I'm conflicted about this. We need to work, because we made it in such way.
Where I live, the subway is packed with people that go to work, many of them, to office jobs that are not needed.

You claim that people do not need to attend Thanksgiving. I guess the same goes for Christmas, or most family and friends gathering during the worst times of the pandemic. But this incurs a huge toil on mental health. People suffer.

I'm not saying to ignore restrictions and put people's will to meet above everything. But I think it's important to see what are we prioritizing. How we are considering that 40h of work are irreplaceable, but we must avoid seeing family and friends.

And how long can you sustain this? Imagine this needs to last one more year. A position where I'm forced to work undesired jobs during 40h per week under the threat of unemployment, poverty and starving, at the same time that I'm refused many social activities it's one where I'd rather kill myself.
Thanks! I hadn't considered room lighting - though I also need it bright enough for pen and paper.

Resolution seems ok - I zoom in when needed, which is rare. Some pdf's have lines too long to fit on the screen, for the text to be large enough - but they are also rare. I think a 10" would solve that (held lanscape, 10" is basically A4 portrait width, if you zoom out the margins). So it doesn't feel like resolution is a problem - although some people say fuzzier text tires eyes.
Power consumption and inefficiency
What problems have had advancements in treatment in the last 20 years? HIV/AIDS, cancer, diabetes. Those are just three things off the top of my head that I know have improved, even without data to support me.

I'm not sure, with the speed of technological improvements in the last decade, that 20 years is appropriate.

The algorithm almost certainly maximizes engagement. But I suspect FB's systems have found a local maxima (at least for me) - my engagement did increase for a period and the toxicity in a couple of the groups was so high, that I stopped reading.
All of the antitrust case is about how Google pushed its user searches to its own proprieties.

There's a simple trick to get around this: don't use the YouTube app, use the website youtube.com. Adblockers work for YouTube's website on iOS.

The app is only marginally better than the website, so you won't be missing much.

I imagine the difference is at those customer facing jobs they are wearing masks all day, where is at dinner everyone will have their masks off (at least while eating/drinking but in reality most will probably end up leaving them off after eating or even before eating because unlike at work where they maybe surrounded by strangers at home they will feel more comfortable maskless around extended family).
Historically the amount of people in "middle class" was very low.

Globalisation allowed it to grow, but i don't think isolation fixes any problem if every country starts doing that.
Yeah, had the same experience. The sad thing is that officials were warning about this exact risk from way back in June, but I guess covid fatigue is a real thing :/
What does "Cumulative Excess Deaths" mean and why does it spend a lot of time trending down?

[Edit]

And what is "Age Adjusted + Population Adjusted Deaths"? (Yes, I get "population adjusted".)

[As of 2019, Sweden's population has increased 16% since 2000, 13% in the 0-17 yrs and 35% in 65+ yrs groups. The population of "Foreign Born" is up 97% (!) vs 11% growth in Swedish citizens. In that time, life expectancy has gone from 77.4 to 81.3 for men, 82.0 to 84.7 for women. "Crude death rate" has gone from 10.5 to 8.6 (per 1000). Source: https://www.scb.se/en/finding-statistics/statistics-by-subje... As a bottom line, I'd suggest Sweden's demographics changes in the last 20 years have been crazy pants.]

The character is not making medical decisions or offering life lessons and it does not matter that the GPT3 model "knows" nothing about what it is talking about.

We are convincingly entertained. I have always felt that this kind of interactive entertainment was exactly the right match for GPT3.
If general public even knew who to complain they would have surely yelled loudly. For now I hear non-tech people say 'Oh, our internet is slow even though we pay lot of money'

I’m subscribed to an old channel, with 200 videos that need to be watched in order. They are all long enough that I have to stop at least once in the middle, sometimes as many as 3 times. If I come back or switch devices, I have to go to my history to find the video I was watching, because recommendations either get the previous or next videos half the time.
I should add that DoH developers should reach out to ISC for comment on DHCP, to get an idea what the cleanest method would be to implement DoH/DoT in DHCP that would work for 90%+ of DHCP implementations.
There is no evidence that these kinds of impacts are even remotely common.
I used to use the YouTube app on my firestick to stream music while working around the house. One of my favorite bands - who I personally know and who don't put any ads on their videos - releases entire albums in a single 30-40 minute long video.

YouTube now throws 4-6 ads in the middle of the videos, often right in the middle of the songs.

