The majority of Sleep/Suspend/Hibernate related issues I had on Windows were related to it either not sleeping at all, or waking up at the wrong time.

Annoying when it's a laptop that you've just unplugged and stuffed into your backpack, and you're wondering why there's now an oven on your back. Less fatal for a desktop when the goal is to save power.

For linux, sleep/suspend is also pretty reliably good in my experience.
The wastewater study in Italy is pretty good and fits the pandemic timeline and doesn't claim anything particularly outrageous. They had lots of samples turn positive, the ones that turned positive generally stayed positive. It was just a bit more than 2 months before the first recognized deaths, which fits the timeline of a few weeks of cryptic spread, 4 weeks of doubling every 3 days to get to >1k infected, followed by 3 weeks for the disease to progress to death.
I agree with everything you said but if I put my Elon hat on, aside from the itching sensation I can imagine their security team pointed out that people would find ways to DoS the terminal into being free. I'm not saying that would be logical, just probably how they were thinking. I'm taking that hat off now.

> Even after COVID-19, many believe that if we had just tried a little harder we could've turned back the tide.

I can't speak to china, but "Zero COVID" wasn't even attempted in the US, and I'm absolutely certain that if we'd tried harder we could prevented tens if not hundreds of thousands of deaths. Many Americans made no effort to avoid getting infected and some went out of their way to get infected or to promote the spread of the virus while others were convinced even as they gasped their last breaths that the virus was hoax or clung to treatments that were ineffective or harmful.

The efforts we Americans should have made but failed to started long before the first cases were discovered as people had been warning us about the dangers of a global pandemic yet we were entirely unprepared. Our stockpiles hadn't been maintained. Our hospitals were already understaffed and under-equipt. Our population already under-educated and lacking critical thinking skills. We were not ready for a crisis.

We could do better for the next pandemic (and it is coming) but I haven't seen a lot being done to prepare us and a lot of damage has already been done which will take a long time to repair. The CDC has proved themselves to be unworthy of our trust, the government has proved that it will not adequately care for the needs of its people in an emergency, and our supply chains have proven to be critically fragile. I don't give us very good odds at doing much better when the next virus enters the ring and starts taking shots. We were tested, we failed, and we're still failing.

In a similar vein is Distributed Services with Go[0]. It's book available at pragprog (and on Oreilly, formerly Safari) that walks through creating a distributed log using key value storage and raft consensus. I found it very helpful as a practical Go project that gets you hands on with grpc, docker, and tests.

The plastic under the steering wheel is removed exposing the ignition barrel, at the end of the barrel you can pop it off. Exposing a little fob like turner, stick your usb cable over it and twist. The steering lock gets released. This is an old car stealing trick however, in the olden days you could do the same thing but the steering column would remain locked. Skinny 12 year olds in the UK had enough strength to snap the lock by grabbing the wheel and quickly pulling it in either direction, once you broke the lock you were good to go! We called them twocs (taken without owners consent) the whole adventure was known as joy riding..

The Kia boys were a couple of American youths doing something similar and uploading videos of it on tik tok.
A reporter asked them, don’t you feel bad for people who’s cars you are stealing? The kid replied nah, they got insurance. The reporter- what if they don’t have insurance? The kid straight faced and serious- that’s illegal so they shouldn’t be doing that.
Sure the video of that interview is out there somewhere. Hilarious. Also unlucky if your car got stolen. Don’t blame the kids they just bored and need guidance.

In what spirit do people talk about it?
There's no political upside for them. The Trumpian wing of western politics are going to believe whatever they want no matter what evidence comes out. There's a chance an investigation uncovers wrongdoing or recklessness at some level of Chinese bureaucracy be it a lab leak or just unsanitary meat handling or something else. Or they turn over every rock in Wuhan and still don't find conclusive proof of anything.
They’ll just refuse to cover the cases when it would, easy peasy.

They certainly do think about the reduction of demand due to increasing price. That’s economics 101, and I would not assume a major business executive doesn’t know that.

They must have simply thought that the reduction in demand would be small compared to the increased revenue. They are in an existential battle against heavyweights like Apple, Amazon, and Google for music streaming. Adding exclusive podcasts to try to lock in users seems like a good idea to me from a business perspective.

I absolutely hate the idea as a listener to podcasts though, and I am glad to see it fail.

Thanks to Valve's focus on improving Linux suspend on AMD hardware, suspend recently started working reliably on my desktop. It now suspends automatically, and I set up a button on my phone to send a wake-on-lan packet. My phone is always VPNed to home, so I can wake it up from anywhere.

