>I linked the video to point out that Andy Ngo was present and party to the planning of, preparation for, and movement to a violent group assault.

You may not like his viewpoint, or his work, but he's a journalist. He's on the ground covering all kinds of protests and riots.

>It seems that you acknowledge his presence there.

Did you know that there were journalists who interviewed Osama Bin Laden, even after he took credit for bombings that took many American lives. Do you also consider them complicit?

>Ngo chose to omit the fact of his prior knowledge and movement to the location with the Patriot Prayer group from his own coverage of the incident.

Oh, well then, he deserves to be attacked, assaulted and harassed for that omission, right?

There are literally people who talk about killing him on Twitter.
SIMD is generally written by hand in assembly. Libjpegturbo or ffmpeg have a lot of handwritten SIMD for various platforms.

Sometimes you have to use compiler intrinsics to do parts of vectorization because of odd issues with the platform like differences in various chips.

Parallelization is a different matter, but you can combine the two.
Good question. Our tool falls into the category of third party data processors (in GDPR speak). That being said, we take data privacy pretty seriously, so aside from taking security measures and obtaining relevant certifications, we ensure users can revoke access to their data and even delete all their data if needed.

Our goal here is that users can trust their data is being handled correctly because we sit in the middle – much in the way Plaid handles personal financial data for specific applications and "sits in the middle." Although using something like Plaid introduces a potential for privacy issues, they likely can achieve a higher level of security and maintain data privacy better than a single application could.
I’d fix the Comcast problem before switching over to something that is pretty much guaranteed to have drop offs at this point in time.

There are also devices that will give you a cellular LTE backup like the U-LTE from UniFi. I’ve heard the plans are a bit pricey.

Cadence Cerebrus – ML-Assisted Chip Design
I have some experience with this. My first wife was diagnosed with schizophrenia after birthing a stillborn baby. This was about 14 month after we had our first child. One of her doctors insisted the cause was marijuana, but she really did smoke much at all. I did most everyday though and one of the first questions he asked was if we used it.

I told him I thought it was caused by losing the baby and he insisted that had nothing at all to do with it. I knew for sure he was wrong, but he refused to even consider it. But there was more to it than that.

Her grandmother was clearly schizophrenic, and her mother was probably was too. Just a few months before this her mother told me she "hated" our first child because "she looks like you" (it was me she was referring to).

This was in 1986. 15 years later, in 2001, a woman name Andrea Yates murdered her five children and that was when psychiatrist first diagnosed severe "Post Partum Depression" as the cause of what led her to do that.

During those years in between I had pointed out that connection many times to psychiatrists and everyone of them told me I was wrong and they all loved to make the point that I didn't have the credentials to offer a diagnoses of cause. But what I did have that none of them had was real life experience watching my wife slide into schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia is genetic and stress is a trigger. It often doesn't show up until one is an adult. By that time almost anyone will have taken a puff of weed and if a doctor asks them "have you ever used marijuana" and they say "yes", in my experience it doesn't matter how often, using it just once, even years prior, is enough for them to associate cause and effect.

Truth is you can learn something from anyone if you listen to them. If you don't, you won't. What I learned is psychiatry is still pretty much bullshit and the medical profession still doesn't understand the causes or how to treat schizophrenia effectively. They manage it by giving those suffering with it drugs that are akin to turning their patients into slobbering "zombies" so they can manage them.

You’re underestimating the amount of space in space (sorry, couldn’t resist). Volume increases exponentially as diameter increases.

I don’t think anyone would worry about 1800 or even 180000 things spread over the entire surface of the earth. We have billions of cars, and they mostly avoid running into each other. Even 100 miles up? Far, far more space - and a lot less ‘stuff’ to worry about too.

They could pack a million satellites up there and basic traffic management would be more than enough to avoid collisions.
I like the Computer Modern font when printed on paper.

On low DPI screens (e.g. 96 or even 144 DPI), Computer Modern feels too thin and spindly.

