Really depends on the information at that point of time. We can already see clearly that the vaccines don’t prevent infection or contagion, so the urgency to get vaccinated is gone. I remain in a very low risk group. Data on possible vaccine side-effects and excess deaths is worrying. But the wild card is so-called “long covid.”
I worked on PS3 titles that used SPUs and I can't tell you how relieved I was to find that the PS4 did away with them. The fear that the next PS would have "64 SPUs and a marginally faster PPU" was real.

The analogy I gave to my friends at the time was working in a restaurant kitchen with a tiny stovetop and 2-dozen microwave ovens; does some things really fast, but only if you can cut them up into small pieces that are microwave-friendly.
I know this doesn't answer your question, but can I just ask (out of curiosity) why you're training ML models on a laptop?

What a fake reply. First, you did blame me:

"Eich was still at Mozilla (not CEO) when Mozilla under-invested in desktop performance, failed to get Firefox OS off the ground, and most likely laid the groundwork to switching to Yahoo."

The last "most likely laid the groundwork" ungrammatically modifies the "Eich was still at Mozilla" and definitely tries to blame me for Firefox making Yahoo default search in Dec. 2014. Own up to the denotation of your own fractured words!

Of course you didn't mention Mozilla's history after me, as you were too busy blaming me for problems up until I left.

There is no "the tech community" and I'm not defensive, but you are, because I called out your offensive and dishonest comment. Have a nice day.

Hmm. Car insurance is one of the most competitive industries in the US. Lots of players, slim margins, commodity product, etc... I wonder how long a company could charge people $50 more for braking hard and not lose customers. I know if I saw a surprise like that, I'd be getting quotes immediately.
256x256 PNG reduced to 256 colors with pixel transparency gets it to 2.68K. I manually dropped the color depth to indexed and saved it out in PhotoShop and I used FileOptimizer to shrink it. It includes 12 different image shrinkers and runs them all.
Not sure. China, India, Africa etc were colonized for much shorter periods of time.

One point of comparison would be Ireland. They didn't suffer from colonist-brought diseases, because obviously they had all the same diseases already, but they did suffer a precipitous decline in population.

Another example would be the west coast of Africa, which was similarly colonized from early modernity on.

And Netflix degrades video quality on untrusted platforms, and there is a host of apps that refuse to run on unlocked phones. Wide availability of TPM could be just what is needed to spread this to PCs - which are the exception among computing platforms in being open.

We're sliding down the slope right now. The fallacy is thinking the trend will stop, because.. well, surely this is the last step, right? Just like all the ones before it.
IMO it's obvious that there will need to be a desktop version - and all the rumours are pointing towards a Mac Pro release with silly specs - i.e. an SOC with something like 40/64+ cores. Why would Apple want to give up their portion of the high-power desktop market to Windows?

What's the alternative? That they release another Mac Pro with intel, despite their stated intention to move everything away from x86, or that they release a Mac Pro with just a laptop chip inside?

Let's remember that Apple has an annual R&D budget of c$20 billion, so it won't be totally shocking if they diverted a small fraction of that to build out a desktop processor.

This has nothing to do with "escaping what chars when". It's simply a structural whitelist for DOM nodes that prevents JS execution, coupled with a contextual parser that was already available, but a little hard to find. Maybe I'm not understanding your point, because googling for "SGML insertion contexts" doesn't bring up anything that looks relevant, but there are many, many drawbacks that came from using XML to define HTML, and the browser community moved away from it for a good reason. My guess is that SGML had a similar story.

Facebook removing images of Courbet's painting L'Origine du Monde, the Venus of Willendorf, or Youtube restricting a videoclip from Brassens' Les Passantes to 18+ viewers.

All perfect examples of nonsense puritanical values that Big Tech applies indiscriminately regardless of the audience's values.

And sure, in these examples they backtracked, but only because these created massive negative buzzes, but what about all the other cases that didn't trend on Twitter or made the frontpage news?

We who? I definitely do not feel that we have enough. If we did it would've percolated to some noticeable action.
I agree with you, also as an american. I want to blame 'our' fear of nudity and sex on the Puritans and our puritanical (ha) national religious views. Love of violence or acceptance of violence feels like the reciprocal impact of fear of sex.

