I will respectfully disagree with you. I am Australian, and have worked in many workplaces across white and blue collar jobs. What you are describing is an attitude that is fast falling out of favour, and in my mind has died in the last ten years. We do not have a culture of brutal honetsy, and I think that this is a good thing. That honesty may be refreshing to you, but there are many people in the workplace who do not communicate that way, and can be hurt or marginalised by that kind of manner.

You are perpetuating a myth of the straight shooting hard working everyman who calls it how he sees it. This is not the Australia I inhabit, and working with many foreign born individuals, along with different genders has proven to me that this strategy only perpetuates power imbalances among men.

Linus' behaviour would be a fireable offence in my last few workplaces, and I have worked in finance, in government, and in consulting.

I think you need to think a little more broadly about your idea of whether people will just 'suck it up and get on with it' attitude, and ask yourself if there are people you are hurting along the way.

The Linux kernel uses a development process that is very disjoint from common contemporary open-source practice, and easy to get wrong with modern tools that aren't specifically configured. It's indubitably a very effective process for their purposes but of course as an outsider I pretty much only ever hear about it when someone has a hard time with it...
I went a decade without playing any video games. For me, doing so eliminated the need for a Windows PC. I was able to focus on learning new skills and grow professionally without the distraction of games. Hearing from friends about games built up my curiosity, and so I picked up Skyrim in 2019 and Fallout 4 in 2020, both via Proton. With a couple minor bugs, they work great. I am so glad to be able to game on Linux.

The author did actually rename it now that it suddenly has a much wider audience! It's now "Open source projects: consider running office hours"

Given that, I think we can safely assume his original audience (blog regulars) didn't mind the title. I realize accuracy is only a small effort, but it IS an effort. Why spend more time on it than is necessary for the audience?

Your source seems to be low by about 2 orders of magnitude on the energy density of lithium. They assume ~100% of a battery is made of lithium. There are only 200-300g of lithium metal per kwh in a lithium ion battery[0,1], or 12-18MJ per kg.

4.6 GHz all core with AVX512 surprised me. At least AVX512 downclocking seems to be a Skylake problem.

Ice Lake (which Rocket Lake is a backport of) similarly doesn't downclock much: https://travisdowns.github.io/blog/2020/08/19/icl-avx512-fre...

The 100+C temperatures suggest it probably should downclock a bit, at least on 14nm.

PDS: I was watching this video, and approximately at 362 seconds into the video, we see the following chart (which I thought was highly interesting):

Quantum mechanics: The Popular View

o Quantum mechanics is weird!

o Quantum objects can be both waves and particles: wave-particle duality.

o Quantum objects can be in more than one state at once: superposition.

o You can't simultaneously know exactly two properties of a quantum object: Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

o Quantum objects can affect one another instantly over huge distance ("spooky action at a distance"): entanglement.

o You can't measure anything without disturbing it, and so quantum mechanics is subjective."

---

But, why did I think this chart was highly interesting?

Because it stacks many ideas in an area of knowledge side-to-side -- where they can be more easily be thought about at the same time!

Now, the author goes on (as the rest of the video progresses) to debunk and/or set the record straight about these ideas (a few seconds after the list, a red X appears on the chart...)

Now, I don't know if the author, in his views, is right or wrong; nor is this an endorsement for the video; but I think that the chart, in the way it is displayed, is highly highly interesting in the way it lays out ideas...
> it drives me up a wall when people use it in things like email or Markdown documents

Are there many editors that can rewrap long lines in a Markdown-aware way when displaying long lines?

I mean if you create an outline with significant nesting depth (like 3+ levels) and all the items are more than one screenwidth worth of text, the editor linewrapping is going to make it impossible to see the structure.

Otherwise you get this unreadable mess:

. + Foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar
. baz foo bar baz foo bar baz
. + Foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo
. bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz
. + Foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo
. bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz
. + Foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo
. bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz

Instead of this visually-apparent structure at the left edge (produced using emacs's hard-rewrap command "fill-region"):

. + Foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar
. baz foo bar baz foo bar baz
. + Foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo
. bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz
. + Foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo
. bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz
. + Foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz foo
. bar baz foo bar baz foo bar baz

(I had to add the periods at the left edge to prevent HackerNews's awful markup processor from "helpfully" mangling things... apparently "verbatim" only means "verbatim" if the whole block has the same level of indentation or something)

Hard-wrapping is basically an acknowledgement that text editors are never going to understand the semantics of all the markups and programming languages we use. And web browser text-edit widgets will be even worse. Then there's the situation where you have markup-within-code-comments. I don't think it's reasonable to expect editors to recognize how to rewrap all these different cases intelligently.
You are 100% perpetuating the culture of 'deserved abuse' that I spoke about. People DO deserve respect. Everyone does, and I will assume someone is a good person until proven otherwise. People like yourself and linus create toxic communities of insular looking people hurling insults outward to people looking, and feel justified in their behaviour because they have trod the golden path to 'earning the right to not be belittled'.