Recently, I came across the mlmodern (https://ctan.org/pkg/mlmodern?lang=en) font. It is a "heavier" version of Computer Modern and I use it for all my documents.
I remember a coworker made a very basic compass app with a friend in the early days of the iPhone and he disclosed that they made something like $200k on it, which is absolutely wild.
Yes totally, I thought "hey using a chatbot would be like texting an accountability friend or coach" but in reality that gimmick just doesn't work. Since tracking habits requires displaying data, a user interface with visual elements is more effective than a chat UI.

Yes. I "wasted" 2019 building a platform that my customers didn't need. Scare quotes because it wasn't really a waste; it taught me a lot about what not to do.

In 2020, realizing it was going nowhere, I started talking more with my target audience. Really talking and really listening. It turned out that most of them had a very specific pain point.

I thought about how to solve it. I could build another gigantic app. Or I could start as small as possible. I could write a tiny script that addressed that pain point, and do everything else by hand.

If I knew it would scale to x, I might have started with more. But I realized I'm bad at predicting what will take off, so I started as small as I could.

This year I'm getting close to $1K MRR. It's not much in the grand scheme of things, but coming from no business experience, it means a lot to me.

My biggest takeaway so far is, for those like me who don't have an incredibly clear vision, start as small as possible. Not "if you build it, they will come," but "when they come, you can build it."
The point is that it is indeed a criminally corrupt government that would enter your house without just probable cause. Concerning oneself with the implementation and maintenance of such principles of justice is wise even if you have “nothing to hide”. Pointing out that the government could barge through your door via heavily armed police or military is beside the point.

Is this a serious argument for long TTLs? Always wondered why they exist… How interesting.
I think it's the opposite. If you give up on plain text, you forfeit a gigantic number of existing tools (git, grep, editors with their plugins, sed, etc.) and have to redo all of them from scratch.

The big issues with making a new language in 2021 are more related to semantic tools, like a LSP server (in which parsing is just the first building block). Just like wiring a compiler is much more than just parsing.
Thats fine for loading tabs and assymetric traffic in general; I'm talking about typing into the servers I'm SSHed into. RTTs add up.
Ibthink if route53 was down. Your dns provider whouldn't able to go there. So it will go to the root who will give gcp one too. So your dns provider might try that.

The number itself as it pertains to cost of living isn't ridiculous, but the implied policy proposal of "let's give everyone $5000 so people in high CoL areas can cover their basic expenses!" is ridiculous. The #1 cause of high CoL in those areas is because it's a desirable place to live and there are more people who want to live there than there are housing units, so people bid up the price. Giving everyone $5000 wouldn't make it suddenly affordable, because everyone would just increase their bids by $5000, causing the situation to be the same.
You could say the same about credit cards and their grace periods, but plenty of people are able to use those without incurring fees.

This product doesn't even seem to have the risk of generating fees directly.
Most people don't.
I think you might want to ask yourself: why do you want this? Do you think it will benefit them somehow? How? Are you orienting around results you care about, or around results they care about?
Is it my imagination or has the quality of BBC's reporting diminished in recent years? Their BBC America news show appears to be operating on a shoestring these days, with commentary emanating from only a handful of reporters who are more often located at a second studio than a remote locale.

And stories on BBC's website are often shallow and mere echoes of reportage originating elsewhere -- too often arising unfiltered from sources promoting their product/research as "game-changing revolutionary advances", as Google is doing here.
I work from home on Starlink. My SSH sessions work just fine. When I first got the service, it was dropping quite a lot, but even then SSH worked pretty well. But these days, if there are any drops, I can't tell. The improvements in the last few months have been massive. I am even about to drop my land line, because WiFi calling on my cell phone has been nearly perfect. It works better than my cell phone does when I am in a good service area.
There is no free lunch:).

