I recall, back in the day, we had video cards on the Amiga with a passthrough port.

The Amiga could output stock NTSC/Pal and some close variants, and many monitors existed which could handle that lower scan frequency (15khz), as well as higher res output with Picasso cards.

https://bigbookofamigahardware.com/bboah/product.aspx?id=466

Anyhow, we always tested new monitors before selling them. Monitors which could handle 15khz and higher frequencies too, were expensive and rare.

Often customers would plug in a cheaper, standard PC monitor, and so we wanted to offer those too.

We plugged in one such, and when the switch came to 15khz? It exploded. Like, the magic grey smoke escaped, along with flames and melting plastic.

Every other monitor brand we tested just went blank screen, or reported "out of sync" on the display.

In as customers might accidentally leave passthrough on/setup, we figured selling this monitor to them to be a mistake.

So if it can happen with too low of a frequncy, surely crappy monitors also exist which blow when too high a frequency is passed.

But that's just terrible, crappy hardware.

This is why I worry about the doomerism, especially by young people, I see online so often. Thankfully, stepping out of the bubbles that are Twitter and Reddit, it's not nearly as common to see in the real world. Just one more reason not to (unproductively) use these platforms.
True and fair. My observations may be misguided- I thought them appropriate to voice regardless purely in the context of the condescending & ironic nature of the observations the gp made about the op.

And this statement is supposed to mean what? That actual deliveries are higher than 30-40%? It's just a guess at this point for how many weapons actually reach Ukrainians who are actually fighting.

>People mistakenly see optimism as an excuse for inaction. They think that it’s pessimism that drives change, and optimism that keeps us where we are. The opposite is true. Optimists are the ones that move us forward.

Wait, what? Who thinks that way? This part is even highlighted in the article. Even blind optimism is seen as something that gives results. Sure it fails 99% of the time and a pessimist would think he will be part of the 99% but throwing things at the wall to see what sticks is a valid strategy for progress.

I can't be the only pessimist who thinks that most successful people are just lucky idiots who went along with their foolishly risky idea and somehow managed to make it work. Isn't that the most common coping strategy for the average Joe? I can't be a black sheep, right? Optimists get all the chicks, and pessimists are bitter about it.

Funny, I'd say it's quite the opposite, you aren't allowed to say anything negative or you'd be labeled as a "downer".

Close. Read his text messages. He wanted to reduce headcount, both to remove "the woke" and to reduce the wage bill. "2 day a week office requirement = 20% voluntary departures"

Everything he has done since signing the deal has been about delaying so he could sell TSLA, and letting tweeps know their values don't align with his. Hence asking the court to release his texts, and going full Russia Today right before he makes this offer to complete.

> I always admire people who have so much trust in their own abilities

Me too. It was often done in context of human behavior. Sure, it ultimately might be deterministic, just as background radiation. Can you predict the amplitude of said radiation? Maybe Skinner could and I would have loved to see him try.

> the idea of manipulating the social environment to build automatic goodness is as relevant now as it was in the 70s.

This can be a trap as well. I believe experience should have told us that more delegated autonomy usually nets better results. That means more education, taking more care of people at the lower ends of society and making sure the problem is understood by everyone or at least the vast majority in democratic countries. But we tend to fall into the same traps again and again. Hopefully that is not deterministic behavior.

But I think man can stay autonomous, no it is even a very strong requirement. You cannot imagine the creativity of man that decides to go against mandated goodness. And gladly we have said creativity. Useful for solving problems too. Rules do influence behavior of course, but the rule should address the problem, not the behavior. And it only has a right to exist if it really does solve a problem. Otherwise it must be done away with.

> China is still in lockdown and their output isn't as high as pre-pandemic levels.

The vast majority of China is not in lockdown, and Chinese output is above pre-pandemic levels.

China has had one of the highest growth rates of any large economy since the start of the pandemic (2.3% in 2020, when most large economies shrank, and 8.1% in 2021).
It definitely is. One of the funniest asides in book 1.

We're an emotionally obsessed culture. You see this in management culture too. Everything is thought to hang on people having the right attitude and the right emotional state.

I suspect that on a large scale these emotional states don't make much difference to anything (although of course they're very important on the level of individual people).
I believe you're completely correct. The current system is amoral; we should change it.

