I don't really like this quote. Lots of smart people often explain that they ask "stupid" questions and that it's important to get over your shame of being stupid. Questions change you from having a passive role to an active role in understanding. Maybe making the difference between "questions" and "commentary" would be a useful start?
>You're being aggressive. Please stop.

If my comment is what you consider to be overly aggressive maybe you need to get out more.

All research is BS therefore opinion is king is one of the weakest arguments I have ever heard.

BTW your not so subtle digs are uncalled for.
Boycotting Israel hasn't put much pressure because many agree with their actions and therefore won't participate. No one agrees with Russia's actions.

I’m surprised they’ve introduced four M1 variants already, and while that makes a fifth variant seem more likely… I still think they’ll want to find another way to differentiate the new Mac Pro. What seems more likely to me: the M2 MBA is released either in tandem with a M2 Ultra MP, or a few months ahead of it, and the other higher spec models will lag 6-12 months behind from then on. Especially given the significant delays on M1 Max, it makes sense to me they’ll want to roll out the next gen in a lower volume/higher margin while they ramp up production.

> That said, the idea that USB C/Thunderbolt is the new PCIe bus has some merit. I have yet to find someone who makes a peripheral card cage that is fed by USBC/TB but there are of course standalone GPUs.

I hope we get closer to that long-standing dream over the next few years.

But right now you can see laptop manufacturers so desperate to avoid thunderbolt bottlenecks that they make their own custom PCIe ports.

For the longest time, thunderbolt ports were artificially limited to less than 3 lanes of PCIe 3.0 bandwidth, and even now the max is 4 lanes.
I’ve been tempted to buy the XDR, would love to hear your opinions. Rocking a couple of LG UF 27” 5k’s today.
I have a similar theory. That, in social media, we touch a different part of a person, than, say, irl.

I think that when we read, or we're on the computer, we are in a kind of trance. Our unconscious self is exposed.

It expresses itself, we all harbor a lot of dark feelings. And we are reactive. It's not a rational self. It's a self that gropes for the good stuff and kicks against the bad stuff and that's about it. Like an animal.

It is also exposed and vulnerable. So when the flame hits we feel it deeply.

I imagine us all to be like that demon in The Exorcist. A raging ego trapped in a world of words. Playing mind games. And when we are told that it's holy water, it burns just fine.
"article 42.7 of the Lisbon treaty obligates other EU members to assist in case of military attack."

It's a sentence in a document.

The legitimacy of these 'mutual defence treaties' is a function of legitimacy on the ground, history, disproportionate power etc..

Wait to see what happens if Georgia joins the EU, then the leader does something dumb, Putin II invades ... will Europea attack? Can they? What will they do? Can they agree on a response? How to coordinate?

EU is a political body with some other aspirations, but the 'Hard Power' is NATO.

Not sure if it matters at this point if Sweden is a member, because I believe that Russia invading Sweden or Finland would be the same thing as invading NATO.

> Your notion is that you should be entitled not even to hear about the problems of others

Everyone believes this. There are too many people in the world to hear about all the problems. The problem with twitter is not that you hear about peoples problems, it's that you hear about too many to grok. The most political people I know are still periodically taking breaks from twitter because it's too much.

Short review of the AlphaCode Feb 2022 paper from DeepMind
> The developer has no incentive to under-build parking - nobody would rent in the building if there wasn't enough parking available.

The very existence of slums/slumlords suggests that selling substandard housing to desperate people suggests both that there are people willing to accept substandard housing and that it is profitable. If it can work with rat and mold infestations, etc, it can work with an uncomfortably small amount of parking.

I have no idea what the right amount is, but I certainly don't believe your reasoning provides more information.
Not really. That's exactly when I had in mind when I said "vast majority of people". The biggest problem is access to a cooking fire and some sort of refrigeration you can rely on for most of the year.

It does require spending a little time cooking and probably to shop around rather than getting everything from a (possibly overpriced) supermarket depending on how much you can spend. So it's strictly an inconvenience, it requires stretching the argument really thin to view it otherwise.

> Still don't have even the vaguest beginnings of a clue what the fuck a monad is, after reading 50 articles promising to make it simple, as well as their accompanying 500-comment HN threads.

It'll also have exercises, which are honestly the most important part of understanding.
I usually just run one in AWS when I need one if I'm honest.
Not mentioned in the article, the US is actually a few different oil markets.

For example, the east coast has refineries, but they are geared for oil from the middle east. Why?

One reason is the Jones Act, which prohibits shipping between US ports except by US crewed/flagged vessels. There basically aren't any of those.

So, we ship liquified natural gas from Texas to Europe and Asia, but are not allowed to ship to the east coast or other US ports.

The other reason is that pipeline capacity to the east coast is severely constrained. Many planned pipelines have been cancelled. It takes decades with all the NIMBY laws to build one, but only one president to throw all that work out with a decree.

Pipeline capacity is further constrained due to regulations for boutique fuels. The gas you can use can vary from state to state. If you start a run of said fuel on the pipeline, you can't serve the whole intended market for when the pipeline was designed.