I remember spending a summer using Template Model Builder (TMB), which is a useful R/C++ automatic differentiation (AD) framework, for working with accelerated failure time models. For these models, the survival to time T given covariates X is defined by S(t|X) = P(T>t|X) = S_0(t exp(-beta^T X)) for baseline survival S_0(t). I wanted to use splines for the baseline survival and then use AD for gradients and random effects. Unfortunately, after implementing the splines in template C++, I found a web page entitled "Things you should NOT do in TMB" (https://github.com/kaskr/adcomp/wiki/Things-you-should-NOT-d...) - which included using if statements that are based on coefficients. In this case, the splines for S_0 depend on beta, which is this specific excluded case:(. An older framework (ADMB) did not have this constraint, but dissemination of code was more difficult. Finally, PyTorch did not have an implementation of B-splines or an implementation for Laplace's approximation. Returning to my opening comment, there is no free lunch.
From a client (DNS recursor) point of view there is no primary server. There is just multiple NS records which are equal. If one of them is down it can introduce resolving delays, but they are usually small. At least if something like Unbound or Bind is used. Unbound e. g. maintains infra-cache where it tracks RTT and errors for each server and avoid servers which are down.
The Taliban culled opium production in Afghanistan shortly before the US led invasion, after which production miraculously recovered and increased [1].

But sure, it's definitely "China", which has extreme cultural trauma around opiates (and zero tolerance policy toward them) and analogs since the Opium Wars devastated the entire country, that is the primary problem. No blame for the pharmaceutical companies and pill pushers who rely on Golden Crescent/Triangle opium exports!

No, the guy is actually correct. The vaccines have emergency use authorizations, not approvals. No credible health expert thinks there's anything wrong with the effectiveness or safety of the vaccines but it's still true that the FDA isn't willing to formally say that the vaccines are safe and effective which is causing a lot of problems even besides causing people to think there's something wrong with the vaccines, see

https://www.slowboring.com/p/vaccine-fda-approve

I've found the FDA's lackadaisical attitude towards vaccine approval pretty puzzling during the whole pandemic. Why couldn't they start analyzing the drug company's testing data even before trials completed? Why couldn't they find people to work full time on reviewing the drug approval applications once they were formally in? Moderna, Pfizer, etc were willing to spend extra money and modify procedures to speed up their data collection process so why wasn't the FDA willing to do the same to go over the data they collected more quickly?
This makes me wish there was a version of producthunt except where the culture was ok with brutally honest replies (rather than the forced encouragement on producthunt, which is nice and has its place too but you need to hear both voices).

You set both services in your ns records. So every day they share the load for dns resolution. If one day one of them is down the client can/will use a different nameserver from your configuration.

You seem to be conflating the far-right with white supremacy. There might be some overlap, but they are not synonymous.

Saying Ngo is "far-right"? Sure, I guess. Saying he's a "white supremacist" is a stretch.

This sounds like it's coming from someone who has 0 experience with weed and has been told their whole life that it's bad and only bad people do it for bad reasons. And judging by the "repentance" language, probably a religious aspect too.
Slightly OT: I built myself a journaling app that sends one email every day to remind me to write about that day; I respond to that email and the response gets stored in a db as an entry for that day.

The system doesn't try to be clever in any way, it just sends and receives emails; it's proven quite effective. It's been running for about two years now and there are only a couple of days missing, if that. It's very interesting to be able to go back to any day in the past and know what happened, or what I was thinking about, that exact day.

The system can also be set up to handle different journals at different intervals; it helped me write a novel last year.

I'm the only user and it lacks many features to be called an actual product; but sometimes I wonder if others would find it useful.
AFAIK it's accomplished by having two keys in the TPM. One is unique to the TPM, and the other is unique to the manufacturer/batch of TPMs.
I've posted on ProductHunt as well and so many of the upvotes I get and comments that I get are clearly spambots.
I honestly can't see how this would work in practice... It quickly falls into a "who will watch the watchers" kind of situation...

I'm trying to picture how it would work in practice. Say that there are two news organizations, one wildly pro-Trump, one Wildly anti-Trump. It's already clear that they are both biased and ignoring a lot of information. But wouldn't one group still be closer to the truth? How would anyone know which one?
I mean, if we want to ignore the additives and difference in typical consumption then sure they are just as bad.

I think you'd get a similar reaction if you said "bikes and motorcycles both have two wheels, thus riding one has all the same risks and dangers as the other". Obviously you'd be right, you can split your skull on either, but you don't go 70+MPH on both.

