Albright later criticized Stahl's segment as "amount[ing] to Iraqi propaganda", saying that her question was a loaded question.“I think that is a very hard choice,” Albright answered, “but the price, we think, the price is worth it.” She wrote, "I had fallen into a trap and said something I did not mean",[127] and that she regretted coming "across as cold-blooded and cruel".[121] She apologized for her remarks in a 2020 interview with The New York Times, calling them "totally stupid".[128][122]

Atoms generally use 3-5 watts per core. So the biggest CPUs they're making are on par with atoms.

They keep designing chips that use less and less per core. Why not cram as many cores as possible into a single server? Lower density means more wasted material, and once you go below 2GHz you're not saving very much power any more.
Yeah but those are all lay person vernacular insults. Now we have a scientifically shaped cudgel with which to institutionally beat the weird, troubled, socially awkward and nerdy. All the while claiming to be helping them with their "disability".
Some tools inspire simply by existing ("... oh yeah, and then we could use godbolt, and ..."). Just as some tooling gaps discourage ("... aannd then we'd hit the same old familiar problem of X, sigh"). So broader impact can extend even beyond use and its results. Thanks for all the years of fish, both caught and dreamt.
In another comment, but my understanding is that you cannot revoke your copyright over anything you create, but can make it free for use by others. Hence you must licence appropriately.
No. Explicitly licensing things is fine as you still retain copyright, but are allowing others to use and modify.
Can you provide some evidence that helmets provide additional benefits when used in combination with airbags and seatbelts? Specifically actual testing. You would probably want to look at auto racing. My gut feeling is that even a slight decrease in visibility in a car wherein visibility is already limited would make a collision more likely and airbags would already provide substantial cushioning for your head so long as the seatbelt keeps the driver in the car.

I think helmets in a car would be a net loss.

That’s why I’m working on my own, these days, I guess.

Not so sure “sufficiently motivated” folks could just learn this.

I have what I call my “fugue state.” It’s a fairly “timeless,” focused, self-centered state, where “everything flows.” I get a lot done, when in this state, but many hours can go by, and it’s exhausting.

I couldn’t describe what I’m doing, to save my life. In fact, the best way to break it, is to ask me what I’m doing. I stutter, grope for words, mumble, etc. I can write detailed, articulate code documentation, explaining it, but I can’t verbalize it. I sound like a blithering idiot.

I would not do well, with pair programming.

I also get pissed when I’m yanked from that state. I get quite cranky. Lasts for about half an hour, afterwards.

That kind of thing makes it hard to play well with others. When I was a manager, I didn’t have that issue.
What? Rates matter. A lot. If you are in some corp fin job and you discount projects at 12%...fine. But saying they don't matter for equity valuations doesn't make sense. The evidence, not just lately, but throughout the last 100 years is overwhelmingly that they matter.

For reasons I wont go into here, I built a system with a similar approach 10 years ago. The system was horizontally scaleable. There was no database tier, instead each server had a replica of the database locally which were used for reads. The servers discovered each other other and nominated one server as the master, which writes were sent to. Replication was done by having the master sending the DML queries to a writer process on each server. When a new server joined the cluster it was sent a copy of the entire database and a stream of queries for it to catch up before it joined the cluster. There were other tricks to make sure reads from replicas waited until the replicas were sufficiently up to date.

It worked fine as the system was read heavy and write light. SQLite serialises writes so does not perform well with multiple writers, particularly if the write transactions are long running. Reads were blazingly fast as there was no round-trips across the network to a separate database tier. The plan for dealing with performance problems if/when they arrived was to shard the servers into groups of customers.

I moved on and the next developer ripped it out and replaced it with Postgres because it was such an oddball system. I came back six months later to fix the mess as the new developer messed up transactions with the new database code.

Technically using SQLite with replication tacked on works fine. Superficially it is all the same because it is SQL. However the performance characteristics are very different from a conventional Multi Version Concurrency Control databases such as Postgres.

This is where the problem lies with this kind of database - developers seeing SQL and assuming they can develop exactly the same way they would with other SQL databases. That said I love approaches that get away from the database architectures of last century.
Or the wrong ones. Cities like New York and London are the worst places to date - unless you find yourself in the top percentage of 'attractiveness' which we can loosely define according to contemporary city standards - physical, financial and personality better be strong, and you better be young.

I'm still bitter that we could've had SQLite in the browser as WebSQL but it got killed off in favor of IndexedDB which is terrible.

The code is in the public domain. The spec could just say to include SQLite.

IndexedDB implementations all use SQLite under the hood anyway, AFAIK.

Fingerprint authentication for unlocking personal devices seems alright to me. It works well on my laptop, as an alternative to typing the password, and makes it easier to stomach my rather aggressive auto-locking settings. (And with fprint on Linux, you get quite a bit of control over exactly what and how fingerprint based auth works, using PAM.)

