Very true. Also having public officials flaunting the rules, isn’t helping either. It’s just gives more power to the anti-masking crowd to point and say well they don’t take is seriously either.
Not to poo-poo this headline, but with a growth curve, your expectation is that every single day will be the worst (until herd-immunity/vaccination). I've seen this headline at least 12 different times on youtube.

It can be deceptive depending on your local area, as well as just exhausting to hear so many times. For example, if you live in New York, yesterday's death toll was 7% of the highest day its ever been.

Yeah was going to buy a 5900X and an NVidia 3070. Can't get either so spent the cash I had lying around on an M1 Mac Mini to play with.

Is this like Stripe Issuing where it is only available to a small number of companies? A lot of newer Stripe products seems to be available to large enterprises only. We applied for that waitlist multiple times but never heard back. What are the revenue or scale requirements for your targeted customers? Is it suitable for fintech e-wallets/banks?
This is a great goal but the time and place for it is not in a super-resolution paper. There are specific conferences, benchmarks and projects where it can be achieved with more efficiency.
Right now this is the most upvoted thing in this thread, once people actually see the point of this website, they will flag it and down vote it into oblivion, as it does not fit their narrative.

All research I can find shows that masks are largely ineffective, i.e. 100,000 people have to wear a mask to prevent 1 infection. Some research suggests masks make things worse by creating a moist cloud in front of your mouth. For example https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/4/e006577

Where can I find research that confirms masks work?

CL is more of an "industrial strength" Lisp. It compiles to the metal [0] so no VM is needed which makes it very fast and also appropriate for embedded applications (e.g. home automation on an RPi or Odroid). It has excellent numerical functions so it's nice for scientific computing (I use it for research others might use Matlab or Julia for), and it contains CLOS, which is probably the most powerful O-O system ever built.

If you need to write a Very Large Lisp program for an industrial application with a lot of moving parts that has to run fast, you probably want Common Lisp.

[0] Racket is now compiled to the metal now too with the recent Chez compiler integration.

What are you comparing this to that makes you think it is nuts?

Square's is 2.6% + $0.10

Paypal's is 2.7%

Fees directly from the merchant card issuers (Visa, Mastercard, etc) are sometimes lower (ranging from 1.4% - 2.6%, and even 3.5% for AmEx) but Stripe is a service that is on top of those fees , and any merchant will add on top of those fees as well.
Yeah, I think that would be reasonable approach..

That was the argument used 50 years ago. It hasn't been true for about 40 years. Unless your genre is "American pop artists" or maybe "Italian renaissance original instruments".
This happened with the Nvidia 2xxx cards too.

I think it's less that they can't keep up with demand, and more that they're "launching" earlier in the production process.

In the past they would have just launched later.

honestly I wonder the same thing, but I think the average consumer views this as something like "first-party scalping". large price movements (in either direction) immediately after release make people dislike the brand.

Censorship with my site has been off the charts. Definitely does not fit the public narrative.
That assumes AI and technology in general will stagnate and never change or grow or create new previously unforeseen technologies. Unless that occurs the job of analysing the ethical and sociological impacts of technology will continue to be relevant.

For Gebru individually, she has a PhD from Stanford's AI Lab and is accomplished in the field outside of ethics. If the utopia you're describing some how occurred in her lifetime she'd have no trouble finding another job.
That is stuff angry gamer kids make up to find a reason to be mad. The reality is that manufacturing is generally slowed due to covid, and demand is generally high due to covid, and nobody can keep up.

It's all going to come down to user experience and versatility. Apple is doing some crazy stuff with the M1, but I personally would chock (most of it) it up more to being clever than true innovation. I think only Intel needs to be concerned right now because they're being outpaced by both AMD and Apple. Additionally if the acquisition of Arm by Nvidia results in what people expect, Intel will basically be losing out in every market.

