> Would you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamebait comments to HN?

No, I will not.

> Of course, it's cheap to create a new account, because we want HN to be open to newcomers

Of course you don't, especially if the newcomer don't follow your groupthink.

> I'm sure you wouldn't drop lit matches in a dry forest or litter in a city park or dump motor oil in a mountain lake. Please don't be that sort of person here.

Quite the contrary, I will love to. The ecosystem is rotten to the core. Stop being a coward and own who you really are. You are not "open". You are just as close minded as the people you claim to fight against. I've been banned from many forums, from HN to right wing ones, developed a thick skin in the process against mere splinters.

Like when cp does it?
Sounds like you're actually comparing your CPU in avx mode vs not. This is a common source of this type of behavior, avx is insanely power hungry.
Seems good, starting with "Today I wake up and" it gave the following:

Today I wake up and eat my breakfast in silence. Alone. I am actually kinda happy with that. I listen to some podcasts and read the news before leaving to get a couple of documents together. I’m going to my mom’s today to have a meeting regarding my eviction notice. My mom still lives with my dad. I can’t ask him to do anything, though, I guess. I was always so used to having to ask for stuff, that I completely forgot I could get people to do what I want for me. My mom, for instance, is not as bad as my dad, and I actually don’t mind asking her to help me with everything. It makes me feel like she loves me. I know that this is a small thing, but it’s something that makes me happy.

I get to my mom’s apartment at 5:30. The place is very nice. There is a roof terrace, an elevator that goes up and down (where can you find something like that in an apartment building?!), and all rooms have their own AC units. All of the furniture is in good shape. The appliances were also all upgraded recently, so there is a full washer/dryer, a coff

I've probably done it a bunch of times on my side projects too, but in any environment where code review is enforce you should probably be enforcing using the tooling to do the merge too, and not giving individual developers permission to push to the main branch.
I think only "participating in long term studies" counts here, the rest don't actually get results that can be compared over time. And if you're taking the rest because you have learning difficulties, why would the results apply to humanity in general?
That's news to almost all scientists and many solar and wind farm companies.

Do you have a peer reviewed paper or two "proving" this?
Please let's not add yet more military fetishizing to IT. "Military power" should refer to things like military engines, not totally unrelated electronic performance boost modes.

> Apple had an opportunity with OSX to take over a larger space of consumer computing by releasing it for clones and general intel/amd PCs. They flubbed that.

You're pretty much suggesting that Apple should have directly competed against Microsoft. And back in 90s and 00s lots of companies that tried to do that went out of the business fast. There is a reason why buying a PC means you'll get Windows OS in 99 percent cases.

I mean you may have a point but without time machine that's impossible to prove.

> The ARM desktop lead will last about 18 months I'd guess.

1) There isn't a single ARM laptop that even remotely competitive with Apple's M1 in terms of performance and power consumption.

2) Microsoft already released Surface RT (a tablet using ARM architecture) back in 2012. It wasn't fast. Win32 applications didn't work. And Microsoft lost aprox. 1$ billion due to poor sales.

3) Their latest device Surface Pro X can't compete with Intel Core 5 laptops. You need Windows Insider preview to use x64 bit apps. And Surface Pro X isn't cheap. In other words ARM Windows laptops are not ready for the mainstream use.

What I'm trying to say is Microsoft has been selling ARM based devices for like a decade. And hasn't been exactly successful. Is there any reason why you believe they'll be able to turn things around in just 18 months?

^^ bingo.

India has low vaccination rate and extremely bad outbreak of Delta variant that's undercounted by all accounts because there's simply not enough testing available.

It's prudent to ban travel from there. And it should be mentioned that most countries banning travel for Indians are also banning travel from the UK for same reasons, which makes this article fall apart.
I hadn't noticed this format before, but wouldn't one want to include a sha or git tag in such a citation?

I did see the month and year keywords, which I guess would narrow down the number of commits it could have possibly been, but nowhere near the reproducibility of citing the software used
This gives me an idea of building a type of web application firewall that would be used for chat related sites like this that would automatically block bots/spammers/trolls.

They can do it but the fine will bounce. Or they could take the person to the police station to be identified if/when they find out that the person uses invalid documents of a deceased person. It could maybe help if police stopped her for ID because her problem would then also become their problem.
Mac and Windows have something similar, though not as specific. They all appear to be rough estimates based on the CPU time and the frequency at the time the process ran.

The processor in the 1541 was identical to the c64… 6502. (Or 6510C)

The serial link between them was notoriously slow. I studied them extensively as a teenager, and had reams of disassembly printed out in fanfold dot matrix, with my own scribbles. This is how I learned 80% of my computing skill set.

The signaling between the drive and computer used a clock line and a data line. When reading from the drive, the drive would set the data bit then invert the clock. The
CPU would be polling the clock line, and when it changed, it would read the data bit. There wasn’t any fancy hardware like DMA. It was basically two cpus connected to get her with a couple of I/O pins.

