Weird, I thought i deleted this comment. I deleted it because I took the time to read the article mentioned above a bit closer. I believe it was arguing that gift-based economies were the origin of debt based economies (aka money) instead of money originating from bartering.

Stupidly I had misunderstood what was being written, and then I attacked that imagined position by making the same argument as they were actually making :facepalm:

> this is commonly attributed to the fact that human babies have immature brains that cannot mature due to birth canal constraints, which is constrained by pelvis size which is constrained by the need to walk upright

Interestingly, the EGG hypothesis postulates that the constraining factor is not pelvis size, but rather that neonates consume so much energy that we give birth just before a women's metabolic limits would otherwise be overrun (leading to both maternal and infant death). Based on this, the increased energy demands of our larger brains mean that we have to sacrifice neonatal motor skills or drastically improve the metabolic efficiency of adult women.

> In humans, maximum sustained metabolic rate is thought to be 2.0–2.5× basal metabolic rate (BMR).

> By 9 mo, metabolic demands of the fetus threaten to push maternal energy requirements beyond 2.1× BMR. Extending gestation by even one month would likely require metabolic investment beyond the mother’s capacity. Instead, the mother delivers and the neonate’s growth rate slows relative to its fetal growth rate, keeping both the offspring’s and the mother’s energy requirements in check.

I don't understand the title. Is there an update where they are reidentified as wind turbines?
Very interesting! Does anyone have more information on how they were selected? It's not exactly a local operation.
Not true.

The 10 nm Intel Ice Lake Server has much worse perf/W than the 7 nm Epyc made by TSMC, and this is what matters.

That means that at the same power limit and the same number of active cores the Ice Lake Server clock frequency is much lower, or at the same clock frequency and same number of active cores the power consumption of Ice Lake Server is much higher.

The SuperFin 10 nm process used by Tiger Lake allows much higher maximum clock frequencies, up to 5.0 GHz, than the Ice Lake Server 10 nm process, and it also has a better perf/W, but even the SuperFin 10 nm does not reach the perf/W of the 7 nm TSMC process.

If the previous claims made by Intel are true, the process used for Alder Lake, now renamed "Intel 7" will be the first Intel process that is better in perf/W than the 7 nm TSMC process.

Nevertheless, it will be still worse than the "5 nm" process that has been used by TSMC in high volume products (Apple) for more than a year.
Mainly for detecting overflow in an exception-free manner. Perhaps for consistency there should also be two infinitesimal constants for detecting underflow:

1001 -> -111 -> -inf
1010 -> -110 -> -4
1011 -> -101 -> -2
1100 -> -100 -> -1
1101 -> -011 -> -1/2
1110 -> -010 -> -1/4
1111 -> -001 -> -1/inf
1000 -> -000 -> undefined
0000 -> +000 -> 0
0001 -> +001 -> 1/inf
0010 -> +010 -> 1/4
0011 -> +011 -> 1/2
0100 -> +100 -> 1
0101 -> +101 -> 2
0110 -> +110 -> 4
0111 -> +111 -> inf

Then 1/0 would still remain undefined but 1/(1/inf) would be inf. In particular the operations would be (in case of ambiguity first rule applies, s is a sign variable, x, y are arbitrary variables, i, j are
infinity or infinitesimal variables):

undef + x = undef
undef * x = undef
undef / x = undef
x / undef = undef
x / 0 = undef

inf + -inf = undef
1/inf + -1/inf = undef
s*inf + x = s*inf
s*1/inf + x = x

i*i = i
i*j = undef
i*x = i

i/j = undef
i/x = i
x/(s*inf) = s*1/inf
x/(s*1/inf) = s*inf

Then finally the infinities would get introduced by overflow, and infinitesimals by underflow.

Work anxiety is really just because it's incomplete. The motor is still running. You have to turn it off a bit early, maybe an hour or so. With working from home, I've learned to start 15 min early and end 15 min early or I'll be stressed through the night.

Meditation made things worse for me. The key is to focus on only one thing and avoid thinking about everything else. It can be a game. It can be a movie. I prefer motion. Tennis is great; focus on the ball and not how you swing. Running is great; focus on how your feet hit the ground. Cooking works too. I like particularly hard recipes like poached eggs after work. Do the things that you can't do without focusing; it forces you into flow and being in flow is fun. If you're watching a movie while swiping your phone, you're failing at relaxing.

If you have to think about work, then do so. Take a long shower, lie down and don't blank your mind with meditation. Draw on a piece of paper what you're thinking. Take notes. Take a nap. Don't jerk your brain out of work because you think that's how you relax. It has to be "completed" somehow. But you don't have to do it in front of a PC.

The brain can only handle one scope at a time. There's a massive switching cost, to the point that it's usually cheaper to try to do the thing slowly, rather than switch out then switch back in.

Eh, I think it's plausible that in 20 years almost all critical code will be written in memory-safe languages and that this particular bug class will essentially be eliminated for new software. There'll always still be RCE bugs of some kind, but it's probably going to get harder and harder to find them, exploit them, and escape sandboxes and mitigations.

Actually, there isn't. It's perfectly possible to be able to have a process to request bootloader unlocks from Apple, and also be able to use the ecosystem.

The entire point of the saying that you can't have your cake and eat it too is that, well, it can't be both in your hands and in your stomach. But it's perfectly possible for me to be able to call Apple and get a bootloader unlock code, without any other change to anything.

It's not that time-consuming if you know a little bit what you're doing, you can go a long way with just 30 minutes; and this saves time/money too as 1) 1) hardware problems are correctly identified and fixed instead of lingering for ages (and reducing productivity), and 2) no need to reïnstall everything, which is time-consuming as well.

I hate all antivirus software and always try to disable them as soon as I can. They enforce their own values and ideology, and they do terrible at respecting users.

Once I had to do disk imaging on a very slow drive. After the imaging was 10% done, it complained that one of the files contained a malware and aborted. I found that it was Windows Defender that was blocking access to one of the files, so I went to Settings and turned off Real-Time Protection, and did disk imaging again. This time the imaging was 80% done before it aborted. The Real-Time Protection turned itself on because it reached time limit. F**k you, Windows Defender. It took me another four hours to find out how to disable it completely because neither registry keys and group policy worked, and its service can't even be turned off. I had to use a third-party tool called dControl to turn it off completely. And interestingly, dControl was flagged by Windows Defender as malware (for the apparent reason that it was designed to disable Windows Defender).

Modern approach to protecting computer systems is to design software that is already secure and isolate programs using privileges and sandboxes. NO antivirus, please, they're just bad because they're a blackbox, and all blackboxes are destined to be bad.
I always find it surprising that I have yet to see or touch Kubernetes (and I work as an SRE with container workloads for several years now), and yet HN threads about it are full of people who apparently think it's the only possible solution and are flabbergasted that people don't pray to it nightly.

I had never thought of passing legislation against unsafe languages. It sounds like the type of thorny legislative issue that leaves you with a half broken system, like all the cookie notices that currently abound. Nice in spirit, impossible in practice. Regulation could be more sensible but it’s all in the enforcement. There’s nothing preventing organizations from adopting safer coding languages and practices right now, a little incentive may help a bit but I think only so far.
Rust has a strange way of doing it because it's trying to be as performant as C but as safe as a garbage-collected language. Maybe there'll be a language that achieves both without having to worry about ownership, but I'm not aware of any that exist at the moment.

I can speak to this as someone with a disability and social work degree. It's not a popular sentiment but IDGAF at this point.

Yes, this will largely be abused by people who don't need it. Just look at how many students malinger for Adderall scripts or extra time on exams -- it's practically endemic at ivy leagues now.

Disability parking permits are another one that have shocked me at how common abuse of them is in large cities like Toronto. Essentially anytime resources are constrained and an environment is high pressure, these services inevitably see widespread misuse.

High priority low income housing is another area that genuinely shocked me. I had so many clients desperate for housing that they would falsely claim to be high-priority (victims of abuse or terminally ill) it was terrible to see.

The unpopular truth is that these systems are vulnerable to fraud and it absolutely harms people who need them most. HOWEVER, what is the alternative?

Would you suggest we medically validate and police applications?

I've seen that approach taken and it's also a hot mess. It presents barriers not just for people defrauding the system, but the disabled that struggle to navigate the system as well.

I don't know the solution to these issues and it's one of the reasons I got the fuck out of social work as soon as I could.

This is particularly concerning given the claims that this is only supposed to affect Enterprise versions.
It's tautologically true, in that you used the word "on" in both clauses, and "if on, then on" is always true.

But no, in a meaningful sense it's not a true statement about the world. It's a good guess, and for a statement that simple, there might be no need to go further. For a statement about why a volume is full with too many files, the point is that a nice-sounding "if only" isn't something you can test or be certain of.

Your answer about blind people is a very good guess as well, and the same one I would make, but it's not data.

Tesla has some big competition coming up from Ford, Audi, and the rest.

The next race will be for a reasonably priced electric vechicle the middle class can buy.

Preferably from a company that will around for the next decade. There's a bunch of startups that are catering to the over $70,000 wealthy crowd, but I'm not seeing low priced vechicle from companies that have longevity.

I really got to hand it to Elon. I don't think we would be here without him.

The key insights seem to be:

1) Despite the chaos, the debris of a collapsed building can be mapped to the structure as it was when standing.

2) All sorts of information can be used in figuring out where you are - the breed of a dog corpse, a scrap of paper with the name of a victim's rabbi...

3) Be skeptical of secondary sources (estimates of the number of victims...)

4) Bureaucrats will be obstructive just by doing their job as if nothing has happened (we can't tell you that...)

One thing that was not mentioned, but which I imagine was part of the calculus, is what people are likely to do at the first sign of trouble (in this case, noise and shaking) - head for the stairs, go to the window, wait for it to stop...

A) BWC is constantly recording to a circular buffer. It doesn't "start recording" when an officer presses the button; it just writes the buffered data to memory and adds new video data to that file until ~30-60 seconds after the officer ends the event. This has resulted in some amusing footage where actual bad cops plant evidence, then "start" their BWC, and then get fired when the footage is reviewed, released, and goes viral.

B) At least for CPD, the main thing BWC footage does is exonerate officers from unfounded complaints. Most officers have really embraced BWC as it regularly shields them from having to pay out on lawsuits. And when footage should exist on an event number but doesn't, that leaves an officer pretty wide open to having to pay out of pocket.

> Any examples of how shotspotter technology has not lived up to or has failed in what it was designed to do?

You're literally quoting on an article where they moved the location of a sound by over a mile, and reclassified it from a firework to a gunshot. They tried to use this obviously falsified evidence to throw a man in jail, and had to withdraw the evidence once this was pointed out. Sure seems like an example of it not living up to what it was designed to do.

Even if it turns out Williams is guilty and he did shoot that man, Shotspotter was just blatantly wrong about what happened and where it happened.

Also, 86% of the time it detects a gunshot police find nothing.

Messages from public advocates should be delivered with more tact and understanding if you're serious about influencing public opinion.

For instance, if you like the Washington Post, and read this article you'll be quite annoyed at the "have to lose your spine" remark. The message is then diluted.

If you're just a regular consumer who likes the iPhone you'd be annoyed at the latte status symbol quip. The message is then diluted.

>Most human babies take 9-18 months to walk, and this is commonly attributed to the fact that human babies have immature brains that cannot mature due to birth canal constraints, which is constrained by pelvis size which is constrained by the need to walk upright.

You have this a bit backwards- yes brain size at birth is limited by pelvis size, but this means that humans are born prematurely compared to other mammals. The entire body is basically premature and underdeveloped, not just the head/brain. If anything the brain is relatively over-developed, as it's size is the constraining factor in gestation length.

If I remember correctly, 18-24 months is the estimated gestation time humans would have if not restricted by pelvis size (which ironically is itself a result of walking upright), and this fits better with the idea of being able to walk closer to birth.

There's a chapter in "Born to Run" that ties human physiology and endurance and evolution and brain development together in a way that's so elegant, it almost has to be true. It covers the steps that lead to the need for a bigger brain and walking upright as a means for persistence hunting. Highly recommended reading, especially that chapter.
