Matrix multiplication and sorting are at polar opposite ends of the spectrum from, on one side, utterly independent of input (except gross size) to utterly dependent on details of input. Optimizations that help one case tend to hurt the other, but we unfairly expect our computers to be good at both. What we get is extremely complex implementations whose performance on any particular problem is unpredictable.

> However, Tesla was founded in 2003, 18 years ago. It’s an enormous company with over 70,000 employees, making ~$10 billion in revenue every quarter, and it’s even part of the S&P 500. It’s not a “startup” anymore. It doesn’t get to use that excuse when it does stupid stuff like this. It needs to grow up and stop lying to its customers. And we’re getting tired of having to say this.

Mutation breeding, mutagenesis, or Atomic Gardening. You take a radiation source, grow plants around it, and breed the ones with interesting mutations. Ruby Red Grapefruit was bred this way exposing either the plants or seeds to radiation from a Cobalt-60 source. I believe there was also a process that involved exposure to chemicals that would cause DNA damage and induce mutations as well, but I don't know how successful it was.

For the desktop experience, or listening to music, that logic works well. But the network effect (winning the "popularity contest") is crucial for services that are much more network-dependent, i.e. what's being described in the article, or even hackernews (if there were only 100 people on this site we'd have much lower quality links/discussions)
A study in the UK found that heating with electricity has lower carbon emissions than heating with natural gas:

> the average efficiency of gas heating rose slowly to 86% over the last decade, so that carbon emissions from producing 1 kWh of central heating [using natural gas] fell to 215 grams of CO2 in 2019. However, simple [resistance] electric heaters averaged only 207 grams of carbon dioxide per kWh by the end of 2019

https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Carbon_emissions_o...

For new buildings the effect is probably even greater, as you are probably going to choose a heat pump (2-5kW heat output for 1kW electrical input) over resistance heating.

The US averages around 400g CO2 per kWh, so yes maybe resistance heating doesn't make sense, but heat pumps for sure do.

Agreed. I wonder if there just isn't enough funding and developer interest to follow through on the ambitious goals of Wayland in a more reasonable time frame because of the maturity and increasing Unixyness of macOS and Windows.

Personally, I can't wait for the transition to finally end and for the Wayland ecosystem to achieve similar levels of maturity to X11. I've been donating to marcan's Patreon since the M1 was announced, and now that I own an M1 I intend to switch (back) to Linux when and if it becomes clear that everything will work smoothly (in terms of both hardware support and desktop Linux/Wayland in general).

I’m actually asking a slightly different question:

How do I run a tool like this on my idevice itself?

As mobile malware becomes more prolific, is the paradigm we want to set to find it really you make a back up and run a tool on it on your PC?

That UX won’t work for 90% of mobile users
You know it might be nice if rents were to fall and existing companies could just spread out a little. The amount of space that an office worker gets has fallen so much in the last 20 years. The article gives Twitter as an example of high density but I know first-hand that Twitter packs them in much less than Google SF. Maybe people can have some dignity for a change.

I wish this attitude was more prevalent. The most dangerous thing we can do is turn a non-partisan issue into a partisan one. As soon as it becomes about right vs. left, you have an army of people on Twitter, etc. who are ready to mindlessly shill a viewpoint, not because they know anything about it, but because it aligns with their political identity.
Chinese here, to be honest, I don’t think there are communities with an atmosphere like hn and reddit in China, including v2ex.com, zhihu.com mentioned in other replies.

I like hn, and many subreddits, but at the same time I also have language problems, So I created https://www.buzzing.cc , which collected many popular discussions in English communities, then translate all titles in Chinese and Japanese, approximately 3000 users visit per day.

For safety gas needs to be shut off during many emergencies. Solar panels and battery backups are probably better as they are less dangerous and less prone to common-mode failures than gas. As you mention, a woodpile is also a nice low-tech and low-risk backup.

The infrared filters do not help if a plain old, non-infrared bright LED that blinks is used. The IR filters are engaged physically, it takes a bit under a second, but not a lot under a second. With a bright blinking LED, many security cameras are rendered useless because the physical mechanisms compensating for the bright, or lack of, is always too late.

