I am 100% on board with the repairability, sustainability, and compatibility mission of Framework, but I absolutely hate the way they did these choices of only 4 expansion cards. A Thinkpad T14 Gen 3 [1] is 2mm thicker than the Framework, but has more than enough room for an RJ-45 ethernet port, 2 USB-C ports, 2 USB-A ports, 1 HDMI, a SD card slot, and a smartcard reader (maybe an edge case, but still). That's 8 ports, plus the headphone jack that is built in to both. If I bought a framework, I'd need to carry multiple expansion cards to have those same connectivity options, plus that RJ45 is going to stick out and probably wouldn't be good to put in a bag while attached to the laptop. I see so much hype about Framework, but does this seem wrong to anyone else?

Edit: Since this got a lot of replies, I do get the benefits of an expansion slot. Put one on each side, that should be plenty. But fill the rest of the laptop with the usual set of ports in a motherboard that I can easily repair.

I have NEVER heard of any of this. Can you provide any sources?

I think the 5th has been restricted enough by the courts that it literally only matters if you EXPLICITLY invoke it. (At least this is my understanding of Berghuis v. Thompkins.)

> Buy the grippiest tires you can afford to run

Even race cars running on slicks and weighing 700 kg get better braking by avoiding lockups and using the pads instead. So unless your pads are trash, you better get a proper ABS instead of imagining some magical tire with grip comparable to brake pads.
It doesn’t though. Not here. This statement is purely theoretical in an incentive vacuum. Or maybe just an ideal city repurposing old infrastructure (eg I think in NYC some old rails were converted to trails).

Let’s just consider the work commute/rush hours. The average commute where I live is probably 20 miles. But it has a wide range. I’d guess some double digit percentage commutes more than 50 miles one way. They do this because most of my city and surrounding area has grown in the age of the automobile. It wasn’t optimized for density and short distances. So, the driving commute would have to worsen severely to make someone consider even just the extra time of a bike trip. The weather, danger, physical capabilities, and limitations of a bike are added hurdles.

This is very observably true as when bike lanes are added, nobody uses them.
> The whole notion of tolerance is based on the idea that we might sometimes find it expedient to work alongside people we don't agree with about everything.

There's a difference between disagreeing about something in theory, and acting maliciously in order to exclude someone from your group because they disagree with you. As you said, the whole idea of tolerance boils down to tolerating disagreements. Someone who doesn't tolerate disagreements cannot work with others who do.

It's not agreement that must be enforced in order to have a tolerant society, it's tolerance to disagreement.
I usually wait until the '.1' update. There are always some fixes that need to occur with the first rollout and they do a pretty good job of fixing those in the first update.
I like the more eastern idea that art is mastery of skill and art pieces are more of a byproduct we can observe.

Photoshopping or making an AI make art still takes skill, so it's still art - just in a different category. Putting a robot in a boxing match or an AI in a human car race wouldn't make much sense, but robot vs robot would.
And use a blockchain to track every interaction between passing cars and the sign. Which makes speeding tickets all that easier.
This is genius and if I ever get into this field I am 100% stealing it.
I could actually see myself using revoke mail, but more on desktop than iPhone. I remember back in the pre-wifi era, I would sometimes realize I forgot something in an email and quickly yank you my ethernet cable. I've tried doing the modern version of this (turn of wifi), but I have never been able to get to it in time. Perhaps I should make a function key that turns off wifi (or force-quits Mail?).
For others curious: the iPhone 6S was released in September 2015.
It’s also very easily anonymizable
Given the stark racial inequality we have today due to compounding wealth from centuries of colonialism and slavery, it seems diversity is the bare minimum we could do to address such a burden, and it's a shame that is even considered controversial. Is there an "unoffensive" solution to address this history or should we all just get along and pretend it didn't happen?

I hope Intel can keep up, actual competition has been so great. It does feel like they are really struggling with their process issues though.
You're addressing 18 USC 1956 (a)(1)(A)(i) and (a)(1)(B)(i).

I'm concerned with (a)(1)(B)(ii), which concerns reporting requirements. The kind of financial transactions that Tornado Cash enables are fundamentally incompatible with the US's Federal reporting requirements.

My understanding of the Dutch criminal code (which is not great!) is that their standard is even weaker: it is sufficient to demonstrate mere concealment, not a failure to meet particular reporting requirements.
I'm trying to actually figure out what his points are. None of it is making much sense because he just seems so far off in his own thinking that it's not connected to DEI at all. Still trying to untangle it, but here's my lol as I work through what he's saying.

1.1 When did we start pretending to care about diversity?

He says 1978. What? He's fabricating a story to prop up his flawed belief system.

