I was a supply teacher. A kid did something similar in early 2010s and he was doing online homeworks for his classmates for about $1 per month. He had about a hundred clients at the peak and he was never caught.
Similar here. Still have occasional nightmares about missed requirements 40 years on.
Why can't you help your classmates with writing? You may have been doing it wrong.
They do? I never actually was especially studious so had not much pressure to do well. Though I didn't party either and sat at the computer labs (in the physical library at high school) coding or learning new things to code. Quite enjoyed it actually. Lucked out that back down under engineering was a low demand course back in the day soon entry into college was easy (kids for some reason at the time dreamt of being accountants and actuaries!!)

Related, back in the 80's I tried a friend's small biofeedback device and learned in a short time how to really relax.

The device was a galvanic skin response device that looked like a mouse.

You put your fingers on it and it would make a tone that would decrease in pitch with less muscle tension. I laid down and tried to decrease the tone and I gradually learned where I was holding tension and how to relax. As the tone got deeper I would get closer and closer to falling asleep.

> Athletes worry about having enough energy during their exercise.

Ironically, I'm a sedentary person who doesn't have enough energy to do 10 stations at the gym. If I do back & legs I'm pretty much done for the day.

While I was reading the article, I realized that my need for optimizing for efficient blood sugar use is different than the many who would rather waste it.
I have a recurring dream where the university revokes my diploma years after graduating because I actually somehow dropped out of all my classes and forgot to finish the final projects/exams.

That never happened, but I did drop a couple classes before the withdrawal deadline to fix the workload. It feels so real though.
That would be a really, really annoying world, because people wouldn't threaten litigation, they would actually just start suing immediately. If you have only two choices: to not do anything and put yourself at risk, or start the expensive and time-consuming litigation process, the latter will be the "smart" move more often than not. Products and services would become more expensive, there would be fewer free things, there would be more weasel words and fucked up clauses in ToS, etc. Let's not go down that path.

I had a professor talk about those old systems once.

Weren't those systems a bus architecture? Like the backplane wires all shared the same wires so it was possible to keep stringing them along?

Modern PCIe, and even USB3, are star networks. Everything directly connects to the northbridge like an Ethernet cable star network connects to a switch.

-------

PCIe slots communicate the idea well. There are only so many dedicated wires the northbridge exposes to USB3 or PCIe.

This, it makes sense to have those limited wires in the form of PCIe slots or USB3 connectors.
Humanities can be just as hard, but easier to bluff. In STEM wrong is obvious, and the only hope of skating by is if the teacher is forgiving with the expectations.
It is being "used", yes, but to "great effect"? We don't see any "effects" yet - that's the whole point - we don't know yet whether the hype is justified. Time will tell.

After my initial failed attempt to learn Rust I then took a second shot at it by writing Actix web code and had alot more success. This is the path I would take if I was returning to Rust.

Having said that, I felt that for the most part this approach was just avoiding the task of learning the complexities. But, I do believe that learning something hard starts by learning a little bit of it and building on that initial foothold.
Having a lot of money is Harvard quality. Remember these institutions survive because the rich donate. This is also how brilliant minds come in contact with capital, and how we fund people studying knots and english literature all day long. It's a form of patronage.

Solving physics isn't a soft thing like making pretty art.

I'm firmly in the "AI/ML will eat the world" camp, but the praises being foisted upon AlphaFold are borderline damaging to the real field and its practice.

You can't throw AlphaFold at pharmaceutical problems and call it a day. This press feels like a "mission accomplished" victory lap when it's very clear we're only just getting started.
It was part of the homework, we had to watch a video and write down notes in a physical notebook. The notebook was never checked because they assumed that a video watched >=1x meant that we understood the task. The videos took a while to watch so we'd rather skip.

I have a feeling that I'll also find this fact to be true within very specific contexts which are missing from the claim above.

One could interpret it as 'I got permabanned and made to feel bad afterwards for upvoting an unpopular opinion one time' or 'I got permabanned after upvoting an unpopular opinion for the 1000th time during an ongoing raid feud.' I presume the truth lies somewhere between those extremes.

Most SWEs I know at FAANG justify it by deliberately half assing the code (e.g. Fuchsia) to collect a big salary while also not being responsible for building evil things. It's a decent compromise imo.
Disclaimer: I am significantly financially invested in Lilac's success.

I really do think this kind of technology is the way forward for Lithium extraction. Total water return, no ponds, no evap, tiny footprint. Even if it's not Lilac, someone will solve this for the timescale we need to extract Lithium before recycling becomes common.

Hard rock is a very different story to brine of course.
I have some technical knowledge of the field, and this is not true. The ability to do this is brand new and getting into the public's hands essentially the same time as anyone else's.

For hard evidence of this, see Russia's use of deepfakes a few months ago to impersonate Zelensky and attempt to make Ukraine think their leader was surrendering.

The deep fake was technically advanced but also laughably bad.

