Well there's two issues there. One is if the bootloader is open, which it is.

The second is if there's linux port for that hardware, which it isn't. There's a project underway, seems likely that the CPU (which is still AARCH64) will work, and likely networking. However to make a usable desktop you'll need a GPU which is much harder.
There is a huge difference between adblock and a scraper. The scraper is automated browsing and data harvesting. This can be quantified and creates extra load. Adblock works with local data after the server did it's part and sent all data to the device. It doesn't create additional load on the server.
The technical term for this kind of markup is "stand-off markup" or "stand-off annotation".

There is wealth of research done on stand-off markup since the SGML times, with a renaissance in 2005-2010.

Historically, the main drawback (as highlighted by other comments) is that stand-off needs a way to refer to the content, i.e. a pointing mechanism. Pointers in a pointing mechanism can be either a) hard to write but easy to maintain or b) simple to write but prone to breaking after a change (and thus requiring support from authoring tools). Nobody has found a viable ergonomic balance yet.
And almonds don't lactate. Do you call almond milk "almond-flavoured water"?

There's a reason people use existing "technically incorrect" product names to refer to replacement products like this. It's so people who are used to consuming the original products see the replacement as a replacement, on level footing with the original.

Almost no one is going to replace dairy milk with soy bean-flavoured water, and chicken patties with chicken-flavoured burgers. The latter sound like dodgy knock-offs and people don't want to put that kind of thing in their bodies.

Also, "chicken-flavored burger" isn't really accurate to what this is. It may be lab-grown, but it's still meat. A "chicken-flavored burger" sounds like a vegetarian patty with chicken-like seasoning and flavours.
Is this only true for sports? My older brother has always acted as a kind of trailblazer for me (at school and in all aspects of life). I've been "drafting" behind him most of my life, so I wouldn't be surprised if I've had less stress overall and could therefore afford to take on even more one day..
Thank you for saying this. As a high-schooler from a lower middle-class family in Greece, I feel this pain every single day. It's therapeutic to see it is not as personal as it feels.

I know my generation has free access to almost all of human knowledge online, I know hard work and study can pull me out of this hell. I start every day hoping to do just that, but my accomplishments remain depressingly few regardless. Honestly, it's even getting worse over time, I was a far brighter and gifted kid once. I live in fear of how much smarter some of my peers are getting and I can't catch up.

It's like, every time I try to escape this mess, I fall back to a predetermined state of idleness. Most of the blame is on me; I was actually given some good opportunities to better myself by teachers who cared, I was a step away from scholarships at private schools and studying abroad etc. and I blew it all away. I never worked hard enough. Some of my failures may just boil down to luck.

Still, it is sad to think (with hindsight) how much different everything could've been, if my starting conditions were just a bit better. If I had been given a nudge in the right direction at challenging moments, instead of having to rely on self-study and self-help. If my parents had made me play an instrument, learn math earlier, read more books or make friends. God, it would've been so much better had I known somebody who had already done the things I wanted to do.

Breaking out of the loop is very, very hard without help. It is like the Münchhausen Trilemma. Anyway, I hope this comment is not inappropriate for HN, I just have nowhere else to vent. Sorry.
It's funny that his love of poop and butt jokes might be the most accurate part of the film.

A lot of people are shocked when they learn about Leck mich im Arsch, and would probably be bowled over if they knew just how many of his pieces either have it in their titles, or in their lyrics. History has rewritten a lot of his lyrics as a result.
If the city was built like those in deserts, with narrow walking paths between 2-3+ story buildings, with awnings over the walkway, it would be no problem.
Isn't this just "legislative theater" until there's a credible possibility the Senate will pass it?

That's true of sports in meat-space too.

Back to your striker... he can do all sorts of drills solo, but also needs practice time with his team. The former he can do at home (given a big enough yard). The later, he does at the clubhouse.

But, he isn't going around joining local pick-ups games. I'm still unclear why an e-sports player needs to the play the equiv of local pickup soccer matches. If the answer is "that's how he makes money" well, sandbagging a sport to earn money is a pretty silly way to make a living. That would be like Jordan paying his mortgage playing HORSE.
It's easy get into thinking that old historical figures were always dignified and proper and people today are foul and uncivilized.

Martin Luther is another example of the opposite. He constantly attacked and insulted his opponents. https://ergofabulous.org/luther/insult-list.php

The whole opening bars/restaurants/casinos but closing gyms is mind boggling.

I understand keeping the population subdued with circuses, but you'd think politicians would realize the gym is a positive outlet that will reduce coronavirus deaths by having a healthy population.

