How is this the case? AMD mobile CPUs, core for core, are anywhere from 13% slower to 20% faster (between Geekbench and Cinebench r20 and everything in between), and the M1 Max has a generational process advantage and 2-3x faster RAM, despite a similar TDP. In multicore, the Apple processors plainly consume way more power (62W vs 35W sustained) than any of the latest generation AMD processors yet released. Clearly the gap is within to ~25% process advantage and that's without taking into account much faster RAM.

Same goes in phones. The A14 is around 10-20% faster in all metrics than an 888 and has around that much of a process advantage.

I'm generally positively surprised by the coalition-agenda (Koalitionsvertrag) that was presented by the upcoming German government yesterday. Fairly centrist policies and a focus on modernization. There's a separate question about how much of it will actually be implemented, but the uncommon mix of three fairly different parties seems to have created a sensible equilibrium.
Indian engineers in India did tend to be worse on average than American engineers of any ethnicity when I did a lot of hiring about 10 years ago. As far as I could figure out, the main reason for this was the large number of Indian technical schools with very outdated curriculae and low standards for matriculation, along with a rote learning style. Engineers from these schools needed to have every little detail meticulously specified to get anything done correctly. Pair that with frequently mediocre english, and you have a recipe for disaster.
It sounds like you're trying to read papers that assume a certain level of mathematical sophistication without having reached that level. Typical engineering papers will assume at least what's taught in 2 years of college level mathematics, mainly calculus and linear algebra, and no they aren't going to be explaining notation used at that level.

But it isn't just about the notation. You also need to understand the concepts the notation represents, and there aren't really any shortcuts to that.

These days there are online courses (many freely available) in just about every area of mathematics from pre-high school to intro graduate level.

It's possible for a sufficiently motivated person to learn all of that mathematics on their own from online resources and books, but it isn't going to be an easy task or one that you can complete in a few weeks/months.
I'm thankful for the Internet, you wouldn't be reading this otherwise

I’ve recent switched from vanilla bash to ZSH. I mainly use oh-my-zsh and Power10k. Once again the defaults without much customization.
It's "interesting" that I never read any posts about how unfair it was when AMD was using TSMC 7nm to beat Intel. Makes you think, it does.
Yet scanning a QR code which uniquely identifies an individual to get into any venue is totally fine because we didn't update the source code yet and so it's not phoning home this week.

Well, if the source (of the scanner) is even legit, since the app stores provide no way to verify that anyway.
It's the automation that worries me. I'm not too concerned about proper companies using CCTV to record, as it's well managed and gets deleted unseen, unless something happens. I'm not too concerned about the police pulling those CCTV pictures to investigate a crime either.

Things like ring doorbells on the other hand should be cracked down - the number of times I see people in the UK posting pictures of public areas on facebook is shocking, but if they're just sat there, being deleted unless pulled for a proper reason, that's fine too.

What really does concern me is when things like image recognition come into the picture. A corporation can't montior me by paying someone to sift through CCTV pictures. They can montior me by using automation to process everything though.

This is a good thing, how successful it is remains to be seen.
Agreed. The tone of the HN comments section is occasionally somewhat more contentious now than a few years ago, but it has not generally devolved into the sort of partisan pissing match/bad-faith clusterfuck seen elsewhere in the interwebs. To some extent I attribute that to the fact that valuing science and reason can be a helpful quality in moderating the tone of interaction, even among anons. Which is really a lucky thing.

Where's the straw?

Regardless, the issue you pose is solved via generics, which would be the appropriate TS way to model this: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play?#code/MYGwhgzhAECCB2BLAt...

Similar constructs would solve your proposed Array issues too: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play?#code/MYGwhgzhAECCB2BLAt...

TS is explicitly designed to be easy to apply to existing codebases without terribly much work. This means it must allow unsound code in some cases. However, given it also provides mechanisms to make the code sound, I do not see why this must be a dealbreaker to you. I think if you took the time to learn it you'd find the type system is actually quite powerful.

How to Share Your Dietary Preferences and Restrictions Without Sounding Rude
Ah memories... Had this with overclocked Celerons and the Thermaltake Golden Orb[1] coolers. Looked awesome!

