Is there good coverage of how Intel became so uncompetitive? My instinct is to say this is just the natural result of the presence of MBAs who are trained to focus _exclusively_ on this quarter's results so ignore R&D investment and also shit on employees by doing gimmicks like hotdesking to pinch pennies.

I'm willing to bet my intuition is wrong, especially given my extremely deep bias against MBAs and 'this quarter' thinking. Any great sources on the full story?

No I don't, because renaming across many files is rare enough that I don't need it.

Most of the time, I do refactoring before it's gotten out of hand and so regular vim features like I mentioned in another comment are typically enough.

In other words, I think such understanding by the editor is too much complexity (and language-constrained, at that) for little reward.
Breaking out the bylaw book and getting the police on speed dial is fundamentally the wrong way to deal with visible poverty. A litany of $20-$200 fines is a net negative to the neighborhood no matter how you distribute them.
If you do all that, it would make a lot of sense to then run for mayor or at least some local government position.
Which are the 'more Stoic' forums, out of curiosity?
Don't you bring netplan into this! The ifconfig -> ip transition is at least an improvement. Canonical had every chance to use NetworkManager which is battle-tested, has an extremely polished language bindings, a cli, tui and multiple GUIs, handles complex configurations like a champ, has a nice connection plug-in system to handle all kinds of less common stuff like VPNs, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi sharing, IPoDNS and a plug-in system to support reading configs in other formats (like maybe YAML for instance). The plug-in ifcfg-rh is the reason why ifcfg scripts all still work.

But no, they wrote this entirely non-extensible basically trivial C utility (that's not a dig, seriously look at the code, it does almost nothing!) that doesn't reduce complexity at all since it's the thinnest possible abstraction over its backends and adds yet another layer of things that might fail. But it's integrated into cloud-init by default so it's easier to just slog though fighting it than to rip it out.
There's a lot of people here commenting that significantly lower disposable income isn't really an issue because of social welfare.

In general I agree with that claim, but talking specifically about pensions/retirement: how can you be so sure that 20, 30, 40 years down the road you'll get the same deal as retirees are getting today?

The way I see it, most advanced democracies have some variation of an intergenerational pension system. These systems were planned in a post-war, high-growth context. A lot of countries are having some kind of trouble with pensions, resorting to increasing minimum retirement age (Portugal, UK, Russia come to mind -- I'm sure there are others) or otherwise trying to find alternative funding for increasingly expensive pensions.

Again, I still think the trade is fair (less "personal" income in exchange for more social benefits, healthier and happier society), but I find the certainty people talk about pensions a bit odd.
That is messed up. I am planning to go to a dentist to have all my teeth fixed, I expect it to be done this month. Well, one tooth per week at worst.
I am still in awe at how Wikipedia can have such a site that might not have the trendiest design but can still be accessible to Windows XP users, and that works without JavaScript (even their mobile version, which phones can benefit from less JS (equals more battery life) but for some reason websites have forgotten about it).

For other websites though, it eats your limited data allowance if you are in a unlucky country (even at home if you are in a worse country, thank goodness for unlimited home connections here).
> Fight for just housing/zoning policies and against NIMBYism

With you on that one. But this is a problem of successful, growing cities and it sounds like OP is in a city in the opposite situation that is lacking in economic opportunities.

> Join orgs supporting the homeless and fighting against the criminalization of homelessness.

When most people complain about homelessness, they're talking about the homeless on the streets, and particularly the ones on drugs who accost the people walking by. Criminalization of homelessness might be bad for moral reasons, but letting an unlimited number of homeless people live on streets indefinitely is exactly the opposite of what almost everybody wants. We need to focus on getting them off the streets into shelters and housing, and then everybody wins because they are also not being arrested anymore. Just focusing on the "criminalization" aspect and ignoring everything else is just making the problem worse in other ways.

> Buy from locally-owned businesses that treat their employees well. Not the gentrifying upscale cafes and restaurants and boutiques

This one is where you've really lost me.... who do you think provides good paying jobs and can afford to treat their employees well? Businesses that are making money, such as upscale cafes and restaurants and boutiques. These are also often locally-owned.

I always had insane amounts of queue time on gitlab's CI too. I know they have self-hostable runners, do you know if those work from behind a firewall so I could run them on hardware I have at home?

Also, do you know if it's possible to use gitlab CI as a merge gate on github PRs?
Could you clarify "physical access"? Of course the victim device has to be alive on the target machine that runs said hypothetical bejeweled.

Adversaries won't have to physically plug the device in, though, because there are plenty such potentially exploitable devices that are readily available on average computers(desktop or laptop). BIOS ROM chips, gaming RGB LED controllers, motion sensors, power management microcontrollers, internal Wi-Fi or Bluetooth chips, potentially some HDMI monitors, SSDs, HDDs, potentially Blu-ray drives, certain USB drives, gaming mice, GPUs, high end network controllers, BMCs for remote server management... Today even a microSD card runs some sort of software.

