These days people don't believe medias fully even in the western world.

I think it's more a question of having bad medias (that can and did lie) is probably easier to trust than having no medias. Big communist countries (and other non communist, like Tunisia or some middle east ones) had a history of removing journalists.
I'm not sure I can agree with the "death's door" statement, but I do agree that many COVID-19 related deaths were in people with some other underlying conditions.

I also find the way COVID-19 related deaths are being counted to be somewhat disingenuous. Every single person who dies and is COVID-19 positive is counted as a "COVID death." Many of those with an underlying condition may have died in the near term anyway, or on contraction of some other influenza-like virus. I think the figure which we will never know is the number of COVID-19 deaths in otherwise healthy people.

Yet, when 23 people in Norway die soon after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine shot, they are not counted as "COVID vaccine deaths." Rather, every media story I read was at pains to point out that these people were all elderly, frail and had underlying health conditions.

Then there are the other issues related to lockdowns - domestic abuse, mental health etc. The comment by `cheph` about damage to their back and hips has been downvoted to hell, and it was probably written in a combative tone. Nonetheless, these are very real problems that are not being discussed enough.

The COVID-19 pandemic is real and dangerous, but the reaction and reporting is not very well balanced.

I was borderline addicted to D2 during my high school and beyond years. I'd literally do nothing but play D2 for a solid 4-5 year period.

Then I discovered POE, this was back in the alpha days, I created the wiki (which eventually got sold to Curse which is another story) and played PoE pretty muich daily for a few years.

I'm entirely burnt out now, but just hearing the D2 music has got me in the mood to play it again.
It's never openly stated, though, so there are a lot of people who DO use it for other things than games, and then end up with a completely non-accessible app.
The problem is that there are always examples where such witnesses or whistleblowers were planted by actors in the US, like Li-Meng Yan, a supposed whistleblower supported by Steve Bannon. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/20/business/media/steve-bann...

Or the Nayirah case: "In her emotional testimony, Nayirah claimed that after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait she had witnessed Iraqi soldiers take babies out of incubators in a Kuwaiti hospital, take the incubators, and leave the babies to die." Which was all a lie, but a convenient argument for the Iraq war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony

I certainly think it is possible that these atrocities actually happen in China, OTOH it fits all too well into the anti-China warmongering in the US.
Been using Kodi since 2017. it‘s running on an nvidia shield with the files being supplied via NFS from a Synology nas. Currently not using an actual media server like emby.

It‘s been mostly rock solid. Kodi is more flexible in terms of interface. If you don‘t like plex‘s ui - tough luck.

I‘ve actually started using Plex for my highest-end Dolby Vision MKV‘s because Kodi didn‘t support playback yet. Might be different now.

Other than that I don‘t see massive differences tbh. Plex is certainly more of a „set it an forget it“ solution. Kodi is certainly a very good option, but if you have more than 1 user you might need some media server setup in addition (emby server, er even server side plex).

Edit: just updated on my shield. Does anyone know if Dolby Vision is supported now? Quickly tested it with a compatible movie - didn‘t work.

Edit 2: just looked it up. Apparently dual layer mkv is not supported yet. Guess I‘ll keep using Plex for this use case for now.

I've said this before and I will say it again, have anyone actually read any of the testimonies from the actual Uighur "survivors"? To me, the most damning thing is that they all claim female sterilisation is done just via a needle jab, and that's it. Does anyone want to find out how female sterilisation is actually done?

That's right, it requires an actual surgery, and even with surgery, it is only 99% effective https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contraception/female-sterilisa... This really makes me question the narrative that female sterilisation is actually being done to the Uighurs.

I hope it doesn't turn you off, but you need to study a lot before you start investing in my opinion. I mean, you can do it, but you will likely lose money.

Buy a good investment book where you learn at least the different kinds of asset classes. The importance about diversification and basic accounting so you can at least listen to a results call and comprehend what is going on.

The US stocks are "expensive" because people are bullish in the future of those companies, much of it is based on growth.

There are a lot of neglected US stocks, out of all of those stocks you have a few tech stocks, Tesla etc that the market is definitely pricing it high because they have high expectations of it.

