In my opinion the problems of sugar aren't that it's a carbohydrate (which are and should be the main energy source), it's in its metabolism: Sugar, especially without any fiber, jacks up the blood glucose levels, which are AFAIK pro inflammatory. Sugar added to a high fiber dish? Fine in my opinion.

Mine was "Tell Me Why" which I still have on my shelf some 35 years after I recieved it for a birthday. I'm afraid to touch it, lest it crumble to dust before my eyes. It is so well worn from me thumbing through it's pages as a wee info junkie that the cover is just about fallen off. I can't bear to let go of it, since it represents something important to me; that information should be distributed. Now, whether or not there was adequate fact-checking in that book (or other encyclopedias I read as a kid) is another discussion...

I never understood the sterilizing theory, it coincides with the claims these times they also had mostly low alcohol types of beverages, such a beer and ale.

The sterilizing only really happens in modern wine level alcohol (14%).
My complaint is that people often times think something is fair because both sides compromised. That thinking is sloppy and incorrect. A deal isn’t fair because it involved compromise. It’s like when people say, “both sides are unhappy with the deal so it means it’s a fair one”. That’s dumb thinking and inaccurate. It might be correct most of the time but not all of the time.

That a compromise was made does not make it fair. The act of compromising in and of itself does not necessarily imply fairness.

I’m not being a pedant. I’m claiming the original reasoning for believing this part of the deal is fair because it involved compromises. I also claim that requiring people to drive all day in hot weather in an air conditionless vehicle is inherently unfair.
In the region of Austria I live in (Oberösterreich/Upper Austria), smoking is so commonplace I'm surprised that people aren't handing cigarettes to children. It is also very common to see people inebriated from morning farmer's markets before 9am!

They were mad over the French and Indian War which the Crown had gleefully dragged the colonists into, under which some tribes allied with the French and others with the Brits, to fight over territory, a story as old as time. Inter tribal and international warfare was, of course, an ancient pasttime among both native Europeans and native Americans.

They were not treated as regular PoWs. They were rich officers. They were treated special.

Edward Rutledge, Arthur Middleton and Thomas Heyward Jr. were all imprisoned at the PoW camp at Fort St. Mark (aka Castillo de San Marcos), St. Augustine. Not a prison ship.

The Wikipedia article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castillo_de_San_Marcos links to https://books.google.com/books?id=eCc8BQAAQBAJ&pg=PA126 which describes their captivity and that of others as:

> They lived in the unfinished statehouse and in private houses in town. Since many were paroled, most of them were given considerable freedom of movement. The prisoners' diet was salt fish, occasionally salt beef, vegetables, and potatoes, and one-quarter pint of rum daily. They were permitted to write home for money to purchase items from local vendors. At the statehouse they slept on mattresses on the floor, and stayed the better part of a year.

That is not brutal neglect and certainly not torture.

George Walton, the 5th captured signer, was captured during the Battle of Savannah in 1778. From https://archive.org/details/biographyofsign03sand/page/124/m... :

> Walton received a wound through the thigh, fell from his horse, and was taken prisoner. He was paroled until he recovered from his wound, and then transferred to Sunbury, as a prisoner of war. The high station of colonel Walton as a member of congress, and his signature to the declaration of independence, induced the British government to demand a brigadier general in exchange for him, but the term for which he was elected having expired, he was ultimately exchanged, as a lieutenant colonel, for a captain of the navy, in September, 1779.

Again, not brutal neglect, and not torture.

I agree that China is seriously challenging the West in tech. I have multiple tech consumer products from China (original design) which absolutely mop the floor with the western counterparts in simplicity, usability and reliability while also being very competitive on price.

I disagree hard that the solution is throwing more money at the problem. I think the problem is cultural and educational. Focus must shift from delivering the next unicorn related to social media, chat bots, advertising, etc to getting real Tech advancements.

I won’t defend Robert Lustvigs position entirely. It’s rather extreme. But I think you need to watch his stuff before trying to criticise it. Glucose is the body’s primary energy source. Yes. But not fructose. (And sucrose, which is what’s commonly referred to as sugar, breaks down to fructose and glucose as you may know).
His argument is that fructose is processed by the liver. Hence the idea that it is a kind of toxin (not a “poison” if I understand the terms correctly).
Everything can kill you with a certain dose. But some substances are not safe - and will damage your body - with any dose. Alcohol is definitely one of those. Fructose? Maybe. I don’t know enough about biology to tell if Lustvig is wrong or not. I’m on the skeptical side still

> You are trying to collerate loss of revenue with the loss caused by piracy, without any data of loss caused by piracy.