Facial recognition, on the other hand, is annoying as hell. Apple Face ID is seemingly one of the better systems, but I’ve used Windows Hello as well as Face ID and I can honestly say I hate both of them. They’re both solutions to problems I really do not believe anyone had. Like a lot of other “magic” security primitives such as passive proximity keys, facial authentication systems fail to validate intent. Fingerprint sensors are also a lot worse than passwords in this regard, but facial recognition authentication is absolutely ridiculous. I can accidentally unlock Windows Hello from halfway across the room. If my cat is about to walk on my laptop, I would like to lock the screen, but if Windows Hello is enabled, tough shit, as the moment keys are pressed it will try to find your face and unlock. At least Face ID tries very hard to ensure you’re looking at the device; if Windows Hello is trying to ensure that, it is not doing a good job. There’s hardly anything I can do to prevent the laptop from accidentally unlocking.

Fingerprint authentication is still not ideal, so I think it should be limited to things that don’t need as much physical security. I think that it’s fair to say sudo prompts and screen unlocking are decent candidates. Even in the case where you have very advanced adversaries, at a certain point I wager the weakest link is going to be something else, and you are going to want to try to keep them physically separated from the machines if you want to stand a chance.

Then again, I’m not a security person.

That said, I think anti-virus is still a bigger meme.
So it’s a bit scary that I could press edit and appear to be able to edit the Feather Wiki landing page? Would it have required auth if I tried to save changes? If not can you put basic http auth in front? I suppose the idea is to just use it locally and then publish any resultant http page and/or updates/edits to a static host?

It seems like maybe the solution to that problem is to have some legitimate recipes, rather than trying to ban homemade food?
I’m not saying to ignore the loss, I am saying to limit people’s ability to use the government to protect their asset value by mandating what others do with their property. In my view too many municipalities treat decrease in asset values like a kind of pollution that leaks from your property into the surrounding spaces, and use that logic to force certain uses of people’a property. But unlike physical pollutants that leave properties, the decrease in property value is often a nebulous and subjective force, and enforcement boils down to enforcing conformity with the majority. The harms are nebulously defined and the slope is so slippery that you have neighborhoods where they have slid all the way into mandating color pallets and lawn type and length.

This kind of system doesn’t let people do something as simple as postpone repairs until they can get favorable financing, and ends up a tax on the poor or different to protect an asset for the majority landowners in my view.
Let me ask you, why were you concerned about your neighbors parking in their yard or not weeding their lawn?
That would be awful for power consumption and only works well if everyone compiles everything from source. Otherwise every binary is awful performance for almost everyone.
Depends. The HOA is a contract with your neighbors, so if they agree the HOA can be ended. See a lawyer, state law and your contract for details that very much matter and are different fof each.

A few houses ago my hoa could be ended automatically after 2018. I moved out just after then, but the only limit I remember was no more than five cows were allowed, I didn't find that a problem.
That's a relatively recent phenomenon in human history as well. What about the middle ages? What about the bronze age?
Wat. All but the cheapest crappiest mice have been using 1ms polling for the last decade. IIRC USB 3.0 is effectively 8kHz and doesn’t use polling which does make a difference for real-time video (webcam and capture card) latency and lip syncing.

But nobody cares about USB. A lot of applications do 10000 reads from your SSD in series (qd1) and that’s where latency matters. I agree that it should be on the order of 1us. And since most people only have one SSD, chipset latency is not that important.
That is cool.

I was thinking pattern matching sounds and then matching a pattern through logical association. IE same pattern at two different spots implies the car is at those same two spots.

But this is literally viewing the world through sound pressure levels. It doesn't care what the noise is, as long as it's loud. Which fits the use case here.

>>tether trades readily on an exchange is a major factor for it being convertible

... for now

We've seen lots of the crypto exchanges fail to make exchanges for hours to days when things get hot

Official stock exchanges have a standard practice of halting trading in stocks when unusual events happen. Sometimes this cools the market and things get back to normal, sometimes the thing has gone to zero when

If Tether crashes to $0.01, I'd be a bit surprised if it didn't stop being convertible for a significant time.

Sorry, but I'm not even sure what you're asking.
Disregard? Absolutely. Involuntarily involve them? Never.
Inflation is still going up because there’s a war between Ukraine and Russia. This has caused food and energy prices to skyrocket. The Fed can raise rates to 69% but it’s still not going to cause (say) the grain in Odessa to make its way to people’s stomachs.

Is a certain amount of rate increase justified? Yes, you don’t want an inflation spiral to develop. Beyond that, we are going to have to live with a certain amount of inflation until the situation in Eastern Europe normalizes and the supply chains normalize after COVID. And the interest rates should be kept on the lower side so that companies can still finance solutions to this mess.
Im an outsider to data center operations, but I work in machine learning. My suspicion is that this will be driven by either the next-Gen or next-to-next-Gen GPUs/AI accelerators. It’s the curse of the field that no matter how fast the chips get, and how much memory bandwidth they get, it’s never fast enough for the state-of-the-art research. So it’s probably naturally going to require some form of liquid cooling as the chips continue to get bigger and faster. And companies that build their business around machine learning will need to adopt these deployment patterns to stay on the cutting edge.
Absolutely. This is the wrong direction. Lots of power to run the chips, then lots more power to cool them. The ARM server market is eventually going to eat them alive if they can't rearchitect and seriously up their performance/watt game. I hope this is just an intermediate term solution.
Makes sense to have the Markdown equivalent but for UI. (In fact that wouldn't be a bad idea.)
Oh god that reminds me. Our company did this but for a whole project.

