> most cryptocurrencies haven't adopted PoS despite it facially seeming better/"less wasteful"

Most post-launch cryptocurrencies were designed a long time ago, though. If you look at recent credible projects, most involve proof of stake: NEAR, Solana, Coda (Mina), Cosmos, Celo, Polkadot, etc.

I can only think of a couple recent blockchain designs based on proof of work: Grin and Iron Fish.

MacPorts is working pretty well. About 80% in my testing. I've been able to work around anything that doesn't build. It seems much further along than HomeBrew.
Space X have never landed any rockets from orbit. Only their 1st stage has landed, which mainly goes up, its nowhere near orbital velocity.
No the problem is software.

You give people a tool and they’ll use it. Taking a measurement changes the subject being measured, showing a metric changes the judgment of the watcher. You have to be an extremely thoughtful and interested person to be shown a metric and have it not color your opinion if it has no value.
If you can lose a phone, get a new phone, log in again, and retain your contact list, you should think carefully about the metadata your messenger is keeping about you.
I see pyproject.toml as more like 'tox.ini is nice, it's good that so many tools use it, but it's really nothing to do with tox', and bringing them (and hopefully those declining tox too) and setup.cfg into one.
Nothing locks the version of numpy that you got there. If you run the same thing again in a few weeks you might get a completely different version, and have no way to revert to the version you had before.
Agreed, I've discovered a few interesting books thanks to the ads. And they are no more intrusive than the non-ad lock screens.
That's interesting, I was just wondering whether we get any benefit from ambient sunlight indoors. So you're saying 'yes' (a limited / very modest benefit).

But how much sunlight do you need in order to saturate your vitamin D production? If I'm indoors in a room with a lot of windows all day, is that good enough?

Speak for yourself; at my school, even the class that used C# worked with mono.
Maybe it just takes a while for supplementation to actually raise your vitamin d levels
Where is that? I cannot find it.

I wouldn’t worry too much about sunscreen. Don’t have the link, but I remember reading a study that sunscreen had pretty much a zero 0% effect on Vitamin D levels, because most people wear way less sunscreen than they should, and the left over areas that people miss still produce enough.

I've been telling family and friends to take vitamin D supplements since the first of these kinds of studies came out. The data is hardly conclusive (case control bias, affect of supplementation vs natural production, etc), and the abstract here even points that out. However, there's nothing to lose...especially this time of year.
That is an amazing idea.

I would definitely be more incentivized to give blood if it gave me a run down of various nutrients just from a curiosity point of view.

E.g. what are my selenium levels compared to the general population?
Whoa whoa whoa. No need to besmirch Awk's good name here.
I only see a test for each exact vitamin one by one. For instance Vitamin D is $49. Where is the full run-up?
I can't donate blood, for fairly bogus reasons, this is true for a surprisingly large subset of the population
Like I said, this is absolutely a die-size tradeoff IMO. That 75% IPC gain is only around a ~20% difference in geekbench and at similar sustained power levels. If you want AVX2/512+SMT, a slightly narrower core of realistically 6+ wide with uOP-cache upto 8-wide is an acceptable tradeoff. We have seen Zen 3 go wider from Zen 1/2[1], so wider x64 designs with AVX/SMT should be coming, but this is the squinting part with TSMC 5nm vs 7nm.

Just curious because I would like to learn a different perspective, why would it matter? I could see maybe for a trial but here, on the internet, what is the issue?
Insanely cool.
Not orbital. Sub-orbital. Only their 1st stage rocket has landed, which mainly goes up, its nowhere near orbital velocity.

