Hi Oli. Just wanted to use the opportunity to say thank you for all your contributions to the audio developer and DSP discussion over the years. I've learned a lot from reading your posts and articles on various sites :)

140 kJ, not MJ [0]. So you'd need a thousand of these cubes for 39kWh. But you can also just raise your single cube by 6km.

The more sophisticated your adversary, the less blame falls on you. It's the same with all those breach notifications talking up "advanced persistent threats" and "state-level actors".

It's better to have been fooled by AI magic trickery than a guy with a fake beard glued to his face.
Geekbench 5 runs the same tests on both platforms, and always did. What you say as heavily based for Arm comes with no evidence.

> The M1 is also ran at much more than 15W in some models.

Nope, it's the same M1 for both, same voltage/frequency curves and top clocks. It's the whole point of having a chip that's named the same. '

No modern laptop CPU has a headline power use number. They all try to use the headroom that they've been given.

Cinebench is very far from being the end-all of benchmarking that you say it is here. And there are far more optimised renderers around if you want to benchmark that. (RTX makes the matter moot nowadays anyway)

It does not use AVX-512, or older AVX levels much for that matter, for a workload that is SIMD-friendly. For Arm, they leave lots of perf on the table too. (Cinebench uses Intel's Embree renderer, with AVX-512 disabled)

Geekbench 5 is designed to be a composite index of multiple benchmarks to be more realistic to some extent than using just one. You can also access to the scores of the subtests too.
In Britain we overwhelming use metric in business, construction, industry or science. Things like feet for height still have resonance but more in a cultural way than practical.
It's the first time they actually did it and got caught. The article specifically mentioned the same actor has been in contact with politicians from Estonia, Lithuania, and the United Kingdom.
Ah, thank you very much for that. I only read the first page because that's what's available on gcache, but it did ring some similarity with the Wired article.

I should have seen it coming. But it's the first time I'm hearing about "syndication". Very interesting.

Thank you very much.

NPM shouldn't be up for serious consideration as part of anything that needs to be secure after their series of incidents like these.

If that's the new standard that is problematic.

I think they should switch to m/s. Seems far more intuitive as a way of understing speed.
I think that’s part of the problem, their new algorithm essentially railroads you into the same results that you’ve looked at before which becomes self reinforcing. Part of the magic that’s missing now is the kismet of searching for something and finding a tangentially related result that happens to be better than the thing you were looking for. Now you have to be aware that your results are being filtered by your past behaviour and that of your cohort and actively fight against it which is terrible user experience.
Speaking as a Canadian mechanical engineer: pretty much all raw materials. Metal bars, beams, sheet and plates, etc. Wire in AWG. Cutting tools for machining are also way more common in inch sizing.

At least metric fasteners are becoming common enough that I can use almost 100% in my designs.
Thomas Sowell does.

Unfortunately, it doesn't fit with the narrative of more welfare, more taxes which allows both parties to increase government spending and gain even more power.
That's a great idea. You could have low latency, high def, high FPS video convos. Couldn't someone launch a plausible competitor to Zoom doing this? I'd certainly prefer that service.
Not under control of any government on earth? It's not 2200 yet. Your entire colony will be dependent on earth for the rest of your lifetime. If we had evidence of nitrogen in martian soil and we had already sent machines that increase atmospheric pressure on the planet then you might be justified in thinking that it's just a matter of time. As it is right now you would have to live in an earth sponsored underground shelter and die in there. By defying earth you would just die sooner.
The Apple Apologist keep saying it is Apple's platform, Apple dictates the rules, if you dont like it go somewhere else.

And yet when EU say it is their market their rules, Apple apologist keep saying foul.

You then have half of the discussion about the term "monopoly" which half of them dont understand and refuse to understand. And another half of the discussions about Apple's BS that they took and state they have very small market shares.

Today, the iPhone has 66% market share in the United States, 75% of U.S. App Store revenues, and over 80% of time spent on the mobile internet.
Leetcrew is right, but the advantage is greater.

Inches are typically divided in powers of two. So you don’t have to represent the 5 digitally when dividing (which you can’t in the binary system).

