While I don't currently need such a tool at work, I just want to chime in to agree with the approval point. It's significantly less hassle to get an expensive one time purchase approved than a €5 recurring payment. I very much appreciate your openness in that regard and I'll keep it in mind for the future :-)
tbh, I think adults suffer from the same thing, maybe to a lesser extent.
> An enduring popular myth suggests that in the 1970s the climate science community was predicting “global cooling” and an “imminent” ice age, an observation frequently used by those who would undermine what climate scientists say today about the prospect of global warming. A review of the literature suggests that, on the contrary, greenhouse warming even then dominated scientists' thinking as being one of the most important forces shaping Earth's climate on human time scales

I don't think it's related to making up the difference or not.

GF won't have much if anything that helps them in that regard, so I think it mostly means that Intel thinks they can use more capacity of their own, even for not top-end process.
How is it finite? Integers are infinite.

It's Countable Choice, and of course the essence of Countability (why it's our favorite cardinality) is that almost all of our intuition about finite numbers can be correctly applied to countable infinities.

Uncountable Choice (a set for every Real number, a choice from every set) is where thing ago off the rails and ZF looks substantially different from ZFC.
At least TSMC has finally agreed to build a cutting-edge 5nm fab in the US. And more recently this has been increased to 100k wafers per month, so the capacity is much larger than originally planned - TSMC has 120k wafer/month at their plant in Taiwan (Fab 18) so this will almost double the current capacity (although TSMC is building more capacity in Taiwan as well so this probably will work out closer to a 1/3 split of capacity once it's operational).

https://electronics360.globalspec.com/article/16465/report-t...

This has always been national-security leverage for Taiwan - if China ever attacked, Taiwan would make sure TSMC was destroyed and utterly cripple worldwide chipmaking. Like if you think the current shortages are bad imagine the only cutting-edge fab in the world disappearing overnight. That leverage only works if all of TSMC's facilities are in Taiwan so the idea that they would ever agree to build one anywhere else was absolutely unthinkable even a year ago.

The US must be playing some serious hardball given the shortages that have sprung up this year and it looks like they're getting results. First it was a little fab for national-security stuff and it's morphed into the US getting a gigafab.

On top of that Japan is getting a TSMC specialty fab - not power stuff, but it'll do CMOS sensors for cameras and automotive/embedded type stuff, and the EU is negotiating for a cutting-edge fab of their own. It's a huge sea change in the last year.
Not being a politician won't save you from being dismissed as having a political agenda. Again, we've seen this all over the pandemic.
> when I worked for a boss who was so smart, I simply couldn't keep up

Omg yes, the feeling when you realize (or believe) its kinda your own fault you aren't in their place. This definitly also triggered a Impostor-Syndrom for me back when i found me in this situation.

Today i realize that being the best is not actually something i thrive for.
That's probably MediaTek, not at all to be confused from the Lavian router vendor MikroTik.

I'm somewhat confused by this emphasis on CPU vulnerabilities. The browsers we run are now ten, twenty million lines of code, and those lines of code are very close to most people's payload. If you want to attack someone, the payload you're looking for is quite likely to be readable for the browser and other apps. It seems much easier to get something into the code of an app the user runs by exploiting some code in maven/npn/rubygems/… than via the CPU.
Do you think people who deny climate change trust scientists more than politicians?

I have no words for "triggers" and "maintainable" in the same sentence - enjoy your deadlocks and having no clue why a single write says "UPDATED x records" y times without having to dig down through an ancient UI.

I am actually "good" at this stuff - writing logic in SQL through triggers, which call functions (at which SQL Server is way better than PG is) and stored procs, etc, and it's just a horrible, horrible practice.
I had an experience with this (on a much smaller scale. No police were involved).

When I was about 13 or so, I was walking home with a kid from school and he threw a rock at a passing car. He ran off and left me to deal with the driver. I explained that it was this other kid.

I called the kid later to let him know that I ratted him out and apologized, but I didn't want to be on the hook for it.

The driver, my parents, and the parents of the kid who threw the rock all met with us. Talked through the details, and somewhere in there they mentioned that I had called this kid to apologize, and I said that yeah, I had called him.

It wasn't until after everyone left with the agreement that I was guilty and would pay the damage that my dad told me that I had agreed that I called this kid and apologized for lying about him throwing the rock.

I was totally blindsided by that interpretation. I didn't understand that anyone had even suggested that I might have lied in that situation. It never crossed my mind, I thought I was just saying that I called him. There's nuance and implications in adult conversation that never crosses the mind of a kid.
I'm reading a very short & cryptic book "Three Uses of the Knife" by David Mamet, the playwright and director. It's about the basis of great art. You've hit on something here that resonates with all of us.

"The Hero's Journey" involves the hero in Act I embarking on a quest. In Act II unforeseen difficulties beset him, maybe he doubts himself, the quest changes, and HE changes. In Act III, he completes the maybe-different task, as a changed person.

So this guy enacted some of that journey, and I admire him so much for it.
I thought so too. That's hypothesis #2 of more in the video.
Cops already let a ton of rapists go free as it is, including themselves. I don't expect a change.