But unfortunately you don't have a right under the constitution to the legal counsel of your choice, and interfering with your ability to pay the legal council you want isn't a federal crimes government agents could go to prison for.

(One of the many reasons why is that the Supreme Court decided a few decades ago that prosecutors have absolute immunity for anything they do on the job, even if they deliberately violated the law.)
Agreed, I like to watch metaprogramming talks in a similar vein like solving chess match puzzles, but I hardly use any of that in my own C++ code, and tend to stay away from clever libraries.

Best part of latest improvements is that most common mortals don't have to deal with SFINAE, enable_if or tag dispatching.
Surprisingly well written. I was expecting a dry report full of fluff and technical jargon, but this is an excellent read.
Lol no. Your desire to avoid taxes is not a “right”, it’s a criminal intent.

Oh, and newsflash - a SD trust is an absolute red flag, and will just mark you for “Enhanced Due Diligence”, where you will be asked to prove the source of funds. And chances are that info will be then shared with your local financial crimes agency - and without your knowledge. And if you think your lawyer or accountant don’t make those reports… heh.

How that is not seen as a pyramid scheme by the SEC is beyond me.
Read chapter 2, book 1 assuming you already know how to program. It's the best reference on data structures I've found (but I have weird tastes).
It was in 1982 that I for the first time heard about the fourth generation programming languages in which you only had to specify the problem and you would get the system for free. But now 40 years later, most of the programming is still done in third generation programming languages.

I am rather skeptical about the idea that AI is going to do away with programming soon. Yes, ML have shown some impressive results and will definitely show some improvements in the coming decades, but I think it will still take some time before the efficiency of electronic based ML systems will surpass that of organic based ML systems.

Please note that this blog post is from a start-up that aims to work at ML systems that aim at replacing programming. So, this blog is also in a sense a kind of job advertisement and/or investor pitch.

Of course...I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that they are decompressing many files sequentially without knowing that you can easily run gunzip in parallel using tools like gnu parallel.

The OP says they get to "ten gigabytes in size." It does not take 15 minutes to decompress a 10GB file on a modern workstation, as they complain in a child comment, unless you decompress multiple files sequentially. I've routinely compressed and decompressed 100GB+ files on 5 year old workstation class machines and it takes at most 5-ish minutes for one direction, (stress on "at most").
It is not that tough if you approach it in the right manner. Here is my "guaranteed understanding" 5-step recipe for Calculus :-)

a) Learn co-ordinate systems Geometry.

b) Learn Functions and Graphs.

c) Learn Derivatives.

d) Learn Integrals.

e) Learn Differential Equations.

Focus on understanding single-variable only and ignore everything else in the beginning.

You will find the following resources most helpful.

1) First refresh the basics from George Simmons' Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell : Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry (it is less than 150 pages!) - https://archive.org/details/precalculusmathe00geor (pdfs are available elsewhere on the web) In particular; read the Trigonometry section thoroughly.

2) Higher Math for Beginners (Mostly Physicists and Engineers) by Zeldovich and Yaglom - https://archive.org/details/HigherMathForBeginners/mode/2up - Read everything from the beginning including Preface/Notes/etc. (which setup the Motivation) through chapter 1 (Functions and Graphs), chapter 2 (What is a Derivative) and chapter 3 (What is a Integral).

That's it! You now "know" Calculus; the rest is mere elaboration on this basic edifice. You should be able to do this in a week by just studying an hour or two everyday.

3) For a more Pictorial/Graphical help in understanding the above, get the book: Who Is Fourier?: A Mathematical Adventure by Transnational College of Lex. This is a manga-style book which gives a very intuitive understanding of Calculus and more.

Do not wait but get started today; You can thank me later :-)

That would work if the convoluted answer made any sense. I can see looking at simple events, seeing a simple answer doesn't explain it well, and looking for a more complicated answer. This is a simple event with an obvious, simple answer. Then people go looking for complicated answers... and come up with answers that make less sense.

