I'm one of those people who never turns their computer off. I've done no changes to gnome other than installing tweaks to bring back minimize buttons.

Still though, every 1-2 days I need to do Alt + F2 and `r` to restart gnome.

>You can insert identical-other-than-case files with some kernel calls and break everything when you try to modify them later with the more common file interfaces.

that doesn't seem like a realistic scenario, nor is it comparable to explaining to granny that "Cookie recipe.txt" and "cookie recipe.txt" are two separate files.
So much good stuff in one post. I'm gonna go on a huge tangent bro!

I never loved Mathematics in high school, at least not the way we learn a bunch of things but never apply them or have any intuition about them, but I'm interested in it on personal level.

This is right up my alley.

That's a nice mechanism. There are Self Propelled Modular Transporters for that kind of job, truck-sized platforms with all wheels steerable. Those can be ganged together to move just about anything you can get them underneath. This walking setup looks simpler in some ways. Less lift needed, and the power is external; note all the hydraulic hoses.
If only it was born out.
1. Swap thrashing can bring the system into a completely unresponsive state.

2. Linux servers are targeted and breached. Linux desktop share is too small to be worth it (yet).

3. Windows updates aren't stealthy for a considerable time.

4. That's a matter of opinion.

5. Some distros do, but it's opt-in. Transparency is better on the Linux side too. I agree on this point.

6. You are tempted to spend time on customization with unclear objective benefits.

7. Developers don't owe you anything.
This won't happen, and Oklahoma/Tulsa needs to fess up to that reality and make a real plan for their economic future.

If we're honest, DC/AZ/OR are the "third tech hubs" after SF and then Seattle/Boston/NYC.

The ambition for a midwest tech hub to join those ranks is not insane in general. Pittsburgh could make a reasonable play because, unlike Tulsa, in Carnegie Mellon it actually does have a continuous pipeline of world-class talent. Milwaukee, MSP, KC, sure, worth a long shot (with Madison <-> Milwaukee <-> Chicago HSR it'd be the short short, but, well...). Heck, why shouldn't St. Louis's Central West End be the Kendall Square of midwest biotech?!

But not Tulsa. That's just not the right play, and time is not on the region's side.

Oklahoma is heading the way of Venezuela -- a horribly mismanaged and ultimately failed oil state dependent on handouts from its primary trading partners (in this case via the US federal government). It can burst forth from the ashes, but it doesn't have Carnegie Mellon or UW-Madison or the U Chicago & the CME or Wash U. It won't succeed at the "Midwest Tech Hub" play. It needs a different play. IDK what that play is, which is why I'm not betting my mortgage payments on the future of that particular region. But I do sincerely hope they eventually figure it out.
This is fantastic. Thank you so much!!
The nature of principles, like the ones enumerated in the US Constitution, is that they do not change with changing circumstances.
My educated guess would be the difference between hardware and software patents. There is organizations like Open Invention Network that help to support open source software.

Also I not sure how important this is, but AMD / Intel contribute a lot into GCC under GPLv3 which have patents grant so they can't just go after someone who using their instruction set. This of course also apply for software under Apache license 2.0.
> What about dogged determination

PG said often back then that this is what they think matters most. I was there when he was taking about it in a casual chat with a group of the batch members after one Tuesday night dinner, and he said something along the line of “if only we could do something like coat the floor between the front door and the interview room in a highly slippery liquid, and the people who make it to the room get funded”.
I'm an old dog trying to learn a new trick. Old dog says Nvidia GPU with 8+GB of RAM and thousands of cores is powerful. New trick says M1 with max 8 cores and ??? amount of RAM is more powerful??? My head hurts trying to come up with how. Where is the magic happening that makes 6K+ video run in real time in Resolve, when an Intel CPU with multiple GPUs needs a good wind at its back going downhill. Of the many hand wavy demo details left out, what kind of video are they using? MP4 video, RAW videos, ProRes, etc? Is Resolve running in realtime just playing back the video but immediately chokes when you apply a single node with light grade applied? The M1 release videos and too PR speak for me

Pretty sure Amazon and Uber are already on it.
It's very sad to see people so attached to their egos and external image. Instead of genuinely caring for what will the lives of others be like in the future, they only care about how they will read his name when he is not there. How petty is that, how meaningless? What meaning carries the pronunciation of a name in isolation?

