Girls love tall guys. This is true. I’m also willing to bet that your tall mute friend is more attractive than you probably realize. Being tall for all I care could be the male version of having big boobs. This doesn’t change anything about what I said.

Please imagine how much worse your friend would have it if he were overweight and boring.

Also, you should build yourself irregardless of women. Reading is good for you. Exercise is good for you. Having a passion is good for you. Coincidentally, these are all signifiers of someone who would be a good dad.

Most guys are clueless how women approach men and often don’t even realize when women are coming onto them. It’s never (or rarely) as crass as “hey let’s fuck”. It’s more like they take initiative to say hi first and ask follow up questions.

Maybe your fit friend is too passive??

I wonder if it could be that a significant fraction of their courses do not fall under that exception, and for some reason they do want to have to keep track on a per course basis of who is or is not allowed to take it?

Most STEM courses would not qualify, because most of them are not requirements for an undergraduate degree in humanities, social science, law, or business. Looking at the courses I've taken from EdX and Coursera, I think that the only one that might qualify for the exception is game theory--it might be required for some social science degrees.

All the others were equivalent to courses required for STEM degrees only.

If so, this is more like a promotional giveaway than a real service. They should have simply said "two lucky customers will be given a tiny VM for almost free".
Apple CPUs have great NEON performance, so if those libraries have NEON paths, they'll scream.
My suggestion is: Display a plain number (rather than a percentage); but only display the percentage if the total required is actually known too. For example, if you need to download a two gigabyte file, and the file size is already known, then it can calculate the percentage, but if the file size is not known, then it should only display the total number of bytes downloaded.

This is separate from time estimations, though. The progress may not run at a uniform speed, which is OK; just mention the percentage of progress if known, or a plain number if not. If there are multiple steps, display the progress for each individual step, and document what the steps are.

In a few cases (e.g. hashcash), the progress is not known, so just a "spinning" indicator (or displaying a plain (non-percentage) number which just increases while it is executing) might be used instead.
Inside the mind of a master procrastinator | Tim Urban
The Wired article that this SyFy blurb is based on has more details (and more criticism) - https://www.wired.com/story/inside-spinlaunch-the-space-indu...

> One former employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to their nondisparagement and nondisclosure contracts, acknowledged the gulf between theory and reality. They described SpinLaunch’s prototype centrifuge as a relatively unsophisticated machine that “any average engineering team could put together.” The employee said that scaling up to a functional suborbital launcher is going to be “very challenging” with SpinLaunch’s resources. The employee also cited the inexperience of some of the leaders. “The foresight to predict many of the issues that are going to happen was definitely lacking,” they said.
Apple isn't just now entering into this space with the M1 though, it's been this bad for 5 years vs Qualcomm already the change is now even the best power hungry x86 cores can't keep up with it. What Apple is delivering in the M1 continues to be 2 generations ahead of the Qualcomm's best in terms of performance an the +10% uplift on the usual +20% generational increase isn't changing that - Apple has been doing that level of improvement consistently every generation so Qualcomm can't "catch up" by doing the same in some generations.

I'm generally not a fan of Apple as a company and own no Apple products but I've long acknowledged what they've been doing in mobile hardware has been miles better than what the competition has been doing - this isn't some sudden upset and entrance just a on-pace continuation of what has been going on for years. I only wish it was decoupled from their software.
Punctured equilibrium can matter if fundamentally new adaptation happen only or primarily with external disruptions. Mammals replaced reptiles after a mass extinction event cause by a meteor - another world might not regular meteors or might have too many.

I’ll match your anecdote with my own. I’ve worked with several large codebases in TypeScript and slow compilation is a common problem I’ve dealt with. To the point where some people I’ve worked with specifically chose to work on desktop PCs for the extra CPU.

With that said, compilation performance is something most compiled languages deal with so I wouldn’t treat it as some kind of flaw specific only to TypeScript
I, for one would love to see an M1 chip cripple itself under the memory load of 4 intellij windows and chrome tabs, among other applications.

I tend to agree. However it's not hopeless - we already have a system to serve them. It's the culture of monogamous relationships and marriage. That removes the most attractive men from the dating pool, leaving the remaining women available for the less attractive men. If we didn't have that, we'd probably instead have a lot of polygamy with most men missing out entirely and most women sharing a partner. That's effectively what it's like for short term relationships - women don't get exclusive access to the attractive men - they have to take turns.

I'd say the same about GPUs as well. It's great for people who game, but beyond a certain baseline, it's pretty pointless for most of us.