For my server, I just focused on choosing very power efficient hardware. I use a passively cooled baytrail SoM.
I wouldn't know I'm not from the US. But you sure seem very personally invested in those kinds of decisions. Maybe that should be Bidens strategy? Claim masks are terrible and get the Republicans to wear them?

Seems to be how both sides reason over there. Exhausting but entertaining to follow. I'm leftist (real "hang the bankers" kind of left not Teslas and Iphones left) and even to me the Republicans often seem like the reasonable bunch in the gang, and that says a lot...

Both sides would benefit from some serious self-examination.
It's impossible to form meaningful sentences without having a model of the sequence of the words, this is as true for a human as for a markov chain, but that doesn't mean it then follows that human sentences are just sophisticated markov chains, the nature of sentences means that they must be a sequence of words regardless of the implementation details behind the hood of the sentence creator.
I thought we were talking about just supporting going to stand-by, not about how much power the device draws while on stand-by.
I started down a similar path for a Lorex NVR, amusingly it brings out its serial port to a physical DB9 on the back. Trivial to get it into the uBoot prompt and start dumping its flash. Annoyingly it has a hardware watchdog that reset the machine every minute or so unless it's in the OS. I didn't feel like figuring it out so I wrote a quick script that dumped a few hundred K, waited for machine reset, re-entered u-boot, and kept dumping.

Ultimately I decided to work on something else as I have plenty of more interesting hardware hacking projects to work on, but it was fun practice to overcome the watchdog.
If you hold enough deposits, 1% is pretty good. Remember, these assets aren't "your" assets. you hold shares in the bank. the 1% isn't a rate of return on the share pool. Banks pay dividends reliably.

> return about 1% of assets on deposit

So? Investors don't have to lower-bound value bank stock at its deposits.

(God I hate google and its insistence on corporate search results, I search for "how much money does bank of america have on deposit" and all the results are about making deposits on bankofamerica.com)

Bank of America has $1.9t in deposits, but its equity value is $285b. So a 1% return on deposits = 6.66% return for investors (excluding other costs and other revenue (account fees?))

Thats kind-of what I mean: if Berkshire "invites" its RE investments to cease laying off climate change risks, or to make immense profit for the risk, then the worldwide re-insurance market is going to move, and everyone holding waterfront property is going to find premiums jump no matter what because Re-insurance spreads risk: everyone winds up paying for that spread, down at the coal face.

"oh sorry, the cost of re-insurance jumped 10x, your premiums have to go up" is a hell of a signal.
it is also the responsibility of those that don't know to ask questions to understand before just ripping things out by the root before fully understanding why they are there. most of these tree lines are exactly that, lines. Nature abhors straight lines, so it's pretty obvious someone did it on purpose and probably for a reason. it's not hard to ask someone why they are there.
This way to acquire assets is statistically working, but it's very slow; it takes decades, unless you actively trade and maybe have some not entirely public insights into the businesses you invest in.

Also, an investor risks to lose the investment when the market crashes. Not everyone thinks about that during a market rally though; during these it looks like you can keep making tons of money for a long time.

I'd say that investing in a car repair shop and the appropriate skills would likely pay more, that is, would produce more assets faster.
Either facial recognition or license plate recognition (or logging all data about a car) at scale is roughly a similar problem and should be solved together with a constitutional amendment to the Right to Privacy (or something - I'm not a lawyer).

Meanwhile, no need to have the data leave the car "for the benefit of law enforcement". I would love if cars' would be GPS connected, or use "smart roads", and have the car self-regulate the speed limit. We have the technology to get rid of speeding tickets, lets just automate this and lets debate better road policies instead.

No need to reduce the number of police officers, just get them to instead work on finding my stolen bike! They can also continue to patrol the roads for unsafe driving, for people who mod their cars to no longer respect the speed limit, etc.
So in 2045 you could be driving a 10 year old Toyota and drive it for 10 more years if you take care of it.

Assets and passive income are interchangeable. Assets produce passive income, and you can borrow against reliable passive income to purchase assets.

If you redistribute passive income, you redistribute access to assets. If you redistribute assets, you redistribute access to passive income. They are one and the same.
Here is just one recent example: https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.13382

If you actually follow the literature, you'll find that there is tons of evidence that the seemingly "simple" transformer architecture might actually work pretty similar to the way the human brain is believed to work.
No, that outbreak didn’t happen by sheer coincidence near that lab.

