I wonder why The Verge considers Trump to be Twitter's nightmare. Twitter is under no obligation to host Trump's content and could've banned him long ago if they wanted to. Trump is a boon to Twitter, it was an endless outrage machine that generated tons of engagement while giving them a reasonable excuse for not banning him. In reality, Twitter is sad that the era of the "Twitter presidency" is over.
What CD and Redacted.

What CD was a private music tracker. It's hard to describe the range of music that was there. And there was a huge community that really knew its music so you could discover some really cool music through collections and the forum.

Redacted is the tracker that rose up as it's replacement after What CD was shut down.
Haha thanks for the offer but I will have to decline. I am kinda in my own space right now, just tinkering with some ideas.
My main worry is that this is in the US and it's being handled poorly already. A country with great resources where these companies are based and somewhat governed.

I wish but many complex excel sheets on LibreOffice Calc do not function correctly.
On chips from Atmel, ST, NXP, etc. certain peripheral functions can only be mapped to certain pins, with no discernible pattern. For parts like this, a pin planning tool can genuinely be useful when planning a board layout.

It's also nice when this tool generates starter code for you, because every peripheral usually has a slightly different way to enable/configure/map their IO to a pin, and there's a global GPIO control interface, and there's a global power management control interface, and (... etc). You need to set all of the properties correctly simultaneously, or the connection doesn't get made. It's easy to miss one of them and be confused about why your signal isn't showing up.

Nordic's GPIO pin mux allows you to map any peripheral IO to any pin like an FPGA. There's one uniform interface for controlling this mapping, with no weird exceptions. I think that's why they don't have a tool like this -- it just wouldn't be all that useful, because remapping pins is so easy. When you're designing your board, you can, for example, wire up an SPI device to literally any pins you want, and then make it work in software later.

These tools can also useful for setting PLL divider values and configuring clock distribution, because this can get complicated: https://i.stack.imgur.com/e8CQw.png

But Nordic chips also tend to run at one officially supported clock speed, because their Bluetooth stack relies on it. So you don't really need the clock configuration GUI either.
I see, thanks.

Have you seen the compute module though? It exposes a PCIe slot via a separate I/O board. At first I assumed there was some free lanes, but now I see it doesn't exposea usb 3.0 ports, only 2.0.

Still, I would rather have a dedicated bus for storage with usb 2.0 rather than usb 3.0

> I’m not sure why Jack Dorsey should get to decide what’s true just because he invented a social media platform

A social media platform is a publisher, if it encourages news to be disseminated through its networks then it should be held to the same scrutiny.

Some might cry - well this is impossible! I can tweet anything and a stranger can share it, how can I cope with that volume etc... well, then you have to choose:

if you want to be a broadcaster, then you must obey the law and not broadcast propaganda or blatant falsehoods.

If you do not want to censor or edit, then you must stop being a broadcaster, that is you must limit the reach of that material, so that a person may only communicate it to their friend and not further in the same way as an ordinary conversation in person, by telephone, or text message would work.

> literally no democrats count even a little bit as socialists

1. taxation takes the proceeds from the property - the higher the taxes, the more socialist.

2. Rent control.

3. California specifies the gender makeup of boards of directors.

4. Single payer health care.

There are lots more, these are just examples. You can argue that the benefits of such abrogation makes it worthwhile, but they are socialism. The more of them, the more socialist.

> Far from failed, folks there enjoy a general higher standard of living than Americans.

The US then shouldn't be such a popular destination for immigrants looking for opportunity.
You need a big body of work under your belt. Diverse work is good. Also good is going on working on a single project from idea to production to maintaining. Breadth and depth. Technical skills will happen as a consequence.

Experience will also teach you working with people. Verbal warfare is a reality. You need not be hostile, but you will learn how to hold your own. Most people are driven by persuasion and not technical reasoning.

You need to think multiple steps ahead, and act on it, without showing all your cards.

Finally, to yourself, you must be 100% honest. Don't bullshit yourself. Work hard. "Be the hardest working person in the room".