They plan to land the 2nd stage of starship, which will have reached orbital speeds. But that is a huge challenge that they have not attempted yet.
My comment wasn't very focused, so I'll clarify: GP seemed to imply that there is some hidden risk about fusion power that nobody is aware of or talking about, as if such a risk is the greatest factor currently bogging down fusion research. I wanted them to expand on that thought, as it's definitely not a perspective I'm familiar with.
My vote goes to short stories by Somerset Maugham. The subtle humour in the stories are a delight to read. He also captures the human nature with honesty and sympathy.
What's most insane to me with a degree system:
Everyone who has the same 'degree' could have had wildly different classes. What's the point?
Maybe we need to dial it back to more of a 'certificate' based approach? Instead of the letters-beside-your-name, list the completed certificates. And this also gives the opportunity to better upgrade skills in the specific problem area. And maybe it can encourage more interdisciplinary study.
Not who you responded to but in my personal experience it is about 80% of what I've tried to build. I mostly had trouble with VideoLan x264 (but oddly not x265).

> Assuming a random (but TLB friendly) pattern the M1 manages a latency of around 30-33ns to main memory, about half of what I've seen anywhere else. Impressive.

Cite your number please. Anandtech measured M1's memory latency at 96ns, worse than either a modern Intel or AMD CPU: "In terms of memory latency, we’re seeing a (rather expected) reduction compared to the A14, measuring 96ns at 128MB full random test depth, compared to 102ns on the A14."

Late 20s early 30s is a fairly good demographic that employers target.

It's not too old that an investment in training a new employee won't be lost to retirement or health issues and not to young that the indiscretions of youth will affect work performance and attendance.

Some (sexist) employers might have concerns with women of that age getting pregnant and leaving to raise children but most smart ones will see employees who have children (Male or Female) as a benifit as it tends to discourage switching careers due to the inherent responsibility of raising kids, mortgages, health insurance etc.

Now would probably be a good time to look into online school as almost all schools are offering this due to the pandemic. Maybe You can keep working and go back to school at the same time, that would be almost universally viewed in a positive light because You will have shown that You are motivated.

If I was that age again I would do it, and I did do it. I was 28 years old when I went back to school and changed fields. I don't regret it but since then I have changed again to a completely different "field" of work, literally...

I accidentally ordered $200 worth of items through prime pantry, 95% non-perishables (including 24pk Monster, Solo cups, paper plates/bowls) to my home in the MidWest instead of where I was at on the West Coast.

2 minute phonecall, said keep everything and instantly refunded the entire order as a credit (my choice)

Luckily had somebody to bring everything inside back home too, haha.
I’m confused by this comment too. Why Detroit? It has the third highest rate of any US city in 2017. Was that the point?

For comparison the US national rate in 2019 was 5 and NYC (more comparable to London and Shanghai) has a rate of 2.8.

Yeah, look ... I like the 2A too and don’t think guns cause higher murder rates. But there is no data to support the narrative that Europe and other countries are more dangerous in some way because they don’t have guns.

Edit: To be clear, there is no evidence that they are more dangerous. They look safer.
When our daughter was one year old, we gave her some child-safe finger paints. Finger prints and hand prints were some of the first "drawings" she made without any parental instruction. She does not have any inherent access to global information flows or other esoteric explanations that would bind her to her ancient relatives -- beyond a bunch of shared DNA and common physiology & brain development.

She also prefers bright colors, and red pigments are probably some of the most accessible in nature that might be more robust to the sands of time (i.e. survivorship bias).
You say that, yet I will take that as evidence supporting my argument. Chinese food served in US restaurants has little in common with actual Chinese food, it’s common for them to have completely different menus for people who actually speak Chinese with a different set of dishes. Indian food went through a similar transition, where there is a distinctly American take generally served.

PS: Hot isn’t a complex flavor it’s exactly what’s left over after you extract the complexity from many ethnic dishes.
Actual experiments for causation take more time. The abstract itself addresses this: "Given the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic and the proven safety of vitamin D supplementation, it therefore appears highly debatable and potentially even unethical to await results of such trials before public health action is taken."

I guess the real question is whether you'll wish you had been taking vitamin D if you get Covid-19. While this could end up being placebo, there's some compelling evidence that you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Just had the idea of explicit music videos. They always had the annoying disclaimer. Very hard to ignore and miss.