> I'm not saying this isn't good, it's great for people editing, but this isn't a general indicator of performance

Umm, it's also great for people who watch YouTube or Netflix. Zoom calls use the encoder and the decoder. Fundamentally, modern computers do a crapload of video (and audio!) decoding and encoding. Arguably for most of us, it is more important than having a high performance GPU.

This is all trebly important when you are using Netflix, YouTube, HBO Max, Zoom, Skype, etc on battery where the specialized encoder uses about 1/3 the power as the CPU.

From the article: "What made the crashes so vexing is that it was impossible to pin the blame on one central villain."

"'When people say I changed the culture of Boeing, that was the intent, so that it’s run like a business rather than a great engineering firm,' Mr. Stonecipher said in 2004."
M1 is faster at retain/release under Rosetta2 than x86, and yet Rosetta2 still has the same strong memory model that x86 does.
The lack of a link to the source material is the quickest way to get me to stop reading and mash that back button.
No, because Rc<> isn't atomic. Arc<>, however, would get the benefit. The reason retain/release in ObjC/Swift are so much faster here is because they are atomic operations.

In practice, in the US, the fiber connection will actually offer a sustained 100mbps up and down, with a low latency while the cable company will share a 500mbps down 10mbps up connection over 50 houses and sell you 100mbps by throttling everything else for a few minutes and using this burst speed as their advertised bandwidth.

Online dating messages and resumes have one thing in common - the more specialized to the recipient, the more hits you will get. If your message to every girl is “what’s up”, then you are doing the resume equivalent of creating a single resume and sending to every job on LinkedIn. The more your resume matches the job, the better your chances of getting called. The more your first response to a woman on the dating site shows you’ve read their profile and have interest in their interests, the more responses you will get back.

It’s better to pick 1-2 people every day you are truly interested in (more than just looks) and put some time into a real message. Not just “what’s up” to 30 girls.

Oh i always kept sending messages to new people no matter how I was doing with someone else on the site. These things would fizzle out suddenly after a few weeks for all sorts of reasons and you could miss out on some great people.
Fahrenheit has the advantage of being more precise, which makes it great for recipes.

Not jumping to full throttle mode without some delay while using battery is a good thing in my book.

Frequent throttling to full power wastes too much energy in the long run.

IIRC Linux CPU frequency scaling can achieve the same effect with hysteresis settings (which I used to tame my jumpy CPU back in the day).
The easy and sane path would have been to just mandate that str is encoded as UTF-8. (Indeed, that's what every other sane language seems to do.)

Instead they tried to split every function into a 'wide' (str) and a 'narrow' (bytes) version, like in Windows.

The whole idea of 'wide' strings is predicated on the idea that Unicode charpoints are only ever two bytes and that two bytes is all you ever need.

This obviously doesn't work in 2020, and the Python folks tried to roll back their broken by design code that has immediately turned into technical debt right out the gate, but the warts still exist. (Like having to choose whether you open files with 'w' or 'wb', etc. No other language does this stupid thing, I think.)
Honestly, you seem like youre trying to reason this out with zero experience in the field. You cant just "run statistics to identify strategies". I'm not going to go into it further because you know nothing
Yes, that seems like a feature.
Yup, if I recall from the article the actual power numbers were NDA'd but pointed towards AMD destroying Intel on a battery usage basis.

What you’ve linked is CoreFoundation’s retain, Objective-C’s can be found in https://opensource.apple.com/source/objc4/objc4-787.1/runtim... (look for objc_object::rootRetain).

The short answer for why it can’t just be an increment is because the reference count is stored in a subset of the bits of the isa pointer, and when the reference count grows too large it has to overflow into a separate sidetable. So it does separate load and CAS operations in order to implement this overflow behavior.
Yeah this is a good point. All these comments about dating sites are true, and they really suck. Which is a great reason to get off dating sites if you can. They make every problem with dating much worse.

Outside them the problems aren't quite as bad.

Intel is cherrypicking benchmarks where the boost-on-battery behavior is worse. If you look at Cinebench, Handbrake, etc, they don't show a comparative deficit. And there's even benchmarks that show the opposite: Intel waits too long to boost on battery for e.g. Blender and performance suffers in those benchmarks.

And, of course, short benchmark runs suffer disproportionately for those integrators who chose to put a delay-before-boost timer in to improve battery life.