The idea I have is our fear of sex lead to US film makers searching for something that would get people's attention, and violence turned out to be it. One could also make a vague claim about guns being a more natural part of our independent fantastical claims of living on the frontier (needed to kill the previous inhabitants during our genocidal takeovers). But I think it was the infamous Hayes Code (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Production_Code) in the 1930s, where we moved from a time without as much cinematic censorship (that allowed both violence and sex & nudity at times) into a time that was much more anti-sex in the media. The anti-sex was already there, but the Hayes code gave anti-sex conservatives much more power to control mass media for a while.
That’s lit and a fantastic turnaround. Great work to whoever is reading this!
I used it once in financial projections at work: assuming the customer base would continue to double every six months, and that each customer generated data at a constant rate, and using integration to compute the total storage needed. I might have also used it when taking depreciation and inflation into account.

Technically, though, I learned that calculus from a textbook, rather than by being taught.
It would be odd if we made deep advances in understanding math at an explanatory level without having some kind of translation to how people do math.

I think you’re actually in agreement with the GP. The quote:

“Now I don’t want you to worry, class, these tests will have no effect on your grades. They merely determine your future social status and success, if any.”

— Mrs. Krabappel

As you pointed out, Bart admits to cheating and gets sent back to his ordinary class. The GP’s point is that these tests merely determine who will be admitted to the “gifted and talented” classes, not who will succeed in them, and the Simpson’s episode bears that out. If there were a more accurate way of predicting success in gifted classes then we should use that instead of standardized test scores.

Kaplan: Long-term investing works when you keep your money in the market for long periods of time. When you're doing dollar cost averaging, you're not keeping your money in the market over the full period of time. You are keeping much of your money out of the market for much of the time. So, you're not getting the full benefit of long-term investing. Furthermore, when you're dollar cost averaging, you're basically placing a bet. You're placing a bet that the market will be going down shortly after you get the money and that eventually the market will come back up towards the end of the period as you're putting more money into the market.
Prior to the popularity of MDN and campaigns like W3Fools (q.v.), the articles on W3Schools were very bad from a web standards perspective (<marquee> and VBScript levels of bad); from a programming perspective, their PHP articles (which largely date from that time) are still incredibly shoddy. Their unwillingness to relinquish the unwarranted authoritative tone or at least visibly disavow any connection to the W3C (who asked repeatedly), coupled with their domination of search results, at a time of a standards push (remember validator buttons?) and multiple high-quality documentation efforts (later folded into MDN; Opera in particular had a good course) just plain got on people’s nerves.

They’re a valid reference, just a low-grade one, and using a low-grade reference is rarely a good tradeoff. They also used to be worse and never quite shook of their reputation.

You are not gonna get this type of data until years later, if ever. We don't have realtime regional data that is comprehensive, we have local anecdotes and then national data without regional breakdowns.

National data with regional breakdowns always lags by quite a bit, and unless there is institutional demand for such data, it just wont be collected at all.

One possibility is to look at BLS employment data by regions, but it's still really tricky to tease these types of effects out of that.

In a lot of ways, though, the European subjugation of the Americas was the "tutorial mode" for European subjugation of Asia and Africa. Among other things, note that the business end of European colonization of subsaharan Africa and South and East Asia started ~a century after the colonization of the Americas (thanks to proximity, the Middle East and North Africa were much more tightly coupled to European history, and colonization played out differently there). The scramble for Africa and the opening of Japan didn't happen until the mid-late 19th century!
Too many ways to do things. TIMTOWTDI.

If you went looking for the best practices, you would find a few things but mostly you would find garden path tutorials leading you through many suboptimal ways of doing things and then finally recommending a final, also suboptimal, way. There was a book on Perl best practices that was full of recommendations on how to do things, and after not too long many of the techniques were deprecated. In other words the book was wrong yet it was the go-to book when it came out. Sure it’s normal for tech books to get outdated but this seemed to be a different level.

Then you hop over to the Python docs and see this phrase, paraphrasing here, “there should (generally) be one preferred way to do it.”

I don't think this is useful analogy. If Kroger raises prices for milk, you can cross the street and buy your milk from Walmart or Aldi or Costco or any of the other hundreds of places that sell groceries.

If the ILWU goes on a slowdown strike, the port authority cannot simply fire them all and hire replacements. Firstly, that is outright illegal in America and secondly, there is no competition anyway. The ILWU has a monopoly on the supply of longshoremen. If all the grocers were entered into a cartel agreement to not sell milk below a certain price, then you'd have a point. There's no evidence that this is the case.

But all longshoremen are entered into an agreement not to sell labor below a given price. This agreement is their union membership with the ILWU.
I do think there is truth in hospital systems slowly eroding the profession of nurse and physician to further cement their control over the future of health care. See traveler nurses and NP/PAs in hospital systems.
This is exactly why I hate the way Python3 handles Unicode.

