Yep that is a good solution that is popular as far as I've read. I've tried this as well initially but in my case this didn't work out due to the fact that the heat pump is too powerful for the house (about a factor of 2). And due to how slow the underfloor heating responds, I get huge overshoots when I use a controller like that.

So I had to figure out a way to switch it off earlier than reaching the setpoint, which lead to my poor man's solution of just calculating the house's heat loss.
Simplicity is asserted as much as it is true. Such that, you will be surprised how effective saying something is simple is at getting uptick in it. My goto evidence for this, for a while, has been Python. It is no "simpler" than pretty much any other option nowadays. What it has going for it is an audience that as bought in to how simple it is. And they evangelize it. With those terms. Heavily.

Is it somewhat obnoxious? I mean, yeah. I'm very sympathetic to the idea. At old job, we would harp on "weasel words" that were there and served no purpose. But, there is a catch, they absolutely work on audiences that are not primed against them. Can they be overdone? Absolutely, but there are solid reasons you will see them over and over.
And it's easier for people who know OCaml to set up new personal projects in OCaml like they're used to ;-)
Without the first attempt, we wouldn’t be talking about many of the suspicious procedural and technical failures that occurred with the successful attempt, because he wouldn’t have been moved and placed on suicide watch. Your explanation doesn’t make sense because it would have made the job harder and introduced more suspicion and none of it would have been difficult to foresee.
If it's consistent, it's not a glitch.
Let's say that the terms of a trust dictate that interest revenue be immediately paid out to a specific charity, but you are allowed to spend the principal. Are you poor?

So are you then arguing that, since the average is no difference in discrimination except small wage discrimination in favor of men and hiring in favor of women , the reality is larger discrimination against men and women that averages out mostly?
As a non-USAer I'm so glad he went beyond domestic spying. He showed the world how the USA spied on many of its supposed allies. The scope of the system of espionage they built is orwellian and just astonishing.

If there is one evil force conspiring for global domination that is the NSA and whichever institution they take order from. Thanks again, Snowden.

What I don't understand is the complete lack of response from countries like Italy and Germany once they found out being spied by an ally. Imagine what the USA would have done if the roles were reversed.
AR has more utility than VR , and i think telepresence requires elements of both.

Book tours are still a thing. minus the money. Although maybe the big authors like King, Martin, Gaiman, Rowling, Sanderson, get something out of it.
There has to be some incredible lag in the news media, to be reporting this at this time when Meta managed to almost triple its stock price in less than a year. Meta beat all analyst estimates in its earnings call, whatever Meta is doing it’s working. My only regret is not investing enough into Meta when it was 90$ (Now it’s 240$)
I worked in a part of Amazon that had a lot of ability to help detect and flag this sort of fraud. I had to fight hard to get even a proof of concept project greenlit.

There was exteme organizational disinterest - partly for a bad but predictable reason (we made a lot of money off these fraudsters) and partly for a reason so bad it still makes me cringe (money recovered from identified fraudsters went into the balance sheet of a different SVP's org, so our org viewed it as a waste of time).

I made the case that the longer we let the problem fester, the less people would trust Amazon to buy anything. Leadership didn't really care but got sick of me constantly making noise about this and eventually signed off. That said, at my project's peak I had four engineers and one data scientist. Compare to consumer fraud and vendor fraud, both of which negatively impact Amazon directly, which were fought by entire VP-level orgs of hundreds of people.

In the end we put together a system that detected blatant fraud easily and in worrying volume, but as soon as I left - which meant there wasn't anyone in leadership sponsoring it - it was quietly mothballed.
I get your point but I wouldn't call it an academic paper disclaimer, it is giving you the scope/breadth of their research. That is why I took the whole paragraph, they are saying they found a bias in hiring. That is a specific slice of "Academic Science," that the HigherEd article is calling out but only a slice. That is why the

"We did not examine systemic claims of bias, such as the tenure schedule that imposes inflexible time-career paths or structural societal norms that burden women with greater responsibilities outside of their academic jobs or that penalize women for negotiating forcefully for wage increases or seeking outside offers. Other scholars have identified a myriad of such systemic barriers. "

part is important, it specifically is saying there has been a lot of work showing systemic barriers but they are not researching that part. This isn't a critique of their research but of the summary articles headline and what some people seem to be taking away from that headline. Even in the HigherEd piece it says there are concerns and this research is to help identify where there has been progress and where we need to focus.

