HP made the only laptop I ever bought that literally fried itself. Anecdotal and all that, but they're dead to me.
I was more imagining that it was going to an email account called e.g. "devops@"; and then when you left (possibly very quickly, e.g. via termination), the need for the continuity of that account was forgotten, because it had never become institutional knowledge; and then during a reorg, a new group (= email distribution list) was created to match the new department name; with nobody remembering to forward devops@ to the new address, because it wasn't receiving emails anybody needed to see on any sort of consistent basis, only these once-in-a-blue-moon emails.
Weird selection: there are obviously a basically infinite variety of plier-like objects used for exactly one task. There are a handful of pliers (roundnose, needlenose, etc) that are generally useful. Lots of them don't turn up on this article. I was kind of disappointed.
Mozilla had Persona but it somewhat mysteriously got abandoned even though it would be a good pragmatic solution that would be integrated to the browser.
You're not wrong, but the answer to "why not just do this" is because those people probably don't know about bidets, because it's not very prevalent elsewhere in life (in the US especially). Lack of knowledge is a problem when you're poor too.

If bidets were ubiquitous in the US such that just about everyone has used one, you'd not be seeing this issue.
Ok, so your theory is that even though we study mice because the are in many ways good proxies for humans, there's some special exception when it comes to fasting?

Yes, we don't yet know precisely how similar humans and mice are in this regard, because studies in mice generally precede doing the matching study in humans. But that doesn't mean we should assume that there's absolutely no correlation.

And yes, the more general biological similarities are relevant here because you claim "we simply do not know how to do that mapping", and that's not the case. We can't do a perfect mapping because mice aren't humans, but we can make a good start. We broadly know quite a bit about the relationship between mice and men and what sorts of correlations are more and less likely. E.g., if the study were about fitting through small holes, we'd know that the study wouldn't tell us much about humans. But we use mice because of "their anatomical, physiological, and genetic similarity to humans". [1]

Does that mean people should take this as gospel about what happens in humans? No. But it gives us a lot of good questions and things to explore in humans.

If your return is complicated enough that you need CPAs and lawyers to handle it, the IRS won't be able to give you a ready return of what it thinks you owe because it doesn't have access to all of the information it would need to do that.

I end up missing documents that somehow the IRS knows about but the institutions neglect to provide.

The IRS knows about these because your counterparties to these transactions filed their own documents, and you were reported in these documents in some fashion. If you are failing to file those documents, that is absolutely a failure of your tax advisors to properly handle your compliance, and you should absolutely demand they make you whole for penalties and interest owed on these failures, and sue them for malpractice if they do not. (99% of the time they will just pay you without needing a lawyer to get involved, though this might come in the form of a credit against current/future services if you are still a client.)
It's true. A lack of redundancy is the issue. One feeble car. One month rent. One day worth of food. One day at a time you have to juggle taking more out of one or fearing it'll go away or stop working.

I am quite curious how on earth "a laptop specially made for linux" will enable to have more performance on same hardware? More thermal pipe or you write your own drive?

> I've done quite a bit of fasted training, but can't say I have seen a huge effect myself

I've tried it and haven't seen much of a difference in weight loss either. Also I have only been able to pull it off with cardio - any fasted training involving weight lifting has been a dreadful experience. I've completely abandoned the idea.
This is outdated, unfortunately. The Russian space program has suffered from immense brain-drain, budget cuts, and corruption, all of which have worn it down over 30 years and resulted in vastly reduced quality control.

In the past handful of years, on ISS alone, there have been:
* Progress coolant leak
* Soyuz coolant leak
* Nauka module rogue thruster sending entire station spinning out of control
* Soyuz hull leak
* Launch failure with two crew aboard
* Various low-grade problems on older modules especially Zvezda

I might be forgetting something, that’s just off the top of my head. No, this amount of serious issues is not normal “space is hard” stuff, and nowhere near as many problems have happened with any of the other ISS partner countries.

This is not to mention a steady rise in unscrewed launch failures, especially for Proton but also for Soyuz. Russia was pissing away its dominant position in commercial launch long before sanctions.

