The information for my limited company earnings is also available online as part of the company accounts and you can probably work out my day rate from it.

Not sure I care that much. Also, I don't think someone who thinks they deserve a big bump and has passed the interview I wouldn't necessarily say it's the most immoral crime to suggest your previous salary was higher than it really was. Surely you have a job that is paying X and the person can either do the job well or not.

Why should I be worried about others knowing what I earn?

Personally I've noticed how dropbox has gone from being a tool that fits well into a larger context, to instead trying to encompass the entire experience of touching synced files. For example, the number of clicks (and the precision of those clicks and the distractions around them) to open the dropbox folder in your OS's file explorer has gradually increased. And the amount of attention dropbox asks for, things like notifications and upsells, has also gradually increased.

The post aludes to this notion of not trusting dropbox to just do the one thing well, and instead expecting them to grab more and more (because they are financially driven to do so), which resonated very hard. It's so common for a good piece of software to get worse and worse, bit by bit, as the marketing and business downsides consume the technical upsides.
It's an open source library for generating convincing looking mock data for demos so you have a bunch of mixed, convincing names and not just John Doe1, Jane Doe2, test@example.com

It handles about 60 types of data.

It was previously a source of controversy in the open source funding debate when Marak posted a fuck you, pay me where he refused to make any more updates until some of the corporate users started sponsoring the project, which Godaddy eventually did.

Imagine, in the age of chivalry, a lord who arrives at every battle with his forces - but who delays his arrival until the battle is already won, and always joins the winning side.

You might well say arriving late is better than not arriving at all. Perhaps there are some last pockets of resistance, you wouldn't turn down his help sweeping those up.

Alternately, you might say they are cowardly, insincere opportunists. They ended up on on the right side, but the timing calls their sincerity into doubt.

Much ado about nothing, IMHO.

AVX-512 isn't advertised by Intel as a 12th gen desktop CPU feature and doesn't provide any advantages for most desktop users anyway.

Sure, there's niche applications like some particular PS3 emulator, but I don't share the author's opinion w.r.t. to performance and efficiency in desktop use.
Reminds me of the old Saturday morning cartoons. Good luck figuring out what your kids are watching these days.
That's something I really miss. Having studied and worked in a developing country, I learned too late about these giants and it took me years to grasp the philosophy behind their great works and literally _unlearn_ and _relearn_ things. It is IMO a privilege to be exposed to great minds early in your education and carreer.
I thought it's because the US demanded unconditional surrender and the Japanese thought their emperor would be deposed so they refused. Two bombs later the Japanese agreed to an unconditional surrender. And guess what, they got to keep their emperor...
I'll be honest, this looks to be a simple mistake. Cutting AVX-512 literally (meaning in hardware) requires actual staff doing that cut plus it'll increase turnaround times, plus the efficiency cores don't have it. Unlike "let's bin perfectly functional processors into a lower-cored product", this is economically not logical for Intel, which often is the closest from the truth.
It's the law.

This was an excellent read. Thank you for sharing the articles.
Considering the article is trying to make the KZ government look bad, I'd say the part that appears less biased is relevant.

The whole point of HN is to comment on the article. BBC is obviously UK government propaganda, so the fact their headline is clickbait and the little data they do include doesn't support it is relevant.
Nvidia do the same with disabling passthrough on consumer GPUs (gotta upsell Quatro).

However I would say avoiding Intel completely is unnecessary. They're a good FOSS citizen when it boils to things like WLAN and GPU.

I'm very wary of any pirated software these days. A lot of crackers and keygens I obtained long ago turned out to contain viruses. I wouldn't say the majority of the demoscene is like that and maybe even the viruses came from people remaking torrents with modified files then seed-boosted them to the top of the search. A few bad apples spoil the bunch.
When I was 3 years old my older brother tried to kill me and very nearly succeeded. As best anyone can recon, I was no breath no pulse for about 10 minutes. My life was saved by an EMT doing CPR. These people are incredible, and deserve every bit of praise and validation we can give them.
Most of the places I've worked at have had a their own theme for what your desktop background should be set at. One place it was Justin Bieber. Another it was a footballer. It was never anything offensive but still generated a laugh whenever anyone came back and realised they'd been "beibered".
I’m not surprised. A lot of people were burned last year when their entire CPU downclocked as soon as one application started using AVX-512. That killed all interest even before Alder Lake.

Also see Linus’s rants in this thread: https://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?threadid=193189&curpost...

