Disclosure: I work at AWS and this is my personal opinion.

I've seen growing levels of AWS contribution back to upstream projects over the past four years. Teams start out by operating a piece of software at scale, whether it is Redis, Kubernetes, etc. After they have operated it for a while they discover the bugs or performance issues, or customers of the service complain about something. At that point the team now has enough real world experience with that software to begin to contribute back to upstream.

It takes time: to learn the ins and outs of the software well enough to know where and what improvements should be made, to understand the software's design and history well enough not to make bad suggestions or contributions that were already determined to be dead ends in the past, and to earn the approval of the community and existing maintainers enough to get significant contributions accepted in the first place.
I'm not buying it. The lower round-trip efficiency of hydrogen means you only use it where batteries can't do the job (chemicals, air/sea travel, long-term grid storage). Batteries and hydrogen might both be competitive in certain niches (long-haul trucking, short-haul air/water, some train routes). As batteries continue to improve, they will actually cut into the addressable market for hydrogen, at least in mobility (chemicals and long-term storage are safe though).

For funsies, I put the numbers from NY Times into Excel to play with on the final 7 states that are undecided/close (AZ, GA, MI, PA, NV, NC, WI).

The unknowns really are the amount of leftover ballots and what goes to each presidential candidate. A changeable variable on my sheet is the percentage of remaining that goes to each candidate.

There are a few headlines that indicate Dems get more in absentee ballots but no actual data so 50/50 seems fair but is inaccurate. Especially if the missing ballots are in counties that are historically one way or another. Six of the seven remaining states are less than 100k ballot difference when you split the remaining ballots 50/50.

You don't need a real time data feed to make projections. The NY Times site indicates the caveats with each state - like they haven't counted absentee, etc. so you can tinker with the numbers.

You don’t even have to go that far back - consider that children in the 1700s and 1800s could join the British Navy at age 11 or 12 and become an officer at the ripe old age of 15 or thereabout.
Yea. Tim Ferriss has put a lot of effort (and money) into this type of research. He has brought on several guests on his podcast to discuss this subject. He has also talked about his past depression which, I believe, drives his passion towards this work.
yea that was me defeating a delete bot :)
I view it as an attempt to explore the question "can a competitive GPU architecture be built as an extension of a mainstream CPU architecture?". And they tried it and it didn't work out, which suggests the answer is "No". But I don't fault them for trying – a willingness to try out different areas of the design space, even test them in the market, is a positive thing. Of course, you can see why a vendor whose major product is a mainstream CPU architecture might have a special interest in exploring that particular design question, but it still was a valid question to explore, even if they didn't get the result they were hoping for. We can learn as much from failures as from successes.

But more to your point: are you sure you know better than the people entering arrangements if they are exploited or not? Are you sure you are taking into consideration all their particular situation and their current life trade offs to take their decision for them? Are you sure you are so smart and all knowing that you absolutely know what this way their life will be better in the long term?

Secondly, are you sure there are no drawbacks and downsides for the society when you take away people's options through the power of law? No unexpected results or side effects? No historical precedents where this attitude backfired?

Finally, are you sure you are fighting a good cause and not helping someone else’s plans? Have you asked who and why wrote AB5? Have you asked how many exceptions it came with and how many more where added afterwards? Have you wondered if this is even proper governance?

But, a fitting homage to Emacs then:

'A cocky novice once said to Stallman: “I can guess why the editor is called Emacs, but why is the justifier called Bolio?”. Stallman replied forcefully, “Names are but names, ‘Emack & Bolio's’ is the name of a popular ice cream shop in Boston-town. Neither of these men had anything to do with the software.”

His question answered, yet unanswered, the novice turned to go, but Stallman called to him, “Neither Emack nor Bolio had anything to do with the ice cream shop, either.'

I'd say that is only sexism if you consider it biologically wrong. If you believe that it's a correct description of an effect caused by genetics, then it would be descriptive instead.

But what your comment nicely illustrates is that whether someone considers something sexist depends on whether or not they believe it to be true. As a result, people who are unwilling to accept certain objective truths might consider descriptive science to be sexist.

If I say "women are biologically different which causes them to have different skills", that can be argued both ways. Some people might focus on lactation and agree. Others might think about mental skills and strongly disagree.

It's funny to consider RISC-V in the light of Larrabee. RISC-V was conceived as a multi-purpose extensible ISA to unify the toolspace for MCUs, DSPs, CPUs, GPUs, etc.

Larrabee wanted to leverage the toolspace of the x86 ISA, but that same ISA complicated their architecture and made it nonviable.
Some things in typical medicine have their roots in unconventional medicine.

And don't eat shaggy mane and drink alcohol - it will mimic antabuse.

One early study of psychedelics used niacin as the placebo.

The $105k-ish number is just the amount of foreign income that is exempted (hence, upon which one would owe no taxes). Technically, anyone subject to US tax law is supposed to file a return every year, even if no tax is owed and no refund due.

Take a look at their forecast from a different perspective. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-election-forecast/

If you scroll down to the path to victory, this is how I read it: The cusp of the election lies in whether or not the following states flip - Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada. Sure looks like they hit the nail on the head with regard to WHERE the uncertainty was. Maybe that was obvious, maybe every outlet had that same list. But before the election started, we had 6 states to pay extra attention to, and as of right now only one of those is called for certain (Florida) and one is being debated (Arizona.) For what I looked to the forecast to learn, it delivered.

