According to [1], they must release enough information for others to replicate the AI model: "As a condition of entering CASP, DeepMind—like all groups—agreed to reveal sufficient details about its method for other groups to re-create it. That will be a boon for experimentalists, who will be able to use accurate structure predictions to make sense of opaque x-ray and cryo-EM data."

Marriage does not make people wealthy at all. Instead, wealth makes people more likely to marry.

People with real issues, whether mental or criminal or sick etcetc both don't marry and have significantly smaller income. People with issues divorce more often and have smaller income too.
Well, at least that example has content. The 'tactics' list can largely be executed without any content at all. Just hollering and exaggeration and boasting. Like our current administration.
"As for the difference between state and HHS Protect data, an HHS official contends state numbers “are always going to be lower” by up to 20%. That’s because hospitals could lose Medicare funding if they do not report to HHS, the official says, but face no penalty for failing to report to the state. So rather than expect identical numbers, HHS looks for state and federal data to reflect the same trajectory—which they do in all cases for COVID-19 inpatient data, according to another confidential CDC analysis of HHS Protect, covering all 50 states.

"Yet the same analysis found 27 states recently alternated between showing more or fewer COVID-19 inpatients than HHS Protect—not always just fewer, as HHS says should be the case. Thirty states also showed differences between state and HHS Protect figures that were frequently well above the 20% threshold cited by HHS, and HHS Protect data fluctuated erratically in 21 states (see chart, below)."

It's not. There are fundamental differences in the hardware implementation of handling the instruction codes independent of actual instruction set. This in some senses is no different than AMD being better at x86 than Intel.

My high level understanding is that they integrated a number of components into the chip that typically are external and that they had a trick or two surrounding out of order execution that yielded benefits. Last, they have a more modern manufacturing process and all of this contributes to a significantly better, lower power chip.

This is true, and this is an Apple story. But I've seen this attitude on HN a while, including a comment here about AWS' Gravitron processors. It feels like ARM is similar to electric vehicles: Everyone here acts like "of course it's a better, more efficient design" but there are physical forces holding it back. That's just the feeling I get.
Not sure what you mean by "all pro level macs". But the macbook pro M1 has no discrete GPU. It does however have a "neural processor" to accelerate ML.
I am a man living with my mother. My mother is relatively healthy, she can work, but she cannot afford to live on her own (even before the pandemic), so she lives with me and I pay the rent, and it has been this way for me since my twenties too. I am always extremely hesitant to tell anyone I am living with my mother, and yeah, it puts a freeze on dating to the point that I don't even attempt to date anymore either.

At least being men our dating prospects can actually improve the older we get, and for me I'll be pretty well off financially when I do live on my own, but that's small comfort in the present...
We don't really know what the needs of the other processors they are going to jam into here will look like. It's likely the next generation M series CPU will need significantly more cooling.

Also, I'd far rather they added an M.2 storage slot (or 2!) rather than making their already small device even smaller.

That said... a fanless, USB-C powered mini of any size would also be A+ as well.

Amazing new details of the Fakhrizadeh assassination emerge in the Iranian press: IRGC affiliated Fars news reports the assassination was done using an automatic machine gun operated with a remote control and not with gunmen who were on the ground.

According to the report Fakhrizadeh and his wife were on their way to spend the weekend at their house in a Tehran suburb. There were three security cars with them and at a certain point the leading car left the motorcade to do a preliminary security check of the house.

Right after the car at the front of the motorcade left shots were fired on Fakhrizadeh’s car and it stopped. Fakhrizadeh stepped out of the car thinking his car hit an object on the road or there was a problem with the engine.

At that point shots were fired again from a Nisan pickup truck which stopped 150 meters from Fakhrizadeh’s car. The shots were fired from an automatic machine gun which was mounted on the pickup truck and operated by remote control.

Fakhrizadeh was hit by three bullets – one hit him in the spine. Seconds later the Nisan pickup truck exploded in what looks like a self destruct mechanism. According to Fars news Iranian security forces identified the owner of the pickup truck who left Iran on October 29th.

Fars reported the assassination operation lasted only three minutes and was all done by remote control with no gunmen on the ground.

Thanks for these, I was aware after researching (for years!) places where we'd want our 'forever home'.

Above, I specifically called out something you can't generally build for, which is flooding. Flooding comes either from water running down hill or from below, due to rising bodies of water. Our house is at the top of a very shallow rise/'hill', so we don't have to worry about the former. That we're more than 100 feet above any relevant body of water protects us from the latter.

The other items are generally about high winds, and this house is pretty much proof against that. It was massively over-built.

The only thing it could not withstand is a direct hit from a powerful tornado.

Carbs aren't "bad". You should be getting around 40% of your calories from carbs.

The problem is that some foods have nothing but carbs, and if you eat a lot of those, you'll either consume too many calories overall or fail to get necessary nutrients. So eat fewer white, starchy foods like potatoes, and more leafy foods, squashes, and other colorful foods.

