Yeah, well, yellowcake and mushroom cloud disinformation came from the government, credulous reporting on lies from a particular political party. A political party whose leader’s father was targeted by Iraq’ leader for assassination, it was very clear that it was payback time. The media was clearly at fault for believing a lying administration. Sound like recent history? (Although, let’s face it, if you’re leading a country with those neighbors and you don’t have some massive military deterrent, you’re not doing your job...) Whether the lab-grown story is true or not depends on reality, neither side of reporting has any benefit-of-doubt credibility.

I would not jump from various people’s amplified statements on this one topic to a general statement that “disinformation” is disinformation. Hey look, only the people calling “disinformation” are disinforming you! Yes I took the clickbait, taste the hook there with the worm, and spit it out.
Cast iron is so extremely versatile and durable. I’ve had this one iron skillet for 23 years and it just seems to get better with age. I would also highly recommend enameled iron cookware like pots and pans from Le Cruset (it doesn’t have to be that brand though, there are plenty of excellent off-brand alternatives that are just as good and a lot cheaper).

As for headphones, I obsess over the Sony MDR-7506s, which to my ears are the best sounding headphones ever made. These are old-school wired studio monitors and they outperform any hyped “high-end” overpriced headphones. They have a neutral, accurate sound and are surprisingly inexpensive. You can still get then new for about $100. They are my secret audio weapon.

Oh and I love Jetbrains tools. I specifically use RubyMine quite a bit. VSCode (with the Ruby and Rails plugins) is great, but RubyMine is just very mature and polished, and it feels professional.
Just because some other organs are also evolutionary marvels doesn't mean the sphincter isn't one.
I wonder if that is the ideal path though, I was an instructor for a few subjects in my university and sometimes the biggest detractor for students was the lack of familiarity with the tool set used by the language,

for example, people sometimes did not know how to freeze their dependencies and use python virtual environments when working with python projects, that lead to problems in collaboration, handing students "magic" prefabricated environments could lead them to believe that that's all there is to it, and explaining that it is not to the student in an edge case might end up being less productive than understanding this process from the get go

you could say that the _effort_ to set up a development machine should be part of the learning experience, at least that's what I think.

Numbers being overblown?

Absolutely not. You can't claim absolutely.
A motor that doesn't require energy violates the second law by definition; a selectively-enforced barrier that lets hot particles through but not cold particles didn't obviously provably cost energy.

If that sounds like a cop out, remember that the Demon is a metaphor that's supposed to represent an as-yet-undiscovered technology. Like, instead of a literal massless door that opens and closes, something like, "What if we discovered a clever way of designing a little gap between two chambers and ionizing the particles such that only hot ones go through."
Yeah, I understood the analogy just fine, thanks. Obviously the parent was drawing a parallel between the pampered do nothing ants and the Kardashians.

I'm sorry, I thought I was engaging in a conversation with specific people about a specific topic (drug decriminalization). I didn't realize I was engaging in a nebulous discussion ranging to what liberals feel about guns. I don't have anything to say about that topic at the moment. Apologies.
Investopedia and Boggleheads will get you very far.
Chinese does have autocorrect and spell check based on statistical analysis of how often words are next to each other. Another benefit of such a system is that it's similar to romance languages where when characters are used in different languages, even though they are pronounced differently there is some mutual intelligibility. I don't speak french or portuguese but when reading the ingredients list (which they always put a sticker over the English section to show the local language) I'll use my Spanish knowledge to know what's inside.
This comment is hilarious. It's like saying "being a doctor is so hard... pulls out an amputation saw"
I don't really have the necessary background in physics so maybe that's it but this article just doesn't seem to get the point across very well.

> Two advances would be crucial to solving Maxwell’s demon.

At this point in the article there had been a description of what Maxwell's demon is as: "Imagine that this nonexistent thing does X and has this outcome", however it's utterly unclear what the question is that needs to be solved. Whether such a system can exist? Whether two rooms with more order would violate some law and why? No idea. Can't I have two insulated rooms if some magical creature teleported certain particles magically from one room to the next? I saw other comments about the pointlessness of the thought experiment, but that's not my gripe. But there must be an explanation of why it really matters and what is to be "solved" here when the word "solve" is used.