Find happiness in the work rather than the results. Results may or may not go your way.
I saw Malice on Lex Fridman, he seems like a pretty smart guy. Any idea if he has a blog or anything less time consuming than one of his books?

> But there is no way the Biden campaign and professional media whose job it is to suss these things out had no idea.

That's what's so hilarious about reading forums, especially populated with intelligent people. It's like, do you guys really think not a single politician or member of the media can spot the gaping holes in these stories? Or, does it seem plausible that almost half of voters opted for reelecting Trump because they're racist, cult members, etc? But then those questions are answered on the regular in comments and voting.

> The hard part is not falling into Gell-Mann amnesia. We saw this with our own eyes and know they misled us. When the next news story comes out, will we just accept it as fact? Most will, I admit I catch myself struggling with this.

I am really looking forward to the drastic swing we're going to have in narrative, and observing how the masses react to it. Reddit is already well underway, but once the momentum gets going it will be awesome. Will be interesting to see how long it takes before we need to engage in some regretful military intervention in the middle east. Seems like street level terrorism has suddenly reappeared out of nowhere in Europe, seems like a decent enough base for some narrative spinning.

Hi Da Vinci Resolve marketing employee:)
Are you sure?

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2019-2020.html

38 Million infected, 18 Million visits and 22k death due to influence.

Corona now has 10 Million cases 240k death.

I mean, don't get me wrong, even if its 0.02% for 20-49 year old in USA:
1. Thats still a lot of people if we hit Millions of infections
2. you can also see that the death rate was much higher at the beginning: https://ourworldindata.org/mortality-risk-covid
3. we are still not trying to get everyone from the street so they are not dying, we are getting them from the street that if they are dying, they are not dying because of full hospitals.

And of course doctors are getting better every day fighting it and learning more about it.

I personally absolutly don't mind sitting around for a year to wait this out. I only have one live and i don't want to have covid right now nor any long term issues from it.

Covid showed something quite interesting to me: You are better of in dooms day scenarios if you can sit it out a little bit.
The few thousands qubits that you mentioned is logical qubits. With error correction you need tens of millions of physical qubits to break RSA or ECC.

Google and NSA can produce more of the same thing. But they probably have no major secret sauce for things such as error correction that the public does not have.

QubesOS has an implementation of this called seamless mode and doesn't require an RDP server nor having to manually add software:

Here's a screenshot of using Powerpoint: https://www.qubes-os.org/attachment/wiki/WindowsAppVms/windo...

It's been awhile but I recall some VM managers having this feature (seamless mode) though. I'm not sure if it was VirtualBox or paid VMWare.
The amp shown is nowhere near "professional grade".

Professional means it does the right thing in unusual circumstances - naughty inputs, naughty outputs, naughty mains power, running at full power on the grass under a pile of coats and scarves, pumping through old and fraying speaker leads lying on the ground, ...

The design is missing all sorts of safety features apart from the most basic (prevent electrocution from broken mains wires touching the chassis).

A 200VA transformer with a 350W amplifier is just asking for a transfomer meltdown (or fire, if the transformer doesn't have a functioning thermal fuse), unless there is a limiter in place to limit the output to 120W or less. (Fuses are also recommended, but in the professional environment you don't want them to blow, ever. Hence, a limiter is mandatory.)

The bridge rectifier is undersized.

In traditional mains-frequency rectification such as shown, the diodes only conduct for about 10% - 20% of the time, so the peak current in them is can be more than 10 times the average. At 36V and 10A output average, the rectifier current peaks are in the neighbourhood of 100A. A BR35 (35A 1000V) will provide a reasonable working life. At up to 36W dissipation, you can probably just bolt it to the chassis with some thermal compound.

The design is also missing speaker protection features and surge/spike protection/EMI prevention, and RF intereference filters on the inputs.

The design is also missing convenience features one expects of a professional amp, such as "power good" and "fault" lamps/circuitry. And handles.

