They disallow such usage for "GeForce" by proprietary driver's EULA, and they limit open source driver performance (IIRC they require signed binary blob).
Are you sure about that?

Looking at the uproar over at Reddit, it seems like people care far more about refresh rate than resolution or color depth. This also seems to be borne out by the current monitor market - most monitors seem to be 1440p high-refresh rate monitors.

At least for me and my classmates, we got a lot more wrong before we got right. Nothing is worse in this world than an undergrad fresh out of an intro quantum class with a neutered Schrodinger's equation and whatever nonsense pseudo-philosophy they picked up to deal with it. After taking a proper mathematical methods class you start to get the beginnings of an intuition for what's going on for quantum mechanics.
Random dice rolls don’t preclude rolling 1 again and again forever, right? There’s an assumption here about the distribution of arrival times that hasn’t been stated.
There's a reason why "...and the wisdom to know the difference" is the end of the serenity prayer.

In the end it's the crux of the whole thing. Is [X terrible thing] something that's like the weather, something that it's useless to yell at? Or is it something like climate change, also nearly useless to yell at, but with enough fighting and unity we could actually make a difference? And the answer for any really difficult question is going to be an hard one, no pithy saying will tell it to you.

(Though, agreed, far too much shouting is of the irrelevant, angry, useless kind.)
Shouldn’t it be reverted to the original title? I remember that was the usual follow up.
I can't speak for the parent, but I have a physics degree from 30 years ago. Since then my career has diverged from academic physics to the point where it would take some effort to re-learn even my graduate level QM coursework, much less familiarize with current research topics. So I could see where the "former" status comes from.

> Looking at that second link, you have to wonder if they're not closet lesbians. They seem to complain about men not being girly enough...

Or, gender itself is polarized beyond all reason. Men's idea of masculinity is not what women actually want -- men jockey for status among other men, and that isn't actually a recipe for success with women.
Sure, but then the framing is "we're just as bad as these other guys".
Among official responses from game platforms - what I meant by 'the field'. Note that I personally like the creator of itch and respect his opinion, I just did not think it was a professional use of platform.
I am sure it has great GPU performance for what it is but comparing it to a top Nvidia chip just seems ridiculous on Apples part. Apple I think is going to have trouble conquering back the semi pro workstation market they abandoned not that many years ago if they do not start offering M1 chips along with Nvidia GPUs.

Once again we get a Mac Semi-Pro Mini (seems like the Studio is more like a replacement for the Trashcan) that their marketing implies is maybe as good as a Mac Pro but is obviously not. It does look a lot better this time around - at least it has more ports :-D
Where can I talk to it?
I'm not sure where such negative emotions towards people throwing their intuition and expecting further discussing from experts comes from. Don't think anyone is suggesting that people at the "forefront" aren't capable of coming up with such ideas themselves, more like framing the familiar in other contexts to kick-off a discussion.
I haven't found a reliable HDMI setup for 4k at 60 FPS yet, while OTS display port has been fine. TBQH in this price point and market segment that's the minimum requirement, so I can understand why they don't ship with HDMI.
This message feed reminds me of the (excellent) book "Cradle to Cradle". It's about sustainable design/manufacturing and one of the lines that has stuck with me since I read it years ago was (summarizing here), "In the US we regulate how much poison is acceptable per person rather than just outright eliminating the poison!"
I agree with you except the increased wear. Lead is a lubricant and is/was an additive introduced to intentionally decrease wear.

That is largely why the FAA is reluctant to certify older high-compression engines for non-leaded fuel. AFAIK
It’s both. It is a matter of margins, and it has been that way long enough now that it is also a matter of long-term investment in manufacturing capabilities. Nobody wants to make less money, and they definitely don’t want to make less money over a long period of time. Especially when those who make that decision are legally required to maximize the amount of money they make for their investors.
No, it only sustains 1000 nits for HDR content. For SDR content (including normal desktop usage), it provides 500 nits.[0] You may need to reevaluate your perception of what a 600 nit display would look like.

Being afraid of things in acceptable doses is just as ignorant and unhelpful as not being afraid at all.
"live your day like it's the last one.

Are those compatiable? I can think of a few people who would tend towards drugs and/ir violence if it was their last day.