Electric coil ranges are awful, yes - but have you tried a good induction range?

And electric ovens completely beat gas ovens.

My house came with some fancy-pants 48-inch gas oven+range unit from an Italian company whose name I can't pronounce - the cool (er... hot!) and unusual range-top features are nice and it is a good gas range, no-doubt, but the gas oven just lacks all the neat mod-cons and features you can only get with an electric oven, like better temperature regulation, self-cleaning, etc... While my friends and associates with induction ranges (especially the ones you don't see sold in Best Buy) won't stop talking about how great they are while I'm dealing with another stovetop flame-out, aieee.
I like your comment and think it could potentially approach the broader problem in a roundabout way, but it does feel like a separate thing. But ignoring that, I run a forum and so think a lot about ways of encouraging decent conversation. I think Reddit mostly does pretty well in that (in my experience) the junk is hidden and requires effort to read. Hacker News pushes it down the page, but it's trivial to scroll down and see who's in the naughty corner out of curiosity.

I mostly read r/NBA and find the quality very decent. I'm sure there are trolls and racist rants and so on, but unless I expand comment branches, I don't see any of them. I find that the branches being pruned/hidden helps manage how much time I spend on a discussion too. On HN, I often feel like I want to read or skim every comment in a discussion which is rarely a great use of time.
What is simple is a lot of people can tell they're being lied to by people driven more by belief than reason (i.e. people like you and those who "understand", I'm disgusted by your attitude)

It is very easy to generate an opposition movement by turning a reason-driven effort into moral drum beating nonsense.

"Trust the science, and by the way, 'the science' won't ever publish real evidence that contradicts its beliefs" is why you get deniers that have very legitimate reasons to doubt people who tell them what's real and what isn't.
This is very insightful. I've seen too many employees in big tech continue to shill their products and services because it helps their CEO or it helps their immediate team -- without thinking about who is being hurt (e.g. end users consuming snake oil) or how the product can be weaponized against the people it is supposed to be helping. This is as true for small startups as it is for companies with millions of end users.
"Without systems that promote quality, non-ideological, nuanced, original, tolerant dialogue we will keep running into the false dilemma of unmoderated cess pools or heavy handed moderation." - it is impossible to measure the qualifiers "quality", "nuanced", "tolerant", "original", "non-ideological" while still being objective. Thus, whatever implementation for enforcing these qualifiers you choose, it will inevitably lean towards some ideology. Hence, contradiction.
How long do you think the principled people will still be working on the project?
Something seems to be fundamentally wrong with an economy where we think that we need people to work in jobs that are paid so little that these people can't make a living. and it's viewed as a problem to raise their incomes.

This while at the same time some people are becoming very rich and the country considers itself very wealthy.
Of course business decisions have moral consequences. Does this imply that all business leaders are arbiters of morality, or is it only Zuckerberg--who is just making business decisions like the rest--who is an arbiter of morality?

The answer is, he's not. He's just a greedy person with a powerful company. There are no real moral decisions to be found here, hyperbole notwithstanding.

Because in many cases, it is. Unfortunately, there isn't as much communication between the GUI people and the kernel people in the Linux community as there is between those same groups at Apple Inc. Not to mention, there are multiple competing groups of GUI people in the Linux community making coordination across these levels difficult. Also, there are many competing interests working on the kernel who might oppose kernel-level optimizations which favor desktop usage at the cost of, for example, server usage. As a result of these and many other factors, Linux's desktop UX remains far less optimized when compared to macOS's desktop UX.

As with most of Linux's rough edges, however, this is trivially fixable if you're technical enough. Of course, that's exactly macOS's advantage. If you want the best experience on macOS, you don't need to be technical.

Personally, I run Linux with a tiling window manager and lots of custom keybindings and little scripts. Having used the default macOS experience a few times at work (on machines far more powerful than my dinky laptop), I can assure you that my highly customized setup feels far more responsive. On the flip side, it required a lot of up-front investment to get it to this point.