I think you'd have to go back to at least Pentium 2 or III days, further back if you want a laptop, to be confident that there is _no_ standalone microcontrollers that can be hacked from OS by adversaries, and that any reprogramming features in components are/can be fully disabled in hardware or at least by OS. Microcontrollers were usually overkill for simple management tasks back in those days, and ROMs either had hardware write enable pins or external reprogramming voltage supply required to do it.
You can think about moral actions like a vector, they have both a magnitude and a direction. If the magnitude is small enough the action is negligible, regardless of direction. If the article’s figures are accurate, you can optimise away 100% of emissions from the internet - that’s the whole thing - and it would represent a reduction of 0.6% of global emissions. That just makes any individual action inside that space negligible.
I'm a contrarian when it comes to this subject :-)

Millions of people make small changes to distract themselves from changes that would make a real difference. Not doing anything may at least have a chance of making them aware that something must be done.

You'll notice this phenomenon in lots of areas, first of all fitness.

But that's just my opinion.
If someone has file transfer access to a server, the same outcome can happen, only in a perhaps more contrived way. I don't think this is a problem with scp itself. There should be a more restricted transfer command that disables these options however, for the cases where the extra security is necessary.
My main question would be why Intel would even bother releasing Rocket Lake if, balancing between higher IPC and lower clocks, the performance would be _lower_ than the 10 series chips. So I disagree with the article that this will be an unqualified disaster. It's quite likely that they will be a little faster, at least core for core. But it also seems like these are notebook chips hacked into a desktop socket and limited to just 8 cores.

That means the best case scenario for Intel would be (barely) scraping back their "single threaded gaming performance" crown while completely giving up against the multi-threaded performance of AMD's higher core count Zen 3 chips. The only way Rocket Lake would make any sense in the market would be if these are priced less than $400 (probably a lot less), and so Intel's margins will be much lower on what is likely to be a much larger die with more transistors.

I don't think it's possible to call this anything other than a pure desperation move.

A little ironic that the author, who is a person who has done a lot to popularize Stoicism (at least his take on it) is a man whose public behavior I would never associate with that term.This also applies to other stoicism popular writers like Tucker Max, Ryan Holiday and Tim Ferris. It reminds me of a research I read some years ago about how ethics professors were in average not more ethical than the average person.

>Apply the dichotomy of control and the four virtues to everything you do and, as Epictetus promises, you will never be unhappy. You will be free, and you will live a life truly worth living. We all fall short of this ideal, of course. Yet trying to live up to it really works.

Naturally, the obvious criticism is that while you may not be unhappy, it may an indication that you are not actually living. At best, you exist without allowing yourself to 'feel'. To live is to feel pain.
I've never used rcp or rsync, but your final explanation provides no illumination for me. "foo/bar/" and "foo/bar" are both directories named "bar". Copying a thing puts that thing on the destination side. It still doesn't sound like there's a difference.

I read the criticism in the paper you linked, the article itself, and the FAQ (https://eth.wiki/concepts/proof-of-stake-faqs) linked in the article.

In my opinion, it seems like the criticism in the paper is valid, but the conclusion is too dire. Proof of Stake is a different and weaker model of consensus than Proof of Work, but one that seems practical enough for the real world. To address the two main criticisms in the paper, the FAQ seems to state that there are decent schemes to inject enough randomness to prevent stake grinding, and that Proof of Stake does have a "weak subjectivity" as a con, but that in the real world coordination on which block is real to get started on out of band isn't too onerous. Asking a trusted friend or just looking at major forums or whatever would work to get started, and then after that you don't need to keep trusting a third party. Trust on first use, kinda, which a lot of us use every day, SSHing into things, but this case is even better because your first trust can be to a friend or trusted party.

This seems like a very reasonable concession in order to not burn wild amounts of electricity and make the system much more sustainable.
I haven't officially "launched" it yet as I still have a lot more to do, but I've been working on a community website to track air quality & industry in my community, as I live in Gary, IN, nestled in the the middle of some mega polluters.

My neighbours and I got sick 2 years ago from some foul smell in the air and we ended up buying a PurpleAir monitor, and then I just tried to track everything pollution-related I could.

Of course, I'm the one who runs the monitor, website, etc, vested time, effort, money highlighting the issue of pollution, and on 8th September this year, my daughter was born with congenital heart disease, whose condition is made worse by pollution. Go figure.

In addition to the effects of car pollution on health, education, etc., car infrastructure is also a big driver of segregation in cities, which leads to a lot of the social problems that engender violence. So shifting infrastructure away from cars is really relevant.

