1, is incorrect in the last paragraph about Intel Thread Director.

The hardware classifies every thread context into one of 4 classes and provides the OS with dynamic perf/power values for all cores. It's the Windows thread scheduler that makes the final decision just like on mac but can make use of the additional hints from the CPU for doing a better job.

I'm lost on how a CPU would schedule workload when most of the information is stored in OS's process/thread structures that aren't shared with the firmware/p-code and it's supposed to work with multiple platforms.
There's a difference "between 12 people asked about X" and reaching out on Slack to a product team "a customer asked about X and the behaviour is weird, why would enabling setting Y cause X to ...", and that's the issue that I worry goes missing with removing support staff from the main org.

I don't think the actual cause is capitalism. I think that there is a business culture that seeks maximum profit at any cost. Seeking maximum profit is not actually required to run a business, you can do so with a lower profit and not go broke.

Replying so you don't feel left out -- I hadn't because I don't feel there's much left to add.

I agree with you. There is more than one piece to the puzzle. We seem to agree that housing is one of the bigger pieces, though. So let's start there and make some progress for a change. Let's not throw our hands up, like some in this thread, and say we've exhausted this approach and it's time for the stick.

For the rest, we'll have to go case-by-case. For the most recalcitrant, anti-social cases we may need the stick in the end. Hopefully by that point we can say the system isn't pathological. Regardless, I suspect the cases on that end of the spectrum will be less "homeless" and more "criminal."
I recently switched to a fancy split ergo keyboard. One with actual separate halves. Normal 65% layout, no messing around with control keys and layers except for the function keys.

It took a couple of days to get used to. But an interesting side effect after using it for six months - I can now touch type. I didn't try to learn to touch type and I can't do it if I switch back to a normal keyboard (which feels very cramped now). I also am sure I don't do "correct" touch typing, especially with my right hand.

I don't know if this helps my coding. But in a way, using the keyboard feels more like playing an instrument now. I think that is useful, although it's impossible to quantify how useful, of course.

Edit: this is the one I got:

Initially feels like a crazy amount to spend on a keyboard but it's fully repairable and I expect it to last for many years. Just wish it was wireless.

You're going to be hard-pressed to convince somebody that they should go with Snap-on, Matco, Mac, Stahlwille, Hazet, KTC, Ko-ken, or any other company that is making superior tools by paying their workers better wages when doing so means they'll be paying multiple tens of thousands by the time it's all said and done.

The easy (and wrong) answer to why this is happening is that capitalism ruins everything. The actual answer is that most people don't need or want tools and will not pay the premium for good new tools.
CSR is kinda done.

AI is just better at this task to a shocking degree

My company is talking about this as well, and they're right to do so.

Now, massive layoffs during a period of stagflation, depressed wages and overpriced necessities like housing, transportation, and healthcare is really, really bad, so anyone comparing this to other technologies in a hopeful manner is way off the mark.

That being said, you can't really predict the future, and ruminating on potential negatives is always bad.

Not too long ago, BDSM was considered a mental illness. We'not talking the 1960s either.. this was 2010 when the DSM-4 had BDSM and similar removed.

Prior to 1980, homosexuality was also in the DSM-4.

The trend is obvious and troublesome: this is mainly a list of consensual actions that were listed as "mental health problems" and therefore could be treated against the will of the person. And it's easier to dismiss a 'sick' person since they're obviously out of their mind.

So yes, this is something you definitely will have if the asylum system is recreated and/or reformed. Person making different lifestyle choices others don't like? Committed, with no real say or due process.
> Do you not think there is any middle ground between raping protestors and letting people with violent schizophrenia live in a tent on the street?

I think we all do see such a middle ground, but think that it's really difficult to hit from a due process point of view. This is a parallel track, from the criminal justice system, to take away peoples' autonomy and rights to choose what happens to their bodies.

E.g. maybe we should be focusing on putting real treatment in jails (which tends to be pretty barbaric and ineffective at this point) and using the normal criminal justice system.

> This is what HTTP auth headers are for, but the UX for using header authentication on modern browsers is utter garbage.