Today only benchmarks and HPC workloads use AVX-512. I’m sure Intel is happy to force HPC customers to pony up for data center CPUs.
Been battling with this mindset shift myself. When I get annoyed with myself for delaying a task I try to remember the concept of "last responsible moment" from the Agile methodology books; after all I've never missed an important deadline so far, so clearly my effort-estimate calibration isn't far off.

American movies are the only ones I can think of that tell GLOBAL stories from a purely American-only perspective. Local American stories are of course great! I love movies made by Americans who tell me American stories.
Apart from that they all suffer from some degree of America as the savior syndrome, or as I like to call it “World Series” syndrome. Only a country like America could call “World” something that is purely American.
So no, sorry, it’s not just a matter of perspective.
Still not very convincing. I'd expect to find an article in Aftonbladet or similar.

Strangely the article in Läkartidningen doesn't say when this incident occurred (just the middle of December).

I'm not saying it didn't happen, just that everything written about it reads like promotional material rather than journalism.
I burst into laughter reading this, probably because it happened to me.
Thank you! You're right, a landing page is definitely something that I should spend some time on. Essentially the idea is that the host's screen is projected onto a big screen, and players look back at it to see the leaderboard.

It's the same for almost everything associated with the country, what you see from the outside has very little to do with the actual thing. The country has been very good at developing the "swiss brand", generally speaking.

In practice the swiss army is a giant live action role-play, where young males go to be paid for playing with firearms and be drunk together.

Note that you can be very professional while larping, it's not contradictory.
> we were in discussions with a defibrillator company. They tried to argue that the defibrillator was not critical to the patient's life, and thus not subject to the relevant regulation, because the patient was already dead

I'm amazed that they would take this line. In many cases, a person's heart is still very active when it is shocked by the external defibrillator, and the person is still breathing. In some types of VF (see my comment elsewhere [0]), the problem is that the normal synchronised contraction of the cardiac muscle fibres has broken down, and the heart is thus quivering spasmodically, not cleanly pumping. To break this cycle, the defibrillator emits a massive shock that causes the muscle fibres to simultaneously go into their 'reset' phase, and the hope is that the heart's natural pace maker (the sino-atrial node) can then take back control. It's like the defibrillator is shouting "will you all shut the fuck up!" into a crowded auditorium full of people talking over each other rather than listening to a presenter. The defibrillator can't magically restart an insert dead body.

Depending on the OS, microcode updates are under full user control.

You can apply them or don't at your own discretion.

The problem is knowing which particular update includes the change.
Okay. That doesn't change the fact that some of us do see it and use it as more than just gambling - and if we're doing so in a way without negative externalities (e.g. via proof-of-stake or literally anything other than proof-of-work), then it seems entirely irrational to want to ban it on the sole basis of "I don't like it therefore nobody should use it".
In the UK, HMRC (gov agency that is responsible for collecting tax) has a concept of Payment on Account [1]. You make 2 payments each year (Jan and Jul). The payments are based on last years actual tax liability, so the assumption is you're earning broadly the same as the year pervious. The 2 payments made are then subtracted from your actual liability for the year once calculated.

Perhaps implementing something like the above, just for yourself, would keep you broadly on track to cover your annual tax liability?

Centralized vs distributed represents a non-trivial set of technological challenges and differences. Those challenges tended to be poorly understood by anyone who hadn't given the problem of designing a search engine much thought in the past. I don't know if that has improved since I was part of the search engine industry. It probably has in the sense that the absolute number of people who have sufficient understanding of large scale search engines has grown by orders of magnitude in the last 25 years.

The challenge is competition. Or rather, the lack thereof. I worked for Google when the last credible challenger threw in the towel and search got pushed closer to being a monopoly / monoculture. At the time Microsoft hadn't gotten their act together. Even as an enthusiastic imbiber of the Google cool-aid, this was deeply worrying.

Google distinguished itself because it had to in order to compete. Making suck noticably less and being in tune with the users used to be enough. Because the competition sucked at this. Google no longer has to do that. Jeff Dean doesn't lie awake at night worrying about web search competitors. There was a time when he probably did (if I remember various accounts correctly). I doubt he loses any sleep over it now.

Lots of people have tried to do distributed search. Lots and lots. The reason you don't hear about them is that they tend to not produce convincing results. Or in fact any results. In search quality, privacy, fairness. It is much, much harder than you might be tempted to think. And it exists within a field that gets harder every single year since the problem size and complexity keeps growing as the web grows; and grows more complex.