And then there is the whole ethanol thing. It has to get shipped at great expense from the midwest to the coasts where regulations say it must be used.

Yes, but go back to philosophy not math.

All the evidence suggests the "particle" interpretation of QM is simply wrong, that light or energy really is just a self propagating wave, which explains the double slit experiment cleanly, and is not incompatible with energy levels or quantization if formulated correctly.

Experiments that claim to show light consists of particles need to be reassessed wearing a philosopher's hat.
This is not relevant to the Apple M1 Ultra.

I'm disappointed with the ergonomics of it. First, you have to pay extra for height adjustability, and then the height adjustment is via an arm that changes the viewing distance when you adjust the height. Why can't it just be like Dell monitors (and many others) where the screen can be moved up or down on a fixed axis, and it's included in the product?
You’d say if they can drive 3 displays at 60hz they should be able to drive one at 120hz
> Yeah, but realistically wikiversity doesn’t have much to show for it.

Because people don’t really want a public wiki to publish original research, they just want to vandalize Wikipedia because of its social impact and use their claims of personal expertise as an excuse to evade Wikipedia’s existing content policies.
Drilling companies are able to treat the toxic soup that is pumped into the ground as trade secrets, so it’s difficult to publish definitive data.

Fracking leaks methanol, salts and other compounds into ground water. Operations often contaminate water from leaky pits with diesel and other compounds.

Coal is probably the nastiest fuel by any measure. But that isn’t to say that fracking operations are not problematic, and since industry has fought tooth and nail to prevent meaningful, peer reviewed study of the issue, it’s absurd to compare to a well understood, well measured thing like air safety.
As already mentioned, people working from home would benefit from this a lot, and KVM monitors for two machines have been a thing for at least a decade (Dell, Eizo, BenQ amongst others have been offering them so there’s clearly a market). And even if it wasn’t very used, the environmental cost of just one extra monitor would be many many unused ports.

100% this: cloud gaming tech is solid but the business model is still in infancy. By the time Apple caught up in gaming I expect cloud gaming will have taken root.
I have a paid premium subscription with optery. I provided them with minimal informed and have been pleased thus far.

Good customer service. Fairly quick response time.

For years, I've performed monthly searches on my name and naturally submit opt-out requests from whatever data brokers I found.

I signed up for optery using a couple discounts from stack social (or one of those sites).

They found DOZENS of listings under my name. I was surprised+ pissed, but optery has manager to remove most of them. They send a quarterly(?) PDF update containing before and after screenshots of days brokers where my info was once displayed.

I still perform my monthly searches and report any findings to optery. They've been receptive and apologetic whenever I find my info online.

That's my review. Ask questions if you want.
Thanks both, fixed! That’s what I get for coding on my phone

I'm a high school math teacher, and I think statistics education is desperately lacking in graduating seniors. I think the space for it should come from cutting pre-calculus as a yearlong course though, with some of the concepts backfilled to Algebra 2.

There's nothing a basic Stats 1 course needs calc grounding for (perhaps Riemann sums under a normal curve but that's more for deriving than the concept itself). As it stands now, AP Stats is used for kids that don't want to progress to an AP Calc, but want a math or need to hit a school or county requirement.
Since the context here is using these machines for work, a mid-level engineer will easily cost an extra $1000* in his own time to put that together :)

EDIT: I’m quite confident this is not at all an exaggeration. Unless you have put together PCs for a living. $100/h (total employment cost, not just salary), 1-2 hours of actual build & setup, 8 more hours of speccing out parts, buying, taking delivery, installing stuff and messing around with windows/Linux (I’ve probably spent 40 hours+ in the past couple years just fixing stuff in my windows gaming pc. At least 1 of those looking for a cabled keyboard so I could boot it up the first time, ended up having a friend drive over with his :D)
To me, this always felt like programmers excusing abhorrent code with "but it works".

Quantum theory isn't. It's not a single, cohesive, consistent theory.[1] There is no recipe you can apply, it's just a bunch of guessworks and heuristics that happen to produce the numerically correct equations if you keep trying long enough. This isn't secret or some sort of external criticism, you'll find this front-and-centre in the foreword of many a QM text!

Schrödinger famously arrived at his equation basically through numerical methods. He just tried things until it "fit" the desired output.

Now, there's nothing wrong with this, per-se. It's a perfectly viable approach for getting going, for getting something and using it as a starting point. But it isn't the endpoint, because approaches like this often have virtually no explanatory power.

A similar example is collecting insects, categorising them, giving them Latin names, and putting them up for display in a museum. You can learn a lot, amass enormous amounts of information, but without a theory of genetics and natural selection you will always be blind to the underlying truth of it all.

QM is just like bug collecting. We're collecting numerical equations that work, but we have essentially no clear understanding why. We've built a tree of life, and nobody has had the lightbulb moment that explains why it's a tree.

[1] There was a paper published a few years back where a bunch of working quantum physicists were asked some simple multiple-choice questions about the fundamentals of the theory. There was no consensus opinion on anything! PS: You'll get similar results if you ask priests of a random Christian sects about the basics of religion. Conversely, you will get nearly zero disagreement if asking Chemists about the basics of their science.

