I think it's worth it if you calibrate your goals correctly.

Personally I have a github.io that I tried to make presentable. I have it on my CV, but actually my main goal is to do little projects I like, not necessarily things I think will impress employers.

Writing things in a blog as opposed to just having personal notes I think brings more discipline and helps you improve presentation/writing skills. You'll always take something more seriously if you do it as if somebody else has to understand it and maybe use it.
> If we are to consider this definition of privilege to be acceptable, then simulated brains are pretty much the most privileged a human can be.

Not so fast. A simulated brain may simulate a brain that lacks the "innate desire to learn". Then you'd have a fast brain that is still "underprivileged", by this definition.
Writing a second draft is the simplest thing that might work.

Or maybe starting with an outline.

But in general the practice of rewriting the same thing differently is what serious writing is.

>I'd urge everyone to disregard the learned helplessness narrative and try to make a healthy lifestyle work

That requires a hell of a lot of time and effort investment. Time and effort are a finite resource. It's probably better for society as a whole if we find a way to be healthy that doesn't involve all of us to actively work at it every day. That's like expecting people to grind their own coffee and hand wash their clothes. Sure it's theoretically possible but in aggregate less coffee will be drunk and less clothes will be washed.

i have a daughter(11)

* i check her feed (together with her) on youtube/instagram once a week for toxic videos, and teach her how to manipulate her feed; either she modifies the feed or the feed modifies her

* i encourage her to pay for the apps/games, for skins, battle passes etc, and if there is 'pay to remove ads' functionality i always pay

* i have a good pi-hole setup at home blocking malware/adult sites etc

* i allow her to watch 3-4 hours of youtube per day (but long videos, longer than 10 minutes per video)

* i allow and encourage her to play video games as much as she wants, but real games, like spiderman on ps4 or fortnite, no lootbox shit

* i dont allow tiktok and youtube shorts for more than 10 minutes per day (enough so she links sent by her friends)

* apps and purchases are with approval, but for each app she has to tell me how this app is making money out of her, or for each purchase she has to explain how is the thing she is buying valuable to her

"Weakness" is a matter of dimensionalities and nuance and isn't a binary state of any sort. For example, many men with horrible self esteem issues make up for their inferiority complexes through exercise and then project onto those that those who don't work out must be like their former selves. Being able to withstand bullies including from social media pressures and peer groups is a double edged sword - there's a fine line between being completely obtuse or bigoted and having a backbone about one's principles.

We can perhaps use more descriptive or objective terms such as resilience and still find differences and subtleties. Are military veterans with several tours of duty that are going through PTSD "less resilient" than the civilian population? Are people that are bullied for their sexual orientation or their country of origin for decades resilient, as well? The way I see it we're all vulnerable somehow and find different means to try to protect ourselves mentally and physically, most of the time not very productive nor efficacious due to our own self deficiencies in the first place.

As such, to me the "weak" are those that cannot join coalitions of others readily and find ways to contribute in some manner or refuse. We are social animals and have survived for better or worse through making up for our own individual deficits with the strengths of others. As such the anti-social (doesn't matter what the political orientation is BTW) are the weak in society, and in that respect I think we can both agree that there is a trend toward weakness globally at least among economically developed societies.
There is no herd immunity in play with anyone vaccinated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Please remove that from your vocabulary when referencing the vaccines for one reason: they do not provide immunity and never have. Hence there is not and will not be herd immunity from vaccinations alone.

Please, spreading this nonsense does not help anyone. You are lying which makes you look bad (or if you think it’s actually true, it makes you look stupid).
iina is great -- wish it had cross platform support because it is one of the best mpv implementations I have seen.
One thing I don't see talked about much is the move to remote. I think it could potentially enable fraud. Far easier to wall people off and control what the information they receive.

