Beating the integrated graphics in an i7 is nothing, especially on the older chips. Intel integrated has never been about performance. It really isn't saying much when comparing to the 10th gen chips. They use the old Iris graphics. Apple didn't adopt the 11th gen which are actually contemporary to the M1 and use an entirely new integrated gpu.
I think Mr. Graham's advice works on essays and usually on non-fiction writing, which he is fairly proficient. It might even work perfectly on genre fiction. But literary fiction is a different beast.
>Pinker traces the origins of this dynamic all the way back to 1975 and the publication of E.O. Wilson’s “Sociobiology,” when Wilson and other biologists “would get shouted down” for expressing the view that genetic and other evolutionary considerations determine, in part, social organization.

Two things that might serve as food for thought:

1) I guarantee that know-it-all, newly-minted young adults getting mad at professors didn't start in 1975, though simultaneous social shifts (e.g. things like the anti-Vietnam-War movement) might have made it more socially acceptable for the youngins to speak up in those places.

2) People complaining about being oppressed on campus because of their ideas frequently seem to have the same weird idea. Whereas, no one goes and yells at Lee Smolin when he bags on string theory.
Back in ...huh maybe late 2002, we were testing embedded machines for surveillance video streaming through the then new UMTS 3G system. So we had this very compact (there were no Raspberry PIs back then) Linux machine with its PCMCIA 3G card which would use ffmpeg to stream the video taken by a camera, to a nearby broadband connected PC having a fixed IP.
Everything worked, but we were literally struggling to achieve low latencies because the application would have been in potentially life threatening scenarios; the customer had been very clear about the numbers: half a second maximum latency, not more. We were almost getting there, with some quality tradeoffs, still something was slowing us down, so we fired a traceroute to see the path traveled by our precious video packets, and the shock when we found that to reach a machine on the same bench they went through not one but two countries to get to London, and back.
We filed a detailed request to the carrier, which was our partner, to ask if there was something wrong with routing. We got no reply, other than realizing the following days that they had blocked ICMP and other things so that we couldn't use traceroute anymore.
Making a high quality replica of the Mona Lisa requires work, and it still won't be identical—thus the term "replica".

Making a high quality copy of a digital work requires exactly no additional work. It actually takes more work to make a non-exact copy (say the CPU time of recompressing a JPEG with different compression settings). Because there's no work required to make an exact, indistinguishable copy, there is no scarcity.

If this was just about recording the rights to use/exploit a work, digitally and mathematically backing the concept of copyright, that would be one thing. That would help with, say licensing stock photos. But what does it mean to "own" Jack's first tweet? How does one exploit that exclusive ownership? Is it the words of the tweet? An image of it?
Thanks for the reply. I make some faint, intermittent forays into that space (I'm a developer but not that kind of developer). I'll keep it in mind for my next project.

Good luck!
> Daniel Shaver's death is not argument against BLM's goals, it's an argument in favor of them.

Exactly. I've seen far more outrage about the death of a white man from those who say black lives matter than from those saying all lives matter.
I think the more likely implication is that the US casts a wide shadow over international financial regulations, and that other countries that seek to do business with or in the US will aim to regulate in lockstep with the US.

To that extent, waiting until the US fixes a source of fraud is strategically reasonable.
What baggage, specifically?
For a second I thought this was parody and “Fantastical” and “Superpowered” were fake products.
> Most forums are created with softwares handling everything, virtually nobody creates a forum from scratch with his own tech stack.

If you want to load the user image from Gravatar, you need a DPA with Tumblr. Good luck with that.

Reading contracts and laws in good faith is a pretty bad idea if you don't like being sued and loosing. Always read laws in a way as if someone was going to use it just to ruin your day.
It is not to free people, it is to free the abstract idea of people. This is how leftists are as tyrannical as everyone. They have a romantic idea of the poor which is not tied to their actual existence or wants, and act on it. Too often, it is just a way to morally justify their own wants or desires. Any evil can be justified if it helps a faceless mass of people.
> China does in fact get people out of poverty and is making serious efforts to make education as accessible as possible.

That is exactly what the Soviet Union did for the first 30 years of its existence.

> For the past 20-something years "experts" have made predictions of how China will catastrophically fail "in the next 5 years" because whatever the latest issue was that we just identified with how China does things wrong. At least you put your predictions 20 years in the future so you don't have to correct them that often. ;-)

20 years ago, China was barely on the radar of anyone in the media.

> As the article says several times, it's better to prepare, rather than trying to find arguments that the problem will magically solve itself and everything will comfortably stay the way it is.

