> Those who write articles and engage in battles of attrition over article content are not idealists doing it for the sake of humanity. Instead they are marketeers getting paid to polish celebrities biographical articles, authors peddling books about the joy of circumcision, people paid by governments to carry out psy-ops, etc.

Or obsessive low-level ideologues, who have little else going on in their lives, pushing some agenda. My impression that's the largest group.

To be fair, a Bluetooth keyboard/ mouse , plus HDMI out gets you to what most people use computers for.

I'm more afraid of laptops turning into phones, via Microsoft Store/ App Store, scary "unknown publisher" warnings, etc. It's getting harder and harder to run what you want on computers.

This is similar to my situation. I am a fit individual that is in the gym five days a week, runs marathons, backcountry skis multiple times a week, etc. and have diagnosed sleep apnea. However, I can't for the life of me get through a single night with the machine to the point where it has sat in a closet for months. I also sleep on my side or stomach so I immediately wake up to the mask blasting air at me due to a seal. The nose pillows didn't work as well.
Emotionally intelligent and kind men also want emotionally intelligent and kind women.

I don't want to say much more beyond this, but I don't think that ideal is the standard behavior for either sex. The common person wants someone better than them and they're not entitled to it.

Those who "believe the same things about nationality, gender roles, same sex marriage, etc., as even pretty liberal Bangladeshis" are free to practice their beliefs. But they should expect forceful pushback if they try to compel others to conform to those beliefs as well.*

* With the usual caveat of assuming that nonconformance to those beliefs doesn't cause harm to other "people" — and on that, Blackmun got it more or less right in Roe.

The guy think he is funny and is basically projecting his own privileged status like mad and thinking the reader is like him.

As you say, 2 points in that terribly written article are valid around the damage that NGOs cause (destroying demand, not being sustainable) but it's mostly a gotcha at Susan and Tom, his fictional neighbours from his own clearly out of touch reality.

General advice for spaced repetition is to make flashcards atomic i.e. as small as possible, as in the OP, but general advice for language learning is to always learn words in context instead of on it's own, for example in example sentences. Have you figured out a solution combining those two goals?

Sure, anything can leak. Brazed fittings when executed properly and tested are much less likely to _start leaking_. the issue is that the flares have a tendency to work harden during the constant vibration and thermal cycling and eventually give up.
WinCE was nice in terms of kernel but it was really begging for a decent UI. Palm and Psion did have that part covered.
I think most adults would say the same thing about their own lives, they hunger for deep connections with other people. Covid just made this worse. It's a human desire in our world, and it's not because of naked pics on the internet.

>> with national unemployment continuing to tick down amidst job creation.

There is alot of problems with this metric. First and foremost as that we need to redefine what "unemployment" means, as there are alot of people unemployed that do not count in that metric and conversely some employed people that are counted as unemployed.

The changing types of work (gig economy, etc) need to change how we count things.

Further Decreases in high paying jobs while creating low paying jobs does not seem like it should be something to be celebrated or pointed to as a robust economic activity, in short not all jobs are created equal
you're talking about training on flashcards. I'm talking about making the flash cards. of course using other people's cards isn't going to work (as well) - you don't have any context around them.
FYI, many of us are indeed running 65B. I’m running 65B at 4-bit and getting about 7.5 tokens per second. Granted, I have a beefy machine with 2x 3090s and Nvlink but certainly well within the realm of any small lab.
The entire thing read as a bit of an ad hominem. Skeptics can be tribal like anybody else, and they can get things wrong or not investigate things that should be. Ok, that's all true but not particularly insightful. Picking one thing that the Skeptical community seems to accept and then focusing on it with good arguments and evidence instead of attacking "Skeptics" would have been more useful and likely better received.
Yeah I'm using GPU inference. The vicuna 13B model uses 26.3GB of VRAM with my setup. I'm running it split between two rtx4090s which gives me about 20 token/s.
U.S. bank lending slumps by most on record in final weeks of March
I think it has a lot more to do with everyone who was considering an upgrade jumping on the m1. Apple's macbook pipeline is now dry since most of their customers now have a new computer.
I would be even more worried, because then they have a bigger excuse to kill off product lines for real computers.