Basically, Intel is grasping at any straws to show performance parity to AMD at this point... and now I will be even more hard pressed to take anything coming out of INTC marketing seriously.
I'm very excited about this. At some point I started seeking out Raspberry Pi Zero based handheld gaming consoles. I wanted to program my own games on a little gameboy that I could hand to people. I didn't find anything at the quality bar I wanted, but I found a guide on how to build your own. I got as far as wiring the screen up to the GPIO pins. It was an awesome experience.

I imagine a future where the rpi can be used in various homebrewed form factors as a console.

I know there are makers out there who are working on this.

Take my advice and pay for professional resin printing instead of the basic 3D printing yall are usually doing!

A high end case on a tried and true gameboy design would probably sell IMO.

I wonder if there will be a rpi4 in the Pi Zero form factor.

Just a personal gripe looking at the commerce.js site... I don't understand why people build these insanely complex spa sites yet put no effort into browser caching and lazy loading media files with correctly sized placeholders / containers.

Maybe, maybe not.

I could kind of see them having conversations with a regulatory authority for a few months, trying to see if there's a way to keep having the product.

Then, when it's clearly "Nope, not going to happen", they shut it down. That could take ~6 months with extended negotiations.
So is egalitarianism.
No they don't. They have the _option_ of an N second delay which AMD allows OEMs to set themselves for their own determined blend of say pure raw performance (no delay) or a more reserved ramp up to save battery.

Similarly the American Heart Association is a licensing and fundraising organization which rakes in around $750 million in revenues and gave out $150 in grants. The rest of the program spend of $595 million which was $445 million (!!) goes on salaries and fund raising. The AHA has around 4,000 employees. They have an endowment of $1.2B. [1]

Amongst the most dubious of AHA recommendations are dietary sodium around 1.5-2.5g/day [2] which flouts established research which shows all-cause mortality doubling from 4-6 g/day to 1.5-2.5g/day to those who do not have salt specific hypertension. But they dgaf as their primary focus is not the heart and cardiovascular health of Americans but licensing the "Good Heart" license to cereal companies so they can use it to sell more obesity causing products like Honey Nut Cheerios.

Switzerland, right behind Denmark in that chart builds the physical networks either entirely with public money or public/private partnerships, but sets a fixed rate at which the fiber must be leased out to any interested party.

This worked too. A small ISP came along (init7, they're awesome https://www.init7.net/) and started offering symmetric gbit at $65 per month, disrupting the ISP market. The big ISPs were scrambling at first, now there's actual competition, with offers like 10git for ~$40 a month (https://fiber.salt.ch/en). Granted that's marketing 10gbit and not real 10gbit, because it's XG-PON [0], so "up to 10gbit/s" and it's a shitty ISP. But still way better than you used to be able to get.

So it would seem to me that many roads lead to rome. Eitherway I'm pretty happy because I don't hate my ISP anymore, something that was unimaginable 10 years ago.

IIRC lately, Intel's real TDP under serious load is almost twice as the public value. I guess it's also valid to their server parts to a certain degree.

Intel has a habit of hiding some ugly things about their chips under NDA until it has competition or the chip is last-gen. The uglier thing is they're adding these values back to their documents later as a revision and telling look, it was already there! (cough, AVX base frequencies, cough!).

Competition and being a very big company changed them... a lot.
MacOS used to show the keys when you held down the command key, but they foolishly removed that a while ago.
The big gap here is finding instruction streams that match the thing you are trying to do. I am not aware of any obvious way to autogenerate these short of the typical superoptimizer work (usually brute force or SMT).
As noble as your sentiment is, it's a dangerous and stupid approach to take on legal matters of that importance.

Demystifying Ransomware Attack Against Microsoft Defender Solution
I found the position of preferring a poorly formed, good faith argument weird at first but I've come to like it, given we are talking about material world, practical problems (of any scale).

Ultimately, most of our arguments are about solving problems (or pursuing opportunities). Most problems worth arguing at length require collaboration to solve.

I would rather discuss problems and their solutions, and hash out disagreements, with someone who is likely to be a true partner in the implementation of the solution.

Bad faith vs good faith can then be inferred by track records or commitments, same as you would for anything else.

Azure CLI Improvements for Azure Database for PostgreSQL – Single Server
It's unclear that there is such a thing as an NN, and in any case, that it is graph-like.

What are the nodes and edges?

There is a computational graph which corresponds to any mathematical function -- but it is not the NN diagram -- and not very interesting (eg., addition would be a node).

NNs are neither neural nor networks.
That was for x86 Macs. Apple is not supporting alternative operating systems on the M1 Mac except via virtualization.
