I run Linux at home. I have heard people say over and over that AMD is king on Linux.

I have a 6900XT and while it performs well, the driver is actually shit. I have had issues with one or more of my three displays not starting on boot, or not waking up from monitor poweroff.

Pinning the kernel to an older version seems to keep things stable. I was dealing with that sort of breakage what seemed like once a month for a year.
"Customisable" would be a preferable term IMO.

"Owner-customisable" or "user-customisable" perhaps to clarify that you're in control.

"Putting you in control of your TV" might be a good slogan or motto.

You jest, but the dutch tax IT systems are a horror show. Many bugs and slow (think they still have Tandem mainframes in the basement). Many people are personally affected by the bugs, including myself.
Hey! I see you mention graph relations, and was wondering if it would be possible to use SurrealDb to store data about eg people and events and query the database to retrieve "proximity" out of that data, ie number of "hops" between two or more people.

Coukd you elaborate on that or point me to the right direction?

Thanks!

Agreed, and besides the broader point, considering this is a writing style guide, is to avoid ambiguous/awkward statements altogether.

If this sentence was describing places you shouldn’t visit as an example, a bullet point list would probably be more appropriate. So in a more context-appropriate example this would probably be rephrased as

This disease is found in the following areas:

* Jamaica

* Antigua and Barbuda

* Turks and Caicos

Now I’m not arguing if this particular style guide is a good idea or not - but I can see why you might want to avoid the original statement which was quite hard to parse with confidence.

Having never heard of "Turks and Caicos" the sentence was quite difficult to parse in my opinion. I happen to have heard "Antigua and Barbuda" as a single place name at some point but even then I wasn't entirely sure until I saw your explainer.

All confusion could be removed by a few commas, I don't see why you wouldn't add those.
Is there anyone left still using FogBugz? I thought modern tools (GitHub, GitLab, Taiga, etc) had made it obsolete a long time ago.
Debating > Deplatforming

Aside from being an endless game of whack-a-mole, I feel the race to deplatform undermines ideological diveristy and other key civic values.

Has there been any reduction in the number of misthinkers? Anecdotally, no.

Maybe it's best to step back and look at the bigger picture:

- Why are people seeking out this type of content?

- Why has there been an increase in the fragmentation of American (and Western) society?

- Why do so many of us feel so alone, despite being more connected?

Society is ill. I am unsure of the underlying problem but think it may be related to a lack of civic education and governments needing to reevaluate their end of the social contract.
Why does chopin sounds the same after 250 years
Every day there seems to be 2 or 3 posts about Rust in HN. I really don't get it.

Looking at job posts the language has minimal traction so why all this fuzz? Are there really that many people willing to throw in their time and energy to a tech stack that won't pay the bills? Or is it just a critical mass of fans creating all that fuzz? I don't get it but it really tires me out and I believe I'm not alone in it.

Anyway. To the point. Rust biggest challenge IMHO is job market. Untill it justifies the time investment for the millions of us that need to pay the bills it simply is not worth the effort. Being a dificult language to work with (as in at the other end of niceness like say Ruby) it is not even justifyable as a hobby lang.

I guess atm it's more of virtue signalling really. I write rust therefore i must be a good dev. Yeah. So are the haskell guy next door.

Anyway. Just my 2 cents.

How would we be able to tell that a person has no soul? How can we even say that we have a soul? The problem with the existence of the soul is that there is no definition of what the soul is for science to prove or disprove its existence. Right now it's just a fuzzy term to be employed in religious rhetoric.
I can attest to this.

In my younger days when I was more cocky and had less "important" responsibility, I often literally did what you described instead of setting an alarm clock. (It didn't always work shrug)

These days even when I set an alarm, I often wake up a couple minutes before the set timer (though sometimes it varies with error up to 1+ hour, so it isn't that precise).

Aaronson's story (the original article) is a bit more spooky than that though. If this world was a simulation and if there was a way to glitch out, a lot of his work on computability and computational complexity do seem like prime candidates for a theoretical foundation for breaking out of the simulation. The presentation software censoring his work would be a very mild way to warn him about the dangers of spreading the knowledge to the unwashed masses :P
What do you do with people that don't argue in good faith but argue to confuse and distract?
I believe that to be true. In addition they'll be more corrupt in secret. A few things need to happen, reform political contributions and outlaw bribery, as well as enforcing laws, politicians going without punishment when they do illegal shit is just setting precedent for others to follow suit.
> Technology brought about a better way of solving this problem

Better for whom?

The discoveries of fossil fuels brought about new ways of solving certain problems, with the benefit of hindsight they too were also not without fairly major negative consequences.

"Technology" isn't just relentlessly positive.
I'm looking for something that performs on par or a bit better than nVidia 1080Ti, at about the same price point (~300€) and I just can't find any. Significantly newer Radeon RX 6600 cards have 10-20% worse performance according to benchmarks, for a similar price point (300€). 6900XT outperforms it by 30% but costs ~1000€.

