I'm finding the i5 NUC for around 450 EUR incl. VAT (notice EU prices for electronics are almost always higher than US, so you can't just take the US$ value of a Pi and do a direct conversion). I think you need to add RAM though. So it's a little bit more expensive than the four Pis plus adapters plus cluster boards, but very much in the same ballpark.

The CPU in the NUC is i5-1135G7 with a typical TDP of 15W (but allegedly can go up to 28W), and scores 10174 in passmark CPU benchmark. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-1135G...

We don't know total system power draw, but anecdotally these low power intels can be quite efficient (I have a fanless i7 system that idles around 10 watts and IIRC stays well below 20 watts at load).

Android version of Passmark gives 751 points for the Pi 4's CPU: https://www.androidbenchmark.net/phone.php?phone=Raspberry+P...

I don't know if that is comparable with the desktop version. But there's a Phoronix comparison of Pi 4 vs G5900, and G5900 scores 2750 in Passmark. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Raspberr...

If we generously eyeball these Phoronix charts, I'd say the Pi 4 is on average no more than 1/3 as fast as the G5900. If we translate that to Passmark points, the Pi would score around 900. I saw another Google result where a similar comparison was made and they also concluded that the Pi would be around 900 passmark points.

So four Pis ganged together (assuming zero overhead) would score 3600 versus the i5-1135G7's 10k points. That's almost exactly 3x difference.

TLDR is that yes, 10W-15W Intel CPUs are a lot more powerful than a Pi4 or even four Pi4s. And if you actually try to use them, the difference in performance is very evident.

This is why we get those god-awful "this tweet thread should've been a link to a blogpost" monstrosities =)
I use a small Ruby script that fetches some RSS feeds and creates a static HTML page with that content. The script gets executed via cronjob and is hosted locally on my machine, served via python's integrated web server. That way I have basically no loading time when opening a new tab and I'm independant from 3rd party services that close down or change in unwanted ways.

I use the 'New Tab Redirect' extension to set a local web page for new tabs in Chromium.
Upper left corner: "Block Vibes, Curated by Jay-Z" is probably the most silicon valley thing I've ever seen on a website.

> Where are the disclosing of state-linked information operations linked to USA, UK, or France?

Government-run accounts are already visibly marked as such. The US, UK, France or most Western nations don't need to resort to dirty, "undercover" operations as there are way more than enough people to spread our respective governments' position.
See the result in this page: dark mode users were presented something broken that completely ruined the main effect of the article, where it wasn’t immediately obvious why it was broken, and which they can’t easily switch away from; whereas if it had done nothing they would have received something admittedly inferior in an important way (light) but functional, by default, and if they use Dark Reader, something superior and functional.
But why is there no methadon to slowly quit google? A search engine, that just appends to its results the first page of google results?
I believe Firefox and Chrome do not allow you to set a local html file as a new tab page. You can set it as a home page but then you need to manually navigate to it after creating a new tab.

You most certainly can’t unless your code is unsafe and in that case the comparison isn’t so interesting anymore.

Honestly DuckDuckGo doesn't censor anything. It just uses the bing index with a few custom results. I have been unable to find an example for which DDG and bing would produce different results though.

And the fact that the our societies have been rushing towards totalitarianism doesn't make Putin Mr. Nice Guy all of a sudden. It is not that simple.
It's a good disclosure, so I don't want to remove the merit out of it.

But it also shows they have the capacity to target and remove accounts when they need to, but they let bots run rampant.

Last week I quoted HN on twitter, and the article name contained something about a pirated instagram account.

In under a minute, I received a dozen answers to that tweet, phishing attempts by bots pretenting they could help me with what they thougth was me, loosing my insta account.

So twitter can easily find them: setup a honeypot, wait for bots to show up, ban them to oblivion.

Since the service is now playing a game where you need to provide your phone number to create an account (they say they don't, but practically, they do), it's quite pricey to create bots nowaday.

They could destroy thousands of bots in a week.

They don't.

Ask HN: Would you get a laptop or desktop for a 9yr old?
I'm really on the fence on this. Here is my short-list of Pro/Cons:

>> LAPTOP PRO

— fluid ergonomics —
These days our son uses our laptop usually on the couch, laying down. This is way more comfortable than sitting down.
— mobility — Has the ability to take the laptop on a trip/plane

>> LAPTOP CON

— high risk for damage / delicate / low longevity —
Because it is mobile it can risk damage during travel or just carrying it around.

— 2x LESS bang for the $ — He is a gamer and it would cost 2x more to get the same performance as the desktop

>> DESKTOP PRO

— 2x MORE Bang for the $ —
— 2x larger Screen
— Less Delicate

— More Parental Control — if I set it up in our living room, we can get a better sense of what he is doing.

