I guess I'll forever be apologizing for that post, but (as I mentioned in another, after digging into their technology) there was no mention of the novelty of their approach to generation in Sam's announcement. So "they have built a generator that produces electricity" has little meaning outside of the context of most commonly-known methods of generating electricity from fusion, i.e., heat.

I think if I were a billionaire investing in fusion technologies, I think I'd be sure to mention my investment's special sauce when I drop a few sticks on it.
Apparently if you don't like what you're employer is doing you need to keep quiet?
There was an app where each one of you had to left-swipe/right-swipe through a list of randomly selected names, and the app would tell you when both of you liked the same name.
ok I didn't know they opened that. that's wonderful.
At least JS can be 50X faster than Python and it has TS.

As I understand it, wlroots is more of a library that you can build a Wayland compositor on top of (sway being one example). It's not a compositor in and of itself.

It still might be a good choice for LXQt if they do plan on supporting Wayland, though.
> In the federal voting rights lawsuit, U.S. District Judge Mark Walker on Thursday blocked efforts by plaintiffs to question a representative of the governor’s office to see whether it played a role in UF’s decision to block the testimony by the professors. But Walker added that he was “not saying there is no issue here,” and openly speculated in his ruling that federal prosecutors could pursue felony witness-intimidation charges and said the plaintiffs might sue over the matter in civil court.

Hopefully they don't just drop the matter here and actually pursue criminal and/or civil cases as suggested. There needs to be repercussions for this shit beyond just "oops, nevermind."
Establishing legal consequences is our only mechanism of legitimate control. If you can be threatened with fines, and with arrest for non-compliance with the fines, then you are being controlled. Tyranny of the majority is a thing. This is why laws are an extremely blunt instrument. If people were truly interested privacy, they would simply boycott businesses that violate it. If they don't, there clearly isn't enough interest to possibly justify the use of force.
Maybe related to Firefox/Chrome cake history...
At the same time, there's plenty of things that people "know" that turns out to be false when examined closely. It's good that someone tries to verify things using as robust a methodology as possible.
Maybe Zac is fully-aware. He just has different values, values I definitely don’t agree with, but it’s also his own opinion.

I don’t see why anyone would expect Meta to be different. People’s core values don’t usually change over time.
> If you don't know clocks is slang for clockspeed, you're out of your depth. So just stop talking.

I phrased that badly. I was talking about the second quote there.

It's a little bit subtle.

The first quote says it will raise clock speeds.

The second quote says it will operate outside of specifications.

But nowhere does it say the clock speeds will be outside the specification.

It's raising the power limits outside the specification so that it can raise clock speeds inside the specification.

> And you're saying that technical documents from AMD don't know what they're talking about (it's a technical document. It's a technical article.)

If you can quote me something from AMD that specifically says PBO (not AutoOC) raises the maximum clock speed above the number you can boost to within spec, I will admit I was wrong and apologize. But the page you linked doesn't say that.
Looks like the page's canonical URL (which our software switched to) had that problem:

<link rel="canonical" href="https://chris.manson.ieit's-all-gravy/">

Fixed above now. Thanks!
Erm. Are there any laws that you're okay with, then? "Murder is bad", "People should get paid for the use of copyrighted works", Freedom of Speech, private property existing, the modern concept of a fair trial... every one of those is a value judgement.
It's one thing to choose to not eat meat yourself. It's another thing to force other people to not eat meat. I wish that entire political party would get voted out and replaced by people who would immediately repeal that law.
One persons moderation is another persons censorship. The activity of moderation is indistinguishable from the activity of censorship. The only difference is which group decides the censorship is acceptable.

If moderation is just the current group in power gets to decide what is moderation and what is censorship then I fail to see the difference. You just redefined the centralization because I guarantee that group will be smaller than the rest of the internet.
I absolutely adore orca.

Data and instructions are just the same thing (single characters), and can go from being one to being the other. Combine that with the fact that the program "executes" on the same surface that you write it, like the editor is at the same time your 2D canvas and the program modifies itself by 2D animation.