That outbreak happened in a certain region, and the lab happened to be one of the things humans would immediately look at and be like “oh thst looks suspicious”.

For example, the outbreak also happened right next to, and all evidence points to, a live animal market. The kind of thing that is known to have led to Novak viruses multiple times before.

Happening next to a research lab is far less suspicious than happening at a wet market. The latter have a history of originating novel viruses and all the research so far points to that being the source.
I will assume you've read the full document and are fine with the things it says, since you're so confident it's a well written/thought-out piece that just accidentally has an extremely outdated name.

I think it's a tough argument to make that single-mothers lead to resentful anti-social children, but, hey, maybe I should be more open-minded.

>...The primary unit may again become mother and child, the biologically given, and the special conditions under which man has held his social traditions in trust are violated and distorted.

E. Franklin Frazier makes clear that at the time of emancipation Negro women were already “accustomed to playing the dominant role in family and marriage relations” and that this role persisted in the decades of rural life that followed...

...Although the families studied were white, the pattern would clearly seem to be a general one, and apply to Negro families as well.

The first two stages end with the exhaustion of credit and the entry of the wife into the labor force. The father is no longer the provider and the elder children become resentful.

The third stage is the critical one of commencing a new day-to-day existence. At this point two women are in charge:

“Consider the fact that relief investigators or case workers are normally women and deal with the housewife. Already suffering a loss in prestige and authority in the family because of his failure to be the chief bread winner, the male head of the family feels deeply this obvious transfer of planning for the family’s well-being to two women, one of them an outsider. His role is reduced to that of errand boy to and from the relief office.”
From a quick review of the games listed on https://games.skillz.com/popular there are a few that are purely luck-based (Blackout Bingo, Bingo Cash), most that have a very small skill or strategy cap before they’re luck-dominated (multiple Solitaires, Match 3 games, Blackjack, Spades, Bubble popping games, Yahtzee), and a few that seem skill-based (Big Buck Hunter marksman game, Pool, Bowling). Note: without investigating those presumed skill-based games looking for ways they introduce unavoidable randomness, I can’t be sure they really are skill-based.

Conclusion is it seems quite plausible Skillz does offer some partly-skill-based competitive games where you can earn cash by beating other players on your own merits. This isn’t incompatible with their business model - casinos profit on poker despite it being possible to win money at poker because you aren’t playing against the house, you’re playing against each other, and the house is just taking a rake (essentially renting out the dealer and table to the players).

> that human language (and the patterns of thinking behind it) are somehow simpler and more “law like” in their structure than we thought.

That sounds like a lot of ideas on what makes humans special among other species and how our knowledge on that was being revised over last decades (what's common knowledge on the intelligence of, say, primates or corvids today would be unspeakable blasphemy mere 100 years ago). Various religions have instilled the idea of a human as a sacred entity that's meant to rule over everything because of how special ("made in the image of God") it is, yet we keep learning that we're much simpler than we thought over and over again. I wish for it to result in less hubris in the humanity as a whole.

Well then those who think they are coming up the sentence one word at a time are equally as easy to fool, no? They could have the whole sentence figured out and their attention is only coming to a single word at a time, possibly revising what's in their field of mental view if they come up with a better word. That's the fun with these sorts of doubts, if we assume nothing, then we can form an argument for anything.

Yeah, that's definitely a valid concern. I wonder how easy it would be to do so, given I haven't heard of it happening with superchargers before. But again, there was no incentive to do so without free charging, so who knows.

The authors show how to get two neural networks. A and B, jointly to converge to the same weight states, which can be used as a secret key, before an attacker E can compute the same weight states. Alas, they authors write:

> Why does this work at all? What is the difference between the partner B and the attacker E, who both have the same information? The reason is that B can influence the network A whereas E can only listen.

In other words, the scheme works only as long as there's no MITM ("man in the middle") attack.

If you ever do psychedelics, try out a tone generator while on the trip.
https://www.szynalski.com/tone-generator/

In particular the 20-100 hz range.

There's a simple explanation for all of this. The sound wave frequencies are about coincident with the brain wave frequencies used in representing conscious thought. Signals of audio and visual perception in the brain are meant to be similar, you want to recognize the same object as the cause of both light and sound signals. So perhaps information in the optical nerve is serialized in a manner that makes the wave form similar to sound waves coming from the same direction and same characteristic length scale. Of course on psychedelics you can use sound or perhaps even blinking lights to create erroneous perceptions.
