That's current CCP propaganda. Because it's current, it wasn't being said when The Three Body Problem was written (first published 2006, afaik). Because it's propaganda, let's not cite it as fact.
That is not a typical experience with a Macbook Pro. Have you considered that maybe there's something wrong with yours?
> [Arch is a v]ery nice OS for server stuff if you're brave enough to wrangle pacman.

if you're running a homelab and regularly 'wrangling' a package manager which is broken/incomplete by design, why are you choosing distros based on package availability rather than on the quality of the tooling? surely you can package anything you need to use
It is the oil companies who are speaking truth. Yes, that is it.
The tradeoff I'm making is money vs capability. My argument is that most people don't need the capabilities offered by brand new, top of the line models. A used laptop that is a couple of years old is, I think, the best choice for most people.
Agree. The 90's and early/mid 00's Web brought most community-driven innovations in UI and community interaction idioms that the few sites of today's centralized Web merely rehash. And evolution in markup languages was envisioned to liberate users from proprietary and idiosyncratic front-end tech. It wasn't the Web that brought this to an end, but the power grab of "browser vendors" coupled with the naivite/corruptness of 2010's startup scene.
I had an XPS 15 which I thought was absolutely amazing. (The first gen with the infinity edge screen)

I eventually traded in for a MacBook Pro for about the same cost (needed to do iOS dev).

The XPS was probably one of the best Windows laptops I'd used. It's still my go to recommendation when someone wants a good, developer laptop and Windows.

However, like you said, the XPS build is nowhere near a comparable MacBook Pro. I'd say the closest I've used in terms of build quality to a Mac is the Razer or Surface Book laptops.
You've missed the rest of the sentence.

I wonder how well ARM64 is supported in the Docker community?
Presumably x86 Docker images running in emulation would be even slower than ARM64 images running in a Linux VM.

Though as you note they're completely different classes of hardware (500W vs. 26.5W), a more Apples-to-Apples (so to speak) comparison would be native Ubuntu on both systems, though as I understand it Ubuntu for M1 is not complete and may lack GPU support and other important features.
Agreed, I know architects who only do interior layouts.

how far away are we from a scenario for something like cancer? take a biopsy, few days later formulate antibodies/immunotherapy, have a targeted treatment within a week... it would be revolutionary...
Is there consensus on what to do about it?

Yes, his inability to do so is one of the reasons he is clown. An inability to accept responsibility for himself is a personal failing. It's weak.

I wonder also how much funding is granted to researchers aiming at prove it compared to how much funding is granted in proving the opposite, to see if there's a significant deviation between funding and claims or if the percentage is an artefact of financing.

wow curiosity triggered someone downvotes already? good, the more you bury legitimate comments, the sooner people will start questioning if the game is rigged.
Not really. Consensus is used all the time when a definitive answer isn't possible or attained. Most people assume the Riemann hypothesis is true and then build from there. Sometimes a definitive answer isn't possible yet.

HN readers in Hungary are just waking up to this news, but I can confirm that's a pretty decent approximation.
It's a literature review. Pretty common.
That presumes rationality outside the market. All models are approximations of reality, even value investing based on fundamentals.
Man this comments section is a cesspool.

The reality is that consensus does play a part in science, this is because intuition also plays a large part - both in guiding experimentation but also in interpreting findings.

Consensus is the mechanism used to translate scientific findings into actionable advice/recommendations/engineering. Without it nothing would ever happen. Science is always full of unknowns, consensus allows us to move forward in absence of complete information (because such a thing often doesn't exist).

The means by which scientists and engineers reach consensus are very different from politicians and other soft studies.
Because of the role peer review plays in the scientific community consensus is built up over time, not through discussion but rather through experimental results and verified data. Consensus is less "we sat around and decided X is true" but rather "there is an overwhelming amount of data that suggests this is true". This is often translated into models which spur further experiments to attempt to verify or disprove these models (for instance the LHC and the Higgs boson as a high profile example).

