You're acting like laws are the only decisions that matter. Laws constrain business decisions, sure, but they don't dictate them. In some cases, they may constrain them enough to effectively dictate them (like the Buy American Act) but those are relatively rare.

>Any company that takes on much higher costs than its competitors without getting some benefit in return will not be able to stay in business for long.

This gets to my earlier point. Voting at the ballot and voting with your wallet are both ways to evaluate what people value. Both individual consumers and businesses vote with their wallets. Have you never paid more for something because it better aligns with your value system? Or do you strictly make purchases solely on the input of price? I see many people on HN who refuse to buy Amazon Basic items precisely for this reason, even though they are often the cheapest option.

As I previously said, American consumers largely value cheap shit. Companies largely value profits. Both of these, taken to an extreme, can come at the expense of other things like economic stability or strategic independence. The difference is, I hold all three (individuals, companies, and governments) accountable for those choices. It just seems weird to me that so many people are willing to hold a subset of them to task while giving the other subset a free pass.

>Any company that takes on much higher costs than its competitors without getting some benefit in return will not be able to stay in business for long.

Let me reframe this. If I instead said, "Any politician who doesn't take millions of dollars from lobbyists will not be able to stay in office for long", would that make accepting of that money somehow justified in your mind? For most people the answer is no. The difference is we've been hoodwinked into thinking morally ambiguous or outright immoral behavior is somehow ok in one sphere while acknowledging a moral burden elsewhere.

I'm not arguing that we can simply start making things in America on the drop of a dime. Anyone who has been involved in manufacturing knows that there is a lot of manufacturing expertise that has left and can only be done (at the current time, at least) overseas. What I'm poking at is that this is the logical progression of offshoring manufacturing over the last half-century. That strategy is due in part to corporate influence on laws, as well as the government who put those laws in place, as well as the constituents who put those civil servants in place. I'm old enough to remember Ross Perot's quip about the "giant sucking sound" from jobs (and expertise) being sucked out of the country and to witness firsthand the decline of the rust-belt. To act like corporations are blameless in the undermining of local manufacturing is naïve IMO.

It attracts "pragmatism" and "simplicity" in my experience, but in the prescence of cheap optimal solutions the worse alternative is chosen to preserve that pragmatic image.

> There's something to be said for ratcheting up sanctions slowly. If you go all-in at once, the country being sanctioned has no incentive to change their behavior.

I couldn't disagree more strongly. Russia is murdering thousands of people per day. Every day, including today. This is not the time for plodding deliberation. Quick action has the possibility of saving millions of homes and thousands of lives.

The cause of the sanctions is crystal clear. If Russia wants the sanctions to end they need to stop invading another country and murdering its citizens.

> There's also something undeniably weird about companies interfering in international relations.

Cutting off business relations is exactly how sanctions work. This happens both through explicit rules and implicit ones. Companies err on the side of leaving the sanctioned country to avoid compliance headaches, the risk of accidentally violating sanctions, and to avoid funding a murderous dictator.

All of this is a normal and expected part of how sanctions work.
Once you get used to low-latency or high-refresh-rate displays, you can't not notice the subtle mouse cursor drag of a "early days" 4K display (had one at work), or the teeny delay of (most) Dell monitors. Honestly considered at asome point just asking work to get me a high-Hz display.
It exists as a proprietary product. Final Fantasy 14's Mac "port" is using Crossover, which slaps some magic on Wine. Definitely not a AAA graphics title but you could run it today. On a 16" MBP with the top spec M1 Max, it will get about 30-50fps with medium detail and I think I tested it at 1680x1050 - which feels like a miracle, almost, but gets trounced by an Intel i9 + AMD Vega 56(?) MBP running Windows from a few years ago. If the right APIs were available and an aarch64 binary were published instead, it would probably be a different story.
I probably would. Or at least a comment about packed. I can’t remember when __attr(packed) works and when it doesn’t.

There is a third variable: Apple is putting ram much closer to the CPU than AMD. This has the advantage that you get lower latency (and slightly higher bandwidth), but the downside that you're currently limited to 128gb of ram, compared to 2tb for threadripper (4tb for epic). Amd's 3d cache that they're launching in a few months will be interesting since it lets the L3 go up a ton.
Being able to read both Galileo's contention that the sun does not move and the church's condemnation of his theory.

Being able to read both the corporate press's arguments in favor of invading Iraq and independent voices critiquing those arguments.

Being able to, in short, inform myself of competing views on an issue.

As Richard Feynman said, "science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts."

If arguments are obviously wrong, they are easily refuted.

Censorship leads invariably to tyrrany, which is why the USA's bill of rights enshrined the right to free speech and free press as the first and most fundamental guaranteed right.

Why do you think an opinion poll of the general public has any value here?

I get your point, how long do we keep digging before we reach the center of the earth?

