asus has apparently been heavily involved for a long time. some of the recent nucs supposedly had "powered by asus" or something on one of the screens apparently. So this is more just finalizing the terms of the handover.

Not that it doesn't mean Asus won't change the product eventually. Again, NUC in many ways was a very polished and premium product, and usually it was relatively expensive for what you got (which in a NUC7i7 was only a 2C4T!). Skull Canyon was Crystal Well 6775R 4C8T. But you got very premium features like M.2 and Thunderbolt and dual NICs on some of the products, and the atoms were very cheap for throwaway uses. Will Asus keep doing that? I saw the cute rebrand of PN50 4800U/4600U/4400U to PN51 5700U/5500U/5300U (which are still zen2!) and it soured me on their handling of their mini-pcs.

that started me looking at the rando chinese brand alternatives, and none of those seem to be very refined.

> For those interested, "embedded 4x4" is a good search term

nice tip, didn't know this one!

aliexpress has some weird stuff. there's C3750 5x10gbe SFP (or something) soft-switches and 6x 2.5GbE (225v3 or 226) 1165g7 soft-switches (which sadly don't support ECC!) etc. I almost think sometimes they just throw together random shit they have cheaply. Here's some... C3750 and intel X510 or X520? poof it's a switch.

Sadly there is a lack of NAS chassis type stuff. You'd think cutting into Synology/QNAP's gig would be profitable. Can't even buy barebones NAS chassis for your own build in most cases, the one I've used is U-NAS 810A but there's some things I'm not fond of with it too.

Asrock Rack and Supermicro both have a lot of good shit for whitebox nerd shit though. Shoutout to HDPLEX and Akasa too (and these guys make stuff for NUCs too).

One other cool thing you can find on Aliexpress is the Asrock X300TM, which is an embedded-market-only thin-ITX board with no chipset, just running off the Ryzen SOC. And thin-ITX actually is designed to be powered off an external 19v brick if you want, and it actually uses Intel cooler pattern (which opens up compatibility with some smaller/lower-profile stuff.
Maybe historically, now there is large group around Nick Manton, also in my Jagiellonian University, and the central topic are 3D models of nuclei.

Lots of talks: http://solitonsatwork.net/?display=archive

Nuclei article: https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.12...

They see (conserved) topological defects as baryon numbers, while we with Manfried Faber interpret them as electric charges for charge quantization.

They use trivial vacuum (potential with single minimum) getting only short-range interactions (nuclear), while we use S^2 (-> SO(3), SO(1,3)) vacuum due to Higgs-like potential - allowing for long-range interactions like Coulomb (for S^2 vacuum + QM for SO(3) vacuum + GEM for SO(1,3) Lorentz group vacuum).

This is similar to liquid crystals situation (I use similarity with) - for which they get long-range e.g. Coulomb-like interactions, see e.g.: https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2019/sm/c9sm0... , https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevE.76.01... , https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-16200-z

For SO(3) vacuum, like in biaxial nematic liquid crystals, we can construct hedgehog with one of 3 axes: the same topological/electric charge, but different mass - resembling 3 leptons, also requiring magnetic dipole moment due to hairy ball theorem.

> this is rly awful "research". ederer prob got bullied on there and got mad, cause he has a reputation as a bitch.

No. Also name calling, while commenting on something you clearly don't understand is not a good look.

EJMR claimed to be anonymous. It was not, and what they were doing skipped the most absolutely trivial of steps for actual anonymization.

The only difference between this week and last week, is that now people know that their IP addresses were leaked rather than believing that they were anonymous. I would argue, it is beneficial to people to know that anyone could have done exactly what this researcher did, and we would have no way of knowing.

Blaming the person who found out how terrible EJMR's "anonymization" was, is classic shooting the messenger.

It's also a really good example of why we so "don't roll your own crypto". Any person who specializes in cryptography (or hopefully anyone who has done a basic intro to cryptography course) should have been able to point out the issues.

> more importantly, ejmr has been important in uncovering multiple cases of research fraud and is the best source for actual unfiltered info on opinions of econ departments. chilling effect of stripping anonymity is awful.

This sounds like the kind of thing where people need anonymity, it's a good thing that this research has demonstrated that ejmr was not providing such. Again, this research has not "stripped anonymity", there was none to begin with.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17642004/
MitoQ is an orally active antioxidant that has the ability to target mitochondrial dysfunction. The agent is currently under development by Antipodean Pharmaceuticals Inc in phase II clinical trials for Parkinson's disease and liver damage associated with HCV infection. MitoQ has demonstrated encouraging preclinical results in numerous studies in isolated mitochondria, cells and tissues undergoing oxidative stress and apoptotic death. MitoQ aims to not only mimic the role of the endogenous mitochondrial antioxidant coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), but also to augment substantially the antioxidant capacity of CoQ to supraphysiological levels in a mitochondrial membrane potential-dependent manner. MitoQ represents the first foray into the clinic in an attempt to deliver an antioxidant to an intracellular region that is responsible for the formation of increased levels of potentially deleterious reactive oxygen species. Results from the clinical trials with MitoQ will have important repercussions on the relevance of a mitochondrial-targeted approach.

