“Normal” usage isn’t going to be terribly more energy efficient - efficiency doesn’t change much depending on number of cores loaded. (Unless you’re only loading efficiency cores in the case of 12th-gen Intel.) (More cores might actually be more efficient if it thermally limits the CPU - in that case the frequency will be throttled, which will put you at a more efficient place on the voltage curve.)

Tom’s Hardware 5800X3D review[1] has some efficiency numbers if you scroll down. High-end Zen 3 chips seem mostly a bit more efficient than high-end 12th-gen Intel. By far the most efficient CPU tested is the 5700X, which is AMD’s fastest 65W TDP part. They don’t have any low-power Intel chips (e.g. Core i7-12700T) in the test. (Though I’ve always found retail availability of low-power Intel chips to be terrible.)

This is a really upsidedown take. Spam was rampant prior to better safeguards around privacy, for one. It almost took down the internet iirc.
Yes, to me blockchain at this moment is more a solution looking for a problem. Regarding the biggest implementation, aka, Cryptocurrencies, what if they are "Too big to fail"? Should we as a society just let it happen to avoid a negative net economic welfare (in the short run)?
The issue with banks is that the battle is legal/social, for example as someone who get paid by international wires often let me tell you that sometimes (rare cases but when it happens it happen to many) the money just disappears for months, and there is no way to troubleshoot it as a normal individual, you just go to the bank and ask about your money and either they just deny there is anything they can do and blame it on the sender, or just give you looks and question the legitimacy of what you are doing.

Sometimes banks freeze international wires until the government investigate the source of the funds to make sure they are not funding terrorism, this happen to any sum higher than $5k in my country for example. I just wish to never be in such a position.
The US has around ~10-12 times the disposable median income of Thailand (2019 figures), and ~10 times the GDP per capita of Thailand (2022 IMF estimates).

It's like a typical consumer in the US spending $500+ per month for broadband. Even worse if you consider the rural income factor. Absolutely insane.

For a fraction of that you can get 1gbps from Comcast and you'll never utilize most of it in 99% of consumer situations.

I'm in a small quasi rural 'city' in the US, hours away from any consequential city, and I can get 1.2gbps from Comcast for 15-20% of the income adjusted rate in question referenced for Thailand.

It seems common to forget how astoundingly high US median income, disposable income, and GDP per capita figures are compared to the rest of the world. The latest 2022 estimates are pegging US GDP per capita at nearly double that of France and Japan. To match up on median disposable income figures, you have to use hyper affluent countries like Australia, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and Norway as references. Then people come on HN and proclaim how they're paying only $20 per month for Internet access, in a country with 1/10-1/5 the median disposable income of the US. The US is more expensive than it should be for Internet access (better telecom competition would go a long ways toward fixing that), however the reality is US income figures are also a lot higher than most of the developed world.
Yes, but gravitational waves themselves were not testable. To get from the confirmation of the other predictions to belief in gravitational waves, for which you had no direct evidence (until recently), you need to apply exactly the non-empirical criteria (parsimony, consistency, etc.) that Hossenfelder (taken literally) seems to think is not sufficient for doing theoretical physics in the absence of direct evidence.

General relativity is linear algebra? Has anyone called up Tullio Levi-Civita and told him that his services will no longer be necessary?
Thank you for this and Caddy.
Well, you can do maths research. That doesn't need to be testable, only self-consistent. However, number theorists don't come and say they've uncovered some grand mystery of the cosmos when they prove something about trans-finite numbers, unlike many theoretical physicists.
Where do you spend 120 baht a meal? That's a restaurant meal, not the average meal. I don't spend more than 60 baht in Bangkok. At $7 (250 baht) you're talking about a night out (maybe except alcohol), way off of the "average meal".
Not if you compare current time periods. China is genociding Uighurs. There's no USA equivalent in this day and age. And this is not a propaganda piece.

You are far away from reality if you think China and USA are morally equivalent in the current day and age.
Wow, my laborious-seeming TikZ workflow actually looks pretty simple in comparison! It's all in the one tool and the entire picture code is right there in the Latex source, easy to edit and version control. Shading on a surface is not something I've got nice yet, and lines becoming occluded is a manual effort, but I'm pretty sure I could produce something like the 6 hour figure on p24 in quite a bit less time than that.

