N5105 Jasper Lake systems do this pretty well. Has a good iGPU, particularly for a low end budget intel chip. Efficient. Has Quick Sync for video.

The laptops use the N6000 chip, N5105 is for the small desktop lines. There is also a more expensive N6005 for desktop.

N6000 is more aggressive in power savings. So higher single thread, lower multi. It also has more silicon dedicated to the GPU, which is about a 25% boost (30 execution units vs 24).

The biggest practical difference I've seen is that 95% of the laptops have fixed memory that tops out at 8GB. HP has one that accepts an SO-DIMM. If this is a reasonable level for the minecraft they do then you should be fine. I know with my kid's systems I had to go up to 12GB because of the mods they like.
I'm not sure that shaking your head and laughing at someone's crazy-talk is "hating" them... Perhaps that's part of the problem.

The only people who would have cis used to "delegitimize" them would be ones who are saying something innacurate about trans people and are being told that they do not have relevant frame of reference for that comment.

This is more common than you think when you get into alleycat races where you're racing for money.
Sorry, I should have been clearer, I thought it'd be evident that I meant the legal understanding that emerged from the constitution, rather than the text itself.

Of course I despise the vitriol spewed on twitter as much as anyone else, but I'd sooner that idiocy be exposed and ridiculed than cede control over acceptable speech to ideologically motivated moderators in the inevitable instances where the ethical lines are blurrier. I realize that's a bit of an antiquated view, and the prevalent opinion is that these people can't be reasoned with and thus shouldn't be platformed, but I truly believe that that cynicism is a greater threat to our liberal institutions than the odd troll or bigot making racist remarks with 25 followers.
Serious question, don’t they all cost about the same amount of money? 35-45k? I understand not comparing an individual 18k Chevy sedan to a 35k BMW sports car. But with regard to price, most EVs seem to be in the same ballpark.
> Legal interpretation of the constitution has also very clearly found that a huge collection of actual literal Nazis marching around shouting "death to jews" at the top of their lungs is a-okay.

Not okay, but not illegal, and better than the alternative i.e. a society without freedom of speech (as the Reich was, or Weimar Germany).
"With real names" is not the same as "in the real world."

There is a massive difference between me seeing a stranger's real name next to a Facebook post about how abortion is evil, and me having a conversation with a good friend of 10 years, or my mom, and it comes up that they're pro-life.

We might have a long debate, but in the end, they're still my friend or family.
> Is it worse to be called a groomer or a Nazi? I guess, if you're twitter, it's worse to call a leftist a groomer than it is to call a conservative a Nazi. @NYCAntifa clearly gets away with the latter!

I can see why you are being downvoted, but I've been observing this trend lately too. Its popular on some social media sites to call half of the country nazis or at least nazi sympathizers.

Neither side has clean hands, but this vilification is extremely harmful.
I think he's actually said both of these things.

>The article is not even especially mean hearted

The article is saying that Levine's entire gender identity is a lie. You honestly don't see anything mean spirited about that?

Levine is a random bureaucrat that no one in the public would know the name of if she wasn't trans. By singling her out, conservative media and the Babylon Bee are encouraging people to harass her for no other reason than her transness.
It's not lone wolf terrorism though, it's an organized + well funded movement to end US democracy. They control a bit over 50% of the Republican party, and a growing percentage of the courts (including the supreme court).

Heck; Biden is would be considered right wing in most developing countries, and here's his take:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/20...

> Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.

Now, I want to be very clear — (applause) — very clear up front: Not every Republican, not even the majority of Republicans, are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology.

I know because I’ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans.

But there is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven, and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.

These are hard things.

But I’m an American President — not the President of red America or blue America, but of all America.

And I believe it is my duty — my duty to level with you, to tell the truth no matter how difficult, no matter how painful.

And here, in my view, is what is true: MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people.

They refuse to accept the results of a free election. And they’re working right now, as I speak, in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself.

Musk specifically has described himself as one several times. On a less public note, I run into people online describing themselves as such fairly frequently as well
tbh you don't require 7k employees to run something like twitter. there's a lot of dead ballast there and as a private company you can't allow for that.

> If he can simply wait for Twitter to be worth as much as he paid for it, so that he can sell it again and cover his losses, that will be a fairly good outcome.

This is a leveraged buyout.

That means that $13 Billion was borrowed from Morgan Stanley to make this deal happen, and Twitter is the owner of that debt. Estimates are ~$1.3 Billion / year in interest payments (the most risky $3 Billion is unsecured loans, expected to be CCC-rated, and CCC-rated debt is around 16% right now). So I think 10% is a reasonable estimate for what this financing will cost.

In 2021, Twitter made... _NEGATIVE_ 200-million bucks.

So... yeah. Add $1.3 Billion of interest payments on top of that, and I think we got a problem here folks. Another note: TWTR's revenue (mostly advertisements) is $5 Billion/year. I really dunno where they're gonna find $1.3 Billion/year from.

-----

What Musk bought here is a white elephant. It will cost tons of money just to stay afloat, let alone "make money" or even "retain value". If Elon Musk holds onto this and "only" loses a few dozen billion over the next few years, I think he'd have done a good job. I have no expectation that TWTR will remain a $44 Billion company over the next decade. Selling the company off for $20 Billion 5 years from now (IE: a $24 Billion loss) would be a herculean effort as it is IMO.

I think one reasonable policy could be "form a council of diverse viewpoints and only ban someone if they all (or mostly all) agree the person should be kicked off" and another reasonable policy could be "form a council fo diverse viewpoints and ban someone if one (or a couple) think the person should be kicked off.