Indeed, bsd-games were not mentioned. Here's a list: https://github.com/msharov/bsd-games

There was Sleuth also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleuth_(video_game)

Personally I enjoyed IF like TATCTAE (Time: All Things Come To An End), Jigsaw and Curses! which where included in early GNU/Linux distributions (unbeknownst to me at that time that much other int-fiction was being created, since we were exploring the OS distributions offline, InfoMagic CDs etc.)

Before that, BBS door games existed (much avoided because exhuberant dialup costs). Typing in BASIC source code from books lent from the library (mostly text-based games). My interest was piqued by MUDs at one point afterwards, but never really got active (again because of dialup costs to connect to the Internet).
This channel has such a good window on what is going wrong in America at the bottom. The stories of how people end up being exploited and damaged, the failure of foster care, and the awful reality of kids being born into the exact same circumstances which will repeat themselves.
Except the Oxford comma PREVENTS confusion, and thus should be the rule.
> There's something about this word that makes me a bit cautious when it comes to media.

It is a glaring example of fake consensus. They're hitting a soft target in the Daily Stormer & 8kun, but frankly the internet - and the world at large - is oozing with scum. The people who have decided they hate this particular wart are a tiny, vocal, powerful and very unlikable minority who are not representing the real emotions people feel here. Which is almost certainly tolerant indifference.

They're telling people how to think, not what is happening. People who do that are untrustworthy.

The translations include changes to modern words, don't they? Don't tell me you can't see the craziness you're leading yourself into here. And don't tell me you don't see any room for misinterpretation if you are even correct - which you aren't as the other commenter has shown.

From another commenter:

> A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man

And also:

> A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.

Tell us please how we just misunderstood the context of these two. Or were we supposed to begin reading between the lines now that it doesn't sound so positive?

Aren't AMD GPU drivers known to be unreliable on linux at launch and stabilize later on?

I have similar issues with my 1080Ti by the way, it just wont recognize one or two screens and will mess up the display configuration if I turn one of them off. Going into display settings, applying a new configuration and reverting it usually helps.

Yeah, that's public information. It's fair to everyone. We're specifically talking about "insider" knowledge which they take advantage of before anyone else knows.
Exactly. Maybe not for the reasons you posted but still.

You don't want a hosting service or an ISP to censor their customers. Even with neo nazis.

I'm pretty sure there are some laws against hate speech and the kind of threats that neo nazis make even in NL so the sites could be taken down through a legal process.
I’m sure if you put together a representative sample of Internet users from around the world, you’ll find that more of them hate cia.gov than have heard of any of the websites mentioned in TFA.

How much experience do you have with Slack? It sounds like you might have been burnt by spammy bots in the past?

Having used it for ~7 years at a bunch of companies, I can say with confidence that bots are a very core part of Slack’s value.

There certainly are spammy notifications that sound useful and turn out not to be, but it’s not hard to keep the signal to noise ratio high with a little effort.

None of them did this because it has an absolutely awful cost v benefit ratio. In the present scenario they are likely to have a bright political future where the maximum downside is likely to be a political fizzle followed by a lucrative retirement whereas maximum downside of attempting to overthrow government is death or prison.

Comparatively playing for time, doing nothing, and then voting Trump are all low risk activities which is why it is entirely believable that they should come to pass.

People aren’t robots. Not enforcing the Oxford comma doesn’t mean you mindlessly write ambiguous sentences.

Style guides that don’t use the Oxford comma will suggest either: adding the comma where necessary to avoid confusion, or rewriting your sentence to be less ambiguous.
The sentence already has the Oxford comma, and it appears it didn’t prevent your confusion. If the commas are not effective at their job, I don’t see why one would add them.
Oh looks like it is available for other platforms too, though the description on github project refers to macos.

> You can always make choices that will make your situation worse, but no matter what you do or don't do there's really no telling what might cause you harm.

People resist this notion because psychologically, on a basic level, we wanna feel safe at home. In Maslow's ordered sets of needs, the need to feel safe at your resting spot comes right after "not being beaten", "not freezing" and "not starving". The idea that it's entirely unknowable to you what (completely innocent and legal) things you might have done ten years ago turn you into a "PoI" today is - obviously - quite scary and contrary to that.
Are you concerned about damage from heat during previous use? You're going to be running it for hours or days anyway if you train on large complex datasets, so a GPU that's been used for a few months might not have lost you too much lifetime.

Otherwise it should work exactly as new.
To me the matter is very simple:

If you are a hosting service and one of your clients publishes illegal content (perjury, child pornography, etc.) then either of two things happen:

1) If your client gets sued or investigaded for said content and you don't have their credentials, you are held responsible for the content they publish. You go to court and you get fined/arrested and forced to remove the content.

2) If you have your client's identifiable information then 2a) the client goes to court and he is fined/arrested and forced to delete che content 2b) if the client used fake credentials (fake passport, stolen credit card etc.) and you prove your good faith then you are only forced to take down the content.
I know that OTP is the primitive below but Elixir adds many interesting and useful tools on top e.g. DynamicSupervisor and even a partitioned supervisor (executing tasks among several nodes).