Why not just be transparent in there actions. Add an icon to thing they deem offensive to there ethics. Dump it from the Main page algorithm feed. And make the icon clickable to a page where it shows why you added they censored or tagged the content. People need to see this stuff go down in real-time and why it happens. But leave free speech intact.

Or make everyone pay for it then they can do whatever they want. Disappear anything Lol

My Engineering Thesis had an oral component it was legitimately of the most nerve-wracking things I ever went through. I had to spend about half an hour in a room with 3 professors getting absolutely grilled over everything from basic theoretical knowledge to detailed technical nuances specific to my experiment. At times it felt like they were deliberately trying to trip me up by asking leading questions and trying to steer me in the wrong direction.

It would be very, very hard to bluff your way through something like this with Charisma alone. You have to be damn sure you know your topic in and out. For once off exams before graduation I think it is acceptable but I'd pity students who had to go through a grilling like this every couple of months.
Honestly that sounds like a pretty good trade-off. The percentage of people who are ridiculously wealthy goes from tiny to tinier, and in exchange everybody else gets a good shot at a comfortable life.

I'm not sure the email comparison is good. We usually do a lot of business via email. So it makes sense to have records. Whereas texting we are just casually having conversations. Most people don't use it for business, though I'm sure some do.

I do completely understand archiving specific texts (sorry if this wasn't clear in my original statement), but the mass saving is weird to me. It feels akin to having a conversation with my friend and them just pulling out a microphone and recording our conversation. And then when asking why the answer is "for my records" or "it's my data". And I'm accused of being the weird one. I guess I just fundamentally don't understand.

I thought the whole article was about how mobile apps are taking away from the open web.
There are several studies where vitamin D works (amazingly well), and one study where it does not.

But in the study where it does not work, it's an oral supplement given after hospitalization. Oral vitamin D takes a while to elevate blood levels so the fact that such regimen doesn't work, doesn't prove much.
It can be mentioned as a footnote, because it is scientific fact.

However, given the vastly higher death rates among people with darker skin, it should be shouted from the rooftops.

Unfortunately, this would put into question the narrative that anything but systemic racism may be to blame.

Furthermore, pointing out that people with darker skin are not adapted to live up north could easily be misconstrued as an anti-immigration stance.

“Far-right quacks are pushing unproven treatment for COVID” makes for a juicy headline.

So, who wants to be the first to put their reputation on the line?

I wanted to say "as someone who tends to follow the unix philosophy" and realized the irony of saying that regarding ZFS...

That said, I generally agree with you in that do one thing and do it well is a laudable design goal. However, I also am very excited about encrypted ZFS for one main reason: backups.

Okay two. Snapshots and backups!

ZFS is absolutely amazing to use as a home NAS that does daily (or more) snapshots and then nightly differential syncs to a second location. In the past I had to run all my own infrastructure to do this, as the data was in the clear.

Now my ZFS nerd friend and I can simply swap backup space and have "zero knowledge" of the others' files, while retaining the amazing features of ZFS snapshots+zfs send/receive.

This also tickles the "create an encrypted ZFS backups as a service" service itch for me, but then I realize I'd be creating it for all 13 potential users of the service. That said, I'm sure rsync.net will offer this functionality shortly - which would make them a viable backup target for me.
I would think the geothermal water can be used for energy at the same time it's used for lithium extraction.
> Pipelines capable of producing computer graphics films and games typically generate, store, and transmit great quantities of 3D data, which we call "scene description". Each of many cooperating applications in the pipeline (modeling, shading, animation, lighting, fx, rendering) typically has its own special form of scene description tailored to the specific needs and workflows of the application, and neither readable nor editable by any other application. Universal Scene Description (USD) is the first publicly available software that addresses the need to robustly and scalably interchange and augment arbitrary 3D scenes that may be composed from many elemental assets.

