It doesn't have to happen overnight, they could just provide greater support for trade unions and co-operatives.

And nationalisation of "private property" and land reforms have happened outside of communist governments, e.g. in Nasser's Egypt, the Mexican oil reserves, Mossadegh and the Iranian oil reserves, the Shah's White Revolution, etc.

My whole point is that communism and communist parties didn't need to be seen as some radical "other" system, but could have become more moderate as society gradually accepted strong trade unions, co-operatives, and nationalised resources without the Cold War (much like the transitions to parliamentary democracy). Unfortunately the Cold War polarised everything, and now we're stuck with a society where the existence of billionaire is sacrosant.

I mentioned San Marino because they were governed by the communist party for 10 years, and weren't so extreme - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammarinese_Communist_Party

Yes, you gotta get a license but honestly after you get past the basics you'll probably fly better than Harrison Ford with little issue.

All of Apple’s hardware devices sold in the US are manufactured in China, with the exception (I think?) of the Mac Pro. Their chips are fabbed in Taiwan. This has been the case the decades and is pretty much common knowledge. Nobody is hiding anything.
The thing is that the people at agencies like the CDC are literally paid to know.

The CDC has a Center for Preparedness and Response[1] dedicated to "advancing the nation’s preparedness and response for public health emergencies and threats", which receives over a billion dollars annually, hosts an Epidemic Intelligence Service conference every year, etc.

How can one reconcile the amount of money and resources allocated to the CDC programs that were supposed to help protect the US from pandemic threats with the embarrassingly inept response?

I flew from Taiwan to Singapore in late February 2020 and literally everyone on the plane (passengers and flight crew) were wearing masks even though IIRC masks were not required at the time. By then, it had been patently obvious to laypeople in Asia for weeks that this thing was spreading via the air. And yet you had America's top health officials telling people in early March they didn't need to worry about masking.

Legally, probably. According to proper etiquette, far from it.
Apple is expensive, they don't know what they're doing, it's not really Pro, etc, etc, etc. These unique and new complaints about Apple must keep their executives up at night as they execute mistake after mistake, only becoming the most valuable company in the world through continual Acts of God.

Show me another laptop that does all these things:

1. Benchmarks >12000 in Cinebench R23 (i.e., very solid CPU performance)

2. GPU benchmarks at or above an RTX 3060 laptop

3. Over 10 hours battery life for typical light web browsing tasks

4. Under 40dB of noise at full fan speed

5. No loss of benchmarking performance after 30 minutes of load (i.e., no thermal throttling)

They don't exist. Apple is selling a literal unicorn and you're complaining that the unicorn should come with glitter.
Indeed. One actually useful case I found was using an rpi with shairport-sync + owntone to allow airplay streaming. I got a quality DAC from hifiberry [0].

Another use was running HomeAssistant, but I migrated that to my real server.

Another use is having an external InfluxDB + Grafana monitoring setup so I can view stats even if the server goes down.

Lastly, you can take X amount of raspberry pis and run a kubernetes cluster with k3s. [1]

Since I don't play with my cluster much, most of my pis just sit around gathering dust...

> Backpropagation itself is not biologically plausible because, among other things, real neurons can’t just stop processing the external world and wait for backpropagation to begin — if they did, we’d end up with lapses in our vision or hearing.

Counterpoint: Our brain works around "lapses in our vision" constantly. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronostasis or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_spot.

(Not saying that makes backpropagation biologically plausible, but as phrased, their argument is not convincing.)

I don't like the notch, but the 120Hz is nice to have (we also scroll and have transitions on a computer). I don't use HDMI anymore, but it doesn't hurt to have it. SD Cards? That's what my camera uses, so it will be used. Touch bar? I have no use for it (in fact I use it with the old style layout). PR? Ignore it. My main "issue" with the new laptops is the price and the notch (I don't mind the lack of face ID).

Different people have different needs. This laptop probably isn't for you.
I can't help but think this "whistleblowing" is only good for Facebook's bottom line. I haven't seen anything pop up that's shocking or needed an internal person to be leaking it -- "it's bad for kids," "they don't censor enough hate speech," etc.

