LPDDR4x has various power levels based on whether it's actually being used or just keeping data from corrupting. The latter is much less memory intensive and runs at much lower voltages. You may have a point about SSD depending on how much read/write is happening.

Check out this comparison of the passively-cooled M1 Macbook Air vs both Intel and AMD Surface 4 machines.

https://youtu.be/7yTWGjYFiC0?t=509

TL;DR -- AMD loses 25-50% of their performance as soon as the plug is removed. Their actual power usage spikes at 40w (for a 10-25w U-series CPU). No matter how you cut it, Peak M1 power usage is about half for similar performance.

Insult to injury, the M1 not only has far better performance, but it's also cheaper.
Indeed. Telsa's will keep batteries at reasonable temperatures when plugged in, but not optimal. There is a departure setting available so you can make sure your battery is full and at the ideal temperature for any scheduled departures.
Being smart and having new ideas isn't that great either. You still need people to believe in the idea and/or resources to pursue it.

I have various ideas and I'm not even that smart. They wont go anywhere because I dont have the time or money to pursue them. Plus, it's hard to come up with something truly new. Even if the item doesn't exist, it's probably patented (ran into that recently).

"So what are the other ingredients in having new ideas?"

The willingness to think about how and why things work or are broken, coupled with sufficient cross-domain knowledge to synthesize new ideas.

I don't understand how this isn't hackable. Wouldn't someone be able to just reverse engineer this Orb device, and then create millions of fake iris hashes in the ETh blockchain? If they are handing out free crypto for new users, one per new iris hash uploaded, why not just bypass the physical scanning process and upload a gazillion randomly generated hashes?

It's nice to know the actual factual content of "What's The Matter With Kansas" is completely irrelevant. It doesn't matter who's correct, it matters who hurt their feelings. Which is pretty consistent - conservatives have become utterly disconnected from reality, and their absurd COVID policy has demonstrated what happens when reality doesn't give a crap how you feel.

It's rational for them to lobby against GMO labeling because it's a lose-lose proposition, even if they honestly believe their food is safe and eat it themselves. Either it scares off consumers (some of whom won't know what GMO means but understandably assume it's bad because it's disclosed) or they have to spend a bunch of money on "consumer education" and lose some of them anyway.

That's whether GMOs are safe or not.

Water companies would also lobby against "Warning: heavy water" and Cisco would lobby against "gigahertz radiation" labels, but not because they have something to hide.
I'd firmly disagree. Workers has an implication of voluntary, paid work. There's a reason we have a specific word for unpaid, non-voluntary work. Not to mention slavery extended beyond work. Being a slave was not only backbreaking unpaid labor, but also a whole host of horrors outside work such as rape, family separation, forced breeding, torture, etc. Calling slaves "workers" is a deeply inaccurate categorization.

Plus one on this.

Work ethic is super important. The ability to grind on your ideas. And I think having some extrovert nature really helps in getting your ideas out there.

I was Paul's definition of smart, w/o good ideas. I loved to learn things. But I didn't really have the work ethic to build new things. I feel like I've done fine in life, but had you asked my middle school and high school teachers -- and even university... I've probably underperformed.

In contrast my son is bright, but not the academic star I was. But he has crazy work ethic in ideas he cares about. I've really nurtured his work ethic and played down the "smart" academic angle. If wants to finish a personal project and not study for that French quiz -- I'm fine with that. He gets an A-/B+ for the year, rather than an A. So what. The passion he pours into his ideas though is great and I think will serve him better over the course of his life.
Dan Luu interprets confusion from his lack of explanation as people thinking he is stupid. It almost seems the other way around, Dan Luu is the one who thinks other people are stupid (Apple Store clerk, insurance salesperson) because they don't know what he knows.

Depending on what you mean; assuming it's the security angle:

TLDR; carefully

At a high level, most of our customers are testing in QA - not production - so usually the only proprietary information (outside of credentials to access it) we'd see is something they'd be releasing shortly anyway. However, we take security seriously;

Our infrastructure and code is heavily tested + reviewed before shipping, as well as externally audited yearly. Currently we're checked yearly for HIPAA, and from this have strong internal controls / processes, documentation and guidelines around access controls, how-things-are-done, and audited. Everything is encrypted at rest and transit (db, logs, images, etc). All the testing is done through our infra, recorded (video, kvm) and logged (http, https, dns, etc). Obviously we never re-use a VM, they're destroyed post use.

