12 pro (or any other top Android phone) in a blind test?

As an iPhone 11 Pro + Halide user myself, I daresay a DSLR photo with a decent portrait lens would definitely look better — or at the very least — more natural, than any iPhone photo that relies on "computational photography" fake-bokeh.
"hacked materials" but according to the story the laptop was now the property of the shop owner after Hunter Biden allegedly left it for service without paying and never came to pick it up. Most of those kinds of shops have a 90ish day policy that you sign and after that its theirs. That would not be hacked material.

Also, if the policy on hacked material was enforced; wouldn't the NYT story on the tax returns hacked/leaked from Trump also apply? Most of the controversy here is that Twitter has selectively taken action, and now that they changed their policy, they still wont reactivate the account even though its no longer in violation until the NYP deletes the original violating tweet.

No mention of whether or not the photo was handheld or how long the exposure time was. If the photo they were referring to was handheld, I guess I agree. However, the subsequent photo which is the same landscape is captioned "on tripod" so it's not clear if the previous one (which isn't captioned) is handheld or not.

If both were shot on a tripod, then I disagree with the original statement. Any sensor will do better in low light with a longer exposure, and if phones simply let you expose for however long you wanted to then many "night" photos would look amazing - on a tripod, of course.
ZH was saying that it was going to be a catastrophe before China even started lying about how they had it under control.
>Companies like Google with massive Java experience also investing heavily other languages suggests that this is not so compelling.

Google's scale means that performance actually matters a lot versus productivity. When you've got millions of servers the costs add up. So making something twice as fast but taking 25% more dev time is probably a good tradeoff for them. For most other companies that's not the case.
They don't allow me. I don't know what a court would say, but I do know it wouldn't be worth the individual hassle because I've gone there before.
The Doctor in Voyager is, IIRC, an early prototype, and Voyager is bother later than The Next Generation and set on a newer ship. And the Doctor, IIRC, benefited from upgrades during the show, having been more limited I scope initially.

Unless it's directly inciting violence, yes.

> How is that workable? Many people cannot distinguish fake news from legitimate sources of information.

The track record of restricting information from people because you feel like you're smarter than they are is not great. It's also impractically subjective.

> Increasing noise (disinformation) is just as damaging to free speech as decreasing the signal (censorship).

I consider your suggestion of encouraging clamping down on free speech too dangerous to discuss. By your logic should I be able to prevent you from expressing it?
I have no idea, legally speaking, what they would be permitted to do.

In reality what they would actually do would depend on what that "something" is. If it's something like "don't eat meat on odd-numbered dates", you're probably fine. On the other hand, you say something harmful or distasteful to other protected categories, you'd be lucky to keep your account. They'd weigh the harm to you of kicking you off versus the harm to others by letting you stay and (of course) the PR liability incurred by doing either.

If the discrimination criteria are broadly found to match up with a protected class you're in legal hot water. IOW using proxies for "plausible deniability" is a risky strategy and businesses have been punished in the past for doing it.

> It cannot be a fuzzy "I dislike what you do", as it is prone to selective enforcement

You're right it can be. But again, consider the alternative on online forums. Anyone could post porn or vulgarity on religious forums, or socialist propaganda on business forums. It would be very disruptive if selective enforcement weren't allowed.
You’ll note the word “likely” in my comment. And there’s nothing special about C in my argument - I was responding to a comment which used it as an example. The point is simply that one way or another any given team likely knows how to tune, monitor and/or diagnose issues in native bits - in fact even a Java focussed team likely has these skills. But the reverse is clearly not true.
Siri answers the first query correctly, fwiw
"Deep" in the mouse is a few millimeters, while deep brain structures in primates are 10-15x deeper. In primates, the fields would be harder to precisely interfere because of our thicker skulls and larger, more convoluted brains.

The level of c-fos activation in the Cell paper is also a little crazy--it seems way too intense to be correct, especially when compared against direct electrophysiological measurements.

It's also not 100% clear that the high frequency fields do nothing--there are some claims that they have DC-like effects due to hysteresis in the neurons' membrane potentials.
The whole point of section 230 was to let internet sites remove user supplied content they find objectionable without that making them liable for user supplied content that they do not remove.