I can’t remember where I saw it, but there was an extremely fast driver going around, and sure enough I disassembled it to find out what they were doing.

Before each 256-byte sector was transferred there was a loop which synchronized the cpus in the drive and host computer, down the the clock cycle. Then they used both clock line and data line to blast all the data, two bits at a time down the lines. The cpus didn’t wait for any clock to change, they just read the data as fast as possible. Wrapped with a bit of error detection to top it off.. in the end it was about a 10x speedup with the same hardware…. Which at the time was totally mind blowing
Losing O2 isn't a huge deal as humans - it's the outsized effect of replacing O2 with CO2. O2 is 20% of the air, N2 is 78%.

CO2 lives in that last little bit and, given its miniscule contribution to composition, has a far outsized effect.

No need to dig a big pit, either.

Almost all the radioactive waste that exists is from bomb making, not from power generation.

If you also create a good plan to recycle reactor fuel into new core assemblies, the total amount of waste drops by a significant amount below the relatively small volume power generation creates now.

Spent fuel rods are presently stored in casks on the grounds of power plants. There aren't mountains of them.

Got (including the `[...]` in the middle; that is, everything beyond this trailing colon is its result):

Though I might not have gotten the overall award for RPL, I certainly came in close for the more specific one of having the highest score in a core language spec proposal. And yes, there were more than two people (including me) that submitted those, but somehow a few of my friends and I pushed it over the top. So I wanted to give credit where credit is due, so I present this write up of my proposal and the (not so minor) additions that were needed to get it through (I may have exaggerated at times but it really isn't much).

Yes, you do lose some points for a paper that you haven't quite finished, but that's what the RPL is all about - the unfinished.

Since I want to go to RPL I would like to know if someone can explain to me why I have lost any points. I have deleted my paper from the site
The problem with the theory is that the people who have a choice to avoid it just move out. The wealthy who stay can live behind gates and walls with paid protection. The people who promote these theories live in such a disconnected reality, relearning basic lessons in ways that cost societies as a whole and tragically create even more inequality and inequity than was present when they started. Now you preside over a piss-stained, violent[0] city with an eroding tax base and a widening chasm between the haves and the have-nots. Congrats.

I have a local maildir[1] account in Evolution. Each of my (IMAP) mail accounts is set so the "archive" command moves the message to a folder under the maildir account (if you're using Evolution, this can be configured under "Defaults" in the account properties for each IMAP account). Anything worth keeping from any of my IMAP mail accounts is archived to the local maildir, everything else is deleted.

The local maildir account is searchable like any other mailbox (I have about 10,000 messages going back to 2003). Syncthing[2] is configured to sync the maildir directory for backup and sync.

Thanks for the links and explanations. It seems political definitions of what is an isn't a "language" are more political than I realised.

On a side note, I actually found it a little bit ironic that Afrikaans was listed as a dialect of Dutch in his paper.

Many South Africans would disagree with that classification quite strongly, especially since Afrikaans has its own literature and regional dialects.

In turn, there's a movement to classify the coloured dialect of Afrikaans as its own language (Kaaps), in fear that it will be swallowed up by the more standard "white" form and erode their cultural identity.
"A noble goal however, the planets biodiversity is in a death spiral."

I don't want to debate. I'm a nobody. I just think there are too many people on this planet, and we are ruining it for the rest of the animals.
Prompt: Jason made a pancake.

Result:

> Jason stared at his image in the griddle's stainless steel surface. The image of a large, freckled man wearing a black t-shirt and green plaid boxers. It was like he'd stumbled upon an abandoned photo shoot, or a bizarre prop out of an old TV series. A figment of his imagination from a nightmare he'd had once where he was alone in a house, free to do anything. Aah. That was it. He'd been sitting in the dark eating his microwaved pizza, watching some sort of porno, and thinking about strange little things he'd seen when he was growing up. When he was younger, things were simply that much stranger. Everything he'd seen, for that matter. It was weird how that worked. He'd stare into space, the fog of drugs would clear, and some unseen object would immediately become a mirage. The pattern was always the same, though. He would fixate on some tiny detail, and a few seconds later that detail would become a goddamn spectacle. Even the stranger things in his life took on that shape. The porno had images in it that meant nothing, in their own way. And he was always left to ponder what sort of symbolism might be hidden beneath

Such an emo AI.
Thanks for explaining it to me!
What you are asking for is for people to protest more nicely and to have a co-ordinated message. Ignoring the impossible ask of trying to get a single message from a decentralized movement, people have been asking for police reform. Black Lives Matter is founded on police reform. The original michael brown events was in 2014. I explicitly brought up Kapernick because he's been asking for reform in 2016! It's not until people starting saying defund did the message change from "well can we just have reform instead"?

Protests have always been extreme and riots has been historically the best vehivle of change for the proletariat. People on the ground are rarely going to be amazing orators in explaining what they need and for a underprivileged group, being reasonable has never worked. You have WSPU escalating to violence for Women's Suffrage in the UK. You have the troubles in Ireland. You have the underbelly of the violent race riots in MLK's marches.