It was back when a bunch of social networks released app platforms after Facebook's success. When hi5 released their platform, rather than refactoring for our codebase to work on multiple social networks... someone ended up just copying the whole fucking thing and did a global rename of Facebook to Hi5.

For the 3rd social network I refactored our Facebook codebase to work with as many as we wanted. But we never reigned in Hi5, because it had diverged dramatically since the copy. So we basically had two completely separate codebases: one that handled hi5, and one that had been refactored to be able to handle everything else (facebook, bebo, myspace, etc)

Does an older device still occupy a whole lane right to the processor though? Or does the motherboard/chipset multiplex that onto a shared 5.0 lane into the CPU?

What I mean is that being able to host anywhere is a constraint you're adding, not one that's in the original article.

> the inflammation from the Omega 6 is what probably caused his ankylosing spondylitis and triple bypass.

How confident are you that this is the case? This is now the second story I've read of someone on a keto/carnivore diet having to get a triple bypass after eating too much red meat. Was his omega-3/omega-6 ratio really that much worse than that of the average person not on such a diet (not that that's a great standard to compare against, but the average person is also not getting triple bypass surgery)?

I know there's a lot of evidence against the notion that saturated fats cause CVD, and omega-6s and inflammation is a compelling case, but I'm worried we're missing something.

When you press save once, the changes are applied in your browser. When you press the save button on the top your browser is triggered to let you save the edited HTML to your computer.

Afaict, the edit and save is local and not sent to the server. So to persist changes and make them visible to others you’d need to then upload the edited HTML file to the server, using for example scp or sftp, or whatever method is used for deploying changes.

So for example you could put this in a git repo and have GitHub or Cloudflare Pages host it, and after you make an edit to a page from the browser you’d put the edited HTML file for the page in the git repo, commit that and push it to GitHub or whatever.

Seems pretty useful actually.
A short documentary film of the 1971 demolition of the Richard Neutra-designed home of director Josef von Sternberg and Marlene Dietrich. Built in Northridge, CA in 1935, it was later purchased by Ayn Rand in the 1940s.

The unusual one bedroom home was relatively small but had some ostentatious features like three garage bays for cars, (one tall enough to accommodate a Duesenberg), and servants quarters.

The film was shot on Super-8 by Andy Moore, then 15, who lived across the street.

My personal rule of thumb is that if someone is making gurglings about X possibly happening in the future, I will probably take some steps to make it easier if X does indeed happen in the future. If it's something I think is pretty much universal, I don't bother. "What if X" is not good enough, you also need "they were talking about/speculating about X". This rule tends to serve me well.
Java is actually a great language. I think the Spring culture ruins it. As you say most of the abstractions are out of control.

Nice, I wouldn't have thought that simple approach "download/overwrite" of self-modifying page served via file:/// protocol would be this viable and, after all, even intuitive.

For similar purpose (not-so-important semi-ephemeral notes and doodles) I usually (ab)use dataURI documents with "#hash" part and rely on browsers' history/bookmarks persistence, so both "editor engine" and "data" remains in URL and does not need to leave the browser.

Example: simple "HTML sandbox" with live preview under 1kb [1].

(Hypothetically they could be even synced to browser profiles, but. Also there presumably is a size limit for URI (or perhaps bookmarks database) but I haven't ran into it yet.)

Most probably not advisable for larger apps (even tiny feather wiki) but for it's super small purposes it has a nice advantage of "un-hosted" application/data can be passed around with clipboard. (Naturally, the "engine" works from a file as well [2], but the persistence remans in the "#hash" nevertheless.)

Based on what I was hearing on some morning podcasts the other day (sorry, no citation handy, but it was something mainstream...NPR perhaps), the smallpox vaccine was something like 75% effective against monkeypox. Which makes it MORE effective than the MMR is against things like mumps (which my wife found out the hard way a couple years back has only a roughly 70% efficacy).
Can you try to make this into a point?

It sounds like you are saying an autism diagnosis does not help people, and also possibly that people who are not "actually autistic" are being labeled that way when they are actually socially awkward/nerdy/??. I don't actually know how being labeled autistic is hurting people... I see a few people who it really helps and many whose results seem unaffected by the label, for better or worse.

Source: colleagues on the spectrum (1 good result, 1 getting by, others no + or -), and a friend's child on the spectrum has absolutely, unquestionably benefitted.

I'm going to infer you have some anecdote about this... it's the semi-anonymous internet maybe it would be productive to share it so people see the other side.

One thing I learned from the M1 transition is that people will do it if someone tells them to. I bought a Mac this weekend to do exactly that; lots of users complaining about lack of M1 support. Time to add it (in a way that I can test). I have no choice.
The issue is that when you are trying to understand/modify someone else code it always comes down to confusing implementation details rather than abstract architecture on top of them.