Maybe these ideas exist elsewhere but it just completely blows my mind and I feel like i haven‘t even fully "got" it yet. Would recommend it to anyone interested in programming, even if you‘re not interested in music making. Also, where else are you gonna get to use base36?
Chromecast

I think Oculus is much more similar to Stadia than something else too.

Additionally, all of those platforms you mention du the same thing: chat and share pics.
Agree. If only all software engineering was data first…
ICU capacity is not that interesting to me anymore. Most hospitals don’t have row after row after row of empty ICU beds most of the time. They actually want their ICU to have just the right number of beds.
70% capacity sounds full, but it means 30% of the beds are empty. Would it ever make sense for a hospital to have 99% capacity free? Just have 99 beds empty for 1 patient? I think it’s a scare number.
It is perhaps worth mentioning that our ability to detect compounds that are mutagenic or teratogenic, or are likely to cause developmental abnormalities, has improved dramatically in the past 60 years, as has the stringency of drug testing. I'm not an expert, but I can certainly imagine that some of the animal testing that goes on today before a drug is approved is designed to identify problems in offspring. (The problem with thalidomide was not that its problems could not have been identified even 60 years ago; the problem was that the testing was not done or was suppressed.)

So the previous poster's question about drugs given for a short time causing long delayed effects and approved in the last 20 years stands. If a drug is not a mutagen, it is harder to imagine how it could have a long-term effect.
And nobody ever understands you when you introduce yourself, or when they're trying to pronounce it from reading it.

POSIX is not ISO C or C++ standard. On Windows, what are you gonna do?

Also, other languages are Rust, Kotlin, Swift (to name a few `modern` ones). Yes, Kotlin and Swift have `first class` CLI parsing libraries, but they are not part of standard library.
First of all, an ISO C++ compliant implementation can run bare metal, there isn't any requirement that an OS must exist, that is the whole point of a systems programming language.

Secondly a C++ runtime is responsible for running all global variable contructors and destructors, handling exceptions, soft floating operations, loading shared libraries on demand for dynamic linking (depending on OS capabilities or bare metal), how new/delete translation into the underlying OS/MMU.

As for the metadata, so when I use static reflection in C++, either via template metaprogramming, or with the features that sadly will only come in C++26, then what?

And really I just picked C++ as first example that came into my mind.

We can also start discussing Eiffel, Delphi, Swift or Go for example, with their rich type information, dynamic dispatch, rich runtimes, and native compilation model, so they are also dynamic?
Because it represents significant cognitive decline, which is a good comparison against those with significant cognitive advantage.

I was contracted to help build a malware analysis pipeline for PyPI[1][2]. We don't currently have a VirusTotal detector/analyzer (IIRC, we couldn't get a high-enough volume API token on short order), but I think any work towards that would be greatly appreciated by both the PyPA members and the Python packaging community!

Right, ok, but you can only request final grades. So you can only do this once on 15-year-olds, after they've finished primary school. And the next time you can do this on a person, they're gonna be 18 and have graduated high school.

I thought the primary school final grades were protected until you're an adult, but apparently not.
Took me half a day to use it. Yes it's a bit sensitive but now I don't want to go back
yes. many people are vaccine hesitant because they dislike or are afraid of shots.

also if this can help impact the rate of hospitalization and death among unvaccinated than it also alleviates the need for actual vaccinations to do the lift of ending the overall pandemic.
Yes, back to the drawing board Mr van Rossum. Inventing Python is not enough, you must also learn to make a nice homepage.
It was a matter of decency first, but we're here talking about it because to varying degrees in varying jurisdictions it most certainly is law.

> Main thing I wanted to say is that we all love to shit on how Silicon Valley has basically gotten rich off investing in websites and SaaS products over the past ~15 years

500 years ago, these people would've chased Jewish financiers out of strongly catholic areas, or shit on Dutch merchants getting rich in the spice trade.

