Yes exactly, it's a dumb headline:

> The errors occur because Denuvo’s DRM software will mistakenly think the so-called "Performance-cores" and "Efficiency-cores" (P-cores and E-cores) on the chip belong to two separate PCs, when in reality the two types of processing cores are running on the same Alder Lake processor. (This P-core/E-core design is a new trait of Intel's chips with Alder Lake.)

To me that's copy-protection employed by each game on it's own. They just happen to be using DRM library software from a vendor. It has nothing to do with Intel & DRM or specs of any kind, it's whatever the software vendor thought would work.
Unpopular opinion: the only people I'd recommend Arch to are people without a lot of Linux experience (who are interested in learning).

Once you learn the basics of what goes into a distro and you know how to set things up and troubleshoot, there's no reason to use a distro with a package management story as backwards as Arch's.

After you're done with Arch, learn to write packages for a couple distros (practice building them on something like OBS[1], which lets you build and distribute packages for almost any distro). Then choose your distro based on the quality of the tooling it is built on and package whatever you need that isn't already in it.

Any info on the theoretical capacity of these vs Lithium Ion? I didn't see it in the article. (Obviously it's not a competition, but it'd be nice to have some frame of reference)
I think they were trying to get payments going for a startup idea and were trying to get payments integrated. Or at least that's the founding story.

"In early 2010 John and Patrick began working on Stripe together. At the time Patrick was working on several side projects and they debated why it was so difficult to accept payments on the web. They sought to solve the problem and see if it was possible to make it simple - really simple. The next 6-months they played with it, showed it to friends, and saw how people interacted with it, iterating along the way."

It sucks when this happens, but it's easily avoidable by using a caching frontend of some sort.

My favorite is Varnish,[0] which I have used with great success for _many_ web sites throughout the years. Even a web site that 10+ millions of requests per day ran from a single web server for a long time a decade-ish ago.

This kind of thing has unfortunately been rather common in the bigger corp environments where I've worked...

Inevitably someone finds out about submodules, falls in love, and suggests a megarepo like this. Then, forgetting about them - and never updating.
I think there's an opportunity for a new JS framework to have something like randomly generated dom that will always display the page and elements the same to a human but constantly break paths for computers.

Like displaying a table with semantic elements, then divs, then using an iframe with css grid and floating values over the top.

This almost seems like a problem for AI to solve.

> They are the sole arbiter of legitimate force, and the sole entity that can govern your behavior in places you have a right to be

This fully depends on what you include in your definitions.

Imagine this: A company owns a vast area of land. You agree to contract with this company in order to be on their land. This contract includes things like using physical force against you if you violate other terms spelled out in the contract (just as you can contract to have violence done to you at a BDSM club). The contract defines a technical term "right", the definition of which spells out some things you're positively allowed to do, and is somewhat harder to amend but not impossible. The terms allow you to sublease a bit of their land for your exclusive use. Your sole way to terminate this contract is to completely leave the company's land and pay off any balance you owe. Call this company USG and it is indistinguishable from the United States Government.

> Find me one person who doesn't pay taxes and doesn't go to jail

Most people who have under the table income and don't report it. Same as how it's often possible to get around breach of contract when your counterparty doesn't find out. Model vs reality. And note how similar the requirements for keeping your income unreported mirror the requirements for avoiding transitive association with a given corporation.

> I know plenty of people who don't interact with FAANG at all

1. There are likely still surveillance profiles being kept on them. 2. It's hard to believe said people use the web for anything, given the prevalence of Google Tag Manager and CAPTCHAs. 3. More entrenched than FAANG are Equifax and LexisNexis, which are even harder to distance yourself from. I'd say it's easier to renounce your citizenship of most countries than it is to avoid the worst of the surveillance companies.

> Corporations will never rise to the legitimate use of force

You keep using this word legitimate, which entirely depends on perspective. I would say that it is plainly illegitimate to throw someone in a cage for smoking a plant, and so calling government inherently legitimate is a bit dubious.

I literally never update anything unless it is not working. Quite happy here with Firefox 66.x on Ubuntu LXDE 14.x, which is what happened to come with this particular device.

I have an iPad running iOS 8.x, which I'm also happy with, especially when I do testing on the clusterfucks that are later iOS and Firefox releases.

Personally, I think astrology today is just an easy way to make money off of folks who don’t know any better.