Edges of surfaces caused by things like hills obscuring other parts of the same surface, or the surface curving back behind itself (many examples of both on p2 of this) are something I don't have a good way to do. I have done it by doing edge detection on an OpenGL depth buffer and vectorising the results, but that's hard to integrate with TikZ, and changing view angle means doing it all again. Shadows are another problem.
The full paragraph is:
"Why am I telling you this? I am not talking about this because I want to change the mind of my colleagues in physics. They have grown up thinking this is an important research question and I don’t think they’ll change their mind. But I want you to know that you can safely ignore headlines about black hole information loss. You’re not missing anything if you don’t those articles. Because no one can tell which solution is correct in the sense that it actually describes nature, and physicists will not agree on one anyway. Because if they did, they’d have to stop writing papers about it. "

It's hard for me to read this is as anything other than "I am not talking about this because I want to change the mind of my colleagues in physics [because they're too far gone]." That is, she believes the research is worthless and the problem shouldn't be investigated. She just doesn't think she can convince people of this.
I had Sonic fiber for a few years, in the Bay Area. I always got the full gigabit, basically. Speedtest always showed around 940Mbps up and down. This was over Ethernet, since I always ran Ethernet into the Thunderbolt dock for my main Mac.

Usually got around 500-600Mbps over WiFi on a fast device.
Privacy does not mean anonymous interaction with known parties. It means the CIA can’t see me make an account transfer over the wire. In other words, without a warrant. Authentication and privacy are compatible. Privacy and anonymity are orthogonal.
You dont even try putting it out. Your best bet is some kind of cover (metal bucket) and throwing it outside as fast as possible. Or you know, dont keep Chinese scooters indoors.

You're only illustrating the fact that given an honest error in crypto, reversibility tends to be the exception, not a rule. While in traditional finance it's the reverse.

Taking any one scenario where it didn't work out that way is highly selective cherry picking. There is not functional equivalence between "almost always impossible" and "almost always possible".

For websites with specifically-American audiences, it can often be easier to only allow people from their intended readership access than to correctly understand and implement compliance to a foreign law. In this case, it's a local news website.

Seems like we should mandate the slapping of big “not certified” stickers on any battery of sufficient danger that’s not certified. And maybe subsidize and streamline testing to make sure it’s not too stifling for small startup entrants to the industry. Maybe wishful thinking, looking at our history with that kind of thing.
Price-controlled labour market implies that price is actually a mechanism which is complicated to do if you’re operating on something akin to “from each according to ability and to each according to need”.

Whatever system you use needs to somehow resolve the issue that 53% of the youth population wants to be a social media influencer yet far fewer than 1% of jobs are that. Permitting price gets you this but it seems to be a very weak form of socialism if you adopt a system in which some people will make millions and others will make peanuts.

After the last iOS update, Apple nagged the shit out of me to setup Apple Pay, for two days. No way to say ‘fuck off’ - only ‘remind me’. No obvious way to stop the nagging. Finally I gave them just the tip, and then pulled out before the money shot, and that seems to have shut them up for now.
I only used MLK because he's a Western figure that stood up to racism. For us as Muslims, Islam set the guidelines on these issues a long long time ago. All people are equal under God, skin color does not matter. The only thing that matters at the end when we stand in front of Him is who comes with the most piety and good deeds, as those will determine where you end up.

> there always is a way to silently lose messages

That's a bit overgeneralized.

A simple protocol for message delivery that will not silently fail: resend it (presumably with a unique identifier of some sort to avoid duplication), pessimisticly and loudly pointing out "failure" (really: ambiguity of delivery), until you get a reciept of delivery.

What the two generals problem points out for this protocol is:

1. the sender of the reciept won't be certain that said reciept was recieved

2. the message may be successfully sent before the sender realizes it

3. if communication is permanently severed, the sender may forever be uncertain if the message ever got through or not (but this can be messaged loudly and pessimistically to the end user)

This creates design problems for coordination of consensus for things like database transactions, but a chat client failing to alert to potentially undelivered messages is just bad, not merely running afoul of some fundamental law of information science.

Of course, it's always possible to successfully send and recieve reciept of a message, only for the recipient's server to suddenly catch on fire and explode before backups are made, thus permanently losing any record of said message, but that's more of a "two generals and an assassin" problem, outside the scope of the original thought experiment. It is also, hopefully, a rarer scenario than packet loss.
> Proxmox + ansible was a paradigm shift for me

Sure, I use virtualization when possible, but I prefer Docker.

But for me now problem, that some vendors prohibit usage of their devices in virtual environment, so I have to stay semi-desktop.
For example, nvidia official drivers for desktop (game) cards, don't work in virtual env, and server cards are slow in games and have worse performance/$ rate.

In some distant future, I believe, will buy dedicated server machine, but now using desktop, to save money and space.
At this point it's a lost cause. Recently, I tried to search for details regarding a new release of the go x/crypto package, and unfortunately all the results were related to cryptocurrencies, etc.

Somewhat similarly, I like to use quotation as the noun, and quote as the verb and never the noun, but it's a totally lost cause, not even worth mentally noting when others use quote as the noun, never mind "correcting" them. Measured by usage, the consensus has shifted.

