I can see where the author is coming from — the line between throttling and planned obsolescence seems thin (especially when devices with worn-out batteries are subject to increased throttling). However, throttling serves a very important purpose and is much more prevalent than the author seems to realize. Every processor will throttle itself when it gets hot (and I can even remember Apple talking about this in a keynote where they were comparing different models of iPhone by “minutes before throttling at 100% sustained CPU load”). I don’t think users need a setting would allow their device to melt rather than throttle. Similarly, the “Batterygate” throttling was arguably in the best interests of the customer because a phone that performs poorly is more useful than a phone that doesn’t work at all.

I don’t really care if OnePlus or whoever decides to slow down Facebook a little bit, as long as they don’t pull a Volkswagen and send un-throttled hardware to reviewers or anything like that. The engineers decided the phone was faster than necessary but was lacking in battery life, so they decided to make a tradeoff just as if they had decided to switch out the physical hardware for a more efficient processor. The reviews will say “Facebook is a little sluggish but battery life is great”, and whether that’s because of hardware capabilities or throttling is one of many implementation details that I don’t need to be concerned about.

While a “performance” vs “efficiently” toggle would be cool and potentially useful for, I would consider that an extra feature and not a hard requirement. In fact, Apple has this feature already with the “low-power-mode” toggle that applies additional throttling and reduces background activity and network traffic.
Here's the information from Wikipedia [0]:

> The basic metabolic rate varies between individuals. One study of 150 adults representative of the population in Scotland reported basal metabolic rates from as low as 1027 kcal per day (4301 kJ/day) to as high as 2499 kcal/day (10455 kJ/day); with a mean BMR of 1500 kcal/day (6279 kJ/day). Statistically, the researchers calculated that 62.3% of this variation was explained by differences in fat free mass. Other factors explaining the variation included fat mass (6.7%), age (1.7%), and experimental error including within-subject difference (2%). The rest of the variation (26.7%) was unexplained. This remaining difference was not explained by sex nor by differing tissue size of highly energetic organs such as the brain.

So this study [1] claims ~25% difference in BMR that is NOT explained by sex, weight, height, lean body mass etc. That can mean some people can eat an extra burger a day compared to others without gaining more weight.

It's also important to note that BMR is not the only biological component here. Both CI and CO are biologically determined, they are not under 100% rational control. There are clear differences in people in terms of appetite/hunger reaction, and in terms of desire for physical activity, that we don't have a known explanation for (psychology? endocrinology? metabolic causes? gut biome? other?). This is, in fact, the biggest biologically determined component of obesity that is usually entirely ignored and blamed entirely on the individual's self-control.

You can use it for sure. With Arduino, ESPHome or probably others. They are surprisingly accessible - I have very few skills and have a few basic automations and sensors going nicely.

I’m only using a fraction of their power though.
Google has finally killed YouTube RSS feeds

The title link was previously the feed for The Late Show. In their continued war on everyone, Google appears to have killed YouTube RSS feeds as these all now return 404.

Thoughtful critique is fine; this is about comment quality. I'm afraid the sort of generic dismissal you posted, repeating what has become a cliché while adding no new information, does not clear the quality bar. "The community was fine with it" is unfortunately not dispositive—indignant repetition of clichés routinely attracts upvotes. This is a failure mode of the upvoting system (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

Re calling names, it isn't that you called anyone names personally, it's that words like "pseudoscience" and "fiction" count as name-calling in the way you used them, since you didn't actually make an argument. Actually if one removes name-calling in this sense, there's almost nothing left of your comment, except perhaps the last sentence, and even that seems more an expression of disdain than a substantive contribution.
I recently become a father and I'm aiming to take some months of parental leave at least. Of the 480 days of paid leave you get in Sweden, goverment insurance give you up to around 3000USD a month for the first 390 days of Leave. My employeer then offer a benefit to cover the rest so that I get 90% of my usual salary, which is pretty common.

A key here is that one does not need to take all days at once. You can choose to work half time etc. for some years if you prefer and use half-days of parental Leave, making them last twice as long.

It's also pretty common to save days to use them in conjunction with vacation each year up to the child reach 12 years of age (100 days can be save after child reacheas 4 years of age).

This means you can extend the vacation from 1 months to 2-3 months a year instead and the the full summer to hang out with your kid. Very nice.

Both parents are even allowed to be on parental leave simultaneously for 1 months in case you want to go on a longer trip together.
Don't pay attention to dumb narratives. Government, press as well as academia serve themselves. Why would you blindly trust what they say? The relevant science was publicly on the web, and it was always clear from all relevant research that masks are there to stop the wearer from spreading; any doctor would've told you, they are taught about it in school. It was the narrative in many other countries for way over a year, if that's what you must look for (e.g. "chráníš mě, chráním tebe" - I protect you, you protect me - is the official governmental stance in Czechia since March 2020).
While I fully understand and support the underlying idea, I can't stop thinking that the biggest advantage to the Uno and the RPI aren't their hardware efficiency. It's more their ecosystem efficiency. So the form factor is very very important. Maybe even more as everything else. The usual way is to make something better yet compatible, then leverage your own ecosystem to try a different form factor, which can fail without taking down your whole product line.

