That's one argument, but on the other hand if you can't vet the videos by yourself before watching, the average quality of the videos you watch will drop, decreasing the incentive for you to spend time on the site.
I bought a 2009 4Runner back in March for $15k. Back then $15k would buy you the nicest 4th Generation (03-09) 4Runner. Now days that seems to be the average asking price, most 4Runners from that generation are going for at least $12k (with over 200k miles) and the nicest ones (with low 100k miles) are fetching over $20k.

That's 15k to 20k for a car that is 11 years old at it's youngest and mileage under 150k is considered "low mileage"
Because they actually are in debt to the tune of $300bn but they've managed to keep playing so they stay afloat. This would be the moment the music stops.
> Thats a pretty cynical view of humanity - should we ban motorcycles because they are costing peoples lives? What is so bad about letting people make their own choices?

Ridiculous analogy. We're talking about preventing the spread of a lethal contagious disease. If driving a motorcycle made everyone around them unsafe then it would be a valid comparison.

Yes, it could be easily used as Admin UI. We create a virtual schema for every database that we connect to. If there are schema changes done outside noco GUI - then noco has a sync option that does automatically sync the changes.
So far all of the signals observed by LIGO are from sources that we expected would exist.

if you wrote it, it I wouldn't count it as a source /s

isn't that than a bit risky to put something into the bios which might disable intels advances? and especially if not even intel tested it correctly? I mean as a consumer what would happen if I enable it and something breaks?
How does this compare to Budibase? https://budibase.com/
Budibase seems to have a workflow engine as well.
Ok so who do I turn to when I only want a curated App Store from Apple on my iPhone so I can enjoy the conveniences of the iPhone like Apple Pay, anonymous sign-in enforced, and other features that I value?

Or is it that consumer rights only matter when they come from you?

Every time this conversation comes up people act as though the 3rd-party App Store stuff is a good thing that everyone inherently wants and if you don't want it you must be violating some user rights or w/e and be a corporate shill for apple against the innocent little poor developer community.

All platforms, software or otherwise have restrictions of some sort. I can't just sell whatever I want at Wal-Mart or Amazon. Maybe consumers do want products with lead in them if they're cheaper - who are you to deny their freedom of choice? I'll take my own risk thank you very much.

So w/e. Frame it how you want. Ultimately it'll happen but it's going to suck hardcore. Thankfully I don't use products like Facebook so I won't have to worry about them siphoning my data directly on my iPhone but there's no doubt they and other companies going to move to a 3rd-party store or create their own so they can do whatever they want. Put lead in products, take user's data, w/e, and in the end nothing of value will actually be gained. Netflix and Facebook and whoever will make more money because they won't have to pay Apple to use the iPhone platform. You're just pitting some billion dollar corporations versus others and siding with some over others. You'll have this principled freedom of a worse experience of adware, malware, and scummy user-hostile behavior.
Well, to me it doesn't sound like you are a typical YouTube user.
Hustle culture can crush your soul, and how to fix it
Is this across all makes and models?
Might be anecdotal but on top of that, I've noticed that many car owners who previously only had services performed by a shop began doing their own maintenance. A friend who works as a service manager at CarMax had similar observations in conversations with some customers, including one DIY-er who forgot to torque their oil drain bolt correctly, lost the oil, and is now the recipient of a refurbished engine.

I had only done light maintenance/upgrade work on my cars prior to the pandemic. In the last year I've replaced a rear main seal, front + rear rotors + pads on all my cars, new control arms, shocks, and struts on a sedan, a ton of electrical work, cold air upgrades, every single fluid drained and filled, etc. DIY content on YouTube is getting to the point where a middle schooler can fab a car from scratch given enough time and motivation. YMMV (literally).

My personal opinion is that the US government is mostly incompetent, and its employment structure incentivizes laziness and waste. Any expansion of government into the lives of the people is bound to backfire. The rich would just find a new way to hide their money, the food programs would be taken advantage of, etc. I think we already spend more per student than any other country, and our public education is mostly a joke. But to each their own, I get the sentiment behind these programs.

I believe that the developer of FLIF integrated much of the tech into JPEG XL.

It seems to happen a lot with codecs (e.g., Xiph's Dalaa tech merging into AV1, or Xiph's CELT and Microsoft's SILK merging into Opus). I see FLIF as the prototype and JPEG XL as the production version.
Or a 3 pixels camera whose pixel color changing is what matters :D

The only difference between a camera and a mic is the number or vibrating thing it cares about (mic only cares about the vibration of its single membrane, cameras create millions of membranes sensitive to photon vibration on a grid)

LIGO 3 interferometers care about the time-variation of the difference of distance measure in 3 groups of 2 mirrors. So it's more than a single mic, and it's a derivative of 2 distance measures, in time. It would be like a 3-pixel video, with white as a baseline for the 3 pixels, and it would varies towards green or blue depending of the negative or positive difference (random colors) between the mirror distances.