So, if the basic unit you’re designing with is inches, you can scale up easily and add a 3 with the base 12. Or divide using only 2 which helps the computer out

You assume that none of the homeless can lift themselves up from homelessness. I've read some interviews with them, and it seems that a portion of them just prefers homelessness to hard physical work for meager pay (which is an only option available for them). With the support systems provided by cities and states, homelessness can be seen as a favorable option by people who have an extreme aversion for labor (not to mention that without having to show up for work every morning they can freely pursue their drinking habit). I don't see that angle discussed here.
There are largely tangible benefits using imperial over metric, builders arithmetic is much easier for one, it's all fractions based.

Hasn't the EU already imposed at least as many restrictions on Android than they ever did on Windows? The search engine choice screen, cancellation of anti-forking agreements, and unbundling search/browser from the rest of the apps and services.

But I do find it crazy how utterly disinterested they were with Apple for a decade, and how limited the current investigation into just in app purchases is.

Cobalt is not considered a rare-earth metal. It's actually relatively common. Lithium-ion battery cells do not typically contain any rare earths, but permanent magnet motors in EVs do.
Your sponsors can also just stop supporting you when they want. An uprising on Mars can be struck down by waiting for everyone on mars to die.
To be fair, if Apple provided a more capable package manager, you wouldn’t be allowed to publish an HTTP library to it for fear it may make requests to lewd images.
Big cities in places like India and China are an exception. In these places average salary can be 10X higher than rural areas of the same province. Because the big cities are much father along towards being developed country than outskirts. So housing here is expensive and has the same result.

There are people making $2000 a year living in heated somewhat comfortable homes. Homeless in the US make more than that just in welfare benefits but they live in tents on the streets
As a man, I simply refused to to marry. It's just a legal contract which is potentially life destroying for me.

In Australia you’d be defacto and thus more or less married.
Needs changeover time. Thick stone walls can provide insulation, but their hell on WiFi etc.

Growing up in a 200+ year old building you find a lot of architectural designs and modifications that don’t fit with modern usage. Pre AC maximizing summer cooling involved maximizing airflow where now we want maximum insulation. Before central heating we wanted chimney’s everywhere. And before wood stoves we wanted giant fireplaces everywhere. Even central heating has gone through several iterations, many different radiator designs for steam/water, central air, and now a zigzag of pipes underfloor.

Very old buildings may look nice, but they aren’t inherently better.

I m not sure I get that. You can subdivide metric as well, and we build a lot of things in China, Japan, Germany, England, France, Australia, us metric system users.

It seems that the US, Myanmar and Liberia, the current users of the imperial system, could join us with minimal or negligible cost.
I think you're toying with the dangerous Total Perspective Vortex [0] as described by Douglas Adams:

The Vortex is now used as a torture and (in effect) killing device on the planet Frogstar B. The prospective victim of the TPV is placed within a small chamber wherein is displayed a model of the entire universe - together with a microscopic dot on a microscopic dot bearing the legend "you are here." The sense of perspective thereby conveyed destroys the victim's mind; it was stated that the TPV is the only known means of crushing a man's soul.

Were'nt you commenting or downvoting in an apolitical manner too?

Is'nt my question related to the topic? And if so, why not discuss it?

Have'nt you ever seen HN threads that did touch on peripheral topics? Or are you trying to stifle conversations?
It is a big deal because crowd size varies widely between clubs. Big clubs have so many fans that even in their away matches they have comparable crowds with their opponents.
Not true in northern European countries. The problem isn't day to day regulation, it's the massive demand in cold snaps in winter (when there is very little wind generation - cold weather tends to have little wind). You're talking balancing 20-30GW of additional demand with little solar/wind generation for weeks/months - probably at least 1TWh of storage required for the UK alone.

Keep in mind this will only get worse as heating demand is switched from natgas to electricity.
At risk of asking a stupid question, why is that easier than moving a decimal point around?
Going 30 down the highway. Roflmao.

Edit, hey this actually works out quite well, 1 for walking speed in parking lots and 15 round town.

Though I do think going the other way might be better. 3000 down the highway.
I read David Enrich's book, Dark Towers. It was an easy read and he developed a close relationship with Val because he became a great source for the book. The book gave me the impression that Val likes spontaneity and doesn't seem to have much direction in his life.
Zoom bought keybase a while back. Now it's time to use their identity verification features.
It is perfectly within the bounds of what JavaScript can (and indeed should be able to) do these days, to support e.g. single page applications and smart navigation within them. Therefore, I don't fault Firefox for this, at all.

