> I don't feel that you're responding to me in good faith. More to that, I still feel like you're responding to your imagined version of my response, and not the actual one. It feels to me like you're creating an argument when I was merely disagreeing and presenting my reason why. I don't really understand how the tone of this chat became so aggressive through you.

My sentiments to you exactly. You hyperfocused on the term "reformation" when it was very clear from the context and the previous 5 - 6 paragraphs I had written on the subject, that it was intended as a substitute for "self improvement", "self betterment", "taking accountability for one's actions". You decided to somehow interpret it as an authoritarian argument, and deliberately twisted my argument into something that you could then argue against. It was utterly fascinating and simultaneously irritating to witness how deft you were at doing it, hence the sarcasm.

The argument was literally just about how everything you do in public happens to affect the people it reaches. And people should be accountable for the effects of their actions in that public (or private) space.
You might be right with respect to non-techie users. But, it's not about whether it merely works. It's about what we could be doing with modern hardware if we used it as efficiently as old software had to use its hardware.

What kinds of wild things could we accomplish on this hardware if we weren't bogged down in gigabytes and teraflops of bloat?
If you see samy.pl, you know it's going to be good.

So this effectively means that you can't bind anything any more on a machine that maybe runs a web browser.
A fat jar dropped on a server doesn’t just run. You need something else to run the process, restart it if it crashes, manage log output, etc.

There is no evidence to tie that hack to this leak. The Washington Post admits as much[1]. And respectable journalist Adam Housley reported on Hunter Biden's lawyers asking for the laptops back[2].

EDIT: also, I linked to a Fox News reporter talking about the FBI and DOJ admitting they have no reason to think this is a Russian disinformation campaign.

They often do. But the long lifetime and extremely focused role of this equipment means it rarely changes.

And I'm not sure the ballistic missile submarine computing market is ripe for disruption, or that less than a few billion is a reasonable cost target for a nuclear powered stealth multi megaton missile silo.
The bits are in a matrix, with sense lines in silicon vertically and row select lines in metal horizontally. When a row select line is activated, 128 transistors are turned on and each sense line is connected to the single capacitor in that row. Thus, 128 bits are read in parallel.

Thus, each horizontal row select line is connected to 128 different transistor gates, in other words connected to 64 of the diagonal poly 2 regions.

The confusing part is that the rows zig-zag a bit to improve the density. In other words, the physical rows in the photo don't quite match the electrical/logical rows. Look at the photo and imagine pulling it apart like a zipper. Then shift the middle part up half a step so the capacitors line up. Then the logical rows are all in a straight line. Hopefully that explanation isn't entirely confusing. In brief, the two capacitors with the same poly 2 diagonal are in the same electrical row, so they are selected together (along with 126 other capacitors).

I'll probably write more about this, so let me know if there is a clearer way to explain this :-)
Seems to me both countries would be better off spending even more than they are on improving people's living, and less on killing strategies.
Can't this be said of literally any car? A badly repaired car could cause a 12 car pile up and kill 17 people because the breaks or power steering failed at the wrong time. This actually seems tremendously more likely than the scenario you name. It seems like Tesla's actions are a pretty transparent effort to control the market to maximize profit.
Another option is to not waste the heat, and use thermal storage. A well-insulated vat of salt is cheap, can be made arbitrarily large, and will hold heat over a 24 hour period with reasonable efficiency. So you store the heat during below-average demand and use it to generate extra electricity during above-average demand.

But the same solution also makes solar interesting again when it's used in combination, because you can store heat from nuclear during the times when solar is generating and then use it during the times when it isn't.
Am I safe with "scrub in all fragment reassemble" in my PF config on my router box?
1. 25% equity for 200k EUR (=800k valuation) is a bad deal. This is the hottest ever seed-stage funding environment, even in Europe. People are raising at 5m+ valuations on a slide deck alone. If you were to raise from professional venture capitalists (angels/funds), even at this early stage you would most likely get a much better deal.

