Because the people who vote (R) have different values, and a different worldview than the people who vote (D). They seem to deny that a government can do anything, deny that racism is still a problem affecting millions of americans every day, deny that healthcare should be a basic human right, deny that free markets inevitably centralize power structures and create monopolies, deny that average americans are broadly underpaid, deny that authority figures they like should face justice etc etc.

They also typically claim something like "I'm just voting for gun rights" or other very specific carve outs, but if you press them on other things they usually seem perfectly happy to tell you that they think the world is woke and that we need a strongman and all sorts of classic conservative talking points.

Another reason is the religious angle. Millions of americans are enthusiastically, extremely christian, at least as claimed. This includes things like denying that evolution happens, denying the world is more than 6000 years old, sometimes denying that jesus was a white man!, denying that the US is not a christian theocracy, often denying that the new testament supersedes the old testament, sometimes denying women individual rights as free and equal people in society, etc etc etc. Look up the numbers of people who believe in these things.
CIA likely hidden in plain sight so you wouldn't figure out their Tor node. Likely hosted in some DC rest of USA also uses, for example a colo or dedicated at Rackspace.

As for Snowden you just described a burner however he would still need to find or know that open WiFi hotspot.
I love my M1 MacBook Pro but wowzer, these laptops are getting expensive.
Here's an example of living with the light phone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7G1pWYVtBg

Honestly I think using an Android phone with minimal apps, or having two profiles, one for work, one for play/weekends makes the most sense. And on iPhone using screen time to force your grip from app vices makes more sense than the self punishment of these phones.

That said my ADHD makes me want to buy one of these https://skysedge.com/unsmartphones/RUSP/index.html
Same as before. Possibly a small touch better.

Cores are still identical, M2P just has 2 more E cores compared to M1P so in some edge cases it should behave a touch better.
Why is it bad in server to client?
It's in everyone's best interest that roads, especially main ones, remain open

Specifically the current 'protests', be it blocking roads or criminal damage, do not serve any constructive purpose at all. They are carried out by the 'usual suspects'. They could organise a massive gathering in Hyde Park (and similar in towns throughout the country), for example, that would get huge media coverage as well without causing problems, ah but that wouldn't be 'direct revolutionary action'...
Add a responsive API on top of that and on-prem deployment capabilities and you'll absolutely put a few startups out of business.
Why would you do that? Just to get to sleep easier? There are other, better ways.
That case isn't completely deterministic the way stack is: for the stack you just shift the SP which is constant time, while heap allocation and deallocation require manipulation of a small database, possibly including a system call.

This is a bit of hair splitting I admit.
>smoking has no meaningful affect unless you're already addicted

This isn't true. I started smoking socially in the summer and nicotine absolutely gives you a head rush and relaxing feelings. It also suppresses my appetite quite a bit. I found if I just ate and I'm full and then smoke a cigarette it makes me want to throw up.

And on the topic of fun, it is a social thing and you meet all kinds of interesting people by smoking. It's such a great ice breaker at the bar to meet people.

I gave it up because it's winter and I don't go out to bars as much. Plus it's cold and I have no desire to go outside and smoke anyways. I'll definitely pick it up socially again next summer though, it was one of the best summers of my life.
In woo land with my homies Poincaré, Gödel, etc. It's almost like the bedrock of knowledge is a deep philosophical question that every discipline strikes sooner or later, once they start digging. There really should be a word for it.
How do you know this stuff? My old 2014 MacBook Pro has the battery swelling up. I can’t afford more than a few hundred to fix everything. It’s a 2nd comp I use for a remote coworking Zoom session all day.

I could have the same problems. I’ve never cleaned the laptop either..heh. I am a programmer so I am not afraid of hardware.
They even have certified Level 3 already, which Tesla is still beta testing.
Yes?

When you take a screenshot, its contents are known and fixed.

When you regularly and automatically refresh a screenshot of a particular x/y coordinate part of a specific screen on a website, what happens when "positive customer interactions" gets moved, and "internal notes on this customer, not for sharing with them" gets put in that spot?
The approach you describe has the problem that it's asking majority people about the experiences of minority folks -- for instance, if you ask a statistically significant sample of the population about what it is like to be a trans man, you are going to either a) have to spend a TON of effort to interview a trans masc population, or b) going to be asking a bunch of people who have no idea what it is like.

And it gets worse. For instance, trans men have a totally different experience in rural vs coastal America vs Europe vs Africa. To get an AI who can speak confidently on what it is like to be trans male in those places will require even more interviews.

