I don't agree with that assessment at all. I have listened to several hours of his episodes and he discusses supplements, but rarely have I heard him actually recommend any supplement particularly strongly, except maybe Magnesium Threonate if you want to take Magnesium, but that's hardly quack level supplementation.

The impression that I get is that he discusses supplements because the audience wants to know about supplements, and because he experiments with them himself, but I've gotten several excellent and useful pieces of information about diet and sleep regulation and they all involved zero supplements.

Comparing him to Dr Oz is wildly inaccurate, even based on the top comment on the Reddit link you posted (which I still think is inaccurate).
Yes, I think MS Office / Libre Office is a bad example. Adobe Cloud (Photoshop) to GIMP and Maya (or equiv) to Blender are far better points and counter points.

The Adobe Creative Cloud ecosystem has very strong lock in todo with workflow and collaboration (amoung other things). It's not that you couldn't do the vast majority of those things with another tool (open or not, e.g. Affinity), it's that the company you're going to work for is going to look at your Resume for experience with Adobe, and issue you a laptop with adobe on it, expect you to produce AI and PSD files (and now of course Figma for certain subsets).

GIMP is clunky and is not pushing the boundaries. Some of the newer smart tools in Photoshop are impressive in their ability to select and delete objects. Even Affinity which offers very polished products is going to struggle.

Blender on the other hand is a prime example of where an open tool can make strides to break the stranglehold. It has a very focused team of collaborators and a clear roadmap that is taking it from a tool that was quite hard to learn even if it was powerful into something that could become the industry standard.

The UX of Blender compared to what it was 5-10 years ago is so much better. I'm not sure the same could be said of GIMP.

That power comes both from strong direction and a growing and active community.

I wonder how does it compare to Maddy mail server: https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy
So, AMD's IME?
I've not really had those issues. A temporary block a few times, but that gets resolved.

FWIW, with mox, I prefer not to rely on blocklists (centralized!). Incoming mail is first checked with reputation of the sender. This reputation is only per account. So one accounts junk-classification doesn't affect another accounts. Only for new senders, and without conclusive signals, would a DNSBL be used. The result is that you can keep communicating with folks you've been communicating with for years, even if their IP is on a blocklist.

I wonder if the large providers are doing something like this as well. I suspect many mail servers use a DNSBL early in an SMTP session.

"GitHub IS NOT the industry standard for hosting code collaboration and version control through Git, an expected tool for anyone entering the industry and a priceless skill for any aspiring developer."

Is this a conflation of Git and GitHub?

The rule is "Template engine websites, tools, and sites that generate HTML from text, markdown, or script files ... are NOT permitted." and goes on to mention an inexhaustive list of examples which names Github among others.

That is abundantly clear you cannot use Github.

If you didn't read the rules, that's ignorance. If you read the rules and knowingly violate them, that's arrogance. If you unintentionally violate the rules but rebuff fair judgments as stupid, that's also arrogance. If you argue pedantics to try and find loopholes, you're an asshole.

It boggles the mind why "no Github" is such a controversial point.
Yes, exactly. Assuming that was what it referred to, it makes good sense to me.

>t'd be fabulous if atomic went the Open PDK route like Skywater 130nm: https://skywater-pdk.readthedocs.io/en/main/ but even a setup with a 'here's the fab price list click here to pay us $x'000k and sign our NDA to get access' would be a big step forward. Combined with reduced manufacturing costs it would make it far easier for smaller players to experiment with custom silicon.

Yeah, but the business model of providing accessible standard CMOS technology would not really require building new tools, wouldn't it? I think the appeal would be in being able to build devices in highly customized technology.This would require fast learning cycles at low cost. Not really something a MPW helps with.
Rules are inherently subject to interpretation.

I actually learned the opposite of what you're preaching in school. I struggled to shorten a report to meet requirements. A friend of mine was 10 pages over the limit and went on to win a laptop with his report.