And how do you keep it from escalating? By solving the underlying grievances people have. Most people don't turn to white supremacy through a pure ideological belief that the "white race" is superior. They start with system problems - increasing health costs, increasing housing costs and lack of upwards mobility, and in their search of their solutions they find someone who tells them what they want to hear.

At the end of the day when you have people rioting in the streets the time for "rational" discourse has long passed. The people who are most loudly chanting defund the police have been trying to reform for almost _10 years_.
Are models like GPT-3 ever used as a basis for transfer learning like the BERT/etc ones?
IT overlap is mostly because computers and the internet are military technology. Mainframes, IC's and the transistor itself were bankrolled by US military money.

The internet and GPS, the core technologies of our time, are both direct descendants of the US military.

You may not like it, but the entire IT and tech field are built on US military tech
Yeah Bret Weinstein is just like Copernicus.
The manufacturer doesn't know this, nor is it easy to determine. Is the max turbo frequency on air the max? On water (if so with what size rad with which fans)? At what ambient temperature? Is the max including tau, if so does that max change when it's about to expire? What about if the CPU was on ln² but the user has run out and can't add more to the cooling pot?

Every one of those numbers is different, and frequently the only way to determine if a frequency is possible to use for stable operations is to try it and see.
How do you motivate yourself to work hard if you feel like you're distracted and want to be lazy all the time?

You have to take the good with the bad. Steve and Bill were able to accomplish what they did because of their unique personality quirks. Those same quirks make them not always compassionate or empathetic people. No one is perfect. Steve was who he was. A lot of people who were closest to him seemed very sad that he passed. He must have made a positive impression on them.

What don’t you get? Policy makers are out over their skis believing in a utopia that runs contrary to human nature and economics. They can’t admit the physics of the problem so just keep insisting they haven’t gone far enough. Graft creeps in as it always does, corrupting the machinery that (even generously) may have originally been born with the best of intentions. Everyone is afraid of being labeled as intolerant or an asshole so nobody has the courage to call out the emperor’s lack of clothes - to say this isn’t working and needs radical correction to enforce some social norms and define acceptable behavior under penalty of imprisonment, labor, or some undesirable consequence for the offender. People are thus held prisoner by the group think and the social glare. It’s only worse now with social media enabling a cancel culture with very real and significant consequences.

The flip side is that if, from a policy perspective, we decide that the licensing doesn't matter-- then it's extremely likely that anyone else can make a copilot competitor.

If we decide that licensing is required, it's likely that no one except github (or a few other huge players) could ever make something like this just due to access to the code.

(Github would make it a requirement of the TOS that your code is licensed to allow copilot to use it, and require users to indemnify github from third party legal action arising from github using code you posted in copilot.)

>Fukushima has dumped gobs of radioactivity into the ocean.

You mean the Japanese government has.

That aside, total radioactivity emitted by Fukushima's leaks stands at about 35 PBq if you count the amount released into the sea.

Total radioactivity released by coal burning power plants world wide is ~200 PBq.

Annually.

Fukushima grabs headlines, but it's releasing far less radioactivity than the ongoing operation of coal burning power plants.

>the effects of radiation contamination may not be felt for decades, in things like early cancers, reproductive problems, and birth defects, and be hard to trace back to their original source.

Especially since Fukushima is statistically unlikely to be the source, since so much more radioactivity comes from elsewhere.

>Radioactivity is extremely dangerous, this is a well-known fact,

Radioactivity is completely natural. It can be dangerous, but so can fire if you don't know how to handle it.

>and to not acknowledge the great challenges around managing nuclear projects and the waste they generate

Nuclear power plants generate only a small fraction of the waste that things like bomb making generate. The largest challenges for managing it are political because of the prejudice of the public against it.
More likely, she would be the French equivalent of a "Jane Doe" or someone else who they could not prove their identity.

The more questionable/compelling scenario would be if she had some sort of contract in her name - loan, credit card, lease, whatever - and whether it could be enforced. At that point, the plaintiff would have to prove that a) the contract was valid and b) it was with her.

Of course, since she doesn't have any form of ID, whatever notarization-equivalent wouldn't be possible.

Or maybe, that's the loophole? Sign a contract with her for some small sum. She breaches the contract. Now sue her to prove her status and identity?

My God, what a mess.

Here's another problem: what if a program is i/o-bottlenecked, and taking up 50% of the CPU's cycles. Because the CPU utilization is not 100%, it clocks down to 50% of its maximum clock rate, so now the program is taking up 100% of the CPU's cycles. This isn't throttling, it's just regular power management.

Clearly that's a different kind of situation; how do you distinguish the two?

It sounds like you don't ever use a computer as a consumer. Go ask your non-technical friends how often they're "capacity planning" when they pull up Task Manager.

And I'm just talking about what 99% of ordinary users expect most of the time. Nothing prevents you from measuring whatever metrics you want either. Obviously "I think this is what most people expect utilization to mean" obviously does not imply "I think you should be banned from anything else you might find useful"...
