I agree that q-tips are next to useless but, there's a much better solution. In Japan, instead of q-tips, they use little (very little) bamboo spoons that are super effective at scooping out ear wax. They are about no more prone to mistakes than q-tips. Check out the Japanese specialty store near you, you'll never go back to q-tips.
seriously, the other poster never stops to consider that the reason people like this CEO are drawing a line in the sand is BECAUSE of people like this poster are running around drawing such conclusions from something as lik a pride flag.

What next, is this poster going to take a flamethrower to the anthill in their backyard? Lets see how well that works.
One interesting implication of this is that language is not something separate in the brain.

It is a higher level abstraction over the existing processes and reuses all of the existing machinery. So our conception of the word tree would translate to other animals brains directly, they just lack the higher level abstractions of language, consciousness, and understanding that others think and communicate.

So the additional nodes collected under the “tree” node (or nodes) would be cleared and repurposed because it’s useless information to the other animal.
It was preventable without nuclear too, so I don't see why it would have made a difference.
He also had to go out of his way to make sure that “improve emacs ergonomics” is conflated with “change everything we’ve ever done to be VS Code”. Which has been the standard refrain any time the topic of improving onboarding for new people comes up.

The guy is walking hyperbole, I will never understand why so many people idolize him.
... at least they did not reply to you that "no, you can't take this home - gotta reverse it here"
To be honest, this is an upsetting mentality. Any reason for your extremely low opinion of academics?
So the video ends with him asking for questions, which presumably he himself answers... are those posted somewhere?

Even worse, many locals still celebrate the thought leaders behind some of the genocidal activities in Ukraine.
> The factories in Arizona will be partially subsidized by the U.S. government.

It would more accurate to say: The foreign-owned factories in Arizona will be partially subsidized by the the American taxpayers.

It's also interesting that this press release reprint (?) makes no mention of news jobs created, how well paying those jobs might be, or any other promised economic benefit. Maybe it safe to presume it's mostly robots and that Apple and TSMC will be the biggest winners.

The 80s escort in the US was SMALL. It definitely was not mid-size.
methinks evil needs to stay really super bad and not lighten to "does something I don't agree with".

Are they doing it because of those reasons? Maybe.

Should they really be in the same category as Epstein and Dahmer? methinks no, so maybe lighten up on the language there.
$120-150k??

That's insanely below market
Uh, drug dealing is a very competetive field, especially as a large number of participants are "amateurs" hustling to get high themselves. Meth is rarely "recooked" or cut in the same ways as crack/powder coke/heroin, but there are generally a few sources of different stuff in any area.
"That's not because of the language itself. I don't know the JavaScript language, I've heard people say it's rather clumsy and not well designed, but I don't know this. In any case, it's not what my views are based on."

He's pretty clear in the, what, 2 minutes tops?, that he spends on the topic.

The complaints here mostly seem to be "I don't like RMS so I'm going to overstate some complaints about what I've decided he said instead of what he actually said."

It's wild.
Astronomers could, for example, demand that any paper citing a result also cite the proposal that generated the enabling data. In this way, the proposal team could still accrue credit for its work, even if it wasn’t the first to publish.

Of all the ideas mentioned in the article, this sounds the most reasonable to me at first blush. IANAA though, so it's hard to get a sense of how big a deal it is to propose an observation. I would think the details of the proposal would matter a lot, no? That is, some observations are probably ones that more or less everybody sees as desirable, and there wouldn't be much "credit" to be earned from proposing those?

I'd also be curious to know more about the extent to which it is likely that analyzing a particular bit of data is only likely to lead to one particular conclusion (that being whatever the proposing team had in mind). That versus the likelihood of, say, Team A proposing the observation to look for X, and then Team B coming and and finding Q (which has little or nothing to do with X).

Any astronomers in the crowd here feel like chiming in?
> biking being the default would be a blood bath

The theory I've heard is that cyclists being on the road is only a problem when it's the exception. When it's rare, motorists aren't expecting it and are driving in a way that doesn't accommodate it.

If cycling were "the default," motorist behavior would be very different because everyone would be expecting it.
On-die CPU caches typically use SRAM. Modern DRAM chips are already die-stacked in several layers. But maybe DRAM is more heat sensitive than SRAM, so more difficult to stack atop a stronger heat source?
What kind of constraints are you under, or what are you trying to optimize for? In many circumstances that wouldn't be considered a lot of data. Is low bandwidth the issue? If so, physical sharing the hard drive, or even mailing a usb hard drive makes sense. How valuable is the data and how much is your time worth?
Patients have easily 20-30 codes per one hospital visit / one bill and ordering matters so sadly quadrillions may be an underestimate.
Absolutely; but I think this new "feature" is the most pure crystallization I've ever seen of the inefficiency inherent to big tech.