An that's before we get into set intersection territory. Take a simple example of being gay or straight, Black or white. Each of them is separately a unique experience. But being gay and white in America is very different from being gay and Black in America -- the two identities create 4 different intersections.

Now, you could say, "My AI simply will not speak about the experience of gay Black men, and the challenges/perspectives from that community", but then you've introduced a bias.

You could say, "Well, we'll go out and interview people from every set then, make sure we're covering everyone!" But where then do you stop sampling? Each additional modifier adds exponential complexity -- gay Black men from New Orleans will have a different experience from gay Black men from Lagos.
Yeah, that’s not my preference, and I haven’t seen a team do it.
trans rights and women's rights are not in conflict (except in the minds of people who are trying to create conflict). this law was about allowing an informed-consent model for name/gender-marker changes, which is the recommended approach for these things as it places the least burden on the people who need such a thing.

They probably don't want it to cannibalize the Studio. Then again the price of a maxed out 32GB mini is the same as base Mac Studio (with the same amount of memory).
Would anyone have a clearer wording for this part - I don't get it at all? "Then, we rescan that map. It's the same as the basic scan, but we use whatever values happen to be in the map already."
This was a very thoughtful piece. I appreciate the honest discussion of the struggle between giving up great apps for the sake of being distraction free. I've looked into the light phone but there's no support for Spotify, which is a big detractor for. I believe they added basic map functionality, but no streaming music is hard as my taste has exceeded my personal digital library
Microsoft has done a great job, don't get me wrong.

My question is still legit: is there an (relatively) unbiased third-party that tracks bugs across major OS releases? Is that a bad question to ask?

Also as I understand the newer batteries doesn't have cobalt from Congo mined with child slavery. So that is a big plus.

This seems a lot like using mobility scooters to solve public transportation problems. The solution is municipal composting. In my city all food an lawn scraps go to a compost bin that's picked up and processed by the city
You can, but honestly, if you can afford 24GB, go for it. Remember that unlike in the Intel days, the GPU uses main memory for its RAM. (Well, I guess integrated Intel GPUs did some of that, too.) That can be painful when you've got a few clips in the timeline and some plug-in wants to have multiple copies of each frame for doing its processing. (Like it applies a blur, then mixes that with the original, or whatever.) I have a 16GB MacMini I sometimes edit video on, and it works, but there are times when things get choppy/slow. I also have a Studio with 64GB, and it's smooth as butter. (I mean it's possible to load it up so it slows down, but it takes a lot more to do so.)
There's no reason to apply such an implication. This was a tech demo! No one ever claimed that was something production cars could currently do at the time, nor would that make any sense, as the cars clearly did not do that at the time.

An article from the time clearly interprets it as a tech demo: https://electrek.co/2016/10/20/watch-tesla-new-full-self-dri...
I am unable to find any information on GCE having diskless now. Everything I see when I search is from 2013 (ten years ago) but nothing on the GCE site.

Not clear what 'diskless' means in this situation anyway.
Fair enough, I wasn’t aware they’d made so much progress. I was under the impression it was still a proof of concept and people were glossing over a lot of issues.

I guess that’s the benefit of only having to target a very small amount of hardware, it saves time for improving other things.

I remember preferring Linux on PPC to Linux on intel laptops years ago. Apple PPC laptops tended to “just work” with Linux in my experience.
Sounds similar to what I mentioned in comments a couple months ago, about science organizations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33673259

(I'm not familiar with DoE sites. And I actually had a good experience (other than the pay), as a high-end federal consultant doing challenging technical work, reporting to operations research PhDs at the Director level, who respected what I could do. Where I've seen and heard of problems is other places.)
Which is why when the newest generation largely voted against the republican party, they chose to soften their image, come closer to the center in social issues, and broadly try and reach out to these younger voters....

Wait no, that's exactly what they didn't do. They went on fox, yelled that these new kids were dumb and woke and don't know how the world works (that's sure ironic) and yelled that the voting age should be raised.
The developer portal in fact says that the developer is going to be mailed with details about the suspension they received on Friday, and they never got an email.
The reason that this won't work in the end is that they will reduce headcount once they understand the technology and then we'll be hanging out permanently. Factory workers didn't get extra time in the break room when robots were implemented to speed up the assembly line. They got replaced permanently.

1. NATO expansion isn't driven by US imperialism. We aren't conquering countries and forcing them to join; they are asking to join - and not because we're tying a big aid package to NATO membership. They're joining because they're worried about Russian imperialism.

2. You say it's accepting propaganda to see Putin as weak. But you see him as being pushed into war by the US. That's not something that happens to someone who is strong.

