Sigh... while talented, she is constantly pushing the boundaries of taste and the YouTube TOS to gain subscribers.

She pretends to be some women's rights activist when she's really just a purveyor of some weird type of titillation. Yes the algorithm is capricious, yes its arbitrary, and yes YouTube is evil. But she's clearly making a bust of herself naked. I'm sure if I put my balls on YouTube they'd be more than demonetized.

I have no problem with her personally, I also don't find her interesting at all... but it is what it is. YouTube probably needs to classify videos more finely grained so that we can distinguish between types of videos and match tolerances for blue content to advertisers.

"Written material, being necessary for an educated populace, the right of the people to keep and own books shall not be infringed"

Question: who has the right to own books under such a law? The 'written material'? The 'educated populace'? Or the 'people'?

The game itself prevents you from guessing words that aren't in the 12972-word list. It doesn't count as a guess, and doesn't go through. So if you want to try anything with a larger list, you're playing something Wordle-like, not actual Wordle.

But I agree that using the 2315-word list is basically cheating. On the other hand, are words in that list more common English words than words in the 12972-word list? If so, then humans in a sense intuitively take advantage of the 2315-word list by guessing more common English words rather than infrequent English words. So since humans sort of use the 2315-word list intuitively, it sort of makes sense for a computer to use it as well.

I haven’t though I just started doing some pico8 development. It would seem almost ideal for those kind of games.

It seems like you can. Pico8 does have a raspberry pi (ARM cpu version) Through retro-arch? I’m not sure how it all goes together.

Practice mock interviews. Solving a leetcode problem in a computer is a little different that doing in an interview. In the interview, you will feel nervous, anxious, and you will need to explain your thought process while you solve the problem. Also for Amazon, you also need to prepare for the behavioral interview questions. Read their leadership principles and prepare answers for the most important ones.
Those series of events could potentially happen, but I just don't think it's the case with so many disparate countries at play. I don't really want to get into an extended debate about this, but I appreciate your detailed response and civility here nonetheless.
XMPP is extensible huh? Extend it to not torture implementation developers with xml.

You can't.

That's the law of software. Good components tend to be easily replaceable, bad components do not. Thus overtime as software evolves it ends up made of mostly or only bad components.
If the distinction is vaccinated people vs people with natural immunity, I don't think that's a scientifically sound distinction. Do you mean people who recovered 20 months ago from a long gone variant? Or people who recovered with no symptoms last week from Omicron? Do we know what it means if a person has antibodies from a recovery a year ago, given the advent of brand new strains that have spread like wildfire and are only just now being studied in depth?

What we do know, thanks to a mountain of unambiguous data, is that people who have had vaccine shots go to the hospital way, way, way less often than those who have not. Which means vaccines prevent other people from suffering bad health outcomes due to lack of healthcare resources. It is a win for everyone.

Second oldest topic: complaining about work
I don’t know if these scenarios are so backwards. As the article hints to it can be hard to distinguish code of high quality from what I’ll call code of ‘high effort [but low quality]’, especially for management.

As someone else pointed out: People have trouble seeing negative space.
Keep in mind there are 2 axes.

In the time domain, you're absolutely right, Nyquist–Shannon proves that we don't benefit from sampling higher than twice the upper bound of human hearing. Rates like 96kHz or 192kHz are useless for quality (although in specific live situations, they have utility in that the latency would be half or quarter that of typical rates, for a given buffer size in samples).

In the amplitude domain, CD quality (16 bits/sample) is pretty damn great for typical mastered audio (~96dB undithered, ~120dB dithered) but if the audio is unusually dynamic (i.e., loudness is not maximized) like with a symphony orchestra, you might actually turn up your sound system to the point where quantization noise becomes evident in the quietest parts, at which point you absolutely would benefit from more bits per sample (say, 24, yielding ~144dB of range undithered).

So in practice, you're right, CDs are fine; but "humans can't detect beyond that" only truly applies in the frequency domain. We can detect latency (not applicable to playback of recordings) and we can detect quantization noise when cranking up the volume knob.
Since this is HN... compiling.
It was a "fringe view" in early 2020 when those of us wore masks despite Fauci and the rest of the pointy heads in DC saying that masks weren't needed, and were possibly harmful. It was a "fringe view" when those of us said we shouldn't invade Iraq, because their was no credible evidence of WMD. It was a "fringe view" (and still is, unfortunately among many) when some of us said that there was no credible evidence of a "Russian attack" on our election in 2016. It was a "fringe view" when some of us insisted that the government was illegally spying on us before Snowden's revelations.