Yes. When I used cannabis I would be insensitive and make stupid mistakes. When I was withdrawing from it it would make my head hurt to listen to people. Neither was good for my character.
The whole point of a jury trial is for the jury to decide what they believe are the facts from the evidence, testimony, and arguments provided by the lawyers on both sides. You are essentially proposing that we kneecap juries by taking the power of fact-finding away from them and handing it to another authority. That would undermine the check on government overreach juries are meant to provide.
And that is the problem with 20 year (30 year?) product lifecycles. A lot can change in 20 years. For example the ability to service it might now be feasible. But since it’s almost entirely built, good luck making it serviceable!
Nope. Like I said, I don't know if it would increase belief in any major capacity. I'm just saying it's a bad look and, in my opinion, was a bad choice for trying to convince people in principle.

If I had to make a movie about Climate Change, out of principle, I wouldn't choose a politician and I would choose someone with a scientific degree. That's what I'm saying.

If your goal is to redeem people instead of punish them, it's terrible. We want people to give up hate and rejoin society.

Form factor is completely irrelevant since Steam Deck is advertised as a computer and not a console. Which is how I would use it; plug it into a monitor and use it as a desktop PC with keyboard and mouse. That's why I asked what does it offer that my laptop already doesn't in the context of playing games. If this is hard for you to comprehend then you shouldn't reply with destructive comments. I found a video on YouTube explaining technical specifications and comparing the CPU and GPU to their desktop equivalents, so my initial question has been answered.
that is what I thought when I read the three-body problem.

If you can manipulate space-time at the levels exposed in the book you can trivially build orbitals that will host trillions of beings and live in a post-scarcity society for millennia, after which your society is likely to disappear waaay before you run out of space and resources.
My takeaway from this if you've ever done or said something bad in the past, bury it. Don't ever bring it up again. Don't confess to it, don't talk about how you've changed, just bury it. Your past is an empty black hole, because otherwise it seems, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. This guy should be applauded for recognizing his own hatred, and how he's changed and left that hate behind. Instead, he loses his job.

I think it is terrible for society in the long term. We can post anonymously for now, but that may become much more difficult in the future.

We need to encourage a society that takes words into context, and assumes good faith instead of imagining the worst possible interpretation of everything. Similarly, we need to encourage people changing their views. Casting out anyone who said something bad, ever, independent of any character growth or changes of opinion as one becomes more knowledgeable, is going to lead to people continuing to hold horrible views... just in private.

Right now there is zero incentive to publicly apologize about anything or change one's opinion because people don't care about that, they just want punitive actions taken regardless of any changes afterwards. That doesn't really help address the underlying issues of racism, -isms, etc, at all....

My first thought was "It's going to ease in several months, oh, that's good." But then I realized 'easing' doesn't mean the prices are going to come back down. It just means the rate of inflation is going to hopefully slow down. But we're still stuck with the impact.
Answering my own question (partially): some Apple II emulators seem to have that functionality built-in, for instance VirtualII that has "Epson FX-80 and Imagewriter II emulation". Now I wonder what emulator they are using with WASM. They are essentially loading a file called "cyanide.wasm" but I could not find an emulator with that name.
Huh, that does make sense to me.
So to simplify basically the algorithm I wrote above is bad because it's in spirit equivalent to this:

> Heck, in many cases, you may even need to disable throttling in the BIOS, which is doubly disappointing because a desktop BIOS definitely doesn't need settings that work on laptops and mobile.

For real. My code has been stable for 4 years too. Not changing the API is a huge, normally overlooked feature to products.
Yeah, I've suffered from imposter syndrome affected by cannabis for some time. However, eventually I succeeded at doing a bunch of stuff and now feel confident in my abilities, even when I vape. Honestly the only way I've been able to survive the work world so long is cannabis.

I have never heard of an employer detaching a noncompete from the terms of employment, much less offering anything like $100k as a carrot. If some employers do this, then cool, but I don’t find a lot of merit in arguing about whether it’s OK to do something that almost nobody does.

Many many employers attach noncompetes to the terms of employment, won’t modify them for anyone and have the leverage to make even developers sign it (the job market’s good, but it’s not that good). That’s a bad state of affairs, and it really seems like employers won’t drop this unless compelled to, we aren’t going to be able to negotiate them into the deal you’re describing.
But my employer does everything. There is no field that my employer is not involved in, somehow. You can guess who they are, probably, or just read my profile. And they say "You cannot do anything that competes with anything we do". Which is everything. Want to make a Sudoku app? That's a game, we do games. Want to do some open source ML library work? We do ML, you can't do ML outside of work (I asked legal that one). And that's ignoring the who-knows-how-many secret un-released projects that might relate.

I'm in a US state that allows non-competes. I recently turned down a job because I wasn't comfortable with the non-compete I was compelled to sign expressly because the company's opinion of its own market was so broad. They implored me to trust that they had "never sued anyone" and "have no intentions to", and I think they honestly believe that. But then why have the non-compete at all?

And even if they are true to their word, what happens when they sell the company to someone else that exploits the leverage the non-compete provides?