It's nice that there are good inexpensive amplification modules now. But as with software, the difference between a toy example and professional grade is thought, time and money spent on reliability, safety, and usability.
Probably. Washington State's cable landings are all in Puget Sound, a similar distance up the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

In the Pacific Northwest the weather on along the coast can get pretty fierce in the winter (wind, storms). You don't tend to see a lot of industrial infrastructure built there.
> What speculation?

Speculating that a debugger is not attached and modifying local variables, is one example.

Yes that’s why it’s speculation - handle the common cases and speculate away the uncommon cases.
From the article...

> However, the size and concentrations of SARS–CoV-2 in aerosols generated during coughing are unknown. Oberg and Brousseau (3) demonstrated that surgical masks did not exhibit adequate filter performance against aerosols measuring 0.9, 2.0, and 3.1 μm in diameter. Lee and colleagues (4) showed that particles 0.04 to 0.2 μm can penetrate surgical masks. The size of the SARS–CoV particle from the 2002–2004 outbreak was estimated as 0.08 to 0.14 μm (5); assuming that SARS-CoV-2 has a similar size, surgical masks are unlikely to effectively filter this virus.

...and that's the least problematic part of the study.

The study is done on a sample size of n=4 (!!), and tests the immediate effects of masks against coughing. It does not test the longer term effect of staying in a non-ventilated room (like a mall or a train) with non-coughing (normal breating) infected people.
Lets flip back to the parent message :
> People on the left think that anyone on the right is a lunatic, and everyone on the right thinks the same thing about the left.

You thinking you’re right is ingrained in your belief system, and maybe reinforced by certain signals you pick up.

I think an exercise is to start walking or thinking a mile in the shoes of the opposite camp, can make a lot of difference.

A step further is to actually start a dialogue with someone from the opposite camp where you both actively try to see it from the others perspective.
120,000+ infections and 1000+ deaths per day are negligible?
That's not surprising either, all the Oregon data centers are in Hillsboro.
Even with teams, this is a very nice approach as you can use another device to see the slides/watch the speaker.

I've been delivering training in a similar way for a few months and the experience (as trainer!) has improved a lot because I'm able to keep a much more direct contact with the students.

And a remarkable point (I think) is that you are not limited to 5-10 fps provided by the shared screen feature: the transitions between slides becomes much more natural, less clunky.

I really think delivering good remote training is very complex as we need to learnt new tricks (and forget some old ones). And, in the end, is the sum of many little small improvements like this one what can make the experience a success.

Edited, to correct a bit my poor English ;-)
Yes, that'd be ridiculous, and that's why my grocery store does not require me to sign any agreements when I buy produce.

Every time this is brought up, and the usual analogies to Nazi Germany are made, people get uncomfortable when it's pointed out that the doctor at the center of this is named Mahendra Amin, that he's an immigrant himself, that he has a history of medicaid fraud (which is likely what this was; more fraud), and is (from his name and photos) obviously non-white:

But "Nazi doc sterilizes immigrant women of color" clearly has better optics.
Netflix, Give Us the Linear TV Feature for Mindless Binge-Watching
This is the thing that truly drives me crazy about the political deadlock, and the replies to this comment are a good example of it: Democratic politicians propose a common-sense, obvious measure that would be objectively good for society (e.g. healthcare; slowing down climate change; addressing a global pandemic ravaging our country; providing money to the people now out of work due to the economic recession caused by the pandemic). In turn Republicans (politicians and right-wing pundits, that is; not referring to constituents), respond by fighting tooth and nail opposing it, using nonsensical buzzwords and ad hominem attacks on whomever sponsored the bill, and make it one of "The Issues" for political points, further subverting any real, meaningful discussion on policy issues. I've watched the GOP degenerate from "kind of annoying, but valid counter-points" to "blatantly obstructionist" staring with the Tea Party during the Obama Admin, and only getting worse from there.

Today there's the "Let's actually do our jobs and keep the country running" party and the "Let's destroy our country and blame it on the other side because corporate lobbyists pay us to do so" party. And somehow we need to find common ground and unity when the other side is more interested in bullying and obstructing the Democrats than it is trying not to kill another 200K people. There's compromise, and then there's calling a spade a spade.

