I had one of their systems, a gazelle professional 4 if I recall right, it must've been around, oh say, 2013?

And it was quite a nice machine, great linux compat, the 4-core i7 in it performed quite well and it let me load it up with RAM. It wasn't too heavy or anything and I liked the display.

But the battery life. Good lord. 45 minutes, 55 if I messed and fussed with power settings and such. Basically gaming-laptop-tier "more like a UPS than a battery" battery performance.

My next laptop was a thinkpad T440s and it had similarly good linux compat and it performed much better for battery life - I got an i5 in that one and saw 8ish hours of battery life, and it had a hot-swap feature where I could swap in a big-ass battery once I depleted the slim one and get an additional 20(!!) something hours of battery life on a single boot. Great for car trips and heavy all-day use like at conferences.

But then superfish and I swore Lenovo had lost me for-ever.

So my current laptop is an XPS13 and I get 8-10ish hours off one charge with it, and it is super thin and the only Linux issue I've had is needing a very new kernel when I bought it new a year and a half or so ago, new enough that Linux Mint didn't ship it OOTB and the live ISO couldn't get WiFi, so I installed Arch instead, where their latest install image did indeed have a sufficiently new kernel.

So I'm a happy XPS user right now and I've found I like the 13" form factor. Would I be disappointed on battery performance if I went with a system76 machine for my next laptop?

The idea of drilling an armed invasion to test security protocols of IT systems and access is absolutely insane.

I’ve worked in the highest levels of NatSec and have never even heard of this.

Either the story is exaggerated, or it’s in a country where shenanigans like this are allowed.
I did some tech work for the Amish (seriously) where I used to live, and their model of a community coming together and building a house or barn or whatever seemed to work well for them. I agree that the work I've had to do to make my home my own has been a significant challenge once children appeared, and that many people simple wouldn't have have the bandwidth in one way or another. However, I do wonder if that's a consequence of a lifestyle choice and if there aren't better ways to approach these problems.
Wow, that's a remarkably informative image, thank you @ThrowawayR2.
It's annoying to come into a discussion where people are trying to figure out object-level stuff and appeal to authority. You're also overstating the case for doing so. The actual results in this paper are easy to understand and don't involve any complicated epidemiology or statistics, so being an "untrained amateur" isn't much of a barrier to thinking about them.

I agree that the thing you were originally replying to was not a very well-thought-out criticism, and your original comment was useful and didn't require a followup sermon about humility.
I'd love it if we could just go back to the sane convention that calls a spade a spade. Eg, it's 120 V and 240 V, not "standard-volt" and "super-volt". USB is participial farcical with their ever laughable naming schemes. At least Ethernet is reasonably sane.

(And don't get me started on how 4K is a blatant lie as it's really 3860-px wide. 2160p is also ok. Real 4K is a thing, but not consumer).

> Harvard Law Professor Cass Sunstein, a close Obama adviser ... wrote a controversial paper in 2008 proposing that the US government employ teams of covert agents and pseudo-”independent” advocates to “cognitively infiltrate” online groups and websites ... also proposed sending covert agents into “chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups” which spread what he views as false and damaging “conspiracy theories” about the government.

We’re in danger of losing this global commons as it comes under assault from an army of trolls and flacks, many of them covertly organised or trained ... Only a powerful public campaign against state secrecy and private sector deception can thwart the rise of the trolls. This is a bridge we must cross now.

It's not a question if AI can think, it's whether humans will.
From the interviews I've listened to it seems like people were given the impression that the mission of the company was sincere, and that Holmes was gifted at making people feel as if their concerns had been heard and making them feel like the company would be an eventual success.

The film Fyre Fraud might interest you. The subjects discuss how they felt pressured to "make it work" at Fyre Festival (a different fraud) even as they understood the window of possibility was rapidly diminishing.
If the client and server are doing blocking recvs or spinning CPU cores, then it's probably 5-10uS of latency. If they're doing something fancier like select/poll/epoll, it could be more like 50-100uS of latency. A direct function call would presumably be significantly less than 1uS, although it really depends on what the function is doing.
Regulating healthcare seems reasonable to me.

A surgery enthusiast startup for cardiac surgery or a garage side hustle pharmaceutical dispensary do not sound like a good idea.

Yes, regulation costs, and a lot of that is reasonable.

You sign an NDA when you take the job. Going public often opens up the possibility for lawsuits. Plus, a lot of these things are already publicly known, but most people don't think that it affects them:

Just stringing words together does not make you sound as smart as you think it does. Apparently we’ve had the most successful conspiracy in history where telcos have hidden all articles about the internet dying while simultaneously also shielding me from seeing the effects of a dying internet.