Refactoring doesn't consist only of renaming identifiers, and for the portion that it does, regular vim features like `/`, `c`, `n`, and `.` or macros or such are often enough.
The halting problem proof will work fine on finite sizes, I think. Failing due to an infinite loop will just be replaced by going out of memory. The main caveat would be if the solver fills memory then the diagonalized solver (which is slightly larger) won't fit on the machine.
Interesting, I didn't know it would support pulling from other git hosts. It looks like their CI even has an API integration with GitHub at least for PRs. That's looking like a potential winner. Thanks for pointing that out.

Nice TL;DR, thx
The global tech industry is a farce. There hasn't been any real innovation in a decade. It's top-down, bureaucratic, government-oriented, debt-fueled, hype-driven, risk-averse... It's not just that there is no innovation; people forgot what innovation means.

Jack Ma is right in pointing out and then proving to us how terribly financialized the world economy has become (it's not just China). The stock market has nothing to do with the economy, it's financial (and political) theatre.
On the other hand, rsync just assumes the network is the only slow resource, and use plenty of everything else.

What is faster depends a lot on what you are trying to do. Rsync can be several times slower at times.
I also saw that 3B to 300B leverage mentioned in the FT and I was surprised that it didn’t get picked up by the non-economics-related media, they all insist on “Chinese government bad because it didn’t let China’s most successful entrepreneur do his thing”.

We’re talking about a leverage ratio of 100, that’s a crazy figure, if I’m not mistaken Lehman’s leverage ratio when it folded was of “only” 30.

Temporal Tackles Microservice Reliability Headaches
So I am reminded of something that I heard when in a masterclass from Andy Martin (he is a world class trombonist). He said when he is performing, no one cares how much time it took him to prepare a piece, what his mood is that day, how much he played that day, etc. Those are all things that can positively and negatively affect his performance. They only care about the end product, the performance.

I relay that story because it is much the same with an ARM chip. I know it is "just" the CPU, and the SoC is what integrates it. I don't really care. The end effect is still all of the problems I listed above, which makes me steer clear of using ARM in a laptop. If ARM really wants to break into this space, these are problems that need to be fixed, and it is in ARMs interest to fix them.

I have not tried the Pinebook (though it uses the same RK3399 has the rockpro64, and the annoying install experience I spoke of was about the rockpro64), and frankly, after my experience with the Rockpro64, I am hesitant to really buy more products from them again, which is sad because I have two pinephones and I really believe in what the Pinephone stands for. The RockPro64 had bad memory, and there are a few reports of other people with the same issue. I bought it in early September, it took me three weeks to get an RMA (and that was only after I filed a dispute with Paypal), and it is in week two of me waiting for me to have them ship it back.

I'm very weak on anything Africa. The UNESCO series A General History of Africa, 11 volumes, (1964-) is the most comprehensive of which I'm aware, which isn't saying much. It includes technology, though not as a principle focus:

The TL;DR is that Intel has always been a vertically integrated shop (meaning that they usually fab and design their own chips), and that is starting to bite them because pure-play foundries are improving their tech at a faster rate.

Intel has been unable to keep up with process advancements in their foundries, and that has led to pure-play foundries like TSMC taking massive market share. As chips get smaller and smaller, Intel has failed to keep up. They can only do 10nm for their mobile stuff and 14nm for their desktop stuff, whereas fabs like TSMC have been in 7nm territory for a while now and are moving into 5nm territory.
> Billionaires are nothing more than gamblers who are propped up by monopolized politics.

Also monopolized capital. Lots of people understood the prospects of the "internet" market. The question is who has access to capital and political protection.

Amazon could have been shut down when the dotcom bubble burst like so many other companies. How were they able to maintain funding/capital for nearly 20 years without making a profit? Amazon could have been shut down in the 90s if they were forced to collect taxes. How were they able to ward off paying taxes for so long? Why was amazon afford such capital/political shelter?

It's a matter of markets and who gets a share of the markets. Historically, it was people with connections. The right school, right family, right race, right nationality, etc. Now I'd say who has connections to capital though school, family, race, nationality, etc plays a role.

Funny anecdote, two friends and I were sitting in a car in Eastern Europe in a rich neighbourhood (pretty much only VIPs and foreigners lived there).

We had some business with an army officer and he was busy with something so we had to wait.

About 20 minutes after we parked, an American woman comes and asks us what we're doing here and whether we need help.

That was weird because no one in our country does this, everyone minds their own business.

She did accept my explanation, but I had a feeling if we didn't move from there 10 minutes later she would've called the police on us :D

Not sure what you asking for. It's not about the topics, it's about methods of research. One cannot take a group of one Spanish region students (no mentions on how it was selected btw which suggest nobody cared), find a correlation between self-reported (hugely unreliable especially when it's kids reporting to adults) behavior within 1 year, and make essentially all-encompassing claim that causation is established.
