>So although you don't realize it, you're basically saying you want to give the police brand new powers to grab anyone they want. That's an incredibly dangerous and seriously poorly thought out suggestion.

Nope. Not intentionally or otherwise. Police have always had the "move along citizen" (with no arrest/detention at all) power. In fact, I'd say they use it far too often, at least in the US.

I'm not in the UK, and when I've visited I haven't interacted with the police, so that may not be true there. Is it?

What's more, being asked/encouraged to leave if someone is being disruptive is pretty normal and certainly doesn't require detention and/or arrest. Or even police for that matter.

Even more, (again, I'm not in the UK so not sure if this applies there) arrest records are public records and can negatively affect one's ability to get a job or housing due to the stigma around "criminals" even if they aren't actually charged/convicted in relation to such an arrest.

So no. I'm not advocating (wittingly or otherwise) for any new powers for the police. Rather, I'm agreeing with your premise that folks shouldn't disrupt solemn occasions like funerals, but I'm disagreeing with your premise[0] that such activity should be criminalised.

And I also take issue with your assertion (perhaps I misunderstood, but that's the impression I got. Please enlighten me if I've misunderstood) that the only options for police are either arrest or do nothing at all. That's absurd on its face.

The only PSU I've ever actually had fail on me was from EVGA, but their customer service was incredible as usual and replaced it quickly with no fuss.

I'm willing to chalk that up to just bad luck on my part, because they certainly don't have a reputation for selling bad PSUs, unlike Gigabyte.
> Just as constitutional factors can contribute to mental disorders, so can moral factors.

I agreed with you up to here. It seems like you're replacing chemical imbalances with morality. Mental illness does not abide by morality.

For example:

> A habit of lying, for example, can contribute to depression and anxiety.

Sure. People can be anxious about their lies catching up to them.

Yet there are people that compulsively lie even when they've been outed and presented with material evidence to the contrary. It defies all logic and appears compulsive, like...

> Denial of truths that we'd rather not face can become expressed as obsessive-compulsive disorders.

I agree with this too, but two independent statements being True does not imply a causal relationship between them. This behavior is found in Histrionic and Narcissistic personality disorders too (and maybe Borderline?).

It has been suggested that pathological lying is a symptom of OCD. The internet is divided on this, but in my anecdotal observations, this has held true. The worst liars I know all have OCD, but not everyone with OCD is a liar. I don't claim to understand why this overlap exists.

> A hedonistic lifestyle can negatively impact cognition and lead to monomania.

Sure, but what does one "get" from a Hedonistic lifestyle? I would suggest: dopamine surges.

This might seem like an easy-to-reach response to Depression, but consider that monomania/ADHD (a cognitive disorder) is literally treated with...induced dopamine surges (in the form of amphetamines).

So does the subject drown themselves in sex and drugs because they are a Lazy Glutton, because they are Depressed...or because there was something wrong with their ability to regulate dopamine production in the first place?

My pet theory: the biggest shortcoming of modern psychiatry is that we over-extrapolate observations of small groups of people as though their traits universally apply to all humans. That some people thrived during quarantine while others went berserk should attest to how we are more different than we care to admit, but we don't have a non-eugenic way of cataloguing those differences beyond labeling everyone as having some sort of psychiatric disorder because their behavior deviates from arbitrary baselines (which is in itself a problem).

Some people just can't follow orders, some are born leaders, some can't sit at a desk for 8-12 hours a day, some can live happily underground, some are liars and storytellers, some overeat. There's probably a genetic reason why individuals are wired to do each of these things, but our best guesses to date have been ridiculous and seem to be discredited with each new generation. Two cats of the same species won't behave identically either. Is either one flawed, or are both optimized for purposes we don't recognize?
Philly pays $30K to two 'courtesy' tow victims, but class-action suit continues
I don't think that pointer provenance rears its ugly head here. You are generally free to convert a pointer to an integer and then back, which is what's happening here, and you get pointer provenance problems because different pointers may be supposed to point to different objects. Basically, casting to an integer and back is supposed to be "safe", but doing math and getting pointers to different objects is not.