1.2 Diversity is intellectual?

It's good because it promotes a good education. What? It's far more about that: representation, opportunities for historically marginalized groups, challenging the status quo with ideas of how things should be done, etc.

2.1 The argument for affirmative action

How did we get to affirmative action? Are we back in the 1980's view of how we are supposed to level the playing field?

> by diversifying the racial composition of the student body, we will be indirectly producing intellectual diversity.

Yikes. He's totally missing the point around opportunities, exposure to diverse backgrounds that force you break out of your own stereotypical thinking...

2.2 Idealogy

> The most “woke” people are the ones who aggressively try to silence all dissent and to exclude conservatives, libertarians, etc., from the Academy.

This is a myth. Conservatives tend to get excluded because their whole goal is to exclude others based on their religion, their desire to prevent others from being able to become self actualized (ex against same sex marriage), their support for laws and institutions that maintain the status quo...

2.3 Other countries

> the most diverse people would naturally be those from other countries.

Yikes. He's totally gone off the rails now. Completely misses the point of what DEI is about.

2.4 Other races

> Affirmative action would also apply more strongly to, say, immigrants from Iran, or Korea, or Israel, than to black people (or anyone else) from our own society.

face palm that is just so painful to read. Yes, on the surface it's true, but not what DEI is actually trying to address in the US.

2.5 social class

> rural white people would get more affirmative action points than middle class suburban blacks.

lol this guy doesn't understand racism very well.

2.6 Proportionality

His point: you don't need a proportional representation for diversity.

And...? Not sure why this is even here. Seems pretty obvious.

2.7. Non of this is happening

> Conclusion: By and large, they don’t care about diversity. They’re just lying, in a really transparent way, because they think it gives them a patina of legal legitimacy.

lol my god how did we land here?

3. Conclusion

> “Diversity, inclusion, and equity” refers to ideological uniformity, exclusion, and discrimination.

Sigh. He really has no clue what he's writing about or how this works outside of his world view. I can't shake the feeling how sad I from having slogged through this. I'll chalk this up to being useless noise that's out of touch on what's going on in the larger world.
Yes. A previous boss of mine that I liked once asked me to just add some boilerplate phrases to my performance review to make sure he and I were both aligned with the corporate diversity mandates. Did I change the way I acted simply by adding this text? Nope!
One of the few companies that I have seen to have constantly kept the bar is Amazon. I have seen many other who have just inflated the titles to keep folks happy.
Bikes will be adopted once a solution to the "arrive sweaty after hard pedaling" problem is solved.
Many school districts require "lesson plans" to be submitted for darn near everything, and it is much easier to just recycle the same pile of lesson plans each year than actually create new ones.

I suspect much of the "lesson plan" submission stuff is TPS-level busywork.
5 weeks is not the average though. It is usually around 2 weeks if you are just starting out.
Eh…I think there are 2 real options here.

1. Queue jobs in a database table so you get transaction guarantees.

2. Use a prebuilt system that works with any number of existing alternatives (or one that works with the database too).

I can’t imagine building a queue that meets any slice of my requirements to be able to trust it without heavily leveraging SQL.
Ideally there would be more than one option.
A great question: We do plan to add content about the plugin protocol to this site. While documentation for plugins is light, it is easier to find and to get a working plugin than it is to find the information needed, for example, to write a tool that performs static analysis on a protobuf source files.

The biggest omission in the existing docs was the specification of the language.

Plugins generally require a library for a particular implementation language, so content we write would likely have to focus on a single language and library (at least to start). Whereas a spec is more broadly useful, regardless of what implementation language one is using with Protobuf.
I ended up just buying additional expansion cards and swapping them on demand. I don’t often need HDMI/DP expansion cards so I just keep them around in case I need them, and have extra USB slots for normal days.
Because I have a lot of shows and space isn't that cheap, especially on mobile devices.

Video compression has improved a ton since the introduction of Blu-Ray in 2006. I can cut the average size of a 45 minute TV show from ~8-10GB on the disc to ~2GB with minimal or no perceptible quality loss. This makes a huge difference when I go to load up my iPad with movies and TV shows before I travel.

I do not bother re-encoding anything on a 4K disc, I just rip them straight to my NAS and strip out foreign audio and subtitle tracks.
Why is it creepy? The influencers already publicly posted their location and photo.
This reminds me of the early days of the synthesizer. Oh, no. Music is over. First it was novel and interesting, then it was poorly done and cliche and then the artists did what they do, they turned it into something new and fresh and then it was awesome. Same story, new tech. I'm just keeping my eye out for the Stevie Wonder of SD.
Absolutely. something that's missing, is opportunities for enrichment. why is there no woodworking classes? or just general purpose learning classes for building stuff like houses or roofs. i'd love to learn how to set up a well, or build my own hand operated water heating tank, etc. Or at least offer a downtown vibe with live music, farmers market, and interesting cafes and museums. I don't want to see a huge parking area filled to brim with cars and heat stroke enducing pavement as far as the eye can see.

most malls, all i see is a sea of materialistic nonsense big box stores. i'll never visit those: and all conglomerates can wonder why no one goes there until the end of time.
I think the bikes and the very fat people are a self-solving problem there.
It can't control the speed of case fans though, no?