What would be an interesting and difficult question is whether this state of things can largely be attributed to the AI community's commitment to making advances in AI open to public knowledge and use, or if there is some stronger factor at work.
The extreme left and right are both fairly problematic, although for different reasons and to different degrees.
It's interesting that planets could roam between solar systems for 10's of billions of years before becoming uninhabitable, and that such planets are likely common.
Your analogy about tech platforms being similar to cable companies which broadcast multiple channel is not correct as the tech platforms also host these "channels" / content and it is the internet which enables their distribution. So if they host these content, and want to decide what content should be disseminated, they are actually acting like TV / Radio media platforms. In which case, they need to accept the liability for the content they disseminate, just like any TV or radio business have to. But obviously tech companies do not want to bear this burden.

Online platforms are both communication platforms for private communication and public broadcast platforms like TV and Radio. Just apply the existing laws and regulations to both these aspects. If they don't want any liability, then they should be treated as common carriers who have to be neutral to the content that flows on their platform - let the content producer be liable. Ofcourse, this means anonymous content cannot be allowed.
Food trucks are under the purview of fda and the local and state authorities of the jurisdiction they do business in. Health and fire inspectors do audit these locations or trucks in the event of an entirely self contained food truck. These businesses are still subject to the whims of these oversight bodies and may be arbitrarily shut down overnight.

Your comparison is factually incorrect on every count. I do hope that you’re just ignorant of the mind boggling amount of legislation your average food truck is subject to.

To bring this full circle, gun owners are de facto legally assumed to be reasonable and responsible owners that abide the law and diligently pay attention to the changes of laws. If you become a felon “overnight” because of an illegal weapon; well that’s on you. Being responsible sucks because it demands humility and accountability. If you’re neither capable of admitting your mistakes nor following the glacial pace of state/federal law making then you’ve no business owning tools capable of killing masses of people in seconds from hundreds of yards away. Great power, great responsibility. Lately some politicians have become tunnel visioned on the power part, I’d like to remind you that in order to maintain a lawful society we must be responsible lest the unwashed masses take Justice for themselves in whatever capacity they can. This is the compromise of a civilized society, you would be wise to learn more about why things are they way they are before you write up factually incorrect justification for your grievances.

The idea is so people spend less time building infrastructure around fintechs and just build the fintech they want. The way to stand out is by building the better mousetrap.
> The inverse is equally problematic and harder to solve: those in power discrediting real photos/videos/phone-calls as “deep fakes.”

This is true. Although witnesses and/or the person behind the camera could sign the video. They might want to, in fact, if they thought they might be witnessing something illegal and might need to defend themselves later.

I guess I'm imagining a future where signed videos are common. Unsigned content or content signed by some random entity would draw suspicion. Maybe not enough to keep people from seeing it, but enough that it wouldn't spread like wildfire like it does today.

There could be disputed videos, too-- Where one party signs and one doesn't. Or maybe a situation where two parties secretly ally against another to run a more convincing smear. Hmm, there's all kinds of weirdness that a system like this might create. Maybe a cyberpunk author could explore it further :)
> Entirely depends on what you're building.

Exactly this, if you are building some CRUD app then it's as easy as using Java or Go etc, because basically there you have request -> contact some db -> return result, maybe do some processing of that data, so no need to fight borrow checker at all. But if you build something like multiplayer game server with lots of state of 3D world that constantly changes and interacts with itself, that is operating on self referencing data structures etc then it's not as easy as in GC language.

The GPU is the most expensive component in gaming PCs these days, thus it makes the least sense for it to be the hard-wired component as there is the most price diversity in options. I have definitely upgraded GPUs on several computers over the past decade and I'm very thankful I didn't have to rip out the entire motherboard (and detach/reattach everything) to do so.

It's only the cheap components without a wide variety of options that make sense to build in, like WiFi, USB, and Ethernet.

C arguably is, considering the analyses done on programs in C are not precluded from being super stringent, perhaps as stringent with compiler-specific flags?

TimescaleDB supports compression for all data types, it just uses type-aware compression algorithms that it applies automatically/transparently based on typing.

- Gorilla compression for floats

- Delta-of-delta + Simple-8b with run-length encoding compression for timestamps and other integer-like types

- Whole-row dictionary compression for columns with a few repeating values (+ LZ compression on top)

- LZ-based array compression for all other types

https://www.timescale.com/blog/building-columnar-compression...

So as to your question, just turn on compression; it's very common to see 94-97% reduction in storage.

The nice thing about Catholics, from the perspective of these doctrinal brain teasers at least, is that they are fairly centralized. Centralized enough that they can have official positions. Unlike Jews or protestants or Muslims. (Perhaps Orthodox Christianity also has enough structure to have official positions?)

In any case, from what I remember when I last looked into this topic the Vatican's official position on this is issue is that they don't have an official position. (Disappointing, I know.)
> We can choose to upzone

You'll hear no arguments from me. Even the biggest cities in this country are laughably low density.

> convert some roads to bus rapid transit and some to bikes

I don't know, I used to live in one of those big cities that had an awful commute by car, with congested roads and expensive parking when you could even find one. Solo drivers still comprised the plurality of commuters, and that number only went up during my time there, despite many efforts at improving public transit.