Note that there are some implementation-dependent factors here which I'm not getting into.

> And reading the int half of the union to check if the pointer is valid should always be sound, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

After various alias problems a while back (Linux kernel folks had some words), everyone got together and agreed that you can do type punning through a union... you just get the byte representation of one type, reinterpreted as the byte representation of another type. This was codified a few C standards ago and it's fairly explicit in the spec now.

I'll also just mention that you don't need an architecture than enforces alignment--you just need an allocator that returns aligned pointers.

It's a story any time one country hacks another and the public finds out about it. There's very little "retaliation" in the grand scheme of things today; more long on-going conflict with no end among shifting ideologically opposed opportunists.
I believe what is being said is:

If you are a citizen of the United States of America, and you are returning to the United States from a foreign country, Customs and Border Patrol are not allowed to deny you entry to the United States of America.

Of course the caveats - if you, as the citizen, have an outstanding warrant, they can arrest you. They can take your electronics. They can delay you. They can put you in a room by yourself for some period of time. But they can’t deny you entry without some kind of legal reason. They can’t hold you indefinitely.

It just comes down to how much the citizen is willing to be inconvenienced.

And I believe any American with any felony on their record will have trouble visiting Canada. I once traveled with a guy who had a felony assault conviction from a college bar fight 15 years prior. They wouldn’t let him in.

> “It’s clear that the growth of university bureaucracies and administration has been a major driver of the cost of higher education growing much, much faster than inflation. We now have about 4,500 administrators on the main campus, about three times the number of faculty, and that’s a new development over the past 20 years,” he said.

This has been going on for decades at many universities. As he notes, administrative organizations are primarily expanding for their own sake, at the expense of students.

So, which GPUs to choose if you need an upgrade in early 2022 for Deep Learning? We feel there are two yes/no questions that help you choose between A100, A6000, and 3090. These three together probably cover most of the use cases in training Deep Learning models:

Do you need multi-node distributed training? If the answer is yes, go for A100 80GB/40GB SXM4 because they are the only GPUs that support Infiniband. Without Infiniband, your distributed training simply would not scale. If the answer is no, see the next question.

How big is your model? That helps you to choose between A100 PCIe (80GB), A6000 (48GB), and 3090 (24GB). A couple of 3090s are adequate for mainstream academic research. Choose A6000 if you work with a large image/language model and need multi-GPU training to scale efficiently. An A6000 system should cover most of the use cases in the context of a single node. Only choose A100 PCIe 80GB when working on extremely large models

I think you are both right. Lower prices and lower r&d. If you buy gpu because you care about the objective performance then it's bad. If you buy gpu to keep up with Joneses, then it's good.
Yes. Exactly the same thing actually happened in 2018 with the launch of Ampere, right after the previous crypto bubble collapse.

I guess EVGA saw that Nvidia was making no effort to change how they handle this situation and decided to quit rather than deal with it again.
nginx started out as a web server and over time gained reverse proxy abilities.

haproxy started out as a proxy and has gained some web server abilities, but is all about proxying.

haproxy has less surprises as a reverse proxy than nginx does. Some of the defaults for nginx are appropriate for web serving, but not proxying.

> A foreign actor is likely to access this info eventually.

This is one thing that has always confused me about the data collection in democratic countries. I understand the appeal from an authoritarian perspective, but it seems that people don't recognize that this same data can be used as a weapon against their own citizens.

So you're left with three real options: 1) Minimize data collection, 2) Spend massive amounts of money on encryption, research, and constant audits to minimize the risk of data leakage (which will eventually get leaked in some form), 3) leave your population (and your political positions) vulnerable to manipulation by foreign and domestic entities that do not have the public's (or your) interest in mind. It seems like we're going with #3 but it even seems like a bad strategy for authoritarians. #2 seems better for that one. But #1 seems best for democracies and people in positions of power where power is not highly centralized. (Can we at least get homomorphic encryption and learning algorithms?) But I guess these same people are still under an impression that a backdoor doesn't work like any other door: that anyone can use a door as long as you can figure out how to break or crack the lock (which always happens).
It really sucks that we never discuss the incentives of war for the military industrial complex, and more importantly, its ability to influence the us government. It's always assumed that everything is purely good vs evil.