According to modern standards of social media censorship, all of these "fringe views" would very likely lead to getting banned and/or silenced for "misinformation". The fact is that the accuracy of a belief has absolutely no relationship to how widespread that belief is. This is especially true when the government, big tech and their legacy media outlets work together to engineer a consensus view (or the appearance of a consensus view) that hews to their preferred narrative rather than reality.
I took an operating systems course at Purdue in which we built the Xinu OS from (almost) scratch [1]. Almost all of us had no real experience with a _big_ project like this before, and the most important thing thing that I learned was how to be comfortable with a large system of different moving parts that all need to interop together. I learned a lot about how processes work, C memory management, and shells, but I don't ever use that in my day to day. It is fun to know kind of what is going on way behind the scenes when I'm using my computer, but knowing the low level datastructures really hasn't been practical for me while the big picture of the project impacted me greatly.

That sounds like a nightmare, but I would not consider micro-services to be "best practice". It's a design decision.

OSTEP by Remzi and Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau is a great read for anybody interested in operating systems (https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/). The projects in their class at the University of Wisconsin-Madison were mainly making edits to the xv6 OS.
I have a TRS-80 from 1984 and it still works fine, that's pushing 40 years and I have zero doubt I'll still be able to use it in another ~10.
One thing I'm not clear about: in the version that knows the 2315-word list, is it allowed to only guess words from the 2315, or can it also guess words outside of it, but in the 12972-word list?

It seems to me like with more flexibility in what words to guess, it might be able to eliminate words faster and build a more-optimal tree.
Not entirely sure what specific claim you’re looking for a source for
I think one thing that creates that impression is the costs for beefier options in the Apple store. Everytime I configure a Mac and add RAM I feel ripped off. The price difference between the upgraded Mac and what you'd pay on Newegg is just so large. I'm still a happy customer, since I still get so much lasting value, but in the moment it certainly hurts.
M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max are all distinct dies, with M1 Max being quite a bit larger, with a larger cache, and more I/O compared to its M1 Pro sibling. The 24-core M1 Max, however, is a binned die of the 32-core M1 Max. There are lower core bins of M1 Pro that are only available on the cheaper 14-inch MacBook Pro. M1 is also available in two forms, one with a 7-core and the other with 8-core GPU.
This used to work for me when I was younger so take it with a grain of salt. Try watching motivational videos from Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Les Brown or read self-help books like Think and Growth Rich or The Greatest Saleman in the World. They can motivate you long enough to start things but their effect diminishes with time.
I noticed my inner voice reading your (and the previous period-lacking comments upthread) in just this way. It makes me slightly uneasy (which is interesting, because while I notice when friends does this in SMS/chat, I don't get that feeling - I even occasionally do it myself).
> For most typewriters, restoration is only a matter of taking the time to do it. There’s no complex skills or tools involved. Even the most difficult operations could be learned alone, by simple trial and error.

What. Let's say an internal piece failed because of mechanical stress caused by lack of lubrication or a jammed foreign object. How do you figure out "by simple trial and error" which piece failed, why it failed, what the original piece was supposed to look like, and finally repair it, without expert knowledge and precision tools? At a wild guess I'd expect it'd take me a few years to do this reliably, using consumer-grade tools, from stock materials which are not already the exact right size in any dimension.

> By contrast, we have to change our laptops every three or four years. Our phones every couple of years. And all other pieces of equipment (charger,router, modem,printers,…) need to be changed regularly.

This is conflating "have to" in the sense that it's hard to get useful work done because software no longer runs optimally (or at all) on older hardware, and "have to" in the sense that it's literally broken. I don't "have to" change my laptop any more than someone in the 1950s "had to" change their typewriter for the latest model every few years.

As a side note, a quick search through the article revealed no mention of why you'd want to do this. For fun, sure, but something like this is going to need a business case and lots of cash to be done properly.
I don't remember saying that it wasn't. Another part of a free market involves stating your preferences...which I just did.

>Neil Young had very little to lose by making this political statement to help the media, which I'm guessing he prob got some money from the attention of pro-vax people that wanted to try to censor Rogan and thought by supporting Young that they were going to be able to have any pull.

This was hilarious, thanks for the laugh! :)
You only need the parens when the arity can vary. It doesn't have to be binary. Red and REBOL are prefix languages like Lisp, but without the parentheses, and their calls can have more than 2 arguments. You do have to know the arity of each function to make a parse tree, so the arity of any given function is fixed.

"She pretends to be some women's rights activist"

I'm a mainland Chinese citizen with a high profile on Western Social Media, I can assure you I work very hard to make sure no one confuses me as a women's rights activist. Particularly not these days.

"Yes the algorithm is capricious,"

Not the algorithm- all human moderation.

"she's really just a purveyor of some weird type of titillation"

Why not just have an Only Fans, weekly photo video sets, and a decent copywriter and make 10x as much money? Why go through all this work?

"she's clearly making a bust of herself naked."

It's a dressmakers dummy, for sewing. It's a tool, it's not even decorative. It's of me because the clothes are for me. You can't make it with clothes on it or it won't work, I decimated the mesh instead.

