Preliminary genomic characterisation of an emergent SARS-CoV-2 lineage in the UK
Someone who earns 500K a year and who wants to be taxed more isn’t the problem. They are a principled social democrat. A thing that a country like the US could use more of.

People who look out for themselves and their family only and who wants to make public goods into a voluntarist thing through charities are the problem. They are of no use to anyone except their immediates and are only holding progress back.

Perhaps its not the forums, but that those with dogma to promote have finally realized how effective influencing forums can be.

Personally, I find "Question Everything" the only dogma worth howling along to.
Seems like an overhyped danger. Does anyone actually think that? You would have to not even know that the purpose of a language model is to model human language. But if that's the level of your understanding, why would you select a language model to use as a career guidance oracle? Such a negligent career advisor would be just as likely to use those children's posters with pictures of female nurses and male doctors.

I'd like to add that there's also a danger in people trying too hard to avoid bias and losing important information. For example, a man who's a homemaker instead of a programmer is a less attractive partner for a woman. So such an occupation might harm both his quality of life and that of his partner. There is some useful information encoded in cultural bias. Even if that information turns out to be entirely socially constructed, it still has real harmful effects on real humans who go against it.
The math doesn't work out: https://flurly.com/pricing. The real cost is 3.9% + $0.30 (which takes into account Stripe's fees). If you are a seller and price your item at $100, the platform charges $103.20 to the customer, gives $99 to you, takes $1.00, and gives $3.20 to Stripe.

The additional cost is covered by the customer, so they're not lying about only taking 1% from the seller... still a bit misleading, though.

I am a capitalist libertarian, with anarcho-capitalist sympathies, and I too support the long-term abolition of "work" as we know it.

Ending toil is, in principle, impossible with our current level of societal wealth. We will need major, non-trivial technological innovation in order to truly escape our toil (through capitalism, of course :). Teams of innovators will need to build out AI & robotic infrastructure (among other things) in order to make this happen.

I hope that humans will look back on us thousands (if not hundreds) of years into the future and look in horror at how hard we had to toil for our basic necessities.

The leftist desire to redistribute wealth (which I think is strongly misplaced and immoral) will become irrelevant once we achieve a certain level of abundance that is unlike anything we are accustomed to today. It will be like wanting to redistribute oxygen or dirt -- two resources so abundant they are essentially free.
Anecdotal, of course, but I currently have 42 tabs open in Firefox 84 (native M1 build) on an 8gb M1 Mac Mini, as well as two VS Code windows and a bunch of other things like Mail, Calendar, Authy, Bitwarden, etc. As far as memory management is concerned, user experience is indistinguishable from my 32gb Ryzen 3700X desktop with a Samsung NVMe.

Having a very Obi-Wan "that's a name I've not heard in a long time" moment. I can't remember ever settling on IceWM at any point - in my early forays into Linux I always just used Blackbox, before using KDE until it got weird, and then just settling on Xfce and Wxfm because my needs are simple. I'd be interested to hear what it excels at?
This argument sounds true, but I like to think of myself as being occasionally kind, or helpful, or benevolent.. whatever. And yet I just can't come up with a single example of something like that.

In fact I don't believe I even think of myself in categories such as "weak" or "strong". I know I'm extremely averse to conflict, which, I guess, would be considered "weak". I'll let you have your way (within reason), but then that's the last time you'll see me, which is probably not the outcome someone trying to exploit you is hoping for.
awesome thank you so much for updating. Unless I missed it in your post, who is your domain registrar for the low price?

As a native New Yorker I resemble that remark :-)

I will say the opposite can also be frustrating. People conflate niceness with kindness or even worse, morality. Being gruff isn’t intrinsically immoral. Being super “nice” isn’t intrinsically moral.

This might sound like some sort of rationalization for bad behavior, but I don’t think so. When you optimize you have to have at minimum a hierarchy of optimization goals. At some point, one goal WILL conflict with another. This means that conflating niceness with morality will inevitably lead to misguided and immoral/unethical behavior.
Bullying? You couldn’t find a more powerful word to describe the state taking away your goodies?

Making public goods into voluntarist things like charities isn’t benevolence. Robber barons have no problem giving a pittance to the poor, I’m sure, as long as that keeps them from being “bullied”.

I used it 20 years ago on SPARC Solaris as it was the easiest window manager to compile from the source and replace Solaris’ default CDE with it.
> Declaring that you have no choice is a result of the inability to confront the weakness to acknowledge the unpleasant decision.

Not everyone believes that these choices exist. The author offered the POV--although unstated--that the compulsions sufficient enough exist to either fully obfuscate or remove this choice, and you responded with the fact that this choice exists--not why or how this choice exists, just simply the assertion that it does.

Honestly everything about the M1 is so hyperbolic it does seem like it could replace super computers soon.

So, everybody knows a little laptop CPU and a desktop Ryzen are not the same class but it's still useful to compare.

I have a new laptop with the Ryzen 4800H, I would surely like a direct comparison with the M1.
You did specify current rocket tech. The technologies you're talking about have not been tested or used commercially or by any space agency as far as I'm aware.
I do work for a SolarWinds Customer. SolarWinds told us on Thursday that the certificate was going to be revoked on the 21st. Then yesterday they told us the certificate wasn't being revoked until February 2021.

