I think the quality of the human connection is important. The Dodo Bird Verdict[1] states that the relationship and connection between a therapist and client is the true healing factor. Indeed, a strong causal factor on client outcomes is the attitude of the therapist; whether they are warm, caring and genuine. The therapist-client relationship accounted for 7% of the variability in outcome, whereas adherence to a specific treatment accounted for 1%.

On an individual basis, the specific treatment matters, but statistically the human connection matters more. Your standard “what did you do on the weekend” friendship won’t cut it.

The hyperbole contributes nothing of any value to the conversation. While folks are definitely making good counter-points, I think the question needed to be asked.
Very cool. Wish it were open source though.

The catch probably has something to do with vampires.
I get what you're driving at, and I agree somewhat, but I think most of the men I know struggled at least at some point with understanding those rules. A lot of us can probably recall some embarrassing missteps in our teens/twenties while we figured these things out; I certainly can. Once you figure out the rules you might not be part of that group for much longer.
Oh that's the "justification". Thank you for proving my point. Wonder what the "Iranian hackers" justification was. As I said, switch the sides and you'll see how silly it all is.

Not that I'd believe anything from the washingtonpost but I certainly wouldn't believe anything geopolitically related, especially related to countries like iran, venezuela, etc. But fun stuff.

Both links you provided appear to be for the same article, just from two different sources. There is nothing in the article about Fauci "urging" anyone to lift the ban on gain of function research. He did defend the research being done in China and the ban was lifted by NIH in December 2017, though.

Also, calling people who downvoted you "idiots" is not the road towards meaningful discussion.

Laser Cutting Machine For Sandpaper – for aerospace, automotive,and sports
The dust extraction of the sanding process is always one of the most important parts of the automotive market, the most common disc 5’’ or 6’’ ensures superior dust and debris extraction. The traditional cutting way is rotary die-cutting, the tools cost thousands of dollars and these dies wore out really fast which makes the cost of the production extremely high. How to realize lower cost production is a challenge, our high-speed multi heads GALVO laser, change the die-cutting history.

Are there issues with using GPU drivers from several different GPU vendors on the same machine? I heard that from some people that were into the crypto-mining scene, and was curious if that carries over to all potential GPU cluster applications... Thanks for answering!
No, they are different people. "The soccer mom doesn’t want to say she’s for Trump because she doesn’t want you to think she’s one of them." Just like "there are a lot more people who like professional wrestling than admit it. There are lots of fans who don’t want you to think they’re like the other people who like professional wrestling."

See Rayiner's link upthread, to a thread several years ago that quotes your analysis directly and, to my mind, pretty convincingly refutes it.

My point on this thread is simply to remind people that we already knew going into the discussion that you believe there was a $200 billion broadband scandal. Since the point of the thread itself is to debate whether that's true, simply restating your premise doesn't move the discussion forward.

What would be neat is if you could click through Rayiner's thread, read it, and then rebut that.

No, he's just telling you that your anecdote is sad but does not at all reflect the impact cannabis has on most people, while the effects of alcohol are widely known, studied and quantified. We know how many people die of alcohol poisoning and we know how many die from cannabis overdose (0). We also know quite well how many die while doing stupid shit drunk and how many (much much less) people die while doing stupid shit high on pot.
In the early days of YouTube you could upload FLVs that were served directly to users (this was back when their only playback format was Flash Video).

I dunno if marijuana smoke is more benign, but I wouldn't be surprised if one is much more harmful than the other. they are different substances. wouldn't you rather be at a barbecue than next to a trash fire?

Yep couldn’t agree more. Dropbox just keep getting worse. However at least the iPad app seems to crash less often nowadays.
That would break quite a few workflows.

For example, if I were to 'git clone' a project currently on gitlab, create a github repo for it, add that origin, and push... Well, that pushes commits authored by every single person who ever committed to that other repository. Do I have to make all of them re-push only their own commits in order? Can robots not mirror repositories anymore? What about commits authored by people without github accounts?

There's also the obvious issues of me merging a coworker's commit into my branch, or cherry-picking, or rebasing a third-party contributor's commits to update them before merge.

I think the case of "push an existing repo with N authors to a new repo" is a really compelling reason though for why that sort of "you can only push commits with your email" thing would not work.
Throw opposition to voter ID laws (you know, the kind every country in Europe has) on the trash-heap with it. At this point Republicans mostly believe the Democrats have or are in the process of stealing the election, and they collectively will have little faith in presidential elections going forward until robust voter ID laws are put into effect. The arguments against these laws are underwhelming, given how often you need to show ID for other things, and lead Republicans to suspect Progressives want to stuff ballot boxes.
You can discourage while still having it legal. In fact, it's easier to detect people with problems if it's legalized, since they lose the incentive to hide the habit and it becomes easier for them to seek help when they feel like it. It's also easier for them to come clean and resume a normal life; otherwise, once you're tainted with felony, all the incentives are to fall back even worse on substance abuse.

