It's worth noting that it's still possible to achieve low latency with modern hardware and even software to some extent, even with all the input filtering on touchscreens. The modern GPU rendering stack won't be able to do it, but I was able to do it in software without giving up the Linux kernel, IRQs, or the input stack.

My experiment got down to ~10 ms average tap latency on a 60 Hz phone with a touchscreen scanning at 240 Hz: https://twitter.com/kdrag0n/status/1291213993219039232

Source code: https://github.com/kdrag0n/touchpaint

I have to say that writing on phones really feels much more interactive and natural when the latency is so low. I don't personally feel like these ranges of latency are that big of a deal on desktop computers where input is indirect, but it feels much more significant on phones where your interactions are right underneath your finger.
Do you think half the programmers in the country could make it through a FB interview?
Wait until you hear about gold index funds/trusts....

Anyway, the reason you buy it is so you don't need to manage the security.

Both Binance and Circle Pay ended United States operations causing my friends to either move their Bitcoin or they didn't and had it sold at 3k/coin and can get it from their states "lost money".
Taking National Investment Seriously
They were about to. I'm pretty sure they were using the drone to get ahead of that problem. Seems like it happened to fast.
You mentioned mobile at the end of your comment, and I'm wondering how this works. Isn't it very cumbersome to attach a hardware device to your phone each time you need to login somewhere?
How do you safely lower a platform that might break at any point?
A ton of them. Pretty much any chamber of commerce, the NFL, many of the big software foundations (though some are 501(c)(3) organizations). So they range from small and local to very big money.
And Fujutsu as well, I think they are making the fastests chips at the moment, or at least the fastest systems with ARM.
> Her point is more than that. I think that she was trying to say that ML systems have an inherent bias that is independent of their data.

In general I take these types of tropes to be cloaked (politically correct) way of saying "fuck x group".

The problem is the desire to not devote resources to verifying the legitimacy of individual claims and instead banning the practice wholesale. Honestly, why make a mockery of this? Chastise people who are obviously trolling or scamming the system.

It would have required a lot of resources to verify every individual claim and that would have raised prices for everyone. The burden of proof has been shifted to where it should always have been: on the person wanting to bring the animal.
If the value of a cryptocurrency is dependent on the community of the faithful, it's possible to "start the engines of faith", and keep it going for a long time. Fine art has been a large component of generational wealth in the West for the past six centuries. Of course, art has value as aesthetic objects; the same can be said for the potential use of cryptocurrency, however nebulous it may be. Religions, too, demand faith and, once they get started, often have staying power on the order of centuries.
Which in turn means you benefit from everyone else who's already been stung. KYC solutions' risk:reward ratios start high, but asymptotically approach 0 as the provider learns from its customers' problems. If you're signing up for a well-established one, you're able to free-ride on all the learning that's already been done.
Roku recently released a software update that added AirPlay support [0].

If you have iOS, you can beam HBO Max content from iPhone to TV. Not as ideal as having the HBO app on the Roku OS itself, but better than having to buy extra hardware.

I personally would not make this choice for new projects. I only use technology that is appropriate for the domain I'm using it in. Although, I am hoping this trend encourages better tooling and more modernization of SQL.

As others stated, my concerns are primarily that SQL lacks a lot of general-purpose language features (modules, namespacing, composability, no easy way to debug, etc.) which seem to be ideal for writing applications.

I would be interested to see a project written with PL/Python + PL/SQL stored functions in Postgres. PL/Python functions would be the interface between API calls and the database, and SQL would do what it is currently designed to do: straight-forward data manipulation.
You love to see it :) even in non-ideal situations such as this loss.
Avoiding Confrontation
It's normal for rights to be taken away from criminals. Or do you mean pre-conviction... I think it's ok if it involves manual legwork.
I think Marvel and Disney would be very disappointed if this trend continues across the board. At least if we go by Marvel’s last decade results.
I read that, not clear without reading the email whether it was a formal offer to resign.

If an employee tells their boss they have a plan to offer a resignation on x day or do not get y or are considering it they can fire the employee before then, but I assume they can not push around the day they offer a resignation.

An employer not wanting to keep an employee who might soon resign is understandable of course.

I am sure it can get fiddly on what counts as a formal offer to resign and that courts make calls one way or another based on ambiguous language.