I don't disagree with that, but it's always important to accurately identify the problem before implementing solutions.
> I think it's done to decouple versions.

From the repo's README:

> We have 16 open source custom elements:

It's feasible that GitHub also have some components that are temporarily or permanently private. Having one repo per component may help to remove the need for that distinction among GitHub developers, who don't have to first check whether to import a component from a public or internal repo.
They can’t be used for local development, so hard to consider them a general computing platform. They are more akin to consoles than PC.
Why wouldn't people use Expedia? Honest question. I don't use it a lot; I usually book air and hotel direct. I do use other services as well on occasion but Expedia can be useful for discovery if nothing else.
Now let's clippyfy the universe:

These are not differences in principle. These are just practical differences that affect efficiency of distribution of information, with a little moralistic paint on it.

There's no difference in principle between homosexuality in the UK in the 60s and now. But it was illegal then, not now. Something being legal or illegal is not a fundamental difference. Something being fundamentally different can be a reason something should be legal or illegal, but something being illegal cannot be used as a justification that it should be.

As far as copying, looking at the fundamental principle that libraries operate on, that information should be made available to as many people as possible as best we can regardless of their socioeconomic status, the only difference I can find is that torrenting and copying are more efficient than libraries in achieving the stated goal. When libraries do it inefficiently it is regarded as a virtue, when we do it ourselves more efficiently without institutional support we are regarded as thieves. But fundamentally, are they not the exact same thing?

My question addresses yours because the answer, if it is "they're not fundamentally different in principle" which is my position, negates yours entirely, and if you can show me how they're fundamentally different in principle, negates that very powerful and apt criticism of your position. The answer basically determines if you're right or I'm right.
This is strongly undercut by "the DNC (i.e. the establishment) united behind Biden" who is currently POTUS instead of Bernie or Trump.

Can we get a rid of the cookie notifications next? They're so annoying and usually end up conflicting with Adblockers and breaking pages because they're not fully blocked.
For all practical purposes, Signal's backend is also closed source. The public repository for the server code hasn't been updated since April 2020 (nearing a year now) though Signal has, in the meantime, come up with features like new groups that necessitate storing more metadata on its servers.
Anyone knows how does it different from Firefox Send. What is the features will restrict users from abusing it.
FYI, Firefox Send was discontinued due to security reason.
This makes me wonder. What Linux does Google run? I'm guessing Debian.
It already comes with Apple TV preloaded, whether you like it or not. Apple isn't adverse to frontloading you with subscription models, as long as it's a Premium™ experience.

First of all it is a clear case for law enforcement to get involved, I am not on Binance side on this one. However, I would strongly discourage anybody to start investing in crypto with a 100K ticket. It is much better to try it with 100USD and see how it works and start to put in a fix amount every month.
Dear CDC
I don't understand this focus on "species" in the abstract over the individual members of the species.
For now the best way I have found is to put the content on my website, in a folder protected by a password and served by TLS only. Anyone can receive it, I control expiration and access, even as a sender I'm using extremely simple, reliable software. It's not like I need to send a lot, it just works.

The hardest part is being able to have a domain name that links to my machine. After that Caddy makes everything extremely simple.
Try mentioning it on Twitter and Pinker will cancel you (well, he'll block you anyway).
I think the point is that its a one and done transaction. You bought the software on platform X. 3 months in it might engender goodwill to swap it. But bought software deactivation isn't really a thing...

Now subscriptions. I notices my jetbrains stuff worked with the same license key when I switched it to linux. But I'm paying them yearly.

I'll totally agree there is no need to be rude. Though I imagine if you are in customer service for a while, its probably a natural defensive posture.

Microsoft hack: 3,000 UK email servers remain unsecured
No theft took place there. The user made an unbelievably poor decision to wire 100k out of a business account into a personal account where the names don't match up. Furthermore the person communicating with Binance is not the legal owner of the account but instead the grandchild of the legal owner.

Third, the legal owner of the account is apparently afraid of using online banking, but not afraid of cryptocurrency and this is used as a justification for not just using the simple ACH method that could have resolved this whole thing in a matter of days.

If you're Binance, everything about this looks like money laundering and Binance is absolutely in the right to have acted this way. If anything, I wouldn't be surprised if Binance reported this to the authorities.
I am not an expert on criminology. I only have a layman understanding of psychology from university so I can not tell you how the experts have reached a consensus on racial justice in urban USA is skewed against black people (but I bet there are other people on HN that can; if they are willing to spend the effort; which I doubt, since I am almost over this already).