Going back to versatility, there's no way that AWS or Azure is going to move to Apple silicon for their infrastructure, so there's still a massive market for AMD or other Arm manufacturers to target. For the consumer side unless Apple releases a chip that results in them making a sub-$800 laptop, they're just simply not going to capture a large market. With the rise of devices like Chromebooks in education and home there's still something to be said for Apple devices just being too expensive.

In general, Apple devices also leave a LOT to be desired for any sort of large scale enterprise organization. Unless they go back to their 90's and early 00's mindset, I just can't see this changing.

It's certainly exciting to see the CPU market being upended by Apple and AMD, as well as the potential future for a large architecture shift, but I don't think there's any real threat to market shares as a whole.
Stripe is ideally placed for being an economic platform. They understand developers better than most of their peers. They know how to write and document APIs. They have traction - arguably the most important part of being a platform.

Of course current customers of Stripe like Shopify are already big enough that they could take a stab at empire building themselves. But probably they have no material incentive now as their core business is growing so fast and I am sure Stripe has given them great terms.
Isn't EKS just Kubernetes with custom integrations for various AWS services? If so, how do you meaningfully bring EKS to another cloud without bringing those services? Does EKS call over the public Internet into those other AWS services (and thus lower latency, paying for network usage, etc)? If so, what's the advantage of running EKS anywhere other than on Amazon?

Presumably with EKS you can already run your worker nodes on prem or on GCP or wherever, so is this just moving the masters over as well? If you're willing to run your other AWS services on AWS, what's the big advantage of running EKS outside of Amazon as well?
Nice. Now what I want are higher level protocols than tcp:

Policing one group more than another is how we got to this point in the first place. Past sins, past acts, do not justify discrimination, or selective policing in the future, it will only make the problem of disproportionate punishment worse. It's like Yelp putting a scarlet letter on black owned businesses thinking that will make things better, instead of identifying businesses for people to NOT visit. Separate but equal is over, why are we still debating this?

> Usually there is a few lines at the end stating that wherever this is illegal, these parts are not binding

Personally, this is what I detest the most. There's always a bit in the boilerplate that's akin to "you agree to everything here, even the unenforceable bits. If we're ever challenged on the unenforceable parts after the fact, you still agree to be bound by everything else here."

IA[very_much]NAL, but to me this always sounds like "We can and will stick whatever nonsense we want in this contract, whether the terms are illegal or not, and you will be bound by them for as long as we can get away with it. If you do ever discover the illegal bits, that doesn't void anything else (including any other illegal bits you haven't found yet!) and you can't sue us- you've given up that right and can only use a mediator from our approved list. May the odds be ever in your favor."

This should answer your question and hint what's to come.
The trouble is that it is rare that trig identities are used for simplifying computations.

Most often they are used for simplifying expressions. For that purpose it's not a matter of deducing what they are, but recognizing them in the expression, and spotting the opportunity to use the identity on the path to eliminating terms.

For that purpose one needs to have them memorized in order to spot the opportunity -on the carefully derived homework problem- in the wild.
I don't think this article is saying what you think it says. It's cautioning against cloth masks, like bandanas. It actually affirms that medical masks, those typically used, do work.
Don’t read too much into this — they are just catching up with GCP and Azure here. AWS has a history of introducing half-assed products with great fanfare when the lack of such a product could be a disadvantage for customer acquisition (think Beanstalk, Cognito or Amplify).
Dual 4k/60fps is still very niche at this point. Last I checked the cheapest option is to just get 2 x 15$ graphics cards. The next low end graphics card refresh is expected in Q1 which should solve this for you.
Masks will solve everything! It’s nice we have a scapegoat to blame this on.
Good questions. I'd guess you'd have to make interface pods for those services if possible maybe?

Then before switching providers write new interface pods?

Sounds easier said than done but I guess that's one option.

So is Bitcoin finally becoming legitimate?
I will say that, at least for me, indices and indexes aren’t the same word and mean two different things. This has made me realize that I’ve just naturally made this distinction without really knowing it.

* In a loop i,j,k are the indices. Matrices have indices too.

* Databases have indexes. The things at the back of books are indexes.