In the very same way as the infamous xkcd https://xkcd.com/927/
I first didn't think Deno was going to be anything but after watching the last year of improvements and 3rd party modules I'm quite excited to use it on my next project.
> If we really believe that parental leave and parental bonds are beneficial for society, then society should pay for it, instead of hoisting the cost onto companies, where only the richest companies are able to do so.

Yup, that's what the article says at the end:

> But ideally, says Banister, leave for fathers and financial support for that leave should be the state’s responsibility, because putting the onus on employers – as is the case in the US – can lead to a “two-tier system” where only certain sectors offer paternity leave.

[...]

“The government should offer an appropriate minimum package which encourages behaviours that support a more gender equal society,” says Banister.
Respect man!
Normal doesn't mean sensible though. Having worked at a company that does this, there are high performing IC2s that I'd trade for IC4s (to use comparable "levels" here); so I'm not sure what this does other than declarative justification (across tech).

I completely agree with you except I don't begrudge the Utopian streak in people. Its people who are never satisfied, no matter how good they have it, that make the slow progress to a better future.

Even as someone thats only just above a junior engineer, I feel like I've been made to feel stupid or that I was wasting other peoples time or such for "just asking questions" so many times. I'm extremely reluctant to do so tbh. There have of course been people who encouraged and welcomed questions (for whom I'm extremely grateful) but it's the negative experiences that stand out.

It's really been a major contributor to my loss of interest and passion for this industry over the last few years I think.
That guy and technique notwithstanding, the appeal of "banned techniques" isn't just about bringing back the injuries that got them banned, but the fact that they were often very effective. In Judo they made some pretty controversial decisions to ban a bunch of popular moves from competition a few years ago. However they're still part of Judo. A dojo that is concerned about teaching self-defense (as opposed to just competition) might be better if they taught them.

What's the possibility of this being money, treasure, or some kind of bartering token?
I think it all boils down to ask the "why" instead of the "what".

And the answer to those questions is a good signal to classify "seniors" from "experts". Seniors explain, experts know.

> I'll often ask authors of a paper whether it really works. Asking this often leads to the authors revealing holes in their papers, bits where the results aren't quite as good as depicted or things they tried that didn't work.

When I was a student we also had to write papers in order to learn how to do research and document the results. At the end of each paper there had to be a section that discussed weaknesses and shortcomings of the research done. If there were factors left out from the paper for some reason or issues/problems that could not be dealt with in order to finish the paper (there was limited time as we had one semester maximum, this should not be an issue for Phds though) we had to mention it there. I considered this normal as it provides that transparency readers might need for their own research.
No need to apologize! JshWright is correct - reposts are fine after a year or so (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html).

seems to be similar to the argument "GitHub Copilot is not infringing copyright" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27736650 : "GPL people should not push for a extension of the copyright because that will strengthen the power of giant corporations", which is completely bogus to me.

So is this mainly focused on deployment for applications with high-speed inference requirements? I didn't dive into product in detail. I run my own deep-learning based web-app and inference speed optimization is pretty non-trivial. As far as I know production level speed requirements require use of tensorrt which is definitely not hot-start and requires more than a few minutes to load (i'm not too sure what's going on under the hood, not an expert) but has inference speeds of up to x2 or more, so not quite sure what your targeting or if you've actually managed to solve that problem which would be highly impressive

I am on a well, and have frequent power failures.

I got tired of a small pressure tank, and thus no water without power. So I bought a 50 gallon one.

Now I can take a shower in the morning, even without power.

Not sure of the pump to use here, and I think we're discussing the same thing almost, but pressurizing the holding tank would be pump before vs pump after.

Actually, the US free speech laws are far more libertarian, ie. classical liberalism, not the "left-wing" liberalism of today. So really, you just proved the US is in fact right-wing.
I personally would use this as a second screen for viewing documentation and similar static things. Also 6" is a bit small for this, but also LaTeX previews would be handy.
One way to address this is to have roles filled by secondment. That way the same position (on the same team) re-opens for the parent when they return. Additionally, the person who fills the secondment (and is usually a more junior member of the company) gets an opportunity to train for a more senior role and usually ends up as a top choice when that team needs to hire.

In my experience teams are usually continually hiring, so the person on secondment can often go straight into a permanent role on the team when the parent returns.
Been done, Mate. Been done.
what was wrong with Midori? I wasn't on the team but I played around with it, and thought that the architecture was absolutely beautiful. It's a tragedy that it wasn't open-source. I understand that there wasn't much appetite towards "replacing Windows" when we were losing ground fast to mobile, but it's a loss to the academic community at least.
It would be good to explain what exactly is bogus. Otherwise a comment like this doesn't really say much more than "nuh uh".
Amazon Advertising: Automated Budget Management
Three big difference:

* Those cheap ESP32 boards are a massive pain to flash and do dev work on because they use cheap usb serial interfaces or omit them entirely. The CP2104 is much more reliable and the TinyPICO has properly implemented the DTS triggers to put the board into the right mode when you flash it.