Or yeah, a 3 channel sound :S

The news doesn't decide what to run based on importance but rather based on salience.

As someone that is financially versed, even I have trouble grasping the why this is a big deal. Complicated things don't get run.

Whereas J&J factory problems, that sounds like a covid thing and it's easy to see why that might be important.
This is freaking awesome. Those mind-control drone pilots we have today mean there's an exciting near-future for mind-machine interfaces. It will be fantastic not just for people who are paralyzed, but also perhaps we will have better prostheses, and maybe in the metaverse we will have additional appendages to do more tasks.

I am looking forward to our new world.

I don't have another car, but I have a flexible remote work arrangement, so I might be able to float a few months without one, if trading my 2017 for a 2021 makes sense financially (i.e. if the increase in the value of my used car offsets enough of the purchase price of a new car to make it worth it).
Yeah, no shit. Today's "tech" firms are actually advertising/marketing firms. The ideal candidate, therefore, resembles the ideal marketroid: extraverted, outgoing, and super confident, with a "can-do" attitude toward everything.

I've actually been passed over fot jobs because I wasn't confident enough. Well, stick me in a room full of MIT Ph.D.s who ask me to solve hard AI-related problems and what do you expect? Do you want to hire a programmer or Gilderoy fucking Lockhart?
The latter was due to lack in error messaging to userspace - so you ended up with the only way the kernel could raise the error involved.

Games often did things that put the system out of whack, and while 9x had preemption for 32bit code (16bit was cooperative as separate thread, iirc) it wasn't impossible to break the OS state by simply putting bits of hw in weird state or by using a lot of resources.
Your discussion point is interesting, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to take the stance that "Pork is Good".

I'm simply a pragmatist. We know Congress is perpetually deadlocked and that we haven't had a proper budget in damn near a decade. Maybe its time to whip out the old Pork technique. That's all I'm saying.

Anyone who studied how these budgets got passed 30 or 40 years ago knows: Pork was essential in building coalitions (especially across party lines). You scratch my back, I scratch yours. If you help me pass X Bill, I'll write a useless thing into the Bill that benefits your state.

Lets bring it back. Lets get Congressmen working together again.
I'm gonna be real with you, macOS server is a complete joke. Avoid and kill with fire.
It's important to point out that DMSA's release alledges that media has been trading on rumors that Evergrande had made the earlier missed debt payments before the grace period ended, when in fact it it had not. Several commentators over the past few weeks have pointed out that all of the media reports saying that the payments had been made were circuitously cited; no one had heard from a creditor directly. Now we have.

So now one has to wonder why essentially every major journalistic entity involved in the financial space would bet their reputation on hearsay, for something with such limited effects; especially when it would only buy a few weeks, at most, of this false belief.
My understanding is that for general purpose registers, register renaming and other hazard-avoiding optimisations means that the register file is significantly larger than the total of (register width * number of registers).

Do the SIMD units have similar register duplications? If so, reducing the duplication count would do pretty much that (Reducing the area at the cost of lower performance).

Even if not, the large general purpose register duplication count likely means that the SIMD registers are actually a lower proportion of the register file on chip than the register width would imply, making it less of a saving.

But generally I agree, I'm much more interested in the extra instruction vocabulary and things like masking lanes than the increased register width. I also wonder at what point the cut off of when a use case would be worth pushing to a more dedicated accelerator (like a dsp or gpu).
We've got two in my village - one is a book exchange and the other is a general exchange for unwanted stuff including groceries.

OCP Summit 2021: Open networking hardware lays the groundwork for the metaverse
I have yet to try this out, but the interesting thing in these docs is principled and data supported description of “how to move a calibration target” when calibrating a fisheye camera to get the most bang for buck. This could save companies real money in production line time.
I agree with that, but that didn't happen in 2008.

How old is your CPU? Age can be factor of it, it is possible that it didn't have the hardware to support it. I disabled the GPU acceleration in my player and put the CPU to work, it handles the HEVC 10-bits just fine floating around 20% of usage for this video (Intel Core i7-8559U).

If you said it is pretty heavy on the CPU, then it could be your CPU that is causing the issue.
A) I'd suggest that there are a wide variety of options here, reciprocal actions are common in diplomacy, so for instance the US could default on an equal amount of US debt that China holds, or perhaps pass a law that in the case of the bankruptcy of US companies bonds owned by Chinese nationals at any time after the proposal of said law (to avoiding them just selling them) are void.

Of course these options (and probably any other options you imagine) would have pretty wide reaching side effects - to the extent that I'm not even sure they are worth the cost - but they definitely exist.

B) Because transfer of wealth from US investors to China harms US interests, the US government exists to serve US interests and part of that is standing up for their nationals in international trade.
I can’t say I’ve checked but I’d have assumed every partisan political video gets a tonne of downvotes. I assume you’re referring to some sort of recent organised thing though?
I noticed a similar dynamic with general contractors / handymen a few years ago.