The once-great Soviet space program is dying with the world’s longest whimper.

I was a religious breakfast eater. Would often wake up because I was hungry. The first few weeks of IF was rough, but the hunger eventually passed. My energy levels also dipped, but then went way up. I try to do all my deep work and exercise before my first feeding of the day because of how sharp I feel.

3ish years in I feel great, and routinely get comments how 'in shape' I look. I also try to weight train every day and train BJJ a few times/week.

Other things I've learned personally is if I eat poorly the night before (lots of sweets or something), I am more likely to feel a bit of hunger the next morning. Normally I don't really feel hungry though, and if I'm busy I can go right through lunch without noticing.
Seriously, do we have any idea how such systems will work? Is it even possible to build such system?

Ignorant of what?

The pro-religious perspective? If I am required to take that perspective, am I required to be ignorant of the atheist/agnostic perspective?

I call that requirement itself ignorance. So I'm ignorant of ignorance... Double negative.
"Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute"

-- Abelson & Sussman, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, 1984.

It's possible to write English with bad structure, clumsy metaphors, obscure vocabulary, and non-non-non-usual idiosyncrasies. And other people might be technically capable of understanding it if they really want to, and try hard enough.

After all, the language elements are there and well-defined, so why would anyone ever complain about "bad" writing?

(Out of curiosity, do you object to people who say the use of "goto" should be seriously restricted, or even prohibited, in most programs? Do you specifically use gotos to make the point that they can still be be useful and productive? The language element is there and well-defined.)
This reminds me of the letter that Charles Darwin wrote from Albany, Western Australia, when he briefly visited in 1836:

"We staid (sic) there eight days and I do not remember since leaving England having passed a more dull, uninteresting time," he wrote.
"He who thinks like me will never wish to walk again in so uninviting a country."[0]

The south-west of Australia, the country of the Noongar people, is now recognised as a world biodiversity hot-spot. And yet Darwin couldn't see it: he had no sense of this place, despite his vocation as a naturalist and scientist.

If the US did blow the pipeline I would be impressed and fully supportive of the decision. I just think Biden lacks the courage to authorize such an action. It’s possible that it was done behind his back, since I very much doubt Biden himself is in control of things to any real extent.
Seriously programmers have a big not-invented-here complex. No other scientific discipline has so many needless incompatible varieties of its tools

On the other hand programmers have somewhat smaller egos than some scientists
I feel like at any kind of scale this would be an incredibly slow type of strategy. An F22 could have been used because initially the DoD had no idea what the thing was and if it was hostile, but as time goes on I really doubt that deploying F22s would continue to be the American strategy. The irony of this strategy is that the US absolutely LVOES to spend money and resources on defense, so this isn't exactly hitting 'em where it hurts.

> Calling this “libre software” instead of “free software” seems very self-serving

How so?

When talking to a non-technical audience my experience has been that the term "free software" is misinterpreted more often than not. If a name always requires an ancillary explanation ("...as in freedom, not beer") and collides with a common and wildly different meaning then it is not a good name.

"Open Source" advocates realized early on that the name was a fatal liability and switched to a significantly better one.

Trying to rebrand free (as in freedom) software movement as "libre" is probably too little, too late but I don't think it hurts to try.
Agreed, I don't mind spending extra money on GPUs (I have 2 3090s sitting next to me) because the improvement are still worthwhile for my use case, but the CPU prices have been unjustifiable, especially on the AMD side. Increasing CPU price, absurd motherboard price AND needing to buy new RAM, all for an improvement that isn't really too meaningful unless in very specific tasks, is not really worth it. I instead just got a 5900x for my computer and moved its 3900x into a server, retiring its 1600x (which was also sufficient for its work, although at least the 1600x was noticeably slower for transcoding, the 3900x is proving more than sufficient).