So no. 99% consensus in science isn't that uncommon and no it's generally not a bad thing. A big difference is also that in science it only takes a single very compelling counter-point to significantly disrupt consensus. See here Einstein's photo electric effect or his theory of relativity - both disrupted fairly intrenched consensus.

This latter point is very important because unlike scientists soft fields often struggle to break consensus even in the face of overwhelming evidence. Everyone feels like they should get an "opinion" and that scientists are just voicing "opinions". This leads to people equating the voice of relatively uninformed individuals with that of scientists. I don't know this can be resolved but if it could be it would allow society to move forward at a much faster rate.
I find it interesting that you correlate these two things and that your instinctual reaction to those who hold such beliefs is suspicion, distrust, and a general negative value judgement on the individual, as opposed to understanding, empathy, and acceptance of worldviews other than your own. this kind of behavior seems increasingly common and downright socially acceptable with regards to these topics and a few key others—it's a fascinating phenomenon to witness. most people are mostly good people, regardless of whether they agree with you on things such as these. it probably wouldn't hurt to reflect on where such dogmatic negative generalizations about large swaths of people you've never met stem from internally, because it's not a very productive lens to view the world through (again, despite being increasingly common and socially accepted (or even expected in some cases!)).

A new M1 laptop is likely to last 4-5 years as a good specification of machine.

A second hand laptop has much less advantage to doing that.

I think this is a false economy.

“The poor man pays twice”

But regardless: the cost isn’t outrageous when compared to the Dell XPS/latitude or HP Elitebook lines (which are the only laptops I know of designed to last a 5y support cycle).

If you’re buying a new laptop, I don’t think I could recommend anything other than an M1 unless you don’t like Apple or MacOS. Which is fair.

> The article claims that "trans women in 2021 are among the most at-risk groups in US history". I looked into this and can find no corroboration.

The claim is also very extraordinary given that the US history also includes people who were literally enslaved and dehumanized to the point where murdering them was not an occurrence and, in some cases, even bred like cattle.
I'm not sure my kids would agree with that.
I spent a month in Japan. Most Japanese people live closer to how Americans live. Low density suburbs and very low density cities. Even in Tokyo you can purchase a small single family home in the suburbs with a driveway for what would be considered a very cheap price by American standards. You would take a 30-45 minute train into Tokyo. They also sound proof the nice condos in downtown really well and you can afford a fairly large two bedroom for around $1500 USD per month. They are also more creative with the dense city space and parking and allow parking on the sidewalk in designated spaces.

One thing that struck me walking around Osaka was a 7-11 that had parking like an American style one would with parking in front.

Driving into Kagoshima (bullet train was out due to landslide so we drove down) you're gonna see basically single family style dwellings all the way down hill into the city where it gets instantly dense but for only about 15 city blocks. Was dead AF at night. In a city like that you can own a car no problem and commute in. And that's how most Japanese live. Don't get it twisted. Japanese folks enjoy privacy as much as anyone else. Tokyo is the exception, not the rule. And even in Tokyo they will go to retreats out in the mountains regularly.

Tokyo is a great model for proper zoning in high density urban areas to prevent high costs but it's not how you live everywhere
Among my friends, we came to the idea that whether or not we each agree that humans caused climate change, we should still take care of the planet.

There is a lot more going on than greenhouse emissions. Soil health is in many ways, more vital, and mainstream commercial farming practices degenerate our soil year after year. We make poor use of water. Ocean acidification is problematic. It is impossible to sustainably fish — regenerative kelp and fish farms are a better practice. Diversity is how we can become more resilient, and we have been making it go away because diversity is too complex.

Growing and buying local, helping our neighbors will build stronger communities and resilient economies; thinking globally, systemically, and holistically allows each of us to contribute something meaningful for something greater than ourselves.

We can take care of the land, of each other, and still get our fair share.

I've had a model 3 for almost 2 years, I consider the autopilot a toy.

Superchargers are a huge advantage today, Tesla may partner with others to open their network, but they are going to charge, so it's far from apparent which cars will have access.