There are also other countries markets which I believe you can invest from the US, usually third world countries have the best opportunities, but if you aren't willing to study much about the country, political landscape etc, you will lose money.

Investing is a lot like an information game, where you need to study a lot to get a good picture of it, and might make mistakes nevertheless, because you didn't know something important.

If you don't want to do all of this, I'd advise you either pay somebody to do it for you, like in a mutual fund, or buy the index. But know it can be bad as well. Maybe having some money in the bank doesn't look too bad after all :-)
I like the film. It wasn't anything to do with the book except in name, that was disappointing. But taking the film as its own thing I thought it was good.

I think the book would be better as a series.
Ideally something with a social component. I think a lot of people retire and realise almost all their social interactions were work related.

Simply no alternative has gained sufficient network effect to displace it. The answer might be more in behavioural psychology than technical arguments. That said Bitcoin's conservative (small c) stable development process might weigh heavily into trustowrthiness with buy money players.
As far as I understand, they are one-shot continuations, so no, they are not restartable unfortunately. I believe at some point one proposal had copyable (and hence multi-shot) continuations, but the proposal had other issues.

> It just so happens that it might not map to skin colour very well

Personally I think it's the skintone names that are weird. White to mean a certain shade of pinkish beige... Black to mean a whole range from beige to brown to dark blueish brown.

Our brains are very good at differenciating skintones, unlike shades of cyan for example. But for some reason the skin tones names are caricatures.

Yep, they definitely have a performance impact. Plain old image tags are really lightweight and secure. Unfortunately these simple methods are highly susceptible to ad impression fraud. Really, all online advertising is susceptible to fraud, but if you're paying for clicks or impressions, you can tame the fraud with mass amounts of JS, browser sniffing, data collection, aggregate analysis. This is what the large ad networks like Google do and it's a large industry with many actors.

Reducing this data collection and turning to simpler methods like images increases fraud, which decreases the amount honest publishers would earn (likely hugely). So it's definitely doable, but tends to not make much economic sense at large scale.
Crore is equivalent to 10e6. In this case, that would evaluate to 650'000'000 INR.
He also uses a fairly low estimate of IFR:

> Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. would also suggest much broader immunity than recognized. About 1 in 600 Americans has died of Covid-19, which translates to a population fatality rate of about 0.15%. The Covid-19 infection fatality rate is about 0.23%. These numbers indicate that roughly two-thirds of the U.S. population has had the infection.

I usually see numbers like 0.5-0.6% bandied around for the US, which changes the deaths-IFR estimate to 1/4-1/3 of the country having been infected, rather than 2/3.
The American people may care, and it is money to drive American people to think in the direction money planned. If you think the media is on your side, think again.

Well, they are obviously not stack frames because they do not follow a stack discipline, but they certainly are activation frames. I guess that's the point you were trying to make?

Strange title. The obstacle to "replacing JavaCard" is not the availability or non-availability of some software stack but the fact that JavaCard hardware only runs Java, and the manufacturers that make such devices continue foisting it on people.

This appears to be discussing the use of a software platform on a non-smartcard chip; an ordinary MCU with some MCU-class security features. This doesn't reflect the level of physical hardening that, as far as I am aware, actual smartcard chips have, so it seems strange to make a comparison to JavaCard. (The lack of programmable smartcards other than those which force one to use Java has long been of irritation to me, as I previously wrote about. [1])

AIUI this situation has now changed and there are now flash-based (rather than ROM-based) smartcard chips which use an ARM core (SC000) rather than an 8051 as they often did, but these chips all appear to be NDA-encumbered, making them DOA for my purposes. Whereas ordinary MCU chips lack the same hardening.

My dad was in a similar situation when he retired from chemistry research. He tried a bunch of things, some of which stuck, some of which didn't but still passed the time and got him into outside interactions. In no particular order some of them were: tutoring maths to adults, tending a community garden vegetable plot, being the treasurer for the local naturalist society, research for a local history group, joining a walking club. IMHO your dad's new hobby should be to keep trying new stuff.
We were being taught that way, but not all people will become uncreative. In fact it's the opposite, your creativity has nothing to do with how you were taught. It's all about how you think. Even with conformist education there can be evolutionary talents coming out of it. It's my whole point writing this thread.
> I think you whooshed on the point.