I had assumed the cause was something like this: Product management people want functionality which is fundamentally incompatible with security-- like complete control of the appearance and behavior of the login form (which can't be squared with impersonation attacks). Security people substantially control the https auth experience, and say NO. Product management people say fine, and just don't use the secure login functionality.

Everyone is happy: PMs get the security dumpster fire they asked for, Security people keep their perfect ice castle and can complain that all breaches are the fault of the PMs doing the wrong stuff. Except the users, of course, who get a needlessly insecure experience because there are many improvements to the http auth process that don't substantially compromise security.
Pretty offensive to suggest that someone should “step aside for the next generation”.

Personally I’d rather work for someone with more experience (all else being equal), but ultimately the best ideas and execution will win.

> I am not saying that this is what will always happen or that owning a house is strictly worse…

In my adult life I have lived in ten rental properties and have purchased two homes (currently living in one of them). In my cases of home ownership, my property values increased enough over the time I lived in those properties that you could theoretically view the monthly outlay of my mortgage and taxes as nearly a zero sum game. However rent was always an expense and the amount of investment income I made on a theoretical “down payment” amount across the terms of those leases would not come close to erasing the rent I paid.

I realize this is anecdotal and specific to my location and frankly luck, but for me it makes having a mortgage make sense financially.

I disagree. SSO is something that big companies care about and early-stage startups and hobbyists don't. It's a super easy gate to generate revenue from the people who can afford to pay (and mindshare from the people who can't).

You seem to be advocating for SSO for personal use too, to which I say: hell no. I don't even use the same email address between different sites. Why should I give every site I log in to a freebie for cross-site tracking?

Make it federal, and have a steep 'exit penalty' for renouncing citizenship if you're over a certain wealth threshold. Make it so that if you try to renounce your citizenship to avoid the taxes, you're left to start from zero again, and if you don't renounce your citizenship, you owe the taxes no matter where in the world you are (and in most of the world, Uncle Sam can absolutely get to you if he wants.)
The prof sounds like a great guy in a great situation. I assume he has a spacious office on a beautiful campus and in full control of the work he is pursuing. I get the same feeling reading he is working at 100 as when I see a loving group of friends and family egging on a married couple celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary to get them to kiss. You just want to pinch their cheeks so hard…

Should working to 100 be aspirational, or even thought desirable, for 99.9999% of the population? Of course not.

Is it admirable to continue to work in a job where others (who you may or may not respect) determine the nature of the work and work environment…for one millisecond longer than you must? I don’t think so, not beyond a personal sacrifice to be made if the work is of unique critical importance to the direct well-being of people and the planet. Even then, think really hard about it.

But even with his track record people still buy into the lies and repeat them. They radicalize themselves into being unpaid PR flacks for Tesla. It's just weird.

The individual Amber II chargers are 360 kW but they can be paired to share power dynamically via a DC bus. In that configuration it can deliver a maximum of 720 kW to any one of the plugs.

I am not sure I understand. The "toys" you describe are all we need to get the job done. Azure SQL Hyperscale, Azure Functions C#/v4, AAD, another region for DR (SQL geo replica + Function App x2) and that's about it... Why do we want to make this hard?

We don't understand enough to know whether (or how) they reduce entirely to physics. But if the materialist position is correct, then matter (including energy particles) and the laws of physics all there is. So thinking and consciousness have to reduce entirely to physics, because there's nothing else for them to reduce to. We may not know how, but we know they do - if the materialist position is correct.

Do you think they're suddenly going to put homosexuality and BDSM back in the DSM-4 and lock people up for it? I mean, you look at the current political climate and you believe that is a thing that could actually happen when the White House is hosting a Pride parade?

There are real people getting assaulted and murdered by the mentally ill right now. Not to mention the mentally ill themselves who are subject to violence on the streets and living in squalor. These are actual problems that are really happening and you're saying we shouldn't do anything to address them because of hypothetical problems you that you think might happen and that we could easily be aware of and prevent?
And if you have strong boundaries and rules, there's a subpopulation that won't be allowed to stay there.

(Most places have something in-between: policies that exclude a fair number of homeless but still leave enough behavioral issues to produce dangerous and unpleasant places).