Most people who read this press release would probably respond: Woah, that's how pricing on the app store works? Devs can't just set whatever price they want? The natural and totally reasonable followup question should be: Why? There are: reasons! There aren't no legitimate reasons why it is how it is (exchange rates is probably the most legitimate one). But the most significant illegitimate reason why is undeniably: momentum. This is how the system works; this is how the people proximate to the system, internally and externally, understand it to work. We linearly extrapolate how the system works today, to how we want it to work; fill in the gaps on the number line.

That extrapolation is genuinely where the inefficiency bloat of big tech comes from. Kyla Scanlon recently did a great economics-focused summary of big tech's "predator problem", born from decades of extremely low interest rates [1], which I think covers the situation really well. Apple & the App Store haven't had a predator. There has been no pressure for them to become more efficient; to rethink the platform from fundamentals; so you end up with teams whose task was to linearly extrapolate the wrong thing. It probably took many people; a long time; and there are almost definitely extremely smart on-call engineers right now biting their fingernails hoping it works. Its entirely the wrong thing; but it was the easier thing over alternatives without the natural pressure of a predator to add weight to the right thing.

When software & systems become sufficiently large, changes become difficult. Predators prey on an inability to change, but big tech hasn't had a predator to do this.

Snap is crazy, man. It's not just pornographic content. Back in high school, kids used to just openly sell drugs on that platform. Snap stories very blatantly selling weed, lsd, shrooms, cocaine, etc. I was honestly appalled at the time but apparently police never picked up on the situation. I imagine that things are even more intensified today, if anything.
I can only imagine this breeding lobsters that are more effective at evading the traps.
Why not run the DNS check directly from your server instead of going through an API? Would definitely be cheaper.
Is the environmental impact actually significant enough to warrant consideration in this circumstance? I see environmental impact talked about a lot when it comes to mining operations but I don't think anyone outside activists cares if the area around a mining operation is impacted as long as a town isn't poisoned or something else with human impact and usually the "environmental impact" is just the local ecology and the emissions involved. People expect the area around a mine to not be very nice.
Subjectivity is fine, as long as there is a well-defined subject. In this case, its the individual or small group of admins with ultimate say in their instance. The nice thing about federation is that if you don't like the rules of your current instance, leaving is easy. If an instance doesn't like the rules of another instance, they can refuse to federate with them.
run voice through 3 models, when one model is different than the other two then throw it away.

problems abound with that approach, but I could envision it.
> Fly ash uranium sometimes leaches into the soil and water surrounding a coal plant, affecting cropland and, in turn, food. People living within a "stack shadow"—the area within a half- to one-mile (0.8- to 1.6-kilometer) radius of a coal plant's smokestacks—might then ingest small amounts of radiation. Fly ash is also disposed of in landfills and abandoned mines and quarries, posing a potential risk to people living around those areas. [1]

Cool. Now explain what happens in the ground water around Kadapa or Rossing or Kakadu. Nuclear waste is very much an issue, you're just trying to focus on the stuff you have a vague plan for rather than no plan.

Noone is suggesting more coal. They're suggesting renewables which are faster, cheaper, less centralized, less dependent on oligopolies and hostile foreign actors, more able to be deployed in unstable regions, just as safe, less polluting, produce less non-radioactive waste, and use fewer materials.
Simply asking for a price estimate for a very non urgent screening a few years ago got me a reaction from the people at front desk that was somewhere between flabbergasted and suspecting I must be broke.

You quote the word “evil”, but RMS did not use that word.

If you actually listen to (or read) what he said, he explains it quite well:

“Emacs is supposed to defend your freedom. It's supposed to help you to defend your freedom, and lead you to defend your freedom, which means it shouldn't lead you to throw your freedom away as soon as you visit a site that tries to send you a non-free program to run straight off of that other machine. So it's important not to lead users to do computing this way.”

I.e. if Emacs were to run JavaScript, people would use Emacs as a web browser, which would make Emacs help users run various privacy-invading JavaScript software.
In terms of risk and unknowns, no.

