One of our interns got that jobs. Left are 200 old laptops, take out the SSD and smash it with a hammer. Right are 200 new laptops, don't touch.

Turns out someone got confused between left and right, gave him the wrong instructions, and he smashed 200 brand new SSDs. Ouch.
Do you have a source for "lots"? I can only find the one - Mujeres & Compañía - who posted a short clip to their Twitter and TikTok accounts showing them packing up some (doesn't look like all!) of their copies into a box for sending back.
This question has been asked and answered in the German media in 2020 iirc - the institute doing the counting, the Robert Koch Institute, has an explanation in their FAQ [0], to paraphrase:

In general, there are fewer cases reported to the RKI on weekends, since

a) fewer people go to a doctor on the weekends (since normal pcp's offices are closed in Germany) - this leads to fewer samples being tested and thus, fewer cases reported

and b) additionally not all of the local communities have active health departments on the weekends, so this contributes to a drop of reported cases on the weekend.

When I was young I always enjoyed playing with Mindstorms. It was my first experience programming. For me it was amusing that I could build some robot with Lego and make it retrieve a ball from our living room.

Sadly jumping from the block oriented programming to "real" programming of the Hitachi H8 microcontroller was not very straight forward, so I kind of hit a wall in that regard. Maybe this collaboration will act as a better gateway to "real" programming.
> I still don’t fully understand why there’s a problem with making a joke that gets a laugh from an audience, even if it is mildly offensive.

Because it could be bullying.
I routinely don't have enough space there. Any professional app (and these laptops are squarely aimed at professionals) will eat into this "unused gray space".

Add a few apps that add ions to the menu bar, and suddenly you already have no space even without the notch.
What is the TDP of the M1 Max?
Presumably a lot lower than 100W as it runs in a laptop.
I should take a look more closely at the doctest feature indeed :)
Unfortunately our experiences are different here! Mine went through a wash and although they still kind of worked ANC was ruined (it would buzz) and the audio quality was pretty terrible.
A charger does not have to support any particular voltage/current combination. If a device requests a specific config (9V/2A) but the charger only provides 12V/1.5A with 5V/1.5A fallback, then the best the two can negotiate is 5V at 1.5A. Even if the charger provides 9V/1.5A the device might be programmed to only accept 9V/2A with 5V fallback. This would be USB-compliant, but still frustrating to the user.

“Rounded” is a common design element throughout the history of Apple — including iPhones and iPads. It also has zero baring on the function of the device so who cares if it’s a little more boxy or rounded? It’s supposed to be a “Pro” device not some piece of art.

Even if a community did have a higher homicide victimization rate than average, it could still punch well above its weight in terms of Twitter mobbing. Those things aren't somehow mutually exclusive. And Chappelle's anecdote was about a black trans person who committed suicide after being marginalized by their community, and I don't think anyone is disputing that trans people disproportionately struggle with mental health issues and suicide.

> Given that the majority in the murdered trans population we are discussing are black trans women, not factoring that in will give you your counterintuitive conclusion.

I deliberately didn't try to break it down by gender because of the inherent issues with comparing someone who has biologically and socially developed as a male (to varying degrees, eg. someone who begins transitioning at 15 is going to be different than someone who starts at 35) to natal women. It is notable though that if you look at the stats, the victimization rate for black trans women falls in between the stats for black men (much higher) and black women (much lower). It would be interesting to look at other indicators like automobile accidents that show significant gender divergence to see if a similar pattern emerges.

> I can't make that fbi website spit out better numbers, but the fact that the fbi doesn't even have an incentive to track this kind of thing is telling all by itself.

Unfortunately I don't think we'll get better stats anytime soon. Race and gender are fairly easy to track because they get marked down on various forms of ID, but there is no equivalent "trans: Y/N" anywhere. And many trans people would vociferously oppose something like that. The result is that police will likely only include trans identification in case documents if it is relevant, eg. with a hate crime.
Aside note: since they have been less available to some, it is possible that some may have missed the Police Squad! (ZAZ 1982) series or The Kentucky Fried Movie (Landis 1977). I must recommend to those who only know the prominent works (Airplane!, Naked Gun etc.) to find and try the preparatory works.

They don't say it anywhere, but I hope HDMI inclusion is for the 2.1 version's increased bandwidth (even over TB4), potentially allowing for single-cable 8k at 60Hz.
If a joke indirectly offending someone is bullying, how do you feel when comedians do "crowd work"?
He is a comedian talking about comedy. He makes some good points you might agree with or not, but I cannot understand why it matters how many essays he has written about George Floyd's death. If that is the new low bar to talk about something, the hand is already kilometers away of the stove. It's cold in there.
Apple's gotten good at this architectural switching game for the Mac:

68K -> PPC -> x86 -> ARM

The remarkable thing is that the new machines in emulation mode are usually comparable to or faster than the older machines.
I see, thanks. Sounds like it's a sort of Apple Time Machine but for the rest of us?
Nit: the M1 Max has 400GB/s (3.2Tbps) bandwidth.
I agree it is not a good comment, but I did want to see if somebody else thought as I did.
It should start with the time, e.g.: '2700 years ago people in present-day Austria drank beer and ate blue cheese'.