Maybe rob a bank, or take out someone they think world might be better without.
> comes from environmentally destructive practices, which is a damn good reason to prefer imports.

This globalist-centric way of thinking is why we’re currently paying $5/gallon, the highest amount ever. Such a “hidden” tax on the working class is why we should shun imports and be self sufficient both with oil as well as manufacturing - or at least as much as humanly possible.

Thank you for asking in a way that is not derogatory unlike many of the comments here. There are two reasons generally. I am a Christian, and morally natural to the vaccine.

The first (and rarely claimed as the reason) is the mark of the beast interpretation in Revelation. Interpreting much of Revelation is hard, whether the mark is metaphorical or actual, and what the mark is, and what the beast is, are all questions with not extremely clear answers.

The second, and by far the most claimed reason, is the use of fatal tissues in testing, developing, or producing the vaccine. Here, Christians consider supporting and taking this vaccine is similar to supporting abortion. In a similar way, one might think that buying products produced by child labor is supporting child labor, or that eating meat is supporting animal cruelty.

The same Christians who do not support covid vaccine for the second reason, might be fine with taking other vaccines, even if they were developed by aborted tissues. The main reason here is that it has been such a long time between the development and today that taking the vaccine is not a support of such behavior. Similarly, one today might use ride a volkswagon beetle without being considered a supporter of nazi, even though it was developed by the nazi.

Some Christians see that the vaccine is good despite of using fatal tissues, because they see that there is no alternative to preventing getting covid, and so it is permissible in this exceptional circumstance.

I hope this answers your question.

On one hand, benzene goes much farther than any lead-containing organic compound, and the dispersal is exponential, so it's really much farther.

On the other hand, the thing is literally being dispersed from the high-up, so who knows. It is really a strange result, as one should expect detectable differences even if not large enough to matter. Is water carrying it away?
> The fact that some systems can be effectively modelled doesn't mean that all can be.

Based on my understanding, the leading-edge of scientific research shows that “if the human mind can comprehend it, then there is a mathematical function for it”

Are you positing, then, that there simply are limits to what humans can understand? Or, rather, that some systems are just too complex to document properly?
Awesome! I had actually been considering starting a library for using QuickJS+WASM for sandboxing soon.
All of them. The CPU graph is pegged for most of the compilation.
This author presumably wants a dialogue, though? "database-key-provenance-as-art is always a scam" is a fine opinion, but I would have picked one with more nuance
I can't edit my parent comment, just want to say thanks for your later comments, and citing sources.

I was of the impression (and, tbh, am still under the suspicion..) that any myocarditis risk was "noise" -- not noticeably higher than that in the larger population, or that reported cases have confounding factors that would suggest the vaccine is not the cause.

That being said, I think the more interesting question is what constitutes non-trivial medical risk. 1 in 10k is really small, especially for a medical treatment.
They could just approved the alternatives today, if the APA wasn't lobbying because it saves them a little money to continue poisoning us.
> We then use empirical data to reabsorb our new degree of freedom: this is renormalization

Notably, in a less rigorous field, this process would be called "doing science to determine physical properties of things", which most people consider an acceptable pastime for physicists. As it turns out we can be pretty confident that the "experimental evidence" is bunk and there's something going on the theory can't account for, but it's funny that so many of the Monday morning quantum physicists think all this math stuff is just confusing the issue and pure, blind empiricism is the way to go.
You are paying subscribtion, if the forest is destroyed no future money. You don't kill the goose that lays golden eggs, even dictators and idiots know that
The leading candidate for dark matter is that it's a soup of particles that interact gravitationally, but not via the electromagnic or strong nuclear force. If we're very, very lucky, it might interact via the weak nuclear force, which means there exists a slim theoretically possibility that we might be able to observe it interacting via the weak nuclear force. That being said, even if it does interact via the weak nuclear force, there's nothing to say it doesn't interact in a way which gives us the power to differentiate it from, say, neutrinos. And if it doesn't interact via the weak nuclear force, then we cannot every make any characterizations of it ever, not even with arbitrarily advanced technology.