Humanity will only progress once we deeply realize the reality of other minds, that we are made of the same stuff, that our conscious and identity is only pragmatically separated. You and me are the same stuff; helping myself and helping you are effectively the same thing. Helping my children (or your children) is the same as helping myself. I just can't see through their eyes, but they are all like a part of me, equally alive and thinking, that I just cannot access.

Once (and if) we realize this, then we can hope to go on longer than a few decades.

It’s literally an ‘embarrassingly parallel’ problem.

A hundred people can count ten times the ballots that ten people can, and then merge their results.
This is because they rightly recognized the backlash they would face if they did build it into the OS. Even if everything proceeded nominally from there, it would have been bad press and privacy complaints for many news cycles. And that's if there were no fuckups and the app worked well. If the public had any appetite for that kind of intervention, I'm sure those companies would have been happy to do it.

And for what upside? It's not like you're going to earn additional customers by having the better contact tracing framework.

Two ways this could have happened: western citizens could have demanded it loudly and with general concurrence, or western governments could have banded together and ordered it done. Failing those two, it wasn't going to happen. (China, Taiwan and Korea chose the latter route.)
The secret of RNN-T is that it is __extremely__ hard to train, it is very unstable. On a single GPU you'll spend years to train reasonable quality model, moreover a streaming one. Streaming training requires teacher-student setup.

Thats why there are dozen RNNT projects around, some of them more reasonable, some less, but most of them struggle to demonstrate even a good librispeech WER.

You have a long way to go.

US trade policy has actually been quite consistent over the last 20 years, which is to mitigate the damage caused by WTO noncompliance. The foreign policy community in Washington, right and left, have largely given up on the WTO but have had tolerate its continued existence mostly because of captured interests in the US.

That’s over. Trump ripped off the bandaid. Those WTO appellate judges - whose appointments Obama blocked and Trump continued to block - will never sit and rule. The days of truly multilateral trade negotiations are over and right and the left in the US are in agreement over this.

If you read that link, there is no hint at anything to do with Windows on there at all. It's quite a short press release, it makes no mention of what might be run inside parallels. I would expect linux to run, but Windows would be complete speculation.

The link does mention an early access program.
I agree with pretty much everything you wrote.

But I still run Windows because the only really good video editor on Linux (Davinci Resolve) is really unstable there with the hardware I have, the USB audio interface I use has all sorts of issues on Linux and not all games run well on Linux.

Basically what it boils down to is I've been one of those folks who builds their computers from parts for 20+ years with the goal of using 1 computer for everything (dev, video editing, gaming, etc.). I'm afraid Linux isn't ready for such users yet if you don't want to dual boot or set up a Windows 10 guest VM with a GPU pass-through.

If I didn't care about gaming or video editing and only focused on pure software development I would switch in a heart beat.
The old macs are just using regular Intel chips like most other desktop computers
I've been exclusively using Linux (PopOS specifically) with xanmod for the past 2 months. I do my work (programming), game, etc, etc on this one PC. It's been honestly great.

I've had to change some things I do normally, but for me they weren't a big deal.

Games I play that work well on Linux:

- Overwatch

- League of Legends (not so much anymore because URF is gone)

- Hades

- Frostpunk (highly recommend)

I use an Xbox controller for Hades, and I use it in wired mode (one of the things I needed to change about how I use my computer). Bluetooth has some issues I didn't want to bother fixing.

I am using Xanmod because the regular Linux scheduler is just trash in my opinion for desktop use. It doesn't prioritize UI threads which just makes the linux experience so much worse for me.

It's still very grim if you recognize that animals - particularly advanced animals like deer - feel and suffer. Also makes you wonder if the fragility of reproductive system wrt. malnutrition isn't an evolutionary adaptation that smooths out the population crash a little bit after hitting the carrying capacity of a niche.