Should probably also be more specific and say 'inhabiting' rather than 'in'.
I think the two main factors contributing to that are movement speed and muscle mass.

To run fast, you need to do about 180 steps/minute (each leg moves back and forth 90 times/minute (https://blog.squadeasy.com/en/blog2020/running-pace-why-work...). Also, 5k runners tend to be not that muscular.

When rowing, you train your leg muscles at, at best (and only in sprint), half that frequency, and you get more muscles than you need for doing 5k well, so when running you have to carry extra weight.

You should look at your 5k times on the beach, running up sand dunes, or on a sandy horse trail :-)
As I understand it, Rosetta 2 performs on-demand static translation the first time you launch an app.

"If an executable contains only Intel instructions, macOS automatically launches Rosetta and begins the translation process. When translation finishes, the system launches the translated executable in place of the original."

Interestingly enough, you can't mix different flavors of code, for example plugins written for different architectures, the way you could in some previous emulators.

That notch thing will put me off!
Ugliest impractical thing causing additional efforts and potential troubles unnecessarily. Avoiding iPhones with that, will do the same with laptops.

And that magsafe -> no magsafe -> magsafe again disarray! Come on, make up your f mind. I held off buying new computer looong, did not want to leave MagSafe, it recently died so was forced into USB-C charging, which I did not want at all, ok, reshaped my practice and now this?! A never existed incompatible magsafe again?! I don't want to switch yet again, the magsafe 1 to 2 was a pain alone, then USB-C is a torture, I fn not do that again! Ok it presumably charges through thunderbolt 4 ports too with USB-C (theoretically, one never knows as I heard) but you spread your new magsafe after killing it proudly and loudly!? Jesus!

How come Apple can ruin and confuse things so effortlessly, do they have a mandatory training in that or what?! It is big kudos to remove touchbar, have (have?) proper keyboard after the pathetic stumble series of trying to reinvent the wheel and f up the life of millions (the Air M1 is flawed still, repeats keys frequently), hallelujah for having HDMI again, finally paying attention of practicaliities in a consumer product not just the appearances and show-off but come on! Now this idiotic notch thing and the zillionth way of charging again? Very off putting, again, continuouusly now. Actually not interested to buy. (luckily I do not need a power plannt only a decent performing one so I can live with my advanced Air M1 for long long long time - assuming the keybard holds off -, when my wife's old Air dies we will stick to that or turning back to some serious manufacturer making laptops for use not for show)
I like Lenny Susskind's remark about a similar Einstein vindication: "they didn't call him Einstein for nothing!".

Why is he obligated to write something about George Floyd? This touches on compelled speech.
Wow. This is a pretty big deal.

There have been third party hubs to pilot Lego Technic motors for a while now, but this HAT is a lot cheaper than any of them (TBF it doesn't work the same either, with no battery, button or physical casing etc.), works with the latest batch of motors, has official blessing, and the RPi is also a lot more extensible and flexible on every aspect.

This is a no brainer purchase for anyone trying to do more things with Lego Technic in my opinion.

Being "woke" is black freedom fighter slang that described an understanding of the case for reparations and police reform. It is being bastardized by people with an agenda in the dominant white society with the help of the media to undermine and/or distract from that movement.

Understand that by misusing that slang, you are also assisting them in doing the same. People that understand the actual definition correctly expect there is malicious ulterior intent when it is wrongly invoked, like in your earlier comments.

Note: I'm from India.

Indeed, a lot of Indian people do not know the punctuation rules. I frequently educate them about it. Some however refuse to correct themselves.

It is not taught that way in India. However, I am seeing even English teachers developing these habits.

Books, print media, written by Indian authors is usually fine as of now. However, the way it is going, I would not be surprised to see this style of writing becoming a standard as a local dialect over the years. :-(

Hey, that long hyphen with no spaces! Why is it so? It works like parentheses but I never got the nuance.
I'd much rather have the ability to fix a device myself than be locked into a vendor controlled repair solution. I've been able to extend the life of many devices I've had (the earliest from 2010) through repairs like dust removal, RAM upgrades and thermal paste reapplication.

Also worth noting that some people might be taking laptops to repair shops precisely because they are not user serviceable. Companies like framework are trying to change this with well-labelled internals and easily available parts.
You're rejecting this person without giving them a chance. "You're wrong" "You did something bad" "You have the wrong mindset". There is no room to be correct. There is no room for a bilateral implementation of a feature. There is no room for a collaboration mindset.