If you believe in distributed search I think you should give it a go. Just because everyone has failed before you doesn't necessarily mean it is impossible to do. But it is worth remembering that it is a class of problem that is a lot harder than centralized search. So saying it is the solution is like saying cold fusion is the solution to all our energy needs: it might have been if we knew how to achieve it. But we don't.

You can also talk more publicly about any topic pretty much - being "cancelled" in the US is laughable compared to the Chinese version of cancelled (i.e. deleted from the Internet, publicly humiliated and/or possibly disappeared for weeks on end for even a mild suggestion that the financial system is not optimal in China, something reasonably up for discussion).
The main problem with GDPR is that it is hard to enforce because the enforcing authorities are overworked, focusing on the wrong things, and bogging themselves down in their own bureaucracy.

> I think the limitation in the US is not the water, but the public preference

Exactly correct. Most of us grow up eating cheap, crappy bread and simply continue the habit. There is plenty of really good bread out there but most people are content with the mass produced supermarket fluff.

A lot of the "European mystification" about US eating habits boil down to the fact that we have a lot of really cheap food available. Given a choice, most people choose cheap over good for daily usage.
If you're going to post a YouTube video, IMHO the ONLY one to post is the famous BBC one with Chris Solomon.[1]

TL;DR the BBC were in the right place at the right time. They were filming a documentary at a UK Air Ambulance office when the call taker had a cardiac arrest right there infront of them. They filmed the whole thing from start to finish and the guy gave his consent for them to release the video to the public.

(The above video does say "edited" I don't know what they've edited out, so you might need to searching the web for the full version).
There was nothing comparable to a modern multiroom smart speaker around in 2001, so they certainly were invented in the last 20 years. Whether that was by Sonos or by someone else, and whether these specific patents should have been granted is another question of course.
Fun fact: the "WWII veterans" group includes German veterans. They got into war many of them asked for.

The good side in WWII includes Stalin and his regime. I do think that Hitler was bigger treat to everyone (including Easter Europeans themselves) and the alliance was needed. However, that does not mean Stalin represents "good guy".

The anitisemitism was not limited to Germans. Plenty of non-Germans people cooperated with it for own benefit or out of own anti-semitism. That includes people who were victims themselves - but still disliked Jews.

Also, closer to America, in movies American army simply can not possibly commit blunder, make really bad decisions (whether practically or morally). Real WWII featured a lot of those.

Also, speaking about movies, in American war movies war essentially feel good and heroic. The good and heroes wins. civilians basically dont exist and literally never are a real character with personality, motivations or agency (as limited as it is). The damage dont to them, the moral choices they have to do or their reaction to it dont exist.
> I'm not sure if benchmarks that are out have the AVX-512 enabled or not.

No, because half the cores on those don't even have AVX-512 in the first place. (to enable AVX-512, you have to disable all the eCores)

As such, running those systems with AVX-512 turned on was academic, but not practically used.
The solution is obviously to use a tiling WM with all default keybindings changed, and a keyboard with blank keycaps and obscure non-QWERTY layout.

Get a new job.

I had a similar thing with my first job, (though it wasn't fun), just an undocumented, unintuitive system, plus pretty introverted team, so not very good at helping. I was unproductive. When I did ask for help it was terse explanations so they could get back to their own work.

Changed jobs to a more extroverted group and got on a lot better.

At the time I had thought it was all my own fault, but looking back on it, it was very poor management.
So that's how it feels when people say they can't exit vim.
For some reason aesthetically I prefer the coal-covered limestone buildings. They are just pleasing to look at. So in a way I find it strangely disappointing that they get pressure washed.
Yes, but once it has shipped and people may have come to depend on it it will break stuff, not fix stuff.

Besides the obvious benefit of first having benchmarks out there claiming these chips are better than they really are. So this change just benefits Intel, and nobody else. If it would be a fix then it would be that something that was advertised did not work, and now it does.
You can only upgrade microcode on any given boot, not downgrade it. Therefore, if the BIOS has already upgraded your microcode for you on boot, you can't undo that from the OS.
Absolutely right. But the OP pushed complained about a strong OOP influence and to that I reacted :)
"In actual fact <opinion>"

Is the USA a liberal democracy? Authoritarian tools (like packing the courts) seem to work there. Successive UK governments have tightened control over the BBC. Assange stews in a high-security prison, untried, for reporting the truth. Craig Murray has just completed his prison sentence for reporting the truth. Neither of those jailings has received significant coverage in the mainstream UK press.