Comparing the situation to normal occurrences, when everyone in the entire nation, presumably also the guards, knew he was a high-profile prisoner?
Merit scholarships run the gamut. I typically don’t bucket merit scholarships in with financial aid because it is often need blind.

And while there are probably few if any explicit scholarships for white students there are several that have never gone to anything but. Lots of organizational scholarships where nearly everyone in the org is white. Or even large orgs that tilt heavily white such as DAR and the Elks Lodge.

And if you were to add up all merit scholarships the dollar amounts for those that are race based pale in comparison to those that aren’t. And adding in financial aid makes the numbers minuscule.

EDIT: When you say there are no scholarships for white students do you mean that whites are prohibited from winning any scholarships? Or that there are no scholarships exclusively for whites?

Plus and Windows Phone (and Zune) were decent though. I think they just blundered the launches or marketing.
To Musk haters, any bit of news concerning Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, etc. is just waiting to be spun into a negative headline that can then be an excuse to whine about him. Somehow the smear campaign against him seems to be more effective than most in shaping opinion in the tech sphere. I've noticed coworkers whom I thought were reasonable rational people turn into playground-bully types since the Twitter acquisition, bringing him up in work-related chatrooms just to insult him, sharing hit pieces, memes and tweets with the same intent, etc. Others seem afraid of getting cancelled for praising anything he does, and preface any positive or neutral statement about him with "I think he's a <some negative trait>, but...".

I must say that I don't really understand takeout for higher-end restaurants for the most part. The food is probably on its way to getting cold by the time you get it home and the recipes weren't really designed with takeout in mind.

Once again ARM being an unmitigated superfund waste dump just haunts the world.

If this was a PC situation these low cost Android computers would, regardless of their malware infested OS, be valuable & useful & exciting pieces of hardware.

But this is ARM. These boxes require incredible skill & hackerly to begin to modify or use. They are opaque, un-malleable, hard set in their ways.
I'm not sure I believe much about what Snowden released. I see him as more of a psyop agent than a whistleblower. The govt could have orchestrated that whole ordeal to instill a chilling effect on the population, none of it had to be true for the population to react and self censor
At best, "trivial", "just", "simply" are all noise words. They add no context.

At worst they are targeted at the wrong audience. The writer doesn't actually know how knowledgeable or experienced the reader is.

So if you're a writer or you're simply (heh) writing docs for a library you're working on, and you're decent at this task so you take a moment to reflect on how your audience might read your writing, why would you use the word at all?

> is that the reason why tech documentation has slowly been evolving into 50-minute step-by-step YouTube tutorials that start with installing the IDE?

Instead of falling into the trap of "kids these days" short-sighted whining, perhaps consider that the barriers to creating and sharing content have never been lower. More content targeted at beginners seems like a natural conclusion to me, since it reaches the widest audience.
How to pick a data recovery service?
SSD drive completely failed. Two regular computer stores said their software couldnt recover anything nor did putting it into another computer, and that it would have to go to a SSD recovery service.

But how do you know who's qualified to do it? And I assume cheaper does not always mean better, but no one post rates of course. Like the data is worth a few hundred bucks maybe, but its not worth a few thousand. So where do you choose? Im in AB, Canada.
For a brief moment during 2020, you could see the hype actually meet reality when a wave of VR startups that promised to transport us "as if we were really there" to the office. Now, you can choose to be cynical about that but I think it genuinely did live up to the hype when I could remote in to a full infinite-screen workstation and interact much more freely with coworkers than a Zoom call.

These days, I see it much more commonly used for training purposes now that we are all being forced back to the office.
Since both parties have a track record of increasing the size and scope of government in most measurable ways I can think of, I’m not even sure which half you’re talking about!
I agree. There has been tremendous whiplash in the markets. We went from free money and “new paradigms” to QT belt tightening and broken dreams. If people think they could lead better than Zuck, they should start a company and beat him.
How about tactical choices like which players to put in which positions, who to guard whom or which zone, etc.? These choices are often made before the game and may only have effects towards the end, when the speed difference between two players becomes larger due to tired legs.