2. Hold on... a four-way 25% equity split? You mean you've built a product from scratch, and now you want to give away 75% of the value to a bunch of random guys? I wouldn't do that.

3. And you don't even get to be the CEO/Chairman? The money guy is going to be a part-time CEO? That's a recipe for failure.

Run, don't walk. This is a terrible deal. You seem to have built something of value and you're about to throw it away. Bootstrap your business for a couple of months -- build a product, validate there's interest for it -- and then seek real funding.

Usually you can get all the intel/network about the "industry" that you need by spending less than 2% equity on advisors, or by spending a couple hours with a knowledgeable paid consultant.

Indeed many Apple products from the Ive era show a lot of resemblance to some of Rams' stuff.
Many people on reddit/twitch are stating that this ad lead into streams you are not subscribed to is driving down their views and you have the other side where people are just closing any stream they get an ad in.

I am that second camp, sometimes a small streamer is out there playing a game I am looking for I end up closing the stream if an ad loads. Using multiple tabs I have tried to time it and its all over the place, some streams netting an ad within each ten minute block and others with bigger gaps. Now I do question the logic of some ads, you can get condom ads on the oddest channels.

Partnered streamers seem immune to the ads or I just get lucky on them

Twitch Turbo, which does not contribute to steamers, will allow you to not see any ads but it only benefits twitch.
Perhaps, but not my case anyway - I would never throw away anything which is not actual garbage anyway. Whenever I feel like replacing something I do my best to find somebody who wants it, no matter how long it takes and how little they pay.
I just investigated and it seems my 100W lamp is actually only 35W but they lie about power usage because it's supposed to be equivalent brightness to a 100W incandescent bulb. Should have coped it when I noticed there was no cooling system (though it does get very hot). Either way the lamp I use is a Black Shark B07QVGNGM8 and even at 35W I can confirm it's still blindingly bright.
As a developer of a native Mac email client, I sincerely hope that this is true. At least in the Apple ecosystem, there are new technologies like SwiftUI and Mac Catalyst that should make this easier, particularly for the army of iOS developers looking to bring apps to the Mac.

Before starting my app, I did briefly consider going the cross-platform route, and I realize that it's possible to build a decent app that way. But personally, I could always tell when I used one. Little things like swipe gestures and drag and drop didn't quite work right. The extra polish, consistency, and speed of going native is so nice for things you use all day every day. With the shift to remote work, people might notice this extra 5-10% of polish more than they did a year ago.
I totally get your perspective... but you're clearly not a fan of either team involved.

AI for controlling a moving motor vehicle, maybe we should be extremely cautious about our testing and use of AI.
As a techie I mostly do not care as long as it works either, if I am not writing it myself (and sometimes even then but I care more now than years ago). However; things do not work a lot of the times; my wife is a writer, almost all my friends are non technical and they complain a lot about how crap everything is. And when I check the culprit is always lack of memory and it is always chrome (the browser and in Electron) that is eating all of it. It is miserable imho; techies can pretend the enduser does not care; maybe they should ask.

I know how to fix it for myself (I have scripts to do it automatically) but most people do not and just reboot when the system becomes too unresponsive. Not so great for 2020.
Doesn’t Wayno already have level 5 autonomous vehicles operating in the Phoenix area? So far they’ve had about 65,000 driverless miles[1] (and 6 million miles with safety drivers). That number should increase pretty quickly now that they’re scaling up their service. So far it seems like the main problem is that they get rear-ended by inattentive human drivers.

This was an interesting paper, and I read over it while thinking about implementing ropes for https://www.oilshell.org/ (which would be a huge change, affecting the entire interpreter, since all shell scripts mostly deal with strings)

What surprised me is that Ruby template engines make heavy use of string concatenation? Like 'a' + 'b' ?

