What?!

«You cannot understand, Merlin! You are not a man...»

It's just humour from a different "world" [:grin:]
This has the same energy as that "you wouldn't steal a car" ad in IT Crowd.

But it's not far from the truth, and unless 10 news websites report on it online platforms won't even bother with an empty statement. Amazon for example lets vendors transfer good reviews to any other product by just replacing the product entry (name, description, price). Sure you then have reviews for coffee cups under some solder wire, but it fools enough users. And if the reviews are too negative you can just remove the product offer and immediately create it again.

- Key Points

* Researchers used Aboriginal medicinal plants to inhibit efflux pumps in aggressive forms of lung and colon cancer. Flavonoids from these plants suppressed transporter proteins that empower cancer cells to resist SN-38, the active substance of the chemotherapy drug, Irinotecan.

* The plant, Eremophila galeata, offers many medicinal benefits and has been used for thousands of years. The researchers believe related plants may provide even more promising flavonoids. The Eremophila genus, found only in the Australian deserts, comprises roughly 230 species and includes plants with anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, and other therapeutic properties.

* Antibiotic-resistant bacteria appear to produce large amounts of almost identical efflux pumps, allowing them to purge antibiotics from their cells. The researchers believe this same flavonoid, which targets this specific pump protein, may also play a role in treatment of antibiotic resistance.

- Abstract

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major challenge in cancer treatment, and the breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) is an important target in the search for new MDR-reversing drugs. With the aim of discovering new potential BCRP inhibitors, the crude extract of leaves of Eremophila galeata, a plant endemic to Australia, was investigated for inhibitory activity of parental (HT29par) as well as BCRP-overexpressing HT29 colon cancer cells resistant to the chemotherapeutic SN-38 (i.e., HT29SN38 cells). This identified a fraction, eluted with 40% acetonitrile on a solid-phase extraction column, which showed weak growth-inhibitory activity on HT29SN38 cells when administered alone, but exhibited concentration-dependent growth inhibition when administered in combination with SN-38. The major constituent in this fraction was isolated and found to be 5,3',5'-trihydroxy-3,6,7,4'-tetramethoxyflavone (2), which at a concentration of 25 μg/mL potentiated the growth-inhibitory activity of SN-38 to a degree comparable to that of the known BCRP inhibitor Ko143 at 1 μM. A dye accumulation experiment suggested that 2 inhibits BCRP, and docking studies showed that 2 binds to the same BCRP site as SN-38. These results indicate that 2 acts synergistically with SN-38, with 2 being a BCRP efflux pump inhibitor while SN-38 inhibits topoisomerase-1.

- Terms

* Flavonoid: secondary metabolites found in plants. Flavonoids fulfill many functions, including flower coloration, UV filtration, chemical messaging, physiological regulators, and cell cycle inhibitors,

* Secondary metabolite: organic compounds produced by bacteria, fungi, and plants that are not directly involved in development and growth. These compounds typically mediate ecological interactions and often play important roles in defending plants against herbivores. For instance, secondary metabolites may repel or poison herbivores and reduce plant digestibility.
I'm not sure I would call a rubidium oscillator an "atomic clock".

This, on the other hand, certainly qualifies:

https://coverclock.blogspot.com/2017/05/my-stratum-0-atomic-...

The CSAC module is somewhat more expensive, but still cheaper than a Swiss watch :-)

That said, just because you have an atomic frequency reference doesn't mean you have a clock. You still need to compensate for gravitational time dilation (because of General Relativity, time flows faster as your altitude increases and it's actually measurable using atomic clocks) to get TAI atomic time, and then factor in leap seconds for UTC.
OK. So let’s say I want to participate in open source. I release an open source project on the internet. The way I see it, here are my options:

1. I can release it freely, on a project forge like GitHub, and thus nobody has any obligation to pay for it. I can use dual licensing schemes and/or offer commercial support, or solicit donations, but by and large everyone from your average Joe to the fortune 100 are treated the same, because that’s part of the definition of open source and free software, and indeed, part of the draw.

2. I can release it at a cost, but still provide it under an open source license, but because it’s open source, someone can simply release the source code when they pay for it. In practice this actually has worked out this way; take a look at how this has been attempted with the Patron model for emulation software, for example.