Curious if you looked at the underlying data.

Aside from 2018, this year does not even look like much of an outlier: https://mobile.twitter.com/TLennhamn/status/1295269505984344... . 2012 seems to have been deadlier, for Sweden, than 2020, which was 8 years ago.

I feel like we will see similar performance fairly soon in cheaper laptops without being locked into the Apple ecosystem.

That's probably not going to happen any time soon.

If the $999 M1-based MacBook Air is already outperforming almost every Intel laptop that's been shipping (including Apple's), there's little chance Intel or AMD are going to surpass that.

Even if they get close to performance, they're not going to have the same battery life. From Matthew Panzarino's review on Techcrunch on the M1 MacBook Pro [1]:

"In fullscreen 4k/60 video playback, the M1 fares even better, clocking an easy 20 hours with fixed 50% brightness. On an earlier test, I left the auto-adjust on and it crossed the 24 hour mark easily. Yeah, a full day. That’s an iOS-like milestone."

It's important to remember: this is Apple's low-end chip for entry-level/consumer level hardware, yet it's more than competitive with a $5000 iMac Pro.

Certainly gives some perspective into peoples ability and limitations of controls/tools available. Best will in the World, stuff is goona happen and STD rates would give an insight. Be interesting in years to come to mine the COVID infection rate data and contrast against STD spread trends and see if any correlation geography. I'm looking at crime rates in area's and infection spreads and whilst nothing hard, it certainly does seem to have some correlation. The more likely an area is to have people prepared to break laws, the more chance people won't respect the laws/rules/advice for spread.

So certainly much to be learned, but like driving - you can follow all the rules and drive perfectly, it's always the other person who does not that crashes into you.

Just case of managing the flow like a production line and not seeing hospital capacity bottleneck, which seems to be the case in every country in the production line of normal life. So a mass risk increase all in short window of time is one heck of a sudden spike risk that could really jam up and backlog the bottleneck and have a knock-on effect that will not bode well.

This all happening in a country with leadership in a bumpy transition phase and potentially a perfect storm.

I'd hate to think though that the head of the CDC wasn't prepared to do an outright internal flight travel ban or harder notice statement for fear of upsetting the current president and getting twitter sacked and classed as a communist for not protecting American values. But for me and possibly others - I can see how that may well be plausible, so there is that in the back of my mind, can't deny that thought and do hope I'm wide of the mark even though it is a doubt I can't dismiss. But politics and health are never good bedfellows.

Over the last two decades, life expectancy has either peaked in the developed world, or has even declined for some demographics.

_Requiring_ any arbitrary metric or technology stack to be allowed at the top of the google search result is utterly antithetical to the idea of a search engine providing the "best" result for a search.

Having a faster site than a competitor should be a boost, but if their content is better, they should win the better ranking.

Google requiring Google's own technology is pretty blatant abuse everyone can understand.

I don't know about you but I see a lot of complaints on twitter about the new stories feature. That isn't a complaint about things being slow but it does seem to suggest users want to go backwards wrt new features that are unneeded.

Reference counting is a form of garbage collection, although not usually refered to that way.
Well that is fascinating. I am reading The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell.

Part of the plot is that a radio astronomer at Arecibo discovers intermittent Alien radio signals originating from the Alpha Centari System. The protagonists can't figure out why the Alpha Centari's are transmitting such strong radio signals and why they are intermittent. It turns out that their planet doesn't have an ionosphere to reflect broadcast radio waves, so the inhabitants instead bounce radio off the moon to broadcast it back to the surface.

Arecibo only picked up the radio signals when they bounced off the moon at the right angle.

The origin of radio telescopes in the 60s must be the kernel for that bit of plot.
Sure, on average MOST people stream but claiming "Nobody" downloads music files anymore is just flat wrong. Bandcamp clearly isn't interested in competing with Spotify as an app for streaming (and as a frequent buyer from BC, I don't want them to try), they are interested in being a low-friction marketplace for people who want to buy and sell music and download it in a variety of formats.
If you ARE using Facebook socially, they can turn down who sees your communications...kinda like shadowbanning.
What's the point of sandwiching the 7 days between tests? Wouldn't 7 days isolation, then test be just as good? The only scenario (ignoring actual technical false negatives) where you'd get positive on the first, negative on the second would be a very late stage where infectivity was mostly over already at the time of the first test.
They are well-defined. A family office is a company fully owned by a family, with no clients other than the family, that doesn't hold itself out as a public investment advisor.

