Not relevant to the article, but well-written single and double precision floating point large matrix GEMM on mainstream CPUs is basically computation-bound -- look at performance figures -- and is relatively unusual in that. (You probably need to worry about prefetching to get there, though.)
This is the only appropriate response.
The US federal government does, as do many western governments. Research that involves humans usually comes under many delineations and sub-delineations with precise names that reflect specific ways in which the research takes place and the corresponding laws and regulations which the researchers must follow.

Determining which category a specific research project comes under usually involves checking specific criteria, in the US they have flowcharts, in Europe they have tables. Either way you can be sure a lot of people are going to be looking at it, most of whom have had to undertake ethics training as part of their career, and some of whom have spent their entire life studying these questions and seen them put to the test over hundreds of trials.

In that light, whether this category of research has got "human" in its name is not going to get you far wrt understanding the problem at hand.

"Saboteurs" is tongue in cheek. There might be some actual saboteurs in the world, but most people are doing these things out of incompetence or neuroses or personal advantage.

Bob hates to work with X, but Bob's boss's boss got a kickback for signing a contract with X vendor, so now Bob is going to follow every policy to the letter on the X project until it fails or his request for reassignment goes through.

Carol has OCD. You give her a policy book and she's going to read it cover to cover and create her own index to it and make citations to individual provisions whenever she sees anyone violating it, even if they're only violating the letter and not the spirit.

Alice does the same thing but it's because she's an opportunist, so she only looks for policy violations as retaliation for not getting her way and people learn not to cross her.
My only advice would be have a backup plan (redundancy) . I.e. Design basic version that works and dont get blocked as bot, then design another one. This will save you from situation like described below where your original method stopped working, but your client wants data now (because yjey pay for it). And be nice, dont take data you dont need. Keep it easy on servers.
I think you're skipping the really big obvious answer, which isn't features or graphical interfaces: Money. Photoshop, Autodesk, Office, etc. are huge money makers, so they can throw developers and designers at improving things. Server Linux is largely driven by billion-dollar companies investing.
Everyone feels that way, but people hold different perspectives when they scrutinize exactly what that means and how it would work.

There is no evidence of souls existing, they are unable to be measured in any way. Unless they have several magical rules and violate physics (but only sometimes and are still somehow undetectable), then your brain would still have all those same thoughts about how it feels strongly about having a soul, because that's part of how the ego hard-coded into your brain works.

I don't particularly like the view you're espousing, not only because its inconsistent without explanation but because it creates a group of "others" where those with a different philosophical viewpoint are now literally "unfeeling robots" to you.
I would say a step further: instruction manuals are inundated with worthless warnings, and there is no sense to the user which are real threats. If you believe instruction manuals, no device should ever be used for its intended purpose, all filters should be changed once every 14 hours, and anything with a fan should be placed on the floor in the exact centre of a 20'x20' room.

There is maybe a quarter page of useful text in the average 20 page manual.

Warnings in instruction manuals about novel threats are completely worthless.
Almost all do. Most don't leach, or leach amounts too small to pose a significant danger.

It specifies that the source of the lead is the paint or glaze. I didn't think lead paint was still a thing, but some quick googling is making me a little nervous... It seems quite a few modern mugs contain some amount of lead.

Look into helping others. Create a foundation for a cause you believe in. See what you could enact. You will reap rewards far greater by giving yourself to a cause. Sacrifice, not pleasure is the source of greatness, energy and happiness in life.

I come from a country with a massive poverty problem, and yesterday was hearing about some great initiatives in there. It made me wonder what I am dedicating my life to (regular well paying job, etc.), by living a comfortable life now in a wealthy country (NL). Feel free to reach out for ideas.
Dune, by Frank Herbert.

Bear with me on this. It was a bridge into politics, ecology, religion, and economics, as well as an amazing world-building narrative. It got me interested in philosophy and literature, and the roles they play in creating, describing, or influencing cultures. It is my keystone book.
Take some time to unwind and let yourself relax. You have entered into an unknown territory, so it is natural to be afraid, but try not to get overwhelmed. By the time you finish your studies you will have a better idea of what you want to do going forward.

However, there is also the possibility that you have completed your karma in this area. It is possible that this was one layer of purpose, which you have now fulfilled, on the way to another layer of purpose, closer to your deepest purpose.

[...]

The next layer of your unfolding purpose may make itself clear immediately. More often, however, it does not. After completing one layer of purpose, you might not know what to do with your life. You know that the old project is over for you, but you are not sure of what is next. At this point, you must wait for a vision.

