Route 1 seems like a local-road to me with lots of traffic lights though.

I-95 works really well as long as its clear. But as soon as an emergency happens, the spillover traffic is too massive for Route 1 to ever hope to handle. An interstate-highway can't rely upon a traffic-light laden local road to handle the traffic from a 4-lane interstate.

EDIT: In the case of the 2017 eclipse, the traffic was so heavy that truckers started to pile up on the side of the roads (allegedly due to the laws stating that they could only drive for X hours at a time). Losing a few lanes slowed down traffic dramatically, causing even more truckers to just pull over due to legal requirements. I don't think the GPS / Waze ever recommended for us to leave I-95 during this time, so Rt. 1 was never a consideration.

----------

A 2-lane highway without traffic lights that runs parallel would help a lot. I don't know the lay of the land in Virginia (ideally such a road would be coordinated with local suburbs / local cities to lessen day-to-day traffic as well).
It also taught me the value of enthusiast built software. A nearly blind friend of mine was able to use Linux for music recording in Ardour (thanks again Ardour/Paul, you rock) with the ezoom function in compiz! The only problem was that it had a limit of something reasonable like 8x, but my friend often required a bit more than that. I emailed the maintainer and he added it within an hour! We were both so used to dealing with the various exploitative zoom software providers on Windows that charged an arm and a leg for support, and new features were only added in future expensive upgrades that our minds were totally blown. Thanks again, Kristian! If you ever read this, you really made our year.
Yes, but dimensionality reduction is a thing. IQ is just PCA. Intelligence is multidimensional, but it happens to have one large principal component. It could have been otherwise, but it is just not so, here on Earth with Homo sapiens.
Their faces had been butchered and begging for attention. Exactly the same that Jocelyn Wildenstein did to herself.

I always think that there must be a component of drug addiction in people that undergoes so much extreme transformations, and still go back for more. Maybe Painkillers applied in those surgeries have something to do with that. Is a trap for rich people affected from personal insecurities
This series is so good but it is unfinished with the last video being uploaded 5 years ago. I want for Chris to finish it so badly.
That's fair. I think I actually remember reading somewhere that worldwide height is catching up with European height, and what was posited to be genetic differences was actually due to nutrition. Don't have a source at hand, though.

> It sounds like you are someone who doesn’t believe intelligence can be measured.

I'm certainly skeptical about the utility of IQ or any other test as a general measure of "intelligence", when what intelligence even means is an active matter of debate.
The focus on the mating part: if they don't produce an above replacement level of babies they are leading the lives of gay men functionally.
It's remarkable how quickly our vehicles and roads succumb to such conditions. I used to drive that route on I95, and in the winter I would always pack a blanket and bottled water. I can only imagine having children with me.

From an infrastructure perspective, realistically, I suppose it isn't feasible to account for more extreme snowfall.

Also, you claim the story is "much more important" than the recipe itself. So then I guess you would enjoy these recipes pretty much equally if they completely removed the ingredients of what they actually cooked? It's so much less important, after all.
It happens to trains, too.

> Around 430 passengers in Niigata Prefecture were forced to spend the night on a packed four-car train after it got stranded Thursday evening by heavy snow along the Sea of Japan coast.

> About 110 passengers on a Sanyo Shinkansen bullet train bound for Shin-Osaka Station stayed overnight on the train at Okayama Station, western Japan, after the train arrived around 2am on Monday.

> The train had been stranded en route for about two hours due to a breakdown of railway equipment, apparently caused by snow.

(I'd rather be stuck in a train, that said.)
It's not fluff to me -- it's human connection. Why we cook the way we do is deeply linked to our history and our "life stories".
You're not asking the right question. Caloric expenditure during exercise varies a lot based on body size and other factors. The risk of injury varies based on sport and technique: trail running has a much higher injury risk than using an elliptical machine.

If you're starting an exercise program then ignore calories. Start out doing short, low intensity workouts. Then gradually ramp up the intensity and length over several months. This will give your body time to adapt to the load and minimize injury risk.
> At this point I'm convinced that the entire antivirus industry is a scam scheme for the most part.

I was always under the impression that Microsoft does not fix or is extremely slow at fixing particular virus-allowing bugs due to their business model of licensing access to system features, you have to access to be able to build an antivirus software.

I don't know Windows internals but I imagine that your usual game or text editor does not have and cannot gain access to kernel, bootloader etc, that AVs have.
"Deprioritized" means moved down the fold of the page. Like, for example, the 3-4 ads at the top that used to not be there. And various other widgets that used to not be there. Ads in SERPS started out in the right hand sidebar only. Such that organic results were at the top. They were slowly moved down over time by a slow rollout of more ads and widgets. There are many queries now with ZERO organic results above the page fold.

