So what you're saying is that if a risk can totally upend our society, destroy most of our cities, make most of our farmland unusable, destabilize geopolitics in a way that's almost certain to lead to war between nuclear powers (who also have the ability to engineer deadly diseases), and massively disrupt every ecosystem on earth, and that there's enough evidence to say with almost complete certainty that this will come to pass without massive societal and political change and technological intervention... but it's unlikely to kill everyone... then it doesn't really deserve mention?

Weed's healthier. Alcohol can help with a lot of the same things, but the side-effects of terrible sleep and hangovers can make the problem worse the next day. I understand weed is also supposed to harm sleep quality, but IME it's not even close to as bad as even a light-buzz amount of alcohol, and weed's never given me a hangover. And it doesn't make you gain weight (directly—munchies, LOL, but then again I get those on alcohol, too, personally).

Good point, but not completely accurate: the speakers and the typewriter (both the keyboard and the printer components) do not fit in a pocket with the same performance. And if we consider that “fit in your pocket” probably means a smartphone (file name: smartphone-replaced.jpg), both keyboard¹ and printer are missing completely.

¹ I know rare exceptions exist, and own some of those phones with keyboards which are still not as effective as a full-size keyboard.

The company was concerned about giving away proprietary information.

Oh hey, I remember hearing about that kid, he iirc also DMCAed a bunch of people giving him negative coverage if I'm not mistaken (but I could be).

The sheriff is typically elected, and the sheriff's department has specific jurisdiction over the area's courts and jails. As part of that, they're usually the ones who serve summonses from the courts, and as such they often play a role in evictions.

Depending on the state, they may be limited to almost exclusively those roles, or they might be equivalent to a full police department that also happens to have those roles. In LA, it's closer to the latter.

Well you have to square it with the very fact that these forms of affiliation are rather compatible with actually existing policing in our world. It's something that seems bad, and is certainly some kind of scandal, but there is nothing about it that is going against the goals we quantify for cops. Whether cops themselves follow any kind of law or have decenency/humanity is like a very minor concern at the end of the day, if not actively disincentivized in some cases. The extremely important thing is enforcing ingroup/outgroup mentality, and so we have stuff like this.

Either way, if its not these more local gangs, its the nationwide fraternities which arguably serve the same kind of function. So there isn't really like a way out either way.

The group of Memphis police officers who were responsible for the murder of Tyre Nichols operated as a gang.

I'm just speculating at this point, but naming your specialized unit the "Scorpion Unit" probably also resulted in these guys working as a internal cell, with their own unwritten rules and definitely a propensity to not talk about or work collaboratively with other's outside the unit. Essentially the definition of a gang.

I arrived at Google search in 2013 and soon they were complaining about how much Intel was "Slacking" and how badly they needed an alternate supplier for data center chips.

I followed Chromebook and laptop iGPU 3D performance very carefully from 2013-2019. Did you know Intel made ZERO iGPU performance improvements in this time period? The 2013 IRIS Pro 5200 and Haswell (4000 series) were a major highpoint for FIVE years. The 5000 Through 8000 Intel core cpus were highly stagnant and forgettable! Mostly they were slacking off with new designs like the Ynnn "thermal throttlemaker" Such chips ran fast for 3 secs then quit - completely! From 2013-2019 their marketing pinheads sure had a field day making up new names for the same old shit iGPUs year after year after year!

I have seen NO impact from Pat Gelsinger so far! Almost-competitive CPU's using 250% of the power of Ryzen 7000? Are you kidding us, Pat?

Kryzanich laid off a huge number of CPU architects in 2014 so they could have a much bigger and of course - more important marketing department! Who needs these useless digital designers when all they can do is reduce the mips per watt? I mean who cares about that? And while we're at it why not staff the boardroom of the world's greatest physics company with community college marketing people? Because, why not?

I don't see Apple returning to use the Intel i9-thighburner CPUs anytime soon!

One of the food safety rules of travelling in rougher places, where only boiled or bottled drinks are safe enough, is to never take ice in drinks. I suppose we can now generalize to wherever maintenance looks shoddy.
Let me alter this a bit:

"So if you argue that we can use a human to make a fact checker then I agree. It is unclear how accurate they would be, but at least then we have someone that tries to evaluate truthiness. But the human itself doesn't use such a layer, so they don't have a truth model."

It reads to me that you presume that "a fact checking layer" must be a dedicated thing and can't be just an application of a general conversation.

It also seems that you presume that humans have such a special fact-checking layer, other than just an application of general conversaion (cause you say that humans have a truth model, cause a truth model can't exist without this layer). Why are you making that assumption?
> The PM got a promotion - I bet some metrics moved enough to "show impact", but no one asked themselves what the long term effect will be

Yep, that's the worst part: people not staying long enough to evaluate the consequences. To some extent it doesn't even matter if these ideas were good or bad in the end - the person is just not there anymore to even learn from the experience.
I tried mark's OMP_NUM_THREADS suggestion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35018559), did not see any an obvious change to make it parallel, and given the huggingface patch (https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/21955) once it gets in is suppose to allow streaming from RAM to the GPU. So, for me it was not worth the effort to keep working on the CPU version as even the best case ~30X speedup will still take around a minute to run the 7B.