While it would surely be one of the most incredible scientific discoveries in human history to prove that the normal motion of objects in the solar system can somehow affect people’s lives through some unknown force, it is incredibly unlikely.

To claim otherwise and sell some kind of product or predictions based on astrology is dishonest.
Doesn’t this “contaminate” the entire calling function though, as in you now have to specify it is impure?
Early stage R&D is the part that typically happens outside of big pharma, though all the big companies have their own proprietary early stage efforts/portfolios.

Even then govt funded stuff is mostly preclinical. Start ups mostly cover anything from animal studies to phase 1 / 2.

Late stage R&D, manufacturing, and marketing is extremely capital intensive and complex and is mostly done by large pharma companies, who either license the asset or enter some sort of partnership with the IP holder. And I am including regulatory approval, demonstrating value to payers, etc under marketing (e.g. it is not just advertising).
I've tech diligenced 200+ software companies and I've seen Haskell twice and Clojure once. The two that were using Haskell had to drop the project and rewrite because they couldn't find enough developers.

I have zero problems with the technical capabilities of functional programming languages, but it's simply not a smart decision to use them in for profit businesses writing CRUD apps. It simply doesn't make economic sense. When you get to scale and need to write <insert specific modular service that does this one thing really well> then it starts to make more sense.
#4 --> compassion

It still strikes me when I hear the etymology of compassion, - com : with
- passion : suffer

basically to suffer alongside with which is much more profound than any soft warm fuzzy mental state, suffering is a physical state. You suffered alongside your mother and that is truly noble.

Package maintainers implement install scripts for a reason. It should be opt-out, not opt-in.

There should be granualar control over which packages, and which scripts you want to block.

E.g in your package.json:

`"scriptblock": {
"puppeteer" : "*"
}
`
or
`
"scriptblock": {
"puppeteer" : ["preinstall","postinstall"...]
}
`

etc.
Depending on set and setting: anywhere from extremely good to extremely bad. I'm pretty sure they'll be cognizant of creating a positive environment though.

Even if Helion is behind the tokamaks, perhaps this play is more about reaching an economically viable reactor design? Not first to fusion, but first to scalable fusion?
> Lawrence "Groper" Krauss

It's interesting how as soon as he spoke out against Affirmative Action and DEI he was immediately accused of some transgression. All that without proof, of course, or an actual trial (hint: it wouldn't pass the stricter bar of a court of law) but rather judged by an opaque "tribunal" of ethicists.

Note that he had tenure, so making up these accusations was probably the only way to get rid of the squeaky wheel...

Reminds me of RMS getting cancelled by... an anonymous blog post!
Maybe he meant the name unique, not a unique name.

The issue is that they’d then have to pay for preclinical studies to determine safety, which would add millions of dollars to the budget. Whereas for psilocybin that work was largely done decades ago.
> It is a curious, curious belief in the engineering community that we are better at trivial math than banks are. That is not a bet I would encourage people to make.

Although sometimes people are right on that bet, disrupts an entire industry and becomes billionaires. Entire industries can turn a blind eye to problems that are obvious to some, and later it turns out the industry experts were wrong.

So I wont stop making simple back of the envelope calculations and discuss and judge industries based on that. In most cases you are wrong when you do it (which you'll realize when you dig down a bit further), but sometimes the industry is wrong and you really don't want to miss those cases.

You can't compare battery capacities with the M1.

Under load the M1 uses significantly less power than any current AMD or Intel CPU.

I'm pretty sure the M1 would last longer than your T470 on both batteries (95Wh + 75Wh).

I'll bet you're using this dataset: https://catalog.data.gov/dataset/baby-names-from-social-secu...

I downloaded it recently to dig for names that start with vowels. I wound up loading it in a SQLite database.

Nice work with the decade filter. I feel your pain with that one. I wound up dumping all the years from when "Nevaeh" spiked onward as a quick and dirty clean. This also cleared out the flood of -aidens and some awkward recent trends.

After all that, my wife hated every name I suggested from my efforts :) Still a lot of fun to play with the data and watch how the trends change. Like you can find when "Ashley" declines as a male name and rises as a female name.

> Where do you feel your interest in math was mostly developed?

First at home. I remember doing division by 7 and being fascinated by how the decimals repeat, before I started elementary school. Later: math books, math competitions, and math camps where university students explained advanced math concept to small kids using simple words.

I also learned a few interesting math things at high school, but it was a small part of the whole, maybe 10% or 20%.

