Some cloud providers will trust containers to isolate different customers' code running on a shared kernel, but it's not the norm. I think Heroku might be one such.

Yes it is. Apple is way ahead of the competition in CPU design. Which is why the M1 is making Intel look so bad right now.
They also at one point early on said that wearing a mask if you have COVID can prevent you from spreading it, it just won't protect you from getting it at all. This was simultaneous with the recommendation that laymen not wear masks, but also with the recommendation that everyone should behave as if they have COVID because of asymptomatic spread. The messaging not only raised red flags based on both Asian SARS experience and just using common sense, it was also internally contradictory.

Gazumping seems unethical, but it's also a quirk of language and agreeability. The "gazundering," aspect of this scheme is interesting from a negotiations perspective. If anyone accuses you of it, I'd recommend rejecting the accusation as bullying, and always refer any bid to looking at it when it's on paper.

If you have bought a car and agreed on the price, only to find there is another 30% of "fees," insurance, financing costs, freight, and random whatevers, or taken a minimum wage job only to be charged a uniform rental fee, you have been taken by a similar scheme. There are people who do this kind of scamming full time as their living, we call them "salespeople."

If a seller starts the discussion by advertising an offer to sell for $100, and the buyer agrees to continue the conversation at that anchor price, and then after getting details about the goods, the buyer comes back with a lower offer of $50, that's a pretty transparent negotiation. Naming this "gazundering," seems like a ploy to discourage beginners from negotiating.

It is the seller's responsibility to line up other offers, and it's on them to manage the opportunity cost of any discussions. Using deception to get leverage on the seller by using a fake offer that causes the seller to let go of their other opportunities would be a more accurate description of the unethical aspect of "gazundering," but even then, high stakes negotiations can become a kind of warfare.

When I was about thirteen years old and in secondary school. For the information technology class there was a quæstion on the test which essentially amounted to answering whether machines would ever be able to perform any task a man can, and the “correct” answer was “no”.

I protested this and thankfully the teacher agreed that such speculation should not be part of the curriculum and that though unlikely, one can never truly know.

It's funny how a.i. has advanced so rapidly know that it's almost considered a certainty that for any given task, a machine can be made that does it as well as a man eventually,

Hmm, maybe it's its "TV-ness", but the individual pixels look pretty sharp to me at a close look (no quantum dots or weird pentile arrangement, that should definitely be looked out for), but I have no other low DPI display to compare it to. My reasoning was always "it's just an LCD panel, why would it be different" and so far I feel proven right.

My appeal-to-nature-argument would be that the natural human mix would probably have been much heavier towards looking into the distance than it is now (see the massive rise of near-sightedness in cities), so it can only be better than what we're currently doing.

The US Bureau of Transport statistics provides historic flight schedule and actual flight performance data in CSV tables:

http://www.transtats.bts.gov/DL_SelectFields.asp?Table_ID=23...

But it's cumbersome to work with.

I am working (on and off) on a DBMS benchmark based on this data. As part of that endeavor, I have a script which:

* Automates downloading the CSVs.

* Creates an appropriate SQL database schema.

* Performs a bit of rudimentary cleaning (e.g. invalid character codes; optional)

* Loads the CSV files into the database.

So that, from the command-line, you could get the flight on-time performance data by merely typing in something like:

/path/to/usdt-ontime-tools/scripts/setup-usdt-ontime-db -r -db-name ontime --first-year 2019 --last-year 2020

it's available within this repository:

https://github.com/eyalroz/usdt-ontime-tools

the caveat is that, for now, the only DBMS supported directly is MonetDB: https://www.monetdb.org/ , a FOSS analytics-oriented columnar DBMS.

An adaptation of the script for other systems (MySQL/Maria, PostgreSQL) should be straightforward, since the commands are SQL'ish after all. If you're interested in that, open an issue or write me.

> An IRB did in fact approve the research as part of the peer review publication process.

The IRB did not approve the research, it declared that it was "exempt". That's essentially a determination that the research poses absolutely no risk of harm to anyone and does not require a detailed review, which seems like a very questionable decision to me. One of the things that's worth investigating is whether the researchers were honest in describing their experiment to the IRB.

Also, it's been alleged that the IRB exemption was only sought after the research was conducted and the paper was submitted for publication. If true, that seems to imply that they lied on their NSF grant application, because the principal investigator would have had to certify that either the research did not involve human subjects or that they had already applied for IRB approval/exemption.
They're not starting a CI job per hash (that would be too slow).

Just as you ask for the right to be political on work premises and channels, they ask for the right to be apolitical on those same places. There are people on both sides of the fence. Which right is more important and how do we choose which one to disregard. There will always be disagreement between people and it should be practically impossible to create a society of perfect harmony. In order for both sides to at least tolerate each other's existence you need to create autonomous zones for each one. A company which doesn't want political involvement other than what is directly related to its business is exactly that. If you want to be politically active during working hours, then you don't fit into this company and there is no one stopping you from working for another one which is politically active or starting one yourself. People work better with people with the same core values. Only when both choices remain you actually have freedom and some semblance of tolerance. Remove either option and all you get is strife. Obviously some zones are "banned", like "I would like to kill people" and "I would like to rape people", because we all(or at least most ) agree this is not OK. However, I really hope all(or at least most) people have not gotten to the point where being apolitical is actually not OK and so is its zone.

