So the alcohol is part of the story but far from the end of it. Alcohol related accidents only made up about 1/3 of the deadly accidents in the US [0]. The NHTSA identifies a few different causes of car accidents including distracted driving and drug or alcohol related accidents [1]. Also noteworthy is that Marijuana seems to cause the same issues as alcohol although the studies are a little less detailed[2]. I couldn't find long term studies on the topic but I suspect that distracted driving has gone up in the past few years since smart phones have become more popular. Distracted drivers killed about 3,000 people in 2020 [3].

What's interesting is that insurance companies seem to measure bad driving using a few different metrics including deaths per miles traveled [5]. Single vehicle crashes were also very dangerous in the rural states like Wyoming (deer are a serious problem), but for some reason Rhode Island tied with Montana at 70% of all accidents being single vehicle accidents[6].

I also couldn't find an annual figure for people disabled in car accidents, but a 2004 study found that about 1.2 million Americans live with permanent injuries from car accidents and about 41% of them are unable to work [6].

Apple still can't figure out which formats to use. I've seen Photos compress photos to something like 256x256 PNG when sending via AirDrop. And this depends very randomly on the versions of OSes on your phone and your laptop and on the year of your phone and laptop.
The crazy thing is how well libimobiledevice + AFC (1) work on Linux. All I do is plug in my iPhone and open Nautilus (2) to see a list of my apps (3) that support file sharing.

The phone shows up as a camera with photos, as well.

Like $400 "Logitech Z-5500 THX-Certified 5.1 Digital Surround Sound Speaker System" released 20 years ago?

"The Z-5500 will consistently give you great sound on a daily basis and was tested by THX experts as well as our audio team."

"The Logitech Z-5500 is the best all-around PC speaker system we have used to date."

"Incredible sound and tons of amplifier power (505-watt (RMS), total peak power output of 1010 watts)"

All from a box fused at 120V 3A :-) and with 10% THD when even a low end home stereo systems were usually 0.1-0.9% THD. You open it up and find four dual channel TDA7294 powered with 2x26V giving maximum of ~30W per "62-69W" channel and ~60W for "188 watts" subwoofer. Logitech was always good at scamming unwashed masses and unsophisticated computer reviewers unable to read labels and small print.
My intuition is that PoS isn't economically stable model. In PoW, the miners had interest in stability of prices because their costs were anchored in reality by the mining rig. So once you had expended the real life cost of a mining rig, your interests were to only increase the price of the coin. Whales might have wanted to manipulate prices but they ran the risk of bankrupting miners (many of them were miners).

Now the incentives are perverse. Since prices aren't anchored by real world expenses, the incentives of whale stakers is extreme price volatility, so that they can increase the share of the network they hold. They are free to pump and dump as they please even more than before because there's nothing anchoring them to reality. They get to set the price alone.
A bit from everything: the hashtable leverages the CPU caches and the cachelines, it also uses SIMD instructions to search very quickly the hash, once a bucket in the hashtable is identified, only the relevant bits in the hash are compared, on top of this there is the custom memory allocator, fibers and io_uring is of great help network side, etc.

The multithreading helps to scale the access to the hashtable vertically almost linearly.

The use of the fibers make everything easier because cachegrand doesn't have multiple threads running on the same core fighting for the same resources.

On top of this (and thanks to not having multiple threads fighting for the same resources on the same core), the hashtable uses user-space spinlocks (that are "fake" spinlocks as they can't prevent the kernel to preemept, although there are ways to do it) and the "contention" is spread all across the hashtable.
The spinlocks though are only used to change the hashtable (with UPSERT, DEL and Read-Modify-Write operations), they are not required to read from it.

Let's say that thread A, B and C, want to access key1, key2 and key3.

If you an hashtable of 10000 buckets, cachegrand will basically split it in chunks of 14 elements and each chunk will have its own localized lock, so there will be about 714 different possible locks.
In general, unless you are writing always to the same key, the writes will be distribuited across all the hashtable hitting different locks so it will not be necessary to wait.