Maybe this would be better stated as "...since many of us are not arguing that...".
Yes, this is absolutely far worse than just letting the paper be published. AI ethics papers are not exactly the kind of material that gets a lot of conversation at the best of times, outside that world, but Google firing a black woman for speaking up is the kind of thing that definitely does get talked about (as we can see here).

But that aside, Google should want this kind of paper published. They absolutely should want to know and discuss every possible weakness in the ethics of their approach to AI - Google has a scale of influence so large that how they act in areas like AI, trickles down to many other organisations. To me, that gives them a responsibility to make it as ethical as is reasonably possible, and that will only happen if experts are allowed to speak freely.

One can make short-term arguments about how that hurts them, but the long-term damage of getting massive AI systems wrong, will be far, far worse.

You're not the target market. The target market is people who don't want to give up meat.
no.

A better first-order approximation to reality, is "Billionaires Exploit".

A second order approximation is that Billionaires exploit a) the political system by funding politicians indirectly so they will implement policies that enhance profits, b) poor employees by paying them a wage they cannot live on without government subsidies while keeping them in precarious arrangements to avoid union benefits and c) natural resources by avoiding costs which should be inherent [ eg. defer cost of redressing carbon pollution and recycling ].

Paul meets the best kind of proto-billionaire - innovators who aspire to _make_ something useful, or at least something that people want - and perhaps doesn't get to interview the appalling idle-rich dynasty billionaires who inherit obscene wealth, and cannot spend money faster than it grows.

We should not be congratulating Gates on investing money in Vaccines - we should have taxed him properly and used that money to fund vaccines/healthcare and climate initiatives. Then perhaps the 15 copies of windows 'tax' - which I paid for but never used because I installed linux - would be distributed democratically.

Look around.. what part of the world is not on fire ? Startups are not the solution to our current evils. I would suggest that we have abandoned the fair rules that governed our economy, and our democracies, weakening our systems and institutions - and this has put us in peril.

Covid is merely a kick-the-tyres test before the real game of climate change, and we have failed that test. The pandemic has exposed dire systemic weaknesses. If one 9/11 per day of aunties dying is not enough to wake us up, will the permanent melting of the ice caps even be noticed ?

Printing digital cash to prop up stock prices is a great way to get us through a pandemic induced economic shock, but we need to learn from this quickly, and rebuild our institutions - a free market works only if people can trust that the rules of the market are fair. We must rapidly align the engine of enterprise to our global survival : tax the uber-rich brutally, spend it wisely in the war on climate change.
> This could go badly for El Goog

What does this even mean? The power and resource disparity between Google and an individual researcher are so vast that this in no way can go bad for Google.

The idea that a few members on HN are disillusioned with Google is just another Tuesday for them. They literally do not care...no business of this size and magnitude do. The general public will never hear about this and if they do, they won't understand it, and if they do then they aren't the general public.
I think in some ways the problems people have experienced come back to a language design that is fairly ambitious.

Specifically the inclusion of a prototype OO system is confusing if you aren't aware what that is and have only been exposed to Java-like OO programming. But in fact it's very powerful and not so hard to learn once you realize you have to.

As with other web technologies, it's simple at first glance but the learning curve gets steeper at some point.
He's just saying "an early sign of someone unlikely to become a billionaire is their tendency to exploit others"

Whether existing billionaires exploit is a separate point.
This is rubbish. At Intel we called it "badge on the table". It's a statement of complete commitment (and I've been the beneficiary of someone going 'badge on the table' at least once, under circumstances I can't disclose).

It doesn't imply that if a manager or VP or CEO concedes the point at issue once, then the person can now go around "putting their badge on the table" and getting their own way over and over again on other issues; probably making a habit of issuing ultimatums (ultimata?) will get you fired PDQ.

This seems in fairly bad faith. As best I can tell, it suggests that the argument that billionaires exploit people is unfounded, because they delight _users_? I mean, sure, but that says _nothing_ about exploitation.

A company that exploits its users won't generally do well, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exploit its workers, which is generally what politicians mean here (see Amazon, for instance. Or, since Facebook was brought up in the article, their content moderation team)

Wait. What? --

> [T]he fantastic takeaway of McConnell’s study [was] that cells other than neurons could store information [...]. [...] Widely known as "the cannibalism experiment," the study [...] fed bits of trained flatworms to their untrained brethren. As a result, McConnell claimed, the untrained flatworms performed behaviors that the trained flatworms had previously learned. In short, the dead flatworms’ memories had found a new home.

Guess I need to track down some knowledgeable people and eat them raw.*

Looks like this is still controversial with iffy replication, but, if real, the effect seems to be based on RNA.

Oh, and McConnell was even targeted by the Unabomber, for whatever that's worth. (He survived.)