Yeah well in the rest of the non english world we also have to fight with multiple charsets for simple things such as excel exports and you have no idea the amount of time and money this just cost.

I think it s better than 200 years ago for sure, but we need to continue merging all standards or we suffer for nothing forever.
The best advice I can give is to date/marry/bond with someone as similar as possible to yourself. I know this is both sociopolitical anathema, and breaks the rules of attraction/neediness. The other option is a lifetime of frustration trying to understand why this person thinks/says/does every little thing. This is only fun when it’s inconsequential, and you both walk away, each thinking the other is so impressed that they want to be just like you.

No. Prepare for anagnorisis.

The opportunity for highly-similar pairing peaks in grad school. I believe this has more to do with graduate program success than the grad schooling itself.

But you won’t take this advice. You will choose someone that makes you feel better about yourself, either because they need heroic superior you to fill some deficit in themselves, or because the relationship proves that in fact you are perfect with no such deficits. If you don’t recognize the full irony and impending disaster of that situation, I strongly advise reading any book on codependency.
Getting into contact with the Dutch parliament is actually quite easy, if you have a story interesting enough, you can probably get them to read your email and forward the Zoom link.

A simple phishing attack should be more than enough to confuse these people. They're almost all exclusively schooled in social sciences, business, history, that kind of thing. Incredibly few of them have any sort of technical background. There are plenty of agencies working their hardest to keep the political leaders safe, but they can't fix the people themselves.

A Dutch journalist managed to get into a "secret" Zoom call with the European ministers of defence after a Dutch politician posted a picture of her screen... with the invite link and most of the password visible. I'm sure they're intelligent people, but when it comes to computers, their young children/grandchildren are probably more capable of securing themselves online than they can.

Also keep in mind that there's an aura of secrecy surrounding Navalny's chief of staff even before the Russian government tried to kill Navalny. Things like routing traffic through TOR and the use of privacy-enhancing technologies like Fastmail can be well explained in an environment where the government actively wants to kill any competition to the current leadership.

In truth, I think these people have fallen for a well-put-together spear phishing attack that worked well because of their lack of digital skills. I strongly doubt that the leaders of other countries will do much better; politicians and tech rarely mix well.

I find it much more troubling that the Dutch government is using Zoom, a product with a terrible history in security problems from a company based in the country that notoriously spied on politicians of even just allied countries. Using American software for government videoconferencing (especially about Russian politics) is a terrible risk.
how would marriage be life destrying as opposed to living together without being married?

interestingly, i believe germany has something like a concept of a "living arrangement similar to a marriage" which is completely informal, it's not something you chose but it is defined by a court simply based on the reality of how you live together. the result of that is, to my understanding, that if you separate, one party can still sue the other for eg. splitting your assets, etc. as for child support, the relationship status should not even matter, regardless if you are married, or even live together. you are the father after all, so you are partly responsible for your children. if you earn, you pay.

in other words, you get the downsides of a relationship without the upsides of being married.

How much of our collective chip-manufacturing capacity is being devoted to Crypto mining? (a useless and environmentally destructive activity)

Could Land Rover petition the UK Government to ban the exchange of Proof of Work coins in the UK in order to alleviate this chip shortage? Mining activity is a function of the price of the coin, and even bans from minor economies like Turkey have been enough to decrease prices.
The light touch of the Spanish tikatoka was backed by the dark arts of the aging Puyol and the youthful Ramos. Both had picked up yellows before de Jong got his. A lesser referee could have found reason to give either a second card.

Webb gave the players the game they wanted as good referees do. He avoided an officiating fiasco like the 2006 final.

Fouls are part of the game. They are not cheating.

The game is won by the number of balls in the back of the nets, not by time of possession or completed passes. As they say, "The ball is round. The game is ninety minutes. Everything else is just theory."
> a wall of obscure references that only the niche target audience can understand

The first para contains references to

>> Beethoven and Mozart, even Elvis and John Lennon

The next para lists the 'sisters' themselves. I hadn't heard of them but then that is the whole point of the film under review

> I'm able to find a couple sentences which actually convey what's going on in the documentary and what the author thinks about it

I think the following para is quite explicit about what is going on.