You know damn well it's not the same. They don't directly target marginalized people every chance they get, and if some non-sense does come up, they don't move in lockstep, at the expense of all personal integrity, like the right does.

25Gb NICs are getting into the affordable range, but SFP28 modules are still very pricey in comparison. I’m a big fan of the Mellanox CX4 LX cards for their low power draw (11w max). OEM cards come cheap and can be crossflashed to generic Mellanox firmware.

The bigger issue with 25G is that it’s well into the range where any OS’s default TCP settings won’t provide anywhere near line speed, and once you solve that it can expose other non-network bottlenecks. I have dual-SFP28 cards in both my workstation and NAS, both connected to the network via a10G Mikrotik switch and directly to each other via a 25G point-to-point link. Now after all that tuning I have a fast network but run into the SAS bus bottleneck for any file transfers exceeding the size of my app take write cache :p
"Better safeguards around privacy"? How is Google or Cloudflare or NSA or whoever peeking at your incoming emails to determine what gets through good for "privacy"? That is upside down and backwards.

Note that they are so closely tied together for black holes, not necessarily for other types of objects. Black holes in the GR description are probably simpler than some elementary particles even.

However, it's important to note that the GR description is itself not exactly self-consistent, as the curvature is divergent at the center of the black hole (it is infinite, I believe?).
The problem is people buying cheap devices that skirt or fake existing battery quality regulations. There would surely be a higher number of people making that kind of purchase if they were to be allowed on UK public roads.

I can’t see how anyone would be made safer by decriminalising scooters - either charging them at home or out on the roads.
Well I guess I really have to learn IPv6 now
The morality isn't about the perceived value, or the utility, but rather the motivation behind the purchase:

When you buy an Apple product, you aren't speculating on the value of it in the future (unless you're a scalper) - you're not buying it because you'll be able to sell it for more, or because of it's rarity and you'll get some sort of social boost.

You buy the product, and you use it, that's your motivation (could be a tool for work, could be for self expression, you could even choose it because you want to be one of the cool guys as well).

When it comes to NFTs, or some trading card games, or even scratch off tickets with prizes, you're buying it because you're expecting to bank on it later, and you hope what you get is extremely rare... the problem is that the majority of this stuff is "rare" for the sake of being "rare", that has no value.

A Black Lotus is rare and valuable because the kids that were playing the game 20+ years ago, now have buying power and can finally get a piece of nostalgia, the problem is that there aren't that many around because people used/wore off/destroyed the card. There's an organic process in this that sustained itself for decades -> that's valuable, it's a cultural artifact.

Now they want to shorten the length of this organic process to some weeks. How is that sustainable?

>You are probably right about no one never did wanted to pay, and that's natural.

I didn't say people didn't want to pay, I think they simply couldn't afford it. But there's still value in that: if I didn't get a pirate copy for GTA Vice City I would have never become a fan of the series. There's brand value in that, don't you think? Why not offset the "cost of piracy" as part of the marketing budget :) ?
I think the main difference is that the CDC 6600 the PP state barrel would rotate in a regular way constantly multiplexing the execution of the 10 virtual PPs in the same hardware.

How do you foresee such a setup handle QUIC? The encrypted connection-ids, 0RTT handshakes, and roaming client-ip and server-ips make it non trivial to proxy connections transparently.
Great answer, thank you for following up. Makes sense about considering the fuels around you. I see cool places for sale in Sebastopol to Guerneville, but seems like fire traps potentially on those windy roads.

The CIA can and will monitor your offline and online behavior if your profile is interesting to them. No amount of "muh privacy" appeals will stop them.

Privacy and anonymity are absolutely not orthogonal. How do you KYC? By "violating" their privacy (storing and querying personal records) to identify (deanonymize) someone.

I'm guessing the part about being unfriendly to non-white people is a big part of what's offensive. may or may not be true, but people tend to react poorly to sweeping negative judgments about the place where they live. on top of that, the analysis of how roads and water work is not quite right.

the overall point about the tax base death spiral is true though. it's really hard to wind down infrastructure that's been built out to support a certain population size. this happens in cities too, it's a major issue in baltimore, for example.

> Not sure if you're aware there are already subtitle options?

I mean subtitle options in the settings for preferred languages.

For example if I set my preferred languages to only German I would get movies and films offered that have German subtitles but no German audio. At least on Netflix, not even a search will find you stuff that is English audio only unless you change the profile language to English even if they have German subtitles.

I had an odd experience when watching season 10 of Modern Family. After the final episode of that season, it started playing the first episode of season 11 but it played in English as the German dub was not ready yet. But there was no way to get that episode by the normal UI means, only when switching languages it would show up.
