> Sometimes people try psychedelics and have great experiences just like that! Sometimes they try psychedelics and they have baaaaaad experiences, that are essentially traumatic and result in lingering negative feelings.

> Risk versus reward!

Well something I did not say in my comment but I believe is very important is that it's not just "do drugs, win prizes" it's "take time over a period of years to learn how psychedelics work with your body, try some experiences in emotionally safe spaces, reflect on those trips with your friend and therapist, and develop some confidence to work your way up in dosage as you learn to understand how it works for you".

While some people may be able to randomly take a higher end dose and have a good result, I certainly advocate that people take their time to get in to these substances. I advocate for legalization because of what is possible with very careful use of them as a tool, but it takes some care to learn how to use them properly!

People have a hard on for regional areas, but the practical reality is people enjoy the benefits of living in cities too much to want to live in rural areas. They are also way worse at actually providing for the needs of those people efficiently.
This article is from April 2020, over three years ago.

Since then, both Apple and Google have implemented WebAuthn for passwordless account signin. Best Buy does too.

edit: eBay does too, I remembered right according to the list posted below. Some notable ones are DocuSign, PayPal, Shopify, Adobe, and CVS.
It totally is an official thing or was when I applied. Statistics on legacy vs non-legacy admission rates and how legacy status was factored (the nature of the advantage you got varied by school) in were readily available when I was applying to schools.
When you say rich, you refer to billionaires or millionaires, which may be the exception. But I’m reality even if you compare the top 10% excluding billionaires with the rest, decision making is a very big part of what gets you there. That may not be the only predictor, which was my original comment, but arguing decision making does not affect income inequality is pretty ridiculous.

FWIW Linux is easy to support if all you want to do is run a headless server on a single distro. Supporting more distros may require a little bit of dependency hell bullshit, but it's doable.

Yes, that's true outside of big cities.

I can't wait to see a similar review of Bergamo/Zen 4c. Die shot analysis shows the cores themselves, not counting the L3 cache, are also 35% smaller than regular cores. But most of the specs look the same. There's a huge mystery here and there have got to be some interesting sacrifices.

Maybe maybe maybe 4c is chiefly a process tweak, that going lower power let them use more aggressive process scaling. Maybe. But that's still a huge die-space reduction that makes me think there's some secrets like here in this chip, that chipsandcheese.com was able to uncover with read deep prying/benchmarking.

I do wish the graphs in this article had a comparison processor or two. A regular Zen 3 would be great.
Better title: “not knowing what a table of contents is costs you time” (the one article that this entire piece rests on has a table of contents at the top, but the author counts page down keystrokes to get to a heading that you could get to from there with one click.)
Many people have mentioned that this is incorrect, but I wanted to ask why you thought this?

The Linux kernel repo contains 1.1 million commits and 80k files on master. That would mean a naive total of 88,000,000,000 files being stored as a “full copy of the repository”.

Does this pass the smell test?
There are several variants of the 7713 like this. I have a couple of similar GCP cast-offs that have a 7B13 SKU.
If I get locked out, I expect the ability to reset my passkeys (stored in iCloud primarily) with an email, just like I would with a password reset. Passkeys are cryptographic primitives replacing password strings, not replacing identity. There is a difference.

The Home Depot mobile app does something similar already. Passkeys/biometrics for a persisting an iOS session, and to re-up a session, you get emailed a six digit code to your email. Why have the password?

If email as identity as insufficient for your use case, ask the user for a government credential using Stripe Identity or ID.me, or doing a token amount charge on a financial account the user has
access to (offloading the identity proofing to their bank) to bring their account back up to a higher assurance level (“IAL”) during an access reset.

I recommend recovery contacts if you’re in the Apple ecosystem. Tangentially, setup legacy contacts as well.

I don’t think the author is trying to insinuate that GitHub is in the wrong in any way. They explicitly say they understand the decision, and anticipated that it would happen.

I don’t want to quibble with the term “abuse”, because I think in this scenario it depends on whether intent is a factor and whether we should trust their stated intent. But depending on how you look at it, GitHub would be just as likely to benefit from hiring the author as they would from banning.
Many people have mentioned that this is incorrect, but I wanted to ask why you thought this, and why you thought it so confidently?

