I attended the High School Computing Institute in the summer of 2002 in the CS department (before attending and majoring in physics). I did more graphics with alpha_1 although there was a simulated cassini rover in lisp program there. It was a bunch of fun. I graduated from there but switched to physics because it was easier than EE, and I didn’t think I wanted to do CS.

Christopher Johnson did some of the graphics program, which was most memorable.
More interesting is the early models were apparently made of something other than ABS plastic using wooden molds, then hand finished before painting.

F:NV was a lot better about this IMO.

Right after leaving the docs place you can head to the strip in a straight line, and it will take you through a route with some of the most powerful creatures, like giant radscorpions and cazadors, and if you somehow manage to get past them there is a mining site filled with deathclaws!

There are in game warning signs telling you to not take the route but you are totally free to ignore them.
What's my incentive to host someone's 5TB of pirated Community episodes?
Both methods are common. It's discussed before you start.

Most servers I know prefer to keep their own.
I don't think this is the right approach. The entire point of startups is that they are just starting up. A startup a few weeks in can run on a Raspberry Pi, but in three years they could need half a rack, or a couple dozen racks. Buying expensive hardware is pretty pointless when you already know that it will most likely be inadequate in a few months.

Not to mention that you need quite a lot of money and engineering resources to get it all up and running. And it's never one half rack because you also need to have a secondary site for disaster recovery and backup...

Running your own hardware makes sense once your cloud bill starts hitting five figures and your hardware needs have become predictable. Until you reach that point, you can save yourself a lot of headaches by just using managed cloud resources.
Not exclusive to skaters. It was used in the 1980's by members of more genuine, legitimate subcultures to disparage members of shallower, more phony subcultures. E.g. thrash metal musicians regarded glam rockers as posers.

According to Douglas Harper's etymonline.com, "poser" meaning "one who practices an affected attitude" goes back to 1881, and was revived in teenager slang by 1983. "poseur" with the same meaning precedes "poser" by a little bit.
Apollo’s dev would likely have never talked about the “buy me out thing” unless Reddits CEO had publicly implied he was trying to extort Reddit for money.

Ah yes, the Web Shading Lang dialect of JavaScript.
I think I remember that a ballpark figure (meaning zero significant figures) for how many miles a human typically drives between fatalities is 100 million, or roughly 100 lifetimes' worth.

I also knew a bus driver who had a plaque for going 1 million miles without an accident.
Their HAMR has been shipping for a year is a lot like Intel saying their 10nm was shipping in 2017/2018.

And the end of the day it is about yield and cost. Fortunately NAND is dropping like crazy and selling at below production cost to clear inventory which means sooner of later HDD will have to offer competitive TCO. Hopefully I could soon get an 10TB for $99.
If you’re cooking pancakes, you just wipe it off with some soap and rinse while it’s still warm, and don’t need to do anything else. For other cooking you sometimes need a quick pass with a nylon scraper or something, but it’s still pretty quick and easy.

People mostly really get into trouble when they try to stew tomatoes or something like that (I just keep a steel pan around for really acidic stuff).
Cool idea, but id rather have a local cache of the tips ala unix fortune style vs delaying vim startup waiting for the curl to run and download the tip each time.

> why is that not proof of a net benefit?

Autonomous vehicles may be more prone to certain types of lethal accidents that humans aren't prone to.

Autonomous vehicles may lead to more hours/miles driven, so even if deaths per mile driven are lower, the deaths per person may increase.

Unknown physical or cognitive health effects of being a passenger versus being an active driver.

Just off the top of my head.

Fingers are crossed that autonomous vehicles won't lead to an increase in animal deaths. The roads are bad enough for them as is. I'm hopeful that convoying autonomous vehicles for long trips may be a benefit here.
I think you are confusing deduplication and compression provided by the filesystem vs. deduplication and compression provided by nix.

If you were just storing a static set of pregenerated NAR archives, you will not see any benefit from filesystem-provided compression or deduplication.

If you host a live nix store (i.e. uncompressed files under /nix/store), then you could benefit from filesystem-provided compression and deduplication. Also, nix itself can replace duplicates with hard links. But the downside is then that you have to generate the NAR archives on the fly when a client requests a derivation.

That might be worth it, especially since they get great hit rates from Fastly. But on the other hand, that means a lot more moving parts to maintain and monitor vs. simple blob storage.

This is definitely not true anymore, but if I cite examples I will as always get flagged by people assuming I support said people/communities.

The age of being able to say whatever you like online is dead when your ability to even host your own site can be removed.

The top comment is this sub thread very clearly included the words “even” to imply that while most would not assume software engineers are not exploited because they’re relatively wealthy, they are still being exploited. This very clearly implies that SEs are less exploited—there was absolutely nothing in the original comment that supports your mischaracterization of their point.
There are some ideas only a PhD philosopher can convince themselves of.
>how men feel about women driving is not really a motivator for actuaries at insurance companies who have statistics on male versus female accidents

That's my point. That's my entire point. Well, that and that women are reportedly more vulnerable in accidents too, because of deficiencies in crash testing. It doesn't change the fact that insurance premiums are lower because losses are lower.