Sure, you could say the onus is on the people who use cryptocurrency for more than just crime or speculation to give proof about these uses, but for most detractors it'll never be enough, and for these users the benefits outweigh these negatives (or else they wouldn't be using crypto to begin with) so it's all an exercise in futility except maybe to convince any neutral bystanders one way or the other.

If I say cash and banks get used by the vast majority of organized crime I'd be factually correct, but I'd also be accused of whataboutism. In a world without crypto I'd be seriously hampered by an unfair economic system, so to me personally the pros outweigh the cons, but it'd be anecdotal evidence. Hope you see what I'm trying to get at.
>It seems that Apple has put in a lot of development resources into getting Octane to support Metal...and I can’t just imagine that happening just to support the the Apple Silicon GPUs.

At the start there will still be a lot more Mac Pros running AMD hardware that must be supported.

It may not be obvious, but Apple has repair work to do in the pro community. Four years ago this month, Apple unusually disclosed that it was "completely rethinking the Mac Pro." [1]

This new Mac Pro design wasn't announced until June of 2019 and didn't hit the market until December 10th of 2019. That's just _six months_ prior to the Apple Silicon announcement.

So, unless Apple simultaneously was trying to honor pro users while also laying plans to abandon them, it is hard to imagine that Apple spent 2017-2019 designing a Mac Pro that they would not carry forward with Apple Silicon hardware. Keep in mind, the company had just gotten through a major failure with the Gen 2 cylindrical Mac Pro design.

The current, Gen 3 2019 Mac Pro design has the Mac Pro Expansion Module (MPX). This is intended to be a plug-and-play system for graphics and storage upgrades. [2]

While the Apple Silicon SoC can run with some GPU tasks, it does seem it does not make sense for the type of work that big discrete cards have generally been deployed for.

There is already a living example of a custom Apple-designed external graphics card. Apple designed and released Afterburner, a custom "accelerator" card targeted at video editing with the gen 3 Mac Pro in 2019.

Afterburner has attributes of the new Apple Silicon design in that it is proprietary to Apple and fanless. [3]

It seems implausible Apple created the Afterburner product for a single release without plans to continue to upgrade and extend the product concept using Apple Silicon.

So, I think the question isn't if discrete Apple Silicon GPUs will be supported but how many types and in and what configurations.

I think the Mac Mini will remain its shape and size, and that alongside internal discrete GPUs for the Pro, Apple may release something akin to the Blackmagic eGPU products they collaborated on for the RX580 and Vega 56.

While possibly not big sellers, Apple Silicon eGPUs would serve generations of new AS notebooks and minis. This creates a whole additional use case. The biggest problem I see with this being a cohesive ecosystem is the lack of a mid-market Apple display. [4]

Print debugging is sometimes acceptable. Scrubbing dishes with your fingertips totally works, but we all have dishwashers. Dish–washing machines are way better than scrubbing manually, with your fingers or with anything else. Load the dishwasher, then go do literally anything else while the dishes are washed. Even if all you do is go watch television, you will be better off just because you didn’t stand there scrubbing dishes by hand for an hour. More human potential has been wasted by drudgery than by any other cause.

Print debugging is like scrubbing dishes by hand, and neglecting your dishwasher.

Independence is a big factor in the identity of people from Europe with many failed attempts to join into bigger states or falling apart with many people wanting even their regions of countries to split into separate countries right now. Eurosceptics often focus on one small part of being a part of EU and hate the whole idea for it. While EU gave many good things, opening up markets made many people lose jobs because they weren't prepared or they got crushed by the economies of scale of bigger companies which they were protected from before. On the other hand, many people feel like their countries are constantly giving handouts to the less developed ones and feel like that money could have gone to them personally instead.

Someone above posted a Wired article you should check out. Basically, McDonald's uses the same machine to make both ice cream cones and milkshakes, meaning it has 2 hoppers. In addition, it uses a pump instead of gravity, which allows them to serve more ice cream cones per minute but makes it vastly more complicated.

I can see how McDonald's would make a strategic choice to lower their time to serve a customer in exchange for a machine that is broken part of the time. They actually track and chastise workers based on taking more than some absurdly short amount of time to serve a customer. It seems like a corporate strategy for them, and this is in line with that.

For me it's reasonable to keep using AMD Ryzen 5000 which is faster than M1 on my multithreaded workloads anyway despite using 7nm. Plus it has better GPU, more memory, more storage, more ports and supports multiple monitors.

Sure it is more expensive, but that's just because my segment is geared to pros with higher requirements. Apple currently has no laptop offering on this tier.