When it comes to human nature, things don't really change.
When the whole society is on high risk mode such as people back in the late 1800s and early 1900s then you are just going with the flow. That is what you are referring to. That is what Karl Benz did.

When society is in risk averse mode like we are in 2021 then you just look like an inconsiderate a-hole , which Musk never fails to do.

There are places around the world where this approach is acceptable, mainly because life is worth less over there (eg. India, sub-saharan Africa)

Unfortunately those people don't have enough money to buy what is essentially a luxury go-kart for rich people.
Yes, I would never consider a place that had this. Assessing the overall level of politics vs work in a company is important to me (am I going to have to introduce my "pronouns", nod and agree to all the right kind of slacktivist stuff the company posts on social media, participate in ongoing political activities as part of work, while being unable to have any unorthodox opinions of my own). There are a lot more subtle signs to look out for, but the presence of an actual diversity officer that tests your orthodoxy is about the same in my mind as the USSR having political officers present in the workplace to make sure people were good Soviets.

I’m concerned about only 2 ports of access to ingress and egress. What happens in a fire? What about when the inevitable earthquake hits? Think mass casualty on the order of the triangle shirtwaist factory or the surf side collapse. In any case, how long are we going to let idiot sociopathic billionaires run/ruin our lives, and that of our vulnerable children?
> because Canada was never a part of the United States while Taiwan was a part of China

Canada and the United States both claim to be nations that broke away from English rule. If we claim that common heritage means that Canada is rightfully part of the United States territory (in that we are the successor to English rule in the colonies) would other nations have the right to complain about that? Sure, they claim to be a separate nation, with a separate history of breaking away from English rule, but…

As long as we claim that it was always a part of the English colonies, then no other countries can complain if we claim their territory as our own?

That’s a neat trick.
My team uses mob programming to do all of our work. So we have our Jr developers working on the same projects with our Sr Developers. This creates a ton of opportunities for knowledge transfer, mentorship, learning, and growth. We provide the opportunity for Jr's to grow and try things out not only via osmosis of working alongside more sr developers, but I will occasionally ask the Sr developers to step back, and allow the Jr's to take the lead on making decisions, and only step in to provide guidance or point out potential flaws with going down a route.

Augmented capabilities are different capabilities. Your inalienable right to free expression only exists for certain definitions of expression. It does not extend to incitement to crime, revealing classified information, deceptive commercial speech, misleading investors in a public corporation, etc. You have (in my opinion!) an inalienable right to have a pistol, but not to have a hydrogen bomb.
Since the law suit is against the state, and as state school professors they are paid by the state and are employees of the state, it's somewhat reasonable to see a conflict of interest for them to testify when the defendant is their employer.

That said, it should be up to the lawyers and parties involved in the law suit to evaluate that conflict of interest. There was no reason for the school to interfere there.
Seems like the games themselves should be fixed instead

Your version is less accurate in reasonable contexts. People at a Carlin show or on HN are not the average person.
This is how I understand it:

For every 3 consecutive numbers, one of them is a multiple of 3. If a number has 2 prime neighbors there's 100% chance it's divisible by 3. Without prime neighbors, only 33%.

For 3 consecutive numbers there's a 75% chance one of them is a multiple of 4. The number with 2 prime neighbors has then a 75% chance of being divisible by 4. A number without prime neighbors has only 25%.

For 5, it's 60% vs 20%.

So on average we expect the numbers with prime neighbors to be more composite.

Haha, yes I commented exactly the same thing above before reading your comment. This is screwed up, and I hope it's an isolated thing that causes them to lose good people.
When I was in high school (US not Canada) the research lab on the Air Force Base in my town offered internships to kids who were entering their senior year of high school or their freshman year of college. Perhaps you could look for similar opportunities at government/academic institutions?
And that was due to the wisdom of operation warpspeed. Trump is under credited for this (whether his idea or not, he could claim it as such). What’s shocking to me is that he hasn’t been more pro-vax given we have the vaccines we do because of his administration.

