This tool seems a bit nonsensical for anything that isn't as blatantly politically one-sided and polarized as Ayn Rand.

Just a random couple of highly appreciated titles from my collection:

Hyperion, Gormenghast, Lolita

(Sci-fi, British gothic fantasy, 20th century American literature)

And it suggests The Farside (well yeah, if you want something completely on the opposite side of well-written prose), Tintin, and Shakespeare (huh?).

As for breaking any bubble I might live in: I grew up reading Tintin.

Interestingly enough it throws up Preacher as well, a comic written by Garth Ennis. Again not really breaking any bubble there: I love his works and have read Preacher, The Boys, Battlefields, and all his Punisher stories (that man is the only comic writer who truly groks Frank Castle).

"When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain." - Napolean Bonaparte

"I sincerely believe with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; & that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale" - Thomas Jefferson

"I have two great enemies, the southern army in front of me and the financial institutions in the rear. Of the two, the one in the rear is the greatest enemy" - Abraham Lincoln

It seems like no matter what books I key off of, the results appear to be pretty nuanced and not even necessarily absolutely opposing. This is really cool.

I think part of the problem with just swinging to the absolute other end is, unless you're just interested in psychology, reading the "other side" is only of real value if you're reading quality, or at least good arguments made in good faith.

At the extremes there seems to be a much higher tendency for the authors themselves to be deep in the echo chambers of their respective ideologies, as well as a higher likelyhood that its target audience is more forgiving of poor content as long as it hits close enough to the mark. Blindly selecting content by a strict point of view would seem to result in lower value overall.

Not to say there isn't good reading out there in the extremes, but the level of chaff to sort through to find a decent seed is just too damn high.

The value is ultimately in finding good content and not just an opposing point of view. Whenever I can find both at the same time, those are the real keepers.

I wonder how many use cases will be impacted. I can imagine specific use cases like video encoding switching to the built-in co-processors. Which part of usage remains that is hampered by this? Is there a killer reason/use case I should stick to amd? Also, it would probably be relatively trivial to add the 256bit instructions in the next iteration of the chip.

China could spend them, yes. Or they could float the currency and allow places to purchase goods in their currency. Or they could allow people in the mainland to hold their own reserves of dollars and not set a fixed dollar buyback peg. The trade deficit between private corporations between the US and China doesn't need to have any bearing on the Party's dollar holdings. Saudi Arabia doesn't hold many treasuries and they receive a whole lot of dollars.
I'm not quite sure that SIMD is a relevant benchmark for comparing the processors. Wouldn't the GPU and/or neural engine take care of SIMD on the ARM Macbook?
For many linear algebra heavy workflows, (numpy, R, Julia, etc.) I expect that AMD and especially Intel processors with AVX-512 will crush the M1 on real-world benchmarks. But this isn’t a reflection of RISC vs CISC, and Apple could choose to add hardware acceleration for wider instructions and hopefully will in the future.
I don't think crypto will ever be used on daily spending, but could be better for 'contractual spending'. It won't ever be used for buying a coke, or anything like that (not saying it won't, just not it's actual purpose'. Things like employment, insurance, reccuring subscriptions, etc. It can A.) sometimes insure anonymity when wanted, complete visibility of reccuring spend and contract in place but employment is going to be the big transition is causes. Imagine upwork, but decentralized and written in airtight contracts to ensure performance.

But tbh your whole second blurb goes over my head.

> I rarely stumble upon such well-written articles, it was a joy to read.

What? It's your run of the mill article you find in any publication. What about it struck you as being so special that you just had to sing its praises?

> I didn't know the author before but after a bit of research… well, I'd expect nothing less from someone who has been awarded the Knight Science Journalism Fellowship at MIT.

What? Is this a real comment? Your comment reads like a mother thinking her child is the next picasso after seeing her child's first drawing. Feels like you are advertising/evangelizing for the author. Are you sure you don't know the author?
> To compete, you really do have to cut minimum wage

The article points out other ways to reduce the cost of domestic labor: namely, shifting away from high payroll taxes and severing the link between health insurance and employment.

Here's some wisdom:

Here's what to look for when finding a wife. I call it the "trifecta":

- Easy on the eyes

- Intelligent

- But most importantly, if you want to have any chance, she needs to have poor judgement when it comes to men. :-)

It's a joke that I tell the groom during my best-man speeches. In truth, you wants someone who is kind and intelligent (and yes, has poor judgement when it comes to men).