Status symbol, could care less. My previous cars were an Acura GSR (somewhat legendary when it came out for how ugly it was), Subaru WRX (quick, but ugly), forester (even uglier). I was shopping for something quick, fun, and RWD or AWD. Considered Golf R, Ford Focus RS, Subaru WRX/STI, various BMWs (1 series, 2 series, x1, m235i, etc), and Teslas.

Luxury ride. I've a Model 3P, 0-60 in 3 seconds, decent lap times at various tracks, and pretty competitive with today's semi-exotic rear engine corvette (0-60 in 2.9 seconds), and will beat quite a few of the corvette's on the road today in a 0-60. Not going to hang on a track with a new rear engine corvette. But way more practical, even pretty large costco trips can fit in a model 3 easily. Driving cross country with a kid, dog, and partner works well.

I cross shopped BMWs and model 3's. Ended up with the Telsa because of it delivering performance similar to some of the fastest BMWs (M3, m235i, etc), and the practicalities of a their larger/slower cars like the 335/x3. Without all the maze of expensive upgrades that BMW plays. Things like intentionally degrading the standard headlights to be significantly worse than a prius unless you pay a few $k for the good headlights. You know it's bad when the NHTSA has to embarass BMW and deny them the safety ratings until fixed. Seats that you have to pay for to fold down or have a ski passthru. Not to mention the new "wonder" 4 cyclinders (2 liter ish, turbo, 16v, etc) are getting pretty famous for exploding and leaving behind $30k engine repairs and BMW significantly shortening their engine warranties on their CPO cars.

I admit the giant touch screen was a turnoff at first, but now that I'm used to a giant map with working pinch/zoom and as responsive as a decent phone. I recently sat in a late modem 3 series and was pretty disappointed with the map/nav/entertainment system. It's really nice to have a giant responsive map (or sat mode if you prefer) built in. I'd much rather have that then a standard cockpit with a tiny map screen, often with the old/slow/gross capacitive touch screens that don't even allow pinch/zoom.
> People had enormous confidence that Newtonian physics was true UNTIL a better model proved to be more accurate (relativity). There is no problem with 100% consensus in science. There are still accepted methods to change the system when new ideas are actually better.

Newtonian Physics is a fine model as long as the speeds are not relativistic. Relativity was not the "replacement" and Relativity and Quantum Mechanics do not mesh at all.

If I am a Mechanical Engineer, I would not be applying Quantum Mechanics of Relativistic Theories. I would be applying classical theories.

> So has "humans cause climate change" gained trust over time, based on more and more evidence. It is the closest to truth we can be. It is perfectly plausible that a better theory may arise, but it's incredibly unlikely. We must accept it as fact until that time (which may happen centuries from now, or even never).

In the soviet union there was an idea of Lysenkoism was the accepted by it was politically expedient to do so. Those that didn't agree I would imagine had to leave the Soviet Union. In the same vain many people think that much of the agreement is politically motivated. I have no idea of how true that is. However telling people "well we all agree, shutup" will heighten suspicions not lower them.

That is an extreme example. However there was many times when many scientists all "agreed" because it was politically expedient or because other ideas were pushed out of the consensus due to various factors e.g. the Scablands is one such example:

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/article/channel...

Telling me that 99% of all scientists agree doesn't mean much when there is plenty of times where scientists in the past all agreed on the wrong thing.

I definitely think the climate is changing, but I am wrong to be suspicious when I am just told "well everyone agrees and shutup"?

> Because unlike relativity vs Newtonian physivs, math is not enough to show the validity of the process.

Neither is it for Relativity, Quantum Mechanics or Newtonian physics. People have verified the theories through experimentation.

They flew an atomic clock around the world twice to prove special relativity.