3. Do #1 but ask politely (or impolitely) for big companies (how big?) to pay back when they take advantage of open source software. Create a culture wherein using open source projects implies obligations that may not be written out explicitly. This is a commonly expressed viewpoint when people talk about the problem of compensating open source maintainers, and it’s where the “extralegal” part comes in, wherein there are social expectations that contradict the license.

Selling software under a license that doesn’t allow redistribution would obviously fail almost any open source or free software definition, so I’m struggling to think of another potential interpretation here.
Can’t one dish essentially serve an entire region through wiring to it?

€600 for an entire village/favela/whatever else to have some form of internet sounds fairly reasonable in the early 21st century. And prices will surely go down over the next few years.
Ambani is oftened referred to as an arabpati (a billionaire) at least in Hindi language media.

Kharab is more obscure as until now I thought a kharab was one trillion.
I’m sure a somewhat large team manages or has access to that account, and it’s possible that one of them fell for some social engineering attack. It’s still a bit shameful that country and state representatives cannot use better security practices, including two factor authentication.

BTW, the distribution of 500BTC to citizens could be a joke based on a past campaign statement by him that he would bring back all “black money” stashed abroad by Indian citizens and that would result in each Indian getting 15 Lakh rupees (1.5 million rupees) in their bank accounts. The actual wording of this promise was different, but it became a constant joke when he failed to get the claimed dirty money back. For comparison, the per capita income in India when that was announced was around 70,000 rupees.
I keep reading about how AutoML will make things more efficient, but in my experience it's been hideously expensive in both time and cost (and I am therefore guessing energy), and had yielded marginal improvements at best. Often I have encountered AutoML in the form of an overfit model with test data leaks that has underperformed in prod having overperformed in test.

So - I don't see how AutoML is going to discover more efficient layers without expending loads of energy, can you describe how it will contribute to lowering the whole energy budget?

On the models as oss thing - I think everyone likes this idea, but models are not the same as code andoss doesn't always produce good code cf. desktop linux.

Surprise, they never went away! They just hype other things now.

Serious question: how much does it benefit to accelerate terminal on GPU? Is it really worth the effort?
Most of the world relies on mobile devices and mobile networks for their connectivity needs. Starlink isn't going to really move the needle in the developing world.
amazing project. It's where art meets technology. Art because I feel more then just technology-envy looking at this. The timing of this project makes me feel differently about it than if I'd have seen this in 2019. There is something both beautiful but also dystopian about it. And the problem isn't the project but my own feelings this raises.

Hell yeah I want one.
I oppose putting people in camps.
> the full context switching logic is three inline asm instructions

You tell the compiler that you clobber the caller-saved registers (GPD_CLOBBERS), so in terms of cost it’s not just three asm instructions. Since these are caller-saved registers they will be live at every point in your code, even if your task switch routine is inlined. You have to consider the code the compiler generates to preserve the caller-saved registers before invoking your instruction sequence when evaluating total cost. This is an additional cost that is not necessary in callback style.
This is an honest question. What is the advantage of GPU acceleration for a terminal emulator?

I don’t do much low level graphics stuff, but a terminal seems fairly simple graphically, you are just drawing glyphs at xy cords. Would love it if someone had a good explanation.

Obviously there are some terminal applications that could be redrawing very quickly, but that seems like a solved problem.
"It makes financial sense to offer (mandate?) boosters as often as we can."
A lot of other games (the first one that comes to my mind is Zelda:BotW) also have NPC routines, opening hours etc. but if you look closer it's just a simple O(1) mapping between time ranges and expected state. It gets much more complicated when you actually try to pull off NPCs that may decide to do different things based on their modeled traits, react to in-world events or player actions etc. which I assume is what grandparent was talking about.
Don't expect the crypto fanatics of Twitter hacks to exercise discretion. Remember the 2020 doubling scam [1]? Hundreds of high profile accounts hijacked and the best they could do is the most ancient trick in the book.

I have to wonder what the combined effect of all these scams is on the BTC price. It can't be good for public opinion for Bitcoin to be "that thing that hackers and scam artists keep promoting on twitter".