The SEC release notes that most family offices already qualify, but the law was somewhat ambiguous. The problem isn't that family offices can't legally invest, but rather that companies are reluctant to sell to them --- that's where the real risk is in running afoul of these rules, to the securities issuer, not the investor. Clarifying the rule mitigates that reluctance on the part of issuers.

It does, and some of the later Halos had more accurate weapons (I recall a 3 or 4 shot burst rifle being the new starting weapon?).

The pistol actually seemed popular among players with better accuracy than myself, specifically because it was one of the few weapons accurate enough to reliably land headshots.

I tried some of the later Halo games, and it felt very non-Halo, and I think this pins it down. In the original Halo, it was relatively difficult to die instantly. Grenades, sniper rifles, the bazooka, and the hand sword were the only weapons that could do it, and each of them had substantial tradeoffs (grenades were limited, the bazooka traveled rather slowly and only killed on direct hits or very close hits, etc). Now there are tons of weapons that can kill in one hit. I think the starting rifle can't one shot, but two bursts to the head is death. And they've turned up the aim assist to the point where players are fairly good at getting headshots.

It misses all those "if I hide behind this rock and let my shields regen, I might survive" moments. There's no tension to the game as you struggle to survive; in a flash you're either the conqueror or the conquered. There's no cat and mouse as you chase someone through their base, hoping they don't hide behind a corner and stick you with a plasma grenade.

Maybe the tension is what I miss more than the slower speed of play. After all, fast playing games can still be fun (like Sonic) because they keep that tension that you could die at any second. That kind of tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat, so when you finally make it through you get the level you lean back and pat yourself on the shoulder. Modern AAA games seem to want to get directly to the dopamine hit, so they crushed the combat sequence into a very small number of actions so that you can do it over and over again faster. It just doesn't do as much for me.

Although I’m definitely not convinced enough to make the jump yet, those emulation benchmarks…

Remember, it's not emulation; Rosetta translates the x86 binary into ARM code and runs it. That's why there's a small pause when launching x86 apps—it translates the app on the fly.

The seeming tension between vertical integration and open systems is an interesting question. I think the ideal is to have both tight software-hardware integration and maximum freedom and openness. I really don't see a reason why these two concepts must always be viewed as opposites, especially if you are able to question the underlying legal and economic assumptions that most people start with.
I only use YouTube when searching for an instructional video, eg how to find the hidden reward in a game, how to cook or prepare a recipe, etc.

With ads on it’s a nightmare as when searching it takes a number of videos until I find the one I am looking for and each time I have to wait for 30 sec ad.

It’s so time wasting that I stopped using it.

I hope they continue the trend and the Google monster dies from inside.
Yeah, another 9/11 was basically stopped by adding locked compartments and training the pilots in self-defense techniques, some of which are even armed.
In simple scenarios with two actors perhaps, but I don't think that holds true for complex scenarios with multiple participants. Somebody who steals the best from everybody and is always one generation behind the state of the art in every regard may still prevail against all others because they are a Jack of all trades, master of none.
It's almost as if this is correlated with the population increase. Almost.

> Apple is matching the 75w 1050ti with less than 5w of power.

Who gives a shit about the desktop 1050 Ti here? The M1 comes close but can't match a 1650 Mobile, and the 1650 mobile is both faster than a 1050 Ti and uses less power. Almost like the 1050 Ti was never the pinnacle of anything but being cheap? Then again, the 1050 Ti doesn't use 75w, either ( https://www.techpowerup.com/review/palit-geforce-gtx-1050-ti... ), just like the M1's isn't "less than 5W" ( https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste... - more like ~10-15w for just the GPU)

The M1's good enough it doesn't need nonsensical comparisons with fake numbers to exaggerate things further. Let it be what it is, which is a good integrated GPU not that dissimilar to other recent integrated GPUs

EDIT: Although if you do care about power efficiency, sites like techpowerup have you covered: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-radeon-rx-6800-xt/36.... performance / watt graphs.
Would these first gen ARM chips not be obsolete by a few years before wearing out the SSD?

The SSDs from the previous gen are rated for something like 40Gb writes per day for 40 years i think.

I’d guess the battery will fail first, then the keyboard or screen hinge, then the logic board. But thats a pure guess.

I reckon the biggest risk is that all in one logic board, anything fails and you lose your HDD.