If that's true we're hosed. There would be no insights, no way to theory ourselves out of it. Only nerds wailing futilely about dark matter on the internet. And sadness. And we wouldn't know it's because all our theories are correct, but we don't have the complete picture of the extra-Standard Model dark matter particles, or if it's because some variation of MOND is true, (although it's extremely unlikely to be a MOND variation) or if we're as wrong as epicycles vs curved fabric of spacetime.
I'd like to understand how to simply test it out.. any idea?
Russia-Ukraine War: What Happened March 8
Google Trends is not the place to be looking. Programming Language adoption is best gauged by the number of jobs which require skill in the language. Ruby and Rails adoption according to Indeed.com/co.uk has been steady for many years, though not at the levels seen when at its peak. Rails is particularly popular in the U.S. and it is more accurate to describe it as boring tech rather than dying. There are currently 260 Rails jobs in London according to Indeed.co.uk and 1124 Ruby jobs which is still over 1000 if you knock-off 10% for non-tech Ruby results.
I probably shouldn't, but ok.

I used a few trigger words like attitude, open mind, and ignoring. This was in response to a post which I truly didn't understand because it came off as directed at me and was shutting down the conversation based on a downvote I did not give. If you have a better explanation for it, I would love to hear it and apologize.

I get downvoted all the time, but it doesn't bother me if I get a cogent response because it usually leads to a good conversation.

I was going to respond to your comment, but every time I read it, it honestly upsets me a little more. I think you've read snark and ill intent where there was none, and you've insulted me and the community. I know you said it wasn't an insult, but calling me intellectual immature is quite uncalled for. You know nothing about me, and I frankly have every right to be offended by it.

I do want you to know I'm flagging your last comment because I don't think it belongs on HN. And at least know that I'm providing an explanation to you. I bear you no ill will, but I do hope you reconsider the way you are posting. I would posit that we both probably have quite a bit of growing to do.
Well, roughly-HTML, almost-CSS and fairly-but-not-completely-JS. Historically, TIScript was the biggest problem for web compatibility, being very web-incompatible, but even the QuickJS version is already incompatible with the web in a couple of ways. And its fork of CSS doesn’t implement things like Flex and Grid, but rather something proprietary with similar scope, some advantages, some disadvantages, but mostly just different which I would say is generally a bad thing.
Most laws apply to people within the territory of a country, not to citizens of that country wherever they may be, and extradition typically is used when the law was broken in some country and the offender fled, not when the offense was committed elsewhere. For what it's worth, I think the counter-examples are a worrying trend.

Is there a good reason why any country willing to claim you as a citizen should have a right to police you wherever you are in the world? In context, if Russia decided that all current Ukrainians were Russian citizens should they be allowed to continue the invasion (which at that point would just be ordinary police work quelling an internal rebellion)?
> would surely give a today's Steve Jobs a date with HR.

I agree, everything is political, and what we consider to be apolitical is oftentimes just a reflection of what we consider to be acceptable politics. Even objective facts about observable phenomena become political in how we interpret them (or outright reject them, see: flat earth). Back during gamergate, for example, this was a point completely lost on the pro-GG side: lingerie as armor and the sexualization of women was so accepted and widespread, you would have to view women primarily as an accessory for men to get upset over relatively unobjectionable depictions of women and call that "forcing politics into video games." Dan Olson made a great point in the same vein in "Cooking Food On The Internet For Fun And Profit" [0] that even what you eat is political: what you consider normal, exotic, and assume others are familiar with or have access to is a reflection on where you grew up, how you grew up, your wealth, and your values.

Edit: It's also a lot easier to stay "apolitical" when you don't have any skin in the game (or rather, don't think you do). When your rights don't feel threatened, it's really easy to go with the status quo.

The funny part about this speech is that he's just telling everyone they did it wrong, and Richard Gabriel agrees:

https://dreamsongs.com/Files/DoingItWrong.pdf

The point of his pattern language is to enable people to create their own architecture for their own needs. The point of OOP design patterns is to lock you in a prison of enterprise Java programming in the Kingdom of Nouns. Of course, I think everyone realized this like a decade ago.

