Not defending the US healthcare system, but I’ve never heard of an insurance plan without an out of pocket maximum. For example, my plan has a 2k maximum for individuals and 4K for married couples. Combined with a health savings account (allowed to be funded pre-tax from both the employer and employee), I’ve generally put $1-2k a year in that during my 20s when I rarely needed medical expenses. I still haven’t had a year where I’ve spent more than I’ve saved to the point I could cover multiple years of out of pocket maximums just from that account.

And since it’s a “savings account” I can invest the tax-free savings into the stock market with index funds. I’ve actually had a decent amount of growth in that account just from stock market gains.
People placed a lot more 'art' into their speech than people nowadays. You hear it in the old English of England as well with the particularity of enunciation. Speech was the main interface of communication compared to today's more logocentric and multimedia audio visual world. In our age we appear to place that art into crafting text messages (nuances of capitalisation, punctuation, abbreviations, emojis etc.).
The US military did not win the war, at least in Europe. They pottered around in Africa, Italy, and Belgium while the Soviet army won the war. Ten of the ten biggest battles were on the eastern front, while a tiny fraction of axis assets held off the West for years. Western bombing (despite huge losses) had negligible effect on German industrial production, which increased right up to 1945. (US industrial imports to Russia through Iran were important, though.)

The US did win the Pacific war, despite that its torpedoes were wholly almost wholly non-functional until 1944. It won at monstrous cost in wasted Marine Corps lives, apparently because blockade work was not dramatic for home audiences.
So it's a toy model...

> I think the crux here is that decriminalising/legalising the use of drugs such as heroin would not make them more widespread and ubiquitous.

That is a very ridiculously wrong statement.

> Despite being illegal they are still so very easy to access in almost all countries

You apparently have a pretty wide definition of "Very easy". I wouldn't have the faintest clue how to lay my hands on some heroin. Yes, I might start asking around in the vicinity of nightclubs based on hearsay that party drugs are supposedly sold there and the dealers might know someone who sells heroin. That would require navigating some scary situations quite outside my comfort zone. That's a completely different level of availability than alcohol, of which there are shelves full in every supermarket and ads plastered all over telling me how it will make me hip and attractive.

> Legalising them would bring users/abusers into a more public sphere where it is far easier to access harm reduction and the state can provide it without legal complications

You don't need legalization for that, merely decriminalization of use and possession.
I’d be very interested to see a report on how that’s going

They introduced the Mietendeckel law last year, which solidified the two tier system for renters. If you had a good rent contract in a central location, you were sitting pretty and could probably count on a decrease in rent. If you had done the responsible thing and rented in a further away location, no such luck. If you are looking for an apartment now, supply has been dramatically reduced. Great for the haves, not so much for the have nots.
All slippery slopes start from a pinnacle of reasonableness.

The "attacker" is so bad at consistently preventing consensus generation that I find it extremely hard to believe it is an attack at all, thus it isn't related to this market bust.

Apple Silicon Macs use per-file encryption tied to the credentials: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/security/secf6276da8a/...

Was carried over from iOS.

A way to bypass it _should_ be possible, but will entail having the System volume of the volume group to have different properties than the Data part.

Otherwise the OS will fail to load. (on Apple Silicon Macs, macOS is fully booted already when you input the password, so if you encrypt macOS...)

On older Macs, a Preboot UEFI application application prompts you for the password prior to booting.

What you can do as a workaround:

Create a second account which you'll only use to unlock the drive and then run sudo fdesetup add -usertoadd unlockUser and then sudo fdesetup remove -user PrimaryUser.
That'll give the rights to unlock the drive only to that unlock user.

You can also use sudo fdesetup removerecovery -personal to destroy the ability of the recovery key to unlock the drive.

I think there's just one lesson, a no-brainer, to be learned here: That any halfway competent author can make his character appear superior in whatever way he chooses, because he obviously and literally has complete control of the narrative.

Implying that the rational character of Sherlock Holmes is morally challenged when compared with a character acting predominantly on his gut feelings is, I think, a contemptible insult to rationality and those people who choose to act rationally. A decent argument can be crafted that rational behavior is moral behavior more often than not, but I doubt that Mr. Foster, as a fan of religious apologist (i.e. "Liar for Jesus") Chesterton, could be brought to understand it.

Because it's just software. You can just change it and it costs nothing.

Honda's HondaLink panels in their Civics since 2013/14 can occasionally have poor or no responsiveness or display. The UI is also poorly designed enough that accomplishing anything with it is a distraction (eg- does not separate parked and in-motion UIs, allows navigating 4 menus deep for a feature before throwing up a verbose text warning about why interacting with an option the 5th deep menu would be dangerous). Honda's credibility and market didn't receive any scrutiny for it.

Maybe touchpanels for any major control systems without tactile backups is a stupid idea?
That is a false dichotomy. Morality is a matter of reason and every human action is a matter of morality. The decision to reason correctly and submit to reason, as opposed to engaging in sophistry or frustrating and subverting reason to smuggle in immoral action, is a moral decision.

First, I quoted someone upthread who set the term. Second, in contemporary English, the word assault is used figuratively in the meaning of "attack" including "verbal attack".

My comment is kind of glib but I recall hearing about a study in Canada decades ago that looked at this.

What they found was that smokers, on average, died early so they collected a decade or two less in pension payments. They paid tens of thousands in tobacco taxes. And when they did die, it was relatively quick and not that expensive to treat (chemotherapy). Overall, smokers were a net benefit to society.

