Personally I think UncleMeat's criticism is dead on and exactly why as you say Jon should take the historical argument out. Although you'd get a much less pithy title without collapsing civilizations.

Arguments about sourcing feel like face saving rather than legitimate criticism of the view bought forward by UncleMeat. After all the original video is completely unsourced but apparently beyond reproach in that regard. Also where we have sourcing (for example the Dark Ages wiki) it only strengthens the point made by UncleMeat as they were indeed correct about the views of historians.

More broadly if we want discussion to be well sourced we shouldn't apply that selectively and in particular selectively against the people who disagree with us.
"Hi I'm too busy to read this myself someone go understand it for me and summarize it tx"

Even a polite request for a TLDR suggests you want to say you read or understood something without making the effort. I might help you fake things like that but only if i really like you, and still feel a little skeezy about it cuz its wrong.

Less polite, more arrogant demands for TLDR (which is how many come across) are worse. Feels like being bullied into helping someone cheat.

By comparison, try this: "I read half of this and am totally lost? Can someone help?" The same question, but the feeling is much different with just a little implied humility.
Unfortunately not, the sensitivity increases don't work like they used to. You can also marginally increase the sensitivity in terminal directly, but again, not enough to compensate for the 2X bigger trackpad.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, all the best with Vantage!
if you don't do anything locally that benefits from significant compute performance then, yeah, it's gonna look like the market is standing still.

in reality, even in intel land much progress has been made in single-thread performance and even more for multi-thread.

take a look at these benchmarks comparing a 4770k (4C/8T) against a 10700k (8C/16T), both launching at $350: https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2659?vs=2664
I wish Firefox would consider adopting some of Vivaldi's best UX improvements instead of fiddling with the size of the ultramegabar and dropping TV show promos into updates.

Vertical tabs is the one that most comes to mind. For people with many tabs open, tabs at the top is a completely broken experience. Tree style tabs is OK but it doesn't remove the redundant tabs at the top, cluttering the screen.

Edit:
If you want to compete for market share with chrome, this is a great way to do it! =)
It's for people who look at the keyboard when they type.

That's a pretty narrow view.

I've been a touch typer for many decades now (had to pass a minimum WPM score on an IBM Selectric to get my journalism degree), and I find the touchbar quite useful.

The problem is that you have to customize it. And the tools Apple supplies are inadequate.

In my case, I have a bunch of "keys" on the touchbar that trigger various macros.

Building a major change for one small set of users ("people who look at the keyboard") isn't how Apple does things.
Sounds like he was HFA (High-Functioning Autistic), with some extra Trauma Sauce.

It can be quite difficult for folks like this (Disclaimer: IR1) to find happiness. Crowds, high-stimulus environments, external expectations can be quite chafing.

It can also be tempting to latch onto external things and people, to try to heal something that can't really be healed; but only mitigated (long story, but I went through that kind of thing, myself). I can understand anger, when they don't "fix" us.

I can also relate to the "sleep it off" thing. It would be sort of like Miranda, in Serenity.

It's a really sad story. There are quite a few people like that.
The new machines are great. I used a 2011 Air forever, having a high-DPI air was on my list, so when the new ones dropped, I ordered an i7 in March... which I recently sold on Swappa since I had to upgrade to an M1 :)

But of course, no magsafe, and only 16GB of RAM, so if it's your daily workhorse I can see waiting for the 14" MBP with more RAM and beefier chips.

The defining characteristic of "Democracy" is that everyone gets to vote.
Nothing in the article said “why hasn’t this been researched by the CS community?” The author was complaining about the state of things, and I don’t disagree. Programming is too hard. Error messages are always funky and assume expertise. And perhaps the node folks should better understand that beginners are often a target of their product and should find ways to make it more accessible to them.

Blueprints and Scratch are widely used and are important tools. Your comment sounds very dismissive, and if you meant to be, then I think you’re unaware of their impact and reach.

That said I don’t fully buy the author’s exact argument:

- node.js local install IS for a traditional programming environment on the CLI
- you don’t need node built in when you have the browser
- plenty of web IDEs exist that do as the author wishes… run node code in the browser while also editing it.
Just looked it up and it is actually very similar, along with Pinboard. I even planned to have an opt-in "popular" page for my app before hearing Pinboard does this. They are surely examples to refer to.
Of Windows, I have no comment; but Linux—what!?

I have heard, and keep on hearing of, many tales of problems with NVIDIA drivers on Linux, and there’s some functionality from the GPU that simply isn’t exposed in a usable way on Linux.

But I can only think of hearing of one problem with AMD (integrated or discrete GPU) drivers within the last five years, and that one was promptly fixed (it was a missing break statement that caused I think it was the RX 570 to be misclassified). But generally speaking, provided you have a recent enough kernel, I gather that it all just works, perfectly.

Now admittedly AMD GPUs are less common than NVIDIA ones, but even taking that into account the evidence is overwhelmingly against NVIDIA.
Thanks for that, I think you've persuaded me.
The author can't seem to make a basic google search either.