There is no way to rush this process. You may need to get an intermediary job to hold you over until the next layer of purpose makes itself clear. Or, perhaps you have enough money to simply wait. But in any case, it is important to open yourself to a vision of what is next. You stay open to a vision of your deeper purpose by not filling your time with distractions. Don’t watch TV or play computer games. Don’t go out drinking beer with your friends every night or start dating a bunch of women. Simply wait. You may wish to go on a retreat in a remote area and be by yourself. Whatever it is you decide to do, consciously keep yourself open and available to receiving a vision of what is next. It will come.

When it comes, it usually won’t be a detailed vision. You will probably have a sense of what direction to move in, but the practical steps might not make themselves clear. When the impulse begins to arise, act on it. Don’t wait for the details. Learn by trial and error what it is you are to do.

[...]

And then, one day, a few years later, it is finished. This layer has dissolved. And the cycle begins again, and again, until you have penetrated all the layers into your deepest purpose. Then, you act fully, until that purpose, too, is dissolved in the bliss of the love that you are.

Get a therapist or a life coach.

Sounds dumb now but he will help you reflect on what you want, what you need, what is in the dark. Maybe there was something wrong in the first place and you did not know. Talk to somebody independent. Get your thoughts reflected back at you.

You are now in a phase where you have always worked for, you reached your goals... great but nobody tells you what comes after. Take some time off and reflect with somebody. Then you will find out what you like and what you want to do. You are out in the open now, that is scary and there is just openness around you.

It will take some time, but try to enjoy life. Try stuff. Try travelling, try hiking or sports or arts or music. You will find something that you want to do.

Be smart about it and move forward.
I am in a similar position although not as extreme. But I also suddenly reached all my intermediate goals all at once. So now what...

Another option is a round-the-world backpacking trip, or something like that.

But these are much easier if they're already hobbies or interests.
You make a good point, and I think there is fear in that the hobbies that we used to enjoy get replaced by something less substantive, even less “productive” - scrolling for endless content, engaging in short-term meaningless comment threads like this, consuming information that the brain forgets within hours.
Sure, but I’m suspicious when it’s the only one cited out of a “bunch” by a clearly hostile Tech Dirt. Some quick searches on Untappd suggest there are a number of breweries using Hershey trademarks unambiguously to imply their beer has one set of flavors or another. That’s likely infringement whether Hershey makes beer or not.
Oh interesting. Can you elaborate on that? Curious to hear your approach.
So much so that I can't help but wonder if this is a bit of an inside joke.

In the Chicago area I just about lost my crud with the new "Marquee Sports Network". It's a $7 a month price hike that every subscriber in the area has to suffer on every single cable provider because the Cubs struck a deal with Sinclair to create the channel.

I don't understand how it's legal. Imagine if Netflix could force everyone in a geographic area to subscribe or lose the ability to stream all non-Netflix stuff. It wouldn't even make sense, but this is what happened here.

I think we should kick the Cubs out of Chicago for pulling a stunt like this during a pandemic when most people are barely able to pay their existing bills. Sports teams are absolute vampires that abuse the local population in the name of obscene profits.

Ultimately people want information from scraping, because to a lot of businesses, the information is what's valuable.

Consider, apart from a tool for general purpose scraping, what information a specialized scraper might obtain for a valuable but underserved industry that can profit from the data.

I have a buddy that scrapes data specifically for the tanker/shipping industry, for example.

General purpose scraping will involve a lot of competition and a bit of an arms race. Niche scraping lets you fly a little below the radar.
More than just an upvote is in order: Thank you! Much appreciated.

If Microsoft will release a version of Visual Studio that runs on ARM, I'll be able to do everything on one machine (there's already an ARM version of Windows, but for whatever reason Visual Studio isn't supported yet... I can kinda understand why, as it needs to do debugging-type stuff that's more hardware-dependent).

I'm extremely pleased with the M1 iMac. Fast and silent. Back in the day I had a dual Athlon, which, while fast for its time, sounded like I had a couple of Dustbusters running under my desk.

He wants to keep his money, not pay a 21 year annuity. As a wealthy guy the worst thing you can do is get married.
The researcher is using the "secret shopper" justification for why secrecy was needed here.

This completely undermines his receipt of exempt status for full review of human subjects in research. If he anticipated that behaviors of recipients would be different as a result of knowing whether or not the communication was an authentic request from a user.

This is a bit of a subtle point and wouldn't necessarily expect a PhD student to pickup: It's really something-- depending on how the application was presented-- that the IRB should have caught. I'm surprised that any IRB would grant an exempt status under those conditions because it fundamentally meant the study was not passive data collection such as a surveys, which usually are exempt.