Mildly surprised the quality of this project coming out of MIT. Not only the UI was quite hard to use, I could not get beyond 10 samples. They were annoyingly obvious. Why would they not choose to not to make this as tricky as possible?
You're exactly right. Public health in general has not pushed juice, but what I should have stated is they have been complicit in not condemning it and pushing for prominent labeling on juice. They've sat back and allowed it to be marketed aggressively, to a point where the mayor of NYC exempted fruit juices from the proposal for a sugar tax. The general public thinks juice is healthy. That's easily remedied with public health messaging, but we all know why it hasn't: farmers/USDA/lobbyists.
everything is to be taken seriously (ie at face value) bc anything more than that would require agreement between those who disagree. (considered to be somewhat of a hard problem.)
That's worrying, but I am serious about matching experience 1:1 with the role that was presented.

Perhaps they assume I'm overqualified, but that seems odd, especially in this climate.

Europe cares about Ukrainian because it directly attacks a country in Europe and puts other countries like Germany in a weaker position. Germany has decided to grow an army in response.

Performative social justice is required by society and the market - investors, clients, prospective employees.

For this reason, you won't really find a way to escape it in the long run, and you may as well just drink the kool-aid and get good at it. It is, as you say, performative, so you don't need to agree with it nor expend substantial effort, and it's totally ok, expected even, that you find some causes you happen to agree with, or treat it primarily as a social event.

Any company/management who is not currently playing along will eventually have new owners/management installed that play this game.
I like your marathon analogy. Not everyone can or does run a marathon, but there are still lots of marathoners. You do need stamina, but you don't need an inhuman level of stamina like Bellard's. If you don't stress yourself and pick your enemy wisely (like, start with ES5) it is very much doable.
I'm a big fan of miller (mlr) -- it's the tool I landed on when I needed to "graduate" from awk to look at CSV data. But when I read "go based" in your comment, I thought "nope, it's written in C". But no! It was ported to go -- very interesting!

The developer wrote a comprehensive document explaining the rationale behind the porting that answered all my questions and a lot more: https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/blob/main/README-go-port.....

Thought other miller/mlr fans (that don't follow its development) might find this interesting as well.

(The dasel tool looks very cool, too -- looks like a good complement to mlr and similar tools!)

I think the key difference is whether the local teams have the choice to opt out or not, and my belief is that they should. If they can, they can solve their own problem if the global solution doesn't work. If the global solution wants to keep them as consumers, they must adapt. If they can't leave, the global team will almost certainly stop responding to their needs over time. Like communism, a global solution is terrific in theory, but human behavior causes it to break down in practice.

Caveat, for small enough problems, good enough solutions, and charismatic enough leaders, global solutions can work. But they all break eventually.
They should have just written the code, patented it, and taken a gaggle of VCs to the cleaners.

Yeah. I have a semi-recent copy and the box says "Catan – Trade Build Settle", so that definitely seems like a regular rebranding. And people who see politics everywhere are projecting that it is political.
They are doing a great job. 180 turnaround from the company that wanted their products to look clean above usable.

Only downside to me is that in such relatively expensive hardware they should have doubled all storage options. Starting at 512GB for the entry spec and 1TB for the high end spec is rather low.

Blackthorne ran on 68040 as well. I think WarCraft came out first though...
(2) is rubber duck debugging (written in a condescending way).

The point of rubber duck debugging is the duck isn't talking back, or questioning why the code exists, or why the project exists, or suggesting different programming approaches - it just sits there while you work through explaining it and listening to you.

> Humanity either needs to "agree to disagree" on wide swaths of things we care a whole bunch about (abortion, firearms, lgbtq, etc) or we need to go back to not discussing those things in public or polite company.

There’s a third option, which is that discussion can lead to actual moral progress where society decides that certain views are just beyond the pale. A few decades ago people might have ‘agreed to disagree’ on whether interracial marriage was ok. Now society has formed a consensus on this issue and anyone who’s opposed to interracial marriage is part of an isolated fringe.

Saying that we should agree to disagree on controversial issues sounds superficially reasonable - especially when you’re exhausted from reading some awful twitter thread. It won’t necessarily sound so great in retrospect. It’s also a luxury that people directly affected by the relevant issues don’t always have.

The real problem isn't people debating controversial issues, which is fine and healthy and necessary for progress. The problem is the way that platforms like Twitter incentivize hot takes, rapid response, bullying, and other behavior that's not conducive to rational discussion.

Also, anyone who thinks that intemperate public discourse on controversial topics is a new phenomenon should check out some of the things that Thomas Moore and Martin Luther said to each other: https://meansandmatters.wordpress.com/2009/07/21/my-favorite...

For some time already we are in an "epicyclean phase" of physics, trapped by the extraordinary predictive success of Quantum Electrodynamics and still using mathematical methods devised in the 19th century (variational calculus). This has lead us to the current situation, with extremely complicated theories at the limit of human understanding that bear no new results.
It will take a modern day Copernicus to come up with a new view of physics, that will result in simpler, more productive models, to take us out of the local maximum we are in.