I have the same problem with other thought experiments or rather their dumbed down description, e.g. Schrödinger's cat. They focus too much on the quirky scenario and superficial outcome ("oh, that would mean ...") but not on what specific questions it raised in the end and what the exact follow-ups were. And most importantly they leave out very crucial details.
For instance, I think one important piece to Maxwell's demon (from Wikipedia) is that the demon doesn't do "work".
Huge parts of the California desert are also classified as urban as the counties are so large, some of those places are extremely remote. Even the western central valley, other than i5 cutting through it is remote and sparsely inhabited.
> Something else: It fosters a more competitive work environment, by allowing capable workers to choose the best firms.

Do you have data showing that the gains in competitiveness offset productivity losses from higher unemployment?

>Finally, anything more than essential coverage could and should still be privatized, and paid for by individuals. Much like today’s life insurance today. e.g., long cancer recovery and care.

What is the difference between essential and not essential? I don't think there's a good objective basis for what is and isn't, it just comes down to the costs healthy people are willing to bear, which comes down to feelings again.
> didn't reveal the tricky word because it is highly industry-specific and possibly identifiable

I suspect this article (or at this part of the article) is bs.

Non-native speakers know highly industry-specific words very well, because it is the words they are using every day. Moreover, industry-specific words in business correspondence rarely have double meaning unlike everyday words.

> Would something like "Program behavior on overflow is determined by processor model and configuration" not work?

Not sure; if nothing else, that seems like it would allow the implementation to avoid documenting any implementation-defined behaviour with a blanket "all implementation-defined behaviour is whatever the hardware happens to do when executing the relevant code".

espressobin is currently #90 on the openwrt table of hardware for single board computers you linked.

personally I'd way rather have a system that boots a good Debian rather than openwrt, & the espressobin will fair many times better/be much easier than many of these openwrt-centric alternatives. and it will happily run openwrt too. this line of chips from Marvell has done a good job over the years keeping good upstream/mainline kernel & u-boot support. whereas openwrt often good es out of itcs way with out of tree patches to support all kinds of difficult hardware environments.
Thus the charging curve should be better and not worse.
Yeah, it sounds like KMag essentially wanted the BIOS to be a sort of microkernel, with other kernels being implemented under it. Beyond performance concerns, given the PC's history I'm also not sure whether e.g. Linux developers (which initially was, well, Linus) would have been happy with whatever microkernel and API had been given there.
> Social - remind you of a persons name

There was an MIT startup years ago, based on the observation that for some (impaired?) population, when glasses flashed a name, if it was correct, name recall improved, but if it was wrong, there was no negative impact. So low-accuracy recognition was ok.
Was you complaint about something related to Japan or the life there or the administration?

Japanese people very easily feel compelled to defend their group, because if not they are often treated as "anti-japanese" by the most right-wing (which are the most vocal) of their relations/neighbors. This in turn leads to a lot of self-censorship.
The state has an obligation to the people. Not some people who don’t like the state anymore.

I’d feel this way if it was left leaning folks who want the liberal regions to join California.

It’s not about “these people” at all for me except that these people happen to be the ones we’re talking about.

I’d appreciate it if an armchair shrink not diagnose me without knowing me.

It’s not the obligation of the state as a whole to kowtow to already free people who are feeling captured when it’s their own minds keeping them where they are.

This problem is already solved by the US Constitution which allows for them to move between state borders as they wish. It’s not on the whole of Oregon to satisfy them.

iPhone XR:

I've been deeply sceptical to anything Apple since I burned myself on a MacBook Pro from 2009 to 2012 (misplaced ctrl key, no proper alt-tab replacement, opening the file selector in one window would freeze other windows from same application)

18 or so months ago I was so tired of being burned by flagship and non flagship Androids that my job would give me: Samsung 3, two Notes, Sony (can't remember but the best there was at the time), and also Nokia 6.1 A droid One edition.

The last android phone I liked was Samsung Galaxy II.

Going to iPhone was fantastic:

- when I touch an icon that app just starts unlike on all my Androids after Galaxy II where the phone seemed to always have a reason to wait a bit first.

- upgrades doesn't install Amazon ads or anything (hi Sony! Once you've sold it it is not your phone anymore)

- iCloud is fantastic

- one less thing to worry about if Google decides it doesn't like me

Now I am wondering if I should get a Mac. It can't really be that bad anymore..?
> The Western ethos of self-reliance and freedom owes a lot to them.

So the notion of "self-reliance and freedom" that makes Western ideologies suggests you're referring not to Native Americans but "pioneers"--the people who settled the Western lands without government help. Except, I guess, for the help it provided by clearing the land of its prior inhabitants who somehow didn't know the land wasn't theirs anymore. And providing basic infrastructure like schooling (funded from sales from Township 16). And funding the construction of railroads so that homesteaders could acquire the goods they couldn't make themselves and sell their excess produce to US markets.
Extra variability could be an incentive for CI builds to do their own caching.
"If the market-maker cannot buy or borrow in time"

This wouldn't be an issue at most MMs who trade a diversified basket with a small position size on any single instrument. But based on my understanding, it does sound like a systemic risk.