Maintainers have responsibility over their code, not how it is integrated. Here the problem is entirely in their code, it is not depending on the downstream project or any way it is used there.
You mean like what they did to Aaron Swartz?
Suggestion how to manage node_modules: When testing different modules use npm/yarn, but once you have decided which module to use, fork the module on Github (most node_modules are on Github) then link directly to your fork in package.json like this: https://github.com/{user}/{module}/tarball/master
Now you can use git/Github instead of npm to manage package updates.

Never had to deal with a rat problem, but lemme put myself in the shoes of someone who tried using cheap single-mouse traps and found they didn’t work. At that point I would google for the most effective poison (using some metric like time to death or LD50 per kg), check exterminator forums to see what they use as a last resort, etc. If the product is as deadly as promised, I’d give it a 5* rating and recommend it to all my IRL friends.

Personally I’ve been burned by milquetoast products such as “eco friendly” cleaning liquids that just don’t work. Product with many warning labels that are clearly targeted towards professionals are so much more effective in general.
PV solar panels might not be the most efficient system overall, but they’re modular, easy to maintain, safe to DIY (for low voltage off grid systems), keep getting cheaper per watt due to economies of scale, and have lots of easily available information on how to make the best use of them.

Net CO2 is one measure of badness, but damage to human health is likely a more relevant one personally. Wood is much worse for locals and better for people on the other side of the planet. Natural gas is almost clean by comparison, fuel oil is worse, and coal is terrible but still better than wood.
The folks who work at Adoptium contain many OpenJDK committers (especially from Red Hat and Microsoft) so it does contribute back (but you’ll see folks using their company addresses). I agree that can confuse folks
Oh it's exceptional; the film itself, like Merlin, is almost an artefact from the world that was slipping away. Only some of our most gifted filmmakers could conceive of how to go about this kind of project, let alone pull it off.
This should be re-titled. It is inaccurate. It implies that some notable percentage of MacOS/iOS is published. Nothing of the sort is true.

They publish a tiny minority of those systems that they are forced to due to the licenses of components they use in those systems.

I also found the evidence against the killing to be pretty weak. It certainly doesn't establish what percentage of disabled babies would be killed.

Intuitively, to me, given how dangerous birthing was for the mother, I imagine only seriously disabled babies - that would never be autonomous as an adult - would be killed.

But I guess we'll never know.
Twitter should implement a feature to allow different people to manage a shared account with a separately set up 2FA for each individual that needs access to the account. It would be entirely feasible to do so, and Twitter is a 36B USD company so they should be able to implement it.
Nice flamebaiting, keep it up and you'll soon be banned from HN which would be a net positive.
I created a YouTube ad to promote home battery storage systems. In the ad was approx 3 seconds of a screenshot of a BBC news article about rising energy prices.

On the sidebar of BBC news in fairly small text was the word ‘coronavirus’.

Google banned my ad because of this.

So instead of reading this nasty list of anti-British propaganda pieces, there's an actually decent list of British books, which was put online by "Culture Trip", whoever they are:

This covers a wide range of history, and does cover (pre)modern culture - Zadie Smith's "White Teeth", for example.

One thing I think not mentioned, often times when mixing English and Arabic words you need to use &lrm; and &rlm; html entities to force the words into proper order.

Using dir=rtl or any text alignment css doesn't work, you need to go in and adjust the words individually by wrapping them in those entities.
Here's a better idea, can't you have an npm cache/clone that keeps all the artifacts you use in your code? So you pull from it, it pulls from npm and caches?
No, it is not.

Do you disagree with the concept?

It has been a very, very long time since written Chinese was a substantially ideograph-based language.

You can find plenty of criticism of the the Twitter left. Hell they do it to themselves, especially with incessant purity tests. Jimmy Dore comes comes to mind as well as how he turned on Cenk Uygur and the whole so called "Force the Vote" Fiasco as well as the "Bloody Monday" conspiracy.

r/enough_sanders_spam documents some of their dumb takes but that sub devolves more into bashing anyone to the left of Joe Biden.