The generated Ruby fragment from ERB makes heavy use ofstring concatenation, which is generally favorable to ropes. Theright-most graph of Figure 5 shows that TruffleRuby ropes are 9.4× faster than MRI, rendering around 870 000 templates per second.

I would have thought the idiom for writing a template engine is to use something like Java's StringBuffer, or the Python pattern of appending immutable strings to a list, and joining them at the end. So you avoid a ton of intermediate strings that way. (And I have written a template engine myself in both Python and JS, and that is the technique I used, and it's plenty fast)

Would that technique speed up ERB, or is there something I'm missing? Not to say it's not worthwhile to still do ropes, but it seems like low hanging fruit.

-----

Though what turned me off of ropes is that for many workloads, most strings are small. And small strings are often smaller than records of pointers (and they have more locality). If I have a pointer to a string, a start offset, and an end offset, on machines that's 8 + 4 + 4 = 16 bytes, which is already approaching the size of an HTML tag or two. And a GC has to chase that pointer (in my situation), whereas a GC can stop if it's a blob of bytes.

Not to say it's not a useful technique of course ... I think it does make sense as an optimization when you have existing workloads to measure, but I was hesistant to do it starting from scratch.

That's exactly where shit gets really complicated ^^

1) The software couldn't be relicensed in the first place because there are parts for which they don't own the copyright. Can't relicense something you don't worn. The attempt to change the license of the software is void at best.

2) The AGPL is contagious, forcing all future contributions to be AGPL as well. Their claim that contributions started being under another license at some point is void, because these contributions were necessarily under AGPL.

Notice there's an interesting conundrum in how the two elements interact and create a deadlock. It's on purpose, the GPL/AGPL is meant to prevent relicensing.

It's copyright violations all over the place. There's gotta be a thousand and one ways to make them accountable. You could personally start redistributing/reselling the software assuming it's AGPL so you get some grounds and go after them for saying it's not.

I wish inverse distance scaling worked better in other domains - e.g. weighted nearest neighbor estimators seem to not generally perform better than unweighted ones.
"What is striking to me is the enormous waste of resources and engineering talent that went in to destructive monstrosities on all sides."

To me, this is like looking at our ability to treat trauma patients and saying "what a waste - if those people weren't hurt in the first place, these great minds could work on something else".

Well, sure. And if gravity didn't exist people wouldn't fall and get hurt. But it does exist. And so does war.
It's part of GDPR too. Though probably impossible to implement since people simply dont know why ML systems make their decisions.

Yes, I have seen that. The author of the article has also posted a refutation of the counterpoints, with no substantive replies by Kinkajoe.

The overarching point that guzey makes is "the book is not scientifically sound, despite Matthew Walker plainly stating in the introduction that it would be". Arguing that Walker's claims are "hyperbolic, [but] within reason", that it's ok because "it is a book intended for the public" or that all this is "justified by the important message he is trying to convey" is completely besides the point! That may all be true and not change the needle one bit on "scientifically accurate".

Making up unsubstantiated claims to ""convey a message"" in a book and then later citing the book in your own scientific papers is the exact opposite of academic integrity. Hence my advice to take Walker's work with an appropriate grain of salt.
good point. but real-time data is probably a bit more valuable.
There's a device called Palette, I think, that can do this on the fly. You hook it up between your filament(s) and your printer, and send it your print as well. It basically looks at your print and determines how much filament is needed for each segment, and then splices together a few different inputs into one continuous thread. I don't know how well it works or how difficult it is to get setup, but the concept does exist.
I've tried it a few times. The installation was very strange I remember having to reinstall a few times in order for it to work correctly.
That's not a rebuttal, that's collection of all loony conspiracy theories pinning the blame on British for "inventing" the caste system. Disingenuous stuff, that should not be peddled on here.
That does seem like a good bet. Humans that can live tens of thousands of years would probably have to have a completely different view of time and the universe, and may have a better shot of seeing the stars too.
And the follow-up joke is that Ctrl-s in a terminal emulator doesn't save anything but instead sends XOFF, which temporarily blocks further output.
> Why a self argument on every function?