I've been with the same woman for 33 years and we still haven't had our first argument yet. I will admit that I've thought about instigating an argument just so we could have that "make-up-sex" that everyone talks about.
Strict Chinese capital controls are going to hobble CNY's utility for quite a while.

Having a bunch of CNY is kind of useless if you can't freely exchange it with the country in question, and the one benefit above all else is that the US hasn't had any sort of strong capital controls in modern history that might result in a dollar crunch.

(It may also be a colossal economic collapse when China lets the floodgates open, since inflated Chinese property values being the majority of domestic household investment are a symptom of the capital controls, and the ensuing rush may cause both a collapse in those values and asset inflation elsewhere.)
You use the native cloud facilities available by spinning up a new instance per deploy. Whether you need a simple shared thread (smallest instances available) or you want to tackle the 368 thread monsters available on something like GCloud both are fine.

It's worth pointing out that if you run containers on public cloud you are inherently virtualized already - this actually removes layers instead of adding layers on.
Guilty as charged — I have never used GDB for anything but that, and I have never used awk for any other function than to select columns.
Jpegs (libjpegturbo), video decode/encode (libavcodec), encryption/decryption, ZFS filesystem, any workload that does high throughput. SIMD is the next generation of computing, without it we would have very very slow computers. Technologies like HEVC don't work well without SIMD, they're designed around it. Take a look into ffmpeg and see the tremendous amount of hand written simd assembly for various platforms.
Approving vaccines faster does save lives going forward. That is the whole point.

So an important note about that filing is that it's from iFinex and it's their opinion, it has not been established as a fact :)

It may be that once they actually get to court with the NYAG they can prove this opinion to be true, however as far as I'm aware no independent auditor has confirmed the status of Tether's reserves.
This article is very US-centric and self congratulatory.

The vaccine is called BNT162b2, because it was fundamentally developed at Biontech.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tozinameran

>Tozinameran[1] (INN), codenamed BNT162b2 and more commonly known as the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, is a COVID-19 vaccine developed by BioNTech and manufactured and distributed by Pfizer

https://www.thelocal.de/20201110/biontech-four-things-to-kno...

>While global headlines tend to lead with Pfizer's involvement, Şahin insisted to Spiegel: "It is our technology."

It bothers me how Americanized the Western media has become. If Biontech was a US company and Pfizer was European, exactly 0 US media would call it the „Pfizer vaccine“. Yet most European media outlets have adopted the US-spin and now call it „Pfizer Vaccine“ (or „Pfizer-Biontech“ at most).

> In a series of interviews over more than seven months, senior Pfizer executives and other managers shed new light on how the vaccine project took shape.

Reading the article, it doesn’t look like the spoke to anyone at Biontech.

> BioNTech simply plugged the genetic code for the spike protein into its software. On Jan. 25, BioNTech Chief Executive Ugur Sahin designed 10 candidates himself.

Ah yes, the Germans simply plugged it into their software. Disregard over a decade of fundamental research done by hundreds of scientists with hundreds of millions of Euros in funding. Now let‘s focus on all the hard work American pharmaceutical Managers did.

>To assemble its mRNA production network, Pfizer used its own money and didn’t take any from the federal government. Executives said they didn’t want to give agencies outside the FDA more leverage over the design of the trials.

Yes, but:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tozinameran

>In September 2020, the German government granted BioNTech 375 million euros ($445 million) for its COVID-19 vaccine development program at a time when Pfizer funded its portion of development costs without government funding.[20] BioNTech had also received 100 million euros ($119 million) in financing from the European Commission and European Investment Bank in mid-2020.[21]
Also: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-11-09/pfizer-va...

And speaking of „Operation Warp Speed“: Coincidentally, „Light Speed“, the name Biontech gave its vaccine development effort, started in mid January. A time when almost nobody had even heard of the virus. Operation Warp Speed wasn‘t announced until April 29, three and a half months later.

You can use major plot details from other books, the issue is how many and how sequentially arranged they can be. This author is dealing with several people who sat down and sequntially copied 35-45 plot twists/details on a page by page basis.

If you take 45 sequential, critical, unique lines of code or equations from a patented, copyrighted project, you could be in a lot of trouble. I think it is okay to take less than 14 sequential, unique plot elements but I'm not sure about how this would apply to lines of code made up of proprietary equations.