It basically makes OTP even better by building several useful and often needed real-world tools on top of it.

No, this does not logically follow.

General rule: don’t use the comma. If the sentence is ambiguous to the reader in a specific case, then either: add a comma, or rewrite your sentence to be less confusing.
And the main reason why they don't get any traffic and no one gives a shit is because they're either not promoting it or they give up too quick.

On the not promoting it side of things, there is too much disdain for self promotion. It's often looked down upon to promote yourself. So some people won't do it because they dislike others doing it. Their refusual to self promote hurts them more than others. The people who do self promote have a higher chance of success because they told everyone about themselves.

The giving up too quickly side of things, it takes time to build up a following, to build a reputation. You're not going to get 1000 views daily on your blog overnight. I've written multiple high traffic blog posts that are widely linked to, translated into other languages and even then, I barely get 100 users a day on my site when I'm not actively promoting it and creating new content. Most of my blogs probably get 1000 users overall. Very few get 1,000 users in a day. Sure if I keep building up my content and I'm more consisent it'll eventually get to the point I'm getting 1,000 users a day. But it's going to take time. And most people aren't willing to invest that time.

The market for GPUs isn't as efficient as the stock market. Miners might also have wanted to profit right until the end. The price doesn't come down until the used GPUs actually hit the stores.
Bit of an odd complaint on a site for people whose companies pay them in stock.
> Sticking with my example of dealers, let's just say people like dealers are not employed in great numbers in all but the largest financial organisation. Let's also say that there are certain events and certain times of day when the entire dealing desk is, shall we say, "busy and stressed out". There is little scope for a colleague to step in at those times, because everyone is franticly busy on the phones with their own workload.

That just sounds like optimizing for efficiency over redundancy, which is a trade off you can make, but not one that is required. Financial organizations could hire more dealers so you don’t have “little scope” for others to help out. Or they could staff an IT group that is open 24/7 ready to help these traders instantly.
Wikipedia itself is commons, regardless of what private property it's served on (which is 100% fungible.) This isn't the case with YouTube, which is the problem. When you pay someone running Wikipedia or IA, that's what you're paying for. When you pay for YouTube, you're just paying stockholders and executives, their costs are more than covered, and on top of that you have no rights and no control. I'm sorry that you can't see the difference and why that's wrong and makes your behavior irrational.

This post isn't really that deep. The writer's discovery of the real nature of math is in line with essentially all disciplines. Things are usually presented as more rigid to make learning easier, but in all fields of research the lines are much more blurred.

But yeah sure it's good that more people understand this. When I used to teach math to university students, this true nature of math is something I always tried to get across. Students would tend to fight this by nature (possibly because they feel more comfortable in a world where mathematical "laws" truly are laws), but I usually pushed back since I thought the insight was important. I'm not entirely sure it was though.

That's the best case, even though "not abusing them" is a low hurdle.

Such life would not be limited to human forms.

Even with just human forms, if you're going to all the trouble to engineer custom life, why make that life anything other than your idea of perfect? I don't know for sure, but I suspect that a predisposition to obedience to authority figures may be engineered; some would want that in their own children, others in what may be de jure servants and de facto slaves.

Last I checked — a few years ago, and this is a fast moving field — we can't currently 3D print large complex living structures, only simple and small because of the oxygen diffusion limit; if we can engineer around that, even if you still needed to replace the brain with a computer and nerves with metal, you can have a "real life centaur ride" or dragon drones.

If you do that but deliberately replace the brain and nerves with electrical equivalents, you have remote controllable meat[0] puppets making bodyguards redundant (the person being protected can just be remote); making worthless eye witness accounts, DNA tests, and fingerprints; and what happened with DeepFake porn then happens IRL with sex workers puppeting everyone and everything from Addams Family's Thing to Westworld LARP.

The landscape of possibilities and preferences for these things may be radically altered by other related tech. For example, skin samples can be grown in vitro and transplanted back to a human (IIRC this is already done for severe burns victims), combine with suitable GM (IDK, spider silk perhaps?) and someone could become naturally bullet resistant, radically changing not only the nature of bodyguarding but also soldiering.

[0] well, not necessarily meat, it might be made from GM fungus cells or plant cells, but it could be made to look arbitrarily close to or far from any of those things

Not so much whether the code will be performant enough to service concurrent websocket requests, but other operational concerns such as, websocket balancing across the cluster, authentication and access logs, failure modes, or usage isolation, just to name a few things off the top of my head.

Neither democracy, nor decency, nor legitimacy, nor corruption are binary. One can say that the 2000 election was decided in a corrupt way while understanding that even such a decision left the electoral process largely as functional as it was in 1996 and decisions on the relative merits of different courses of action are left to be judged on their own merits. All your arguments are games and non arguments that refuse to engage with any topic at all in a meaningful way.