Not really. This has been going on for decades. Examples: early web hosts running the LAMP stack: Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP. Eventually people put an admin UI on top (control panels, like Plesk and cPanel.) The core functionality is all free software. The value is not having to configure and manage all that stuff yourself.
> Do you have any examples of contemporary issues where an infusion of information has triggered a successful policy reassement and compromise? If not an active success then some areas where it's possible?

At a group level? No. At an individual level? Yes. The problems are presented by the nature of the groups competing for mindshare, and I don't know a good solution for that. That doesn't mean that we can't have substantive and productive conversations as individuals though, which is what I'm talking about here. It's important to accept that the other party may have data you haven't considered yourself though. This isn't a call to "show them why they're wrong" as much as a note that actual discussion requires an exchange of ideas and data and an acceptance that there may be things you don't know that can change your own mind as much as the mind of others.

> I'd love to believe this but years of following local, state and federal politics have disabused me of this notion. Especially watching the Obama administration try that approach over and over unsuccessfully.

> Of course drugs feel good, that's why people do them.

Drugs can feel good, but that isn't universal and that isn't the goal of these drug-assisted therapies.

Often psychedelics can be scary and anxiety producing. An introspective trip often isn't "fun" but can lead to personal insight -- the internet is littered with such testimonials. That is the hope of these therapies, not to give the person a joy ride for a few hours.
In the correct setting, psychedelics can critically alter one's view on the world and themselves. This is very powerful, but very unknown. We must tread on light ground when approaching these substances. So, more research must be done under the right trip settings, but not in haste.
True. The part that really confuses me is that they’re perhaps the clearest example of cognitive dissonance. They’ll literally say taxes are evil (common word they use) and still go work for the government. Only one person, when I presented them with this conflict, chose to leave federal employment. The rest have just looked at me like I was an alien and kept talking.
Oh, okay. So, just don't be poor, right?

More seriously, money laundering happens in some insane ways when you start talking about seriously rich people and avoiding taxes. Take a look at the modern art market these days. There's a lot of "Buy $WORK for $PRICE; donate $WORK to $MUSEUM for $TAX_WRITEOFF," where $TAX_WRITEOFF >>> $PRICE. There's a bit more to it, but that's the gist of how it works.

Do you have a source for this? This isn't something I remember reading in my prevote research anywhere.
You're absolutely correct. Especially in the low-power segment, which AMD and nvidia have really ignored lately.

If you want a <=75 watt GPU, which happens to be the limit for the PCIe slot without an external power connector, you have very limited options. For nVidia, the 1650 is the only modern part that will fit the bill. For AMD, you have to reach back to the RX 500 series, but good luck finding one. They're extremely uncommon even among the lower-end 500 series, as many of them require an external connector anyways.

AMD do have lower-powered "workstation" offerings, but they're so expensive that it's hard to imagine putting one in a workstation voluntarily. They're also extremely poor performers, to the extent that you might not really see much of a benefit over a Vega iGPU.

The Xe Max is only 25W TDP, which is very attractive if you're hoping to build a passively cooled Linux machine with a low-wattage power supply.

> What the endgame of symbols look like is easy to see in Chinese / Japanese. E.g. "save" 保 consists of a man, a mouth, and a tree. It's about as easy to make sense of as a combination of a square with a cut corner and a rectangle inside it.

Interesting example. It's worth pointing out here that most characters are not composed entirely of meaning-indicating components; there is e.g. a whole series of compounds of 青 which use it solely to indicate the pronunciation of the compound, not to claim that invitations (请) are somehow metaphysically green (青).

But 保 is an exception! Going by wiktionary, it originates as a compound of 人 and 子, both used for the meaning -- protecting is what people do with babies. (Interestingly, the character 仔 exists independently today.) Evolution of the component on the right into 呆 was purely based on shape, and transformed the original meaningful component into something completely arbitrary -- there was no point at which 口 and 木 (as separate from 呆) were conceptually part of the character.

I'll give you my experience as someone who is literally just starting EMDR for bullying. I obviously don't have much to say about its overall efficacy yet, but I will say why I'm hopeful.

One of the initial steps in the process is to think about specific scenarios when you suffered a traumatic event (in my case, bullying) to bring up a physical, emotional response. In my case, even though this happened ~30 years ago, it's not hard for me get into the memory, to feel the same fear response and to start crying. The idea behind EMDR is to essentially "reprogram" you body's physical and neurological responses so that the memory no longer brings up the fearful/depressed automatic nervous system response.

Now, there is a lot of debate over the effectiveness of EMDR, but in my research it seemed most of the debate was really over whether you get just as much benefit doing everything except the eye movements. From my personal perspective, I honestly don't really care that much if the eye movements are the primary factor, but I will say that having to focus on something physical does feel more relaxing to me than just "normal" talk therapy about these experiences in the past. I'm really hopeful that, at least for now, it feels different, in a positive way, than what I've tried in the past.

Whatever you end up deciding, good luck!