They haven't produced the information that would allow NYAG to establish the state of their balance sheet, and they appear to be fighting pretty hard to avoid producing that evidence.

NYAG can't, at the moment, do anything as the case has not yet reached court.

Most of the discussions in the case I've seen so far resolve around iFinex trying to insist the NYAG does not have jurisdiction over them, and so they don't have to provide any information about their finances. Whilst they don't appear to be winning that argument e.g. https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docInde...

they haven't (as far as I'm aware) actually produced the information about their finances so far.

A classic case of blackmail – I know you have committed a crime. I threaten to report your crime to the police unless you pay me.

The act being threatened – reporting your crime to the police – is totally legal, even socially encouraged. It is only the demanding of money (or other benefits) not to do it part which is the crime of blackmail.

If I just went ahead and reported your crime to the police – no crime of blackmail.

If I just didn't – no blackmail (but could be some other crime, such as misprision)

It's only when I tell you that whether I'm going to do it depends on whether you do something for me that blackmail has been committed.

To get a student visa for Germany, you need to prove that you have at least 10k euros to cover your living expenses for one year: https://www.study-in-germany.de/en/plan-your-studies/require...

If you can find a job that pays significantly more than minimum wage, that's not going to be much of an issue, but otherwise you might have to control your spending very carefully.
This is a great post showing why you have to measure the specific tasks you care about rather than relying on general assumptions. Another example I remember seeing was crypto/hashing performance where you could find embedded processors competing with much faster general chips because they had dedicated instructions for those use-cases, and performance would fall off of a cliff if you used different encryption or hashing settings or an unoptimized libssl.

I’d be curious how the unified memory architecture shifts the cost dynamic for GPU acceleration. There’s a fair amount of SIMD work where the cost of copying to/from the GPU is greater than the savings until you get over a particular amount of data and that threshold should be different on systems like the M1.
But then again, if your workflow is linear algebra heavy, shouldn't you be doing that on a workstation or a cluster and not your little MacBook? Given you are probably doing that over Jupyter notebooks, SSH, or some cloud IDE, then the new ARM MacBooks will provide a better user experience?

We started it this month and are at $150/mo, not a bad start and we appreciate the help. We're trying it as a way to bridge us to the next step.

I love Beaker but I think it was strategically too long-term. The hyp CLI and uplink are us turning our focus to better immediate utility for people, which we think is the right near-term strategy to breaking out of the niche.
Your post is technically true and not at all relevant. You've gotta think about the context and not just post technically correct contrarian stuff.

There's no excuse for bad testing demographics. If only whites are tested then we'd only find out in the wild if it works on non-whites or has adverse effects on non-whites, which is obviously hideous.

We'd also flat out reject a vaccine that only works on non-whites because we'd never know it.

It's fine to say that a vaccine that only works on some known part of the population is a good thing. It's better than no vaccine. But we have to know who it works on. That's what testing does, and that's what's being discussed.

Isn't a community college a real professional education?

As the ARM chips proliferate we will see NEON or GPU/neural engine APIs adopted in lieu of the SIMD from the x86 side. Until Now ARM just wasn’t relevant with the ubiquity of x86 and that the x86 family of chips have been the desktop standard since the 80s of course there will be hardware that takes advantage of this.

I wonder what final cut and other software suites tailored for the new Macs are doing under the covers as they seem to perform very quickly. Also this isn’t really all the relevant as cryptographic validation is required more and more on the server side of things whereas Apple doesn’t have a SKU for the server market.
I never said that or really proposed a solution, simply stated a problem as i saw it - Which makes sense why i got downvoted. I don't really know the answer with minimum wage but i tend to lean more 'darwinistic' in my philisophies. I wish there was more inherent economic incentive, where everyones salary was more closely tied to their contribution and efforts but I guess thats too much to ask for in this world where non performers and non-productive members of society are given this 'unalienable right' to live off the products of society just for being human.
Entropy is a subjective value, in that it depends on the observer's statistical model. Quite weak passwords can look high-entropy to a system like this, e.g. it's not going to know that "Make America Great Again" is a common phrase, or that the user is a security-illiterate Trumpist and therefore likely to use such a passphrase.

If you're generating passwords for users from these statistical models, and forcing them to use the first paraphrase you give them, talking about "raw entropy" would make more sense. It's still subjective, in that someone who knows the full machine state at generation time would probably see a different entropy, but at least that information is relatively hard to access.