What about a rule such as "you can't short more than 5 percent of the float", + require them to keep cash as collateral, as a way to sensibly limit the risk without banning the activity outright?

In your example, the MM was providing a valuable and healthy service because they were trading against the rip and slowing down the squeeze.

"hedge fund speculation that provides essentially zero utility"

I don't agree that hedge fund speculation provides zero value to the economy.

I believe on net they provide zero value to their customers since there's an oversupply of them and perfect competition has driven margins down to below fees. They rely on a hucksterish confidence game to trick customers into investing.

But security pricing is important to get right since it guides trillions of dollars of capital allocation in the secondary market. A world where Moderna gets that next billion is much healthier than one where GME gets it. So as an industry they're adding lots of value that way.
Wow, great story!
I fully agree with you. I was just trying to resolve the apparent incongruity between the results in the controlled setting vs the observational results.

Great work, thanks!

I'm curious whether disabling the slow kernel network features competes with an tcp bypass stack. I did my own wrk benchmark [0], but I did not try to optimize the kernel stack beyond pinning CPUs and busypoll, because the bypass was about 6 times as fast. I assumed that there is no way the kernel stack could compete with that. This article shows that I may be wrong. I will definitely check out SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_CBPF in the future.

We differ, and that’s okay. I’ve lived in something like eight or nine houses as a dependent and a similar number as an adult, and I don’t consider it housing stress relative to the trauma of what some of my high school students experienced.
Good games have fitting rules. This current ownership system is a framework of rules we generally accept. I’d be willing to trade some control for security, so long as I don’t have to maintain a lawn and can instead plant prairie/meadow/woods if space exists. For example.
I prefer to minimize traumatic events for as many as possible, especially in early life.

It's also because most of us poop in a sitting position.

Squatting, as you would do outdoors if you didn't have a toilet, spreads the buttocks and there is much less cleaning needed. It also promotes more complete emptying so you don't have fecal matter left "pinched" in the anus that needs to be wiped up. If you use a typical western toilet, get something like a Squatty Potty to prop up your feet and you'll find you need to do much less wiping.
"Lingua Franca" refers to an earlier period in history when French was the common language used across Europe, among the nobility in particular. You can read it as "common language for international communication" to understand why it's used to qualify the "globish" variant of English nowadays.

Admittedly, using a latin expression literally describing French to mean English may be slightly confusing...

I definitely noticed a change in behavior at stores and at weddings I photographed once the mask mandate happened. Before it happened? Small backyard ceremonies with just families. In stores people straight up avoided being close to others.

After? Normal, but with masks.
Yeah, or the idea that maybe helmets in gridiron football increase CTE.

I see the possibility, but my own anecdotal experience with mask wearers and non-wearers jives with the other correlation: that non-wearers generally didn’t take the pandemic seriously.

The people that I know who shunned masks also ignored the COVID threat in other ways: Large gatherings, vacations to another state to escape lockdown restrictions, etc.

Whereas my religiously-masked friends were basically isolated last year.

And because I have several such anecdotes, I now have data :)

wholeot of nonsense you don't have to learn if you just use systemd. dhcpd? bah. systemd bundles a very adequate far better integrated DHCP server in systemd-networkd. all it takes is:

DHCPSsrver=yes

in the eth1.network file. Address=10.99.98.1/24 to pick the pool. IPMasquerade=yes will make it forward too. Done. In a standard, understandable, uniform way. Unlike picking & choosing some random daemons to serve random jobs, unlike hacking up some random iptables script you've duck taped together.

Conversely, we're nowhere near that yet, so that bit is meaningless. And work is essentially still a means of producing value. As such, it's a heuristic for people's contribution to society and cooperation. Why would we, as a society, wish to incentivize the defectors?
Leopold Kohr, the great decentralist economist, used to tell, about going to Lichtenstein and wanting to visit the Prime Minister of the country. He went to the castle, rang the bell, and the man who answered the door and ushered him in, whom he assumed to be a servant, turned out to be the Prime Minister himself. And when they were seated in his office, chatting, the phone rang and the minister answered, saying, “Government.” You see? with a tiny country like that government is always there, always responsive, always able to answer the phone and take care of your problem.