If there is one thing we've learnt from the heroin years, is that these things have to be faced in the open, and that addicts are sick people, not bad people. You don't send sick people to jail, you send them to a hospital.
I think it was really obvious up front that Larrabee wasn't going to have enough graphics-specific hardware on the chip for it to have a chance at being a competitive GPU for consumer gaming. At best, they were aiming for a heavily compute-oriented chip that could also do graphics, but for graphics tasks it was going to be heavily reliant on brute forcing the problem with a large, expensive chip. So a bit further toward the compute-oriented end of the spectrum than any of the GPU microarchitectures than any of the GPUs AMD or NVIDIA have shipped. And it ended up that it was only viable for compute tasks if they stripped out the rest of the graphics hardware, and x86 compatibility wasn't enough to overcome NVIDIA's lead in GPGPU software support.

If Intel could have brought Larrabee to market with fabrication two nodes ahead of NVIDIA/AMD, it probably could have been successful. But Intel has a pretty solid track record of being unable to maintain two competitive microarchitectures at the same time, and I don't think they've ever quite been two full nodes ahead.
I'm on the opposite side of this. Tobacco is the absolute worst lingering smell. It's not even a close comparison and never was. I think combustion should be less widespread for sure. I don't think we'll see mass switches to vaping without legality though.

Even now you can get flower vaporizers but it seems not all that many people know about them.

I was fortunate enough to have Randy as a teacher at UVa. He changed my life. Here is a note I sent him when I received tenure in computer science:
---------
Hi,

I don't know if you would remember me, but I took a data structures class from you back in the late '80s, when you were a new professor at UVa. I was living in the Monroe Hill Residential College, and recall that you came to at least one dinner there as well as the intramural inner-tube water polo championship game our team played in.

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that taking that class ended up changing my life - slowly, but very positively. I was a (very bad) electrical engineering student at UVa, but your class got me hooked on computers. I initially did some programming, then went into the Army after undergrad. I found myself enjoying programming for fun, and after a few years went back to grad school, choosing CS over law school just because of my enjoyment of it. I was originally a master's student, but found a good advisor and liked research, and eventually got my PhD. I ended up taking a faculty position at , but disliked the midwest and large department, so after a couple of years there moved home to .

I recently received tenure and a promotion to Associate Professor of Computer Science at University, and am certain that I ended up here, doing what I love and loving what I do, because of your class. Here is what I wrote in my tenure statement about it:

"The positive example who most influenced my attitude to teaching was Randy Pausch, now at Carnegie Mellon University. I try to show my enthusiasm for teaching and for the material as much as he did. He related complex computer-science topics to real-world examples. He often had students perform amusing examples in class to demonstrate algorithms, and he kept the material at an appropriate level. Most importantly, he cared about students doing the best they could and was both challenging and supportive throughout the semester. I challenge my students to succeed, and work hard to be as supportive as he was."

So thanks! You made a big difference in my life, and I appreciate it very much.
This site had another shitpost recently, I forget what it was but it was strongly ideological just like this one.

None of what they say in that post appeals to me. I use Github to get stuff done, mostly work-related. I don't care if some YouTube related crap can or cannot be posted there. If you do, by all means go to Gitlab or elsewhere. No one forces you to use Github.

First, what on earth does a likelihood of 2, or -3, mean? The graph is a bit puzzling.

Second, even those who master those "subtle social cues" (which have the important feature of plausible deniability) have to learn them at some point, and nowadays the price of error is extreme.

So, just as airline pilots "fly" in simulators, I suspect that someday people will have to spend time with something several generations improved over current sex robots learning to have a relationship before trying it with an actual human.
care to elaborate? that sounds like exactly the way laws ought to be formed in this country: people placing justness over the impact to their personal lives.
Brilliant. I know jokes are generally frowned upon here but this one had me cracking up
He spoke at my CS commencement right before he passed, was inspiring then and continues to inspire to this day. Coincidentally this is the book of the week in my book club so I've been re-reading it.

The Last Lecture book can be read as a series of short stories and often I just pick it up and read one quick section. My favorite is where he argued with his mother about his name. Yes, his name. He didn't like Randolph and protested, especially by being burdened by an extra "olph" <joke about a bout a computer scientist named Rand here>. Their negotiation ended with "R." but when his mother would send letters addressed to him at college as "Randolph' he would mail it back, unopened, marked "no such person at this address". As he got older, he recognized that "I'm so appreciative of my mother on so many fronts that if she wants to burden me with an unnecessary "olph" whenever she's around, I'm more than happy to put up with it. Life's too short. Somehow, with the passage of time, and the deadlines that life imposes, surrendering became the right thing to do."
The fundamental tech is hit, which is open source. GitHub provides the hosting and project management features on top.
I'm sure given enough selection pressure virus's will find another vector of transmission, I don't think this will do anything except harm the ecosystem as a whole.
The iGPUs are great, but low-end discrete GPUs are largely ignored.