Similarly, whole grains bring a lot of vitamins and fiber, while refined grains like white rice are reduced to just the starch. It's just fine that those whole grains also have carbs in them. That's actually a good thing, becuase you do need calories for energy. You just need more than that.
Sympy is an incredible versatile tool. Last semester when I was TA for a linear algebra 101 course, I used it to generate 30-ish different versions of an homework based on a LaTeX template to output the questions for the students and the answers to facilitate the correction after in two separate pdf.
You’re right but he’s also a super outlier. I think people working on hard problems (like the Deepmind founders) also don’t fall into this category but they’re so few and far between that they’re a footnote.
I'm interested that the recipe recommends two fry steps at the same temp. Most recipes I've seen suggest the first fry be at a lower temp, like a confit. I'm guessing it's because it would mean keeping another frier at a low temp that wouldn't be useful for anything else.

as an avid IRC user in the past... discord and slack added considerable value in the form of built-in search history, voip/video chat, integrations with other platforms and games. IRC was a great tool during the 90s and early 2000s for me, but going back would just be a nostalgia trip for me.

i think the constant comparison between the previous gen chat platform of IRC and slack/discord is just extremely tiresome.
I’ve never heard of anyone referring to installed base as market share in either tech, financial, or retail circles.

Market share always refers to sales in the “market” over a period of time.

Hence “market” share. It’s referring to trading activity. Not usage activity.
As an example of un-intended side effects the vaccine trial I'm on sets off HIV tests.

This obviously means HIV will increase.

Plus other things to consider. Like conspiracies. And the fact the cheap HIV test I ordered from China can tell me if I'm on the placebo or not.

With deaths from lockdown blowing up, HIV will explode anyway after shutting do the world economy for so long. But don't think it'll be smooth sailing politically and with today's media it's a nightmare.
Why is it relevant? Really? It’s relevant because as soon as it’s clear the emperor has no clothes you wont be able to redeem it at any exchanges because it’s garbage.

> Sounds like a great way to make a lot of money. Tether is currently trading 1:1 with USD (yes, even at exchanges that offer real USD). It should be easy to short-sell a bunch of tether, and buy it back when in collapses. And unlike short-selling stocks, your downside should be relatively low as tethers can't realistically go above their current price.

All crypto exchanges are rigged casinos. The only way to win is not to play.

Tether absolutely swings up and down depending on how many people are fleeing into or out of cryptos at any given moment. We’ve seen like +5-7% and -20%. That’s enough to blow away any leveraged position.

Finally, of course, you neglect counterparty risk. I have to put up collateral on this short which any of these exchanges could simply run for the hills with, as they do, regularly. Seriously, who lets you short Tether except for Bitfinex - and what will they pay you out in, more Tether? They don’t have a bank account. That’s why they invented Tether.

Because of his involvement in the infamous net neutrality case, his departure, while routine, certainly merits a mention by those interested in upholding those principles. Especially since the fight to keep net neutrality was mired in controversy iirc.

You do it by some combination of:

- finding something in your job history that speaks to you. Some kind of thru line of experience or areas that really grabbed you

- professional development opportunities and/or team transfers you can do at existing jobs. At many places it’s possible to switch to adjacent teams. In many ways easier than getting hired outside the company.

- build a personal brand. Blog. Speak. Etc. Don’t be afraid you’re a newb. There’s a bigger audience for intro material than high end advanced stuff.

It's particularly funny seeing how enamored Gibson was with Japan. Very much an artifact of the 80's. Even though, truth be told, he's never been that good at writing Asian characters. I love his work but dammit for someone who stole so much from Asian aesthetic, he always relegates his Asian characters to stereotypes or the weak and ineffectual^[1].

That said, I think the bones of Neuromancer could make a great modern story. Particularly the concept of the Tessier-Ashpools being these incestuous, almost pseudo-deities due to their wealth. The wasps' nest metaphor and all. I'd also love to see Wintermute/Neuromancer connected with surveillance capitalism and our mass collecting of data.

[1]: I haven't read all of Gibson's novels so please correct me if there's a novel out there with better Asian characters.

Look at tax/insurance burden in all these developed and aging countries. Most of that money is going towards paying off the older generations, their ailments and their debt, and it's still not enough, debt just keeps growing.

Then look at the tax/insurance burden of developing countries. Sure, these people earn nominally less, but they often live relatively better lives. They're living lives closer to what our boomer parents lived.

Real estate prices are a distraction. These are high because interest rates are low. It's probably not a good idea to buy real estate even if you can afford it.
It's probably about system resources - VM reservations for each stack and heap etc. Not a lot of checks inside kernel thread creation code; and not a lot to do about it if anything fails. My friend Mike Rowe said it this way: its like having an altimeter on your car so if you go off a cliff, you know how far it is to the ground. When hard limits on system resources are exhausted, it can be very hard to write code to recover. Imagine if the kernel call fail recovery code needed to create a thread to handle the exception!

This comment is mis-timed. Would have been true a few years ago, but Apple has a pretty solid line-up of desktops at the moment and has been keeping it somewhat fresh since the iMac Pro was launched.