When there are enough autonomous vehicles on the road for long enough to generate data for the actuaries, there is no guarantee that insurance rates will bear out the benefit of their purported abilities.

Some asshat weaving through traffic in a BMW can claim to have better reflexes, better brakes, all sorts of things, compared to my grandma, but there is no logical reason why he can claim to be a safer driver if in the long run, his insurance rates are higher. Assuming those rates reflect average losses.
Sure, I suppose we should take all of those factors into consideration when crafting our utility function.

Specialize in something. Consider Drupal. (D7 is going EOL https://www.drupal.org/psa-2023-06-07) and will result in quite a few sites that will either need to be rebuilt or migrated.
The idea that this framing is better than the original really goes to show that superintelligent AIs aren't being discussed because they're a realistic near-future possibility, but because they let techie atheists ponder religious concepts like omnipotence and god without admitting to themselves that that's what they're doing.
And then, when nobody wants to implement all the compression algorithms in a compressor or decompressor, we end up with files out in the wild that only pick one of them anyway.

That chart shows percentage of students getting at least 9 hours of sleep. Holy crap! In high school I used to go to bed around 11PM because my parents made me, and I would stare at the ceiling until I fell asleep at 2 or 3AM. Then my alarm would ring at 6:15 and I’d drag my ass into the shower and be a zombie through at least my first 3 classes. I’d get home at 2:30 and couldn’t keep from falling asleep since I was so exhausted.
I can't tell whether you're joking, wilfully misinterpreting the GP, or something else.

The past few years have highlighted some of the suboptimal machinations of our society, like collusion between government and media to silence domain experts who don't agree with a dominant political narrative[1].

The ethos of the internet is that it's a place where you can say whatever you want--the corollary is that I should be able to read whatever I want if it's being said. The relationship between me and people speaking is being manipulated, so, in that sense the ethos of free speech and the internet is broken.

The conclusion is that, no, in fact, you can't say whatever you want online. Saying that you can't guarantee an audience (without more context) makes your statement seem pejorative, as though the speaker feels entitled to an audience. The GP alludes to the free exchange of ideas, which your statement seems to ignore.

Yeah, my most recent throwaway Reddit account has 62.5k in only 9 months.
Why are we talking about insurance at all? I assume with autonomous vehicles, insurance rates will tend towards 0 over time. We are talking about net deaths, it doesn't matter what the insurance rates are as long as we count the number of deaths before and after autonomous vehicles, and if the latter is fewer than the former, then that's a net good. Again, if AVs are truly better, this will be reflected in their statistics and therefore whatever the actuaries see.

I have noticed an increasing trend for articles with an enticing title fail to set-up the premise of the title within the first few paragraphs, then continue to ramble on seemingly forever without ever attempting to form a cohesive concise narrative leaving me scrolling for where it connects with the title and lost to what they're actually trying to say.
Sort of a nitpick, but really not: length has nothing to do with whether a rifle is a "battle rifle". The difference between a battle rifle and assault rifle is all about the cartridge, not length of the barrel.
I completely agree with this, but fundamentally I think that there is more value from identifying with the similarities between workers of all wage range. I was mainly just arguing against the point that the top reply in this sub thread was implying that high wage workers are somehow more exploited.

There was a serious study in the UK where high schoolers should be starting at 10 am school.

They changed school hours for them, so I have to disagree. I was seriously penalized because I was useless early in the morning, so I'm still quite annoyed by this.
This sounds like a conclusion that can be reached only when we understand real brains.
Weirdly teachers and the education system are some of the most anti-science when it comes to how they structure anything, they seem to ignore all recent discoveries about neurological development and refuse to integrate it into their degrees and certifications and the only changes administrations are willing to make are more what benefits them and the teachers (making kids take work home rather than doing it in class and guiding them), not the students.

>> But military histories of the conquest support the assertion that the small parties of Spanish soldiers were able to defeat much larger Native armies thanks primarily to their superior steel weapons and organizational capacity, in line with Diamond’s argument.

I don't have a bone to pick with Diamond, but this widely disseminated narrative lacks nuance. When people say that a few Spaniards conquered the largest Mesoamerican empires, at least when it comes to Mexico and the Aztecs, they are forgetting an important detail. When the ragtag band of mercenaries and adventurers following Hernán Cortés arrived at Mexico, they landed smack in the middle of a long-running regional war between the "Aztecs", i.e. the people of Tenochtitlan, and, basically, everyone else in the area. And of course, in the typical fashion of foreign invaders, the Spaniards immediately became fast allies with the enemies of Tehnochtitlan as the dominant power [1].