Was my first experience overclocking as well. Quickly learned the difference between boot stable and still working after a night of Prime95.

Was my first SMP programming experience as well. Had been writing multithreaded code for a while before, but never had access to anything but a single core machine. Most of my existing code promptly crashed on the BP6. Took a while to realize access to OS resources had to be managed as well.

Ended up running Citrix Metaframe on NT4, so I could do remote login. Got me hooked on RDP, the primary reason I've never been able to use Linux as my main desktop.

Had it for many years until it was just too slow and noisy. Felt sad when I had to get rid of it.

There's too little detail to know. Could be that the price of $198/acre is offered for high-yield farmland that may be rare in Knox county and that they don't have?

It could also turn out that they're turning profit from land where anyone else would just fail. You don't know.

To quote the original from the Koalitionsvertrag (https://www.tagesschau.de/koalitionsvertrag-147.pdf):

> Biometrische Erkennung im öffentlichen
Raum sowie automatisierte staatliche Scoring Systeme durch KI sind europarechtlich auszuschließen (page 19)

Translated: Biometric recognition in public spaces as well as AI-based, automated scoring systems ran by governments are to be prohibited by European law.

> Flächendeckende Videoüberwachung und den Einsatz von
biometrischer Erfassung zu Überwachungszwecken lehnen wir ab

Translated: We refuse widespread video surveillance as well as usage of biometric recognition for surveillance purposes.

To summarize: Using biometrics or other technology for surveillance, particularly any attempt to recreate China's Social Credit Score, is banned. The exception in the English text is to allow biometric measures for identification (e.g. passports) and access control.
Undefined behavior isn't a feature. A spec isn't an implementation, either.

> if you were an alien trying to reconstruct it, for example - you'd hit serious problems.

I can't speak to alien minds. Considering the feats of reverse-engineering I've seen in the IT world (software security, semiconductor reverse-engineering) or cryptography (the breaking the Japanese Purple cipher in WWII, for example) I think it's safe to say humans are really, really good at reverse-engineering other human-created systems from close-to-nothing. Starting with documentation would be a step-up.

The other matter of concern is how many of these bits of data end up on servers outside of the EU, if you want something done about it you are essentially powerless.
> because the wealth is already taxed - how else did you acquire that wealth without paying taxes first?

Thiel bought a lot of PayPal equity for basically zero dollars in a tax-free account. The tax exclusion for inheritance is enormous, allowing children to inherit millions and millions without paying taxes and receive a step-up in basis.
Some comments suggest this is as a result of A/B testing, which may be part of the story today, but as someone who built websites that had to deal with returning large resultsets from time immemorial (i.e. pre-dot com bubble), it absolutely started because Netscape would simply blow up rendering tables larger than N rows (where N ain’t very large) and because partial rendering didn’t work very well with table based layout. The former meant you could crash a viewer’s browser while the latter meant anything more than say 20 rows would take eons to load over a dialup modem.

This all changed with the advent of infinite scrolling enabled via the whole ajax revolution, but this was (is still? I haven’t written front end code in a decade or so) difficult to get right.

In sum, this happened because of technical difficulties on the front end side (browser limitations or code complexity), and probably just stuck as convention. Perhaps some nice analyst then A/B tested the arrangement and found that it was happily optimal.
Having answered your questions I can not help but notice that you did not answer my questions on vaccination mandates and lockdown regimes. It would be interesting to know if you support these and, if so, why.
Interesting, I thought yields should be 7% of capital allocated. Otherwise put it in the stock market. This might mean that 2% yield means leverage, if you borrowed 83.34% of purchase price to buy a property and put in 16.66% of your own money then I guess an allowed 2% yield translates I to 7% yield on the capital you deployed. Provided interest on the loan was 1%...this no doubt contributes to Evergrande potential defaulting.
Don't forget that if you use #!/bin/sh in POSIX compatible scripts, you can configure /bin/sh to symlink dash shell instead of bash or zsh. Dash will run scripts way faster (up to 4x) because it is less feature blown...

This is the reason, why I try to prevent using bash/zsh exclusive features in my daily use scripts.
Governments should also get free equity in the companies in these deals.