No, since you are forgetting to take into account the probability of an outcome/risk analysis.

The probability of the local police being used against your city is so low, that the benefits are deemed to outweigh the risks. On the other hand, imagine software that lets you spy on all your employees' personal opinions, being sold as a way to "help strengthen culture-fit". That is something where the negatives may vastly outweigh the positives.

If yellow journalism can stampede a nation into war (e.g. "Remember the Maine") through presenting a slanted view of the situation, well, Facebook and however it chooses to editorialize what it allows to be presented to its users has a vastly bigger audience than the newspapers of old. There's nothing "absurd" about that.
> To see that idea with a self survey is kinda hilarious

It wasn't a self survey.

> This left us with a final sample of 84 dyads, randomly assigned to either the Scarcity (n=42) or Control (n=42) conditions. Dyads across conditions did not differ in age, child or caregiver sex, caregiver education, or family income

> The caregiver and child were seated across from one another at a table. The child completed an unrelated experiment with the researcher, while the caregiver completed the Scarcity or Control manipulation survey on a tablet. When the caregiver had finished, the researcher left the room under the guise of loading a second survey onto the iPad, leaving the caregiver and child alone with a toy the experimenter happened to offer as she left. A video camera and/or tape recorder recorded their interactions.
Video chat is one of the areas contact centers are looking to expand into in a lot of industries, so it makes a certain amount of sense. Lifesize and Serenova merging last year and 8x8 acquiring Jitsi in 2018 are in the same vein.
> Preventing people from using a device they get second-hand

The word "get" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Activation lock does NOT block the second-hand trade of non-stolen devices. It blocks the illegal second-hand trade of stolen devices.

You are essentially advocating in favour of crime.

Based on your logic, you should be demanding that vehicle immobilisers and anti-theft devices are also anti-features. We wouldn't want car thieves (ahem, sorry, "second-hand owners") to be inconvenienced either. Once your car is stolen (ahem, sorry, "sold"), anything which impedes the free use by the new "owner" is ecological vandalism.

While you're at it, perhaps we should require all security safes to be openable with a paperclip, just in case you lose your keys. Otherwise people will keep buying new safes.

I am on a OnePlus 5 via AT&T Red Pocket (mvno). The minimum supported OnePlus next year is the 6t.

https://www.xda-developers.com/will-my-phone-work-on-att-aft...

Specifically, I'm using the Red Pocket "essentials" plan that I bought on eBay for $100 (1 year of service, unlimited texting, 1000 minutes, 1gb data per month).

Red Pocket didn't know anything about the XDA article, and forwarded it to a higher tier.

I think that I would have the option of switching my account to a T-Mobile Sim card, but I bought a pixel 3a xl, and loaded lineage sans gapps. I think Verizon becomes an option with this device.

It doesn't like my home WiFi, so I'm upgrading to Gargoyle. This is going to be a project.

There are a lot of Pixels going out of support that will be cheap, and perfect for Lineage. Don't try to replace the battery (usually wrecks the display). The problem with old Pixels is that you won't get the Qualcomm updates.

On AT&T's conversion day, mvno customers will switch in great numbers.
Induction is completely fine. I had a gas stove for the first time with the house I have now and I just don't see what the fuss is about. Also, my wife set her clothes on fire cooking, something that literally could not happen with an induction stove.
We do this here in the US too. Grey market cars that are imported and don't meet US emissions get crushed. People caught street racing have had their cars impounded and crushed. It's just to make a show.
Good write up, thank you. Would it be presumptuous to rewrite the phrase? "It's always DNS or caching"
I mean... who thinks in individual characters? I would assume it would type the words our correctly based on what I'm thinking.

But to your point, would the system understand thought?

Knowing the difference between:

requires a lot of knowledge/intent if indeed you can't think in terms of individual characters.
>Alternatively you can always use

No I can't. The IM platform is decided for me already so I can not pick something else. And the company will pick the platform with the most features / integrations which is currently Teams.