It just seems to me that it's setting up for a bunch of new legislation that only allows section 230 protection if platforms implement a ton of moderation that only the existing, big player platforms could possibly keep up with, ensuring that smaller platforms (or ones that don't want to censor as much) could never hope to exist. Facebook gets to censor more, keeping controversial stuff off their site, and they don't even take the blame because "it's the law," PLUS all potential competition is gone. Sounds great for Zuck!
I wouldn't think the cracking risk is worse than my 2015 MBP: the glass runs all the way up to the bezel at the edge, which is maybe 2 - 3mm, so not that different to the new machines.

To my layman knowledge, backpropagation was never modelled on real neurons, if only because we didn't think that neurons could do it.

At any rate, the degree to which neural networks are modelled on neurons, despite the name, is vastly overstated. A neuron and a ReLU are very different beasts.
I'm not talking about social signals, but people going like "sorry what, could you repeat the last point" when called out.
the parent doesn't have to memoise the component though. You can do this:

export default React.memo(function myComponent(props) {

though you would likely want to set displayName before exporting, in reality.
Why do you think that's not what we're trying to do? I am politically active against my local police because their violent policies affect /me/ and people I care about.
>I doubt FB would want a government telling them what to do. I mean thanks to the GDPR on the one end and Apple on the other, they really had to tone down the gathering of their primary source of income - user data.

you're assuming the regulations would revolve around privacy/tracking. I think politicians/the public care far less about that, and more about censorship/"destroying democracy" or whatever.

That's a big one, unless you're doing actual IO on the Pi itself, if you have a server you can likely virtualize or docker whatever you were going to do with the Pi.

Does anyone have experience with the processor they're including?

I ask because I recently had to switch back to Windows for my work laptop after about 7 years of running OpenSUSE Linux[0] and have been looking to buy a less powerful laptop as a second work machine running Linux[1].

I have zero experience with the Intel Pentium Silver N5030 processor -- I'm guessing that line of processors is what replaced Atom. I haven't looked at that series in a while but in the early days I found them to be unusable -- 80% slower than what I was used to.

I'm looking at light development/debugging work as the target, pretty much "living out of the browser and the terminal" with the majority of development done on my workstation-grade laptop.

[0] Honestly pretty happy with Windows 11/WSLg, which is nice since the app I'm supporting would be very difficult to do in a development environment on Linux...my personal PCs still run Tumbleweed :)

[1] I don't mind running virtual machines as I am currently, but it's more convenient to have another laptop to swivel too, sometimes.
Across my roles in the past 10 years or more, I've probably spent more than the average amount of time in f2f meetings - and I am someone that enjoys a great f2f meeting or ideas generation/problem solving session.

When we first moved to video due to covid I was exhausted every single day. I grew to hate video calls. But how much of this was my inexperience with the tech, my own lockdown tiredness and just the general funk of life at the time, I cannot say.

18 months later I LOVE video calls. I love the fact that I'm in my own comfy quite space, I love the fact that I can move from standing to sitting and back without distracting those on The calls. I love that I can turn my video and mic off and have a pace around or eat some food.

It is great - and yes as you say the video helps hugely.

Years ago I was working with an international team that my local team were struggling with. Each day we'd be in a phone call and I could feel the tension simmering. Then we got video going, saw we were all humans and got back in the problem, solved it and came out of the delivery good friends. I swear being able to see them and knowing they could see us changed everything about how we worked together and behaved.
Leaked documents have revealed that Google has been conspiring to hide the names of streets from anyone using Google Maps. “They’ll have to zoom all the way in to see them,” an internal memo reads. Nobody has any idea why

I have no idea if it's correlated but gmail asked me for a street address when logging in.
Server side rendering also nicely avoids the multiple round trip problem the author mentioned given browsers are inherently request / response so forces one stream of html output.

While you can be careful about round trips with client side rendering, and graphql helps in that regard, it’s easy to create hidden bottlenecks.

That's not a limitation of the European format, which is in fact not agreed on in the original resolution [1]. Your country is doing it wrong. In the UK, where the format has been set in 2014 so still in an EU context, the limit is 60 (30 for surnames, 30 for the rest).

Interestingly, it looks like we're actually going backwards on this: accented characters have actually been dropped from the main passport page in recent years, to be replaced with ICAO transliterations. Which is shameful, to be honest, since it implies passports are now incomplete as a form of ID (unless the real name is recorded somewhere else). Airline lobbying clearly won the day, years ago. This seems to be a UK-only thing at this point.

The whole study is an like a hammer looking for a nail, there is no evidence for anything like backprop, “credit assignment” or reinforcement learning in the human or other animal brain.