Of course I considered different approches a few years ago when I was researching the hashtable including sharding it across multiple threads and let a thread own a slice of it but decided not to go down this way because instead of having 714 locks, like the case above, you will need to use queues to pass messages between the threads (a bit like Scala does) and "focus" the contention on limited number of memory areas (e.g. if you have 4 threads you will have 4 queues and focus the contention on these 4 queues which is bad).
Of course you can use atomic operations to push and pop elements from these queues but it will not be able to scale up as the contention will make this system tremble under heavy load.

cachegrand, thanks to the localized spinlocks, can hit 60 million GET and 27 million SET per second on hardware used for benchmarking.
I mean META stock is down 60% YoY and the revenue is the same. Hard to argue what is "manipulated" vs. perception
Definitely worth reading Chouinard’s book “Let My People Go Surfing,” in which he discusses this very question.
This is mostly about further vaccination. The FAQ answers why to there is a need to be revaccinated. Not sure if it’s bad wording or if they really mean that completely unvaccinated under 50 should not get a first pair of shots.

One should understand that in many countries with large public healthcare there is a big difference between who’s part of the vaccination campaigns and who’s actually allowed to get it, but not targeted by a campaign. I read this as the campaigns this fall focusing on boosting the over 50 and healthy under 50 need to get it themselves (be it first or subsequent shots).
It is definitely not letting baby cry for extended periods.

The naming / branding of sleep training methods in parenting is abysmal. “Cry it out” is also called “extinction.”

Like who came up with this? It’s terrible, and totally reasonable to reject the notion based on the naming alone.

That said the right way works. Even if you know all of the technique and carry it forward faithfully it can take a lot of bravery to go ahead with it.

Anyone on the fence with this I get it. There’s a subreddit, /r/sleeptrain where you will find others in your spot.

I'm pretty sure that while VW made all the headlines, subsequent research found that almost all manufacturers of Diesel cars, including Chrysler & GM, were up to the same shenanigans.
This happened to me and at least one other intern in the late 90’s at Cisco. The other intern told them after 1 week and was told to just keep it. I waited five weeks (a little more than $4K) and then told them. They never got back to me but stopped sending me checks. I left it in my bank account from August until the following May (paid my taxes). When I graduated, I used that money on a nice trip to Europe.
> The argument that 'affluence' or 'quality of life' is a zero-sum game with nature seems to have become popular recently.

Land, energy, and other finite resources are zero sum.

Unless the amount of land required to have a good quality of life exponentially decreases then the following holds.

If your system permits me to increase the amount of land I control in direct proportion to the amount of land I control (ie. it is possible to profit).

I have to look into that. I was not aware of it.

But as far as I can tell there are no image-related apps in that list you shared in your number 2 link?
Yeah, I had the same question. Maybe that is just such a small demographic there that they didn't think it needed to be explicitly clarified.

It does clearly say that for <18, primary series vaccines stopped in July of this year. So it doesn't seem out of the question that they would stop them for adults too. My guess is that the relatively few people people there who never got one and now changed their minds could still get one from a doctor, but will not be target by whatever clinics they are using for fall re-vaccinations.
There are various feature maps based on the same OpenStreetMap data. I don't know any of the ones you mentioned off the top of my head, though I seem to remember a project called open infra map that might display gas pipelines (they're not that well mapped, to be fair) as well as a map for nautical use.

Very anecdotal but the people I know who got long COVID were all doing perfectly fine until after they got COVID. So, at least the 2+ years before they got omicron didn't cause them to be depressed. They also are not affected by the economic situation and have stable jobs. None of them have any material differences in circumstances compared to before they had COVID and all of them had COVID late in the omicron wave after being fully vaccinated.

Of course, that's purely anecdotal but it does hint that there must be something else happening.

Quite an adventure, I always assumed getting between SEA and the Middle East to be difficult, particularly Myanmar<->India but looking at the map the gaps are quite small and it seems like a better way, especially these days.

I did the long way round via Cambodia/Vietnam rather than through Thailand/Sichuan province, the map says there is a train now between Hanoi and Nanning but when I went it was 10+ hours on a bus including a lengthy golf buggy ride between no-mans-land with a 18yo kid armed with an AK at the Chinese border.

The bus trip between Phnom Penh and HCMC was utterly terrifying, we spent a quarter of the trip on the wrong side of the road with the driver holding down the horn to make oncoming traffic move out of the way, bigger vehicle and all that. There was an American couple trying to pay the driver to slow down but that just made him more angry. Really makes you appreciate a good sleeper train or plane.
People stopped taking special precautions for COVID six months ago in most of Europe. As soon as most of the population was vaccinated, it was pretty much over.