I suppose I don't care about memory usage for "bloat". I want it to be easy and pleasant to use, and to start quickly and unobtrusively. No 10 second long splash screen every time I boot.
Assuming your suggestion is possible, why wouldn't we just replace the road with railway tracks and move vehicles on flatbed cars instead?

No one would need to change their cars.

And before anyone mentions throughput, let's assume we can use custom track sizes and just have people drive into the side of a railway car, like it was a ferry. Should be able to stack cars two height.
Totally this!

I was just suggesting a slightly more efficient way that would not require the author to buy new hardware, but I agree: an ESP with direct IO to the "framebuffer" is better.
> And the brake dust aspect may slightly reduce due to regenerative braking.

This might be underselling it. I hardly use the brakes on our EV at all. In a journey yesterday of 180km, I only touched the brakes at the end, when pulling into a car park.
Nick Cave Lost Two Sons. His Fans Then Saved His Life
If you're afraid of showing visible signs of sweat on a 100F day, something else is wrong.

I bike commute in Texas year round about 8 miles one way. 4-5 days a week. 104F or 22F.

For a typical day, it takes about 15 minutes of air conditioning for me to stop sweating, and I don't even change my shirt. On a more formal day, I'll arrive an hour early and bring my button down and pants in a bag, and the key is to completely stop sweating before you change. If you shower in the morning at home, a bit of sweat isn't going to make you stink. Office shower is a plus if you do cold showers though

I'm not a jock but being a bike commuter gets you more positive office cred than the anti-sweat pearl clutching gets you negative office cred.
And that's fine. If the question being asked is "should we shut down these reactors", then operating cost is a good metric to look at (at least until major maintenance is required, then that has to be added.)

But if the question being asked is "should we build more nuclear reactors", then construction and financing costs must be included.
Issue happens at 1:14 on the Youtube video. I imagine they cut the broadcaster's mic (or they had some impressive self-discipline) as you hear nothing at all from the commentator until a corporate statement is read.
Fun read, seeing as how this paper is from the late 70's, it would be interesting to know what comments the author got as part of his RFC for Japanese, Norwegian and Swedish.
The teacher has to adapt to the curriculum, develop material for it that suits the students and their own teaching styles. All while teaching kids all day. This consumes a lot of time, and is incredibly mentally taxing.
In general the argument template is "If you're not 100% committed to realizing a more extreme version of your mission statement than the status quo, then you're being hypocritical and cannot be taken seriously." We see the same thing pop up in, "You don't like capitalism, yet you still participate in it," and "You don't like cars, yet you still drive places." It's the sort of tired teenager type argument that doesn't seek to advance the discourse. It does nothing to convince anyone of anything and instead it exacerbates division. There's plenty of other better arguments to make and for some reason the author goes for this one.
Exactly, what we should really be striving for is diverse life experience.

Having a bias towards people based on skin colour and gender alone is racist and sexist by definition.

If people really cared about diversity they'd ask you about your upbringing, your views on life and how you would bring diversity into the work place.

I know I've never been asked such a question during an interview...
So here's where I'm stuck: On the one hand I totally understand the objections to categorizing people based on things that won't affect their job performance per se -- skin color, gender, who they are attracted to, etc.

But on the other hand, those people have been systematically discriminated against, well, forever.

So the question is, where should the fix be applied? If the only people who have the skills to do the job you are hiring for are straight white men, because they are the only ones who had the opportunity to get the training, should we fix that at the hiring level?

The initial reaction is probably no, we should push that fix further down to make sure those people get the same chances as everyone else. But that will take decades. What do we do until then?

And there is another thing too -- you can't deny that a black woman has had a vastly difference life experience than a white man, even if those two people have all the same job relevant qualifications otherwise. And frankly I'd rather have the black woman on the team to offer that perspective, especially for product decisions, because they might have interesting things to say.
This whole area of research is more hype than substance.

First note that what they tout as being "the brain" is actually just a very very simplified model of the brain.
If you really want to model the brain there's a hierarchy of ever more complicated spiking neural nets.
Even simulating a single synapse in full detail can be challenging.