Some rules are more akin to guidelines, turns out. It's not unreasonable to interpret this instances' rule as "no templates" rather than "no GitHub".
How are you contacting Google, Microsoft and Yahoo regarding that?
> a ~10" compact laptop that IBM sold for a brief period in the mid-90s. It has a full sized keyboard that flares out as you open the lid

It always amazes me what guys in 1995 could fit a full sized keyboard with all keys in ~10", yet since 2010 the humanity lost this wondrous know-how and now even in a 15" notebook you would only get an abomination with merged keys and goddamn PrtScr instead of ContextMenu.

Reading the paper, I was thinking about the following: Given the weights of two models w1 and w2, then at each neuron k compute some average of the absolute difference of the outputs of neuron k over the training set. Then perhaps the neurons with low differences are those that capture general knowledge shared by w1 and w2, just an idea.

> Indeed very impressive. I'll try it now. I hope RTX performance keeps advancing so it's usable for ever more complex games.

Surely similar fidelity (in general) would be achievable with some god rays, bloom/HDR and other effects, SSAO, as well as detailed baked lightmaps, as well as some good texture work and bump/parallax mapping. Lots of this stuff could be convincingly "faked" or pre-rendered years ago, which was used to great effect!

While ray tracing is an impressive piece of technology, to me it feels like we're not trying as much to create quality/optimized assets in the first place (which is time consuming and can be expensive) but instead expect the engine tech itself to increasingly take over. There are absolutely areas where this makes sense (e.g. dynamic LOD) but generally this results in ever increasing requirements and filesizes and shorter time to market, which I think the industry could do without. Then again, gameplay appeals to me more than graphics in general, so I'm not really the target audience.

Teardown comes to mind as a game where the technology was used well, but otherwise I'm yet to see a game where I'd enjoy the effects at the expense of making my GPU struggle. Regardless, the project itself is cool!
Isn't it more correct how the article words it?

These teachers crushed some students. They 100% deserve the flak.

If they teach math and can't add or teach english and can't read then they deserve the flak. If a teacher doesn't know the difference between hosting a site and using a template they shouldn't be teaching Computer courses.

Showing kids that the rules are enforced by ignorant people is an excellent lesson. Squashing hope early is a great way to educate the young.

I’m pretty sure that’s what they will do initially and once they get proof of concept they will seek funding for large scale. They will need a huge investment to get going on any sort of scale.

(I believe. My 2cents)
Not sure what this has to do with Rwanda having low corruption. The kinds of countries in the 3rd world that are sufficiently "liberal" to the liking of the west are usually cesspools of corruption and poverty.

I should know, because I have experienced it myself. In Ghana set up stalls for trade on the sides of major roads, at considerable risk to their safety. Successive governments have tried to force them away for a while, only for people to denounce those actions as heartless. Invariably, they slowly creep back. Imagine those who promote this situation are fined or jailed. Is that a case of being authoritarian, or a case of robust enforcement of safety rules?

Here you have an African country enforcing the rule of law and a strong national identity, and with actual results to back it up. Of course mistakes can be made, and I'm not holding up the Rwandan regime as blameless in terms of human rights. But if you you focus on quality of life of the average citizen, they have improved a great deal.

How would explain the enormous numbers of serious bugs, or the fact the Safari had slipped well behind Firefox, a non-profit with a fraction of the resources?

I lost count of the number of times local storage or indexedDB was broken by updates. Not to mention countless, very obvious regressions. Web Apps that would randomly crash 60 times a day (with one time requiring us to wait 1-2 months for the patch to role out.

Also even in the code base, you'd have (exceptionally talented) engineers juggling complete disparate and unrelated areas of code.

One major issue with no competition, is Apple never responded to developer needs. There were literally many thousands of requests for Push API for years and since no other vendor could implement them (no other vendor could even install Web Apps), there was no competitive pressure.

I don't buy the "user experience" argument. A browser full of bugs does not lead to a good user experience and the expense it imposes on developers is enormous.