Cloud functions definitely have the problems described here -- it's hard to get them to "scale" with the size of the team. Interesting to see the migration to Cloud Run. It's basically manage kNative (which lives on top of Kubernetes). Seems like a reasonable move. Thanks for sharing!
Before anyone brings up Section 230, let's all get up to speed on what it means, from an expert, Ken White @ Popehat:

For those exposed to this industry for quite some time this change has been coming for years, take back control and reduce costs. One not need look far, the stock exchanges for example, to see all the payments companies going public and there are significantly more private entities "in the game" with more popping up every week. "Fee'd to death" I call it as I have been one of those middlemen several times. With so many middlemen in the mix it should come as ZERO surprise as it relates to all the cyber breaches since PCI is nothing more than reactionary to an exponentially growing issue now encompassing all other industries and the most impactful with be the health field, one CANNOT change their health records. PCI 4 is currently in RFC and slated to go live in 2024, yes 2024. Anyone think the crims are gonna hold off until "everyone that is compliant" can implement the new requirements?

I think WebAssembly still has a bright future, regardless of a corporation practically gaining control over a standard (there's always opportunity for more standards).

Smart money saving pots, Open Banking, calendar view of payments, graphs and calculators for different transaction types, paperless statements, paperless loan applications, rewards with specific merchants. The actual useful stuff and none of the cruft.
This reminds me of the issue in machine translation where even sophisticated systems cannot understand the importance of a word like "no". So, for example, a phrase like "please press this button" could be translated as "please do not press this button" and it could be automatically rated as a good translation because most of the words are there.

But, on the other hand, I have dictated these paragraphs, (pretty much just adding punctuation and minor edits at the end). I think the most useful feature I've found related to voice is dictation (speech to text). It is almost perfect, at least in English (and I am not a native speaker).
I'm almost completely unfamiliar with brain science. Could you explain the basic idea of what they're signalling 7mm deep? The brain is a good deal larger than 7mm, so are they just targeting certain areas towards the surface of the brain?
I don’t see how it does at all - the point isn’t C versus Java, it’s native versus managed. Any reasonably proficient team running managed services needs to know how to deal with native dependencies, but the reverse is not true.

I use pen and paper for heavy brainstorming, specially when thinking about abstract concepts. But, at some point, I need to sit at the computer and put those notes in order.

Well, good to know it is not just the US.
But you can use 99% of C/C++ applications without any compiler flag trickery.

My experience is not that you can run 99% of Java applications without running out of memory or something like that. That's why I avoid Java these days when I have the option. I don't think things would have changed much that much in recent years, making my experience no longer valid.

>I prefer to assess the accuracy of news stories myself (usually considering the original source and how aligned their interests are with the published information)

There's your problem.

It's one thing to want the raw data out there if you want it, and more importantly, for others who are smarter than you to analyze it. Same principle with publishing methods and analysis of a scientific paper, or publishing source code you'll never look at to github: The fact that others can see it is important in itself.

That said, your comment borders too close to the Trumpian "experts know nothing, we can't trust the fourth estate" mentality. Actually, Trumpians don't know the term 'fourth estate'. Anyway. There is value in having institutions of trust investigate events and curate the story.

" Democracy is not a bunch of educated elites (and most of the "respected" media is white and ivy-league educated) telling the unwashed masses what to think and how to feel."

That is exactly what the fake Hunter Biden story is though. Blatant GOP propaganda released at a strategic moment to assist the re-election of Trump.
Companies have found that to hire engineers living in SF, they need to pay more than hiring someone living in Idaho. That is supply and demand.

Though I generally agree with the sentiment that we should do more to claw back ill-gotten gains, civil asset forfeiture is a terrible precedent and should be eliminated, not expanded. The legal theory is that your money (and property) doesn't have the right to due process, since it's not a person. So basically you have to prove that it wasn't involved in a crime. Which just leads to police officers stealing from poor people who haven't been convicted of a crime.
I didn't call anyone a lunatic. But believing that we should abandon testing entire is an opinion that is extreme in the sense it's not widely held: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/02/25/most-americ...

Super majorities of people believe race should play no factor at all in college admissions. And grades and standardized test scores are the two things people list first as criteria that should govern admissions decisions. I do not believe that folks who would advocate abandoning standardized testing entirely based on the premise that they're irredeemably flawed are not expressing a widely-held opinion.
>It's my understanding that Congress has the power to summon anybody, arrest and jail them for failure to appear.

