If Nowak committed a crime, he should be tried - with rules of evidence, a jury of his peers and due process, and then punished according to the laws we enacted via our elected representatives. That is the appropriate venue for justice for crimes. Mob justice, shunning, harrassment via anonymous or pseduonymous reports on the Internet are not appropriate. Is that clearer now? You can relinquish your role as a self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner for people that someone told you did something bad. We have a whole system for dealing with that.

> The M1 competitor with similar thermals, close IPC per core, and on board GPU is widly rumored to be announced in Jan at CES.

Ok, so what you’re saying is that AMD is wildly rumored to have a processor that you might be able to find as an option on a niche (term not used in a negative sense) brand laptop in Summer 2021 that directly competes with Apple’s M1 processor available in Fall 2020 on their highest sold models which are their lowest price point machines?
I think we all crave to be engaged in something. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to not be able to sit in a plain room doing nothing. We have an innate desire to create, to solve problems, to interact with others. That doesn’t mean we don’t think and can’t be preoccupied or entertained by our thoughts. I think most of us just tend to be engaged in something mindless like showering, walking, or driving while we do our thinking.
Are you serious? You want to ask partners to write embedded C programs using a pre allocated virtual memory range?

It's obvious why they went for WASM instead.
I hear your point (2 young kids) and there’s plenty of things I’ve done that with, but this isn’t one of them. I have a Synology NAS and probably spend less than 5 mins a month on it.
I'd like to see a NAS case where you can simply embed the Pi 4 of your choice (not everyone need the 8GB version), include a PSU that provide power to the Pi and additional power for 3.5" HDDs and the fans, as well as keep the internal cabling as neat as possible, while offering all the Pi I/O available in the back (preferably make the video output two full-size HDMI.
Most NAS on the market are built around an ARM SBC with similar or better compute specs to the RPi and run Linux (often Debian). Honestly I think the Synology NAS even has a bigger and more helpful community for running these kinds of applications than the RPi does. There are also some more tinkerer-oriented NAS products such as the Kobol Helios machines that even offer GPIO - but also USB-C direct-attached storage and 2x gigabit (or better) ethernet interfaces, in the most recent model. When you consider the additional pain point of dealing with USB SATA controllers, I'm not convinced the RPi would ever be a good choice for a NAS or home server unless you were choosing it strictly for price reasons - NAS features like a good enclosure and drive management are unfortunately very steeply priced compared to the RPi, with commercial products often running $600 and up... although the Kobol products are very attractively priced, at the cost of very long fulfillment times since they run on preorders.
> If the non-exported cotton was a key ingredient in the industries that make up the other 95% of exports (and the non-export economy), the economy would be dependent on that industry.

Almost all US cotton production was exported, mostly to England. Also remember that at this time, the vast majority of the economy is self-sufficient farmers. My wife’s family wasn’t buying southern cotton out in Oregon. They were living off the land.

Circling back to the Jacobin article, most historians reject the idea that cotton production with slave labor was a big part of the American economy. The contrary claims come from a handful of scholars like Ed Baptist, and as shown in the link above he’s methodology is flawed and rests on double counting.

> Trying to tease counterfactuals out of history isn't really good academics.

You asserted above that immigration into the US and Silicon Valley, for example, can be said to have grown out of slavery because slavery is the source of America’s economic and industrial might. On one hand, the factual premise is false. Slavery was a small part of the economy before it was abolished. And the wealth that drew people to the country was mostly created after slavery was abolished.

Apart from that, you’re invoking a peculiar sort of causation. Someone comes to America as an immigrant and starts a company in 1970, and according to you that “grew out of slavery?” That’s a very “original sin” view of slavery, where the country is forever tainted by the fact slavery existed at one time, regardless of whether there are any traceable benefits to people living today resulting from slavery.

There is a metaphysical sense in which that is true but I don’t think most people would interpret “grew out of” that way. More important, thats not how the 1619 Project authors appear to view the causation either. That’s why they rely on this flawed article claiming that 50% of the US economy was from slavery. Their narrative depends on making slavery seem more economically significant than it was, and making people believe they derive tangible benefits from it today.