A friend of mine was sued by their ex-employer over the violation of a non-compete. He lawyered up and fought it. And he won! But it was a Pyrrhic victory that resulted in a significant expensive of time (the judge granted an injunction that forced him out of business until the case was resolved - which was around 18 months) and money (he was granted no financial judgement). I am convinced the plaintiff's lawyer knew they'd lose, but to the suing party the process was punishment and that became their goal.

His should be a cautionary tale - even if you're advised that the non-compete isn't enforceable, it can still hurt you.
I've also heard that Europeans really like their unions, while Americans tend not to. I'm of the impression that European unions are structured differently and they tend not to have the same sorts of problems. That said, European companies also don't strike me as particularly productive relative to American companies; though I'm sure that's not down to unions alone, productivity isn't everything, etc.

Why not build a Ncase M1 form factor gaming PC (or other mini-itx), download steam on Mac and PC, and use Steam’s local streaming to play on Mac while being powered by the PC?

Alternatively, gaming laptop. I’m missing the use case of the Steam Deck except in the event of a budget crunch, since you can get ultraportable 14” gaming laptops that have good oompf - examples being the Asus G14 and the Razer Blade 14.
heres a couple:

- it was really un-intuitive to me to edit my starting investments/position. The little cal icon top of the left sidebar was not where i was looking for that. Suggestion: add starting conditions it as a collapsed column furthest to the left in the stacks under the main graphs. thats where i expected it to be, along side the other personal detail stacks

- adding a house mortgage and having it default to trying to pay it off as fast as possible seems wrong, few people would do that, makes more sense at low interest rates to do the regular 30yr

- its easy to accidentally do something that doesnt make sense that has big consequences... eg i was playing around quite awhile before i realized i had my living expenses marked as $X,000 per year instead of per month. I wonder if you could come up with a nice way to warn people when things are significantly outside "normal". eg "hey looks like your living expenses of $200/mo are unrealistic, did you mean this? y/n" dismissable, but might help people into correcting the bigger mistakes
You are less insensitive now? I would not describe myself as sensitive, but i always assumed that's just me
Platonists think you can define them wrong if you're careless.

Imagine having a spreadsheet with the population of each country. I can go and enter 1 billion for the US, and the spreadsheet will happily recalculate all the cells about, say, GDP per capita etc. based on my incorrectly modified input. Clearly just because I've set the US population value in my spreadsheet to 1 billion the actual population did not change. There is a real population count and if we don't use the correct one then all our output will be garbage too: garbage in, garbage out.

Mathematics is like this spreadsheet, its input are the axioms and the outputs are various interesting theorems. Feed in wrong axioms and you get wrong theorems.

Platonists believe in a realm of ideas, that math talks about something real, just like the spreadsheet talks about real human populations. Even though within the spreadsheet everything remains fine and consistent if I tweak the US population. It just doesn't correspond any more to reality.

I myself am not a mathematical Platonist, I more of an engineer/practical person and see math as a survival tool of a bunch of primates on a rock floating in space, not something that taps into anything mystical.

But the Platonist worldview also seems coherent.

That's all fine if you want a 100% processed food diet. Some of us want to eat less-processed food than that, and save the "treat" foods for treat times.

In Toronto there is a decades-long established vegan restaurant called Buddha's Vegetarian Restaurant. They make a lot of mock meat products that are as realistic as the Impossible Burger, by layering and preparing things in such a way that they end up resembling meat fiber. You can easily fool yourself into thinking you are eating pulled pork there, for example.

So realistic vegetarian/vegan meat products have actually been around quite a while. Just not in the mainstream.

If paying bribes is already a felony, can you help me understand how "outlaw non-traceable payment methods like Bitcoins" would help?

Seems like you sweep up a lot of innocent consumers who just want to use bitcoin, and if paying bribes is already illegal I'm not sure what additional incentive this adds.

I guess my point in this post and prior was: paying the bribe is the problem, not the medium they wish to use to transact.
No, not if you sell it through an appropriate vendor that acts on behalf of the FBI/NSA/CIA (assuming you're US based).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_for_zero-day_exploits

Selling exploits use to be way more common prior to 2010. Previously many companies wouldn't pay for bug fixes and would periodically sue developers for disclosing issues.

There eventually became a large movement within the cyber security groups about no longer giving bugs away for free and demanding fair market value for exploits (imagine the NSA paying $100k for a zero-day, versus the company giving you $500):

https://threatpost.com/no-more-free-bugs-software-vendors-03...

Nowadays the highly sought out targets like Android or iOS have premiums for zero-days (upwards to $1mil), in-fact it wasn't until Google started paying more for exploits was when Android security started getting better. But if some companies aren't willing to pay fair market value for their exploits, why should it matter if you sell it to someone else?

Like the word "free" in free software (freedom vs. free of cost), many folks misunderstand the usage of the word "stable" in regards to computers and technology.

For the uninitiated; In programming, "stable" often refers to the programming interface or features a software developer can count on being available for a particular version of a given piece of code (library, server, etc). To the end user, "stable" often is taken to mean "How often does it crash? Rarely or never? It's stable."