> these sort of issues where people overwhelmingly feel one way, and the political establishment feels another? Yeah, those are all strangely absent.

I feel that Sanders' nomination campaigns epitomized this divide: He spoke for the people. Many more people donated for him than any other candidate, his supporters were diverse and enthusiastic. He was the number one most popular politician in the entire country.

Yet media - quite openly - gave him far less coverage, were 3x more negative in the coverage they did give, studiously ignored the attacks and cheating from the political establishment, systematically smeared his supporters, and then blamed him when Hilary (number one disliked Democrat in America) lost.

And smart people, rational people with functioning memories, apparently, seemed to just... not want to talk about it.

And then it happened again, with even more obvious collusion, four years later. And we talked about it even less, just relieved that we wouldn't have another 4 years of that.

Bringing it all up now feels like you're reopening someone else's closed scab. People are auto-rewriting their own version history to help themselves feel less abused, it seems. They don't want to hear it. And this is (many of) the people who were even clued in to it all in the first place.

Only Sanders wanted Snowden to be honored for his actions. Hilary wanted him to "face the music". It could all hardly be more obvious. And yet...
>>Especially given the airframe was so new

Was it a new airframe though? Not too sure that statement is correct...
Same thing on 12 mini. I think 6gb of ram is a little low for this.
Yes.

Microsoft and Google, their RISC-V efforts we already know about.

Android RISC-V port, already merged upstream, was an effort funded by by Chinese SoC vendors. Capable chips and smartphones will follow, this is an inevitability.

As for AWS, GCP and Azure (sorted them in actual order of relevance), they will definitely start offering RISC-V support at some point and then we can see whether it picks up.

But high performance server hardware is a prerequisite for this to be possible, thus my parent post.
What you just described is a failure of government to setup appropriate water rights. It has nothing to do with mining. The same exact thing happens with agriculture.
I have friends that got married, never had kids, and spend large chunks of their free time in MMORPGs, League of Legends, and a seemingly endless array of virtual-based entertainment. They also seem to get a lot of personal meaning and satisfaction from nerd pop culture like Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings which is evidence that their rich fantasy lives have such deep meaning for them.

So I find it totally plausible that a huge amount of people would spend large amounts of time in a more immersive virtual world, provided it wasn’t clunky and caused headaches.
> I don't believe I've ever run anything that's ever pushed my phone this hard, and you can feel the heat. The text output performance is pretty inconsistent, it was very fast at first but slowed down considerably after a few answers.

Those two events are causally related. The OS has to throttle down the CPU or else it will overheat and malfunction.

It is one of the reasons why heavy number crunching is often performed on the cloud instead.
llama.cpp is not using the GPU, it runs fine on the CPU (if fast enough)

I've scoured the web page for ram requirements for the various models but I can't see anything, will it be able to run let's say the 30B open assistant llama or 65B raw llama model on a consumer gpu (let's say 3060 with 12gb vram) using this?

Not trying to take anything away, but the readme etc is very lacking in actual technical details I feel without reading through the code or actually testing it.
> There is no distinction between "nature" and anything else.

Yet here you are calling us "denatured, psychologically damaged people."

Is that not you making a distinction between us and nature? What's so bad about being denatured if there's no distinction between nature and everything else? You can't be denatured if you _are_ nature, it's contradictory.

What exactly is your view here?
It will eventually become one of the most significant technologies in history, alongside AI, in my opinion.

People are confusing bulky headsets with the general concept of VR. If I showed you a working holodeck today you would think it significant.

Mark made the right choice to go balls deep on VR when he did. I don't think he should dial back. When going through hell, keep going.
fortunately there is a large choice of rocks and wood, and that's customisable a bit for wood
> Just one or two cycle hardware innovation may make VR successful.

They already achieved something like a 10x cost reduction with the Quest in a few HW generations.

I think their worse mistake was tying up Oculus devices to Facebook accounts. Oculus should have stayed a separate platform with minimal ties to Facebook with it's own social features.
Their sales, profit, and revenue also dropped by a decent amount compared to last quarter, while Tesla’s sales increased.