AIUI, that's true. However, action (and inaction) by the Executive and inaction by Congress, not just recently either, complicates matters.

A pretty good article at Lawfare[0] discusses this at some length.

Also a bill[1] was introduced in the House last June to clarify some of these issues.

Hopefully more attention will be paid to ensuring that Congressional oversight is able to function effectively.

However, one must also guard against politicization of those processes -- but, IMHO, that's less important than making sure the Congress can effectively exercise its oversight role.

I would personally trust SSH based on OpenSSH the most, WireGuard second, custom SSH third, TLS 4th, and then the rest.
I’ve recently come to a similar conclusion around “Focus” being something in short supply in most workplaces and no matter how often I point out its power (with examples), people push to solve 3-5 large scale problems concurrently.

I’m not sure where I’ll find more focused environment but I’m sure I want little todo with the constant “hustle” mentality.
Are you ok with Comcast and ISPs filtering your internet then? Forget about net neutrality -- they're a private company and it's their right to censor websites and traffic they don't like.

And since you're standing up for corporate civil rights, I'd love to hear your defense of the Citizens United decision while we're at it.
Honestly, I don't see much distinction between teaching people about structural privilege and suggesting they admit they benefit from it. Difference of degree, perhaps, but not much.

You trusted your alma mater when you were taught there; not trusting the direction it's taking now? Is it possible you're not seeing the picture the way they are?
Traditionally Congress has referred enforcement to the US Department of Justice. The flaws of this should probably be obvious in the current political environment.

A lot of this came up during the investigations prior to the Trump impeachment in the context of forcing witnesses to appear.
> London is not like living in some police state

I lived there for 7 years and I don't share the same feelings. Sure it's not like you live in 1984 but it feels much more like a "police state" in comparison to the rest European capitals.
I appreciate that it is a tough call, but being "the right call" ultimately depends on whether the merits and sourcing of the story. If it turns out that the story is true, and it didn't come from any foreign source, and stalling on the story has a real impact on our election (going other way), then I would hope that these sources would all agree that they made the wrong call... that their fear of failing to act has caused them to act when they shouldn't have.

> Specificity is required to disambiguate between two or more methods which are all supertypes of the argument type. … The specificity rules are defined by the implementation and lack a formal semantics.

The lack of formal rules governing which method will be selected for a given set of arguments has made me somewhat reluctant to use Julia for large projects. Since everything in the language works off of multiple dispatch, it's a little disconcerting to have it governed by vague rules.

However, the manual [0] says that when two methods of equal specificity are present, "Julia raises a MethodError rather than arbitrarily picking a method". The manual doesn't discuss the 5 special cases in the linked PDF, though, as far as I can tell. So did the dispatch / specificity rules get formalized at some point? Or is concern about having formal rules governing dispatch unwarranted?

For a time in the 90s it was very popular. It was often paired with AOLserver for web applications. And it became a glue/scripting language for some heavyweight programs like EDA tools. I mean it was popular enough to somewhat ironically just pull it into the python standard library.

People have actually used infrared to stimulate neurons directly. The mechanism is a little weird, and may be a combination of direct heating (e.g., causing chemical reactions to run faster) and activation of temperature-dependent ion channels.

Radio is probably much too fast--the time constant of a neuron is on the order of 10ms, so unless you're pumping a lot of instantaneous power into the neuron, the net effect is likely to be zero.

It's my opinion that getting everyone to vote is the best option - there is a whole big chunk of the electorate that's quite uninformed but any attempt to narrow down the pool of eligible voters seems quite likely to fall into authoritarianism to me.

We've got a lot of historical evidence about what happens if you let only people of certain skin colors, gender or wealth vote and all of those approaches were eventually rejected in favor of a universal voting system[1]. Democracy seems like our best bet for a fair and just government and I'm strongly in favor of having better representation of the actual beliefs of the citizenry - even if they're folks I disagree with.

1. Assuming you ignore American oddities like the electoral college, ignore tacitly socially accepted voter suppression and accept that minimum voting ages should be a thing (which I'm still pretty "meh" on personally but whatever).