But my layman understanding of psychology is enough to recognize how experts deal with large number factors in social models. You don’t just pick and choose (in fact that is what I’m accusing racists of doing). There is a large body of literature that experts consults. In an average social psychology study you find something like citations to 30-60 different works to back up something as trivial as a study on the stress relation effects of living in proximity to high noise pollution. It is anything but convenient. To the contrary, it is a ton of work. I’m sure expert criminologists have spent years doing nothing but familiarizing them self with the literature so they can best judge how do deal with different factors in their models. And if they do mess up (which I’m sure they do) the self correcting nature of the scientific method will make sure that the worlds knows how their models were erroneous, and subsequent models will take this extra knowledge into effect.
What do you mean? I see you have no answer to my question, though.
Yeah, but you do to give him legal aid and agree to pull strings to reduce his sentence.
There's a certain point where private organizations wield almost as much power as the government.

At what point do we, as a society, recognize this is a problem and start regulating those companies to force them to operate for the good of society instead of just for profit?
Neither Pinker nor McWhorter are worth paying attention to, quite frankly, on linguistics or anything else.
I literally do not know a single person with a landline, so I cannot say if that is remotely true or not. I'll take your word for it. But what I am 100% sure of is that you could make any telephony noises you like down my phone and you will not succeed getting access to my banking details.

You'd probably have better luck calling the bank and trying to persuade them.
At a certain point the messenger becomes the message. There is a big difference between isolated events and patterns.
So morpheos137 asks for statistics, you provide none, but accuse him/her of racist skewing of statistics. Um... pretty sure you're the one with the agenda here.
I think the answer for those projects is probably a netboot diskless pi and have a server that handles the PXE boot + disk.

Folks here have done it, then all your pis are online easily, especially with poe.

I think it would be great for camera stuff - it's like VMs turned inside out where your server runs lots of remote physical machines.
Googling around a little bit it actually seems like they have a lot of their largest customers in their US. Apparently Whole Foods, Walmart a bunch of other retailers and several American government institutions like Fema and several city administrations.

Wouldn't surprise me if the US is actually their largest market.
They don’t need to, but the desire to see it is understandable. Raspi is the de facto ARM linux box. It’s cheap, it’s everywhere, it’s performant. If you have a niche interest then the platform that it’s been developed and tested on is raspi. That’s far more valuable than a $10 savings on a $30 computer.

That makes more sense. I thought it meant that IBM is sunsetting RedHat Linux distro.
the idealism that is common among college students is admirable, but I don't think it's at all tough to say thousands of students are wrong. about half of college students came straight from high school and have had little experience of the world outside of controlled environments designed, for better or for worse, specifically for them. many are at the very cusp of realizing just how much they don't know. I cringe to think of the simplistic and absurd positions I and my fellow students held and advocated for in college.
The comparison was to oxygen.

And then I'm separately making the claim that using proof of work won't set the stage for anything interesting in the future, no matter how much heat it generates.
Is it? They’re about 4th globally, and way ahead of the EU.
I kinda feel bad for John McWhorter. On Twitter, he gets attacked as a sell-out to his race (including by white people!) for strongly holding what are basically widely held center-left positions. It's thankless work.
There was an old adage saying that you should not do upon other what you wouldn't want to be done to you. Remember that being gay was in the crosshairs ? By bullying perceived right-wing ideas, you only expose yourself to a pendulum swing.

Never forgive, never forget.

ps: I have been harassed, bullied, I will not surrender my guns to the [old] new bullies, NEVER.
I hesitate to respond to this because I've been scolded by dang whenever I make political comments about specific groups, so I'll have to speak very generically. I will say that political movements can be either ambivalent towards or in support of destabilization of the current regime, even if that means doing things that superficially appear to be counter to their goals, so long as their politics are normalized and even chosen by the information brokers.
Why is that out of curiosity?
Holding powerful people accountable isn't a bad thing. Attacking people who have little power over relatively small things and not allowing them room for growth and reflection is a bad thing. And even for the people with little power who did pretty bad things, we must allow them to be forgiven too. You can't have criminal justice reform without this.

We need to discuss this issue with the nuance of the above.
> I mean, UI is not an art or drawing illustrations...

Oh, you would be surprised. Anyone can make an UI, but it takes talent to make a good one. Plenty of modern websites are in desperate need of someone who has read "Don't make me think" [1].