>> The narrative, which is wonderfully told through a kind of archival collage that, along with the futuristic soundtrack of the profiled composers, makes it feel like an avant-garde art film. It explores its stars chronologically and tells of how they evolved the musical culture in terms of not only language but also technology, which itself opened up an array of new avenues without needing the approval of others, again, mostly men. What's interesting is that many of the women profiled were from classical backgrounds. Oram is a prime example, having turned down a spot at London's prestigious Royal Academy of Music so she could work at the legendary BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and eventually building a proto-synthesizer that used a bespoke notation system called "Oramics."

We then have several additional para that goes into more detail.
I'm curious about this also; the case that came to my mind is a daytime baseball game where the Cubs are in Milwaukee.

Cool, and duh about the previous command. I supposed some key that's not used for anything on the command line would be needed. Keypad up arrow instead of regular up arrow. Or a single ESC?
> Very old buildings may look nice, but they aren’t inherently better

I never said they were. I only said that they were built to last and that they were infinitely more aesthetically pleasing because we actually gave a damn about these things as a society. Now we don't.

Old buildings can be upgraded (I should know, I live in one, and have both functional pipes, insulation, heating, and Wi-Fi). So let's upgrade them, and let's ALSO ensure that whatever we build today includes not only modern amenities, but are also objects we can be proud of leaving as a legacy to future generations. Just like our ancestors did for literally millennia.
Chess24 also has I think by far the best output of free chess videos on youtube.[0] My two favourite chess channels are chess24 and chess24 en español. e.g. I'm about to watch the Candidates tournament right now on there, with Judit Polgar commentating and live video. The first few days had Magnus Carlsen (!) commentating.

chess24 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkTCNuQ2mGfW6-SpHpaze_g/vid...

en español https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTzRQxC3i7GOT4jtiTq4e0w/vid... (Divis, el Fo, Niño Anton etc)

For years I played online a lot, but I gave up playing (it's too easy to play all night!) and just watch tournaments. Also banter blitz, on the chess24 channels, with e.g. Dubov, Grischuk, So, Radjabov, Karjakin, Nepo etc etc, not to mention Magnus, is amazing—hearing first-hand how the strongest players think. It's not always fun playing chess, but it's always a lot of fun watching! Every second.

[0] St Louis youtube channel, except for major tournaments, which they do very well, is super-lame compared to years ago when Yasser, Ben Finegold etc were regularly doing video lectures.
So? How much resources does it take to mine thousands of tons of coal a day, or billions of BTU of natural gas?

With solar and wind, you put it up and you're done. No more inputs. It chills in the field.

With coal and gas you're feeding shit tons of material into it every day. And you always need more, for the life of the plant.

It's bonkers you think the amount of steel and concrete that go into a turbine are anywhere close to comparing to the raw materials other power sources consume.

Turbines require steel and concrete. So does every other building above 5 floors

Yuck. That sounds like a github bug to me. bitbucket has its flaws, but this isn't one of them. We rebase review branches on a regular basis without difficulty and have a useable linear history as a result.
Waiting for a chess competition where the winner doesn’t necessarily/always win. Extrapolating the logic used by the said school, losing at chess doesn’t account for the systemic reasons for which players fail.

> Too often, says the lesson plan, "students have to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and if they fail it is their fault." This approach is wrong because it "does not give room for the systemic reasons students fail."

Agreed. It's criticizing the 6 foot rule not the 60, headline should be this buried quote:

Quinine is better as a prophylaxis rather than a treatment - i.e. for preventative or early-stage use, not once it's developed into a bad case. Low doses early (like in the tonic water of the late 1800s) could help prevent one from catching malaria while avoiding the nasty side effects of larger quinine doses needed for treating an advanced case.

Somewhat related, but the glue situation reminded me of the time I realized I'm going to need to hire a woodworker if I ever want quality cabinets in my kitchen. I was doing delivery for one of the big home improvement stores and got asked to stay late and run some cabinets to a customer. Light crap on overtime? I'm there.

I'm looking at these cabinets in the stock room and they're crap. No joinery, no screws, just flat pieces of cheap wood glued together. So I go to joke with the woman who works in that department about how cheaply they were constructed. She looked me dead in the eye and told me, oh no, these were the nicest cabinets we sold in the store. Top of the line. They even use extra glue to make them sturdier.
This is irrelevant, the ultimate objective on mars is finding nitrogen in the soil and releasing it into the atmosphere. If this is possible then it's the first thing you should do, perhaps hundreds of years before the first human steps on mars, if this is impossible, then going to mars was a bad idea in the first place.