None of this is in dispute, so I don't feel compelled to dredge up old screenshots or examples.

Comparing the page layout to competitors isn't especially helpful when Google has 90%+ market share in search. Google is defining the standard for others.

Your point is totally valid, most high end careers are overtly hostile toward raising a family. I think it's a different tangentially related issue than that of this study. There's a difference between intelligent and ambitious individuals. Granted there's a certain intelligence filter in the capacity for a student to memorize and temporarily retain information, completing a medical residence is much more an act of attrition and perseverance than critical thinking. The tests administered in this study were puzzles like letter matrices and verbal analogies. I'm sure anybody can come up with plenty of anecdotes to the contrary. Under achievers who might smash these logical puzzles but bother with hardly more than what they need to tow the career line. Personally, I studied math and computer science, some of the cleverest people I know were pure math majors. Needless to say, most of which ended up on a different career path. On the other hand I known doctors and executives who, to put it nicely, lack a little spice when it comes to critical thinking. Career accolades have much more to do with a person's capacity to persevere and their priorities in life than with their intelligence.

That said I totally agree with your contention that careers need to be more accommodating of human behavior. The cynic in me has little hope anything of this nature will come from capitalist entities or governments. That said the optimist knows these societal constructs are composed of human beings, and are therefore capable of learning and improving.
There is an element of randomness for sure. A post or thread will become popular based on the timing and the first interactions and comments. Maybe your timing was off.

Also that is why I try my best to always comment in positive notes whenever I am the first person there. Even though it is easy to sound smart when you are being cynical but trying to see the positive sides may hep an OP feel good for the day :)

It's horrible.

For example, it treats Linq's .First() as nullable. (.First() throws an exception, .FirstOrDefault() returns null.)

Type.Name is also treated as nullable.

I didn't encounter any issues like that when I tried Swift and Rust.
I don't know if this is an English-only thing or not, but the emphasis on a particular word in a sentence can convey some extra info.

Ex: He's not lying.

1. He's not lying. (Someone else is lying)

2. He's not lying. (Same as original but more forceful)

3. He's not lying. (Depending on context, could mean "He's not technically lying, but perhaps I'll agree he's stretching the truth a little.", or it could mean "OMG c'mon this is Jim we're talking about, he's not LYING...are you crazy? He always tells the truth."

I wonder how many court transcript readings have totally screwed someone over because of something like this. Add sarcasm to the mix to take it up a notch.

> Norton Crypto is included as part of Norton 360 subscriptions. However, there are coin mining fees as well as transaction costs to transfer Ethereum.
The coin mining fee is currently 15% of the crypto allocated to the miner.

So I have to pay money to subscribe to mine Norton Crypto and then pay a mining fee on top of that? That's amazing. Are they going to partner with QuickBooks so that I can subscribe to that as well and for a low 15% transaction fee they'll handling filing the taxes for me?
Hardware with x86 compatibility is only relevant if for some reason you are stuck with x86-only software somewhere in your stack. Or you have specialized hardware that you can't run on another platform for some reason. But I'd argue most new applications aren't dependant on x86: most modern and relevant programming language have production-grade compilers and runtime environments for ARM and increasingly also for RISC-V.

You need to scale the DRAM channels with the number of cores; you can't just pack more and more cores into one die without adding DRAM width. Yes, you then run into physical limitations, and that's kind of the point I'm trying to make here :)
My mother-in-law recently retired as a public school teacher. She recently stated that it's her opinion that the quality of teaching has gone to the toilet over the decades. Her explanation is simple: smart women don't go into teaching anymore because they have vastly better options than having to chose between nursing vs teaching. Something to consider since labor can only be as good as the pool of candidates allows.
I like the starting focus on identity. Imagine if emails to you were authenticated by a token that you authorized by logging in, and could revoke at any time. In a Web2 world, features like this get created by Google, Apple or whomever inventing a permissions system that works on their platform -- and serves their product goals. In a Web3 world where you issue identity tokens, you can revoke them arbitrarily, so if your identity is shared you can trace and revoke at the root. Services move from worrying about how to game Apple's privacy model to how to avoid a ban that remains strictly in your control.
Ever since the "you need to lock out tag out a circuit to change a cosmetic cover plate in your own home and you're just asking to be killed if you don't wear arc flash gear while doing it" crowd grew up and became PMs capable of "adding value" to design decisions that didn't really need any thought given to them in the first place.