What he's looking for is basically Anaconda for python or MatLab; Environments that are already pre-configured with packages so you can import whatever you want and start coding. But that's less clickbaity.
Thanks for the info. It's possible I'm mistaken or that it behaves differently for movies vs TV shows. I'll pay attention tonight and update back here. If it is behaving differently between platforms, that seems like a bug I should report to Netflix.

Could be the fact that strangers don't know you so they can't judge you. Your long term friends and family know you possibly better than you do. Being around friends and family can be a great way to learn about yourself. The problem is, some people see themselves and hate it.

The entire system is designed to eliminate human nuance once the order is given. Exactly how successful it is is impossible to say, but it's designed to make carrying out the order both fast and straightforward.

The only tricky bit is if the President wanted to execute a nuclear plan that hadn't been devised yet. But if there's an existing one (attacking NK, Russia, Iran) then ordering a first strike is really straightforward with an absolute minimum of people in a position to refuse.
Skrillex is actually regarded as a leader in Brostep, a subgenre and/or style of Dubstep. At least in the USA, Brostep has practically supplanted Dubstep and co-opted the name. This has been occuring for about the past 10 years. A big factor is the "drop" part of Brostep sounding very attractive to non-EDM people who head-bang, and to whom traditional Dubstep would be percieved as "boring" or not stimulating enough (without intoxication). This has led to a re-enforcing cycle where domestic EDM festivals reach greater audiences, and so they keep promoting Brostep as Dubstep.

Personally, I'm not a fan of this shift. I prefer EDM from the era of the track you linked to, and/or contemporary artists who emulate the older styles.
I don't see much evidence that they care until it notably impacts their free disk space, which at current storage sizes is when you reach about 1GB (or even much later, depending on your target demographic)
Yes it does!

Gravity is generated by energy, and mass is just one type of energy. For example photons produce a gravitational field of their own, and are influenced by gravitational fields.

So yes, energy in the form of velocity does produce gravity.

It can get complicated to calculate though, because velocity in the same direction as the observer doesn't exist, only in other directions (including perpendicular).

A thought experiment: Two huge identical masses are traveling toward each other, and perpendicular to an observer. They collide and "stick" to each other. All their velocity is now rest energy, which obviously has gravity.

But this means that even before they collided they also had gravity (since you can never create or destroy gravity, only move it).

Now rotate the experiment - one mass is traveling toward the observer, and the other is traveling with the observer. This time when they collide part of it is rest energy, and the rest is kinetic (since the observer is still moving, while the two objects stopped each other dead still at a point in space).

But this time, the mass that was with the observer had zero gravity (from the POV of the observer), but the mass traveling toward the observer had more gravity.

But it means that gravity is not a "global" phenomenon, it depends on your POV. And that makes for some difficult calculations if you must account for multiple objects all moving. (For example in cosmology. From my understanding the calculations are so complicated that they are mostly just ignored because few objects are moving fast enough for it to matter.)
I love the design of the MagSafe chargers, you point out a great advantage of them, but sadly they aren't durable. And like the parent comment said, they are expensive. I'm on my second for my current laptop and it's frayed on the end so I'm soon to be on my third. Hopefully a next iteration of MagSafe takes this issue more seriously.
Yeah, this is the American "Dubstep" commonly referred to as "Brostep". Damn I miss the real Dubstep sound!

> Imagine if humans had another sense we didn't know about all this time!

This is purely based on my anecdotal experience, but I'm 100% convinced some people do have the ability to orientate themselves that can only be explained with magnetism (or something similar).

Also, there have been previous studies on the subject:

> The challenge is selecting the tests that best represent the typical ML/DL use cases for the M1 and comparing it to an alternative such as the V100 using a common toolchain like Tensorflow.

The benchmarks there are actual applications of ML, that people use to solve real world problems. To get a benchmark accepted you need to argue and convince people that the problem the benchmark solves must be solved by a lot of people, and that doing so burns enough cycles worldwide to be helpful to design ML hardware and software.

The hardware and software then gets developed to make solving these problems fast, which then in turns make real-world applications of ML fast.

Suggesting that the M1 is a solution, and now we just need to find a good problem that this solution solves well and add it there as a benchmark is the opposite to how mlperf works, and hardware vendors suggesting this is the reason mlperf exists. We already have common ML problems that a lot of people need to solve. Either the M1 is good at those or it isn't. If it isn't, it should become better at those. Being better at problems people don't want / need to solve does not help anybody.

How does Bumble scale, and not just end up a portfolio company for the Match Group?
This is indicative of a personality disorder. My father had BPD and behaved this way. My mother was borderline and behaved this way.

People like this do not behave abusively towards their loved ones all the time, it's pretty on-and-off. The loved one is typically a dependent or avoidant. They remain in the relationship because they need the positive affirmations, and healthy people do not want to be with a dependent or avoidant. So, no choice but to suffer the negativity also.