Public pools in Austria are very cheap, because the pools are paid for by tax payers. Schools/students pay almost nothing to use them. Raising prices would be counterproductive, because the result would just be that even fewer students would learn to swim.
Why Can't People Agree?
If someone writes a program and won’t sell a license for under $1,000,000, it is going to be scarce.

An extreme example to make a point.

A less scarce, but still scarce software product is one that sells for $100 or $10 or even $1.

Software can be free (as in free beer) and not scarce. But many software products wouldn’t have existed without customers who pay for it, with the demand level and price setting the scarcity.

Brutal but true. Mexico will replace China as a manufacturing hub at some point in the next decade.
A startup called Space Monkey did something similar and is also gone. This seemed like a winning combination for users and backup providers, but in practice, it’s probably not practical to rely on users for redundant backup and file access.

He went down the COVID conspiracy and Freedom Convoy rabbit hole? Damn, that sucks.

A surprising number of Canucks went down this rabbit hole, effectively losing years of their lives to these two movements and destroying their social networks and familial bonds.

One Canadian I knew cried for hours every day thinking her vaccinated extended family members were going to die. But hey, every date she listed as when I would die due to vaccine has passed and I'm still alive and healthy! So is her family, much of which is estranged from her now :c

Canada built a much tighter COVID vaccination verification and retail enforcement system than the USA. Vertical integration, few gray zones and such made those who opted out feel like the walls were closing in, as your province's health authority knew your vaccine status, restaurant demanded a valid, ID matching government supplied QR Code to allow seating, and the government was willing and able to enforce the law.

Comparatively, COVID restrictions were created state by state in the USA, and it was such a spotty patchwork that many who opted not to vaccinate lived much more normal lives than their counterparts in Canada.

Much like the universal Canadian deployment of tap and pay, present and pay (the credit/debit card never leaves your hand ever at restaurants or stores), PIN entry for all transactions that would require a signature in the USA, Canada is able to move faster and implement more effectively than the USA.

End result is the same.
I agree completely, but note that demand can grow extremely high due to the very low cost of reproducing (and recently also distributing and marketing) software.

Supply can be limited severely by an early mover advantage, as the cost of software development can become extremely high due to the even more extreme demand. In a way this results in artificial scarcity.

Add in open source (free) software as building blocks, and venture capital, and things become even more complicated. I am sure that we need better economic models to avoid some companies to grow excessively big.
I invested in a Herman Miller Aeron to try help with my posture and back, and it was uncomfortable for months. Eventually I adjusted, which was helped by finding a proper height desk and losing a bit of weight.

If it generated a stable income for you and the company then it has a measurable impact on the world.

The world consists of people, people with higher income contribute to higher prosperity and in turn more resources for what looks like world impact works.

Their presentation is on complex systems, but the author’s thought process still develops linearly and rationally.

From what I can see they identified the problem and a solution, underdeveloped the solution, and presented the result anyway.
I keep getting offered production engineer jobs and the pay does NOT scale with the job requirements. $125k in San Jose for semi manufacturing is the top of that job that I’ve seen, and those jobs aren’t getting filled.
if you put milk in a pot, heated and added lemon until it separated sounds like you made ricotta, not cream cheese.

Cream cheese is more like yogurt actually (I'm sure I've had some brands that where really just yoghurt with very low water percentage). Maybe the culture they use is different, but I've left homemade greek yogurt straining in the fridge and forgot about it for an extra day and it came out exactly like cream cheese.
> luxury brand

which goes to show that luxury branding is worthless, if it's all just marketing. I want quality components, quality builds and long lasting performance. I do find that stuff built in china can have all of these qualities, but chances are they don't (and it's deliberate, to reduce costs). Then selling the product at a luxury price to maximize profit.

No, No and No. It's algorithmically impossible that zstd is decompressing faster than lz4 by using the same environment.

You are comparing the zstd with asynchrounous I/O + multithreading against a single thread simple lz4 cli.

Additionally you're using some exotic and not representative hardware.

In theory, the only single thread decompression case where zstd can beats lz4 is when you have slow (reading) i/o.

lz4 & zstd are mostly used as libraries and real benchmarks are not considering I/O or multithreading.

This is what I'm getting with TurboBench & enwik9.

There is a strong belief in some circles that outpatient mental health care can cure most people. It cannot, and that is one of the fundamental flaws with the community based treatment model. First, many conditions can only be managed with current therapies. Second, there are many people who are so far gone that they can no longer even effectively treat themselves. Leaving them in the community to slowly die, strangled by their own minds, is not humane. Especially when we know that intensive inpatient mental health treatment can drastically increase quality of life for many of these people.

Do we need more safeguards? Yes. But inpatient mental health treatment needs to be viewed as a first line treatment in some cases, rather than a treatment of absolute last resort.
Free yourself from tentacles of pain with radical acceptance
> unlike monoliths, they are far less tolerant of hacking together big balls of mud and demand instead some degree of discipline to design a system and comply with the system design.