From the crowd side, they test using the same machines as automation uses (i.e. all the same logging levels as above). Additionally, each individual is KYC'd and signs an NDA with us before they can work. Enterprise, or folks needing BAAs have a sub-crowd with extra levels of KYC / other requirements.

We're currently early in starting being formally SOC 2, but it's not complete. More details here - https://go.rainforestqa.com/rs/601-CFF-493/images/Rainforest...

>Some would attribute the difference between intelligence and having new ideas to "creativity," but this doesn't seem a very useful term. As well as being pretty vague, it's shifted half a frame sideways from what we care about: it's neither separable from intelligence, nor responsible for all the difference between intelligence and having new ideas.

I find this dismissiveness of creativity to be somewhat strange. It's by definition, what he should be looking for. I can't help but think he's got a paradigm in mind for finding 'new ideas' and feels like creativity is too outside the box for it.
Yeah, though with the method described in that paper you do have to be very careful since it has exponential error growth with the Lipchitz constants of the ODE. See https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0060697 for details. But that is generally the case in numerical analysis: there's always a simple way to do things, and then there's the way that prevents error growths. Both have different pros and cons.
> Observe kids playing games in real life, they are very rarely as vulgar or sadistic as on online games.

Kids are actually rarely vulgar or sadistic when playing online as well. The toxicity of online gaming communities is a self-reinforcing feedback loop. The toxic kids find a home and either drive all the nice kids out with their toxicity or prompt the nice kids to adapt and internalize toxic ways of engaging. It's not an inherent feature of kids themselves and plenty of online games that were explicitly targeted at children have been perfectly fine without epidemics of griefing or abuse as long as they constrain kids to playing within their own friend-groups rather than against strangers.

Most of the foulest people are actually adults with jobs or surly teenagers. The kids are fine.
DB is owning all German railroads. They operate the vast majority of trains. They do share their network with competitors, e.g. FlixTrain. Not sure, but I do think SNCF in France is also owning French railroads.

Some minor clarifications: NeuralODEs are not a Julia invention. I am pretty sure the first papers on the topic were using a python package implementing a rather crude ODE solver in torch or tensorflow. Julia just happens to be light years ahead of any other tool when it comes to solving ODEs, while having many high-quality autodifferentiation packages as well, so it feels natural to use it for these problems. But more importantly, SciML is not just for your typical Machine Learning tasks: being able to solve ODEs and have autodiff over them is incredibly empowering for boring old science and engineering, and SciML has become one of the most popular set of libraries when it comes to unwieldy ODEs.
This reminds me of today's politicians opposing green energy. Some of the same sorts of arguments only our folks aren't doing it satirically.

I preface mine with "In the words of the great philosopher Yankovic, I am going to dare to be stupid ..."

Partially, because in IT -- seemingly more than in other industries -- variations of the phrase "Why haven't you just ..." arise, "just" being that magical simplifier which compacts all complexity into a single and obvious step, and often come with some measure of "why haven't the boffin pressed the button, I told the boffin that the button needs to be pressed" attitude, and I do not want to do that to someone else.

The other portion of it is being the rubber duck, quack quack.
As a consumer, i want app stores. It's million times better than the default Windows situation downloading random binaries off the Internet. Code signing and malware signature matching are at best bandaids on a waterfall.

If I have a video up in portrait, and tap on or pause the video to expose the UI elements that overlay the video (Chromecast, closed caption, and overflow buttons), they're all at the top of the phone. The Chromecast button is obscured by the notch and I cannot get the visible part to respond to taps.

The corner of the closed caption button is covered, and it's partially overlapping the radio signal indictators. There seems to be only a very small portion of the bottom edge of the button that responds to taps. It's very hard to tap successfully.

The overflow button is not obscured by the notch, but is partially overlapping the battery indicator. Like the closed caption button, there seems to be only a small portion of the bottom edge of it that will respond to taps.

It's so frustrating.

Here's a screenshot showing it, except for the notch which Apple doesn't include in screenshots: https://i.imgur.com/0KDIWEB.jpg

The notch covers the top half of the Chromecast button, and just touches the top-left corner of the closed caption button (the notch is curving back up, at that point).
Every general statement is false in some way. The average trends are important. E.g. people that consume more fear-driven media tend to have a lower grasp on perceived risk.
I try to lead by example on this one - particularly in front of customers or other junior team members. There is a huge hazard in training people to avoid looking like they are doing the wrong thing. Most of our struggle today is extracting useful information from the business so we can deliver a properly-configured product to them. You don't want anyone to feel like they are being persecuted for not knowing something or you will not be able to get much worthwhile information out of them.