Also, in my country, a lot of people got Omicron - and I mean a lot - realised it didn’t do much and pretty much stoped worrying.
Again, I think you just have your own definition for long Covid. The CDC does not share your definition: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects/...
It's not a made up number any more than a stock's market cap. Is Apple really worth $2.5 trillion? I dunno, seems like a lot, but the market determines what things are worth.

But for the record, there's more than $100B in USD-backed (cash and equivalents-backed) assets on the Ethereum blockchain. Plus billions of dollars worth of on-chain organizations and applications that exist (Uniswap, Aave, Compound, GMX, etc). More than $28B moves on chain every day: https://money-movers.info/
Exporting is purposefully made impossible in many implementations of Passkeys (aka Webauthn authenticators) other than Apple's. For example, Yubikeys are designed so private keys can never leave the authenticator [0]. Enabling the export of private keys from an authenticator greatly increases the attack surface of an authenticator.

This is a long-standing security/usability tradeoff in the Webauthn spec. Various solutions have been proposed, but as far as I know most of them are still just drafts, e.g. [1]. The best practice has been and, as far as I know, continues to be to register multiple authenticators, e.g. a primary and a backup authenticator. This practice has a variety of benefits:

1. Avoids lockout if an authenticator is lost.

2. If you use multiple authenticators from different vendors (e.g. Yubico and Google) you:

1. Avoid vendor lock-in

2. Can rapidly respond in case a security vulnerability is discovered in one of your authenticators, as has occurred for both Yubico [2] and Google [3].

One could use Apple's Passkeys as one's day-to-day "personal" authenticator, and use an authenticator from a different vendor (e.g. Yubico Yubikey or Google Titan Security Key) as their backup key. I don't see how Apple's implementation increases the risk of lock-in beyond that of any of the other major Webauthn authenticator providers.

No, I felt healthy at that time. I had covid 6 months earlier and it was quite awful.
Thank you. That's the problem with butt-hurt crybabies who reject LEARNING. And I was polite, and I agreed with the sentiment! What kind of asshole rejects THAT?

People's excuse for being lazy illiterates online is, "FU grammer nazi its only online so hu carez"

EVERYONE should care. People learn by READING. And where does most reading take place now, sadly? ONLINE. So people propagating ignorance and lashing out against those who promote literacy ARE the problem.

It's sad to see that on a site like this. It indicates decline.
The Ryzen 7000 cores will support AVX512 so soon enough consumers will finally be able to properly benefit from its broad availability.

I/O wait is difficult to model. On an NVME drive over PCIe 5 I doubt you'll find yourself waiting on I/O all that often, especially if you're reading a lot of data. Decompression tools, for example, are often written in such a way to keep the CPU pipeline fed. They're still doing lots of output but while some other core(s) deal(s) with that, the performance optimized core can still crunch numbers.

You're probably not storing hundreds of megabytes of JSON because there are much better formats for such data sets, but text algorithms like these make an impact regardless.

Loading CSV files, for example, can be a huge CPU bottleneck. I've had to deal with CSV datasets of over a gigabyte and all libraries were kind of terrible at it. The data source also had a JSON version that contained fewer fields for some reason, I guess to save space? Either way, an optimized escape code path would've probably saved seconds on each run of the data analysis, and more if the string split was optimized better as well. The data was loaded into memory already beforehand so the only I/O would've been exchanging data between the RAM and the CPU cache.
There are already trained models by the community on these datasets. It's called Waifu Diffusion [1] (not 100% if this is the most popular model).

Labeling Bitcoin mining as "wasteful" is a subjective opinion not an objective truth. Mining does produce something: physics backed security guarantees, which has a value that's determined by a free market (see Bitcoin price/market cap).
few days and a bigger layoff later and yup … no one cares. except the 2 people that closed their patroen accounts.

so now i have to think it’s a reasonable guess that a security team member found out early and even possibly leaked it, even if only internally like to their boss. to contain it the whole team had to suddenly be let go.

that’s beside the point. just a random theory. in this context, the point is that there’s been no follow up on the security layoff, no tie in with the larger story, so yeah no one cared