The problems isn't just the form factor. It's primarily that phones and tablets are significantly dumbed down, closed, and more user hostile devices. Windows is already trending more toward the phone experience with dumbed down interfaces, forced updates, telemetry, and ads baked in and it has made it all but unusable. I want less of that, not more.

Computers need to work for, and be owned by, the user. We had that, and we're rapidly losing ground.
I think that porting WinCE in the same manner would be more promising.

That OS had was really a solid foundation, I have no idea why MS abandoned the project. To make modern UI layer on top of it and it may fly.

Ergot-ism.

Ergot is a fungus / mold that grows on grain, esp. types of wheat or rye. Rye in particular has a reputation. A whole towns supply of grain gets wet -- bad rains after harvest -- and everyone catches the ergot poisoning.

The toxins produced by ergot are vasoconstrictors -- they can often choke off blood pumping enough to cause gangrene in the weak / old / sick. Moving a lot, i.e. "dancing" forces the blood to pump harder and keeps your toes from dying from lack of oxygenated blood.

Ergot also contains a precursor to LSD, and is said to correlate with hallucinations. LSD itself was discovered by scientists trying to isolate ergot toxins for medical vasoconstrictor use (e.g. give a small dose to a surgery patient or something to minimize bleeding).

But basically your extremities are desperate for blood and you're tripping balls so you dance, move, etc. just to keep going.
I'm not sure how that's your conclusion.

> [Dawkins] hates religion so much that it impairs his scientific judgment.

We can all agree that no one is perfect. But let's also agree that impaired thinking is indeed the enemy. Every time there is impaired thinking, a hornswoggle of the innocent and the credulous is probably well underway.

And the crucial moment to challenge impaired thinking is when it presumes to dictate public policy.

Even if some were dancing for physiological reasons, it would be arbitrary to discount the people who join in for social reasons.
Just regarding the US healthcare stuff- life expectancy is determined by public health measures, medicine is just tinkering around the fringes of that. The US has lower life expectancy because of higher obesity rates, gun deaths, traffic deaths, and drug overdoses. Until resurrection is patented medicine obviously cannot bring back to life a patient who's just been shot or died in a car accident. So the 'the US spends a lot on healthcare but has low life expectancy' argument is a non-sequitur, public health is an entirely separate field. There's still a criticism of the US there, it's just subtly different from the one he's making.

I don't want to mention his other errors because they're culture-war bait, but I saw two not just enormous inaccuracies but famously partisan ones that are endlessly repeated despite being trivially easy to disprove. So, while I like his overall argument here, the glaring partisan inaccuracies doesn't exactly raise my opinion of Horgan as a thinker
> most people are lazy

Most people collectively hold less than 1 or 2 percent of the stocks.

People and funds who have 100 billion invested won't be lazy.
Also people that didn't need to upgrade their machines upgraded anyway cause the M1 jump was so significant.

I was supplied a decently-specced late-2019 16-inch i9 MBP for work when I started in mid-2020. Basically about the best Intel MBP that ever got released. Then the M1's came, I got a 14-inch base model M1 Pro (which I calculate to have cost about 1/2 the price work paid for my machine) and it runs circles around the work machine. I haven't run benchmarks or anything but in general performance, app startup time, even just how long it takes to redraw the desktop when I plug/unplug a monitor is night and day.

The Intel -> Apple Silicon jump is significant, but if you bought a specced out M1 Max or something, there's not going to be a reason to upgrade for a while.

Horgan isn't exactly wrong. Accepting "established science" is always anti-science. How will you know Einstein was correct if you don't endeavor to test his hypothesis?
The times were never easier for the laptop class to get self employed and leaving the hamster wheel.

Use the setting to limit the number of daily cards when you find the number bothers you or you’re too busy. You can change it often, too.