Kind of, except for the small detail that WinDev loves their C++, and leaves to the .NET community the burden to create libraries, or even Windows Runtime components for their APIs, and also has Windows integrations that don't allow for COM implementations in .NET, forcing some of us to keep our C++ skills up to date.
Huh? Just because I don't use twitter doesn't mean that it's a foreign website to me. It's basically impossible to completely avoid interacting with it. Tweets are embedded everywhere, twitter threads get screenshotted and shared on reddit or in youtube videos and every now and again there's an interesting submission on hn that links directly to twitter.

I really don't need to use it regularly to know that it's filled with endless "hot takes" designed to aggravate instead of inviting meaningful discussion.
The way twitter works actively promotes negativity, which is precisely why I don't use it.
Also, I didn't never use it, I left the platform because of the above mentioned reasons.

I'm aware that twitter provides plenty of value for plenty of people and that it is very possible to curate your twitter experience in a way that avoids most of the negativity. But if twitter blows up there will be alternatives where the same people can derive the same value from.

And in the meantime I will absolutely enjoy a billionaire megalomaniac getting fleeced because he couldn't control is impulses.

Twitter is not "getting new leadership", or at least not leadership as that term is commonly understood. Musk will be distracted and is manifestly unqualified, not to mention uninterested.

It isn't. Even the upcoming Wi-Fi 7 will be a bottleneck for modern SSDs.

I tried out many different BSD 'flavours' recently and seemingly none of them had good networking config. It was the thing that stuck out to me. Everything else seemed to work perfectly but outside of using DHCP you were in a world of pain. I was trying to setup a BSD install and put Jenkins on it for testing. But I had so much trouble with networking I ended up having to virtualize it and do it that way. Surprisingly, VMWare wasn't up to the task either. It was Virtualbox that saved me in the end. Netlink = actual good networking management. Super useful tbh.
It's like the caricature roles in a football team.

Offense is optimists, they run to good shooting positions in case the ball comes there. Most of their running is in vain, yet they have to do it every time. They get praise if they make a goal, and if the opponent scores, it doesn't make a difference to them personally or affect their career.

Defense is pessimists, they try to prevent the opponent from scoring. They for example have to sometimes commit a tactical fault in order to prevent the opponent from getting to a dangerous position where they could score a goal. They have to guard opponent offense players, even if the ball never comes near. They are criticized if the opponent makes a goal and they don't get credit for their team's offense scoring goals.

So, one thinks a good thing might happen and tries to seize the opportunity. The other one thinks a bad thing might happen and tries to make sure it is prevented. Both are estimating an uncertain future and a lot of their work goes to waste - but only in hindsight.

Both are needed for a team to win the championships.
That's survivorship bias right there. We mostly hear of successful stories, where grinding, blood and tears paid off and have an amazing story to tell. For each one of those there are countless others that didn't work out because the conditions were not there and there is no pride/gain in sharing that to the same extent.
The scenario is that a potential buyer audits random records to validate that checks are/were handled ok and the data that must be preserved for KYC audits actually is.
This isn’t “selling your data to potential bidders” (if they are bidders there is no sale presumably?) so not sure why you are reading into it such intent.
Thanks for the pointer. Indeed, a more recent paper (cited below) estimates an even higher error rate (30.9%), but the fact that we are not talking of 0.001% tells me that excel is simply a non-starter for this kind of work.

Sure, there is never a need to be an expert to claim knowing more than them.

Also, I'm not completely convinced that it's exclusively related to the Covid lockdowns in Europe. For instance, many companies were very quick to restart (or were not even stopped) in Europe, but struggle with the IC shortage... which is not coming from Europe, is it?

>Marc Benioff spends the entirety of his time virtue signalling about how he is saving LGBT refugees from this or that, while superficially that's nice, it's ultra narcissistic PR and self aggrandization to use those people as tools for corporate branding. Nobody calls him out.

I don't think this sort of cynicism about LGBT rights activism is helpful. If we want to make progress in this area, we need support from all sectors of society. That definitely includes people who aren't saints and who don't act from wholly disinterested and pure motives. Whatever his motives (and I can't read his mind – can you?), Marc Benioff did something substantial to support LGBT rights when many other CEOs did not.

There's no objective content to the accusation of "virtue signalling". It's a zero-effort means of objecting to whatever kind of activism someone doesn't like. Instead of making a substantive criticism of the activism itself, just jump to uncharitable conclusions about the person's inner motivations.