TROS: How IBM mainframes stored microcode in transformers (2019)
Scary! my university uses Microsoft for email, but I think they use the cloud hosted version but wonder how much code is shared between the versions. When I added it to the mail app on my iPhone, it mentioned it could wipe my device. Guess that's a default with the implementation but that is a turn off. So I ended up just installing the Outlook app instead since couldn't find imap support. I feel like on desktop, just using the web version or even adding it to my home screen would be another use but partly was hoping to just have all my accounts together.

I'm not saying you have to retrain into a different career path, but I think at that point it's not unreasonable to reflect on whether what you're doing with your spare time is really making you happy, and whether you wouldn't be better off for purely selfish reason if you gave up on project management and idk wrote some scuba software.

When I was growing up, I had a similar experience of people in the neighborhood watching over me. But my youth was vastly different than an inner-city one. You touched on mass incarceration, which is a result of failed economics. In many of these communities, there simply aren't enough jobs, so low level crime becomes a way of survival. Drug use compounds the problems because it affects employment opportunities, as well as increasing the incarceration rate.

I didn't say this was solely a Federal problem, though the Feds have the most money and mechanisms to address some of the problems. The state plays a huge role, as does Baltimore. They simply have less resources, though more accurate street-level information.

Issues like this are so complex in terms of factors, that fixing it will take a huge amount of money, time, and attention. And even then, much as the issue is multi-dimensional, it's multi-generational; not just in Baltimore, but in Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta, in the majority of inner-cities. Families have grown up with no hope, with little opportunity for improving their lives, with poor educational systems, with a "justice" system that sends a kid to Rikers for allegedly stealing a backpack.

Then add the racism that is prevalent in our country, both institutionally and individually. It gives me great sorrow to see so many lives squandered, and I doubt it will be resolved in my lifetime.
Wait, is that right? I thought that was one of those "lies to children". I mean, yes, the electrons move (er...drift), but I thought the important thing is that it's the charge that moves, not the electrons.

Around the world, divorce and single parenthood are taboo, and raising children in two parent households is the social expectation. Even though that’s the dominant view in the world, IFS is one of the few American sources who will take the position that what most of the world believes and practices is actually a good thing. Meanwhile, standard left-leaning news sources like the New York Times religiously follow the minority viewpoint that the increased personal freedom from the sexual revolution and liberalized divorce laws justified those changes. So which exactly is the propaganda?
Some form of GPU with modern display out is needed for some multi-monitor setups (mostly 4k), even if you don't do ML or gaming. Unfortunately there are also many motherboards out there that only support running one 4k monitor at 60 Hz even if the integrated graphics support more.

If society cared, it would intervene well before they needed that, and it wouldn't reach that point.

Since it doesn't, it doesn't intervene at all, and it still never reached that point.

>"Newer high-temperature superconductors—so called because they can superconduct at relatively balmy liquid nitrogen temperatures above 77 kelvins—were not around when ITER was designed. But they can carry much higher currents, tantalizing fusion designers with the prospect of smaller, cheaper reactors.

Yet they are brittle, persnickety materials, so “a lot of people had given up on them,” says Rod Bateman of Tokamak Energy, the U.K. startup that is also betting on the technology. “They were just too unreliable.”

In the past decade, researchers have developed ways to deposit thin layers of

superconducting rare-earth barium copper oxide (ReBCO) on metal tape.

The tapes can be manufactured reliably in long lengths, and perform best at about 10 K. But in terms of low-temperature engineering, “10 K is a lot easier than 4 K,” says magnet engineer John Smith of General Atomics in San Diego.

The ReBCO tapes can be bent but, being flat, are challenging to wind into coils, Mumgaard says. “You have to stop treating it like a wire and asking it to do the things that wire does.” Commonwealth has developed a cable with stacked layers of tape twisting like candy cane stripes.

The company believes the cables can carry enough current to generate a 20-tesla field—1.5 times stronger than ITER’s—in magnet coils just a few meters across."

Weird Idea: Might have future applications in warping space, like in a warp drive... (but don't ask me how that would be possible at this point in time!)
That happens all the time. It's just not called being canceled.

When CPAC de-platformed Milo Yiannopoulos and Young Pharaoh, weren't they being canceled? Yet I have no problem with them doing that.

Whenever I try to come up with a non-partisan definition of "cancel" - one that doesn't explicitly point to "liberals" or "left" - I easily discover that of course conservatives also cancel.

Because facing negative consequences of actions or expressions is part of human nature.

Now, of course there are times when I think that the "canceling" was wrong. If someone loses their job because of their support for unionizing, or faces pressure to suppress reporting sexual harassment, then that's both canceling and illegal, and I am definitely against both cases.

My problem is that "cancel" seems to have a built-in anti-left bias, making it simply a proxy for "leftists should stop complaining."
Uh, no. We are fairly sure that we can build a working fusion plant and we know with good accuracy what remaining engineering problems are. We have literally no idea what the path to AI even looks like.
If you are saying that a sitting President have no effect on unemployment rate and the economy, I think it’s fair for the burden of proof to be on the detractors.