As for my personal views,they don't really matter but I try and find hypocrisy in the "eat the rich" crowd as well as the hard right wingers.

Also one other thing that matter is that what the public perceives Parler as. I believe it has been forever associated with the Jan 6 riots and voter fraud allegations, so whether it was instrumental to these things or not does not necessarily matter but the public's perception of them does.

Think Ronald Reagan for example, modern people have a lot of to object about his presidency and many did then as well, but he enjoyed strong approval ratings throughout his presidency. During his reelection campaign, he had many issues while speaking like stuttering etc. but during his second debate with Walter Mondale, he was able to dispel all fears about his age and capabilities almost instantaneously.

Absolutely, I find this claim of "created santa" is so silly that it sounds like revisionist history. Kazakhstan, Lithuania and other regions have "Santa" traditions that go back over a hundred years and it is mostly indistinguishable than the "propaganda" version.

Is it more complicated than wanting to update the display as often as its fresh frequency? Faster screen updates, lower CPU & power usage.

You might not notice the difference until you accidentally unleash a lot of output at once - then you'll see the difference. Some terminals start to update infrequently to save themselves, some hang completely while burning the CPU.

Psychologically I feel more in control of my computer, more confident to try things out if I can see my typing updating instantly than 10s or 100s of milliseconds later.
It's a bit of both. Delivering an internet connection to a remote mountain or desert location is a hard problem. It's compounded by other tech problems like an unreliable electricity supply. If the people there have very few resources it's even harder.

There are jails. I use both Linux (since 1.2.13) and FreeBSD (since 4.0), there are not much differences to keep up in FreeBSD, rather than between Linux distributions and new vs. old versions of these distributions. FreeBSD has always been consistent and there's no hype driven change occuring, breaking things up and always creating annoyances for the grumpy sysadmin.
So now instead of social engineering the government intern all they have to do is social engineer the phone company. It’s called sim swapping. 2FA is bullshit and doesn’t work in practice.

You're basically using two different sides of your brain.

The analytical brain needs to juggle complex things, with a stack of size max approx 7, after which most humans struggle.

On the other side, the creative side of the brain can "think" as it works and often talks to itself, listen to conversation, as the motor side of the brain takes more power than the problem solving side.

Music can help either sides, to a certain point. E.g. in a loud and annoying open office, music can help zone out. However, in a quiet home, music can become more of a distraction than helping focus.

YMMV, this is based on my personal experience of 20+ years.
Well since GPU acceleration minimizes latency (because of zero-copy, all character textures are resident in video memory), that is a boon to perceived responsiveness. IMO that is the single most important feature in a terminal, next to correctness. It’s like typing on an old serial terminal.
I can think that somebody is a bad person, even suspect that is a criminal. This is a personal opinion. Not problem with it.

But If I say in a public media that a known public figure is a criminal or eats children alive for dinner, and I repeat this for months with a clear purpose of obtaining a personal benefit for me. If I do this while refusing to show any real proof of it and, when cornered by the truth, I claim that it was just my opinion and should be respected... well, this is a different issue.

We would be moving in the field of defamation. Libel can destroy lives and is not a thing to be taken lightly.

People here complaining about the size of the node modules folder - this is one of the reasons people use other solutions like perforce. Checking a 2GB folder into p4 is an absolute no brainer, and for all the flexibility people talk about with git, it's inability to handle this is pretty damning after so many years.
This reminds me of all the unholy things I’ve seen done with excel over the years.

One guy I worked with at a big corp IT shop had broken PowerPoint and the IT guys couldn’t fix it (turned out to be a profile corruption issue). So he did his presentation in excel with and wrote something that captured a mouse click and used it to activate the next sheet in the workbook. I was vaguely impressed as he wasn’t a programmer by any means.
Mine only chirps when the battery dies. Of course, it's always at 3am and I don't have any 9v batteries. Worse now is none of the stores are open 24 hours so you have to suffer 'til 6am or pay $5 at a gas station for a battery.
I believe that there is a difference. I would just love to understand it better.

Does anyone have a benchmark of the differences? Is it like a 2-3x improvement or only much smaller? What is the actual latency?

Does anyone have any links to a low level explanation?