What’s the point of this article being on HN?
Isn’t that always the case? Management and Administration are the two things that latch on to any organization, bloat it, introduce inefficiencies and then create a career out of trying to solve those inefficiencies.

They ultimately don’t solve them because the way they try to solve it is by hiring more people.
Their focus on making Facebook for mobile platforms was smart, their efforts to make a mobile phone were late and substandard. By critical acquisitions I assume you mean Instagram and WhatsApp. Both were anti-competitive attempts to stave off becoming the next MySpace (but also successful). Everything else on the list of acquisitions looks like gambles that did not pay off.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitio...

Google, Microsoft, and Apple have never bet such a huge chunk of their spending on a single tech that has been so resoundingly mocked. The amount Meta is spending on VR makes the Windows phone look like a drop in the bucket. It's not that they are speculating on a moonshot, it's that they are wasting so much of their money on a single moonshot.
I think "simply" as a synonym for "instead" is part of the problem here. "Instead" is probably the better option in most cases. For example, in the case you gave, "instead" is the clearer word choice because it clarifies that you are (only) presenting an alternative course of action, rather than offering a value judgement on that action. Similarly, "only" is generally better than "just", because again, it tends to be less loaded and more explicit.

This won't be applicable to all writing - writing for entertainment or to make an argument will look very different - but in technical writing, clarity is key, and words like "just" and "simply" are usually less obvious than their "only" and "instead" counterparts.
It's easy to look like a visionary leader when people will rewrite history for you. Facebook was famously late to mobile and almost missed the boat. Luckily, they had the resources to plow into catching up around 2012.
Of course I'm refusing it. We're talking about computers, not squirrels gaining the ability to talk and beg for mercy. Computers operate on a certain set of constraints. Unless you can directly identify how AI circumvents those computational constraints, we're at an impasse. Computer cruelty laws don't exist for a reason.
> But we do see prices approach optimal.

Where do you see that? What does it even mean, how can you objectively tell what is the optimal price for a good or service, so that you can later say that the market converged to it?

For example, is 1000$ the optimal price for an iPhone? Or is it simply the price Apple chose? If they sold it for 500$, would they make more or less money? How do you know?

> And clearly markets do follow the law of supply demand at the macro level, when long periods of time are considered, otherwise commodity pricing would be entirely arbitrary and wouldn’t in anyway reflect the value of the commodity to society at large.

I would argue that it often is, at least for many non-essential products. The price of many non-essential goods is much much higher than the price of essentials, even when those non-essential goods are cheap and easy to manufacture (say, softdrinks or many cosmetics). The price of most energy resources is largely controlled by non-market forces, even on the face of it.

Also, why restrict this discussion to commodities? If we switch to investments, the price of stocks is quite obviously arbitrary as well, with "market makers" often controlling the allowed prices (or at least, price volatility) for stock. The price of real-estate is often determined to a large extent by the price of borrowing, and that is quite explicitly set by banks and the central bank based on nothing related to supply and demand. Services are even more complex, with huge variations in price based on entirely subjective factors.
Chinese state officials don't have to look far when they want to point out the hypocrisy of the charges the US levies against their country. I've seen them take easy shots on Twitter just like the left vs right partisanship, "haha your side is hypocritical!" "Well so is yours!" and on and on...

I wish we had a better example to show to the world.

I bought a technical book from Amazon recently, and it looks extremely legit. However, when I got to Chapter 4, only the sidebars and titles were printed—not the main text. The pirates had some kind of typesetting error, and a whole chapter was borked. So not only do I feel duped that I gave the scammers money, I had to rebuy the book (more carefully this time).

I’m saying it’s not useful in policy as measurement of poverty. Poverty is and forever will be defined by income. Wealth is used in policy like everything else, yes of course. Tax policy is a great example. Is there anything that tax policy doesn’t have loopholes and special provisions for? I’d argue that wealthy people benefit from all that. Poor people benefit from clear and effective policies that use simpler, less game-able constructs. Getting into the business of trying to define nebulous hard to define constructs like wealth will benefit those with greater resources, always.
Industry titans can still make mistakes and it's important to recognise them. The examples you give are decades old. I agree that VR may yet turn around but at the moment needs dictate a pivot in focus.