>> DESKTOP CON

— rigid ergonomics —

He will be forced to sit still for 2-3hrs. ( im debating if this is a negative thing! ) but it will basically start him on a sitting habit very early in his development life.
*Now, im thinking I can just setup a standing desk for him instead..which would tire him out quicker and reduce his usage. hmm
Japan uses it.
> If I were Booking.com or a flight company, for example, I would support the anti-vax side of things.

How does that make sense? How does a more vulnerable population help booking.com? You'd think they'd want to overcome the pandemic too?

Sure, they might be anti-lockdown, and might get lumped with anti-vax, but there is less than zero benefit for travel-related companies in advocating against vaccinations.

I had the opposite experience. My last job had fixed lunch breaks. I also walked there - 4 kilometres a day in total.

From my experience, most messaging in Australia is done on FB Messenger and Instagram, or by SMS/iMessage.

Before I started lifting, I dreaded making coffee in the morning. I always hoped my girlfriend would get up first and make it. I was shaky holding the pot of water with 1 hand while I poured it into the machine.

Now when I get up in the morning and make coffee it is effortless and I don't even think about it. Fill a pot with water and pour it into the machine. And I feel upbeat while doing it.

This is something that would be very easy to not self-observe. I overlooked the before/after difference myself. Just one day I noticed "hey making coffee is easier than it used to be". Being physically fit is good for many little things in life. Things you will not even notice and take for granted.

Fighting for Medical Cannabis in Ireland – Vera Twomey
Vera Twomey’s daughter Ava suffered up to 100 seizures a day, and Vera feared that without cannabis, Ava could die. In her book “For Ava” dedicated to her daughter, she writes “ I strove to think of a way to alleviate her suffering and give her a chance at a better, healthier life.” Vera has been a fierce and relentless advocate for access to medical cannabis in Ireland, after discovering it could help her daughter Ava when nothing else worked. Vera shares her families story with Montel on this episode of Let’s Be Blunt. She walked 200 miles from her home in Cork to Dublin to raise awareness and force political dialogue on the subject and was joined by thousands of supporters along the way. Her family had to become medical refugees in Holland at one point in order to get the medication their daughter desperately needed. You won’t want to miss hearing this families incredible story!

You can check topics like "influencing without authority" https://medium.com/atlassian-product-management-blog/how-to-...
Another thing to remember is that people learn, think and express opinions differently. For example some people might need to think through a topic for a couple of days before they are ready to present their opinion. For this category I find it useful to send the topic and a few links or any kind of info, including a high level meeting agenda a few days before the meeting. Then you have people that are spontaneous and can think and express their ideas on the spot. For them you need to make sure they get the space to do that without becoming too loud and taking the time from the others.
It all comes down to understand the people you work with and what is their style. Try to cater for all styles though different techniques. Have a good agenda and clear rules - you can use https://www.idoarrt.com/ and send prior info so people have time to research.

The interview is quite interesting, and she definitely comes off as a very smart and articulate person.

Then, out of curiosity, I decided to click on that TikTok link on her website. I really am baffled how somebody can make 6 figures a day by promoting their courses via lip-synced 10 seconds video pointing out the most obvious “tricks” that exist. What is the appeal of having someone lip-sync and dance over a tutorial? Am I really so out of touch with the general public?

Not true! A lot of code written for financial applications, and a lot of the complexity in those systems, is there just to synchronize, reconcile and settle between the independent data silos maintained by the various entities involved in a transaction. Blockchains can do a lot to eliminate that complexity.

Also, there are interesting advantages to the transaction authorization model that blockchains have whereby a message is valid only if signed by the sender, enforced down to the data layer.

Socialist economies need growth or else all your citizens start leaving and you have to build a wall. That and it's cruel to not let their economy grow when everyone started out in poverty. China is obsessed with economic growth.

Hardly any economic motivations are removed by getting rid of shareholder capitalism; you still have markets, a growing population, and you still need productivity to increase.

Oh, and eliminating growth would destroy the environment because 1. environmentalism is a luxury good 2. low-productivity technologies consume much more resources than modern ones do.

>Amazing this wasn't a bigger story here in Indiana

Because they know their customers. "Elderly amateur archeologist has collection seized by FBI for doing basically what professional state sanctioned archeologists do but without state permissions" would go over like a lead balloon pretty much anywhere that isn't fairly affluent and left leaning. The details here don't paint a charitable picture of the FBI unless you go into this with a lot of priors that the FBI are the good guys (and generally speaking being "not poor" and "not right" are prerequisites to those priors). This isn't a cache of antique machine guns so you don't get the benefit of having ~half the people who care biased against the guy from the get go.

There's zero chance Miller's heirs want and have the capability to do anything do to with several shipping containers worth of archeological junk that need to be cared for lest it go bad. The only thing the FBI did here was accelerate the process of combing through the collection, repatriating remains as applicable and cold calling museums and asking if they want junk as applicable by making it happen during his life rather than immediately after. Regardless of who his heirs were they almost certainly would have gotten in contact with someone who knew their archeology and had them see the collection, the bones and native stuff paired together would have raised flags, they'd have called authorities and we'd be right in the same place.