This says to me that the certificate itself probably wasn't compromised. The attacker must have found a place in the CI pipeline where they could insert code and get it signed automatically.
The issue is this. Apple asked intel to make the chip for the iphone. If you partner with apple on this, then, together, and with billions of dollars, your entire ecosystem improves even if you were not originaly the best.

When you do this type of deal, you get to work with top class engineers and real major customer driving your power / efficiency story.Intel at the time had the process node advantage as well.

What's happened is Apple has SIGNIFICANTLY funded massive capital investment in the ARM ecosystem and in non-intel fab because now those non-intel providers are critical. Imagine all that money flowing to intel just on fab side.

Rumors around TSMC and Apple for iphones is that Apple funds some of the capacity at TSMC and pays for leading nodes. I'm not sure of the scale of Apple's orders, but they are going to be meaningful both in quantity and what apple is willing to pay.
I watched 2 episodes of it and thought the acting was terrible. It reminded me a lot of Battlestar Galactica. That being said, I have several friends that rant and rave about it and keep telling me to try it again.
You are whitewashing history.

Google was inferior to AltaVista for quite some time.

According to Wikipedia: "In 2000, AltaVista was used by 17.7% of Internet users while Google was only used by 7% of Internet users, according to Media Metrix."

So, two years after official founding, Google was still not ahead to AltaVista.

AltaVista even had a "visual clustering" thing that used Java (which would work great now with Javascript) that would allow you to refine your searches. I still cry that we don't have the equivalent of that 25 years later.

Then AltaVista got caught in the great DEC "hostile giveaway". Which left Google sitting in the right place with nobody to really compete against them.

One problem was that AltaVista was early--it basically predated common people using the web--and so it wasn't quite so clear how you monetized it. DEC effectively ran it as a goodwill "free service" to the internet. Even in 1999, on-line commerce wasn't very big. Remember, the big AOL/Time-Warner merger was in 2000.

The one thing that Google got right was timing. Google was in the right place when everybody switched from services like AOL to basically just accessing the web directly. And this let them put ads in the search which could be used for monetization.
> how cool the DEC Hardware and Digital Unix was compared to the Sun Sparc and Solaris stuff I had to work on afterwards.

I'd love to hear more about this, if you are willing to elaborate.
All of them (there is also plenty of containerized freight on ships).

With the very porous border, there is little lost time through checks -- it was easy to send the driver all the way from Germany to Manchester. I think from leaving the French motorway to driving onto the British one takes about an hour by lorry-on-train.

By ferry, it's little different than going from Germany to Denmark by ferry. They will glance at the passport as well as the ticket.

The title is incorrect, though: it's just one 'land' of the Universal Studios Japan park, which is (I think before including the new area) roughly the same acreage of the Disneyland park in California.
Ah ok I think I remember that and I wasn’t sure it that was linked to the LB service or the VMs. Perhaps/likely it’s either/both. In any case, wow 10TB is awesome. I think Google Cloud’s Free Tier transfer limit is 1G, which is one of the reasons I powered it down (the other being they started charging for external IP’s on the free tier compute instances).
My wife is one of these trainees left out by this "algorithm." She's an intensive care fellow and was caught up in this mess yesterday. It's really hard to witness considering how much I worry about her everyday she's on service.

My understanding is the training is capped at 80 hours/week, but they average that over the month. They definitely work more than that some weeks, but it's usually because it's not scheduled hours; it's shifts that run long because of emergencies or codes or whatever. When she was a resident and had to write patient notes, that definitely took extra hours each night after her shifts. It's brutal.

And for what it's worth, not all doctors make great money after training. In pediatrics, salaries are generally half what adult doctors make. For a lot of subspecialties, that's on par with average software engineering salaries, even after about 14 years of education and training.

That's certainly not true in general (at least, if you want your compiler to provably halt) and it's really easy to point at counterexamples... for instance, Coq is capable of fully representing Peano arithmetic, and is dependently typed, so it follows that synthesizing its proof terms can require supplying proofs of arbitrary statements in PA, which is undecidable. But typechecking Coq proof terms is very much decidable, or at least if it isn't it's not because it includes PA.

That being said, even if your standard for synthesis is "works in practice" rather than some halting-related criterion, it's still really easy to find type systems that don't qualify. There are also sometimes practical concerns around separate compilation--if you're relying on introspection and not just interfaces for typechecking, and someone just tells you what interface will be satisfied at runtime, you won't be able to repeat this kind of analysis; the same sorts of problems occur when you perform reflection.

A question I was going to ask as well.

I love both Erlend's take and your response. You both had the opportunity to be small-minded and snippish about this, and you both took the high road and approached things from a collaborative and supportive point of view. Thank you for the demonstration of what open source is supposed to be about, and I'm not talking about the (spiritual?) fork here.