You don’t have to. You use the evidence gathered on the phone to find other evidence that is admissible.

But “going to court” rarely happens. 95% of cases are plea-bargained.

> The report identifies at “least a half dozen” active gangs and cliques — and names them: the Executioners, the Banditos, the Regulators, the Spartans, the Gladiators, the Cowboys, and the Reapers.

This list isn't exhaustive but many of these are civilian gangs, so it's probably a case of both.
I've been looking into these home water purification systems. A good one will strip pretty much anything out of the water, so as a window cleaning company that used their own water to clean the glass put it, its dead water, in theory nothing can survive in it.
Now to touch and feel that "dead water" it was like handling liquid silk without the thickness or resistance. It would be like having the most luxurious bath or shower you'd ever have without any cleaning products like shower gels, bath soaks etc. It also means the amount of cleaning product used, like washing powder for clothes, shower gels, dishwasher product, goes down and becomes more effective as there is no mineral to interfere with it. Technically pure water is an acid.

Anyway I have not found any suitable answer for cleaning the water pipes after these strip everything out of the water filter systems, and whilst it shouldnt be a problem if you have copper pipes throughout the house because copper kills most bacteria and some viruses, hence copper water vessels from the past, if you have the new plastic flexible piping in the house, cleaning will almost certainly be required.

Penicillin based antibiotics when they are broken down in the liver become penicillamine and this causes the body to release lots of copper into the blood stream, so how much is that having an antibacterial effect on the body? Plus copper is also needed for interleukin-6 which kills alot of cancer, so if doing lots of penicillin antibiotics, your risk of cancer could go up if your dietary copper intake is not high! Something the medical professionals dont tell you!

So something like what the pubs use to flush their pipes leading up from the barrels and kegs should do it for cleaning the water system pipes after the water filter, but like I say, I havent found anything satisfactory from these household water supply filter people. Certainly copper pipes are best though, and if doing some DIY, dont leave any flux on the pipe because in damp cold conditions, condensation reacts with the flux and it causes tiny pinholes to form in the pipe. A good plumber will clean their pipes down to stop this from happening otherwise you get minute water leaks that can get worse very quickly.

UV-C is the main disinfecting UV light source, but you dont want to go near it because UV-C destroys pretty much anything which is why most of it is blocked in the upper atmosphere.

I know hospitals use it to clean wards and rooms, but it will destroy materials much more quickly, ideally hospitals would clean a ward and room like normal to remove ground on dirt and then use the robots that move around shining UV-C all over the place.
Am I reading this correctly that at 7nm intel had >2x the transistor density of TSMC and their 7nm node is still ahead of TSMCs 5nm node on that measure?

A question I intuit but probably has a fallacy of some kind: if you want to enforce the law for dangerous and violent people, doesn’t it seem reasonable you’ll need at least equally if not more dangerous and violent people to do so? And wouldn’t a natural result of that be that those dangerous and violent “enforcers” emulate the same kind of organizational underpinnings as those they are enforcing against?

Imagine there wasn’t a rule of law at all and no police officers. A gang of “baddies” forms. What would be a natural response to the formation of that gang? Wouldn’t it be a gang of “also baddies but baddies whose interests align more closely with ours?”

When I first moved to Sacramento from LA I saw multiple attempts to build high density housing projects seemingly get delayed by neighbors occupying admittedly beautiful and restrained early-20th century single family homes.

Most notably somebody bought and bull-dosed Dimple, an amazing used music / movies / clothing store near the original Tower Records location, with the intention of putting a multistory housing development there. That was years ago and of course its still just a huge crumbling concrete lot fenced in with barbed wire.

But since pandemic restrictions lifted we've seen a ridiculous number of 3-5 story housing developments going up all over midtown. It's honestly shocking and so far they look beautiful intermingled with the overgrown trees and houses built in the early 1900s.

We've got our problems in Sac but it feels like a vision of the future of California. I hope I start to see this with the same frequency more when I visit the bay.

The paper does not make that claim. According to the paper the probability of recovering the correct value of a single bit is 96% for a pristine drive and 56% for a used drive, both better than a coin toss. Of course the probability gets worse if one tries to recover more bits (but still better than n coin tosses for n bits).
From an outsider's perspective, at a glance, LA's case sounds very redundant when they also have an LAPD?

I mean, it makes sense having the distinction between the FBI and municipal police forces and state police forces when the state forces primarily police non-municipal areas like expressways and can provide some more mobile backup when there's a local crisis that exceeds a local force's ability to manage.

But I don't understand the logic of having so many overlapping police service organizations beyond that.
It's common for a patient with a chronic mystery symptom to be dismissed with "You seem very anxious. Anxiety can cause blah blab blah." plus a useless-to-harmful prescription. A legible-to-doctors test for 'anxiety', which doctors are expected to use, might help reduce this kind of stupidity.