A low limit will mean some cards don’t hit on the optimal day, but you’ll eventually have time for every card once enough of them have been recalled a few times.
I thought I'd get a freebie there (like when you lose weight just by cutting soda - which I already don't drink. Another freebie lost), but when I paid attention I am breathing exclusively through my nose and to make matters worse my tongue is in the mewing position. So this is already the best case scenario for my weight, sleep and jawline. Bummer.
The PC isn't what I had in mind as comparison; it did not become a meaningful gaming/non-business software platform until cheap clones c. 1985 gave it a substantial home presence.

I chose December 1983 because it was close to the peak of the Tandy 8-bit market. Compare the TRS-80 magazines I mentioned to Compute!'s Gazette's December 1983 issue <https://archive.org/details/1983-12-computegazette/mode/2up?...>. It's still early in the C64's lifespan, but Atarisoft, Epyx, Sierra, SubLOGIC, Avalon Hill, Infocom, and Access already have a presence. A year later <https://archive.org/details/1983-12-computegazette/mode/2up?...>, by which time the C64 has essentially seized the entire US 8-bit non-Apple market, Broderbund, EA, Sega, Weekly Reader, Davidson, SSI, and MicroProse are also present.

This is one of the big dangers I see in economics right now. Too many people believe that a "strong job market" equals a strong economy. Boiling all economics down to the unemployment numbers is very dangerous
I have M1 iPad Pro and MacBook Pro. I don’t see that the new gear offers any real advantages. Same with my 3 year old Apple Watch and my iPhone 11 - every thing just works great.

Github issues, even low quality ones, are welcom here.

This a refreshing line to read. I wonder if the missing “e” (welcom vs welcome) is intentional. It sounds like and easy (low quality?) PR.
1. No it's not lol. If the model was only trained on that much data, it wouldn't be anywhere near as good in french. 1.8% is only enough here because it trained on other languages as well.

GPT-3 is also fluent in languages with less training data.

3. LLMs trained on code score noticeably higher on reasoning benchmarks

You need vaccines because diseases thrive in different climates, and the vaccines from your home government only cover- duh- the ones in your local climate.
Tbqh I probably get a bit prickly when the subject of Dawkins comes up for a few reasons. In part because of what I already mentioned, about Dawkins being an edgy influence on me for a time, but also because religious people I meet now seem to often assume I'm presently a Dawkins fanboy, as though atheism and Dawkins are a package deal like christianity and Jesus.

So, while I agree that some people may find Dawkin's arguments persuasive, I bristle at the suggestion that he's an important driving force behind modern atheism in the west. I view him mostly as a grifter who's found a way to monetize a social trend, not as an important leader of that trend.
I'm going to be curious to see how it plays out with trained and ethically aware psychologists. However, just because they have their PhD or MD or DO doesn't mean they're not charlatans or that they're definitely good people.
Cheers! Indeed a bit of planning can work, even in a mostly capitalist system. Take WalMart as an example. It's annual revenues dwarf the GDP of many small countries. And yet it is centrally managed, planned, and rather efficient!
I worked with someone who had previously been a senior engineer at one or maybe more than one hard drive manufacturers.

He told me about a project he had worked on where they collaborated with Microsoft to make something that would make the OS boot significantly faster working with their hard drive. I'm filling in blanks in my memory here, but I think it involved a combination of putting some files in flash memory (hybrid disk) as well as storing files on the spinning disk in the order they'd be accessed.

It worked! They were able to make boot process significantly faster. But consumers would never see it.

The punchline was, it turns out many peripheral devices and drivers rely on the boot process being slow that all kinds of race conditions and intermittent bugs and glitches turned up as soon as they started testing on a wider range of PCs. Even if you solved the dependency and order of scheduling problems on the main thread of the OS loading, devices may have microcontrollers that are slow to come online or drivers initializing independently.

(You might object well doesn't the hardware or driver have a "ready for first query" flag or something like that. Well that depends on hardware manufacturers doing the right thing, thinking of that ahead of time to add it to the interface, and implementing it correctly. This would be something that had never been tested because previously there was always XX seconds before the OS tried to query the device for the first time.)

So the moral of the story is the boot process of x86 PCs is still slow because it has always been slow...
True. However, Apple is currently priced at 30x P/E. Lots of growth is priced in.