So what good came out of any of this?

That said, I think as far as the feds go they acted pretty reasonably here, way less needless destruction than I'm used to expecting from them.
I meant something like a FOSS framework. I know that's not free as in free beer, but I'm poor.
edit: weirder, naive Julia (1.7 on Linux) is terrible. 45 KB/s.

Ruby is slightly slower than Python or Rust, 11 MB/s. I was expecting Python to be slowest among the interpreted languages, apparently not. Pypy yields a speedup to 70 MB/s.

Summing naive implementations (for each i: start with empty string, append fizz/buzz based on the modulus of each, then conditionally append i and print):

Julia 45 KB/s
Ruby 11 MB/s
CPython 15 MB/s
Rust 16 MB/s
Pypy 70 MB/s
C 160 MB/s
When I saw this a few weeks ago it set off a lot of thinking about compilers and ML.

Even the unoptimized C version is 10x slower than the one that is painstakingly optimized.

Some of this performance gain will certain be achievable by ML/AI assisted compilers and translators. In that case, even a 2x speedup would be game changing. Is anyone using ML in compilers yet? The part where you verify the code still does what you wanted it to do seems trickiest.
The analog nature of neural processing is frustratingly nonanalogous to digital computing. I’d really like to see more oscillatory computing systems built, like the von Neumann harmonic injector or the parametron. Using oscillators like central pattern generators is more common in robotics but there are much more powerful oscillatory computers that have simply never been built. That’s frustrating only because I think we’d learn a lot more about the way oscillations are used for computation in the brain.
Europe for example, isn't a COVID free haven, quite the opposite.

Do we know if Europe actually has stricter mask mandates (that are observed) and more mask wearing, like you seem to be suggesting? Because based on my casual observation I'd say no.

It’s going to be interesting how services like copilot affect the quality of programmers who start their studies with it available as a tool. It will also have an interesting knock on effect on hiring? Someone could have a portfolio almost entirely generated but not a literal copy of anything else.

Wouldn't this be an actual ideal use case for facial recognition? Apple wanted to do CSAM before upload, Twitter could do consent-checking before posting.

Users might consider saying "I do not want my images being public" and can be prohibited before posting.

Taking it down after it's posted is useless, it'll be in caches all over the world and by that time, it's too late.

For example, every reddit post ever posted (or near enough) are scraped in real time (pushbullet, bigquery etc) so the take-downs need to happen before it hits public APIs.

I also think we need to enforce consent, and begin taking action against tech firms - if I did not consent and they allowed it to be published, they should be held to account. They need stronger measures to ensure consent was freely and fairly given.
The problem is the time between when the video is published and when it gets seen by enough people to be considered newsworthy.

I had a development machine once that had the weirdest problem building one particular C# project. Always complaining that one particular Microsoft DLL was missing. Double check references and Nuget, everything looks right, do a full package restore, no joy. Antivirus was eating this particular DLL every time it was downloaded.

I copied a bit-for-bit identical version of the file from a different machine into the correct directory, and bizarrely that worked fine.

Wax (https://www.wax.run/) lets you build internal tools on top of existing Google Sheets your team already uses. We help you automate annoying DevOps tasks like updating data in SQL. You can create a bidirectional link between Google Sheets and your database (Postgres, Snowflake, MySQL, Redshift, and SQL Server) in a couple clicks. You can also attach buttons in Sheets to Python and SQL scripts (e.g. hit an API using values from the current Sheet, process the results with Python, and return the results to Sheets). Actions can be scheduled to run hourly, daily or whatever cadence works for you.

Citing something from one of the OPs posts on github

> The web & user agency doesn't deserve to be hurt like that & such aggression should be actively strenously heavily resisted.

I think a lot of people (who are mostly developers, since this hasn't affected the end users yet) are watching the situation with a similar feeling. I've myself considered just straight up writing a new browser, but that is obviously an insurmountable task for a single person in the current age of the web. I hate having to do politics, but I think it's time to do politics. Someone (like OP) needs to organize, write a petition, run a public poll, propose an actual way forward, more widely publicize the corrupt nature of what Google is doing with MV3 and get an actual voice out there. I bet lots of people would be willing to contribute financially or otherwise.
It has applications on bare-bone embedded systems for handling interrupt routines for example. You still need to check your registers and restore them according to the processors manual. You might also want to test performance since C compilers often generate good and fast code themselves.

Otherwise it really should not be done. It is extremely unlikely that it helps with performance problems. The article list the exceptions. Perhaps add interrupts to that, since you always want them to return as fast as possible. Not really needed on a higher level platforms though.