From what I've read so far, the structure of spike proteins seems to not have change, the virus just expresses many more spike proteins on its viral shell requiring more antibodies to neutralize and possibly allowing easier ACE2 docking.
I don’t think it’s mutually exclusive. They might be commoditizing a complement to get market share or find areas of vendor lock-in to raise prices later. I.e. they could be seeding commodity tools that their customers can plug in, while also generally lowering prices for a more pressing immediate land grab before raising prices later.
Everyone has spent a longer time than necessary thinking about something that is subjectively useless. Mocking someone for doing so demonstrates nothing more than a lack of self-awareness.
For more than 20 years I have advocated and pursued the idea that society should abolish work. I am astonished that in 2020 most of our production is not automated.

We have had the ability to automate most work for two decades.
Food, clothes, furniture, electronic devices, all of these could be produced with close to zero human labor. Why don't we?

After exploring a market (agriculture) in order to launch my own automation company, I have come to the conclusion that it is not the tech that we lack, it is the will. A culture change is needed in order to make people realize that a work-less society is:

- possible

- desirable

- is not going to make them poorer
Picnicking is doing something. Saunaing is doing something. Lying on the beach is doing something. They're all activities driven by desire, and the desire exists to distract you from inner contemplation.

When you're finally just thinking about yourself, your "desirable surroundings" will disappear. You'll be trapped in the discomfort of your mind. You'll then try to escape these thoughts by focusing on the picnic, sauna, beach.

Sitting in a room alone is just a metaphor for only thinking about your inner self. You can do that anywhere. And most people can't stand it, so they do something else. So, your conclusion is right, in that people would always prefer to do anything else other than focus on their inner thoughts. Like being in a place that distracts them.
> But this device wasn't built for use cases where power consumption doesn't matter.

This makes less difference than you'd think, because power consumption matters all over. If you use too much power you get high temperatures and have to clock down to avoid overheating.

The core designs for desktops and laptops are basically the same. The desktops use more power because it allows them to hold higher clock speeds -- the base clock of the 4800U (8C, 10W) is 1.8GHz, the base clock of the 3945WX (12C, 280W) is 4.0GHz.

This is also why desktops and laptops have about the same single thread performance. Running a single core at full speed is within the laptop power budget.
I've been using them for some random projects and they have been pretty decent for the price.

Thanks for the datapoints and level-headed reply, and apologies for the snark.

I didn't know about the Cornell study, although I am not at all surprised to hear that. How do you suggest representation imbalance in CS faculty gets somewhat closer to 50/50 without having some kind of bias towards hiring women, though? As someone of Asian descent, I totally understand where the lawsuits against Harvard/Yale were coming from, but at the same time I see no way to fix representation in undergrad/grad-school/faculty outside of some kind of "discriminative" hiring procedures (outside of fixing much broader and challenging systemic issues).
All taxes are parasitic on the prosperity of the subjects.

The least parasitic is taxing commerce.

Anything else is stupid, like taxing people or property where the parasitic effect grows to be unbearable even when rates remain constant.

You can't fix stupid but it can get elected to decision-making positions and leverage the foolishness.
Don't all of human achievements also come from this inability? The curiosity to find what's out there, and to explore the environment? I think this quote needs a lot of context to be useful - it makes sense to balance seeking stimulation with inward exploration. But to ban it outright is also flawed. Take time off to be with yourself, but don't renounce the world.
The M1 also has overclocked memory (by spec, DDR4 only supports 3200MHz), and the 5800X isn't a 700$ CPU, actually it's at 450$ (and it will fall even further soon, I bought a 3900x recently for below 400$).
At some point, we will have true network partitioning, where you connect with a different IP address to every domain. With IPv6 and a cooperative ISP / OS / Browser, this would be possible today. VPNs could also work work with browser makers to implement this as a fancy kind of NAT.
> That doesn’t mean we have to stop doing things. It does mean creating a new way of life based on play; in other words, a ludic conviviality

I can't help but feel like this is a very naive view of how the world and people works, almost child like.