MacOS drawing a line in the RAM sand at 16GB with most on 8GB will likely encourage programs to be more efficient rather than be a burden to the user. As we have seen with mobile platforms, programs will use as much resources as they are allowed to. Adding more resources does not fix the problem unless the programs are already quite efficient.
If you are designing a sorting algorithm component for production, it is critical to take into account all the blips and wrinkles that real components will face.

But when you are investigating how and why your CPU has the performance characteristics it has evolved, all those complications directly interfere with learning. The goal here was not to make a production-grade sorting tool; it was to understand what affects performance, using the sorting problem as a microscope.

The method is generally useful. Some years back I spent months refining a one-page program[1] to generate a list of word puzzles. After the first day, the list of puzzles was of no interest, but refining the means to produce it faster taught me a great deal.

Assuming you now live in PA (matches the 10% concealed stat you gave[0]), there's a much higher death rate by gun than CA[1].

The consensus is that guns reduce safety in communities[2].

I agree gas stoves are so much better. I had always had electric until I moved into my current home that has a gas stove. It heats the pan so much faster. I love cooking on it.

>Apple then told the Suffolk County prosecutor "that the video evidence of the impostor, which would have completely exculpated Ousmane Bah, had been routinely deleted."

Why would anyone routinely delete evidence of crime instead of making a copy of it before it was deleted? What's the point of having surveillance equipment and footage if it's just routinely deleted even if there was a theft?

>The video from an October 2018 theft misattributed to Bah in Rockaway, New Jersey, was also deleted.

Oh wow, again?

>And as it turned out, the video of the Boston incident turned up eventually – Bah's attorneys found it during the discovery process. It showed the impostor, not Bah.

They should open a criminal investigation into what happened with the video. Intentionally accusing someone they know to be innocent, taking their time and freedom is completely inexcusable.
One reason to start with stuff like gas stoves is that, frankly, the disruption isn't that big. You'd get used to a new stove pretty quickly.
You don't. You simply need to add additional venting area if it's in a smaller space. Check the manuals for them, not the poorly written articles. ;)

Many places (and just about everywhere without a basement or attached garage) have water heaters closed up in tight spaces. A heat pump heater won't work there, but if you add some vents to the door so it can exchange air with the rest of the house, they're just fine. Or, depending on where you live, you might consider venting it to the attic - if you have an attic that runs hot, "extracting heat directly from it into the hot water and then cooling the attic" is a good use of time.
I wonder how could they justified this action under the law. The crime is stealing the electricity. The mining machines are just the assets and it's not an illegal item, It's just a bunch of computers. I guess I can't trust Malaysian law system.
> You can't successfully ban X and replace it with Y if Y does not have feature parity with X

You certainly can. For example early cars couldn't go every place where horses could. And only recently cars started to become autonomous which horses could do since forever (my great-grandpa supposedly had a horse that drove itself back to home while grandpa was sleeping on the cart).

And of course horse produces manure which is useful in farming. Cars still lack that feature :)
And a high portion of the cohort of that study were people that read academic papers as an occupation. I'm not saying that the study couldn't generalize to lay people, just that you haven't presented evidence of it

(I believe one of the early controversies that sparked the reproducability crisis was the discovery that an excess of studies were using college students as their participants, skewing their results)
Install VMM like Proxmox or use LVM/ZFS/btrfs?
Depending on what you're coming from, it could just be you haven't been using modern hardware. I agree some is faster than others. I notice a difference going from my Ryzen 5900x to my i9 11900K. Typing and everything is definitely smoother on my latter machine. Part of it is just software advantages. Apple designed the compiler and built the system for the M1. On Windows and Linux, Intel has a boatload of engineers working on their behalf.

The single core performance of my 11900K is really hard to beat at 5.3GHz, and with 7 of 8 cores hitting that frequency simultaneously (which it hits all the time in desktop use) it's just buttery smooth. My guess is that you just came from an older system. The advances in CPUs (along with good compiler programmers working on that architecture's behalf) in my experience are larger than reviews and colloquial recommendations would suggest.