The cheapest way to generate power on cloudy winter days is wind power, not overbuilt solar. Though, yes, overbuilding wind and solar is generally more cost effective than most other alternatives and the overbuilt wind and solar will both contribute power even when not working at their seasonal peak and provide abundant cheap power for storage when overproducing near their peaks.

I had assumed we were both taking that as the baseline alternative, since every country in the world is basically building that out right now, hence my suggestion that demand response would be a better choice than any plausible nuclear option to cover any gaps in that provision due to unseasonal weather which is both less windy and more cloudy than predicted.

But we appear to be starting from radically different assumptions about what power grids will look like (and already look like today)
Starlink isn't driving the telecoms to install wireless. The telecoms were already planning this before Starlink.

T-Mobile Home Internet is already available to 30M households in the US (out of around 130M households so around 20-25% of US households). T-Mobile is looking to have 7-8M subscribers within the next 5 years which would make them the 4th largest ISP (behind Xfinity, Spectrum, and AT&T). Verizon is looking to cover 50M households by the end of 2024 which is years away, but shows that 5G home internet is coming.

Wired home internet companies aren't avoiding installing a wireless link at the end of their fiber out of spite. It's a combination of who has wireless spectrum and the technology/capacity available. If you're talking about Xfinity or Spectrum, they don't have the wireless spectrum to offer that. If you're talking about Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile, they're working on it, but it takes time for the technology and spectrum to be there to provide the capacity people expect for a home internet connection. The recently concluded C-Band auction means that wireless carriers are going to have more spectrum available to provide more capacity (and they spent nearly $100B getting it). 5G NR provides more speed and capacity.

If it was just out of spite, Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile would have been offering wireless home internet for years in areas where they had no wired network. They weren't getting the money in places where they didn't own the local telco (which for T-Mobile is everywhere and for Verizon/AT&T is most places). Even when they owned the local telco, most people would be buying cable internet.

The problem is that home internet isn't easy. A wireless customer probably uses 10GB of data on average. Streaming HD Netflix is 2-3GB per hour. Home internet usage is usually an order of magnitude higher (and can be even higher than that). Basically, you need to increase your network capacity by at least 10x if you're going to be signing up home internet customers. With new technologies and spectrum, that's what wireless carriers are doing over the next 1-5 years.

I think that terrestrial wireless will be big in the future, but it's not because of Starlink putting pressure on telecoms. It's because their networks are going to be seeing massive capacity upgrades over the next few years that will enable it. Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile would have loved to offer wireless home internet years ago, but the technology and capacity simply wasn't there. I mean, they did offer home internet years ago, but it often cost hundreds of dollars a month and was only available in really rural areas (not just places that might hate 20Mbps service). But new tech and capacity gains are allowing them to offer new service. T-Mobile is first out of the gate because it got new spectrum earlier, but Verizon and AT&T will be following in the coming years.
I don’t think not telling them was even close to lying. If you can imagine going a little hard at the gym and feeling it the next day. Then telling your colleagues how hard you worked out. And then your colleagues takeaway is exercise must be dangerous since it hurts.

Just my opinions:

"You" are the mind/conscious self, a separate construct in the physical brain.

The thoughts are coming from the brain, which is constantly doing rather massive amounts of processing on acquired data, old and new.

You don't have full control of the brain, not by a long shot.

You can make a decision and it can be ignored even as you think it's "gone through". Hence, the eternal struggle with "self-control" and "willpower".
That's a possibility in theory; I haven't root-caused this to know what's happening in every case (again: not every drop is the same). Regardless, I'm just talking about what the average end-user might see; I don't really care where the blame goes.
Obscure? Isn't this the drug that ISIL feeds its "soldiers"?
Ripgrep isn't really a rewrite of grep. It's a competing product that tries to do a better job of serving use cases that people commonly use grep for.
I humbly agree unless, of course, there is no other solution, e.g. lack of compilers on your platform.
Do you have any evidence that it is "too inefficient"? Because you keep asserting it and I just don't believe you.