I was raised in south jersey, about 30m from Philly, and I remember exactly when jawn hit our little town, right around Y2K. I was in 9th grade at the time, and I remember it being like an arms race where people were throwing jawns out at every little thing, regardless of necessity. I also remember it pissed off a couple of the "cool kids" who were actively trying to coin "gwat" with the other students. It had some legs at first, but jawn came along and everyone forgot gwat.

Which makes sense on the supply side too. Hotels have some overhead airbnb doesnt, but at least they have decicated cleaning staff that's working at some level of scale.

With Airbnb, there's a huge inefficiency, in that places have to be maintained, but to do so, help staff have to travel all over the place (very inefficient). Back when airbnb was people renting out some extra space or going on vacation for a bit, they'd swallow the cleaning costs as part of the profit. But now that airbnb & others are industrialized, are regular money making operations, the whole question of how these kind of special, spread out businesses compete versus the classic centealized meant-for-the-purpose hotel re-appears, & the economic inefficiency/insufficiency of the "disurptor" becomes clearly apparent.

Lithium is still the fallback drug of choice with the best track record. In some countries it's as much as 50% of patients.

I was first put on lamotrogine and it's mental side effects were far more debilitating than lithium's physical side effects. Lamotrogine destroyed my working memory to the point I'd consistently leave food on the stove and just forget about it. Lithium also works better for me. It is also dirt cheap compared to alternatives which don't work as well for many people.

Other forms of Lithium also have potential for future treatments, with Lithium Orotate being considered for trials recently (few side effects, safer, crosses blood brain barrier more effectively, but was mischaracterized in the 70s and largely ignored until now).
This is a big blow for Nvidia. I currently own a Founders Edition card, but all of my other NV cards were Evga. For me, I'd exclusively buy Evga cards, the only reason I don't is because 2-slot cards are hard to come by from 3rd party vendors. Evga is the first NV brand I go to. It was my first card after I finally moved from 3dfx. A Geforce 2 MX. I used the step-up program many times over the years. They honored their RMAs, with advance RMA.

If I'm NV, I'd give Evga privileged status over other vendors (more profits). They've done a lot for Nvidia.

The other brand I could see taking their place is Corsair, but no one is going to take a bad deal with Nvidia. This may be the beginning of the end of 3rd party cards. Just buy them all direct, like CPUs.

It was already dying. Every web dev in the world hated it, and so did most of the users. But the worst offense was having proprietary closed source binary that couldn't be audited, running untrusted code on end devices. For instance, if you're on any OS other than Mac or Windows, you'd have a bad time, and often have no option to use flash sites (at the time, it was common to build flash sites even for simple document-style web pages). It was a security nightmare, but it was also a stability nightmare. When I saw Steve Jobs announcement I was so relieved. It was a bold move at the time, iPhone was nowhere near as dominant as it is today.
This is essentially Pareto resource efficiency for crime. Spending 20% of resources catches 80% of criminals. To catch the other 20% you have to spend exponentially more with exponentially diminishing returns. (This model is too simple though as the environment isn't static and criminals are able to learn and adopt strategies that make your efficiency decay over time)

The problem with descriptions being used as evidence is in your own statement. Fentanyl is a mu-opioid agonist just like heroin, morphine, oxycodone, and many other similar compounds.

As a Philadelphian, i can sum up the usage of jawn as: a place, a thing or a girl/woman.

For example this is a valid sentence:

“Person 1: I was at the jawn down the street when that bad jawn from up the block walked in. But she didn’t say anything.

Person 2: oh that’s a bad jawn”

Translation:

“Person 1: I was at the place down the street when that pretty woman from up the block walked in. But she didn’t say anything.

Person 2: oh that sucks”