The only explanation for the complete collapse of CD sales starting in 1999 is piracy. Napster & Co. Anything else is dishonest.

> Also, showing a graph without the last 10 years is making the data lying: https://www.riaa.com/u-s-sales-database

No, this data is lying because it ignores inflation. Here is an inflation adjusted chart, which shows a massive drop in revenue:

https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/...

Moreover, even if revenue were on the same level today as it was more than 20 years ago, which it isn't, this would ignore the fact that in the meantime the global economy has increased substantially, such that the revenue without piracy would be much higher than back then.

> Also, actual studies shows piracy helped sales, not hindered earnings:

This is about video games and highly speculative. For music there is overwhelming evidence that piracy completely crushed the CD market.

Just a quick note, it's worth pointing out that for most people (eg, wanting to chat to a model in realtime), I don't think running locally on a CPU is a very viable option unless you're very patient. On my 16c Ryzen 5950X/64GB DDR4-3800 system, llama-2-70b-chat (q4_K_M) running llama.cpp (eb542d3) and testing doing a 100 token test (life's too short to try max context), I got 1.25 tokens/second (~1 word/second) output.

Compiled with cuBLAS w/ `-ngl 0` (~400MB of VRAM usage, no layers loaded) makes no perf difference. The max layers I can load on a headless 24GB 4090 is 45/83 layers (running `-ngl 45 --low-vram`) which brings speeds up to 2.5 t/s. A little less painful, but still not super pleasant. For reference, people have reported performance of 12-15 t/s with 2x4090s w/ exllama (GPTQ). People are using a 14,20 split and able to load a full (NTK Rope scaled) 16K context into 48GB of VRAM.
The Crown had no plans to end slavery in 1775. That had nothing to do with the cause of the war. The northern colonies in fact wanted to end slavery at the onset of the revolution. The colonists were upset about having to fight wars for an increasingly distant monarch while they were largely self sufficient, and yet not given power at Parliament. In particular, the French and Indian War fought just a decade prior to the onset of the revolution, was a major precursor: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_and_Indian_War

In this article, you will learn about the basics of Python variables, including how to declare and use them, and why they’re so important for effective programming.

What is Python Variable?
A variable in Python is a storage location in a computer’s memory that is assigned a value. As a programmer, you can use variables to store data that can be manipulated and processed in a program. The value of a variable can be changed during program execution, which makes it a dynamic and flexible data type.

For Armv8.M and MVE, I expect that Clang and Arm Compiler for Embedded, which is Clang/LLVM based, generates much better code than GCC or IAR.

Regarding code size: the common pitfall is -Os for GCC and -Oz for Clang based compilers to optimise for minimum code size.
There is no direct connection between the channel spacing, and the allowed TX bandwidth.

If the bandwidth is wider than the channel spacing (for AM BC), all that happens is that adjacent stations hear a little "monkey chatter". And that is minimised because most stations are arranged on a geographic grid which prevents a local station having another local on an adjacent channel.

In Australia the local Government ABC stations most definitely do transmit 15KHz wide audio.

A quick search turned up this article from September 1980 ETI magazine which discusses stations having 30KHz total bandwidth. https://imgur.com/a/gVpSwoo

Whatever, just tuning around with a high-end SDR shows many stations at 20KHz bandwidth.

The Commercial stations have a problem in that they use aggressive audio processing in order to maximise their coverage, given their licensed power output. So as soon as the commercials decided to concentrate on talk shows, they wound down their bandwidth.

My parents bought me a concise Encyclopedia for teenagers, I forgot the name (it was made overseas). Not Britannica, but still had some 12 volumes.

It was not very different from Wikipedia but the language was a lot more accessible.

Kids these days rarely have patience for this sort of thing, at least my kid doesn't. There is just too much overstimulating information everywhere - how can an Encyclopedia compete with TikTok and Youtube algorithms that leave the child laughing nonstop?

For example, three were held in St. Augustine under parole, with food, a quarter pint of rum daily, and considerable freedom of movement about the town.