There was a multi-year period where the demand far exceeded supply, but they didn't seem to adjust their billing rates accordingly.

I never got a clear answer as to why. The one guy I talked to seemed scarred by a very demand-limited market some years prior, so maybe he was fearful of making any changes that might leave him under-employed.

From other articles the issue is that they can't even pay a "meme NFT" ...

If they can't pay that, what can they pay on their 300B in other debts?

Other news sources indicate they don't have money coming in, possibly NONE, the real estate market in China is getting cold... and they have unfinished projects that they already collected money on that require money to complete.
1. You have something that catches and logs all uncaught exceptions.

2. Defer is nice. As easy to forget as using in C#.

3. Always null/nil. Uncle Bob is plain wrong here.

4. Stack trace. But you should keep things wide and shallow. No matter what technology you use.

In Go it is about as easy to swallow errors as with try-catch. But my post was more about how all the if-statements generates more unnecessary if-statements.

Similar story, I made an IE6 PNG transparency "fix" that used some IE specific image filter language (I can't even remember what anymore).

On some computers without enough memory the "fix" crashed the entire OS with a bluescreen (no idea what the bug was because I didn't have windows, and because... well it's windows, I think I developed it in WINE!). I only found this out through a client complaining about their clients computers bluescreening when visiting their site... this was probably 2008-ish, so not exactly peak IE6, but it was the phase where a bunch of orgs still forced everyone to use it under the ridiculous premise of "security".
In general, that's the risk of crowdsourcing signal on anything... You get the wisdom of the crowds.

What that means depends on the crowd.
Hilarious the visceral response here to the apparent and inevitable decline of YouTube content quality with the removal of a dislike count -- when Hacker News itself doesn't show a down vote count nor even a down vote button for a large portion of its population.
Gopher holes often are truly sincere and maddening.
The key is the ratio between the votes.

"Google is a bad faith actor, this is a PR piece, and so it is unwise to take them at face value on anything", on the other hand, is pretty reasonable.
Actually the notion of cleaner should be taken with pinch of salt.

I was very pro nuclear until it came out of my mind.

Given its construction, the nuclear plan can have an intensive use of the sulfur hexafluoride ( SF6 Gas)
Which according to Wikipedia

"According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, SF
6 is the most potent greenhouse gas that has been evaluated, with a global warming potential of 23,900 times that of CO
2 when compared over a 100-year period"

This puzzled me as pro- nuclear tend not to mention it.

Unless new technology come up addressing this issue, I would not judge nuclear as clean for the time being.

Google must have done A/B testing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they mentioned an increase in total consumption in the article.

If they did not mention it, the test results were likely not promising, meaning that implementing the move regardless is motivated by something else than an increase in ad revenue.

Eh... my anecdote is that I know multiple people with GM vehicles with over 200,000 miles that run fine. And my 2007 GMC Sierra is still like new, and should have way more than 5 years of life left in it.

Your Toyotas probably have well more than 5 years left in them too. Unless you're someone who replaces cars at 100,000 miles, which a lot of people do.

AKA: Thousands of Image File Formats.

I still remember trying to explain to a previous employer why I needed Debabelizer to create appropriately-striped TIFFs in addition to Photoshop. In hindsight, the me of today would have said then, "I just need it to do this job, which will make you far more money than it costs to buy a single license." The me of then wasn't quite as savvy.
Anti-trust isn't a crime. And there are reasons for that other than what cynicism suggests. It is far more difficult to pin down the definition, for example, than it is even for typical white-collar crimes (fraud etc.). And it's morally dubious to punish someone in unpredictable ways. (the (civil(!) anti-trust fines don't create new harm, but are intended to fix a situation, which makes them more acceptable. As an analogy: when someone damages your car and has to pay for repairs, that payment is zero-sum for society. if you hit him in the head, that's a net-negative because you (shouldn't/don't) derive as much benefit from it as they are harmed)

Then, practically speaking, the groups involved are simply too large to pin outcomes on individuals, and we don't do guilt-by-association. The timescales are also wrong, because the people responsible will often have moved on long ago. And the people usually do not participate in the spoils anywhere close to linearly with their involvement (which is a good thing because it prevents most corporate malfeasance: you aren't going expose yourself to moral and criminal guilt at a 9-5 job).

Also,, the standard-of-proof that is required is higher ("beyond reasonable doubt", i. e. 95%) than it is in civil cases ("preponderance of evidence", i. e. 50%). This is an outcrop of that moral-guilt vs responsibility thing from above, and also from the fact that in civil court it's often arbitrary what side of the courtroom you end up on.
Coding assessments are largely used to filter unqualified candidates and save time. You can't reasonably interview every applicant, so you set a small barrier in place and those who can cross it get the time. Coding in interviews is more about understanding your logical decisions and brain flow, whether you ask the right questions or approach problems in a reasonable way.