I am, thanks. But also Discourse is so terrible that it should be excluded too.
If it provides value and doesn't need to be adapted then I'd probably leave it as is. If there are tests that I have faith in and the code is really poor I might try to touch it up if there's nothing better to do.
They forgot the part were Jobs ordered that Woz’s IIgs (also being designed at the time) must be kneecapped (and have its clock rate halved), so it wouldn’t overshadow the Mac.
To be fair, this was more reflecting the utterly embarrassing way the Italian king and his government managed the switch on 8 September 1943. There are similar stories of Italians rounded up by Germans all over Italy, Germany, and Africa. Italian troops were unprepared and received confused orders, if they ever received any.
This is not correct. If we want to explain why the sidewalk is wet, and 99% of the time it is because of sprinklers and 1% of the time it is because of rain, then "The sprinklers do not alone explain the wetness", but "The wetness cannot be explained by the sprinklers" is a foolish thing to say.

Laundau himself didn't have much patience for struggling to understand dense language, according to Ioffe's account:

"Landau knew well all subjects (despite the fact that he almost did not read papers, only listened to their presentations) and put questions which had to be immediately and definitely answered -- general words or statements like “the author claims ...” were not accepted."

That said, Landau's Theoretical Physics textbook is graduate-level. Feynman wrote an undergraduate Physics textbook. And some other things Feynman wrote might have been for even wider audiences.

I work in data management for large companies and I can promise you the problem is not a technical one. Which organization has the maturity to actually follow-through with quality data for such systems? Which legislators have the power to enforce such an approach?
>It seems very clear which version you prefer, but why do you call it a "fantasy" of spontaneity?

I should've been clearer: 'fantasy' doesn't mean 'false' here. More like 'embellishment', an additive, framing, to reality that makes it more palatable and exchangeable (symbolically). The point of bringing up arranged marriage demonstrates spontaneity itself is more radical than is framed in the case of mainstream rhetoric around amorous relationships rather than a partisan approval.
You wish it was backwards logic. In reality the insurance company just needs to convince a single person in a company to pick them. And they are very good at doing that.

On the other hand individual consumers have ALL the bargaining power - they can simply pick a different insurance company, and insurance companies have to work very very very hard to get customers. They would compete on price because that's by far the most important thing to a consumer.

A company on the other hand cares about other stuff, how integrated in the system, how easy can we import members, manage members, how much marketing material do they give? Do we have to educate our employees, or will the insurance company do that for us?

Just tons of other stuff that isn't price. Individuals: It's 99% price.
Also, most of the marketing totally fails at explaining what passkeys are to both ordinary users AND developers.

What is a passkey? Most material I've read just defines them as a "credential" that is "used as an authentication method." That's it. It's a credential. What kind? Who knows. Only when you arrive at the Apple developer page you finally learn that they are "cryptographic key pairs". And then you start digging into WebAuthn, get a throbbing headache, close your laptop, and do something else productive instead.
It would be nice if people could add why their suggestion is the best value computer science book, now it's just a bunch of suggestions without any context.

Google Authenticator decided to nuke all my existing MFA tokens during a recent update/refresh of their app.

I can tell you to sort your redundancy now, it’s much easier than later.

I can also tell you to avoid google tooling, they seem completely disinterested in support and more interested in market share.

I've actually done the city center to suburb commute where a shuttle bus was the final leg of the journey.

I walked 10 minutes to the train station, rode the train for 20 minutes, and then the shuttle for about 15 minutes. The shuttle waited for the train to arrive. In the evening, I did the reverse.

Interestingly, there was a core of about 10 other riders who started their journey in a different suburb. They drove to a train station, rode it downtown, switched trains, and then rode out to the suburb. The key for them was that it was time competitive with driving and the transfer didn't add nuch time. The conductor for the outbound train would hold it if the inbound was late.

It worked well for everyone, at least until the suburub stopped funding the bus. I was able to find a less convenient transit alternative, but it was slower and added a 1 mile walk on the end though a not quite pedestrian friendly environment. Everyone else ended up switching to their cars.