This would require some kind of global “teaching signal” and iterative optimization which is not biologically plausible.
Indeed, before I clicked the link I thought this was about replacing the entire IT infrastructure (servers, laptops and PCs) by RPis.

You didn't quite understand the protagonist's problem and his motivation to commit crime.
Not really. On petrol cars, if you let go of the clutch in 1st gear and not pushing on the gas, you'll most likely stall. Diesels often don't do this, and creep instead (all of this assuming you're letting go of the clutch slowly enough, otherwise, you'll stall for sure)
The bigger thing probably is that if you search for products, and then click on search results for them, the shops etc you click will of course leak that info.
With Cuba, it's more about how you define communism. China has successfully transitioned into a mostly capitalist economy while keeping the one party control.

Cuba has also liberalized their economy but is trying to keep one party in control. Cuba recognized private property in 2018, but even before that time there was a huge black market that was tolerated because it provided necessary goods and services.

OP's headline: Everyone hates DDG!

Stats from site: 70% of users give average to highest ratings - mostly highest.

There are a few complaints about DDG tracking users or whatnot - but w/o evidence. One user claimed he got Instagram ads for a product he searched on DDG. Another user is angry DDG didn't overturn AZ election results or something.

A year ago, a security researcher found a data leak in DDG's Android browser, involving favicons. He submitted to DDG who promptly fixed it. ref: https://www.hackread.com/duckduckgo-collects-user-without-br...

If one wants to complain about DDG, how about that they don't respect search operands? That adds a lot of suck.

No human being should be tortured.

That being said, is it not even worse that this guy was just a taxi driver and they knew they had the wrong guy.

If you're CIA and complicit in mayhem around the world in general and the ME in particular, the risk of getting captured and tortured seems to me to "come with the territory".

That doesn't make it right, obviously, but for God's sake the poor guy was just a random taxi driver and got tortured and imprisoned by the "leader of the free world". Probably noone will ever be held accountable either.
Hey, thanks for this comment. Do you know of other places besides HN that also have this combination of "no stupid questions" and quality discussion?
I guess that Parallels wouldn't spend engineering resources without some agreements from Microsoft.

I, personally, need properly virtualized x86 Windows. Might be slow, whatever, even Windows XP is enough for me. Without x86 Windows I would need to rent a VM and that's a nuisance.

Is it possible to just directly run qemu in some kind of emulation mode? I know that docker runs x86 containers, so there should be some way.

Emulating x86 is one thing that stops me from ordering Macbook.

Having a disability that isn't visible, I deal with this problem all the time.

The underlying issue is thinking of other's behavior as if it it was own behavior and then determine the other person's motivates from that assumption.

If you don't understand someone else, you'll assume their reasons for a specific thing are the same as if you were doing that thing.

Example: I take more days off than I have PTO for.

Conclusion: I'm claiming to have a disability to get to have more vacation days.

Reality: I've gone six months without any kind of vacation and many of my weekends spent barely recovering from work. My disability has taken so much from me that I find it hard to justify staying alive.

When I get back to work, people ask how my vacation was.
In this comment you've made a claim that GQL is not only weaker than REST here, but notoriously weaker. The only argument that you seem to have made here is that a REST call "can" do the same type of things that are built into GraphQL.

You haven't supported your position that GraphQL is weaker at all. Everything that I have read, seen and heard is exactly the opposite. GraphQL seems to be the "I will never go back to REST" experience for virtually everybody I know in the field who has used it.

The other issue is that you're fighting the nature of REST itself to make it do more. Sure, you can make any API call take in specific input and send out exactly the output that you need...but REST API guidelines tend to preach exactly the opposite approach. The call should return one thing and if you want more, you need to get it yourself.

I'm open to hearing your perspective on this, but if you're going to make a claim like that you really need to support it.
In product design within a large (or even medium) organization it takes strong institutional restraint to avoid generating camels (horses designed by committee). The way that Apple appears to have consistently avoided that pitfall (for whatever other pitfalls they did fall into) is to heavily empower a single person to make the fundamental design decisions and to be the source of red light/green light for the rest of the designs. Both Jobs and Ives filled that role with varying degrees of success; it will be interesting to see what institutional structure arises with Ives mostly out of the picture.

Remember, Apple is sustaining the one of the highest-cap businesses on Earth, with ~200k employees, on approximately 10 hardware products. That takes an immense amount of focus.