The guy lives in Israel, and is making classes in a language he speaks, he's not going to get hoodwinked into paying $3000 an hour captions.

Just because there are offers for $3000 an hour subtitles to businesses with more money than sense doesn't mean he couldn't post this job on one of hundreds of translation markets that would this at thousandths of the cost you quoted.

It's not a long article, but apparently you couldn't be bothered to even skim the one section explaining the exemptions.

But now before you go weaving an new intricate example of how oppressive it is to ask public services to be accessible, let me save you some trouble.

Has anyone known of anyone with long Covid but no vaccine?

I’ve only heard vaccinated friends complain of symptoms.

I wonder how one would even begin to map possible weird interactions like that. Vaccine scientists must be some busy bees
Housekeeping is now largely "upon request" with sometimes a minimum and I absolutely love that. I don't really care for housekeeping everyday, I'll let them know if I need anything. I don't know of any hotel that will refuse to send housekeeping everyday if you request it. You just need to request it.

I've been staying at the same a hotel every few months for the last four years, even during 2020. The last time I checked in instead of saying "let us know when you want housekeeping" like they have for the last 3 years; they started saying "what's your preferred housekeeping interval?" I think that's a better system to ask than question.

The only slight downside for me is that if I'm in a room for a while the toilet paper can start to run low, but that's fixed with a text to the front desk.
Unregulated healthcare sounds terrible. Have you got any sources for examples that have worked?

With price controls, seeing this firsthand, landlords are less incentivized to renovate existing apartments and keep them competitive.

With price controls, there is a limit to how much you can invest in a property to fix it up to attract new tenants.
Now I’m actually curious what the errors where that never got noticed.

I’m sure the keynotes today will never have an error again, save a media server dying mid transcode and even then I’d expect there to be backups.

Now there are, what, six iPads? Not sure how people decide on anything not the cheapest or most expensive. There are four “middle” options.
People who had no clue what videogames were, were the ones arguing that playing a violent video game would make you want to commit actual violence. The counterargument that players made was that they could "tell reality from fiction" - i.e. that when they played Mortal Kombat or Call of Duty, they put their "Real Life" brain away and put on their "Fictional Video Game" brain, so videogames can't make people violent.

This is the right conclusion, but the logic is entirely wrong.

The reason why video games do not cause violence is that play violence is not anywhere close to the real thing, not that people firewall off fiction from reality. There's plenty of cases in which a piece of fiction has changed people's views! Crime shows are notorious for skewing how actual juries rule on cases. Perry Mason[0] taught them to expect dramatic confessions and CSI[1] taught them to weigh whiz-bang forensics over other kinds of evidence.

In the specific case of porn, there isn't really a difference between "play sex" and "real sex": they poke the same regions of your brain. And the people who are responsible for keeping actual pedophiles from reoffending are pretty much unanimous that the worst thing you can do is give them a bunch of, uh... let's call it "material". So if you're already a pedophile, giving you access to simulated CSAM won't substitute for the real thing. It'll just desensitize you to reoffending.

Sweeping generalizations about AI models as a class of objects seem deeply uninformative to me. Perhaps I would even go so far as to say misleading. These days any undergrad can go on GitHub and have a model that does some diagnosis and I don’t understand why we have to group that together with multi-year efforts from groups of PhD’s and MDs working together to produce products.

There’s obviously way more of the first than the second and so if you analyze this group as a whole it’s easy to draw the wrong conclusion about what AI as a technique is capable of.

I can’t give too many details on specific examples I’m working on at Google but an example I’m not working on would be Caption Health who have an amazing AI-based ultrasound guidance product that has great prospective evidence, and several big fans in the clinical community.

There are also several success stories using AI on pathology in order to target clinical trials.

Can you imagine if someone made sweeping statements about webpages as if they were a coherent group of objects that you could sample from and deduce properties? “The information on websites is typically not as accurate as those websites claim”

Yeah, but it all depends on how the "legal rent" is calculated.
> I remember thinking after the first few weeks on my entry-level job that this couldn't possible be the horrible "working world" I have seen relatives complain about all their lives.