This kind of crap is just a reflection of the affects of modern culture that prizes risk aversion after you filter it though a massive corporate bureaucracy (like Mercedes)

The value of a human life does not lie in their intelligence. A proper eugenics program would weed out the sociopaths.
The CPU costs a fraction of the equivalent Xeon, but the CPU is not the only part in a server BoM nor is the most expensive subsystem of the box. When you add a terabyte of RAM, extra networking, and a bunch of SAS SSD's and HDD's, the CPU cost is almost negligible.

Most companies that buy x86 servers have no desire to recompile their software for a new architecture - they want to run PowerBI or SharePoint. They don't really benefit from a machine like this.
Even from a pro-crypto standpoint this offering is somewhat problematic:

> Once earned, they can track their earnings in their Norton Crypto Wallet, which is stored in the cloud so it cannot be lost due to hard drive failure.

From https://community.norton.com/en/blogs/product-service-announ...

So your "earnings", meager as they likely will be, aren't even properly given to you.

Not to mention it seems unlikely that a consumer-grade machine is going to earn enough from its share of mining to cover the energy costs. At this point you have to have some kind of extra-cheap energy source to be able to compete in mining. Although some people (e.g. me) have a flat-rate electricity bill with their apartment, so maybe some could take some advantage.

> Instead create a GPU texture that’s backed by a fixed buffer in main memory. Decode into that buffer, unlock it, and draw using the texture. The GPU will do direct memory access over PCIe, avoiding the copy.

With a dedicated GPU with its own memory there still is usually a memory to memory copy, it just doesn’t have to involve the CPU.

My big question with using a Web3 login is what advantages it gives the website owner.

With social Web 2.0 login, I can be fairly sure the person logging in has a valid email address, a name, etc, and it is a single click for the user vs filling in all the info all over again.

With a Web3 login, it is basically the same. Except I'm not really given any personal info like name or email, so I need ask them for that anyway. I guess you can tie that into your wallet somehow?

But I don't see this as a 10x solution. Do people really not trust FB/Google/Twitter that much? Why does currency and money need to get involved?

But in another world, isn't this the problem Keybase was trying to solve? Of course, they got mixed up in their own cryptocurrency as well (XLM) which had so many issues with bots trying to get into the airdrop. So idk.
User interfaces should be designed for the users you will have in the long run. In industry and commerce these will be expert users.

I spent a large chunk of my life writing software to design transformers. The UIs broke all of the naive 'rules' about UI design and were crammed full of information, buttons, boxes, entry fields, pull down lists, etc.

For the users they were designed for they were very productive. For a casual or first time user they were impossible to use. But we had no casual users, only experts who were in a hurry and would not tolerate having to wade through multiple screens to perform some small what-if exercise. It was like an airliner cockpit, everything as close to hand as possible and only the rarely used items on other pages.

A frequent request was to enlarge the window so that more could be fitted in at once, it was much rarer to be asked to move something off the main window.
It also means a mis-configured client that doesn't close the connection can hang the server.

Ask HN: State Actor Botnet for Parallel Computing?
I'm reading Keith Devlin's Mathematics: The New Golden Age[0] which although a little out of date, is a really nice layman's tour of advances in mathematics from the 1960s up through the 90s.

As you can imagine, there's a lot of talk of using supercomputers and distributed networks to perform difficult calculations, e.g. Mersenne prime search, or large number factorization. That got me wondering about how the computing power of the most powerful known supercomputers compares to the theoretical computing power of the largest know or theoretical botnets.

Would it make sense for a state actor like the NSA to use a stealth botnet with 10s or 100s of millions of devices to perform massively parallel calculations as an extension of, or in lieu of, whatever centralized supercomputer they use? How would you (or can you) calculate the power of a botnet of arbitrary size? I'm assuming you'd need to make a lot of assumptions about minimum processor size, etc...

The batteries used in most EV’s should always work to some degree, with regards to temperatures experienced on Earth - the batteries & other systems in most ICE can be completely crippled/not work at all under certain temps faced on Earth

> For example, something that most industry folks would think will take 20-30 years (or is feasibly impossible ie. reusable rockets), Elon gives a 5 year timeline and his team actually gets it done in 10 -- still less time than anyone thought possible.

No one realistically thought reusable rockets were impossible or even infeasible. Reusable rockets trade lift capacity for reusability. A single-use Falcon 9 lifts more than a reusable one because it can use all the fuel in the first stage for lift saving nothing for landing. Keep in mind the Space Shuttle (a reusable rocket) had been flying for thirty years before Space X landed a Falcon 9.

Space X has done cool things but they are iterative developments. Tesla didn't invent electric cars or do something impossible, they iterated on existing technologies. They, like Space X, have happily and readily accepted every government subsidy dollar they're remotely qualified to receive. All while Musk is bitching about paying taxes.