To be clear, I won't pretend the Dems are fine (and if there were a way to vote third party without throwing away my vote, I would do so in a heartbeat). But the Democrats aren't even particularly progressive anymore. Bad-faith concession after bad-faith concession to the GOP over the course of decades has slowly dragged the Democrats to the center, while the GOP's actual extremists making a mockery of our democracy have the gall to label providing healthcare as the real extremism.
You should get your numbers straight before you write things like this "like the great plague.".

Do you really think there is any politiction out there who likes to shut their country down because of anything? Tanking the economy just because of some flue?

No.

Pandemic Experts (our experts, your experts) estimated that if we wouldn't do this, we would see a very bad outcome and Politictions decided that its more important to not hit this scenario and tank the economy instead.

Now your expert expertise on this is something like 'but let's not treat it like the great plague.'?

Funny enough, i'm in Europe and i do feel fine sitting at home. I'm quite happy that we don't have that high numbers as USA has.

The problem in the USA is not 'wearing masks outside and having no other restrictions' but 'coronavirus is a hoax' 'i can't breath with a mask' 'a mask is against the amendment' 'my freedom'.

And yes we have this stuff here as well. 20k people demonstrated because of masks. Like since when did our society became so antisocial or dumb, that people think wearing a facemask mandation made their lives so much worse that they want to demonstrate it?
> ammonia is way too dangerous

The thought of working in the confines of a ship's engine room with such a hazardous fuel is horrifying. One reason for the widespread use of diesel oil is that it's relatively safe for human operatives.
I was thinking of the 2017/2018 flu season which killed 80k in the US. H1N1 tends to get singled out as itself, Spanish Flu or swine flu.
Ok... So I'm trying to see what options we have now. We have Jira, Confluence and Fisheye installed on server, plus a free GitLab for code repository. We use FishEye for code revisions (we have multiple repositories and usually changes came across 2 or 3 repos at same time).

How integrates Jira Cloud with Fisheye ? I don't see a cloud option for FishEye, so it keeps being on a local server...

> but policy-wise he didn't really make any horrible decisions

You don't feel how he handled the Covid pandemic was a bad policy? The guy's vanity wouldn't allow him to wear a mask to act as a good example to his base. He blatantly ignored most of what his advisors told him and proceeded to advocate quack remedies and dubious advice.

I really dislike the trope of "all politicians lie" when discussing Trump. It's the worst kind of "what about-ism". I do value a president talking to the American people like we are adults and tell us uncomfortable truths. I think Obama tried that on occasion ands it backfired on him in a major way (comment about those that cling to guns and religion comes to mind).

I do agree with you that it's not solely Trump's fault. The republican party quickly fell into step behind him to get their way above any sort of moral high ground they could have hoped to claim in the past.
Yes, it will! The main limitation is that you can use it only per 1 project, thus only in one video :)

> but while they may have loyal grass-roots support, they tend not to be the most successful and they are most definitely in the minority

Because the electorate want that. If they rewarded honest people we'd have more successful honest politicians. In the end too many people want easy solutions, which often don't exist.
This 12k year cycle you are mentioning, is part of climate change calculations.

You are not a minority genius who did a few calculations on back of a notepad, is reading the internet and now is smarter than real experts.

Real experts spend there daily life with it and actually know what to calculate.

Great review, thanks for this!

Associative memory is at the core of cognition machinery [0], I wish there was more attention to it, but it seems like memory modeling gathered quite a bit of dust since the 90s. All the resources went to learning algorithms and ANNs.

In the human brain learning is just memory encoding, and that encoding is not an iterative trial and error process as conventional ANN model forces you to believe.

We have made a bit of progress since Mccullough & Pitts, and Rosenblatt work. But the field is mostly stuck there in the 1940s-60s from the neuro- and cognitive modelling perspective.

I've added most of the content on SDM page [1], you can find many related developments there. Also see [2] for some old and newer memory models.