I don't think it should effect to move to remote, which I'm in favor of. I just thought it was an interesting idea. Scams often rely on this kind of thing anyway. You have to control what various people see, and it might be a little easier with less people getting together to talk / gossip.
The difference is ideological. They brought slaves from Africa because they believed it was the best way to make money, not because they had any kind of belief about what race should be where.

Both of the ideologies and outcomes are heinous, but if you want to understand history and stop it from repeating you have to look deeper than lumping all evil together.
Probably not a "cut corner," as that's unfortunately normal[0][1] (people have been trying to change it for decades now).

Happily Pfizer and Biontech have had extensive clinical trials ongoing for pregnant women since February 2021[2][3], and there was a preliminary analysis done across 35,691 recipients that had good findings[4]. It's something that regulators have paid a lot of attention to, with tens of thousands enrolled in the V-safe COVID-19 Vaccine Pregnancy Registry.[5]

If you already have a preactivated new SIM card on hand, sure.

Its the activation process that can take a while, not downloading the eSIM (for what its worth, my most recent SIM / eSIM activations were comparable and took only a few minutes).
Snapchat is finally coming to the web after more than a decade as a mobile app
That doesn't seem fine!
I had an idea for something like this, although it would require a bit more up-front effort. Basically, you provide a list of important people, interests, and events in your life, and then the prompts are generated dynamically based on that information. So instead of a prompt like "Write about a time in your life when you struggled with a choice and made the right one," you'd get something like "If you had to take a vacation with [Tom], where would you go and what would you do?" or "When's the last time you went [kayaking]? Do you think [Jake] would want to go with you?" etc.

I'm aware of an even more efficient "hack" of the rules as different versions of this type of story are a mainstay of certain types of business courses where they want to try and teach a lesson of working together, delegation, cooperation, task specialization, etc.

The most efficient way to move a stack of paper to a goal isn't to take each piece and do something to it (crumple/fold) but to just leave it together and heave the entire ream of paper.

Note: this also frustrates the folks putting on the activity.

What does an algorithm look like? (serious question)

There are some systems which try to make it just a straight-forward description --- Drakon Editor comes to mind.

Scalability is an issue --- but screens are larger these days, so may be more workable (I've managed some decently complex models in BlockSCAD:

https://www.blockscad3d.com/community/projects/1385418

A further issue is that if one uses modules/functions, one ends up w/ just a textual description of the algorithm trapped w/in a series of connected/nested blocks.

I prefer to work this way, but I've crashed-burned hard on installation/usage w/ more tools than I can recall off the top of my head (pyFlow, Ryven, GraphSCAD, clikscad, &c.) --- currently I'm just using BlockSCAD and pasting the code into OpenSCAD/RapCAD. I hope that Nodezator (node programming tool done w/ pygame) will work out, but I'm waiting for it to have branches and loops.
Cmon.. logically it has to be more than just three right? "Cooling efficiency" sometimes come in unit of W/°C difference, so I'd imagine that a few more degrees would be a huge deal.

Yeah. Liberal arts were distinguished from the "trades" (which today probably includes engineering). Liberal arts were for people who didn't have to work for a living. If you get that degree, but you need a job when you get out, then maybe that wasn't the right degree choice...

License (AGPLv3) doesn't make sense for a video player. It only scares any use in corporate environment.
I would assume because the things with the greatest heat have typically had such a requirement for active cooling that minor optimization wouldn't have helped much and for everything else you really didn't worry about (though my motherboard now has heat-pipes across the VRMs and my RAM and northbridge have got big old heat spreaders).
I'm sure you'd have no trouble getting people to let you pay for their solar install and buy them an electric vehicle.
> Almost anything I read that's titled as "X is being removed, and why that's a Good Thing" feels like propaganda. It's as though the article is written to convince me that it's a good thing, rather then to inform me about these new options that I would actually want.

Exactly. If it was actually a good thing, they probably wouldn't have to tell you it was. It would be obvious and everyone would be happy.