This is a far cry from being tortured.

> The number of consumers that pirated music increased mostly because the record companies missed the boat in the third round of being able to sell us the same music. They quite literally sat on their hands for years while there was huge demand for online music. iTunes finally served that demand and Apple made a bundle of money on that.

That's not true. iTunes or Spotify did not nearly compensate for lost CD revenue.

The fascinating thing is that they were sort-of understanding they couldn't really do that anymore towards the end, but too late.

Hombre, their last attempt, was one one hand meant to provide a clean break by moving to a PA-RISC core (chosen to allow for Windows NT compatibility but in retrospect might just have deferred their death) in a dual-chip pair that'd combine the CPU, DMA, an upgraded blitter that was closer to a basic GPU (transforms, texture mapping, gouraud shading, z-buffering), a 64-bit RISC-like copper replacement, 16-bit sound, with a display controller on the other chip.

But to avoid breaking backwards compatibility, they also planned putting an entire AGA Amiga on a chip, and recompile AmigaOS, so they could end up with sort-of reverse of what we got with the PowerPC expansion boards or the older Janus Bridgeboards (putting an x86 CPU straddling both a Zorro and ISA buses, letting you run PC software at full speed in a window on the Amiga), of having the new CPU run the OS, and using the embedded 68k Amiga-on-a-chip to run legacy software.

A valiant attempt, but of course way too late - Commodore ran out of money before completing even the chipset before Hombre in their pipeline.

Hombre would've been a big break, though, with what looks like they had something resembling an actual plan for a very broad range of uses from the start instead of their usual haphazard Darwinist "survival of whatever nearly ready design still happens to please the right executives" Commodore usually practices.

It ranged from putting it on a high end graphics card, to set-top boxes, CD32 like entertainment systems, all the way up to high-end machines running AmigaOS and WindowsNT and based around a machine concept from David Haynie (Acutiator, going back to '91) that planned for exchangable modules for everything including the CPU, with the ability to even adapt the bus control account for different CPU requirements.

It's an agonisingly fascinating "what if" of alternative hardware, while at the same time in retrospect having some serious flaws (PA-RISC...) and probably being way too ambitious for Commodore even at its peak given the amount of discipline shepherding a project that ambitious over the line without some executive ego trip derailing it would've taken...

You can tell how NVIDIA dominants the market by the fact their price/performance "curve" is almost a straight line.

In a competitive market that line has distortions where one player trts to undercut the other.

There are no bargains because there is almost no competitive pressure and so there is barely any distortion in that line.
At some point in the past I dove headfirst into the PKM craze where people are encouraged to link freely to find 'unexpected' and 'interesting' connections.

Income growth has stagnated because of growing centralization. All of this socialism you claim we need is contributing to that centralization.

The EPI, which you cite twice, is heavily funded by public sector unions who are the primary beneficiaries of this socialism, and puts out misleading graphs.

For example, the graph showing a growing gap between wages and productivity in the first article is based on using measures of wages and GDP that use different inflation indexes. [1]

As for tax rates, the top income tax bracket was $400,000 in 1950, which adjusted for inflation, was equal to $4,000,000 today. And average incomes were lower in real terms too, so very few fell in that bracket.

There were also significant tax loopholes in the 1950s, and a much larger cash economy, which enabled tax avoidance and evasion, respectively. Due to the loopholes being closed, the effective tax rates on the top 1% only decreased slightly since the 1950s, despite a massive decrease in nominal taxes. [2]

When Kennedy decreased the nominal rate, tax revenues increased. So no, there's nothing to suggest we should return to those high nominal tax rates, especially as inflation and income growth would make those high brackets cover a much larger proportion of the population today than when those tax rates were last in place.

Also let's look at the 1950s: that era had huge unions, which led to the destruction of the largest US industries. So the wage growth in the 1950s wasn't sustainable.

And counter-acting the massive burden of the unions, the 1950s had:

* fewer social programs (no Medicare)

* much fewer regulations (no EPA or OSHA)

* lower government spending

* no collective bargaining for the Big Three Automaker workers (that death knell came in the 1960s)

There was zero income tax between 1870 and 1900, when wages doubled and the financial position of industry improved. This was very much unlike the post-war period, where US industry was running on borrowed time, making increasingly burdensome concessions to unions.