> The mistake of referring to Leonardo as "da Vinci" is so entrenched, I'm afraid it's uncorrectable. I have had to fight with editors about this: You say "Leonardo," and they want to say "da Vinci," thinking it's his last name — thinking it's the same as saying "Reynolds." They think that, when you say "Leonardo," you're saying the equivalent of "Joshua." Actually, to say "da Vinci" is to say "of Orange," instead of "William."

I, for one, welcome any deviation from the assumption that everyone's name is of the form "Given-name Surname".
Marriage and birth, like most things in an Americans life, are registered with the individual State governments since that power rests with the State. The Federal government has no jurisdiction over those matters and there is no implication that they would know. It becomes even more complicated when things like birth and marriage happen outside the US.

The details of mortgage debt are reported to the IRS on a standard form already.
It's gold for non-native speakers of any supported language.

Hah, I can't e-file my taxes at all, because it is not possible to e-file as "married, filing separately" if one has a non-resident alien spouse (without SSN or ITIN). Aka married overseas, US hadn't yet granted a visa yet, no point in trying to obtain an ITIN (that's harder than having to mail the form).

The form is totally fine - according to IRS, one just needs to write "NRA" ("non-resident alien") instead of spouse's SSN and that's it. But for some technical reason (despite, AFAIK, IRS having at least 4 iterations of XML schemas) e-filing is said to be not possible - one gotta print and mail it.

Worse, I had to explain how this works to "specialists" at H&R Block, as they almost made a mistake of suggesting to file my returns as "single" (glad I did my own research, huh). And I can't use FreeTaxUSA because they don't support such scenario either.

Edit: Upd: freefilefillableforms.com doesn't let me type in "NRA" in that field either. (Doesn't really matter, works for me as long as I get a PDF out of this)
Modern games let you set separate rendering and display resolutions so you can get most of the benefit of a 4k display without requiring a video card that can render every pixel. The new upscaling techs address really good.

Far too much is made of redlining. There are other much more significant things that have held the black community back in recent decades, like too little focus on education and fatherless/broken homes, that get much too little attention because they don't offer a convenient scapegoat. These things have not been imposed on the black community, any more than they would have been imposed on other relatively impoverished and discriminated against groups living in America.

Until these much more salient and impactful issues are dealt with - and they can only be dealt with by the black community itself - poor outcomes, and apparently harm to wildlife genetic diversity, will continue.
Your weapon of choice also seems to be the keyboard.

Yes, with -Wall it triggers a warning, but the warning is a false positive because assignment is indeed the intention.
As typical for recommendations beginning with "just", this entirely ignores a critical concern of the problem domain - in this case, the phone sync use case I explicitly called out in my prior comment. Jabref looks worse than Zotero in this regard; where the latter fails but at least makes the attempt, the former shows no sign of bothering to try at all.

I'm a hobbyist student of hymenopterology, not a professional researcher; this is an interest that needs to fit into a life with many competing concerns, rather than the work my professional life is built around. It should not be a great surprise when tools built for and by professional researchers fail to meet my needs - to say nothing of those tools being built to a typical academic standard of software quality, something in the implication of whose existence I am being quite generous.

I don't yet know whether Jendeley is any better, but it could hardly be any worse, and having been built with modern tooling and in a modern HCI paradigm offers significant promise of justifying my time and interest. (And as I do find things about it I don't like, it won't require software archaeology to fix them!)
> In the DVD commentary, Stanton said that he has been asked if it was his intention to make a movie about consumerism. His answer was it was not; it was a way to answer the question of how would the Earth get to the state where one robot would be left to continue the cleanup by itself. Nevertheless, some critics have noted an incongruity between the perceived pro-environmental and anti-consumerist messaging of the film, and the environmental impacts in the production and merchandising of the film [1]

HN thread about the Ted Chiang piece in question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34724477
It's so boring to read a bunch of words when the thesis is just: "A song is written by humans because they suffer." Which really hides the bias against AI behind criticism. Criticism is the only stronghold remaining. And the defenders don't even see how weak of a position is it.

Yes every human is sentient and contains records of the history of its interactions as memories and valences. Humans are social animals and so our environment is more than just the world and objects but also people and their utterances and creations and doings.