Thus, every time the Conquistadores fought the armies of Tenochtitlan, besides their guns, germs, and steel, and horses [3], they had with them thousands of allied local warriors, mainly from Tlaxcala, if I remember correctly, at least enough to stand up to the numbers of the Aztecs' armies [2].

Note that towards the end of the campaign, Tlaxcalla and the other kingdoms were indeed devastated by smallpox. But the same disaster was suffered by the people of Tenochtitlan, also. The Spaniards really were the plague [4].

[1] This is a story that has played out many times in history. For instance, when the Crusaders landed in the Holy Land, they immediately found themselves enmeshed in the constant churn of alliances and wars in the Middle East. Half of the time, half of the locals tried to kill them and the other half they tried to get them to help them kill the other half. The same thing happened in Iraq, when the US invaded. It is a story as old as invasion.

[2] In much the same way, when the Spartans held Thermopylae, until that dog Efialtes, gave them to the Persians, the 300 were not, well, 300; more like 7000, at least at the start of the battle. Even in their famous last stand the 300 Spartans were accompanied by 700 Thespians and 400 Thebans. The rest of the 7000 left to fight another day. Not that it would have made any difference anyway, not against the fully might of the Persian empire. Remember Leonida's apocryphal quip: when he was told that the Persians' arrows would be so many that they would darken the sun, Leonidas said "good, we'll be fighting in the shade".

Why isn't there a simple study on how delaying school starts improve scores using existing data?

Literally today, most schools start at the exact same "time" (8:00am). But there's a big shift in actual solar time if you're on the far east or far west of a given time zone: https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/03/03/article-2572317-1...

Do we see across the US a huge SAT score difference between kids on the most east of Pacific time and kids on west of Central time, and between kids east of Central time and west of Eastern time?

And within a the states that are pretty uniform (not the costal ones, as the socioeconomic differences would probably be too big), is there a big difference of SAT scores between the eastern-most highschoolers and Western-most highschoolers?
I never said that about what the lens reveals. The thing is that it doesn't reveal truth. It's a tool that you only use when you need, not a dogma that is guaranteed to hold.

"There is a self I can pinpoint" is as valid as "There isn't a self I can pinpoint". "God(s) exist(s)" is as valid as "God(s) doesn't(don't) exist". When I have this problem, I can use a hammer. When I have this other, I need a CNC mill. That's my understanding.

> It's as if there are two worlds in the US.

The US is very far from a monoculture. Culture and personal values vary greatly from one family to the next, even within the same region.

I worked for a company with a lot of non-US offices with a lot of younger people who always had a lot of questions about US culture. I think they got tired of me explaining that the US is extremely diverse when it comes to culture and values. They always wanted one, singular answer about how people in the US do things in their personal and family lives. When describing their own countries, they’d confidently say “Here, we all do it this way” as if their entire country followed a singular culture. It was interesting to see how this sense of monoculture (however unrealistic) varied from country to country, but rarely applied to discussions about the US.

Of course, internet commenters love to generalize about US people, generally in a negative light. Even US citizens love to criticize the US. However, one of the things I love most about living here is the wide array of values and cultures and the freedom to do your own thing

Geekbench is multithreaded. Intel's semi-multithreading on a single core also helps it out in multithreading tests because MT benchmarks are generally ideal for the scenario.

I think the single core performance matters for the majority of the apple product line: varying degrees of single core perf bounds, and performance/watt are important to anything with a battery, and that's clearly what they've optimized for.

That breaks down for actual wall connected "I am doing numerics" performance that you expect/want from a Mac Pro or Studio (I feel an iMac is still intended as a low power/quiet machine).

Personally I was hoping for some improvement on the desktop GPU front - afaict the Mx GPUs do well ... for integrated GPUs. They don't seem to hold a candle to desktop GPUs in PCs.
Just shouting this request into the ether, but if these reddit client developers teamed up to create a new alternate backend with a small API fee, the result could be amazing.

A combination of their power user base and a small monthly subscription fee for access could result in something that can retain a niche subreddit feel across the site.

With the possible exception of /r/science the larger subreddits are flooded in low effort posts and mostly unusable.

Apple solved the problem of wanting a large screen,
a full keyboard, in a small device

I... find this a little revisionist and/or reductionist.

Yes, Apple did those things. I disagree that they only solved "pain points." They took the concept of a smartphone into a new direction by in many cases explicitly disregarding what the public wanted. I don't love the iPhone, actually. I wish it was open instead of closed. This is not meant as a defense of Apple per se but I feel you've got the history a bit wrong.

Generally speaking, folks did not want a large screen. A lot of people, particularly men, explicitly wanted the smallest phone possible.

Many "power users" were hardcore members of the Blackberry camp. They didn't really care about fancy screens. They wanted hardcore messaging devices geared toward people who needed to be in constant communication via text, email, etc.

There were also hacker types who wanted to use their phones as open software platforms, SSH terminals, etc.

Apple disregarded all of them and did something different. Love them or hate them they did a lot more than just "solve pain points."