The way I push myself in front of the stupid bus is by intentionally putting myself into situations where I cannot possibly provide a 100% smooth delivery. For example, instead of spending an hour to refresh myself on a complex code question before hopping on a 1:1 screenshare (presumably so I can look like a total smartass), I will ask the other teammember to fire up a screenshare right away without any planning. The consequence is that I inevitably look a little lost every time and the other team member has to remind me of the gaps as we go through the problem.

Over time, I believe this builds a strong sense that even the lead/architect is not better than anyone else and that we all have an ongoing role in keeping each other synchronized on the relevant domain knowledge.
> review is absolutely necessary

Wholeheartedly disagree. I download software on Linux and Mac frequently without ever having it reviewed.

I buy physical products that have sensors. These don't get scrutinized.

If we truly need a "health inspector", then it should be a third party. Not the mafia that makes the device and frequently launches competing apps and features.

And it seems totally uneven that websites can access and deal in the same data, yet they escape review.

It's an invented charade that is brutally unfair.
The 2018 was widely considered to be overly pressured (contrary to the usual Rust approach of shipping it when it’s ready), which led to burnt out compiler devs, and a bunch of people with unmet expectations. I think the approach to decouple Big Bang features from editions has been made in response to that.
Great news for anyone building business based on IAP/Subscriptions on Google Play. It is really sad to see mostly negative views on the topic.

Here are important benefits compared to previously made changes by google:

1. Subscription revenue share drops to 15% instead of 30% without 1 million/year limit.

2. E-Books and Music Streaming services will pay 10% instead of 30%.

This is great news not only for developers on google Play but also iOS Developers, it will put pressure on Apple to cut Apple Tax further.

For most kinds of tea, boiling is fine or even preferred if the tea is of good quality. I would never steep any of the white teas I own below 90°C, and most days I prefer boiling. Likewise with green (and yellow) tea, unless Japanese. Oolongs and blacks I always steep at boiling.

I 100% believe that the true issue is religion.

The Church, as an institution, is dying. In their death throes they are basically doing everything they can to turn back the clock on society to a time they played an important role in dictating how we live. Every societal problem we have today is a result of Christian, Muslim and Jewish religions preaching their versions of ignorance and intolerance, every single Saturday and Sunday to millions and millions of Americans across the country.

Economic conservatives hate ignorance too - you need math skills to count your profits and to best gauge how to screw over your minimum wage employees, an accurate sense of history and economics in order to best manipulate markets and legal skills to avoid IRS and SEC penalties. They are just as frustrated with general stupidity as the rest of us.

But religious conservatives? They're fucking insane. They really, really, really believe what the Church tells them, and the shit the Church says is truly, truly, batshit crazy and has been for millennia. I personally know of people who truly worry about the "mark of the beast" from the COVID vaccination because that's what their Church says. In 2021 this should not be possible.

Until the secular American people realize who the real enemy is and go after the Church and all its leaders, in real, concrete ways, we're going to spend the rest of our lives dealing with this shit.
>I also suggested a mechanism to stay anonymous as long as you are not causing problems.

And who decides what constitutes "causing problems?"

While the vast majority of us (at least I hope so) would agree that violence and murder focused on a particular ethnic, religious or other group is a "problem," most other things have much less widespread support.

I have some fairly unpopular ideas, as well as some that are more readily accepted.

Should I be doxxed for expressing the thought that all drugs should be legal? For complaining vociferously about the business models of big social media companies?

In fact, it doesn't really matter what position I take on pretty much anything (vi vs. emacs, vanilla vs. chocolate ice cream, pandemic policies, etc., etc., etc.), there are those who will disagree -- sometimes with respectful argument/discussion, sometimes with hyperbole and personal attacks, and depending on the topic, even with violence.

There are some places in the US where criticizing Trump could get me ostracized, beaten or killed. And yet other places where taking the opposite position could have a similar effect.

The hundred or so Hong Kong journalists and activists that are sitting in jails for advocating that the government adhere to its own constitution are there because they were "causing problems."

And so I'll pose my question again: Who decides whether or not you, I or anyone else is "causing problems?"
What do you mean by "more" people? Perhaps you mean people who know? Anyone who solves a differential equation in Julia is using the SciML ecosystem of packages. The Julia ecosystem is about 1M users, and lots of people in that ecosystem use these tools.

I mean yes there is definitely criticism on higher ed and what value students are getting for the now extremely high price tag, but to say that this is what is the issue is definitely missing the point

That's true with rural minded people everywhere.