Which is basically my point. They charged me a lot for a test that de-risked them (and ruled out much further effort on my case) and then charged me more because they ordered it. I suppose in the case it didn't give them a definitive answer it might be more complicated.
> The problem comes not from the language JavaScript, but from the fact that browsers, by default, will pull in JavaScript code that gets sent to them and run it to do anything at all. Emacs is supposed to defend your freedom. It's supposed to help you to defend your freedom, and lead you to defend your freedom, which means it shouldn't lead you to throw your freedom away as soon as you visit a site that tries to send you a non-free program to run straight off of that other machine. So it's important not to lead users to do computing this way.

I don't know how this is related to extending Emacs with JavaScript, but it's more or less correct about how JavaScript works in the browser (modulo "anything at all" being "anything at all in the browser sandbox"). If you only want to run free software, you necessarily must disable JS in your browser.
Or, as I believe Japan does, dictate what a procedure costs.
When I see electric longboards in the city I am using astounded at the risky maneuvers done by the operators. While I am sure it is a lot of fun, the through of dealing with the serious inconvenience of a broken arm or wrist puts me well off.

The same can be said of the vastly-overpowered e-scooters that seem to be popular where I live (far larger than the usual Segway style e-scooters). All the speed of a small motorcycle (60 km/h+), with far less ability to brake or survive minor potholes.
I don't need another process. I can use a thread.

If the teams you are talking about never heard of threads and only know about microservices, then there is something seriously wrong with their CS education. Maybe they all were hired via leetcode. That could explain it.

I'm not confounding anything. Distributed programming has its applications and uses, but if you don't have a good reason to use it, then don't, and use a thread in a single process for background processing.
If I just want to play with this as a toy without any performance considerations, is it possible to run this on a CPU only? Or do I need to faf about with getting CUDA and that nonsense running?
I appreciate the gesture but I’m actually not sure it’s useful to read articles like this - the cops just do whatever they want. Constitutional law is a useless thing to study under the Gorsich(sp? On my phone) court.

The way it is now, if you set things up they have nothing on you legally, they move to questioning your sanity.

I actually just had someone try to send a crisis team into my home out of false concern because they couldn’t engineer an excuse to send the police.

It’s worse in a way, since there’s less case law about that than interactions with the police.

(With an added bonus that now my neighbors think I’m insane since that interaction is very visible, and on my end I feel like there’s a set of people who have zero incentive to let me be independent and healthy when they make more money if I’m in their care, to the point I’m considering emigration since I always was happy outside the USA and most of these behaviors and interactions don’t happen to me in places like London, Paris, Amsterdam etc in the past… not just because you are on holiday but because it’s truly a different, more respectful culture and I regret not getting on a plane before these thugs extorted my emergency fund away then started bullying me.
The background process is just threads in the monolith, that's not a microservice. That a different pod running the same code might pick up the async task doesn't make it less of a monolith either.
Let's get some perspective. It's a 17 minute talk, of which he spent less than 2.5 minutes on JS. People shouldn't be so irritable.
It's funny you say that because we had this conversation just last weekend. I think it's fair to say we're seriously considering it now because we're both extremely unhappy here.

Obviously we don't want to leave though because at the end of the day this is our home and it will always be where the people we love are. But I think we both agree we're getting to the point where we really have no choice if we want the live the life we want.

Honestly the main blocker is just that the kids in my family have really crappy parents (most are prostitutes, drug dealers, or drug addicts) so we kind of act as parents. They're my family and I love them, but they're honestly the worst parents anyone could possibly have. In recent years we've had kids get falsely diagnosed with various illnesses, get expelled from school, have various dental issues, get trouble with the law, drug abuse, etc. We basically have act as the adults and be there for them because no one else is. If they have parent teacher days, it's not the parents who go, it's us. If they're suck on homework we're the ones who help them. If they're being drugged, we're the ones who step in to stop it. And it's the smaller things that I think are important, like when they're boasting about their dad stealing them a bike for their birthday, explain why that's wrong, just dumb stuff like that.

But still, I think we both know we shouldn't be this involved, but if we don't we know we'll fail them. So you know, it's hard...

Recently though my girlfriend suggested it could work if she could come home once month just to keep an eye on things, but I think that might turn out more difficult that it sounds. If we're needed, we're needed. We can't wait until the end of the month to catch a flight.
I have spent more time screwing with cmake than learning multiple other (actually useful) languages that I am an expert at.

I have built cmake systems from scratch and replaced others with vanilla make. I am currently stuck dealing with a cmake project that would make all of Byzantium blush.

I agree that cmake is terrible. The more I learn to use it properly, the more I hate it.