People just don't like public transit for some reason, even when the alternative is pretty shitty. I don't imagine that it's gotten any more popular in this year, with higher rates of crime and other antisocial behavior on public transit around the country.

> one that has been solved over and over again in the modern era

Are there really good examples of cities anywhere around the world that were previously automobile-centric that became public transit-centric?
Thank you! Alistair and I have been in startups since we were 15/16, and we've both now finished school and work full time in the startup space.

An important reason why you cannot have that is that the VME is a shared bus, while PCIe is a very high-frequency LVDS point-to-point system that you absolutely cannot implement on a shared bus.
> Are there any GPUs that actually have performed physical damage on a motherboard slot?

It's quite common to suffer damage from movement, especially in shipping, to the point where integrated PC manufacturers have to go to great lengths to protect the GPU in transit.
Can you share a good source for that “entire male population of UK killed” part?
Im skeptical, so Ill need a reference, but consider:

- You're commenting on a thread about a collapsing water table due to Li extraction.

- Li's price has risen and projected to continue to do so for quite some time.

- You post that Li extraction is cheap, clean and widely available in TX (perhaps the most covetous state of the Union?). Money is literally in a capped oil well and Texans are too lazy to pick it up.

Perhaps Li isn't as easy and clean to extract as you were led to believe?

I'm currently learning Rust (as a distinctly average programmer) and I think I agree. I put that so tentatively because I have experienced something of what Rust advocates claim - ie. when I've battled just trying to get a module to work at all for a while, but then when it does fit together (in a rather pleasing way, like gears snicking neatly together), it just continues to work. So I don't rule out the possibility that with more experience the fitting-together experiences will overtop the ugh-this-is-difficult ones, and I will become another Rust enthuser.

But on the other hand I'm often driven mad by the complexity, not so much of the language, but the libraries. There are several very popular & foundational ones I've used where I've literally not once managed to get anything working by following the incomprehensible docs, only by chasing up blog and forum posts in the desperate hope of finding a usable snippet.

Then there is the community, which despite its reputation for inclusiveness, is insufferably smug (for genuinely pleasant communities, try Elixir or Clojure). If you say something is difficult, they'll just inform you it's not, therefore by implication you must be thick or obtuse.
I'm skeptical that even mighty microsoft can make anti-competitive claims go away by complaining to their favorite regulators. They were beat up by that. Can you provide more info?
> By definition, super-Earths have many of the attributes of a super habitable planet.

Is that true?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-Earth

> A super-Earth is an extrasolar planet with a mass higher than Earth's, but substantially below those of the Solar System's ice giants, Uranus and Neptune, which are 14.5 and 17 times Earth's, respectively.[1] The term "super-Earth" refers only to the mass of the planet, and so does not imply anything about the surface conditions or habitability.
2. We crossed that point generations ago. High end GPU owners are advised to remove GPUs from their system before transporting it and PC communities get posts often enough of people who had consequences from not doing so. Over a longer term even a lighter card can deform motherboards - I had a 290x which did so to an old Z87 motherboard over 5 years with the result the motherboard was no longer flat enough to mount the backplate of a replacement cpu cooler to.

4. Don't forget high end GPUs are also getting longer, not just thicker. So increasing sizes both give and take away weight advantages
And here I am wondering what the fuck happened to freedom.

Both the right and left have become supremely prescriptive in their own ways.

I want stronger local government. I have no way of trusting any of these assholes at the federal and state level. Why do they get to set standards for schools, infrastructure funding, or social policy? We have grid lock in part because there are different opinions on what's best.

So be it. We'll all do what we want, and time will prove what works best. Then we can use the federal/state levels for their intended purpose: handling externalities and international affairs.
That's not a reasonable answer. Many people want to buy assembled systems, and lack the skills/inclination to do it themselves. Pre-built systems is a huge $1B+ market, and "kill the market entirely" is not an acceptable answer.

People seem to forget that 6 trillion dollars of liquidity was injected into the US monetary supply in 2020 (close to a 50% increase in the total USD monetary supply). The 2008 financial bailout popularized by "The Big Short" pales in comparison to what happened in 2020. While there are situations where creating liquidity via monetary policy is necessary - it sucks that it directly impacts the savings and wages of everyday people through inflation.

Total bitcoinization would be dystopian but as a lifeboat against the inexorable spread of the negative side effects of inflation and the skyrocketing price of assets due to the cantillon effect - it is remarkably effective.

I think some part of the luxury experience is the intentionality involved in buying a physical magazine.

I’ve been a subscriber to a number of publications that might be considered luxury media - think the Financial Times, Times Literary Supplement, and New York Review of Books, and more popular (“middlebrow”) titles like the Economist and New Yorker. In almost every case where there wasn’t some utilitarian value proposition, I found myself opening the covers (or apps) less and less over time while still getting unreasonably excited when buying single issues at airport newsstands and such.

Over 80% of Seattle housing land is SFH. The "expanded rail" runs to non-walkable suburbs instead of filling out Seattle. Pretend we believed there was a climate crisis and decided to stop all cars.