IMHO, most people are happy with improvements and will happily accept them. However many "improvements" are actually regressions or have significant regressive component. For instance: "Rejoice! We replaced your outdated legacy system with a re-engineered system that doesn't work and has half the features!" or "Rejoice! We've shifted some burden off of us and onto you!"
I really like mpv and use it on my laptop, but I thought the package in the raspberry pi os repo didn't support acceleration? Which is why I've been using vlc for videos (e.g. hevc 4k videos).
If it's a tool I'd love to know, too. However it very well might just be a hand-crafted vector.
Two things:

I remember a post on reddit about someone who grew up in the USSR/Russia before moving to America and they laid out how tuning out from media leads to not caring and eventually some authoritarian-style of government and how they were afraid this was slowly happening in America now.

Next thing is for most of the news it is all bad and I think we need to find some kind of shift. While the news should be accurate and reported, what about news about how many lives were saved last night in the ER? Or how some local non-profit feeds and provides goods for the homeless. The 24-hour news cycle with everything being bad has really curbed are ability to have empathy with other humans from anywhere.

I would find it hard to evaluate these answers without the inclusion of "upon what workstations" and "deployed via what" because if the startup requires developers to use Windows and deploys to Azure (or such), this isn't as newsworthy as heterogeneous workstations deploying on Bottlerocket/Container Optimized OS
It’s possible that on construction of RER that previously separated pneumatic lines were then routed through the RER tunnels as well, no?

That job is arguably nicer than e.g. flipping the burgers or cleaning the kitchen at that McDonald's. The service industry has a lot of hidden jobs performed by hard working people that just aren't very glamorous. We're in a market with very low unemployment rate: people can choose what they do within some reason. Lots of people are choosing to take gigs like this rather than work as a dishwasher, or waiting tables. IMHO that's basically people voting with their feet.

Of course things in the US are a bit worse than in Europe. People have to work multiple jobs there just to pay the rent. That shitty job at McDonald's is not enough. So you have fully employed people that do that that find it necessary to take some gigs on top of that because their regular job just isn't paying enough. That's not the gig economy that caused that; something else was broken there long before that became a thing. Like the lack of a minimum wage, the erosion of the middle class, etc. Things looked pretty grim the last time I visited San Francisco. Abject poverty right next to extreme wealth. Whatever caused that, it's not Uber or delivery companies.

Here in Berlin, Uber drivers are just normal taxi drivers. There are a lot of people on bikes delivering stuff and they seem to be OK with that. Seems popular with mostly younger people. And of course Amazon Prime and other deliveries are a huge thing here as well.

The gig economy is definitely putting some pressure on the social insurance system and some countries are better than others at forcing these companies to treat their people fairly. Unions certainly don't like it that there people earning money outside of sectors they control. But overall, I think it's a system that could work longer term and not just a fad. We just need to figure out how to get these people insured against the inevitabilities in life: sickness, retirement, and unemployment.
Big old SoC really do seem like the future. CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard controllers, throw all those different problem onto a big old die and optimize for cooling that guy.
I would have loved to see how the world’s technology would be like if electricity was discovered much later and there had been no major wars. Probably closer to Steampunk/Gearpunk.
If it was seen as a high priority, we could do it. They put people on the moon in the 60’s in less time than people claim it’d take to build a power plant today.

Ingredients for a quick transition to nuclear:

1. Gov’t must be willing to ignore NIMBY/BANANA people
2. Accept slightly more risk than zero
3. Aggressively poach people from countries with healthy nuclear programs and put them in charge of ours.
Broad consumer sentiment lags reality by a decade or thereabouts. We're seeing people wise up to changes that happened in the journalism profession in the late '00s and early 10s.
I'm sorry but I couldn't disagree more.

We engineers can be really fast at refusing unrealistic estimates imposed by other departments, especially when we take them for loosers. But we are not very good at estimating as well, and we are often overoptmistic. I don't track my times too fanatically, but I do it +/- regularly and, still, I err way more than I think it's reasonable considering the data I have.