Nebraska AG Says Doctors Can Legally Prescribe Ivermectin
I am very curios about this laptop thickness topic. I understand that going from 3 cm laptop to 2 cm is a noticeable difference and might have some practical effects. I can believe that 3cm laptop does not fit the bag well, but 2cm does.

But here we go from 1.8cm to 1.55 cm, does this make any practical, visible difference?

I'm struggling to figure out a plausible scenario in which a model like this would be rendering judgment on employment suitability based on gender. Such a scenario would have to be deliberately created - models like these give you the answers to questions you ask. If you choose questions that lead to gender bias, it's not a problem with the model.

The whole scenario is contrived and not relevant to the functionality of these language models. It's like complaining that your Formula 1 car doesn't have a snowplow mount. Even if you add one, that's not how you should be using the tool.

The models use human generated text. They model human biases, like preferences for well being, humor, racism, sexism, and intelligence or ignorance. The ability to generate biased output is also the ability to recognize bias. It's up to the prompt engineer to develop a methodology that selects against bias.

You can use prompts to review the output - is this answer biased? Sexist? Racist? Hurtful? Shallow? Create a set of 100 questions that methodically seek potential bias and negative affect, and you could well arrive at output that is more rigorously fair and explained than most humans could accomplish in the casual execution of whatever task you're automating.

Zero-shot inference is a starting point - much the same way people shouldn't blurt out whatever first leaps to mind, meaningful output will require multiple passes.
Absolutely agree. At the end of the day there's only so much those services can pick up, so at some point you're bound to run into limitations there.

To address this with Felingua I've added in two methods of getting corrections on the pages you write:

1. Automatically, by using LanguageTool.
2. Manually, by allow you to request people you know to review.

The former is great for spelling mistakes or simple grammatical errors, but the latter is where you'll eventually get the most out of once you're at more of an advanced level. I haven't found any service yet that can substitute that.

Feel free to let me know your thoughts if you decide to give it a try!
I have somewhat mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, block-based "programming" does allow children/newbies to construct something that works. On the other hand, almost nothing usable is being programmed this way. So I'd say it's more or less fine as a kind of introduction to general rules of programming, but the sooner you get to the actual code, the better.

That said, microcontroller programming is something very specific in the sense that the same thing might (and often is) programmed in a completely different way on another device, so basically a large part is just getting to know your hardware. Fortunately, these days several abstraction layers are available for people who need them, from MicroPython to FreeRTOS.
So this is also a precision gravity sensor it appears. I wonder what its sensitivity is compared to LIGO.
That heavily depends on its flavor.

I'm from Eastern Europe too and live since half a life in Switzerland. I can tell that the jokes I knew from back there were deemed offensive for local tastes and this is definitely not a consequence of today's changes - they found them offensive also back then (like 25 years ago). Not only jokes but also reactions to daily situations. So maybe what you noticed is not wokeism but just globalization of social norms (I'm sure there's a fancy word for this).

As noted in the article, the rather extraordinary thing is that Davidian didn't just write one 68K emulator - he wrote (at least?) three: AMD 29K, Motorola 88K, PowerPC.

The hardware prototypes like the one in the picture are remarkable as well. Imagine four "Macintosh" systems that look just like regular 68K Macs of that time, booting regular 68K Mac OS and application software, but they all have different CPU architectures (68K, 29K, 88K, PPC.)

(Presumably these architectures all had direct support for the 68K's big-endian byte order, unlike, say, x86, though Apple also famously built an x86/PC port of classic Mac OS.)

I would consider it, but my challenge is that I don’t know the space well enough to distinguish between a quick money scam and a legitimate company.

I have a decent high level technical understanding of what blockchain is, the various proof protocols, some use cases, etc.

Where things fall apart for me are when I don’t have the slightest clue of what the business model is as I don’t know all the pieces involved in the ecosystem. Some may be genuine infrastructure companies, but others have no idea and are just promising the world + Mars.

I get a bunch of crypto recruiting emails, and so many of them remind me of the initial coin offerings that were popular a few years ago. The last one talked about being the crypto of consciousness. Many talk about bringing crypto to the masses with yet another coin. Another has little to say about anything other than how it will change the world as we know it as transform how humans live their lives.

So probably the biggest challenge with getting me to interview for a crypto startup would be quickly demonstrating that this isn’t a coin in search of a problem or outright scam before I lost interest in reading the invite to interview and throwing you in the bin with the others. If you put the $4 billion in trading volume in your recruitment pitch, it would be enough for me to look a bit harder, as that proves there is at least some legitimate business there.

Back in the 1990s the UK TV programme "Watchdog" ran a report about projected bottle caps injuring people during opening. It was named "missiling". Since then I've always ensured that the cap is facing away from anyone when opening a pressurised bottle.