> how else did you acquire that wealth without paying taxes first?

The very wealthy minimize taxes paid by taking deferred compensation in the form of equity held past the long term capital gains threshold, and then only selling a small portion at the low long term capital gains rate.

The next level tax avoidance approach is as the GP described: don't sell your equity, thereby not realizing any taxable gains, but get cash flow by borrowing against it. This requires you to have so much equity that borrowing a small percentage against it is all you need to pay for your daily life, a position that few people are in.

That's just scratching the surface of tax avoidance mechanisms, but the result is as Warren Buffett described: he pays a lower tax rate than his secretary.
If this is the worst thing to happen to you today, you’re having a great thanksgiving
Through a really nice and helpful math prof who took time out of her day to explain it to those in the "im in trouble" additional course. Forever grateful for that, would have failed otherwise.

Math notation becomes very readable, as soon as the teacher writes a example out on the black board, and that is why i will never forgive wikipedia / wolfram / latex for not having a interactive "notation to example expansion". They had such a chance to reform the medium - to make it more accessible to beginners and basically forgot about them.

Is it realy a convention? I see it so rarely that to me it's more like a situation where someone did it "wrong", and then someone new learned from it snowballing into a thing.

Also, wall warts are also required to have all of their weight above the plug in the ground on top orientation. That's never worked well for me.
That’s because “Δ” means “a change of” or “an interval of”. So, Δt is “an interval of time”. It is like a compound word, really. It conveys more information than giving it an arbitrary, single-letter name.

This convention is used in a whole bunch of scientific fields, like quantum mechanics, chemistry, biology, mechanics, thermodynamics, etc.

It’s also very useful in how it relates to derivatives, which is a crucial concept in just about any kind of science you could care to mention.

So yes, there is a learning curve, but we write things this way for good reasons, most of the time.

Multiplication should be represented by a (thin) space in good typography, to avoid this sort of things. Not doing it is sloppy and invites misreading. Same with omitting parenthesis around a function’s argument most of the time (e.g. sin 2πθ instead of sin(2 π θ) ).

I'd say it's a pattern; people up here in the north of Europe are often also rather inflamed by what goes on in the USA. Not that I see anything peculiar in that; I am often inflamed by it, too. What feels weird to us is more how so many Americans aren't enraged by many things that happen over there.
If you go against the status quo you get flagged. It's just as shit as any other forum.
Thanksgiving is more of a (somewhat late) harvest festival than a solstice festival.
To be picky, the timescale/locations of #23 is way off:

Socrates (Athens= 470–399 BC

Plato (Athens) 423-348 BC

Aristotles (Athens) 384–322 BC

Archimedes (of Syracuse) some 2-3 centuries later 287-212 BC

Euclid (of Alexandria) was active in Alexandria around 300-270 BC

Hyppocrates (of Kos) 470-360 BC

Pytagoras (of Samos) 570–495 BC

Thucydides (Athens) 460-400 BC

Herodotus (of Halicarnassus) 484-425 BC

Aesop (?) 620-564 BC

Solon (Athens) 630-570 BC

Pericles (Athens) 495–429 BC

Aristophanes (Athens) 446-386 BC

Sophocles (Athens) 497-406

the:

>That some unknown miracle blend of circumstances happened to arrive in Athens in 500 BC leading a tiny city of 250k people to produce Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Archimedes, Euclid, Hippocrates, Pythagoras, Thucydides, Herodotus, Aesop, Solon, Pericles, Aristophanes, and Sophocles, and that it might be possible to intentionally recreate such conditions today around the world and spur incredible human flourishing, and why aren’t we working on this?

is more accurately something like:

In the course of several centuries over a vast territory comprising almost all inhabited mediterranean countries some 10-15 people excelled in their fields and many of them happened to live in the main city (and cultural capital) of the area.

Sounds a lot less a miracle, between 630 and 300 BC is three centuries.
In Canada, I've frequently seen outlets installed ground up: usually in newer buildings and more often in commercial buildings than residences. I have been told that ground up is the "correct" way, but I am not trained as an electrician.