* The pico uses a high performance micro antenna rather than a basic strip line so your wifi connection is also more reliable.

* The pico has a much better LDO and power supply - one of the biggest headaches with cheap ESP32 boards is power brownouts during wifi negotiation.

> Ricardo Duque says that this [men not taking Shared Parental Leave] might be partly a result of fathers simply not knowing their rights.

I've taken SPL twice, and while people not knowing about it might be a problem, the real issue is that it is insanely complicated. I have a PhD and still struggled to understand the forms you have to fill in. I imagine most people would just give up.

The article also doesn't consider that there are definitely genetic factors that make women more interested in babies. I have experienced none of the supposed shaming or career effects, but I still don't want to do paternity leave for more than a few months.
> copilot skirted that need by just analyzing the AST of code they host and using the nearby comments to identify what a section of code is meant to do.

Mine as well. At 41. I think this is down to a teacher who doesn't care about injuries.
Another level of obscurity in bioinformatics is comparing the algorithm to baseline only and sweeping the absolute numbers under the rug. I don’t really care if the new algorithm is better than the baseline if it’s still gives 90% false positives in a real world scenario.
Burning nitroglycerin does not make it explode.

Miners used to burn it in their headlamps when they found that it burns with a cleaner flame than the alternatives they had. This was obviously violently opposed to by the mine owners -- less so because of the explosion hazard, and more so because it's way more expensive than lamp oil.

That's the sensible way to do it.
If you’re gone for 6 months and everything functions just fine, are you really that important?

If you can leave your job in a state that means the next 6 months are problem-free then you are amazing. You've obviously planned ahead, documented things, and foreseen potential problems that you've mitigated ahead of time. Any company would be crazy to lose you.

If you leave your job in a state where the problems are fixable then you're pretty good. You haven't foreseen things or left good enough plans, and maybe there's issues with documentation and strategy, but things were in a good state that others can recover from. That's more than most companies ask for.

If you leave your job and everything falls apart then there are issues somewhere. You, or people you rely on, are basically winging it, and the company doesn't see that as a problem.
Mormonism: The Control Group for Christianity? (2012)
If that was the case, we wouldn't need psychologists, would we ?
Some of the locus of control is outside of ourself in origin. Those voices in our head keep chattering for the rest of our lives.

We can choose how we respond to them to a degree, but we can't turn them off.

To what degree can we choose? That's an interesting question, since the machine that's doing the choosing is comprised of 50% of one parent's DNA, and 50% of the other's.

But we feel like we make choices all the time, don't we?

Certainly, we consult ourselves, and ask ourselves what we want to do. Sometimes the answer comes to us, and that's what we choose.

But where does that answer that comes to us come from? And how does it get into our consciousness?

Do you want chocolate, or vanilla?

Did an answer come to you then?

Where did it come from? And why was it what it was, and not something else?
> If software weren't copyrightable, the GPL would have no power. But this is the outcome Stallman wanted! The GPL doesn't exist because copyright is good, it exists because software being copyrightable is what enables the concept of proprietary software in the first place.

This isn't really true when software is distributed in binary form - or, increasingly, run on servers and not distributed at all. The outcome Stallman wanted is that end users would have the ability to fix bugs, and add new features, in software they were using. If software is uncopyrightable then that removes one barrier, but not necessarily the most severe one; if you're relying on cloud software whose actual implementation kept as a trade secret (for example) then you still can't fix the problems that are disrupting your workflow.

> If Github's interpretation of copyright law holds, we can train a model on proprietary code and extract concepts without having to worry about being tainted. The proprietary code itself won't enter the commons, but the ideas it embodies will. No more worries about whether you're literally copying the code that implements an algorithm you want to duplicate - simply start typing and let the model remove the risk for you.

I think the closest analogy is to source code leaks like the famous Windows 2000 one. Would having such leaks be non-copyrightable help free software? I doubt it - even a deliberately released "code dump" is still difficult to learn much from, and even free-software projects have to put a lot of time and effort into documenting their code structure, having a contributor onboarding process and so on. The value of the GPL isn't that it forces people to make their raw code available - "hostile" (L)GPL code, like early WebKit or xlvns, has never made for successful projects - the value is that it creates an environment where people are actually cooperating on software development in a positive way. I think that's more likely to happen in a world where you can only use Copilot-like tools if your software is free than in a world where no such rule exists.
Wait, i thought the flag “-F” does not error when the file does not exist and will start tailing it when it does.

CPU goes up some, but not a ton. Like it's weird. It really just super heats my computer, fans go to max RPM, and burns battery like there's no tomorrow... but I don't see CPU usage off the charts -- it's using CPU more than Safari or Chrome would, but doesn't seem like CPU is maxed. It's like it just gives the instructions, "Heat up!" I don't know, like just grab a MBP and try a call. Happens on all of them I've tried it on. 2019 MBP 16" is my daily computer, and the one I have the most issues with. I had a 2017 (Maybe 2016? First model with butterfly switches) and it happened there too. Happens on the 13" MBP I got form work. Happens on my girlfriends MBP 13" with the M1 chip, but it's not nearly as much of an issue as the Intel Macs.