Without the email though it's not clear to me. For better or worse it comes across as Timnit Gebru bosses were eager to shoo her out the door though.
1. They took all the different chips and crammed more of them onto one chip. Now the different parts of the computer can talk to each other faster without any more work.

2. The new chip does lots of little things waaaay faster than the old chip does a handful of big things.

3. Apple figured out how to do a lot more things before they need to. Like if you did all of the math problems in your textbook ahead of time and then when the teacher eventually gives you the assignment you hand in the ones they asked for.
It is tricky to apply American norms of political correctness in other environments, which have different history and different conflicts. I think, admitting that the norms are in fact American, might already be too controversial.

Even more tricky is when you realize that SJWs in other countries often come from privileged backgrounds (practically all of them have university education), and get their ideology from internet, mostly reading American sources. So, even if you hire a local team of Slovakian, Romanian, or Bulgarian ideologically pure people as moderators, they may be very sensitive about any kind of anti-Black discrimination or stereotyping (because that's what they discuss daily on Twitter), but quite ignorant about the Roma.

Also, in Europe you have lots of white groups hating other white groups, e.g. because of them speaking different language. So if the rule is that hate speech is okay as long as it is against whites...
If streaming does indeed come to overtake theaters as the primary distribution method of new releases going forward, I'm curious about how significantly this will upend the industry due to direct competition from classic films.

For example, the way I purchase and consume a book is identical whether it is a classic or a new release. And my reading habits skew heavily toward classics.

Same for the way I consume music, and I listen to releases from the 60's - 2000's just as much as new stuff.
This doesn't seem too far of a reach: "Abusing the system" => Taking advantage of services for people with mental and physical disabilities => Taking advantage of people with disabilities.
Hypothetically, with these new memory architectures, you could get the best of both worlds. Best case, you get a huge speed up if everything fits in the high-speed RAM, worst case, you fall back to the "old" RAM.

Side note, while Apple charges ridiculous prices for their upgrades, Mac Pros are actually some of the more ""reasonably priced"" computers comparatively. I've looked at HP and Lenovo's equiv. workstations, and you pretty much get screwed by everyone at that scale.

My desktop can take up to dual 128 GB sticks but one stick costs over $1,000, so I'm stuck with my 32 GB stick :(

... OTOH, it's pretty insane you can get 128GB of RAM for $1,000 nowadays. I remember when 8GB was a lot and cost several hundred. Time and miniaturization go on I guess...
That's the part that is difficult: Efficient wake up on completion.

Network I/O is usually monitored via a so called I/O loop. Local file I/O are often not exposed with asynchronous APIs (yes I know it's changing on linux quickly). But what about locks? Let's say you want a tread safe queue, how do you wake up the right function when the mutex is unlocked? I suspect this is the reason of all this complexity.
Speaking for myself, I live in an apartment with thin walls and can't blast my sound as loudly as it would be in a theater.
I'd prefer Capital One not have access to and sell all my purchase data.
Screen captures aren't too common since they would incur an additional re-encoding step (losing a minor bit of fidelity), so for the more "professional" rippers it isn't a proper option. Instead they use the raw data stream from the streaming platform, strip the DRM and reassemble the video file. Of course the DRM stripping is the hard part with not much public knowledge being available.

As you mentioned, the quality of those rips is a bit worse than a blu-ray rip, but if the blu-ray isn't available there's not much you can do. People will just enjoy a slightly worse quality version (just like they did with shaky cam rips).
For the background and how things go wrong, you might enjoy the book "Confronting Managerialism" by Spender and Locke. The Lean folks also have a lot of good critiques. A book that sticks in my mind is "Simple Excellence: Organizing and Aligning the Management Team in a Lean Transformation", but there are a bunch. And for software specifically, Mary Poppendieck's work is great, as well as Reinertsen's "Principles of Product Development Flow".
To add to this, don't forget that post WW2 the West agreed that the US would be the world police and that by having a singular super power wars would be less likely (since when countries have large militaries they want to justify them. Like... the US does)[0]. Thus allowing the US to create its military industrial complex, which has been highly profitable for it (a lot because of the cold war).

[0] This surprisingly panned out decently well, considering we haven't had a war between major countries in a long time.
And, when reading it, I want to remember the backstory - that (if we can believe her story) Google went to unreasonable lengths to try to block the paper.

Maybe someone could post it here when it's published?