Large organizations of people capable of mass producing useful products efficiently will always out-compete everyone else and push the "ludic" workers to the side because they involve 1) selecting who can and can't be part of the organization because the fun "things that need doing" will be in high demand and the others will need on the things that need doing that are as much if not more necessary and 2)it involves delaying and abstracting the direct reward of the work which is hard to put in play with any kind of reward system outside of money.

In rich countries, less than 1% of the population work on agriculture. We could have a society without starvation even if 99% of the population did not work.

The fact that starvation is possible in a rich country is by design. It is not a necessary fact of the economy.

I'm not convinced anyone is. Full objectivity is hindered by our minds ability to guess and rationalize.

Personally I find all attempts at self-knowledge are just a constant game of trying to sieve truth from rationalization, and I go back and forth on which is which constantly. Ultimately I cannot tell the difference within myself, and I cannot trust that anyone else can either.

As a manager of a team of application product developers I can tell you, the headcount cost of ops teams & the time cost of taking people whose job shouldn’t involve vm provisioning overhead but nonetheless does are both huge compared to cloud services. In cloud tooling, my team of people all with zero experience doing vm provisioning can get production systems up, add logging, add alerting, add networking, etc., all very easily or with just low touch overhead from teams that manage best practices or compliance. Creating the same internal developer tool experience with data centers is SO expensive and requires a major headcount investment.

This is much to sweeping a generalization to have a place here. You might say a man who is a homemaker is less attractive than a programmer to you, but don't speak for everybody else.
OP, please fix this! It looks like you've made a cool product; there's no need to be misleading about how much it costs. Just give the real "after-fees" percentage straight out.
You have all that DIY too, except maybe shock bills, but it's your problem to fix. Like with everything, extremes are bad and all managed or all unmanaged are both bad. My personal guideline is use off-the-shelf services if they are cheaper than DIY, including labor, or if DIY provides no competitive advantage and off-the-shelf is cheap enough. But if DIY is much cheaper or gives a competitive advantage, do it yourself.
Right, but sometimes it is. Strategic apathy is the dumb debate tactic of the moment and in that capacity I'd call it anti-intellectual.

It's hard to watch gel-haired youtubers going back and forth trying to out-apathy (and thereby out-cool) each other and come away with the idea that they are actually having an intellectual meta-debate about the allocation of time and attention. It seems far more likely that they saw someone win a debate by staying cool and projecting apathy, copied the behavior, and have spread it so far and wide that the tactic is now regularly played against itself with farcical results.

Your original claim is quite unrealistic and you'd do well to retract it. It's bad advice both for public cloud and for self-managed efforts alike.
Science itself involves climbing many wrong ladders to verify that they are indeed wrong. Some things you can't know beforehand.
Not everything needs that level of dedication, but also, how confident are you that said ladder is wrong unless you've climbed it yourself or have extensive, reliable reports from others who have done so?

The PS5 version has some crisp visuals and better frame-rate but it still has floating people, vehicles that forget about collision detection, crappy AI, cars that drive on rails, horrible pop-in effect, and gunfights where you can't take down some pissed off guy on the street without 50 direct headshots.

As for the story; I chose the corpo path and within 15 minutes of cutscenes and limited movement "gameplay" I'm on the street as some punk, never getting to experience anything close to what was marketed as the corpo path.

A few hours in I began to get lost in the world and enjoyed the advanced gameplay mechanics. They really went all-out with what you can do in the game, but then once the cinema-quality quest is finished I'm thrown back into the sloppy unfinished open-world.
There is some stimulation there, and you have a task to accomplish even if you don't go about it very steadily. I'm comfortable going for long walks outside alone with my thoughts, even if its far too cold. But the cold, or the sunlight, or the breeze is all stimulation. Being alone in a room for a period with no task to accomplish - or to not accomplish - without stimuli is definitely less comfortable.