(Also: many (most?) living things have things that eat them, which is another population maintenance mechanism, and no less grim.)

It is strange to me how different people have different experiences. I wonder how much is hardware / driver related? In my case I have an AMD video card, and my system runs for weeks at a time (I reboot when applying kernel updates is all). Also had very good stability on my Thinkpad X2 Yoga (Gen 2) -- this one with the integrated Intel graphics.
Awesome achievement for SpaceX! So excited for what is in store for space travel the several decades
There is no hint of anything to do with windows in the article whatsoever.
Your point is theoretically valid but considering M1 is essentially a rebranded A14Z chip they would have have had to make for the iPad anyway, the marginal R&D spent on M1 should be epsilon.
> and Australia basically took the code and used it.

Australia basically paid $6million to a contracting company to take the Singapore code and badly reuse it... It was a pork barrelling rort from the start.

The one good thing to come out of it was a learned a lot more about how to use Ghidra to reverse Android apks... (I had a great deal of fun, along with a group of other people, seeing just where the .au app differed from the .sg GitHub code...)
If you want a persistent task queue in Elixir then I would use a library like oban [1] that uses postgres to manage the jobs, a nice benefit of it is that you can enqueue your jobs as part of a database transaction (and Ecto.Multi gives you a nice interface to transactions). And just because you can have a message queue directly inside your application server doesn't mean you need to or that it's a good fit for every project.

In Singapore we have QR code’s and every mall/shop/building you must sign in. It works. Every case we know where a person visited and track down other who visited the same places at those times to get them tested.

We are at 0 community cases.

Anyone who says lockdowns and masks don’t work doesn’t know what they are taking about.

The reasons they don’t work is because people won’t take this whole thing seriously.
Does anybody know how to overlay a shorter footage on a longer one? Because the shortest footage just freeze at the last frame in the tutorial. I want the shorter overlaid footage to loop on top of the longer one, Here is what I've tried:

ffmpeg -i "Old Film Grain.mp4" -i "main-footage.mp4" -filter_complex \
"[0]format=rgba,colorchannelmixer=aa=0.25[fg];[1][fg]overlay[out]"\
-map [out] -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 18 final.mp4

The shortest footage (Old Film Grain.mp4) doesn't loop as an overlay.
The basic x64 patents were close to expiring at the time and may have expired by now. I suspect they were waiting for that to happen before releasing 64 bit support.
There’s too much money behind commercial voting software. At the end of the day, it’s politicians who make the decision on what to support based on contributions and influence from companies with deep pockets and wealthy backers.

Additionally, voting doesn’t happen often enough for that to be at the top of our minds among all the other things we have to deal with that have more immediate and visceral impact. Only a small portion of the American population lives well enough to be able to look beyond next month or even next week. Unlike the EU, we are largely reliant on our own resources for major life emergencies, and we’re gathering (or failing to gather) resources to mitigate them.

It will take many generations of work to fix that situation so that people can worry more about long term needs rather than staying focused on the short term. It will also take a lot of money that the middle class can’t afford and the wealthy won’t spend.

I don’t expect it to happen in my lifetime.
This may seem silly to a bunch of people in this thread, but MS Office and OneDrive is what is keeping me on Windows. I rely on the core MS Office apps enough that I wasn't able to switch to Linux full time. Also, I rely on OneDrive and the "download files as you need them" feature which isn't available with any of the open source apps.

That said, Windows 10 is solid and with the combination of WSL2 and Hyper-V, I can do everything on Windows that I can do on a Linux desktop.

To successfully outsource your MVP on a budget you need to do five things:

1. Talk to ten users who aren’t your mom and understand if this is a problem that needs solving. It’s ok that this takes time to find these people and get them to agree to chat with you, it’s worth it and will save you a lot of money because you’ll know the first feature you need in the mvp and some marketing that might resonate for your landing page collecting emails.

2. Create the mock-ups of what you think the software should look like.

3. Hire three talented designers on Fiverr to take a single screen and design it. Then hire the best person and have them create the rest of the designs - go mobile first.