Hopefully there is a public post mortem of how this approval went down. Considering the adverse impacts on display it was defacto a study that needed complete human subject review.
None. Afaik, all practical implementations of matrix multiplication execute the naive n^3 algorithm because sub-cubic algorithms have too large constant overheads and/or are numerically unstable.

That's peak power. It can only supply that for a few hours each day. And the battery can only supply 350MW for 4 hours.

5x the solar and 10x the battery and you will approach a constant 1GW of power, then add more if you don't want to be knocked out as soon as you have a bad weather day.

That's also peak power, and it doesn't say anything about a battery.

Keep in mind. Firefighters are not fighting people with delirium. Its a different job with a different skill set.

After the George Floyd case cops are hesitant to go one on one. Nobody wants to end up becoming a Derek Chauvin even by accident.
Consider getting involved in some IT area for which you have passion in a nice project (probably open source) and set a fixed amount of time you at least and at most spend on it per-week or bi-weekly and try to keep it.

It also has the benefit that if you somehow lose you money you still have qualifications to show to get a new job even years after you finished you degree.

Assuming software engineering is you passion or hobby.

Alternatively get a hobby which is more like "just consuming time", but will continuously provide challenges and keep you on edge. Preferably one which puts you (from time to time) into contact with people, has conventions (post covid) or similar.
I think your mental model of how SSDs work is a bit inaccurate. Read operations will not trigger wear leveling during normal use. Reads will only cause the SSD to start moving data around if there's a correctable ECC error with the read, prompting the drive to write a fresh and corrected copy. Correctable read errors can crop up from data degradation over time, or from read disturb errors (analogous to DRAM rowhammer). Neither of those causes are even remotely likely unless you have a highly atypical workload that does not at all fit an audio use case. The probability of a latency spike due to these causes leading to an audible glitch is small enough that it should be entirely ignored.

If you're worried about read latency on a scale that could affect an audio workload, the only change to the SSD that might be relevant would be disabling the low-power idle modes, which can take a while to wake up from. Enterprise SSDs have other measures to manage QoS targets that are tighter than what an audio use case requires, and those features are only necessary when dealing with a workload that includes a heavy volume of write operations—not relevant to audiophiles. And enterprise drives definitely don't need to duplicate all your data as a way of avoiding high read latency; it's possible to suspend write operations in order to service a read request that needs to access the same physical block.
Pay no attention to this guy. Give me half your money, and I'll show you the excellent parts of the world. Plus, I know something about investing and inventing, so I'll give you a bunch of advice, like "don't give all your money away at once" (my favorite).
Under Commit and over Deliver – 5 Months of Scrum
Thanks to Log4J developers for turning me off to Java 20yrs ago due to their horrible API design and developer experience. Does not shock me that this security vulnerability happened, but it did shock me that so many people kept using this awful library.

Take your example of the ineffectiveness of the note taking defense in support of a dispute. What would it take to overcome that and still retain control of the recording hosting/mechanism? What features would be necessary so that self-recorded records rise to equal authority with corporate records? Will they ever? What about recorded through a 'notary' service offered by a tech giant that you already resign any sense of privacy with?

A hopeful example of the value of self-recording: Car dashcams are relevant for insurance claims. Or are they?
Well. Gotta die from something anyway. Cannot avoid all that's around us nowadays or I'll die trying within a week from now. Seems to be the deal in our modern world.

Sometimes you need custom driver or taking control of real browser (and i mean real browser, not via webdriver), headless is easily detected.
More likely than not, you have in your mind (or heart, wherever you feel it) small notions of things you might like to try: ideas to explore, creative visions, or ideas of the kind of person you'd like to be or the people you'd like to be around, or skills you wish you possessed (which may be far out of your comfort zone, e.g., learning the violin, social dancing), or problems in the world you'd like to focus on solving.

In my opinion, a state like yours is characterized by not being in the habit of pursuing these inklings of vision; instead, you have lived accordingly to some superseding feeling, like a need to be wealthy or prove yourself as a member of a social class. Not being in the habit of amplifying your whims into genuine curiosity or a vision for life, you suppress them, or they bend back on themselves and turn into pangs of bitterness.

Thus a prescription for you to try: when you feel an impulse like these, take it into your attention gently and nurture it, focus on it even if it doesn't seem like an answer to the question of "what is the most important thing to be doing right now", or "who am I" or "what do I care about"; on its own no little curiosity will answer these, but by building the habit of nurturing these things you will begin to know yourself and learn how to live in a way that is well-aligned rather than self-contradictory, and thus, your desire to act on the world will thrive and govern your actions (what is missing now). And the answers to those bigger questions will become apparent.