When you are employed to attempt to ascertain and share the truth to society at large, and your immediate-employer attempts to block that critical societal function, it is okay to appeal to the sensibilities of your employer's boss -- society itself.
Not for new employees, but for existing employees.

If you negotiated $200K in salary and $300K in stock and your company stock was $300/share when you joined, then upon the first board meeting after hire, you'd be granted 1000 shares/year (subject to vesting). If the stock then goes up to $1000/share, that compensation is worth $1M/year at the time it vests. You've basically gotten a raise because the stock price went up.

I've heard some tech companies have very recently (2021) changed this so that you get a certain dollar amount each month and it converts to shares based on the price that month, probably to avoid unpredictable stock compensation expenses as the stock goes up. Anyone who got their grant before this enjoys the full benefit of stock price appreciation until their existing grant runs out. This is generally the point of giving stock compensation - it's supposed to incentivize workers to care about how well the company stock does, which in rough terms is a proxy for how well the business does.

Using crypto though. No one is trading real estate on DeFi. they are trading crypto. Obviously some people are converting the crypto back into cash and buying real estate with their gains, but those gains come from the losses of other people eventually. Crypto has no cash flow.
I definitely don't have a formulaic answer to that question, but here are some heuristics that I'll posit drive us in the right general direction:

- Freedom of information
So that leaves can error correct when corruption is detected

- Freedom to re-associate
So that leaves can re-organize when the existing power structure becomes destructive to the leave's objectives. This may be a contextual or cultural shift rather than a direct form of corruption. (Eg: climate change may change many individual's priorities going forward). Imo pursuing this heuristic should preclude most forms of identity politics; I'd rather the leaves associate on philosophical priorities rather than on innate physical characteristics

- No special rules for leaves vs nodes higher in the hierarchy
Or perhaps only more restrictive rules for nodes higher in the hierarchy

Your examples seem to have went back to a peer-to-peer model of decentralization; which I was agreed is inherently inefficient and untenable at scale. You need some hierarchical distribution of power, it's just that it needs to stay beholden to the leaves in the hierarchy. The person who decides what's on the ballot is the individual(s) elected/appointed to have that job. That person(s) is likely beholden to some pre-agreed upon rules for how to phrase questions, and any individual in the society can cry afoul if they abuse their position or if we need to update the rules with new considerations. All other leaves can choose to listen if they want, and choose to respond if they want, at whatever level of the hierarchy they believe is best suited to respond to the corruption. The hierarchy is not rigid, it's dynamic, evolves, and must be allowed to error correct as each individual sees fit. The only way that's possible is if it's driven bottom up rather than top down.

The objective should be to distribute and localize power as much as possible, because the more power is centralized, the more prone to corruption, less efficient, and less responsive to nuance it becomes. The exact laws and regulations that achieve that objective? Society is still working that out, but I'd argue separate judicial, legislative, and executive branches was a good move in the right direction. I'd also argue trial by a jury of your peers was also a solid move in the grand scheme of things.

I'd argue that same objective holds true for technological networks as well.

"You have to oversample your minority class so your data is balanced" is an urban legend that needs to die. It is never necessary, unless you are using extremely outdated model fitting methods, and even then, it would only be needed in training. It is completely unnecessary in evaluation, and metrics on biased data are going to be biased (obviously!).

I think it is relevant because dementia is "a decline in thinking skills, also known as cognitive abilities, severe enough to impair daily life and independent function."[0]

If a decrease in cognitive abilities leads to impaired independence (and consequently life outcomes), then it would make sense that an increase in cognitive abilities leads to improved life outcomes. Here, I am assuming that this effect is monotonic across the whole range of cognitive abilities, which the submitted article seems to confirm.

Of course, I am comparing individuals having a medical condition (dementia) with, as far as I understand, cognitively intact study participants, but I think it doesn't meaningfully weaken my argument. If you disagree, I'd love to understand why.