Of course, resourcing is part of the problem, but it also just can't be one-size fits all.
I was a student of your brother's at the University of Arizona for a semester. It was over a decade ago at this point, but I think it was English 109.

I have always liked simulations so I thought: Why not try to simulate what I see?
Watching the simulation from above of people going to supermarkets, going to work, trains delivering goods and such. Creating your own city and watching patterns emerge would certainly feels great.

A lot like watching little ants going around doing their business. This idea is also explored in one of the books of the Ants trilogy from Bernard Werber (I think?) where a society simulation is used to try out advertising campaigns.
Europe itself has a lot of local subsidies. Airbus, the space industry, France’s agriculture, the list goes on. Europe also tries to attract chipmakers like TSMC or Intel to open plants there with generous incentive. Intel is said to get $10 billions from Germany:

We let users set their own passwords because users are unable to remember secure passwords, which would create a lot of work for people running the service (and the user as well), even vulnerabilities because we'd be habituated to recovering lost passwords.

When the user can set their password they will set an insecure one that they can remember, eliminating most of the password reset work. Then when the user is compromised it's their fault. This compromise works because most users aren't particularly vulnerable-- no one is trying, or no one cares if they are compromised.

Why don't we just rely on the recovery security? well Mozilla's persona thing pretty much did.
It's worth noting that the author (Christopher Brunet) is an intentionally inflammatory right-wing commentator, not an economist. Do not take this blog seriously.

The short story: EJMR is an anonymous forum used by economists that occasionally has job market rumors, but is more often filled with sexism/racism/etc. They anonymized using a hash of IP + thread ID with no salt. Three economists realized you could identify the location of many posts and wrote a paper showing how much of the toxic language came from top university IP addresses. Naturally people on the forum (and sympathizers like this writer) are collectively losing their minds, realizing that they may not be as anonymous as they had assumed. So they are threatening legal action, claiming "doxxing", and writing stupid blog posts.

EPYC SKUs with 3D cache also exist. Though I’m not 100% sure if it uses heterogenous chiplet approach that is seen in consumer RYZEN chips.
IMO the typical use case is for portability to platforms that don't have those features, or implementing a lower-layer: bootloader/OS kernel/etc. Regardless of the runtime cost - you don't have a C/C++ library to rely on (or you're implementing one).

I'd always assumed rust may have taken this from C compiler arguments like -nostdlib / -nostdinc (and corresponding C++ ones -nostdlib++, -nostdinc++).
> One can argue that there's a human right to be insane, but most of us would prefer not to be pushed in front of an oncoming subway train.

This is a bit of a flawed argument-- it's not clear that people with severe mental illness are more violent than the general population, and if they are, it's not by a huge margin.

It's also flawed because we already can forcibly hospitalize people who we can prove are a danger to others. (Yes, I'm aware a whole lot slip through the cracks, but this is a resources and administrative capacity issue, not an issue of the laws we're operating under).
I have to echo your same sentiments. I swore off them a year ago when I provided support with step-by-step screenshots of how to produce my exact error, and even the error itself. The support told me it wasn't an issue and closed it.
I'm in a market where a US grocery brand likes to trial technology at their stores. They had some produce UPC generation stations there for about a year and eventually got rid of them. I asked some people at the store about it, and they essentially gave the same reason. People didn't understand it, didn't want to deal with it, etc. So most customers just ignored them and the checkout counter still had to deal with it anyways.

Raising the price of imported goods via tariffs is designed to make domestic products comparatively price-competitive. Once you've driven all of your manufacturing offshore, tariffs won't work. While there are a few toolmakers left in the US, there are, for example, no cellphone makers, etc.

The "output rating" positive feedback loop is very concerning to me. That is a huge, growing advantage for the incumbants. Government can't necessarily force the publication of customer queries/responses to public datasets.

But there are ways for open source to compete, like Artbot's opt in contribution and rating system for LAION:

https://tinybots.net/artbot/rate

But it only works if community projects and small companies pile into common transparent datasets (rather than trying to create tiny silos and reinvent the wheel like most do).

And I think many "anti AI" communities (like writing and art websites) should reconsider the implications of shutting off access to open source training