I don't think you are going to get much reliability on simply asking 1 question to an engineer, especially if you approach the matter with such overconfidence.

You might argue that an engineer would be more conservative and would avoid many mistakes by replying "no, it isn't feasible" more often than not, but then they would be wasting a lot of opportunities by discarding feasible projects, ruining the company as well, only in a different way
I was excited when my bank first announced Open Banking; I could use it to replace my embarrassing, then Selenium based mess with something more sane. Then Open Banking went into production and I learned I need a business entity and a whole host of other bs to make use of it without relying on some third party bottom feeder.

I don't know what I was thinking. This is Europe and there is very little chance a good idea won't be ruined with some sort of bureaucracy, licensing requirements, utterly vapid credentialism, or as a last resort, some other form of obtuse gatekeeping.
Data Impact Analysis Using Social Metadata
Why would you assume this ?
Using -O3 is a very sensible way to use vector instructions, in practice.

It’s not universally good. It’s just that if you take naïve C code that does bulk operations on arrays, and compile it at -O3, you might get a very nice improvement from the auto-vectorizer. With some additional restrict keyword annotations, you can sometimes improve the performance significantly.

Then there are non-standard tricks you can use, like __builtin_assume_aligned().

This is something of an arcane art. Sometimes it just doesn’t work at all, sometimes it’s not obvious how to write your code so that the autovectorizer can work well, and getting the autovectorizer to work requires enabling various code transformation passes that will often make code worse. However, it’s still worth using, because when your function does autovectorize well, it saves you a ton of work trying to vectorize it manually.

The fee is in there, it's just very small. That's the point.

Yeah I don't understand why a dedicated fan and other basic CPU cooling techniques don't apply here. It's probably because the DRAM industry doesn't want to change form factors and standards to a substantial degree...

... probably because they do the bare minimum to keep up with CPU design and routinely get busted for cartel price fixing and predatory pricing.
I guess an about page is a great idea, I'll create one that answers the questions here later.

My setup for the questions is the following - I have a questions file with one question per line and a cron job that takes the top one, builds the static page by including it in the template and then appends the question in the end.

That way I can always add more questions but if I run out of questions it would just start from the beginning.

Do you have an idea on how to save to a git repo from a static page? I don't want to make it any more complicated than it needs to be.
Right, absolutely. The conditions are also damn stressful, unless you're lucky enough to be at a school with amazing admin and co-workers and parents. That almost never happens.

Then the ones who are good but getting stressed out eventually start looking around and realize they could match their current comp assistant-managing a gas station, and that some of the extra things they've taken on give them experience that lets them gun for non-education jobs with way higher pay... and it's only a matter of time before they leave.
> The researchers gave the virtual robots 62 commands. When researchers asked robots to identify blocks as “homemakers,” Black and Latina women were more commonly selected than White men, the study showed. When identifying “criminals,” Black men were chosen 9 percent more often than White men. In actuality, scientists said, the robots should not have responded, because they were not given information to make that judgment.

I wonder if they implemented this behavior or if they're hoping their model became sentient and would decide to just not output a result based on human social norms.

Most countries have incredibly sub-par banking systems that work against the consumer. The UK is really on another level, though many countries are catching up.

If you won, say, 5 wars (which - yes - will put you in a small minority, because some countries had to be losing these wars, and obviously the losers outnumber you), then you can afford losing another 2.

But if you only ever lost 1 or 2 wars, you're no longer on the world map.
I'm not sure why you'd insist on an eccentric interpretation of "strong" in the context of this quote. It's a common English word that means, "having the power to move heavy weights or perform other physically demanding tasks" or "able to withstand great force or pressure."

Synonyms include: powerful, muscular, sturdy, robust, tough, rugged, stalwart, hardy.

In ordinary English these terms can be applied to mental as well as physical fortitude.

The meaning here is not opaque.