"Please don’t get the wrong idea that this is a point of controversy within physics!"

I was a little surprised by her comment but perhaps generating controversy is her actual point. It seems to me that with the long-standing and seemingly insurmountable gulf between QM and GR there needs to be more controversy—not less.

I've always considered >c discussions and arguments speculative and hypothetical and my view hasn't changed but with the QM/GR elephant in the room perhaps it's time to remind ourselves of a similar controversy. When Galileo proposed his controversial theory that likely >99.9℅ of the establishment was against him or thought him crazy.
They are referring to the extreme notion of individual responsibility that forms the basis for neoliberalism and also alluding to the notion that market-like logic can be applied to nearly every aspect of life[1].

They didn't seem to define neoliberalism anywhere, which I think is a weak point. The term is rather vague. So I looked at the book for clarification:

Whether one agrees with universal health care or not, this example nevertheless illustrates the fundamental logic of neoliberal culture (which we argue defines our present moment in all spheres): deflect public recognition away from systemic or infrastructural gaps and failings and instead redirect focus on how the individual should have helped optimize their own life. (p. 10, Optimal Motherhood)

In this chapter, they also refer to neoliberal view that people must be completely self-reliant to solve their problems. While some level of self-reliance is vital to survival, not all problems are solvable as an individual.

Tying it back to pregnancy and health, good prenatal care has a massive impact on healthy pregnancies. Prenatal care depends on a multitude of things: is care even available in your region (public health), can you afford to receive that care (public health), can you travel to that care (infrastructure)? Are you able to get off work for those appointments (labor laws)? These are greatly impacted by public policy, which are directly influenced (in the US) by neoliberal ideals.

But instead of asking, "Why are so many miscarriages are happening in region X?" it's easier to deflect by saying, "Those women must not care about their babies enough."

A wet sponge doesn't cause rust, it's occasionally blamed for cracking plating when you use a high temperature.

If you use a moderate temperature (650°F/340°C) it's a gentler way to clean flux residue off the tip.

Brass wool I reserve for scrubbing oxidation off the tip, but this eventually wears through the plating so I don't do this often.

Leaded solder is both toxic and completely unnecessary for hobbyist use. I like SAC305 but SN99.7 works well too—the key is a good quality flux core.

No-clean flux is convenient but if you do want to clean it, it's gummy and makes a mess. "Yes-clean" flux leaves conductive residue so it must be cleaned, but it is easier to clean.

As far as temperature goes, the better your iron is at transferring heat, the lower the tip temperature you can use, which improves tip life and, as you mention, reduces the chance of part damage.

I am a lead dev on an open-source hardware project (PhobGCC) and I've seen damage caused by bad soldering irons time and time again. Don't cheap out. I recommend a Weller WE1010.

>the dopamine system

If I had a nickel for every time someone made a reference to neurotransmitters as an unscientific rhetorical bludgeon, I could probably buy a house in Stinson Beach. There is no "dopamine system", certainly no more than there is an "enkephalin system" or a "glycine system". The age of psychotropic drugs has produced a new generation of pseudoneuroscience, which depicts a brain whose behavior can always be explained in terms of a few neurotransmitters — the four humours for scholars in the academy of YouTube.

Let it be known that the mind deals with information first, and no levels of N-acetylaspartate or 2-arachidonylglycerol, however finely tuned, can teach you how to do calculus or drive a car, or, for that matter, how to have sex. Neurotransmitters, particularly famous neurotransmitters, should only be invoked when there is physical evidence, and the pop-culture equivocation between dopamine release and pleasure itself certainly does not qualify.
Between frames would be too rare for touch. You really do not want touch at just 45Hz. More samples are for averaging for smoothing. The touch controller here is noisy and the board layout waveshare did … does not follow the data sheet recommendations for lowering noise.

And yes screen interface is run as fast as it can as per data sheet. Overclocking the MCU wont help as we are not cycle bound there. Overclocking the SPI bus will work but not far. Past 70MHz it gets glitchy.