So you stub your toe and you hate it, but you don't blame the rock. But when someone writes a sonnet and your heart skips a beat you also don't credit the sonnet. You credit the author. You hold all 3 objects in mind. Your reaction, the sonnet, and the author of the sonnet. It is your experience of the sonnet which causes the valence toward the author.

So this is the theory. Listener is critic of author via the artifact of the sonnet. But the sonnet isn't anything that can cause a reaction in the listener by itself. The sonnet only means anything in the way that it is not all the possible other sonnets and utterances in the language.

The meaning of the sonnet, the subjective quality, the experience itself is only the most recent input to the critic. And the critic only has powers of distinguishability (or taste) by consuming enormous amounts of content and seeing what felt good. The source of authority is always time investment. Critics either were creators and so can claim to know the art, or they are ravenous consumers and have thus cultivated taste.

----------

And so now the critics don't know how to act. They don't evaluate their experience and judge the creator. Instead everything is flipped and reason and criticism are motivated. One doesn't read the lyrics "to see how they feel," instead

> this song is bullshit, a grotesque mockery of what it is to be human

You see, the artifact shouldn't even exist. Humans make songs, not computers. I don't even have to see how it feels because where was the anguish in the production. *This isn't even a song.*

-----

Ultimately this is actually just bad criticism. If you think the structure "Kurt Cobain was sad, and I've been sad, and we're both humans, so these lyrics are good because I felt good" is reasonable then of course you'll trip up when the author isn't human.

If you can't engage with an artifact and see how it makes you feel independent of actually assessing the author and the leap to the obviously false conclusion, "AI cant produce anything good, because I don't respect it's perspective" then you're just a boring human chauvinist whose taste and preferences will be purged by the next generation.

They won't care about jimi hendrix because they aren't an old man born in 1957. Criticism isn't supposed to just be a recapitulation of a singular perspective. You're supposed to actually evaluate the thing.

> Back-pressure (e.g. slowing down the entry-points) can easily be introduced if queues becomes too large.

...which presumably includes load-shedding to stop misbehaving components from overloading the queues; at which point, unless you want clients to just lose track of the things they wanted done when they get a "we're too busy to handle this right now" response, you've essentially circled back around to clients having to use a client with REST-like "synchronous/blocking requests with retry/backpressure" semantics — just where the requests that are being synchronously-blocked on are "register this as a work-item and give me an ID to check on its status" rather than "do this entire job and tell me the result."

And if you're doing that, why force the client to think in terms of async messaging at all? Just let them do REST, and hide the queue under the API layer of the receiver.
I read the article, but didn’t see a list of the proprietary software that’s required to interact with New Hampshirite state agencies. Are there examples of this problem?
Yes, this is the best way to get out of poverty. Just requires some planning and discipline. From my experience, the working poor often have a lot of ingenuity in some regards. For instance, as a group they have a lot of collective knowledge about navigating transfer payments (e.g. food stamp eligibility, subsidized housing, etc). But in other respects they fall short. For instance, they're the largest gamblers.

> Nationwide, people who make less than $10,000 spend on average $597 on lottery tickets — about 6 percent of their income.

> Those in the lowest fifth in terms of socioeconomic status (SES) had the “highest rate of lottery gambling (61%) and the highest mean level of days gambled in the past year (26.1 days).” Moreover, there were “very few observed differences in lottery gambling for those in the three upper SES groups — 42–43% gambled on the lottery and the three upper groups averaged about 10 days of gambling on the lottery in the past year.” [0]

Gambling and lottery in particular is really bad for the poor. It's one thing for it to be legal, but do we really need to let states run phone apps to make playing lottery even easier?

They always are. Why do you need them? Their high prices are probably because of Broadcom though, which is also why they made their own chip. It may never be cheap again.
I'm sorry but if your income is well into the six figures there's a lot of room between "hoarding" your money and never spending any on anything fun and spending it so freely that you create unnecessary financial distress for yourself. If you think 20 grand a year is "nothing" then I guess you're not so bad off after all.