4. Hire three developers on Fiverr to develop one tiny part. Choose the best developer (most responsive best end product, etc) and get the to develop the mvp.

5. Stick it in front of people and see what they do with it via analytics, more user interviews, usability testing.

This does not have to cost $25k, it will cost a lot of time, good judgement, a very high level of skepticism, and a lot of reading.

I suspect what Intel missed was that firms would be selling phones in very large volume for c$1000. That price includes enough margin to spend quite a lot on the SoC and associated research.

When the iPhone launched Steve Ballmer laughed [1] at the price and pushed a $99 competitor with MS software. The phone market was very, very different before the iPhone got real traction.

ventilation is the standard course of care for ARDS and most covid crisis cases present as ARDS. it’s great. don’t look it up.

in the first few months, ventilation was used extensively as both a last line of defense and a preventative (maybe we can keep your spo2 above 60% and you will therefore have a better chance to survive).

covid presents very strangely for a respiratory infection, especially in regards to spo2 measurement where patients have greatly diminished capacity to carry oxygen but otherwise seem fine—having conscious conversation, walking. there were a couple of months of basically expert trial and error—take what we know of best practices and apply it in a real world setting with no ability to test effectivity other than whether or not your patient lives or dies. this has been awful for hc worker morale, stacked on top of all the other things (bad ppe availability, long hours for months with no end in sight, hospital administration getting paid while they fire hc workers due to lack of elective surgery, etc).

we are intervening earlier in more proven ways now (such as proning the patient with supplemental o2 rather than immediately ventilating). we know what we are doing better than we did in march (when we knew almost nothing). but it is still extremely difficult to intervene once a patient declines past a certain threshhold. ventilation is still being used as the “keep this patient alive and hope for the best”, but something like 50% of patients with ARDS die within 3 years anyway so you really don’t want to need to be vented.

everyone stay safe. i’m getting the war stories from my sister, who is an ER nurse at Vanderbilt—whose narrative has informed this post since i know fuck all about the application of medicine.
A fellow American friend of mine visited Europe with his child's soccer team about 4 years ago. During a match in Spain, people were yelling racist obscenities at one of the 12 year old American soccer players who is black. I was pretty surprised, having believed Europe was more enlightened than the US. Was that just a fluke occurrence? Is that something common at children's soccer games?
a huge portion of that is that humans have a much worse weight to surface area ratio, cats hit at about 60mph and humans at 120 mph. very few humans survive falls in which they reached terminal velocity.
I'd argue that the execution is the idea. Otherwise you are left with, with these 'ideas' is a quick summary of a product that could exist with no mention of the market, how to market it, who to market it to initially and eventually, how to build it, when to build it, strategy, raising money (or not) etc. etc.
I have an interesting setup with home assistant similar to your needs

Power the bed reading light lamp with a zen15 zooz inline switch which is never shut off but can monitor current and power continuously. So now homeassistant knows when my bed reading light is on or off based on if the lamp is drawing more than 3 watts or less. Which means it can control my ceiling fan appropriately AND dimmable room light bulbs AND mess with the thermostat depending on outside temperature / mode. And maybe other options someday in the future.

Some effort to set up the hardware, maybe 30 lines of YAML automation code, but it is nice and convenient.

I have a "reading desk lamp" in my basement lab that does similar tricks. Desk lamp no current drawn means my soldering iron and some other apparatus has its power removed. Improves safety a little.

If my youngest kid were not an older teen, I've been thinking about wifi/bluetooth presence detection such that my table saw has no electrical power if my phone isn't within X feet of the saw. A kind of similar automation but different opportunity.
It still might cost Apple more to manufacture an M1 than it costs Intel to make an i5/i7/etc. Just because they are now their own chip supplier doesn’t necessarily mean that it will always be the cheaper option.

But Apple didn’t switch chips for the cost. Just like the PPC to Intel switch, they did it for the performance and efficiency. More efficient means smaller, thinner, less battery, etc... more design flexibility. That and the fact that they fully control their release cycle is also a nice bonus.
Market it to which market?

I think he would need either a tremendous marketing capital to reach enough people, or have some superb selling skills, to make a profit.