It's clear that this man developed a personality disorder as the result of suffering abuse as a child.
Snapchat Wants You to Post. They’re Willing to Pay Millions
there is a broad class of psychological problems called "personality disorders" and they're basically "spectrum" disorders, there's no one size fits all diagnosis for anybody, and even skilled practitioners go through a tricky and time consuming process of diagnosing patients directly, i.e. we can't diagnose him from here based on 2nd hand information, and especially because we are not skilled practitioners.

wrt your "personal theory" (sense of obligation leads to resentment), that's too simplistic, but for the sake of argument, let's say you are on the right track, here's how to improve your understanding of personality disorders: all people feel the resentment of obligations to those close to them. That part is actually the normal part. The question is, why doesn't the person with this disorder (we are hypothesizing) feel the other positive parts of a close relationship that help a better adjusted person feel in balance, and then take the normal resentment of obligations in stride.

I suspect this is just an instance of the pretty common response to having made a decision that was weighing on you. If it's a big one (divorce, career change, etc.) I'm sure most of us have experienced this at least 2nd hand.
If it's anything like the fast run-up, that many people cashing out could really hit the price.
> Transferring nuclear waste and processing them is not cheap.

Actually, it is, because there is so little of it.

However, in the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the US government declared that only the US government can handle nuclear waster, and nuclear power plant operators have to pay into a fund so that the waste handling will be funded. It then spent the following 38 years doing a grand total of exactly nothing, forcing the power plant operators to store the waste. And not for lack of funds, because the Nuclear Waste Fund sits an an unspent $45 billion.

Please stop pretending nuclear waste was either a financial or a technical problem. It's purely a political problem.

Which US law places a cap on damages caused by nuclear power plants?
They removed this feature and I like the rollover previews. Where can you change this?
It feels like the combination of Yang's presidential run and covid has broken the seal on the idea of UBI in the US. After having the experience of the government sending everyone direct payments, I think it's all but inevitable that we'll arrive at some level of formal UBI in the future.

Given its sky high bipartisan popularity, it's hard to imagine how any non-UBI supporting politician will be able to compete with a UBI supporting politician going forward. I'd speculate that this was the deciding factor in the Democrats' recent Georgia runoff victory. Nothing motivates voters like the prospect of money placed directly in their pockets.

While I'm strongly in favor of UBI and think we are basically doomed without it, there are a couple things in particular that I worry about:

1 - As the Frédéric Bastiat quote goes: "the state is the great myth that everyone can live at the expense of everyone else". Once people get a taste of UBI, how do we prevent voters and politicians from pushing it to unsustainable levels? It seems like the incentive on both sides will be to always push it higher and higher.

2 - Motivation and purpose. Imagining a world with UBI, widespread automation, and general or close-to-general AI, what percent of humanity will be able to meaningfully contribute? If the number is, say, 50% or less, how do we maintain any semblance of purpose and opportunity under these circumstances?
Where does it say anything in there about censoring a domain?
> I do take exception with the constant tonal use of absolutes which seem to be trying to lead the reader to a false conclusion based on that false fear.

I don’t think that’s the purpose. It’s describing features of the protocol, which are the defined rules. Yes, humans deciding not to follow the rules can result in different results, but when we are discussing what the rules for use of nuclear weapons use ought to be, you probably don’t want to avoid considering improvements on the basis that that status quo is acceptable because, in the event that the rules currently in place would result in an outcome viewed as undesirable by certain key actors, there are points in the process where they would be able and likely to execute an unconstitutional coup d’état.
It’s not really about regretted purchases for me than it is about giving some corporation that power over us. Additionally, the internet has become a cesspool if advertising and google is a huge part of causing that. It’s also that google is serving adverts for scams, malware or just exploitative garbage.

I also feel that while you and I may be doing ok avoiding this stuff, many people don’t including old people and children. That’s not ok. I know that’s off topic here, but the more data google and about us, the less likely it will be that we can protect ourselves or others from this.

Finding the person who can make hiring decisions or at least can advocate for you is so much easier than having to play the lottery of submitting a job application blindly.

It lets you present your value, show you can communicate well and that you really want to work there.

If you just drop a generic cover letter, that's low-effort. If you spend the 10 - 15 minutes to write a good, succinct message on how you think you can help and that you are interested in the company, that's huge in my opinion.

I think I have done it in total about 5 times and gotten hired twice from it which isn't a bad success rate!

With all of that said, there is a certain size where this strategy stops being viable but I am not sure where.

As a company gets bigger, it would definitely become less likely to work in my opinion but inversely, I think the smaller they are, the better it will work.

2k max out of pocket expense to me sounds absolutely ludicrous.

In Germany you can have private health insurance (if you make more then 63k a year you can opt-out of public health insurance) and there the out of pocket is usually around €350. In the Netherlands the out of pocket is also something like €300, which most already consider too high.

The option to get it to zero is of course possible but usually doesn't offset the savings.

However the notion of having to need savings to be sick is... to me extremely foreign and strange.
This is likely the result of this discussion. To fix an issue (decide to commit dev resources to develop an integrated keyboard, communicate to users the data leakage risk of using a keyboard not integrated into the app), you must first raise said issue and perform discovery.