EVERY language should _try_ to handle Unicode such that if a data sequence were valid before it remains valid after. NONE should ever FORCE validation, since sometimes, like in the article's case, the correct answer is GIGO. Just pass it through and hope it continues to work. Sometimes the error is trying to enforce that validation.
M1 only uses around 15-18w with all 8 cores active according to Anandtech's review (with E-cores using 1/10 the power, that's equivalent to just a little less than 4.5 big cores. I'd guess 30w for all cores would be the upper-end power limit for the cores.

Intel's "TDP" is a suggestion rather than reality. Their chips often hit 60-80 watts of peak power before hitting thermals and being forced to dial back.
There are very few places along the Pacific Coast of the US that are reasonable as ports.

Puget Sound, the San Francisco Bay, and southern California are pretty much it. Portland is 100 miles from the ocean; only smaller ships can reach it. Astoria and Eureka have terrible connections on the land side.

You could think about starting a new port at, say, Santa Monica or San Clemente. It could be done. You'd have to build a breakwater, a bunch of piers, and you'd have to buy a huge amount of land for facilities.

How much would it cost to buy, say, 10,000 acres and 20 miles of waterfront in Santa Monica? Yeah, that's why nobody has done it.

Expanding San Diego is about the only workable option.

Media outlets have a severe allergy to placing numbers in context, no matter who begs them to.

Only anecdotal of course but my aunt is a cross country truck driver that stopped delivering/picking up in CA because of those regulations.
Are there any nice tools for resolving cross references like this in a body of text?

I don't deal with legal documents enough (luckily) to have ever really needed this, but it would be a nice thing to know how to use if needed, or on creative document sets. Essentially I'm asking for something where I can import a set of machine readable text (or OCR'd) set a grammar for references in context and then easily click through. If it's easy enough to extend the grammar I could probably link new things up as I go when new kinds of references pop up. Trying to get too smart about things like acronyms might be a step too far though, I want to be able to trust this tool completely.

Apparently the addition of the RSX was a last minute modification of the console. They got hit by the same dennard scaling issue that killed of the Netburst derived architectures too [0].

Imagine being a programmer earning 60k. Now imagine that your company has a time crunch, During that time crunch they are expecting you to work 80+ hours a week.

Now imagine that because of said crunch they say "Hmm, we need some contractors to speed this up." So they hire just enough to reduce your hours from 80 to 75.

Now imagine how you'd feel learning all those contractors are earning $120k and with your skill set, you could to if you left your employer (because there's a high demand for devs everywhere). Not only that, but you have a lot more flexibility in your hours and no longer need to do 80+ hour weeks.

What would you do?

Wage is a huge factor here and the nurses leaving aren't necessarily leaving nursing but instead turning into travel nurses. This creates the vicious cycle the hospitals are currently experiencing.

Hospitals have 2 levers to pull to fix this problem.

1. Increase wages so less nurses feel inclined to leave for more money.
2. Increase the number of travel nurses so current nurses aren't pressured into insane and demanding work hours.

The lever they are pulling instead, is "hire just enough travel nurses for minimal compliance (maybe) and buy little caesars pizza... maybe. Then complain to media outlets about how lazy nurses are."

The reason hospitals aren't fixing this problem is simple. Once they raise their nurses salaries, they will have a HARD time lowering them again.

I can very much relate to this but also have very little sympathy here.

I have a special character in my name, an apostrophe, and it causes trouble regularly online and with tooling. A number of years ago I decided just to never use it when it came to anything to do with technical work be it email, logins or usernames.

Unicode characters are a pain to deal with and I have suffered from it first hand trying to handle it. At the end of the day it is much easier just to not use the special characters and move on with your life rather then be battling the constant frustration.

I'm sure these tools have lots of issues opening and you would be surprised at the amount of time, effort and testing it would be required to provide fully Unicode support. Most people would see it as a very small positive and not worth the effort. I find it hard to disagree.

I’m not sure how Geekbench browser tests hold up to real world usage, but note that Apples ecosystem is WAY different compared to x86.

For starters, the chip isn’t general purpose compute, it’s more of an ASIC that is optimized to run the OS abstractions available through the official APIs (Think on screen animation such as rendering an image or detecting things in it. On x86, you implement the code and in some cases, proprietary libraries such as Intels MKL make it seemingly faster to run. On Apple Silicon, for such common use cases there are DEDICATED chip areas. Thus, an ASIC)