The other big thing is that these schools want to admit people they know will matriculate (they don’t want to over enroll or under enroll). Presumably, legacy applicants are statistically more likely to matriculate and hence there is a preference.

When I was applying to schools, I remember reading that the policy UPenn used for legacies was that only those who applied early decision got any sort of statistical advantage over other candidates. If you weren’t ready to commit via early decision, your odds were the same as the general population.
> Insurance companies are incentivised, under law, to have the highest healthcare expenses possible.

Yes, that is true. But it doesn't change the fact that prices will have to change at the healthcare providers. Dr.s will earn less, people will be fired as positions are eliminated. There's no other way to reduce prices.

Where do you think all that "incentivized" money is going? It's going to people in healthcare will either take a pay-cut or will lose their jobs.
I don't know the term but you can also basically varyingly-indirectly pay to get in to most Ivys & other schools. I wonder what those admissions numbers look like.

I don't have a ton of info, but I've been at two different parties with people for whom this was semi-directly their job, to help facilitate extremly wealthy foreign students buying their way into top tier American schools.
Varnish has a file system backed cache that depends on the page cache to keep it fast.

I have this book, it's very... lispy.
Non-profit insurance companies also exist. It still helps nothing.

Are you hoping for non-profit drug and equipment makers as well? How far do you need this "non-profit" thing to go before you acknowledge it doesn't help at all?
Interesting. I'm quite the opposite in that I'll try pretty hard to avoid unnecessary allocations. In the case of your example I'd do something like:

variable = foo(bar(baz(stuff)));
// baz stuff
// then bar the result
// which we finally foo.

I primarily write python which can't optimize out the allocations so that might influence this.
It was a great video
If you think that deploying anything with Kubernetes is simple... well, I have bad news for you.

It's simple, until you hit a problem. And then it becomes a lot worse than if you had never touched it. You are now in the stage of a person who'd never made backups and never had a failure that required them to restore from backups, and you are wondering why would anyone do it. Adverse events are rare, and you may go like this for years, or, perhaps the rest of your life... unfortunately, your experience will not translate into a general advice.

But, again, you just might be in the camp where performance doesn't matter. Nor does uptime matter, nor does your data have very high value... and in that case it's OK to use tools that don't offer any of that, and save you some time. But, you cannot advise others based on that perspective. Or, at least, not w/o mentioning the downsides.

> That's not the right comparison. You compare white people to another ethnicity, not to a program.

Yes it is, because the entire point of showing these statistics about white legacy students is to “shut up” people arguing against affirmative action by going “see, white people get their own form of preferential treatment too!”
I'm very skeptical. IIRC they harvest the small charge that is in some water molecules/droplets in the air, but it does make too much sense. (Perhaps I'm misremembering, perhaps I didn't understand, perhaps it makes no sense.)

> Thinkpads I have seen and used (last one in 2023) I haven't yet seen one that is "fully supported" out of the box on Linux and all of them required some degree of tinkering.

Yes, that is my limited experience with Thinkpad as well.

This don't ship with Linux and are not Linux Hardware. They're Windows hardware.
I didn't read the paper but judging from the abstract it's probably a technique for design space exploration.

I.e., they manually designed the CPU but left a (large) number of parameters open, then used AI to find an optimum for those parameters.

So anything the AI did was completely correctness-preserving.

Note that this may sound like it's a small achievement, but keep in mind that for modern CPUs the search of the design space is hugely important, and probably the reason for the success of e.g. Apple's M1.
They asked. They didn’t demand, and they seem prepared to accept whatever GitHub decides. If I were fielding that request, I’d certainly grant it—on the condition that any deviation from the stated intent would indeed result in a ban—purely on the basis that it’s a ~free QA contribution and postmortem.
The same logic could easily apply to every other manufacturing heavy country (Japan, India, etc). There are just as many unethical companies operating in the country (Dupont/Monsato/3M) hit by massive lawsuits. And trying to influence domestic issues in other countries has led to the numerous wars the US have started in modern times, not to mention the annexation of Hawaii because of blatant business interests.