As someone who watches the show and read the comics, I agree with that wholeheartedly but it doesn't detract from my enjoyment of the show. I just have to treat them as 2 separate things. Much like Walking Dead where the comic is awesome to me but I thought the show is terrible. The Boys is a good comic and a good show but only if you don't attempt to resolve the two as being related.
You can not possibly make that claim with any degree of certainty. The difference between going to Mars and going to even the nearest star with a manned spacecraft is roughly equivalent to the difference between 'science' and 'science fiction'.
Its funny how quickly people forget the purpose of competition. You can't arbitrarily raise prices just because you know they have more money, you have to have demand in the face of supply shortages. So housing might increase, but probably not the cost of USB cords.

Yes, I would say that we are probably in violent agreement. :)
This is like developer saying "it works on my PC" ... except if you're shipping a half finished game to millions of preorder customers you can see how this could lead to situation that it's now. I'm still interested in this game but I'll probably wait for it to go on sale and for them to iron out the bugs.
Yes, but (conservative) tracing GC doesn't require invasively updating the contents of all your data structures, in exchange for not actually capturing all pointer relationships. In C, it's often not really possible or even safe to do that, so I don't see how such a method could work automatically except in very restricted settings.
Also they have Oracle Linux 8 as an OS option for free tier, so you’re covered if you prefer the EL ecosystem (eg given the current CentOS situation).
The fact that we're even talking about the credibility of the NYT already places it on a higher epistemological plane than the mainstream media (TV news, social media, etc).
Since the value of Bitcoin has no connection to any real-world economy, and is entirely determined by whatever someone is willing to pay right now, there's no way to know what it will be in the future.
That’s a very weak argument. The “numbers went up” from single digits to 34, from a single outbreak that is actively being traced.
Nice job. A suggestion: support alternative payment processors besides Stripe.

I paid with cryptocurrency for the first time today when I realized my webhost accepted it in lieu of cash and that it had the lowest fees among all payment options. For example, right now my webhost's calculator says that for a $10 deposit there's a 20 cent fee for a net deposit of $9.80 if I use "Bitcoin". (I actually have no Bitcoin and managed to pay anyway, because my webhost is using BitPay as a processor, which seems not to limit you to Bitcoin only.)

A product on Flurly right now using Stripe at the same price looks like it would be $10 - (2.9% + $0.30) - 1% for a net of $9.31 after net $0.69 fees. Considering the example on Flurly's homepage is $1, for this and the $10 example I gave and for other small payments, it's obviously a better deal for sellers if buyers avoid using Stripe. And it turned out to be easier to log in to Coinbase and pay with some giveaway coins I'd received than it would have been to pull out my credit card and fill in the info.

I can't agree with the title's assertion, with all due respect. Please no!

Your job as leader is to know who the smartest person in the room is - re this particular decision; and point to them so they can make it. Usually (except if you have two subordinates) that won't be you. The higher you climb, the less likely it's you.

Almost every failed leader thinks they have to be the smartest person in the room (often every time, on every issue.) Or pretend to be. This leads to catastrophe, it's just a matter of time, 'cause it's a lie. Humility beats that by letting the best mind for that problem arrive at the answer.

That said, there are a few times when it's you and you have to overrule everyone else. Wang (of Wang word processors, way back) said he only made two decisions during his whole stay as owner of Wang Laboratories. Every other decision was made by the board with his vote being just one vote, but he over-ruled them all twice, and was right both (critical) times. Each time every other board member opposed his decision. He did it anyway. So yes, every now and then the smartest person in the room IS you, the leader or owner/leader, but it's rare. 'Cause that's NOT your job, being the smartest person in the room. Your job is to know who is.
Same, definitely have come off as an asshole saying "no" before. Saying "no" is an art, indeed, easier when you know where that line is.
It is a fun surprise for people. The easiest one you can do is a pointed rock on top of the duck, and then a "signpost" rock at the shadow tip. If you're hiking trails in northern California and see a stack of rocks, and off to the side where the shadow is you see another rock that is distinctly different (in shade or composition) sitting in the arc that the shadow traces, that could very well be one of my "date ducks."
Defaulting to generosity - while operating with healthy boundaries - is by far the most beneficial mindset.

The alternatives are:

Victim. "I am too weak and poor to help anyone but I expect people to help me." This belief corrodes you.

Stoic(can't think of a better word.) "I don't help anyone and therefore I don't expect anyone to help me". Well, better than the victim but ends up passing up many opportunities where others are genuinely ready to help.

Abuser "I don't bother to help others but I take advantage of them" - becomes obvious very quickly and you are ostracized and hated.

Doormat "I help everyone but because I don't have healthy boundaries, I end up attracting abusers and victims." Gross.

The "best people" are clear and confident with their boundaries and generous with their time and resources when people are on the right side of the boundary. I see this a lot with truly successful senior managers and businesspeople, for example.

Even in politics, when a candidate runs for office, they want to tell stories of "X came to me and needed help and I really took the time to hear them and help them (kindness). Then Y came and they sought to rip us off and I told them to go fuck themselves (boundaries)." We seek that as species, we expect that out of the best among us, and therefore we reward those who operate from this place (and it's good for lots of other reasons.)