The use case is for people who want HEDT CPUs but don't need high-end GPU power. Getting a modern low-power GPU allows you to still support modern codecs, modern display adapters, and high resolution displays.

> How would you design an secure online voting system?

You don't. Anything done "online" simply verifies that "some human at a keyboard" has the requisite "secret" -- but cannot verify that the correct human who should legally have the secret is indeed the one entering the secret.

I.e. Bob gives Joe his "voting secret" and now Joe can log in as "Joe" and vote his legal vote, and also log in as "Bob" and cast a second vote, all while the online system believes "Bob" is casting that second vote.

Also, if you want to maintain the secrecy of the ballot then you simply can not perform online voting, because with the machines there can always be some trail to trace between "ballot X" and "Fred" to show who cast that ballot.
Well, for any sinlge vote, I guess it could be miscounted.

I guess the thinking is that if an election is within .5% there can be a recount. And then each polling station (county?) provides numbers separately, so to push the vote a huge amount you'd need multiple polling stations to lie to move the vote more than .5% (as I understand it, not an expert).

That said, I'd love if the full process was disclosed somewhere for public scrutiny. There should be numerous safeguards (e.g. two random people counting the same stack of ballots) in a good system.

Well, you don't necessarily have to do those things. See for instance Apple's XNU Kernel. :)

I don't think the statute of limitations applies once you've been found guilty. That applies to the time limit for prosecution, not the time limit for executing asset seizure that was declared forfeit. It is always forfeit, you don't get to protect your ill-gotten gains if you manage (or someone receiving them manages) to hide them long enough. They still have a seizure order on them if, presumably the FBI, can figure out how to get them.
Wow, I live in Minneapolis and love this paper, but did not know it was dead. Sad.
> why isn't it open-source?

why does anything needs to be open source in the first place?

Open-sourcing something should add value. Github doesn't see any value in doing so (and i would agree). It's not like github has any secret ingredient that makes github source special - gitlab has replicated most of github's functionality, and so has many open hosting platforms.

The value of github is mindshare, rather than anything code wise.

I admit that I'm guilty of pretty much what I accused those music databases of — passing along unvetted secondhand information...

But let me try: An ideal data source has a traceable provenience to a reputable authority. E.g.

https://iswcnet.cisac.org is in the business of establishing songwriting royalties.

The Discography of American Historical Recordings https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/basic/search
has very sound scholarship behind it and documents their sources (usually ledgers kept by the recording studios).

The Encylopedic Discography of Cuban Music https://latinpop.fiu.edu/discography.html seems to be compiled mostly by one scholar, but he seems to have an incredibly detailed knowledge of the field.

Musicbrainz, in contrast, is a crowdsourced collection that is a mile wide and an inch deep. Within literally seconds I found a bogus artist entry: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/729f9e2f-c993-40b6-ae20-bd21b...

I'm willing to bet that the the last album shown for James Carter is not by him: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/a8880ecc-10d8-4492-b17e-02715...

This one has a typo in 13, and 12 is completely wrong: https://musicbrainz.org/release/81c40619-26b9-421a-906a-4ef0...

And all of this is just a few random checks. To be sure, the sheer volume is not without value to start a search (Quantity has a quality of its own, as they say), but it should probably not be taken as a sole source of authority without a backup source, and one would have to be careful that the backup source did not, in turn, take musicbrainz as its source.
If you didn't want it to be sexist, you would say people instead of men. That's the sexist part. I know plenty of women who are aroused by visual porn.
Toy in the sense that it’s not a significant contribution to the open source community.

I don't have a mansion but I can reasonably assert, in a productive conversation, how I might secure such a property.
I think decompilers are so good, that any binary or pcode can be reverse-engineered by anyone that wants.

I generally like to open-source all my work. I'm working on a closed-source app, right now, but I think that it should be made open-source, once the embargo has passed. The backend is already open-source, as is the SDK.

I like to use the MIT license, which says that you can use the code how you like, but don't come whining to me, if you pooch it.

But I will, sometimes use a license that says "Here's the code for you to look at. It's not authorized for copying."

I think that it's a good idea to have it available. I seriously doubt there's anything in my stuff that is so proprietary that I'm afraid it will get ripped off. I do the same stuff everyone else does; maybe not as cleverly.

I just feel that it's good to show folks what's under the hood, if at all possible.
Looks like they're going to be pretty accurate with presidential electoral college and popular vote overall, but off on the margins within each state and the senate and house.