In addition:

If you think cmake is solving any problems that vanilla make does not handle better, then either (1) you don't understand how to build and package software, or (2) haven't spent an hour or two reading the gnu make manual and "recursive make considered harmful".
Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C., Nov. 9, 2021 - TSMC (TWSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM) and Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (“SSS”) today jointly announced that TSMC will establish a subsidiary, Japan Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing, Inc. (“JASM”), in Kumamoto, Japan to provide foundry service with initial technology of 22/28-nanometer processes to address strong global market demand for specialty technologies, with SSS participating as a minority shareholder.

> the likelihood of becoming infected may rise with the size of that "dose."

This is correct.

> So a small dose might still prime the immune system even if you don't get sick.

This does not follow.

If you don't get infected following a small dose, you'll have fought it off with your innane or intrinsic defenses. You won't generate any humoral immunity, form T-cells or B-cells or neutralizing antibodies and won't be any better off for the next round with the virus.
If you want SSE/AVX, I wrote that article couple years ago:

I think when people measure speedups here they deduct the first 100%, e.g. if I used to be able to process 10 items per second and can now process 20 items per second you can run 200% as fast but it's a 100% speedup.
I agree that would be ideal, but realistically there's usually a pretty big power imbalance between someone seeking a job and a potential employer. I'd say that how ethical it is varies depending on the company. For example, Jimmy Johns has non-compete agreements. Someone working at Jimmy Johns has 0 ability to negotiate that. Are they unethical if they quit after a year or so to go work at Subway? I would say obviously not, maybe you'd think they are.

I'm sure you're thinking "but we're talking about software jobs where people have a lot more choice and bargaining power", which is definitely the case, hence why I mentioned that it depends on the company. On the most unethical end of contract violation I'd put the small startup that treats its people right and on the other end I'd put Walmart.
Technically, elisp can do the same.
Perhaps:

* Take the first 90 results.

* Send the email, wait some specified time (Perhaps 75th percentile of time of how long it took to get the first 90 results)

* Apply Bayes Theorem if there are new replies

and move on.

Alternatively, having someone go physically TALK to students in quads and cafeterias will probably generate a higher quality of data. I'm guilty of it myself, but sometimes after a negative experience, I'm apt to just leave a 1-star review when it should really be a 3 or 4, out of spite. I think the internet has the inhibition-removing quality that encourages these behaviors, whereas if someone outside the store or whatever just asked me "Hey, how was your experience?" I'd have probably said, "Oh, it was alright, just wish they'd had the sauce I always order, I had to get something different."

But anyhow. It's probably C.
Yes, it runs fine on your computer.

Oh boo hoo. He had affairs and yelled and was a shitty boss. These Hollywood types have no idea what it's like in the real world where bosses are mean. Where you need to work a shit job to make sure your family is fed.

If they indeed ordered a valuation for the whole plot as they did with the environmental assessment, it explains both the "£1M+ independent valuation", the £7k sale, and what the actual piece of land is.

> i can get an Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 for 300€ less in Bulgaria compared to France

This is insane. What prevents grey market arbitrage? Why wouldn't hardware from the country where hardware is cheapest immediately get posted on the local equivalent of eBay in the country where it is most expensive?

In any case I had no idea hardware margins were so squishy. For software, yes, profits are maximized by reducing unit prices where incomes are lower (since otherwise you won't sell any), but that's enabled by the fact that the marginal cost of unit production is very nearly zero and you're still making money even if you sell it for 25% of the rich-country price. That's obviously not the case for a laptop
Why would I do that? ;-)
Why? Just curious. I've found the JVM to be surprisingly stable and great to work with.
Emacs is already able to display different fonts in various sizes and styles within the same buffer:

I imagine that he simply wants this used to enable Emacs to be able to edit rich text in a WYSIWYG style.
I wondered the same thing. Quite strange that both the author and ChatGPT made the same mistake.
I assume "brakeless" means it energizes the motors in reverse when you pull the brake lever. Just no friction brakes. Not a system I would personally use, I don't trust electronics that much.

Not sure why a makefile is so bad.. it’s just a file generation tool which can check out-of-date files and specify dependencies by pointing out which input files are needed for an output.

I use the guest Wi-Fi strategy with the company computer isolated from the rest of my network, thinking mostly about my own privacy.

I can't do much in terms of personal usage of my company issued laptop (MacBook M1 Max Pro), so I never use it for anything personal, and even stuff like +1 a comment on a public GitHub repository for a random opensource project that we might use and that I discover while working I prefer to just reopen the link with my personal computer and do so. I've no personal accounts for anything whatsoever configured on my machine.

I don't think this should be the default for everyone, though. These limitations depends on the industry you're in, and your actual security risks/exposure.