So they can design a new vaccine in a short time, test it in a few months, but has anyone been working on large scale production for new vaccines? Do we still need to be making the old vaccines while also ramping up the new ones if we need them (the old virus will still be around)? We already don't have enough vaccine for the world yet. Seems like even if we do have the capacity to manufacture a new vaccine we may not have the vials, syringes, and people needed to administer it, especially if China and India decide to
close their borders and vaccinate their own populations first. There have not been many news reports on the scale of preparations for a possible new variant that completely breaks through the current vaccines. I've only heard of a $100M attempt to reverse engineer the Moderna vaccine in Africa as part of a manufacturing capacity build up. Would it take yet another two years to roll out a new vaccine to the world, with corresponding lock downs and supply chain problems? Even if it only took a year that would still be a significant impact on the world. It's good that drug companies are working on this initial step, however by itself it is not enough.
Does this stiff actually work? I feel like if your reputation is bad enough that a name change doesn't really do anything. For example: no one thought Academi was anything other than Blackwater. In my mind those those names have always been synonymous.
Maybe say you have to pay for at least 1 whole day every time.
That was a view from the church which wasn't arrived at scientifically. Using it as a criticism of science thus seems unfounded.

Besides, modern climate scientists are hardly a mob. They collate data and come to their own conclusions. Those conclusions happen to agree, indicating a very strong position.
can't i do both?? but yeah burn out is real. i am experiencing that now
>the OS is worse

Worse than what?

Windows, that is even in 2021 is still a clanky garbage.

Or Linux (any distro) that can't be installed on a newest hardware without any trouble at all (my relatively recent experience).

An even then you get an OS that you have to fix yourself for it to work and feel remotely nice. Yet without decent software in most cases outside of software development.

> Consensus doesn't mean you're right, but it does mean that no one can find a serious flaw.

This assumes a very naive view that the average university researcher is trying to challenge prevailing theories on a daily basis. The reality is that challenging prevailing theories of science is near impossible in today's grant-chasing arena called academia. Do you really think a grant proposal that questions some of the prevailing views in climate science is going to get funded? And even if does get funded, good luck getting it published in any mainstream journal.
Csikszentmihalyi was Hungarian. I live in Hungary, and often work from a coffee shop called Flow with a Csikszentmihalyi quote on the wall, "Flow is being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz."

RIP
can you tell us the titles of the books you've read?
You'd literally be lynched by a mob if you were to do research to disprove any of it or in fact even question the means and methods. So I'm not surprised there's "consensus". That's not to say the consensus is incorrect here, that's just to say that it doesn't mean a whole lot. Under the normal circumstances scientists never 99% "agree" on anything.
Is that surprising? A TTY can be built and shipped as a single component - no ISP changes, no revisiting your entire network model, no reviewing every single thing that touches TCP/IP directly (load balancers, logging, HTTP libraries). IPv6 is a big thing to add in comparison.
> Science depends on consensus.

No, science depends on falsifiable theories being tested and proved. The whole point of science is to remove flawed, human bias, of which consensus depends on.
They are exceedingly verbose.

The most important part of a compiler error, to me, is location information. Use of colour (and possibly other formatting) to draw the eye directly to the site of the error is valuable. Sometimes this is enough, and the issue immediately becomes obvious. Sometimes it is not.

In the case where it is, and there are multiple errors, the proliferation of text obscures the display of code itself. I can scroll, sure; but the human-computer communication channel has high latency, so it is desirable to minimize synchronization overhead and round-trips.

In the case where it is not, my main priority is to identify the problem. I don't want to know why some form is problematic, I want to know which problem it is. With terse error messages there's a decent chance I'll memorize them over time, and recognise a given error message all at once by shape, rather than reading them word by word. Just as I memorize words and recognise them all at once, by shape, rather than letter by letter.

* * *

This conflict of 'why' vs 'which' is didactic. An inexperienced programmer might in fact want to know why their code is not working. But my own experience at this point is that, if it is not presently clear what is wrong with my code, what I need to study is my own code, not the error message.
Of course, my thoughts are that's fine so long as those proposing or supporting alternatives may still do so, rather than be silenced entirely.

This based on where political interference abuses the scientific consensus or manipulates it. As the OP said, there's a difference between science and consensus (not saying I disagree with the climate change consensus, I think it's absolutely an anthropogenic issue)