It is human nature to quit, most especially, when there is no foreseeable benefits.

But think about it this way, science is like the human body.

The head of science, are those scientists who make a new discovery by going through research articles of their predescessors, who were just 1 mm from digging up gold.

The necks are those scientists, who almost made a new discovery, but couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

And the legs, are the early scientist like Galileo, who laid the ground work.

Anyways, wherever you find yourself, it is imperative you don't lose faith in the process.

Afterall, everybody mocked the Wright brothers, for building a plane. And most advanced scientist question, why they venture into this field called science, afterall it is a labor of love, and only the lucky few get glorified.

But I get your point through and through, it is better scientists pour in their brains in more linear science, like things we can see and computate, instead of pouring brain power in abstract concept that has no current benefit in the present society.

exactly, when i'm listening to music for 8 hours a day, discovering new artists and community made playlists is the killer feature. what i'm starting to hate about spotify is the politics behind what music is available. i invest the time into building out playlists just to have half the songs get blacked out a few days later because "money", yet the record label has the album on youtube as f2p.

also, show me how my monthly subscription is divided up while you're at it.
As a dev, I think this is neat - but unfortunately, to this very day, the most important workloads usually are single-threaded, even the ones that are multi-threaded, rarely scale to more than 8 cores.

This usually means that the advanced M1 variants don't really offer an advantage over the base offering, although, more RAM is always nice.
Algorithmic Hiring Needs a Human Face
I've seen someone close to me have some kind of a cathartic process and get a lot better. It also required finally facing (at least some of) their emotional blocks or trauma, so it's not like venting alone did much of anything. But I'm pretty sure that if they hadn't got the opportunity to air a lot of their previously suppressed feelings in emotional safety, the rest of it also wouldn't have happened.

I don't think aggressive venting alone is going to do much, but whenever I come across one of these studies that purport to show catharsis as not existing, I can't avoid feeling there must be more to the story.

Some people are also going to interpret "catharsis/venting does not work" as meaning it's perfectly wise to not listen with actual empathy and just slam solutions at people instead. But that also doesn't work.
I might eat my own words in a month but currently the Ruble doesn't look very "collapsed" to me. FX rate rose from 75 to 130 which is still less than what happened after the 2014 sanctions when it went from 35 to 70 and Russia didn't collapse due to this.

The algorithm isn't (likely) to be faster for problems that people actually have. It scales better, so it's faster than older algorithms for large enough numbers, but the numbers would have to be absurdly large, beyond what anybody is likely to need anytime soon, if ever, for the algorithm to be useful.
Maybe, but I don't see anyone going the way of dual-link ports ever again. It was clumsy enough the first time.

> it is miles better. My Samsung S21 recognises my fingerprint around 9 times out of 10

That second sentence doesn’t imply the first one. The Samsung could have a lower false positive rate (letting the registered fingerprint unlock the phone more often) at the cost of a higher false negative rate (letting unregistered fingerprints unlock the phone more often)

In the limit, if it rolled a ten sided die for any press of its button, and unlocked the phone unless it rolled a one, that would give users the impression that it recognizes their fingerprint 90% of the time.

(Of course, “doesn’t imply” doesn’t mean the first sentence isn’t true, either. It may be genuinely better, or Samsung might have chosen a different cut-off, sacrificing security for a gain in usability. I wouldn’t know. Do any phone reviews test these things at all?)

For most of my life, I identified and voted largely democrat. Over the last 5-10 years I've found myself far more independent aligned due in part to the issues mentioned of the parent poster. Some of the points of conflict include affirmative action. I am fully supportive of helping underprivileged groups, dedicated funding and corrective policy changes to remove things keeping them down, but do not think explicit affirmative action is the right way to go about that, and in fact feel it weakens ones position and seems clearly hypocritical from one ostensibly seeking equality.

I also take a broad issue with the sheer amount of effort the democrats have focused on issues of identity as opposed to class. Not that one should ignore the former, but I find the latter to be a far more central, immediate, and critical issue that needs addressing, and that the way the democrats are implementing their approach to the former, like their position on affirmative action, is instead driving a wedge and fighting against their best intentions.
Agreed, everything else I love about my current SE, but the camera was near zero improvement over my 6. If it’s single lens it’s likely to still be a significant shortcoming. They try to workaround it with better image processing algos but it’s not the same.
Firefox V89 was last 'not actively terrible' version in my opinion. I've disabled updates and I'll continue using it until it breaks or becomes too insecure. At that point I'll jump ship to Waterfox or another browser.

Disabling updates was not straightforward. Settings in about:config and GPO are ignored, I had to create a policies.json as described here, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1304175.

There's a big overlap. I moved to Go from Python and tons of Python conferences had Go presentations and familiar names picking up Go.