3. "As it is a strategic move to have russia use up its arms fighting a neighbor rather than the US."

Absolutely. More: It's to NATO's advantage to have Russia use up its arms fighting a non-NATO-member.
Yeah, I can see that. All sorts of things would be taboo in order to avoid communication which could lead to litigation of one sort or another.

It'll certainly dampen the 'take this job and shove it' options on people's last day if they can add it to internal comms tools. Also would keep employees from saying the wrong things to colleagues and external contacts, as well as curtail exfiltration. "Mick, you don't want to send that email with company confidential information to your personal account; your attempt has been recorded and is viewable by HR"
Sure, but the claim is:

> creators can work on scenes so large that PC laptops can’t even run them

You can't open a 40GB scene entirely in GPU RAM on any single-GPU system, laptop or otherwise, because there aren't any 40GB+ GPUs.

But you can open a 40GB Octane demo scene with out-of-core loading enabled on a Windows laptop with 64GB of RAM. Hell, Otoy has a demo from 2018 of a Windows system loading and editing that "worst-case" 40GB scene entirely out-of-core at 60fps.[1]

So the suggestion is that the M2 is doing it without enabling out-of-core loading because all system RAM is in-core. Which is cool, and something Otoy's CEO was boasting on the M1 MBP's release day two years ago.[2]

So why bother going through the motions of benchmarking anything like this against 2+-year-old systems, just to make a claim the M1 also made, just less precisely?

"The occurrence of conjoined twins is rare. Its actual prevalence is unknown, but it is estimated to range from 1:50,000 to 1:200,000" [1]. 1 in 200,000 would raise it to 99.9995%. But as pointed again and again in the other comments, the pointless, hyperbolic figure is irrelevant. When cutting the planarian worm head, the regeneration is always, 100% a head, if no change in the bioelectrical gradients. The argument was about the deterministic computation done by biology in the morphospace.

>they're still roughly a similar ball park

The PC industry uses wildly inflated prices, especially MSRP. A more realistic price for laptops can be found on various deal sites. A comparable Dell, Lenovo, or HP laptop will cost about .5-.6 of the equivalent macbook pro price. The vast majority of laptops, even after accounting for 1-2 TB of storage and 32 GB RAM cost less than $1.5k. MBPs start around $2k.
I literally work for an automotive OEM and have worked in computer vision for over a decade. Nice links to engineering blogs written by my colleagues.

You are a moron and I seem to have struck a nerve. Hello, salty Tesla owner or engineer.
GNOME and KDE are desktop environments, not operating systems.

Linux (probably the operating system you mean) performs terribly when there is no available memory. Solaris run (ran?) GNOME and was also excellent when there was low memory

Why force people to build software more efficiently? Because I have a desktop with 64G of ram and it is doing the same thing my desktop from 2008 was doing, only a few more pixels, a few less animations and a whole bunch of people thinking that hardware can pick up the slack from development companies externalising their costs (since devs cost money, right!?).

well. hardware costs money for us. fix your software.
Technology companies routinely use/license technology from other companies in their products. If, for example, Apple relies upon Samsung for displays and memory in their laptops, it does not follow that you're actually buying a Samsung laptop.

In any event, Laravel has never been shy about its debt to Symfony.
I’d be so up for a 16 inch ‘air’. I so love my M1 Pro Max MacBook, but Christ it’s heavy.

It’s heavier, and I think thicker, than my 2012 MacBook Pro. Now I expected it to be heavier, but was expecting it to drop back maybe one iteration to MacBook 2014 kind of heft. But we’re a full decade back of beefiness.

I need a big screen though so it’s the only option. Unless they make a nice thin 16 inch air. I am pretty confifent it would sell extremely well.
Stick an `opacity: 0` div in front of it to "disable" interactivity

Yeah, you can really tell no-one at Cupertino uses @1x displays. I don’t find it to be unusable, but jesus christ it’s ugly—far uglier than the same monitor driven by a Windows machine. It’s not just text either, throughout the UI a lot of scaled images (e.g. App Store preview images) look awful. You can tell it’s just not a priority.

The problem is my alternatives are a 4K display with non-integer scaling on macOS, or a 5K Studio Display that my Windows work laptop can’t drive which costs almost as much as my MacBook again[0]. So I guess I’ll stick with what I’ve got.

[0] I’m intrigued by the recently announced 5K Samsung ViewFinity S9, but I’m not expecting it to be meaningfully cheaper than the Studio Display considering it’s a captive market.
As an appreciator or as a creator? Here's some good first steps either way:

- Go to museums, especially exhibits you're not familiar with.