> SpaceX's value add is eventually providing economies of scale

This has become a popular line of contrarian bunk as of late.

I am an aerospace engineer. I am also a Tesla valuation sceptic. The work SpaceX has done is revolutionary.

In materials, numerical methods, logistics and technology, they have pioneered. Common knowledge in 2001 was reusable launch could not compete with expendable vehicles. SpaceX overturned that paradigm with a fraction of the competition’s cash. Ignoring that is to reduce the problem to a simplistically technical level that detaches entirely from reality.
Here is one reference, others I've seen are similar:

https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminD-HealthProfessiona...

There is not complete consensus, but a lot of the large deltas are due to Vitamin D being fat soluble - if you are deficient, you can take far higher doses for a while and they will be stored in your liver. But if you continue to do so once you are at good levels, it can do damage:

"Hypercalcemia, in turn, can lead to nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, neuropsychiatric disturbances, pain, loss of appetite, dehydration, polyuria, excessive thirst, and kidney stones."

That paper's recommendations are 600IU RDA, and that it is safe to take up to 4000IU without supervision of a doctor (i.e. regular blood tests to make sure you're not overshooting recommended blood concentration).

This paper suggests up to 10000IU is safe:

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-much-vitamin-d-is-t...

and that "A daily intake ranging from 40,000–100,000 IU (1000–2500 micrograms), for one to several months, has been shown to cause toxicity in humans" (with several case reports).

Apparently Dr. Fauci takes 6000IU per day.
https://vitamindwiki.com/Dr.+Fauci+takes+6%2C000+IU+of+Vitam...

While these are different, 4000IU, 6000IU, and 10000IU are well within an order of magnitude as upper limits of what you can tolerate without side effects ("upper limits" being more than RDA, but won't cause a separate medical problem)

I've seen some studies say that 5000IU or 10000IU is safe, differ a little bit about the normal RDA, but there's a ton of similar ranges.
> He did popularize, if not invent the idea of a metalness map.

I don’t know what the precise differences are, but FWIW we had an uber shader that we called “uber shader”, with a metalness map (a texture driven metallic BRDF lobe, not just full color specular) at PDI in the late 1990’s, written by Sing Choong Foo (who worked on the Lafortune model). I’d guess Pixar and other studios had one too by that time.
The corrolary to your message is “don’t build mega-projects” which doesn’t make sense to me.

And no, Tesla didn’t start by selling batteries: they started by selling expensive cars which didn’t need the batteries at the same scale as mass-produced car; which kind of destroys the meaning of whole of your initial message.

Authors controlled for age, sex. But I'd like to see additional control for race. Black people have less Vitamin D due to melanin blocking sunlight. And black people are disproportionately impacted by COVID.

So I'm now curious whether it's really Vitamin D deficiency that's causing the poor outcomes, or some racial socioeconomic factor that Vitamin D is simply a marker for.
Some people are saying that Mr. Pai has been a good force for the FCC and he hasn't done anything that terribly wrong. I strongly disagree and for proof I present the FCC's handing of the 2017 Net Neutrality repeal process.

Do you remember the millions of comments left by the public in opposition to NN? Do you remember that these comments were created by bots and not real people? Do you remember that after closer investigation it was revealed that the vast majority of "real" comments were for NN, not against it and that a large percentage of those comments in opposition were from Russian bots?

When questioned about it the FCC claimed that there was a problem with their logs during the voting period and they were unable to provide information about where these comments came from. As far as I can remember, there was no real consequence for these actions and the FCC simply continued to dismantle NN.

This type of activity is unforgivable and was a malicious attempt to put the will and good of ISPs over that of the American people. For this, Mr. Pai should have been shown the door years ago. I guess it's better late than never.

MDPI follows an author-pays model, which incentivizes it to accept all submissions instead of publishing only good-quality work. In fact, this publisher is highly suspect, as it has allegedly pressured peer reviewers to accept low-quality work for publication in the recent past:
