Duh, I didn't notice you can configure ThinkPads, might have gone that route if I knew. I ordered Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro that is sadly limited to 16GB, but otherwise seems to be a huge success. High-res 90Hz 16:10 display, 5800H, good Linux support out of the box. I just hope the memory won't become a constraint. At least it was considerably cheaper than ThinkPads at 960€.
My main experience is on clang primarily for arm64 systems, where it works just fine (give or take some terrible codegen at times if using llvm's extended vector support).

Intel support is a bit more dubious, especially if you're stuck on older LLVM versions, but __fp16 works for most purposes if all you want is storage. You just have to pass any fp16 function parameters as pointers/references to work around the aforementioned ABI issue. Architecturally intel has supported fp16 conversions necessary for __fp16 for quite a while now, so no reason for it not to work (whereas full fp16 arithmetic is restricted to some less common variants of avx512 iirc, so the distinction between __fp16 and _Float16 isn't much on most intel systems).

It should be fairly straightforward to write a quick test program and see what your local compilers can cope with.
> Consider it’s not very interesting to argue with someone who is set in their ways, and the lack of counter argument is a lack of interest, not a superiority of viewpoint.

I have yet to hear a good counter argument though. If I had heard one, I would have changed my mind. So, I don't think I'm set in my ways. (I actually change my mind often when presented with new evidence!)

I will always consider downvotes without argumentation to be a lazy way of disagreeing and the people who do that I think are set in their ways. Until I hear otherwise, I will continue to consider my argument as superior.

Does anyone really change their mind until they hear a counter to what they already think? I don't think so... I already argued with myself and came up with my opinion on this, so really - I need external arguments to change my mind just like everyone else.
Do yourself a favor and read the writeup about the perfect home automation system by founder of Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io)

https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2016/01/19/perfect-home-a...

An app per device class/vendor is beyond useless. A centralized, single controller that mostly has no interface at all is the solution.
Congratulations on re-inventing UPN

Apple doesn't "scan" iCloud. Not sure what you're talking about. Generally everything in iCloud is E2E encrypted, with the exception of iCloud Backups, where Apple holds onto a decryption key and will use it to comply with subpoenas. But nothing is "scanned," and if you don't use iCloud backup, Apple can't see your data.

ELI5:

How do the 'experts' know that there is a Delta surge or a Lambda surge when there is no test that can test it correctly?
This was clear within weeks after publishing it. Years later it’s still cited or paraphrased in every article about bees or other flying insects. Sigh.
I can only add that I've been doing my own electrical work for over a decade now and have been successful.

Haven't been zapped either (I'm extremely careful about that, not so much when I was young).

To be sure though I have stopped at the point where a new circuit/breaker would need to be added to the panel, new wiring run. Although I do understand in theory how it is done, how to select the right gauge wire for the circuit, staying within the current limits of the panel....
> Most of the lyrics in rap songs are generally by black people and intended for black audiences, but it doesn't mean other people don't love it, can't appreciate it, or shouldn't listen.

We tried "rap music for white people" and we decided we preferred the rap music for black people :D
If it's something that's nonperishable that you're eventually going to use, like toilet paper or soap, then so long as you have the storage space the fifty pack is a screaming bargain.
Plenty of people have already replied about the challenges. I would like to add a few tips that would help a lot as an immigrant.

1. The moment you land in America, you need to try and get a Social Security Number (SSN). As a legal immigrant, you can get this by applying either yourself or through your school/employer etc.

2. Once you have SSN and a decent proof of Address (lease/school letter), go and apply for a local State ID at your local Motor Vehicle Agency. You probably won't be able to geta Driver's License right away BUT many people don't know that you can get a State Identification Card or State ID which is really useful for ID purposes. Carrying your passport everywhere for ID if needed is very inconvenient and frankly opens you up for more scrutiny unfortunately. Get a State ID.

3. Go to a local bank/credit union and ask them for a secured line of credit. In other words, they will ask you to deposit something like $500 and in return give you an actual credit card (not a debit card). This will help you build credit slowly over time. Don't wait for this. Do it as soon as you can. Debit cards in US will not help with building a credit score.

Once you have these in order, you will find it much easier to get other things done.

As an immigrant to the US who is now a citizen for many years, I can tell you that most Americans are friendly and want to help but there is a lot of ignorance as well. Racism etc exist but it is not as common. What really hurts the immigrants is the ignorance and knowledge gap that Americans in general have especially if they have never travelled outside. But most mean well and you just have to be patient and get your ducks in a row. All the best.
Is that actually intentional? i.e. if you bought a bunch of them would they all be like that?

It could just be that they have machines that try to randomly scatter pepperoni (or whatever) and then the ones where none of the pepperoni ends up visible fail QA. I think that's happening with at least the waitrose smoked salmon in that article, because I have had that before and it definitely wasn't misleading.
Interview with FWD:Everyone Founder
I haven't, but its on my growing todo list. From what I've seen of it, it has a smaller community than LÖVE (which was part of my problem with some of the raylib bindings), but does look very nice.

Personally for me, the dream is a framework that can do 2D and 3D. The game I'm currently working on will most likely be 2D, but I'm experimenting with 3D and its nice to be able to do all that with the stuff framework. I think Bevy is currently my favourite, but I'm always looking for others as well
Failed education system.
Except that "for white people" is the default. The minority representation in media is still generally token at best. And, while it may seem like a double standard, when you say something implying that there should be a "x for white people" it sounds like you're saying you're already seeing too much minority representation in media for your comfort or sense of place in society. And if that's the case, know that that means you have some issues to work out on your own.
> It's African Americans put in the situation of Friends, and then living their own similar-but-unique story in that situation, informed by cultural differences. (IMHO, it's also a helluva lot better of a show)

Living Single was a good show because, unlike Friends, it was actually funny.

> That kind of... stopped. Once TV got homogenized and distributors realized that African American viewers would watch shows about white people, but white people weren't as happy watching shows about African Americans.

But let's be nuanced about this - I don't think that skin color is the real case. Everyone watched Cosby (and for the sake of discussion let's ignore the current situation with him). My (white) heavily bigoted/borderline racist grandmother watched Cosby. He was America's dad and loved by everyone. I think the real problem was that black characters weren't put into shows that represented widely popular, aspirational American ideals or lifestyles, which Cosby had (nuclear family with professional parents and kids dealing with kid stuff). If you want to say that really doesn't represent the majority of the black American experience you wouldn't be wrong, but it also doesn't represent the majority of the white/Hispanic/Asian American experience either. It was something to aspire to.

Those sorts of mass-appeal western values-type shows, IMHO, will be some of the best bridges to build in regards to race relations.
I used docker-sync for a long time, but last time I tried it (2019) it was too unreliable—I spent 30 minutes to an hour every week diagnosing issues with out of sync files and broken sync processes.

Every scam in the world can be avoided if the customer pays enough attention. One can always say - pay more attention and you won't get scammed. This doesn't make the practice any less scummy.
For making my movie quiz free of cheaters (at least most of them), I tried to fool Google Images reverse search by adding some noise like described here, on my movie snapshots. Unfortunately it didn't work.

The only trick which works the most is to revert horizontally the image, at random. When it works, Google is not about to find similar images.

Who, AdObserver? I thought they wanted real data from non-robots, Thats why they went through so much trouble to have the browser extension.

I guess I could see an auto-scroller being used to grab ad impressions, and that could count as click fraud… except without clicks what are you left with, “impression fraud”?
These get more and more frightening as you go along. You shut down someone's business and you just casually mention you will re-enable them almost as if it is a favor?

I'm sorry you are going through this.
Your link is missing vital information.

From [1] page 13:

> Efficacy is being assessed throughout a participant’s follow-up in the study through surveillance for potential cases of COVID-19. If, at any time, a participant develops acute respiratory illness, an illness visit occurs. Assessments for illness visits include a nasal (midturbinate) swab, which is tested at a central laboratory using a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test (e.g., Cepheid; FDA authorized under EUA), or other sufficiently validated nucleic acid amplification-based test (NAAT), to detect SARS-CoV-2.

So, if you didn't present symptoms of an acute respiratory infection, you weren't PCR tested in the trial. Since we know that the vast majority of PCR positive tests come from asymptomatic and very mild cases, this trial can't be used to draw any conclusions about it's ability to prevent infection.

Here's another interesting bit from page 42:

> Among 3410 total cases of suspected but unconfirmed COVID-19 in the overall study population, 1594 occurred in the vaccine group vs. 1816 in the placebo group. Suspected COVID-19 cases that occurred within 7 days after any vaccination were 409 in the vaccine group vs. 287 in the placebo group. It is possible that the imbalance in suspected COVID-19 cases occurring in the 7 days postvaccination represents vaccine reactogenicity with symptoms that overlap with those of COVID-19. Overall though, these data do not raise a concern that protocol-specified reporting of suspected, but unconfirmed COVID-19 cases could have masked clinically significant adverse events that would not have otherwise been detected

The document doesn't outline what 'suspected' cases are.

Here is the paragraph that specific states data is limited around transmission (page 48):

> Vaccine effectiveness against transmission of SARS-CoV-2 Data are limited to assess the effect of the vaccine against transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from individuals who are infected despite vaccination. Demonstrated high efficacy against symptomatic COVID-19 may translate to overall prevention of transmission in populations with high enough vaccine uptake, though it is possible that if efficacy against asymptomatic infection were lower than efficacy against symptomatic infection, asymptomatic cases in combination with reduced mask-wearing and social distancing could result in significant continued transmission. Additional evaluations including data from clinical trials and from vaccine use post-authorization will be needed to assess the effect of the vaccine in preventing virus shedding and transmission, in particular in individuals with asymptomatic infection.

Now, this is if you take the studies at face value, which I don't. We know Pfizer and the FDA are full of frauds and grifters.

Not sure why this got downvoted. This is correct and very thoroughly documented.
Actually the courts think that a similar business, "cakes for straight people", is in fact discriminatory and also illegal.
> The original Charmin roll of toilet paper, he says, had 650 sheets.

In Soviet Russia... (it is a kind of legend, I would not vouch for its truth value)

A roll of toilet paper was of 52 meters length. It was because the standard caliber in artillery was 120 mm, so in case of war the industry can be reoriented to fill cartridge case with a powder. When artillery moved to a 125 mm caliber the length of a roll of toiler paper increased to 54 meters.
I think that all VOCs are not created equal, also.
You are saying that as if all black people have the same identity or something. Since when does the color of ones skin define their culture?

> My point, linguistically, is just that "<adjective> <group>" paradoxically both qualifies "<group>" and also links "<adjective>" and "<group>".

I think that's broadly speaking correct. The point I made in my first reply to you was that I don't think this happens to the same extent for every word combination. Among other things the degree of linkage seems to me to be inversely correlated to the degree to which your adjective and group inform one another.

That is, to be clear, an attempt by me to put into words why I intuitively feel the phrase "greedy Frenchmen" is strongly dominated by linkage, whereas "fundamentalist Christians" is not. I cannot prove this. But I don't think I'm an insulated case here: I've never seen anyone being called out for being insensitive by using the phrase "fundamentalist Christians"; I have seen it for phrases like "greedy Frenchmen" and, in this very thread, "toxic masculinity".

Nevertheless, even though I might not fully understand a certain sensitivity, I'm happy to adapt my language to be less prone to misinterpretation. But I'm curious whether you have any workable suggestions. If you want to talk about the fundamentalist subset of Christians, what phrasing would you use that avoids offending people?
This is a really good comment that encapsulates a lot of things I've been trying to express before. Thank you.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't the failure of smart homes attributed to the SaaS model itself. Nest devices had to be killed because Google wouldn't support the subscription anymore. What it needs is licensing model and not a subscription. Get a smart home installed on your home like you'd install Windows on a PC. We are basically wanting to install a server in every home to cut off recurring costs on vendors and even dependency on a single vendor for that matter.

The bottleneck here could be the network interface once you are away from your home. That is where standards struggle.
Apparently the answer is create a Hacker News thread, tweet about it, have your Stripe PM friends contact internal support, have your VC friends round up some internal contacts in Stripe, contact old Stripe employees...

...until a real life person from Stripe support finally gives you the time of day.

Really poor process if you ask me.
I use a GitHub action to build, send the new binary to a server, and then restart the app.
>I don't know what country you're from but if you don't think there are subcultures in your country under-represented

Where do you draw the line in your definition of "subcultures"? Is it Black/White/Brown? I always feel weird that I'm pigeon-holed into "white", as if I have anything in common with those of Italian or Jewish ancestry.

>The country has a deep history of racism and black people being literal slaves

The USA is astoundingly multi-cultural. Why do you think so many people from around the globe try to get there?
French-Canadian were too considered like most other catholics as different and undesirable : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan_in_Maine
Thank you. HN is one of the few places where no-code is discussed at length, and it's frustrating how many programmers default to replying with "I would never use this in production."