the world is tired of the US finding applying double standards to whoever they want to make their enemy.
Agreed. I'd like to get four or five nines rather than merely 99.9% availability. But the first priority is making sure that I don't lose anyone's data.
AMD GPUs are also on the rise, given poor Linux user experience with Nvidia.
I noticed that they use JavaScript to modify the hash string in the URL. Here is the probably root cause:

There is an H2 heading between "Lightweight JIT compiler project goals" and "The current state of the MIR project". That h2 contains the Hoover Dams image and has an id generated from empty content because the content is just image: <h2 id="-h2"></h2>. When you scroll near that image, the javascript tries to update the url but that broken ID caused it to set the empty ID ("#"), thus jumping to top.

You can verify this by open the table of contents bar and see an untitled section. Whatever CMS they are using, it didn't handle the empty H2 correctly. Few additional considerations:

1. The article author should never produce an H2 with only an image in it.

2. The image should have an `alt` label to be accessible.

3. CMS should use `alt` label or file name to generate the ID when the H2 has no other textual content.
What does it matter what I realize? I was explaining what anarchists believe, and why "you have rules!!!" is not some sort of clever gotcha. As an adult human, I'm fully capable of understanding beliefs without sharing them.
> why not try locally with git.

Because you can't. GitHub is not open source, you'd need to steal the source code to try it locally. This comment is for educational purposes only, not trying to give OP ideas!!1

But you're right in spirit of course. Would be more interesting to install Forgejo/Gitea, GitLab, GitWeb, gitolite, TortoiseGit, etc., test them on various limits, and write that up in a nice blog post for magic internet points.
> In an attempt to start anew, I relinquished our house and savings to my spouse

This is bizarre to me, but I haven't been through a divorce and can't pretend to know if I might be tempted to do something similar in that situation. Regardless, have you asked your ex for assistance? I think they'd have to be pretty heartless not to help you out after taking everything from you
This is quite different from what you were saying about gravity reducing entropy, though. And I know quite well that having a PhD in Physics does not make someone right, but then quoting Wikipedia in such an argument is really not great.
Coming from Spain we have a similar difference between like and love that you don't in English so it might be difficult to grasp. Basically we have a middle-level between both of them:

1. I like you. Me gustas. Suki-desu -> very early in the relationship, or to start off

2. [blank]. Te quiero. Daisuki-desu -> formal couple, to express feelings of love

2.5 I love you -> formal couple after long time dating I believe, a bit stronger than those two terms above

3. [blank]. Te amo. Aishiteru -> poetic, life-partners, basically we can get married

The "I love you" in English sits somewhere between those two in Spanish/Japanese. If forced to put it in a group, probably the second one would be better and I'd say there's no 3rd one equivalent, since it's really not as strong as the 3rd one, but stronger than the 2nd one.
Nobody here us saying that actual predatory practices are ok. I’m certainly not advocating for law of the jungle. But within reasonable legal and regulatory limits I don’t see how crating cute character and fun entertainment is a harm.

I’m up for effective fair and reasonable regulation, but banning all marketing to children is bonkers. No children’s books, cartoons, TV shows or movies at all? How do you even define marketing to children objectively? It’s absurd.

Unfortunately it is a fact there are people that find it hard to function in a sophisticated technological society. McNamara’s Morons, while an unfortunate term, is a real issue. That’s why I’m in favour of decently funded effective social services. If people genuinely need help they should be able to get it.

I’m basically a capitalist, because I think capitalism embodies essential individual economic freedoms. But all economic systems have failure modes, and I think it’s in everyone’s interests to live in a supportive egalitarian society.

A-10's replacement is drones, says the writing on the wall.

A-10 was developed for a Fulda Gap Cold War escalation, when Soviet Union had many many tanks at its disposal. China doesn't have near as many tanks as Soviets did, and now Russia's stocks are being depleted in Ukraine.

When you have drone/satellite coverage and know where everything is, you don't need loitering CAS as much, you can strike before threats are immediate with standoff munitions like what F-35 deploys, or artillery. Anything else you can clean up with drone Hellfires etc. loitering with less risk.