As a personal example, we had such serious issues with scroll, tap to focus and bounce that the only solution was to recode all scroll-logic including scroll-bars, momentum bounce in javascript while the same app could be built with only minor issues in both Firefox and Chrome despite the fact that iOS Safari was our primary target.

As for the bugs, they just didn't get fixed. So many for, years and years.

That all said, this is past history, and I'm very hopeful for the future. The fact Apple has hired a ton more staff (including significant numbers of QA/Testers staff), a ton of really excellent web OG's and are pumping through both the features and the bugs really bodes well for the future of browser competition.

Yeah those were good episodes, the key takeaway for me was early morning and late everning light, low angle in the sky, the "netflix innoculation".

BTW you're allowed to appeal to authority. The problem is "Appeal to false authority" which means listening to a UFC commentator about vaccination.

Denialists use the term "appeal to authority" when they want to stop you from citing any source, no matter how relevant, to refute their baseless opinions. It's obvious that we must appeal to authority sometimes, because otherwise specialisation couldn't exist and we'd all be back to sewing our own trousers.

They always are the last to be updated (mine also).

We don't disagree in principle about open tools being better. I do however think that there isn't a viable alternative to GitHub at this point. The same could have been said about ExpertExchange at one point, and while StackOverflow isn't perfect, they do at make everything Creative Commons.

Tackling GitHub would require building a platform where all of the other tools such as Pull Requests, Actions, Issues were also represented in a portable format. Recognising that Git is just one interface to GitHub now rather than the main part of it.
I thought POSIX was good? Maybe the browser will be the cross-OS POSIX replacement (in the long term)-- WASM access to ABI and kernel?
No, in fact the rules specify a "Github" among others as examples of "Template engine websites, tools, and sites that generate HTML from text, markdown, or script files" that you are "NOT permitted" (their emphasis) to use.

Translating that into practical terms, it means "no Github", and also "no Jekyll" and all the other examples named and not named.

Whether prior precedent is possible or not really shouldn't be the issue. Such a standard itself is the problem: if your rights are violated in a legally novel way, why do courts pre-judge such a case against the victim? Sure, precedent matters, but when a legally new situation arises (a distinction which might be different than what a reasonable layperson would consider "new"), it seems the more morally correct approach is to hear the case and set precedent. Courts do that all the time in other matters so this distinction in judging government agent's actions is particularly absurd.
I did all of this when self hosting for a few years. It was mostly fine, but for a couple of undelivered emails. Those were just enough that I lost trust in the system and eventually stopped running my own email.

People mostly expect email to be fully reliable. It’s not, but that doesn’t stop people treating it like that. As a result, even if you only fail to deliver 1 in 1000 emails, that could have significant consequences. Gmail et. al have a high enough deliverability rate that most people can get away with treating it as reliable.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t self host, but I think they need to be very aware of how it will change their trust of email.
Hi all!

I've been playing around a lot with Stable Diffusion recently, and I thought it would be fun to showcase this previously impossible use case: business logos that are generated daily.

The implementation itself uses Depth2Img (although ControlNet might be the next step) to generate an image from the logo, as well as some post-processing/masking to clean it up.

Happy to answer any questions!
I absolutely love my 51nb 10th-gen Intel transplant Thinkpad x200. It's incredible how, after 10 years, it still feels better as a piece of hardware than my modern Thinkpads do (not to say that they're at all badly built). Nothing comes close to that keyboard, not even my choc sunsets.

I lost my original Thinkpad 700c that I grew up with in a house move about 5 years ago. I don't think I'll ever forgive myself.
My initial comment was to someone who believes that battery swapping will win out in the end, which I'm fairly certain it won't, just given how good fast charging technology is now.

Reportedly Nio is burning cash at an unprecedented rate. I would assume the complexity of making the battery removable is digging into their margins quite heavily, as well as building out this infrastructure that very few actually needs. I see it mostly as a gimmick to get people who are hellbent on thinking that battery technology will either massively increase all of a sudden or those that think batteries degrade much faster and more than they actually do.
"HTTP/1.1 requires a single TCP connection per request (with possibility for connection reuse), but HTTP/2 supports request-response flow multiplexing across a single connection."