Disney already announced that Pixar's Soul will release to Disney+ the same week as WW1984 and will not be a "premium" release like Mulan. That does seem to indicate that Disney is feeling the same pressure, though I believe they still haven't announced plans for any of the Marvel properties yet.
The regulations require neither of these things.
I had a couple of interviews at trading firms and the largest ones required skill tests such as clicking buttons within a specific time period, riddles, etc.
Other businesses are always harmed during the rise of a dominant business, that's what happens when a dominant business takes marketshare away from you. The question at hand is whether they took their share unfairly. In Standard Oil's case, the government found that they did, which maybe happened too late in Standard Oil's case.

But even though it takes time to determine wrongdoing, we still prosecute crimes after they happen instead of before for obvious reasons. You wait until there is evidence of harm to consumers. Maybe the government has evidence, this is just an early article after all, but again, it's hard to imagine someone unable to stop using Facebook or Instagram or whatever, there's a lot of social media out there.
Well... yeah... but they also dropped clock rate from 2.5GHz-ish to 1.7GHz-ish. That could equally well explain the increase in core count at the same TDP. You're gaining about 15% IPC improvement from Kaby->Whiskey [1].

It's an overall improvement, but not as dramatic as "2x cores for 2x perf at the same power"

> It certainly makes sense to me that if you have to smuggle it, you're not going to be smuggling beer cause the risk/reward is so much better smuggling liquor.

That does track with how cocktails were supposed to have gotten much more popular during prohibition at speakeasies, as the alcohol quality was much lower and they needed to cover the poor taste.

Do you only notice the input lag in-games or does it persist when, say, dragging application windows around?
I didn't say that they wouldn't go Arm, I said they wouldn't buy chips from Apple. Apple would never sell it like that.
I personally can't stand the ultrawides. OS support for a huge monitor just isn't where I'd want it to be. Sure I can install applications to handle window management better and whatnot, but even trivial things like fullscreen video don't work well at all.

I'm a huge fan of the LG27GN950. 4k 144hz glory.
Chrome 88: Digital Goods, Lighting Estimation in Augmented Reality, and More
My new M1 Macbook Air arrived today. The excitement was quickly replaced by sober frustration.

Yes apple did a remarkable job with the M1, no they've still lost their mojo when it comes to high quality software.

I've spend the last 3 hours trying the wipe and reinstall the thing, because their non-virgin-os migration assistant is simply unreliable.

So far, I've had issues where the fused Data/OS drive would just split apart, with no clear way on how to properly format the drive back to an installable state. Disk utility giving no indication whatsoever on which level of nested APFS concepts a wipe should even occur. And with absurd error messages like "can't install MacOs, no admin user found" - 'yeah no shit', during install.
I really really really wanna like this machine, but MacOs is stuck in this limbo of not wanting to give you any control, yet not taking over those functions for you, so you constantly have to guess what's doable and expected.

Update:
Right now I'm trying to reinstall Mac Os via a bootable USB drive, which is actually what's recommended by apple support. (hello mid 2000s)

This is basically my last option, before having to bring it into an apple store.

The previous method apple recommended involved downloading Big Sur via the command line, which didn't work for me, becaue curl failed to write to disk.

I mean, how do you even manage to break curl...

Feels just as much work as setting up a linux laptop...

Final update:
Yep, it's dead jim.
Apple support suspects a hardware failure.
Back to the store you go.

I'm gonna spend that money on 4 DevTerm and a box full of beer.

cheers
The last movie I saw in a theater – in March, just days before the U.S. took covid-19 seriously – was 2001: A Space Odyssey, which I had never seen before. It was pretty fantastic to see it big screen a 70mm print (not that I can really tell, heh), especially with a packed theater full of longtime fans and fellow latecomers. But I honestly don't know if I could've sat through its long stretches of weirdness if I had Netflixed it in my living room; I was not at all prepared for how long the opening apes scene would go on for, having only previously experienced it as parody in The Simpsons.

This is incorrect per the article. It clearly states "Wednesday's rule change by the US Department of Transportation now says only dogs qualify as service animals."

So no, the airlines don't have to accept someone's service animal that isn't a dog.

> There really needs to be safe, affordable options for pet/dog owners to travel.

Why? Are you suggesting some form of subsidy? Transporting live animals is expensive, and pet ownership (let alone flying with them) is not a human right. If the market does not land on a safe and affordable option, then so be it, solely the pet owner should bare that cost.
What will actually happen is they'll make the switch to biodegradable plastics. Too few will want to give up the convenience of ready-made packaged foods. It could also require more travel to reach small distributors who don't use plastic, which wastes CO2 and time.