I really don't think any job in the honeymoon phase is going to be soul crushing like most people that complain are complaining about. It's when you are at that job for years and you are one or more of the following: underpaid, undervalued, understimulated, hostile work politics, no promotion path, no ownership, micromanaging, irresponsible deadlines, herculean deadlines because of mismanagement, underworked, overworked, etc.

pick your poison but it's almost never apparent when you are a few weeks in what is lacking at said job(if any). I do enjoy going into the office but it does also grind on you when you have to commute every day for a substantial part of it, and you have the monotony of it all.

of course not every job is like that but the ones that are exhibit those traits imo.

Obviously the GPU will be better, but at one point I compared the M1 CPU to other ARM GPUs (in laptops at that time) and found it had both better memory bandwidth and compute throughput, which is quite funny.
The most annoying restriction in this vein is the upvote + favorite in rapid succession. I do those actions in rapid succession all the time, and get the error of doing too many actions too quickly every time.

I'm always looking for a "developer" distro, and POP_OS! feels to be the only one that fits that niche for me.
The easiest way to spot it (at least for me) is to pay attention to how you feel when reading a forum. If you get super pissed off or anxious while reading, there's a chance you're getting screwed with

An example: the other day I read a NYT article that seemed like it was almost designed to be irritating. It was so irritating that I was about to subscribe just to comment on how stupid the author was, but then I realized I had my credit card out. Then I realized that I was the stupid one and put the card away

Forum agitators will almost always go for your emotions (because it scales better). How to solve this? Don't go to online places that fuck with your head. Go to the places that tend to be less emotionally charged, less groupthink oriented, and more boring. I.e. the reuters of social media

> Traditional pension plans should work better than individual retirement investments because they pool participants

I don't see any particular reason why they would. Lots of individuals do much better with their investments than bureaucrats do. Also, there are many "fire and forget" index funds available for those with little investment skill.
Sounds more like they were fired.

Fundamentally, "mass" is nothing other than "confined energy". Whenever you have a mechanism for confining energy (Higgs mechanism; or a force which binds and creates a bound state) the combined package has inertial "mass"; This means: It cannot move at speed of light (c), it can change its speed and it takes energy to change its speed (a "massless" particles does none of this).

The famous thought-experiment in the regard is Einstein's "photons-box": If you could confine a bunch of massless photons (which only have kinetic energy and momentum) inside a (massless) box made out of mirrors, (he argues) the combined package would have "mass", even though the constituents do not (and the emergent "mass" equals E=m c^2 !). In other words, "mass" is an emergent property of the confined ensemble. All of the forces (especially the strong force), create bound-states which are massive and are the exact analogues of this "photon-box".

So the mass of a proton (mostly) comes from the kinetic energy of its confined (by the strong force) constituents (the quarks and gluons).
Thanks for sharing.
My belief is that we need to figure out a way to make humans interact with prediction models in a virtuous way. Prediction models suck at "connecting the dots" or considering multiple sources of information (for example: multiple models predicting different outcomes). Until we get true general artificial intelligence, I think the way to go forward is to try to quantify those unknowns through confidence intervals (conformal prediction seems to be quite nice for many models) plus some multiple hypothesis testing to handle the multiple outcomes / multiple models.

This needs to be then implemented on a real flow where humans and prediction models interact (for example: approve these things automatically, send these other test for humans to revise)
With out knowing much about how payment systems work; why did I never even question if Apple Pay/Google Pay would work when they originally appeared in Canada? I feel like Apple Pay has worked every where tap-to-pay has worked. Is that not the same in the states? As in you need a special Apple Pay compatible POS?
Yeah, I find it's totally as advertised. Charged it up for a flight last week. Worked the whole time. Turned it on in the hotel afterwards and it had 70% left.

Few if any people in an organization will admit that they are not devoted to the goals of the organization, and I think few senior people actually believe they are not devoted to those goals.

Further, it is difficult for many people in an organization to understand the contributions of people working in areas in which they are not expert, and thus it is easy to misunderstand whether they are devoted to the goals of the organization.

So I’m not sure this “Iron Law” can predict anything or help understand anything in a real world situation. It seems to boil to (roughly) “the bastards always win.”

Rental market is not a free market. Is not like if you let the prices go up, you'll have more supply.

There are building permits with harsh rules. The reasons of these permits and rules is to keep the city livable, beautiful and functional.

Since you cannot build freely if left unchecked the prices would go to the sky. And you don't want that because functional city needs working class people, you need nurses, shop attendants, janitors, etc...

Maybe you think city planning and urbanism are bad ideas and that we should let the free market magically solve all the problems.
Dunno why people think that it's funny demonstrating that they don't know that implication is not the same thing as equivalence.