In my opinion, to be good at math requires a combination of IQ + motivation + good learning resources. With low IQ, some things are simply too difficult or too abstract. Without motivation, you will not spend the necessary time and effort. Good learning resources (books, tutors, videos, whatever) will remind you of things you haven't considered yet, and will help you solve difficult problems by giving you easier problems first.

In perfect case, educational system should provide as good learning resources as possible, and perhaps also some motivation. It can do nothing about IQ. There is a possibility that kids with average IQ would do much better than now; but kids with high IQ would do even better.

> My fear is that a lot of people won't bother with a vax if they think there's a 'cure'.

Interesting. Indeed, should people bother with a vax if there's a highly effective cure? Is it worth all the teeth-gnashing and hair pulling on the part of the medical establishment, political establishment and media about people who would rather get COVID than get the vaccine? IMO this cure (once it starts rolling out ofc) is a reason to start rolling back vaccine and mask mandates rather than impose more mandates.

[Disclaimer: Fully vaxxed, will take a booster, etc]
It's crazy that law enforcement actually participates in hounding people who self-medicate rather than going after corrupt medical and political establishment.
This completely destroys any trust people have in government, laws and justice.
Great that we can see some progress, but I have a feeling that it is only possible because people behind all that corruption finally figured out a way how to monetize it.
I'm confused, how accessible is this stuff to you? Do you mean black market or prescription?
this is where my mind was going, trying to remain positive and less conspiracy theory though. but it's really not secret that some companies (presumably pharmaceutical companies as well) have to stay in business and sometimes in order to do so, many companies build products that wear out, see how gillette razors came about for more insight on that

The most amazing thing about this to me is that as conceptually interesting as this contract is at a high level, and given that I started off interested in the document, about half way through my eyes were glazing over ;and I gave up.

> We have laws not to murder people because the state assumes a monopoly on violence.

This theory utterly fails to explain laws against murder from the millennia when there was no such thing as a state that claimed monopoly on violence. In the feudal system there was no such thing as a unified state entity, it was just a bunch of people invested with certain rights organised into nested hierarchy of fealty, no monopolies there, but still they had no problem ruling people guilty of committing murder.

Our entire team loves mob programming. We don't think alone really, we talk things out and discuss things as a team. But our productivity has increased, we all leave the day tired but feeling good about the work we accomplished, it keeps us all honest with our work (no skipping unit tests, no writing bad/confusing code and calling it good enough, constant refactors). We committed to doing it for 2 weeks back in May, the first day was rough, but by day 3 we were all in. None of us want to go back to doing solo development.
I'm more or less in agreement. What we need is a change of mentality/awareness, i.e. that everything you do online is being tracked and shared with other parties. Because it mostly is.
Maybe just stick to discussions on software security where you actually have some credibility. Your reading comprehension combined with your desire for some sort of argument really shows your weakness outside of your field of expertise.
As a proud 4th generation Texan, I would like to say going to California in various ways would strike me as being a place that uses state power in backwards ways as well.

Unfortunately for the both of us, not to speak for anything specifically to California, our states have managed to make some bad decisions. I believe I have standing to speak to recent Texas policy in regard to the recent abortion madness, illegalizing delta-8 THC products etc... sad times indeed.

I am very pro federalism myself, and think that competition of polity would be a great unwinding of federal power. But it seems the iterim is going to be the states fighting against the Fed in extreme ways.

Just listened to an interesting podcast on psychiatry and capitalism today that mentioned just how desperate big pharma companies are to get their hands on psychadelics. Podcast essentially argues that psychiatry in large part serves to continue enabling capitalism while papering over the people who are incompatible with capitalism via medication. Very interesting pod for sure.

Sure but that kind of limits its capacity to make an impact, right?

Pretty much everyone experiences some degree of anxiety. Tons of people here in California, before recreational cannabis was legal, got a medical use permit simply by truthfully telling the teledoc they have anxiety and cannabis might help them with it. Nobody cared whether this anxiety crossed some arbitrary threshold into being a serious medical issue, or if it was just regular old "my life can be stressful, but it sure is nice to relax with a sweet bong hit."

I doubt a single person was turned away because their anxiety wasn't considered "serious" enough, and I'm personally ok with that.

I'd be happy if the same situation happened with psilocybin.

That's a big difference from having to go completely across the world to seek treatment.