That equation might have changed today with expensive lung cancer drugs and longer life.
I don't have a functional background so I can only empathize that only being allowed to pipe first is not what folks are used to. I am having trouble understanding your argument, however, that includes both "consistent" and "choose your own adventure". I also don't buy that, other than simply being used to it, that piping last to sequences is more "natural". "reduce a into b with c" or "reduce value a into value b using function c" reads perfectly natural to me. I'm happy to hear arguments otherwise.
> But you still lose something, e.g. if you use half precision on V100 you get virtually double speed, if you do on a 1080 / 2080 you get... nothing because it's not supported.

That's not true. FP16 is supported and can be fast on 2080, although some frameworks fail to see the speed-up. I filed a bug report about this a year ago: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/17665

This. We should call this "fake speech". American absurdism is rooted in fake speech with the intent to cheat and steal. It's perfectly permisible for politicians, businesses, and even individuals to say whatever they need to say to get what is not rightfully theirs. And they all get away with it, because the law hasn't caught up with fake speech yet.

Why did this happen? Because they intended to. But the law only punishes what they did, and provides loopholes for not ever admitting intent, so long as they lie about it. That lie is the true crime. That lie is profitable.

Irnonically, in modern America, it takes a fake news show to be honest about the news, and a comedian to be honest about modern culture. That's also absurd. Hilarious, but absurd.

Yes, the key idea is to show skin in the game. Check out some usecases in https://repowcha.com/use_cases. It's nothing fancy, just simple tech that might work better.

Ordinary CAPTCHA tries to tell humans and bots apart, to stop bots from abusing a service. rePOWCHA does something different: it tries to tell if humans have good intentions using the oldest trick in the book. It asks the user to deposit some crypto as collateral. Honest users who don't abuse the service get their deposit refunded, and spammers don't.

Another difference is that it's not rePOWCHA who decides who gets back their deposit. It's the customer (you) who decides. Think of rePOWCHA as giving control back to humans instead of hoarding it for the bots. It's also free and you make money from the fees.

The big problem I see with CAPTCHA is that verifying if someone is human isn't enough to guarantee they won't abuse your service, like what happened with repl.it a couple of months back (https://replit.canny.io/feedback/p/add-captcha-to-new-post). The key insight is to make spam expensive enough that it's unprofitable, instead of merely less likely.

I want a similar way to stop spam for email. Crypto works better than a credit card for this since you can find the sender's address in the blockchain to refund their money, and also to reward them for sending good emails.

And then there's the world of online forums. Don't like getting downvoted on HN? Threads getting out of hand? Built a new online forum that requires paying to post, reply, and vote.

You can pay customer support for responding well or responding fast.

You can send rePOWCHA links to friends to pay you back lunch money.

Proof-of-work for the web is inevitable. This is a new mechanism.

Why do you think you can only write multi-megabyte apps with react? And why do you think those two are the only options? You can write decently sized react code that's 300-500 kb bundled and if you're not ok with that you can start dynamically loading dependecies. Companies just choose to not spend any time optimizing it.

>Because you got a match against them? Because you have friends in their group? Or peers? In the game I played, the top players knew each other.

So it's avoidable. Just use another server which maybe you, or a neutral party controls. Doesn't matter if they know eachother. Having a match against them is not a factor, if you play vs. them you don't need to be in voice chat with your enemy to begin with, but maybe you have an example of a game where this is common.

>Actually, you got a good idea who does the DDoS; "supporters" (hooligans) of group X, who got your IP from admin of voice chat server of group X.

Then don't join group X. It's simple really. Or you gather evidence, seems simple enough if you just write timestamps.

When developing ML models, you rarely train "just one".

The article mentions that they explored a not-so-large hyper-parameter space (i.e. they trained multiple models with different parameters each).

It would be interesting to know how long does the whole process takes on the M1 vs the V100.

For the small models covered in the article, I'd guess that the V100 can train them all concurrently using MPS (multi-process service: multiple processes can concurrently use the GPU).

In particular it would be interesting to know, whether the V100 trains all models in the same time that it trains one, and whether the M1 does the same, or whether the M1 takes N times more time to train N models.

This could paint a completely different picture, particularly for the user perspective. When I go for lunch, coffee, or home, I usually spawn jobs training a large number of models, such that when I get back, all these models are trained.

I only start training a small number of models at the latter phases of development, when I have already explored a large part of the model space.

---

To make the analogy, what this article is doing is something similar to benchmarking a 64 core CPU against a 1 core CPU using a single threaded benchmark. The 64 core CPU happens to be slightly beefier and faster than the 1 core CPU, but it is more expensive and consumes more power because... it has 64x more cores. So to put things in perspective, it would make sense to also show a benchmark that can use 64x cores, which is the reason somebody would buy a 64-core CPU, and see how the single-core one compares (typically 64x slower).

---

To me, the only news here is that Apple GPU cores are not very far behind NVIDIA's cores for ML training, but there is much more to a GPGPU than just the perf that you get for small models in a small number of cores. Apple would still need to (1) catch up, and (2) extremely scale up their design. They probably can do both if they set their eyes on it. Exciting times.

Of all the things that struck me about the man, the most impactful was his self-awareness to say "I was wrong" multiple times in major ways. Even after believing with fervor many of us will never approach.

Belief drives us to push through hard tasks, but ego corrupts and holds onto belief even when facts dictate it should be reevaluated.