You don't have to. The no-coder is building a prototype, safely sandboxed away from your precious CI/CD pipeline. The benefit of building a robust prototype is that the idea-haver person doesn't bother developers with unfinished requirements, and the developers don't have to write a damn thing until they look through the prototype and start mapping out some changes.
If the Jack boot fits…
And what would prevent us from accepting minors as our clients or lowering our commission? Both would be possible with the push of a button and some changes in our TOS. We probably won't do either and there are reasons for that. Just trying to dismiss this point.

Interesting discussion overall...greetings from Hannes (CEO SkinBaron GmbH)
Considering there IS a divide, that there is a distinct American Black culture, that has gotten suppressed by way too many of us...

This is a great way to encourage representation and sponsor more content within the culture, for everyone to enjoy as they see fit.
In my experience, questioning the logic behind marketing-speak just gets you more marketing-speak. This seems like a well-intentioned idea, but I doubt it'll actually go anywhere. "x for y group" rarely works, "x without z problem" seems to work a lot better.
That’s a pretty good analogy, but it’s what you do with the detectors answer that’s the problem. If you just say: “The detect says no, we won’t accept your package”. Then there’s no problem.

Apple could do the same, simply letting the user know that this/these images cannot be uploaded to iCloud, and then do nothing else.

The problem is that the results of these scans are pretty useless. They don’t prove anything. While Apple knows that law enforcement and politicians will believe it’s 100% correct, because they don’t even understand that DNA can be wrong, and demand customer names from Apple.
> I'm constantly handed shitty (or a complete lack thereof) requirements from non-technical people. No code lets people figure out that they haven't thought something out nearly as much as they think they have. I no longer am the bearer of bad news.

Personally I find this to be part of the Job. The way I look at it i'm the one looking at sites all day, I'm the one caught up on all the latest trends, I'm the one who knows what looks good and what doesn't. My client on the other hand, they will likely know what they want, but when it comes to describing it, they may offer a nebulous response.

My job here is to take that nebulous response and form it into requirements. One thing I do all the time is if a client asks me to do something on the site and I can't discern what they want me to do, I will usually ask them where they go the idea. They will say something like "Oh pinterest, instagram, facebook, etc have something like this", we pull up that site and they show me, and from there I adjust requirement accordingly.

I don't hold this against any of my clients, it's ok if they don't quite know what they want, I'm the professional and it's my job to figure that out.

Windows is a much better Docker host these days.
It is an analogy to what Apple is doing. Analogically you are sending something to Apple to handle for you (either store or ship) and they have legal obligations and business requirements. Every other company manages those by ‘opening your package’ is analogous to server-side image scanning like PhotoDNA.
Yeh that makes sense actually. I guess the control methods would be different, but I can see on the LOVR docs that keyboard and mouse are also supported.

Maybe my concern with it comes with using 3D engines that can "also do 2D", but then when you try to do 2D with them, you find out its a bit of a hack job
Sounds like discretionary adoption along the lines of a typical hype curve based on what you describe;- Initial optimism about a hyper integrated, seamless home full of intelligent devices that sync up and act as a cohesive whole. This gives way to eventually settling on reality where a few disparate clever devices deliver high value while being relatively low complexity and working mostly independently.

I've struggled to find even that much value in smart products - we flirted with a Hue system but at literally 10x the cost of ordinary led lights we didn't get beyond a few bulbs before realizing it was a money pit with at best marginal benefits. We have a few nice nanoleaf feature pieces that run themselves on a simple schedule. I can't see much else making it's way into the place and creating additional headaches.

I felt like a cynical old git shaking my head about new the work coffee machine having a touch screen and needing wifi to work, but seeing how often the same machine was 'down' waiting for a tech and the absurdity of colleagues who didn't quite know how to work around such an outage... This kind of stuff may be creating value for investors somewhere but in the long run there's little chance it's improving the lives of those it's being marketed to.
Are you being serious when you say America has a relatively monolithic culture? Relative to whom?
idk about what's available in your area, but are a variety of brands that sell "Thick(er)" cut bacon. They're often a better buy per-pound in my area (NJ) than the equivalent "regular" sliced bacon.

That's not even getting into the insanity that is Peter Luger's bacon.
No, it's just mostly triggered white people concern trolling as usual.