This my favorite question asked. Being a linux user for a while I have been debating either to continue using linux or switch to M1 macbook as the ARM processor has been really tempting due to its performance.

But if you love customizing your environment I would say go for linux and if you want just something that works out of the box go for Mac.

I am really hoping if they support linux on the latest M1 Mac.
Eh, I'm not sure what point I was trying to make, and to be clear I don't think your comment was racist.

Culture is obviously correlated with race in some respects. It's when you start talking about the reason behind some of those correlations that you risk (rightly or wrongly) being called a racist.

Okay, I might believe you if most of what you said weren't either factually incorrect, or misleading. Let's break it down point by point:

* Inherited fortune - Questionable. All I was able to find on his family was that they were Holocaust survivors. Let's just say I'll give you that one provisionally, but I'd like to see actual evidence, if you have any.

* Bowdoin - Correct.

* Is elected official - Obviously.

* Blocks housing - Does this sound like "blocking housing" to you:

> Preston also introduced two ballot initiatives approved by voters in the election. Proposition I raised the transfer tax rate for property sales valued over $10 million, intended to fund affordable housing. Proposition K authorizes the city of San Francisco to build or acquire up to 10,000 units of affordable housing.[21]" [0]

Sorry, does not pass the smell test.

Moreover, "acting against" something is not even close to "blocking" that thing. You're redefining terms to fit your preconceived narrative. It's almost as if you have a personal reason to hate him. [1]

* Gentrifier - Again, no, you do not get to redefine the term "gentrifier." If you think that's acceptable, then I can just redefine the issue out of existence, too. Sorry.

* Never had a job: Incorrect per his LinkedIn profile. [2] As well, "Preston worked for a nonprofit called the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, where he fought evictions and did advocacy for tenant rights." [1]

* Is obscenely rich by socialist standards: So, wait, now we're redefining "rich" in terms of "socialist standards?" No. Sure, he has a home in Alamo Square, which has a median home value of over $1M, and, if we accept without any actual evidence that he owns those other two properties you say he does, that puts the value of his assets at least at around $3M. But, we have no idea how much debt he has, so, his net worth could be rather pedestrian given he's an attorney in San Francisco.

Sorry, not buying it.

So, 4 out of your 7 bullet points are either factually incorrect, misleading, or completely unproven, and you expect me to believe you? Methinks thou dost protest too much. This just sounds like you have some personal axe to grind, which is completely irrelevant to whatever semblance of an argument you're trying to make. Did someone call you a gentrifier in the past, or something?

If you could bring something that vaguely resembles a coherent set of facts, then I'll believe you.

You may be focusing too closely on the C aspect; the point of the demonstration in the OP is to show that Lunatic can gracefully sandbox and interoperate with any code that can be compiled to WASM, of which C code is just one example. Ideally you wouldn't need to access any OS libs from within the sandbox (indeed, much of the point of the sandbox is to provide alternatives to OS facilities), and even if you did you could still access those libs in an un-sandboxed form from within your ordinary Rust code (and yes, crashing at that point would take down the process, but it's still strictly better to have an option to run C code that doesn't take down the process when crashing).
Very sad that this is likely his last race in F1 though. He gets a lot of flack for crashing all the time, and complaining on the radio, but he seems like one of the nicest guys in the sport. The palms of his hands were burnt and there were reports he had cracked ribs, so it doesn’t seem like he’ll be back in the car for the last two races.
Lol, how do you think _we_ felt about it?

It was a sad, sad day when our CVP forced our org to cancel our Slack plan and move to Teams. What a garbage piece of software it was back then. Probably still is, but it's been years since I was last subjected to it.
The problem, of course, is that you can replicate that level of safety, if it matters to you, anywhere, by locking yourself in your house.

Since the US isn't an island, anytime SF loosens up, CV will immediately spike anyway, so no real advantage gained.

You end up creating a backlash.

If the vaccines live up to their advance billing some small number of lives will be saved, but it is very unclear whether, in the long run, more lives will be lost to the costs of a severe lockdown than saved by it.

The English Wikipedia article on Frisian doesn't even list "Frysian" as an alternative spelling, so this is an error on the part of the OP.
The critical issue with such design choices is, how do you fix/update such code? If there's no driver and no kernel module, it gets knarly (and beyond the average consumer's skills).

I am not sure that the 5 specific puzzles maxed out at the 4000 also represent the very best, most fun, and most insightful. Sometimes the reason a puzzle comes up as an extreme outlier is somewhat obtuse, and we are more inclined to remove the puzzle after we see how users interact with it.

For example https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/568140 is mostly rated 4000 because ...Qe1+ is so compelling that it pulls in even excellent players, while there's an easy material pickup on the board.

But there are exceptional puzzles throughout the 3000s, like 3500-rated https://www.chess.com/puzzles/problem/769056 , which absolutely anyone can follow, but few can solve on the first try.
They don't fullly know. They rely on statistics.

I hope they at least ask subjects about exposure.