A self argument is on methods because then, from the inside, methods are identical to functions, rather than functions with additional implicit magic.

Also because it's a function member of the class with exactly that argument pattern; calling instance.method(...) is just syntax sugar for ClassOfInstance.method(instance, ...).

This also makes Python handling of unbound methods a lot cleaner than, say, Ruby.
Sorry for not being clear. I don’t think people starve and vivisect mice for fun. And I agree that there being money in it is much of the moment to moment motivation for the moment by moment steps that are necessary for it to happen. Putting a happy p-hacked face on the process is how ordinary people rationalize what they are doing as something other than what it is.

The business of cutting apart animals and looking at the insides claim revealed knowledge isn’t new. The Romans called it “haruspicy” and also built wealthy bureaucratic institutions in service of narratives useful to the powerful.

Contemporary interest in fasting research is helpful to those who find advantage in moralizing upon obesity. Intermittent fasting is a virtue reserved for those with food security. It’s attractive to people whose socio-economic status insures that going hungry is a choice and a display of will power. Not weakness. The conclusion that it makes such people smarter is self serving.

The preponderance of health evidence is that starvation is detrimental to human health and creates long term cognitive problems. But lab mice are an industrial product and labs are industrial institutions and the money keeps flowing so long as the results are acceptable to those providing it. That’s the way it has been for millennia.

This is very cool, but it seems like it requires an egregious router bug. Why would a router consider a packet to be a legitimate SIP REGISTER when it occurs as part of a TCP connection which has already carried an HTTP header?

Is the story here that ALG is a crude hack, which works by naively looking at each packet, without trying to parse the whole stream, and so is vulnerable to this kind of confusion? If so, there are presumably endless varieties of ways to fool it.

Here's my understanding. I'm not a lawyer and don't know a lot about copyright or derived works either, but the "creativity" thing comes up in discussions sometimes.

If you give me a sequence of integers from 1 to 1000 (which is not a creative work and therefore not copyrightable), and I selectively delete some of the integers such that the differences between adjacent numbers contains a fun message in ASCII, and publish that sequence, the result is copyright because those particular deletions add a creative element.

But if I just deleted every alternate number in the sequence, that wouldn't be copyrightable because it's not creative. (Although you can imagine some scenario when doing so might be creative, it would need some reason why it was.)

Basically, if Dev B does a change that passes some threshold of creativity, then they have a claim. If they just go through and delete all the blank lines and reformat in a standard way, they probably don't.

In your example, I think it would depend on which 20 lines and whether they were trivial changes to figure out.

In terms of price and quality there is just a huge gap between IKEA and other furniture sources (at least in the Western countries I've lived in). Basically, it's virtually impossible to find products of similar function at the same price, and even at double the price it's a toss-up whether the quality will be better than IKEA. Sure, if you can afford to spend a fortune on furniture you can obviously find better stuff, but most of us can't.

For example, my 15-year-old IKEA leather couch has gone through three moves already, and is basically as good as new. I could afford it in my first job out of college. The Billy bookcases look a bit janky sagging under the weight, but are holding up even without extra support.

He's Jewish. What a twist, looks like hate doesn't come from a race but rather a face.

edit: it also comes from individuals who harbor hateful downvotes.

My poetry is probably unclear. I just mean that a Jewish person being a neo-nazi means that you can get hateful people of all races--ultimately hate is not partaken by individuals in some group, but rather it seems that every group has some similar distribution of hateful people. Thought it had some significant insight, but I guess poetry isn't really for hackers, huh?
I don't have the same length of perspective you do, but this has been my experience as well. I chat with buddies from old employers, and they still tease me about stuff I put into place 10 years ago that I would have bet good money wouldn't live 10 months.