I could say the same about your own grasp of the point; it doesn't seem relevant at all to bring up historical examples of threats to global freedom when we're discussing current examples of threats to global freedom - the PRC pretty unambiguously being one of them (and the US being another, to be clear).
I wish someone would enable me to hibernate in lockdown :-/
It's only evil if you believe in absolute software freedom. But in reality NVidia is perfectly within its rights to apply differential pricing for people who want to play games, and those who want to mine bitcoin.

Who can really blame NVidia for this? The actual target market for these products, gamers and the lower end graphics professionals, have been plagued by supply issues. In the long term NVidia stands more to gain by providing consistent supply.
Documentation rotting is fine so long as:

1. It is easy to tell which documents are clearly marked as snapshots in time vs. living documents.

2. Most docs are snapshots, so people have enough energy to maintain the living documents.

3. There is a slack channel or team name on the living documents. That way, if you see something out-of-date and want to update it, you know where to ask.

It's very odd, when there's countless witnesses, satalite imagery, press teams finding these places, and the CCP even admitting to education camps that there are people going "it's not so bad" and defending CCP.

The FUNARG device was defined in the LISP 1.5 manual, but never implemented. Later versions of MACLISP did a limited version of FUNARG (called FUNCTION*) that solved the downward, but not the upward FUNARG problem.

Then dynamic scoping interferes badly with tail call elimination (TCE), because bindings do not have indefinite extent and need to be removed at some point. The exact point of removal leads to all kinds of interesting problems. The short version is, you can have TCE or correct bindings, but not both. So a dynamically scoped Y will kind of "work", but eventually either cause a FUNARG problem or overflow the stack.
> Not entirely sure why you're being downvoted

I've definitely learned not to be fazed by downvotes on political topics, especially in the current political environment. Like I said (and like you say, more diplomatically), most people are just too dim to understand not only this dynamic, but the very concept of liberalism.
This is fine...

Correlation does not equal causation. Maybe the $1400 stimulus checks were the problem, giving addicts a windfall that they then used on drugs. Or maybe it was triggered by peoples relatives passing away from COVID, all alone in the hospital, that caused an uptick in depression and suicide.

You are making a fairly strong claim that the lockdowns (which were barely even enforced) were the cause. Generally, strong claims should be backed up with some evidence.
Ultimately, I think the simultaneous complexity and lack of built in functionality will limit how often people end up using this new part of the standard. I can use coroutines to write high performance, parallel code in other languages without being a mythical ~library implementor~. I usually even write libraries in those languages.
Playing a bit of devil's advocate, erlang is more reliable with more nodes by its design because it is expecting hardware to fail, and when that hardware does fail it migrates the functionality that was running on it to another node. With only a single node then you have a single point of failure, which is the antithesis of erlangs design.
> Right, so what’s their volume on a100s and are they a favored mining tool?

I don't think there are numbers available for A100. NVIDIA discloses in Earnings how much it makes from each sector: gaming ~50% and data center (A100) ~40% or so. The data-center GPUs are way more expensive, but one can probably estimate the numbers from there.

I'm not sure why would that be relevant, but if someone wants to get some factual information, that's probably the only way to go.

Regarding CMP chips, NVIDIA says that CMP chips are GeForce chips that don't pass QA for gaming, and that GeForce chips can be used for CMP but are artificially crippled to prevent cryptominers from using them, so that they don't No idea.
take GeForce cards out of gamers (which makes sense since gamers are a long term customer base, and cryptominers are usually a ~<1year trend).

A lot of people are saying that they don't believe this information (e.g. LTT), but AFAIK nobody has provided any facts yet.

I guess we'll have to wait and see how easy / hard it is to "unlock" GeForce products for cryptomining, and for some independent testing of how good the CMP products are for gaming.

The last time this happened, LTT managed to retrofit CMP products for gaming, so their skepticism isn't unfounded.

But TBH the main argument of LTT analysis is that NVIDIA cares about its shareholders, and is only doing this differentiation to increase their profits.

I am having a hard time following the argument that suggests that this behavior is "outrageous". That's what you would expect of any publicly traded company. That's also what all NVIDIA shareholders would expect..