I send multiple HTTP requests over a single TCP connection every day. I have been using HTTP/1.1 pipelining for the last 15 years. It is optimal for information retrieval, e.g., retrieving many web pages or files from the same website, such as sitemap XML files. Needless to say, it is also good for so-called "scraping". Most "developers" doing "web scraping" will make large numbers of TCP connections, sending one HTTP request per connection, and as a result they will draw bans for consuming server resources. Then they fiddle around with proxies. Then they complain about problems.

Maybe "modern" web browsers are incapable of using HTTP/1.1 pipelining, but virtually all HTTP servers are capable. I do not use a web browser to do pipelining.

"HTTP/1.1 requires a single TCP connection per request" is false. It seems to be a popular refrain from the HTTP/2 crowd (Google and other companies interested in eyeballs for advertisers and therefore graphical browsers). Bloggers have picked this up and have proceeded to regurgitate the lie.

The whole point of HTTP/1.1's "keep-alive" value in the Connection header is pipelining multiple HTTP requests over s single TCP connection. HTTP/1.1 pipelining works beautifully for requesting multiple resources from the same host: information retrieval. It just does not work for Google's online advertising playground, which requires a cornucopia of resources from multiple hosts, including pure ad servers and trackers, just to "load" a single page.

Hence Google and HTTP/2 proponents want to pretend HTTP/1.1 cannot be used to pipeline requests. But the truth is that only their web browsers and their idea of web pages designed for advertising cannot use HTTP/1.1 to pipeline requests. There is no such limitation in the protocol.

Trying to "fingerprint" HTTP/1.1 pipelining is left as an excercise for the reader. No doubt it could be done, but it would also be easy to evade.
Basically all high-end CPU's in the last 20 years(almost 30 actually, it started with Pentium Pro in 1995) have small internal instruction set to which all of the instructions that are transmitted to CPU are converted. Part that converts instructions to microops is called frontend. There was canceled sister-architecture to Zen called K12, which, as far as I can tell, was basically just Zen with different frontend.

I see a couple of straw-mans in the reasoning. First is the claim that taxation assumes that working you get paid for nothing - "When I work hard to earn money, I’m not getting something for nothing. I’m getting something for my time and my time has value." - that is not at all the point, the IRS doesn't assume that. You get paid for your time AND your skills AND your willingness to exchange both for value, whatever value you choose to receive.

Which takes us to the barter part of the essay.

There is a major difference between paying someone to do your chores or doing them yourself. What's the difference? The value you are willing to exchange not to do the chores yourself, of course. Be it lack of skills, lack of time or valuing that time spent doing something else more than what you're giving in exchange.

In other words: the IRS recognizes that you own your own time and are free to do with what you want, but when you exchange it for something of value - money, services, goods - you will be taxed on that value.

Not entering the discussion on taxes: both the lawn mowing person and the house cleaning person recognize that there is more value in the other's time for a given task than their own time, if and how much that differential in value should be taxed it's a different conversation.
We should foster a world full of people who use their brains to interpret rules.

If we're going to blindly do something because "it's the exact rule written here" then we might as well replace all decision makers with an AI that never interprets anything.

Their teacher was wrong for not interpreting the rules correctly - everyone's aware of that. On top of that the people writing those rules were wrong as well for either assuming that teachers would interpret them correctly, or not being more explicit when writing them.

It's a competition that includes writing code as a team: one of the main things you'd want them to do is to use git and thus a website like Github.
These don't actually prevent moving. Restraints simply mean the movement won't be large. Great solution to prevent damage if you hit things in your sleep or, say, you have had a stroke and can't control one arm. It just doesn't actually prevent the movement or the signals that make them (muscles will still get the signal to move).