The alternative would be more feasible if we had better-designed, walkable cities. But in North America places are built staggered, public transpo sucks.
Good. I have nephews who are deathly allergic to dogs. They cannot go many places for fear of random dog encounters.

The processor looks at the future instructions it will run, can see that some things can be run ahead of time, and can run multiple multiple instructions in parallel (on the same core). You could run individual multiplications in parallel. Most of those things other ARM processors can do that too, but M1 is bigger in some of those sizes, like how many instructions ahead it looks at, how many things can run at once etc.
What is the point of releasing so many good movies on HBO Max if it is only available is US?
Wouldn't it make more sense to first introduce it in more countries and then use these movies to incentivise more subscriptions?
Because you leveling the playing field is a net loss for them. Companies like to use their information and coordination advantage, and exploit it to their benefit.

It's why some companies will try to find ways to fire you if you share your salary.
I completely agree with you, and I'm thinking of blind people and some people with epilepsy who have animals which can detect and manage their seizures.
Even if you completely obstruct some characters from view, people will still be able to figure out the meaning from context but that doesn't necessarily mean they learned the other variant. And on top of that, they might be reluctant to admit it.

If you really wanted to know, you'd have to show them the characters in isolation. Try for example 發. I bet it's not going to be so straightforward.

In any case, most people don't really get to have the choice but if you're planning to learn both, going with traditional characters first is easier because the simplification is a many-to-one mapping: if you've only known simplified, you won't be aware there are supposed to be different characters in place of the same one you're familiar with. In other words, you don't only have to learn something new but also unlearn what you know and got used to, and the latter part is always more difficult.

For instance (and to stay within the same example), both 發 and 髮, unrelated to each other, were simplified to the same 发. A person who only knows simplified is likely to incorrectly write *頭發 for 'hair' (instead of the correct 頭髮), and there are 2.5M Google hits for this keyword (to be fair, many probably due to the automated conversion, and some might be an intentional pun).
I also found "WebAsm" a bit jarring to see.
Same with Canada as well. Will be a shame if this experiment fails simply because they were unable to capture subscribers from the majority of the world outside the US. People aren't going to wait for it to come to their country, they'll likely pirate it instead...
>> Imagine this: You’ve sent a paper for feedback to 30+ researchers, you’re awaiting feedback from PR & Policy who you gave a heads up before you even wrote the work saying “we’re thinking of doing this”, ... haven’t heard from PR & Policy besides them asking you for updates (in 2 months).

Based on that I assume that the author was soliciting guidance from PR & Policy but didn't receive any. Someone higher up isn't doing their job effectively.
OK, so the market price has gone down since I last looked. Still, even at $10, that's still a valuation of $40 billion. That's in the same league as Dow Chemical and Capital One. So I very much stand by what I said above about fools and their money.
Hands down the best movie experience I've had was this old refurbished theater in my hometown in the 90's and early 00's. Two weekends each month they showed an old movie. Classics from Casablanca, Laurence of Arabia, Fiddler on the Roof, to The Day the Earth Stood Still, Forbidden Planet and War of The Worlds.

Tickets were $4-5, boxes of popcorn and soda's of reasonable size were a $1-2 each, all movies lead with a cartoon and had an intermission.

Best of all the ushers. They would kick you out if you made too much noise and wouldn't let you take your seat if you got up too often.

It's a real shame that movie studios have cut the theaters margin on movies so thin that the theaters can't bring their snack prices down, nor offer a better experience (like kicking people out who can't shut up).
Service dogs are still allowed.
actually in germany you can't get your hands on ANY 5000X series chips. there is basically zero stock.
So does it seem smoother or does it not? I definitely notice the difference with 60fps video and 120Hz+ monitors.

Additionally, another thing I've noticed in the last decade is the very badly PWM-frequency-tuned LED headlights on some cars. Those engineers selected the wrong LED brightness and tuned it to terrible frequencies which leave flicker-trails when you look at or away from them.

Get those PWM frequencies above 500Hz please! Especially get above 200Hz with your LED frequencies at the very least.
good to know, I've just been trying and failing to give them away to friends with young children.

I probably ought to just donate them like the sibling posters suggest. it's not like I get any use out of them now, but psychologically it's kinda hard to think about just giving away something that was so important to me as a kid to someone I don't know and might not even meet.