Are you saying that is fine for the healthcare system to come crashing down because we’ve ‘been there before?

> as well as the health of the people around you

'the science' says you are wrong. the vaccines do not prevent spread. that is very very very clear in the data now, so stop spreading that nonsense

that assumption relied on at least 3 things being true:
#1 ) having lower symptoms from the vaccine would not encourage those shedding the virus but not being observably sick to go out and spread the disease (*hint this is probably a pretty bad assumption)
#2 ) the vaccine would reduce viral load
#3 ) a reduction of viral load would prevent you from spreading it to others

It turns out the vaccine does not lower viral load. and even though this has been shown to be medically true, you can see that in places like Isreal and Germany where the virus spreads pretty easily. hell, even in the US, you dont get nearly 1m cases a day without vaccinated people spreading it.
I think you're hitting a strawman here.

Are any number of vaccine shots "good enough"? Or, should we be getting one every month to get as much protection as possible?

There's a line to be drawn somewhere, and I think what's argued here is that natural immunity should count for something, instead of being lumped into the same group as those "unvaccinated and no prior infection".
This seems like one of those situations where there's no silver bullet, no quick fix, just the long hard slog of rebuilding bit by bit.

>Young thinking he has any leverage to silence Rogan here is laughable. I suspect he's either senile, extremely narcissistic, or both.

hmmm thinkpad?
I guess I'm eligible to answer this as I'm both a Linux user and a stick shifter.

I hate Linux for when things fall-apart. But I also know most of the things are being made by devs because of their passion. My hardware doesn't fail because Linux is blindly arrogant, but because of the hardware vendors who don't support the platform or me (as I paid them money)

Manual transmissions are an extra level of engagement that's fun to drive and useful in many casses. My 86bhp car lacks torque and power, specially combined with its heavy metal body. When I need to overtake and I lack the power for it I can downshift and pass. Add in the rev matching, and it makes it sweeter and perfect.

In a country like India, you pay a good price for a reliable automatic. So that's money saved.

It's the same difference as a home cooked meal and a takeout.

Apple doesn't get slack from me because they know the hardware, the software and still manage to mess it up with loyal fans defending their bad decisions
Thanks for replying. It's disturbing to hear that you're being harassed like that on top of it. Since my comment was kinda terse and focused on one specific point, I just want to say that I don't agree with the demonetization. I've watched and learned from several of your videos before and I really appreciate the content you make. As someone who worked at Google in the past and worked with others who were trying to get the company to address issues, I'm constantly frustrated by YouTube's decision to allow people with multiple strikes of obvious bullying and hate speech on their platform and then turn around and do something like this.
oh i loved that site. The forum was one of my favourite parts of the old internet. Still remember a lot of the popular phrases that used to go around.
What about the load times? I remember waiting what felt like hours, hoping that the game I wanted to play was going to load successfully from tape, watching those flashing lines like a hawk - and frequently being disappointed!
I don't listen to JRE but does Spotify also inject ads on his podcasts? I listened to some other Spotify exclusives and to my surprise (for a paid subscription service), they had injected audio ads.

Well in this case he's signalling support for censorship, so you can't really call that virtuous.

I guess they all conveniently have something to sell(?) but they also have interesting things to say.

Put another way, he's a person you disagree with on many issues. So should we cancel him now? I guess the principle of free speech is only important when your ideas are repressed.
Thank you, I really appreciate that. And I also know my own role in all this and that my inability to explain myself better isn't helping. I wasn't trying to rally the troops or anything, it was more my own frustration with companies that feign progressive values or go all out during Pride and what their actual conduct is like.
Ah yeah, maybe GPU only. Don't the MacBooks with the onboard discrete GPU have an integrated Intel GPU as well? I'd assume those ones physically power off the big daddy card when it's not needed.
> I would like to live in a society with a healthy disdain for purveyors of lies and misinformation.

You say that like it's opposite what I said.

My position is that I don't think censorship and banning of ideas and people is a healthy way to develop that disdain in society.

> If you want to stand up against Orwellian police state BS look at the county in Tennessee that just banned the graphic novel Mause or the states passing laws banning teaching anything that might make white people feel guilty as a response to the BS moral panic that was whipped up around critical race theory.

There's lots of things to "stand up against". Corporate censorship and other kinds of proxy attacks on anybody who questions certain narratives pushed by the ruling class is a big one even if you sometimes agree with the establishment. They don't have your interests at heart even if they coincidentally appear to align from time to time. One day it is be about vaccines, but another day it will be war with Iraq or intervention in Libya or conflict with China over Taiwan.

You still need the enforcement regime. Restaurants/bars/etc must have someone at the door scanning everyone's QR code (and cross checking it against a photo ID). Law enforcement must run stings against restaurants to ensure they're checking properly.