* Googling, I now see that everyone makes this joke.
its the same that happened in US films. they dont get made if they don't sell well to an international audience. why sell to 350m people when you can sell to 4b people?

its also who marvel/disney doesn't feature lgbt characters. chinese culture heavily shuns them, and they wouldnt sell... so they dont get made.

but most anime is being exported and sold with the same constraints. it has to sell in a ever-widening sphere to recoup money. and that means selling out and pandering to the (international) masses.

we're seeing a world level economy and brought kicking and screaming cause it destroys/drains money and creative talent from local areas to the lowest common denominator. we should be welcoming our differences and quirks but again money distorts the very cultures we live in and around
Good faith line of questioning. Promise.

1. Who do you think decides what rights an individual has in a society, and on what grounds do they hold that right?

same in Amsterdam. We call them 'juppen'.. they destroy the city.
luckily due to corona, a lot of them are moving back to their parents home.
> Being dogmatic about tests and covering every line will only make it more difficult to get rid of it.

This is only true if one is lackadaisical about how they architect their code and (unit) tests. You should be able to completely smash a function and it's tests without breaking any other tests ... If not then you're testing a different unit within those broken unittests.
Sure, but the original question was why is striking legal. Firing people for striking isn't the same as criminalizing it.

If you're responding to my statement of "can't legislate it away", then I suppose yes you're right that is an example of being able to do that and I should have worded that differently, but the key there is that it only works if your threat convinces the workers to return. Which, according to that Wikipedia article, it didn't entirely and their staffing levels didn't fully recover for a decade.

A fair compromise would be a scraper that runs as a browser extension, so as to not create extra load (for example, RECAP [1], which scrapes PACER and ships the viewed case PDFs off for archiving and indexing).

Shipping post, link, and comment data somewhere globally accessible using a browser extension while logged in sidesteps Reddit’s walled garden efforts without any load beyond that which they would’ve expended serving typical user requests. Maybe IPFS as a target?

Data Science and Machine Learning are buzzwords with little jobs behind them.

There's work to do around data (databases, logs, analytics, marketing, business intelligence, etc...) but none of it has to do with stats/maths. The realization is quite hurtful for those who wished to pursue data science.

The only field that recruits maths folks is finance, specifically quants, who are doing financial analysis all day. It's only a few roles in a few places and highly selective.
The assumptions this piece makes about what makes hardware trustworthy are simply not valid and would be dangerous to follow if you really have reason to care about this issue.

The ship sailed on trusting any hardware years ago.

See this excellent explanation:
https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=5706
It's more complicated than that (in particular, you need to deal with conservation of information, which is difficult even in a classical particle physics model, and I don't know of any mathematical formalisms that make the quantum case any better), but very approximately yes (in roughly the same sense that, if you cut up a piece of cheese into smaller and smaller pieces, you eventually end up with a single cheese atom).

For example, if a photon decays (spontaneous pair production) into a electron and a positron, those two particles will have some of their information content 'entangled', and that is roughly the same information that would be 'preserved' accross a electron (say, in a atom) emitting a photon to drop into a lower energy level. Because those are the same particle interaction, rotated into different reference frames. (In practice, I think you mostly end up with entanglements like Bit_γ xor Bit_e xor Bit_e̅ = 0, which is why a electron and positron (or matter and antimatter in general) can always annihilate to form a photon (respectively photons) in yet another rotation of said particle interaction.)

You're comparing the SIMD capabilities of the M1's CPU to its competitors, when modern hashcat has long been 100% OpenCL/CUDA and primarily run on GPUs.

As Apple still implements OpenCL even on the M1's GPU, it's possible to run on the GPU portion of the M1, and appears to do reasonably well. It outperforms the low end Quadro GPU in my laptop and appears to outperform at least 9th gen Intel iGPUs by 5-10x as well.

This is (mostly) awesome for quick/light glue scripting and a (almost entirely) a horrible pain for most other programming. As the scale of JS apps has gone up, this has gone from probably being a net win from the way JS was used early on on the web to being a net harm.

This existence of this distinction is, IMO, a very good thing, but there's some big ergonomic issues with the implementation. (The rest of your list I agree with.)
A Coding Challenge That Sucks Less
I'm not talking about deflecting the conversation or shutting down discussions, nor am I even taking a side here (personally I don't have enough information about this topic to have an opinion). I just don't agree with pretending like the relationship between employers and employees exists in an isolated cultural/economic bubble. There are many ways it can inform what actions we should take--at the very least it lets us know if this is a systemic problem or an isolated one, which alone could dramatically change what course of action to take.
I've also noticed more threads with a bunch of top level comments saying exactly the same thing-- eventually, it occurred to me that it's because users in the new interface can't easily see all the existing comments or search them to see if what they're about to post is already there. It was a jarring realization.