It'd be reasonable to understand the underlying model, however.
A "row" in BigTable is multi-level map that can grow large (100s MB). So you can essentially encode and entire star schema on that.
The full structure is row -> column-families -> qualifiers -> timesamps -> values
I went to school in the Midwest and a good example of this is if you had a hybrid/remote job in Louisville or Cincy, it would likely be much better for your health to live in Madison, Indiana. It's not far away but feels like a different world, much more low key and with a community focus. You could always drive into the city and book a few days if you had that desire.
Leaded gas used in general aviation is not jet fuel. Slightly higher octane than "car" fuel, but definitely not jet fuel which is basically kerosene. I could be wrong, but I don't think you could smell the difference between leaded and non-leaded fuel in exhaust.

There are many implied choices in text editors and formats.

For example, text is treated as 1.5 dimensional. Line breaks are respected and used to delimit the majority of the y axis span, but line wrapping(if not word wrapping) is also a standard feature. The cursor is often aware of the 2D representation and jumps through the middle of a wrapped line; more sophisticated editors include a notion of a 2D cursor mode.

These are choices. Text could be paginated to a fixed width instead, as in Forth blocks, and line endings therefore appear as another form of whitespace character, in a separation of source data from resulting output.

Alternately, we could have any number of break levels defined as characters, beyond lines, tabs, and columns - a rich set of breaks for larger constructs like paragraphs and pages, smaller ones like subscripts and superscripts, and possibly user defined ones - pushing our text format's features in the direction of something like TeX, just with a preference towards a byte encoding of each break. I've pursued that idea in a custom format. With break nesting you add opportunities for various types of lists. A careful observation of English punctuation reveals that it uses a hierarchy of break levels in this manner, with period, comma, semicolon, em-dash, etc. Yet somehow text editing has converged on line breaks and whitespace as the only relevant forms of break to natively recognize, the rest being delegated to a separate parsing stage(and programming languages themselves gravitating towards quotes and braces to nest, rather than employing more breaking characters).

Looking at Scratch, to name one well-known example, there is a genuine possibility of breaking away from text-editor tradition. It just hasn't been the focus when the tradition is being serviced so well by so many tools.

Thanks. Yes, I understand this very well. I have this image of a petulant child downvoting without an ounce of thought or understanding. This is purely done on an ideological or (spoken as a child throwing a tantrum) "I don't like it! I don't like it! I don't like!" attitude.

What I am saying isn't a matter of personal opinion at all. I make this very clear. This is about mathematics, physics and elementary calculations. Yet, nobody bothers to devote anything but a trivial amount of time to check what they are sure they know and question it.

Just today I saw a press conference with the Vice President Harris and Pete Buttigieg. She went on an on about this idea of imagining that all of our heavy transportation systems became electric. Pink unicorns and bubble gum for everyone. Except, the entire thing is a pile of --sorry-- pure horse shit. Nobody wants to question this delusional drive into the disaster these people are going to create.

Despite what this might sound like, I DO, want electric transportation. I want 100% of our ground and air transportation systems to go electric...eventually. The thing is, for that to happen we need to extract ourselves from the mass delusion/religion this has become and put down a solid plan to make it happen. It will take somewhere in the range of 25 to 50 years. That is, if we execute to perfection.

The first thing we need is cheap oil. Which means producing as much of it as possible here.

The next thing we need is a solid --as if our lives depended on it-- commitment to build as much nuclear generation capacity as possible. That means a minimum of 500 nuclear plants, likely of 1 GW class. And they can't take 25 years to be built.

And, yes, solar, wind, renewables and batteries. Responsibly. With attention to total cost of ownership as well as total environmental cost. These things are not magical. They are not clean. These are dirty technologies, in different ways, but dirty just the same. You have to look at manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance and lifetime (replacement) costs and consequences.

We can do this, but we have to stop lying and believing these lies first.

That is what I am clamoring for.
In terms of the parameters of the standard model, in any other field setting parameters with theory rather than experimentation would be ridiculous. But somehow when it comes to quantum mechanics everyone rediscovers their reductionist hat and demands that every theory neatly explain all the details without anyone actually entering a laboratory.

I'm not saying I'm not a little miffed there isn't yet a nice, lower-level theory that predicts all of QM, but man is it frustrating when people flip flop to and from pure empiricism at the drop of a hat, based on a layman's understanding of a mature, developed field.