I think its fair to say the committee will end up being a scapegoat - but to be charitable to the idea in general its pretty clear that not 100% or even 75% of the population thinks that Babylon Bee should be banned. If you have a system where one voice on the committee can ban someone then most liberal comedians would be banned for played up reasons, too.

That comparison is invalid because those companies don't commit their purported harm on Twitter. Same with government officials. Even Kim Jong Un has a Twitter account https://twitter.com/official_kju

The "teenager" (or billionaire influencer) dropping racial slurs and either targeted or broad threats uses social media as the method of the harm they inflict. Mainstream social media companies are concerned with their platforms being used for harm.

Why not? In my country, these opinions are uttered so openly and commonly that it does not even raise an eyebrow. Infact these are cherished religious beliefs, even.

Yet, there are viewpoints that would be considered so utterly innocent in the west as to be as unnoticeable as punctuation, that have led to actual mob violence and lynchings, and I am talking this decade, not some old era bygones.

Such speech is considered equivalent to yelling "Fire" in an open theater, to use a common internet retort on free speech, because of the effect it has on the masses, and we have laws on blasphemy specifically for this.

Pretty sure if i post parts of the anarchist cookbook i'll be banned in less than an hour.

Explaining how to make a sniper from a commercial rifle and how to find 5.56 AP from military surplus got a friend banned from FB. It was either that or the following post about a chemical company CEO car plates and usual tour. Luckily he lives deep into the woods, so according to him (through his friends), FBI agents waited for three days near his postal box before just leaving a mail asking him for an audition. Didn't get charged, but lost his FB account. It made organizing my trip to the US hell, as Messenger was at the tine the best way to reach him.

I'm still bummed to have learned that despite the lower killing potential, the NRA still don't fight for sniper rifles and commercial true AP rounds (you can still get AP for rifle with a lead core, which will go through bodyarmor btw, but nothing to go through a Limo :/). It feels like it goes against the second amendment.
> The default is something like 25%

Default withholding has been 22% now for a few years. I bring this up because the gap between default withholding and the higher marginal rates has widened compared to the years it was at 25%.

> Yet, base comp tends to be withheld at marginal rates

To clarify, default withholding on base pay uses your bottom tax rates. It assumes you have no other income, so it will calculate based on standard deduction, 10%, 12%, then working upwards. So I wouldn't use the word "marginal" to refer to base pay because most people understand that as their top tax rates.

This means that for bonus, stock, and other compensation, it's reasonable to increase withholding to reflect the top tax rates.

> most folks’ effective tax rates

A bit of an aside, but I'm not a big fan of the idea of "effective tax rates". It's not a term the IRS uses, but something that tax software companies like to push for whatever reason. You also can't do much with it in practice: regarding withholding, it's not useful and potentially confusing.

Maintainers are the people who are involved reasonably consistently for the long term, and also do the un-sexy work of tracking down the (sometimes difficult) bugs people report, triage the (unclear) issues people report, deal with generic support requests, and all of that.

I doubt that actually. I've got Starlink because I despise Comcast. They're my only wired option, even though I live in a largish city. I realize it's possible I'm an outlier, but on the other hand a lot of other people really hate Comcast too. I even had fiber at my old house and really liked it, but it's just not an option where I currently live, and I'd rather use satellite internet than pay for more fiber to be laid.

The relative ease of throwing up a few satellites and selling internet across the globe vs digging trenches to each and every residence make me think it's going to be a very popular internet option very soon.

Twitter has always been poorly run. They've only been profitable two out of the last 10 years despite user growth.

2012: $79MM loss

2013: $645MM loss

2014: $577MM loss

2015: $521MM loss

2016: $456MM loss

2017: $108MM loss

2018: $1206MM gain

2019: $1466MM gain

2020: $1136MM loss

2021: $221MM loss

Given billions in accumulated losses, where else did you think twitter was, other than in the ground? It certainly wasn't in the sky.

It's not (just) a low-level synchronization problem, though; it's a larger structural problem. Simple example: If someone has a reference to your function that free()s some pointer, and your function has been replaced with an inert no-op, that pointer is no longer freed when it should be, and you have a memory leak. Extrapolate this to more complex code.

Put another way, assume that you solve low-level threadsafety/data race issues. You still have to design the library from the start to be unloadable; you can't unload code that isn't expecting to be unloaded without undesirable side effects.

No, we don't. This is not an yes/no answer. This is the type of question that should be answered in terms of confidence intervals.

> right wing tweets actually got promoted more

In relation to what? What is a "right wing" tweet? What is a "left wing" tweet?

E.g, if the algorithm is focused on filtering out disparaging extreme messages, and it ends up filtering X amount of "non-extreme right wing content", 3X of "extreme right-wing content" and 5X of "extreme left-wing content", it satisfies the claim that "it promotes more right-wing content" while also silencing conservative voices.
cool and thanks, but that's what Musk has said he wants to do and just sharing some thoughts/ideas around that.

You don't have to use it, but many others who desire a simplest user experience for X will and that's a money maker I believe. A way to reap his investment and then some.
This is going to be an interesting claim considering that he's pro letting Trump back on the platform.

That guy, despite being the president, repeatedly said things that got other people banned with their rules. Some how other leaders claimed this was a said day that he finally got punished for it.
Let's avoid disinfo. Neither account was banned to begin with. Both accounts were restricted, which could be lifted after the user deletes the offending tweet. It's overwhelmingly likely Musk had nothing to do with either case (and he said so himself).

The end result of their work is to increase the power and success of a surveillance company, one of the most successful and powerful surveillance companies in the world if not the most, so how could they possibly not be involved or morally responsible? They don't exist in a vaccuum where their work is magically independent of their employer. This is typically the sort of cognitive dissonance I'm trying to highlight.