- Get a sketchbook and draw/doodle. Don't worry about what you're drawing or if it's any good, just fill up paper. Don't think too hard about it. Fill up at least one sketchbook before you watch any "how to draw" books.

- Watch some online humanities and art history videos on youtube. Look up stuff you're wondering like "why do people like art that looks like a 5 year old could make it" or "is a banana taped to a wall really art" (or whatever you wonder about). You might not agree with the presenters but at least you'll understand more where they're coming from. Or learn about particular periods in art history that you think are interesting.

- Make some found art, next time you're throwing away something like a chair or a cardboard box, take it apart and turn it into a sculpture, paint it, and THEN throw it away.

- Look for public art (sanctioned art or unsanctioned street art) in your area. Find some interesting pieces and make a trip to see/photograph them in person. What's different about seeing them in person versus seeing pictures of them? Think about what effort would go into creating them.

- Read some poetry. You can start with someone like Brian Bilson who is pretty accesable.
I'd like the equivalent for electronics if anyone has any suggestions.
They (and similar technologies) are used where it matters.

Games, data visualization, ... numerically heavy applications mainly.

On a side-note; JSON has been somewhat of a curse. The developer ergonomics of it are so good, that web devs completely disregard how they should layout their data. You know, sending a table as a bunch of nested arrays, that sort of thing. Yuck.

In web apps, data is essentially unusable until it has been unmarshalled. Fine for small things, horrible for data-heavy apps, which really so many apps are now.

Sometimes I wonder if it will change. I'm optimistic that the popularity of mem-efficient formats like this will establish a new base paradigm of data transfer, and be adopted broadly on the web.
Problem is, now it's years later, the product has been in the hands of consumers for a while now, and yet it still doesn't work. People are pissed off, people are getting hurt, and yet he continues to insist on calling it "Full Self Driving" when it is very far from that. If the government can't do anything to protect consumers for whatever reason, then the consumers must take it to the courts and to the media relentlessly until the knowledge of what FSD really is becomes a part of the zeitgeist. Much value and many lives will be destroyed needlessly because of one snake oil salesman holding a whole bunch of money.

Complaining about downvoting, demanding that other people do work for you, and preemptively using demeaning language about people who might disagree with you are all ways to reliably get downvoted.
Possibly, although the M2 Pro mini almost entirely cannibalizes the base Studio. For the same $2000 you can get the the mini with the same memory and storage, a significantly faster CPU (12 core M2 vs 10 core M1) and approximately equal GPU (19 core M2 vs 24 core M1). The Studio now only makes sense if you need the M1 Ultra or lots of memory.
I went from an M1 Air to an M1 Pro 14” and agree with you. The Air weight is a bit magical. Very chuckable, makes you want to reach for it whenever you want to get something done quickly or perch it on the arm of the couch.

By contrast the M1 Pro 14” just tips over into unwieldy. So much so that I regret not just going the whole hog and getting the 16”, since at this weight I prefer to have it sitting on a proper table and could’ve used the extra screen real estate.

I had intended to sell the Air but ended up keeping both, mainly for this very reason. The Pro rarely leaves its dock.
Your playground is what the article author did, except they used `itertools::Itertools::format` so that the entire collection or formatted string doesn't need to be built up-front but can instead be fed to the `std::fmt::Formatter` element-by-element.

If you want an introduction to the history of visual art E. H. Gombrich's The Story of Art is the classic text and takes you up to about the 1990s.

Apart from that - go to a decent gallery, find a theatre production that looks interesting, go to a classical concert, contemporary dance performance or ballet, see a jazz band. Find a friend to share the joy / boredom with. Bonus points if they know something about what you're going to.

Honestly the best thing is just to explore and give yourself licence to like things that aren't fashionable and dislike things that are.
Having worked in R&D at a big pharma for 17 years and in university HPC groups for 10, I echo these comments. I've found that corporate R&D is essentially investigative (rather than production driven), and as an IC computational scientist (or data scientist) you will move from project to project over the years, usually working solo 95% of the time. You will have some opportunity to propose projects, especially in partnership with scientists (in pharma, those are chemists or biologists or work to improve manufacturing). But without a PhD, advancement along the technical track will be limited.

If you're not embedded in a science R&D group, you will be lumped in with general IT staff where tech support, database management, or software development of products are prized by management, but tackling individual R&D questions is not (though it is tolerated by IT brass since they know investigation is critical to finding & improving drugs).

I found the same limitations when I worked in R&D-based military contracting (or for US gov't FFRDCs for various agencies). There it's more important to develop a strong relationship with the gov't client, irrespective of the academic degree you have.