Indices are things that represent a position in something. Indexes are the things — the literal “objects” or mappings or trackers.

I don't believe crypto is on the whole in a bubble right now but the fact that Bitcoin Cash has a market cap of >$5B is one of the biggest things that makes me question that.

^ None of them are vertically integrated with customer status quo payment methods. This 'moment of transaction' access to payback across all payment types is astounding. It's easy to do - but don't significantly underestimate the financial value of compounding interest in these quick of terms. This is almost like high frequency trading on small businesses.

The loss ratio and their interest rates will be much more competitive than these outlets -- much less their cost of doing due diligence since a significant portion of your sales go through them.

Also, they clearly get to define the maturity date with the % of transaction payback.

This is one of those -- just try it both ways and see which one you like more.

(Also, not trying to be a shill... honestly feeling like I'm missing out on this huge opportunity... kinda sucks)
People like to feel like they are doing the right thing. The truth doesn't matter in the era of fake news.
This matches my recollection too. I had a calculator, I used it almost exclusively for "wasting" time programming in class, I don't believe I ever used it in an exam.

While the graphing calculators were available we weren't told we needed them so, being on a tight family budget, I didn't have one. My sister, a few years later was told that she had to have a graphing calculator, which she claims she never used
Funny you should mention it, because that's just one of many definitions.

Off the top of my head there's also "strong", as in "the type system is sound" or "not allowing pointer arithmetic".

It's not that clear cut.

>If it were true I feel confident that information would have leaked by now.

Yeah, there's no way for Facebook to be actively listening to conversations on millions of phones connected to private home networks without someone noticing. And that's not even addressing that someone currently or formerly working at Facebook would just blow the whistle at some point.

The problem with this conspiracy theory is that people just don't care about numbers and facts. They usually have an anecdote ("I was talking about cheese and hour later I got an ad for cheese") and that removes any need for hard evidence. Hard evidence that shouldn't be that hard to collect considering you own both the device and the network on which this supposed listening is happening on.
So, I'm not going to say this is definitely the reason, and there's no way around it currently, but this is partially a function of a competitive work environment. Someone is bound to be willing to put in the time, or the threat of it will keep people from exploring (demanding) progressive things like 25-35 hr workweeks.

On the edges, where people are forced to work 60+ hrs a week there's enough leverage of people simply being unwilling to do the job (though even this isn't as true for some elite jobs). On the other hand, if they're just being asked to clock in from 9-5? There would need to be some outrage and push, but this makes you look lazy. There seems to be some progress made on vacations in corporate America, though.

Also, some roles would legitimately suffer or not work at all at 20-30 hrs. I think the ideal is to normally work 40-60 hrs "busy weeks", but not try to load people down when things naturally get slower and let them dip into the time for personal, so it's usually 30-35, or occasionally a bit less.

Add 50 more PCIe lanes, double the bus width, 270mb of cache, 60 cores and a communication protocol then get back to me.

Anandtech ran the numbers a couple years ago and an EPYC processor spent around 60% of its budget on Infinity Fabric (up to 90% of used power with only a couple cores being used).

An M2 based chip might get more done, but it won't use much less power. In truth, I'd guess there's a good chance it bottlenecks on the IO and performance doesn't increase as expected (without widening IO further with all the extra power costs).
Yet the maturity we speak of here are the stories of people stepping into rich, high responsibility community relations, ones paved by their parents.

When you own real estate and don’t work with a management company, that means you deal with tenants yourself. Yes, collecting rent checks is a part of some stories of maturing. Ethnic restaurants often serve as community vehicles for immigration, and will ingratiate yourself with the ethnic community. You will also have a different perspective on the ethnic role of business, and of course when you own such vehicles you also take over your folks relationships. It would be selfish to abandon all the goodwill and debts your parents leave behind, both material and social.

And for the article, we have people inheriting a 1000 year old institution. Yes, we have different stories of what we expect from our young men and women based on where they came, and we often expect that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

The responsibility which is narrated by the article is one of humble yielding before the call of legacy.