Same with js, notably that Tj van der something guy.
It's easy electronically but if you're writing an app for a device/OS that doesn't implement that capability and expose it to apps you're left with either pseudorandom numbers or a sample. A very long losslessly compressed sample can be good but would require a large download, so in practice these apps generally have short, lossily compressed samples. These samples (and the alternative, pseudorandom numbers) sound absolutely awful. A human mind on the verge of sleep is an insanely powerful signal processing device and recogniser/producer/completer of patterns.

Raspberry Pis have hardware random number generators. I use one to generate smoothed brown noise for sleep. It's blissful.

I've been meaning to get round to solving this problem on phones, making an app that can, without a ridiculously large download, generate really high quality sleep noise. I have some ideas but it's not an easy problem.

OP here. I think another part of the problem besides the browser implementation problems pointed out in this study are privacy protection scripts which block anything that looks like tracking. Navigator.sendBeacon() is often used for tracking so it's an easy target.

This has serious implications for search engines using parallel tracking, which is all the big guys at this point. Parallel tracking relies upon the sendbeacon method to send tracking data. Half the clicks made by parallel tracking calls aren't getting through in our experience.

Do the situations ever get resolved if you don’t send the letters, or do you use the letters as a basis for having a more mature conversation after?

I sometimes do the same thing, and after I get my ideas out/vented, I end up rewriting the letter with gained empathy/understanding, and then use that as an outline for a conversation (if not reading the letter verbatim for especially difficult subjects) with the person. Otherwise, even if I feel a little better, nothing actually was resolved.

"If I follow Sue on social media, now I know her politics, religion, sex life, drug usage, opinions on every little thing.. and frankly, I don't care or want to. I'm happy just playing some Catan once in a while."

I have a slightly different view of this. People's opinions on things are always in flux, even if they sway heavily toward one side. What we see on social media is a person's opinions without the context of a human interaction. On social media, we see Sue's emotional response to politics without her having to negotiate that emotional response in relationship to another person sitting in front of her. She may "believe" what she says in the moment she types it, but put her in a room with a friend who disagrees and you can watch how her views shift, push back, concede, change, challenge, etc. On social media, there's very little of this taking place, because there's zero human intimacy at work. It belief in a vacuum not in relationship.
Not to mention, they will have to do something with all that surplus product. I predict aggressive local marketing and an increase in diabetes rates.
I think everything is political, even code.... But the conversation Twitter fosters is not useful. I see people jumping on others for small mistakes or imagined slights, searching for inconsistencies ("On March 3 you said this about apples, on March 7 you said this about oranges -- why don't you have a CONSISTENT STANCE ON FRUITS YOU HYPOCRITE"), etc. And yes, it's so easy to comment from the sidelines; I see people sitting comfortably in Minneapolis or Miami criticizing a journalist tweeting about the refugee situation in Moldova.

Folks try to have nuanced discussion on Twitter but it's not possible when it's so reactionary and atomized. I no longer tweet either. I go on Twitter to find interesting people to follow in other forums, not to talk to anyone. I am a silent tweeter, heh.
So act. But don't act like you're acting.
Everything I've heard about the Pro display XDR's has been that all the things like USB/Thunderbolt connectivity are rock solid.
This suggests Apple's display group has their goods together, and the Studio Display is likely to be solid too.
It really feels like this is all in the name of their AR/VR efforts. The killer device as far as I can think would be a simple headset that packs the capabilities of full-blown workstations. Apple Silicon seems like it could totally be on that track in some way.

The Joys and Sorrows of Maintaining a Personal Website
This was initially kinda justifiable; when the first 5K iMac came out there was no commonly available connection that could do 5K (the iMac used a somewhat overclocked DP link internally, I think), so their only option would have been two DP cables (a configuration that then also had very limited support).

That excuse really went away with TB3 and newer iterations of DP, tho, and it's pretty disappointing that they didn't bring it back at that point.

Yeah, but how is the test taker supposed to know whether to take the smearing as indicating it's fake or not?

Better would be to let them see 10 videos all at once, half of which are fake, and ask them to divide into a fake set of 5 and a real set of 5, after looking at all of them as many times as they like. Asking "fake or real" when there is no basis to tell whether flaws should be taken as indicating "fake" or just attributed to compression seems meaningless.

Or tell people what aspects of fakeness they're trying to assess - eg, forget about video artifacts, just pay attention to the audio.

Using clips of Trump and Biden is also a bad idea. They ask you to say if you've seen one before, but aren't many people going to have seen one, but not clearly remember that, and then be influenced to think it's real by sub-conscious recognition?

Why not present pairs of videos of the same non-famous person, one fake one real, both presented with the same amount of compression, and ask one to chose which is the real one? Using many different people, of course - why would you introduce doubt about the generality of your results by using only two people?

Of course, in practice people may be less able to recognize fakes when video quality is poor, which would be useful to know, but I think one would need to investigate that issue separately, not in combination with other reasons that fakes might or might not be recognizable.