Having said that, the fact that some models used in practice have been found to be equal to a neuroscientific model is not really that impressive since it does neither explain the inner working of the brain, nor modern ML models. Unfortunately, Quanta magazine editors are riding too much on the hype wave to notice that.

Note also that Whittingon's other work on predictive coding networks also is not really solid. It was a pretty irritaring experience to read some of his work. That makes me skeptical of how rigorous his claims are in this case.
I was scared at first too until I realized we're talking about people already taking photos for the purpose of posting to Instagram anyway. It's involuntary surveillance while participating in voluntary surveillance.
On one hand, it stinks that it's not going better for them. On the positive side, it looks like if there was a real emergency the crew could have escaped.

I was pleasantly surprised to see this pop up on /r/opensource. It looks like blue origin is contributing to open source now https://github.com/hgrecco/pint/pull/1574.
I had the IBM "Modem and Ethernet" PCMCIA card. And a scsi one to work that zip drive on my notebook. They were awkward, but they worked.

They are nothing like Google and have proven that over time. But they don't need to be because people trust them.

Many moons ago I worked for a large online gambling provider. They worked tirelessly to make their company trustworthy, make their games entertaining, and build relationships with their high rollers. Internally, they had strategies to squeeze as much money from every user as possible without causing distress. It was quite eye opening and I can't help but draw parallels between them and Apple.
> Do we want to live in a world where you have less opportunity because of characteristics you were born with?

As a white man who grew up with a single mother, this is exactly what affirmative action appears to be. Why? Because I already had a rough start, and saw opportunities broadcast and given out to others that I didn't qualify for simply because I wasn't non-white.

I understand the on-paper intents and purposes perfectly well, but the reality is these programs are racist to the core.
Revisiting “Set Probabilities Revisited”
Generally new features in protobuf are just new features, so if a new feature is added then the worst case is the documentation will be out of date/incomplete for a short period of time.

For the most part the "constraint tightening" thing doesn't affect the language specification, at least in my experience. For example, there have been some changes in protobuf that affect things like serialization order. A change like that can break brittle tests that do things like checking that a function produces some exact serialized string/byte sequence, but they don't affect the semantics of the language.
> nobody seems particularly willing to do that

This. The amount of mathematical illiteracy is staggering in ML.

Intel’s New Processors Will Hit 6GHz Out of the Box
Hate? It's a small laptop, and I feel generally well-designed. Sure it could have more, for example I think the USB-C card should have two ports. I think they are trying to give them enough space for bulky cables, etc. But two small ports should fit in one card.

But it isn't "bad" in any sense of the word. More cards and they'd have to make the motherboard bigger. Maybe on a future 15"?
In pouring over the relevant RFCs fairly recently in order to implement my own client, I learnt (though didn't implement - raised a not implement exception, and I've yet to receive exceptional mail) that you don't actually need HTML for inline images.

Tl;dr a multipart message can include an image with an inline 'content disposition'. It's intended that clients show it inline, but I suspect many don't. Like I said I haven't received any yet anyway, so it's probably not that consequential.

Another quirk I'm aware of, by implementing my client quite unforgivingly, is that many emails are structured with the attachments only 'tied' to one alternative, often the text/plain media type, so if you interpret the parsed tree structure of alternatives/attachments literally, the HTML-formatted message might refer to an attachment (I mean a PDF say, not an embedded image) that's actually only available on the plaintext version. Having never encountered this before, I'm pretty sure other clients (like Gmail, Fastmail) present all found attachments alongside whichever alternative is viewed, not taking the actual email too literally (as I presently do).
> Protobuf is the most stable and widely adopted IDL today

I've run into this misconception so many times over the last decade. Protobuf is much less than an IDL (intentionally so). It's used to describe the data of an interface but is completely unopinionated about all other aspects of an IDL. GRPC is a great example of how to use ProtoBuf in an IDL, but it could be used for other categories of interfaces (object oriented, etc). People treating ProtoBuf as an IDL make the mistake of concentrating too much on the data format and not about (imho) more important aspects like pre and postconditions etc, that make an interface an interface.
People shouldnt be forced to accept diversity. It should be opt-in. Forcing anything on a person against their will does not work and leads to radicalization. The harder they push, the more radicalized people become. This is what leads to attacks like Christchurch.
Sounds like just another version of dongle hell. It is even worse for ports used less often, in my opinion. Last thing I want is to realize I want to hook my laptop up to a TV and I can't find or forgot my HDMI dongle, or want to flash an SD card and can't find my SD card dongle...
No, no, don't say the thing out loud. Apple can do no evil!
I find it so eerie that institutions are trying to design their work force's distribution of skin color. Unless your work force is make-up models or something.