A demand that is often poorly met, leaving one with a distributed ball of mud that is more difficult to reason about and refactor.
Also, this doesn’t negate the money multiplier. Assuming non-zero reserve requirements, the money multiplier is still an upper bound on the amount of money that can be created.
A few observations:

1. The author seems to have some anxiety and finding the source of that may help. Being needed, feeling important, being able to remain passionate about something, interests in growth and growing vs declining and giving in to the decline, feeling like their mental or physical skill is not up to par anymore, etc. Finding the source may help them remedy or replace the growing gap between existing and desired state.

2. Work and its inherent rewards can be addictive and a high impossible to replicate elsewhere. Not being allowed to do it anymore. In many professions that’s a reality ans scary. If you’ve been a surgeon or a pilot or a performer your whole life, losing the high of the work is very hard to impossible to replicate. In those professions a decline in performance is a massive liability and the end of a career can be quite sudden. If they have not found alternative sources of dopamine, retirement can feel like death.

3. Many of us have a compulsion to do things. For some that’s to be useful, for others to create, still others to compete and be the best or richest in something. The downside of useful careers is that usefulness is more easily replaced and forgotten. Creation leaves you with a reputation and by product you can pass on as your legacy, competitiveness marks history or wallet sizes, but usefulness leaves you used, unless you capitalize on it.

We had a family friend who was incredibly kind and excellent in their risky and very useful profession. They dedicated their life to that profession and did not have kids as to not lose advancement, and the moment they developed a form of mental decline, they were quickly retired replaced, and likely forgotten. Useful professions are replaceable just as useful tool products are. Capitalize and expand your portfolio of dopamine sources, before you are left used.
The Proxomitron: An Introduction (2004)
Oh, trust me, the economics don't work out. And that's just for raw materials - if you factor your labor and energy (especially if you age it in a refrigerator) then it's even more bonkers.

But its a fun hobby - if you can stand the long feedback cycles.

Personally I'm pretty much only making a sort-of curd-cheese now [1] with left over (sour) milk. Its fast to make, only ages for a couple weeks, and then I use it in a quiche. Which works really well and us more of a way to use excess milk than actually "make cheese".

[1] I use citric acid and heat to separate the curd, then put that in moulds to drain for 2 weeks are do - minimal pressing. Forms a firm, crumbly curd with a mild sour flavor.

I made a large wheel once, and matured it for a year, and it was edible, but nothing special. That's too long for me to get the feedback I need to improve.

Total nonsense. I'm not going to reply to your appeals to group people into "races" and then do phrenology on them to assign them intelligence numbers on this thread either. Have a good evening.
in effect the requirement to file these activity reports leads to banks simply requesting a lot of data from clients (contracts, trading data, invoices), and if you can't convince them, they'll eventually close your account. so you go to a different bank. their compliance department eventually also starts asking questions, and so on.

the freezing of accounts related to the "Freedom Convoy" is quite different, as it was an exercise of emergency powers. the Trudeau admin could have ordered gas stations to not sell fuel to them, or Visa/MasterCard to not process certain cards, or anything similarly extraordinary.
Yes and then if you are in a crisis they will book you for a specialist psychiatric visit... in 2 weeks time if you're lucky, or maybe 2 years from now
Yes, there will be some abuse. But the question should be will we still reduce suffering overall? Fighting your own mind is insufferable. It is not humane to let people wander the streets locked in an eternal battle with themselves. I vote yes, bring back involuntary inpatient therapies, but with strict safeguards.
My dad has been saying for years, even before the internet took off, never write anything you don’t want the whole world to see. When the internet came along he reiterated the same message saying don’t write anything online you don’t want your friends, your boss, the police, a judge or anyone else to see. Anyone who goes online with the belief that they are anonymous and writes things that can seriously hurt their career or something that might put them in jail is foolish.
It would be interesting to know how many people committing suicides were on SSRIs or antipsychotics, etc. at the time. These drugs are known to induce suicidal ideations (and ideations of violence, aggression, and homicide) and have carried black-box warnings. Sometimes, the cure is worse than the disease. Oh sorry, not a cure.
Mind sharing some examples?
I also found if easier - and the feedback cycle was immediate so I did it multiple times and improved.

But of course it has no flavor, or more accurately all the flavor comes from the milk, so your milk supply matters a lot.
And then you can't use Uber, or Doordash, or Instacart. It works for single transaction merchants, but for platforms that having become critical to functioning in today's modern society, it's unfortunately not the magic password.

I understand that cottage cheese, cream cheese, and ricotta are all quite similar, and much of it has to do with how you handle removing the whey, or what you do with the curds afterwards.

I don't play nearly as many instruments, but I find every instrument has something to teach. Examples:

* A melodica is quite fun for a keyboard player because you learn about breath control and its relationship to phrasing.

* The bass side buttons of many accordions are arranged based on the circle of fifths, so you'll be learning that well if you haven't yet.

* Fingering isn't nearly as obvious or standardized on a chromatic button accordion as on a piano keyboard because so many choices are available. There are multiple useful ways of playing something as simple as a scale, and I have fun exploring them.