I have combined both roles in small projects, and following some conventions about UI design has gotten me far. Modern design tools also nudge you in the right direction, guaranteeing that the result is fine as long as you don't fight against the tool. It may not be excellent UI design, but it's appropriate UI dsign and that's more than half the battle.

Considering that support asked about him logging on from different locations, I'd guess he logged on to US binance from a foreign VPN at one point. That, in combination with a wire from a business account to a private binance account. Definitely flags on that account.

Based on such flags, they might assume the source account is a stolen account, and I suppose they have to make sure the money goes back to the legitimate owner, not just back to the assumed-to-be-compromised account.
Sometimes endowing existing syntax with richer semantics requires almost no documentation because things "just work". For example, cligen [1] uses a macro to synthesize an argv parser -> call dispatch CLI system. It could almost have been a template but it needs to loop over parameters more than once (and then grew a lot of features).

Anyway, since Nim has user-defined new operators, using those might also bother some. E.g., there could be a proc `=>` meaning something very different from that sugar module macro of the same name. Really, these work just like other procs modularity-wise. The syntax/grammar does not actually change, though. It's just flexible in the first place.

These complaints sound more like excuses to me. Every language has calls, styles, idioms, etc. you need to learn as a client of whatever it is you're calling/doing. And every language has quirky syntax corners. E.g., many are unaware that C lets you say "(a,b,c,d)" { which evaluates but ignores the result of "a,b,c" }. Yet you still often hear people proclaim how simple C syntax is. "Compared to what?", I guess (e.g. C++).

I do get where you are coming from "overloading"-wise - not just operators, but also regular procs (which in Nim are the same...there is just a proc `<`). When learning an alien language/code-base/libraries it really helps to have jump-to-definition. Nim via nimsuggest has great support for this if you configure your editor (vim, emacs, VisualStudio Code, etc.). You may have skipped that step but might love it more if you did it next time. nimsuggest can be aware of local and global --path modifications and the type context of the jump-to-definition. So, it can do a much better job than, say, ctags. (and yes, nimsuggest works for all the various definition types like macros, templates, etc., even the ones named like an operator such as `<`).

Pinker:

2. I am a victim of censorship!

3. You must listen to me!

That's pretty awesome to fit that in one paper.
Even if Google were to actually sell data (which they don‘t and never have. Selling targeting is way more profitable). They straight up legally couldn’t with health data because of regulation like HIPAA.
Part of it may be that superior knowledge was highly secretive and well guarded.

That's why I'm saying it's the same as today. There is no good reason a peasant would be unable to read, except that nobody taught them, which should not take too much time for alphabetics, or that it was written in a foreign, holy language.

Heck, Runes were considered to have magical power and ritual incantations were highly formularized--as they are today: a) e.g. in fashion brands, b) e.g. in law code to the extent that it requires professional translators

Or closer to the topic, take maths, which has a highly formularized, international, often ambiguous and domain specific writing system. Indeed, it's also a good example of a science where instruction is crucial, and most information is left out in writing because the reader is expected to have it all in working memory.

Even better analogy, computing machines: Not only do write with them, but in a sense we encode information in the, well, object, just like a sine and cosine wave diagram (or animation) encodes the motion of a radius in the circle. Only the keenest reverse engineers are able to read out the fundamental principles of its working. But, for analogy, CISC was found unwieldy so the trend is going back to RISC and doing hyperscalarity via networking, to solve heat problems.

Anyhow,domain knowledge implies today as it did then where to get stuff, not just how to use it. Specifically for the Iron age this means knowledge of iron mines, geography and geology. Maths and other structural sciences are only peripheral.

Given that early Iron was meteoric, one can kind of see how a connection to the skies and gods could be drawn.

And we have to wonder about fate, too. Some resources simply deplete. It's not that the knowledge is lost, but its application. Calenders have been further developed, certainly. Currently we predict the future on the end of global climate. Yeah that's sad, but it puts the little bit of heat that I put out as background noise into perspective.
Think of it more as short-selling Steven Pinker's work in the marketplace of ideas.

edit: I like this analogy the more I think about it. If I tell my friends I strongly disagree with Steven Pinker today and his "valuation" continues to fall, I can gain social credit. There is a risk involved in this, however, because sometime in the future science may gather strong confirmatory evidence that Steven Pinker was right all along, and I'll have to trade in an even greater amount of social capital (e.g. because I'm forced to admit I was wrong or go all defensive kook).

Sorry, following the increasingly bizarre news with cryptocurrency and GME is something I've been doing too much of lately.
You need to read the short story referenced above to understand the context.