EDIT: Upon googling, I can find lots of conflicting opinions, but it appears that the electrical code has nothing to say about it. They can be installed in any orientation: ground up, down, or sideways.
Thanks for the pingback ... I appreciate that. And thanks for acknowledging that I'm trying to help.

It might also help to think of "scope" in the computing sense. Often you have a paragraph in a math paper using symbols one way, then somewhere else the same symbols crop up with a different meaning. But the scope has changed, and when you practise, you can recognise the change of scope.

We reuse variable names in different scopes, and when something is introduced exactly here, only here, and only persists for a short time, sometimes it's not worth giving it a long, descriptive name. That's also similar to what happens in math. If I have a loop counting from 1 to 10, sometimes it's not worth doing more than:

for x in [1..10] {
/* five lines of code */
}

If you want to know what "x" means then it's right there, and giving it a long descriptive name might very well hamper reading the code rather than making it clearer. That's a judgement call, but it brings the same issues to mind.

I hope that helps. You may still not like math, or the notation, but maybe if gives you a handle on what's going on.

PS: There are plenty of mathematicians who complain about some traditional notations too, but not generally the big stuff.
It's not an ideal solution, but I use SponsorBlock to get rid of in-video ads. (The ad section of your linked video has been reported and it is thus automatically skipped thanks to the add-on.)
As someone who's studied math and CS extensively, it's not that mathematicians don't need that rigor it's only certain sub-fields have a culture of this kind of notational rigor. You absolutely see little bubbles of research, 2-4 professors, get sealed off from the rest of the research community because their notational practices are so sloppy that no one wants to bother whereas others make it easy to understand their work.

CS as a field just seems to have a higher base standard for explaining their notation and ideas. It helps in cross-collaboration by making it significantly easier to self study.

Related to this, I'd say math books have a significantly worse pedagogical culture in regards to both notation and defining pre-requisites. It's very common for a math book to say "we expect readers to have taken a discrete math course" and not defining notation despite knowing the topics covered in discrete math vary greatly from school to school and may not overlap. Math professors frequently have to paper over these problems at Uni as they realize the class does not understand some notation. CS are just better about this, and I can only explain it as a part of the culture and tradition.

I’m wondering if a vscode in the terminal could ever exist.
Agreed. That's my strategy for my road bike as well. For an ebike though? The whole point is to make getting places and doing errands easier. I use a cheap beater bike for this kind of trip. I think the only real solution to it right now is to try and mitigate theft with good locks, get insurance for the bike, and have a backup plan for when it inevitably gets stolen anyways. VanMoof including an insurance/replacement policy with their bikes is actually a killer feature I didn't know about.
Ha, you've clearly used better books than me. I've read plenty where they glossed over the notation and expected you to guess.
I think many Vim users look at Emacs and go “Hmm, Emacs is a bit more clunky when I use Emacs to do the exact same things I do in Vim. Therefore, I’ll stick to Vim.”
Yes, I used Firefox for that.
The meaning of legal terms are decided by courts for their jurisdiction.

When I, as european, wrote monopolistic, then that definition can still hold, as the European definition of that term is not decided by US courts.
Pages are very useful when you don't want to dark pattern users (see: social media).

We could make very, very long scrolls of text in real life, but books are more practical.

Similar thing here, not everyone uses "Ctrl-F". Heck, many users don't know how to search (try to ask non technical people, you'd be surprised) and on mobile browsers for example, frequently there's no way to search (or no easy/easily discoverable way to search).
Ultimately I'm not making a legal argument. All I'm saying is that it's very bad for the industry and for the public in general that Apple is the only entity that has access to the cutting edge and that it's only available in their golden cage. It doesn't really matter to me if this is capitalism working correctly or not, or if it's legal or not, ultimately all that matters is that because of this computing is being pushed back, we're not seeing as much competition on performance as we could be, and that's generally bad for everyone. I understand that Apple is just looking out for #1, I just think this is bad for the general public.

From a sample of five random wall warts in my drawer, none of them are polarised, so they can be plugged in either orientation. YMMV.

I was told so, but after googling, I am beginning to doubt it. It may have been a short lived thing.
