I was about to google "Steven Giavant" to see what flavor of serial killer he was.

Totally expected that comment to take a much darker turn.
Is there something specific you are referring to?

If the no-no thing is adult content then it's quite easy to find that on Google.
Typically you are reading from a file, or the network.

someFile.read(dest)
network.read(dest)

I'm reading from a file or network in both cases. You can say you're using "the reader" to read, but as I said it a) introduces an unnecessary concept, b) is not how we naturally talk, and c) does not fit with the variable names (unless you want append "Reader" to all of them, which I think is ugly and bloated.)

It's not the worst thing in the world, and I understand the benefits of the choice, but still it slightly grates on me.
Might be a tangent but trying to do end of tax year stuff when each service hides stuff like invoices behind screens of these kinds of buttons. Godaddy is horrendous: I think I had to click domain.name, manage, taken to a screen upselling me hosting them find some settings, click account, click my domain name again then something else then you get a list of invoices. On the plus side they exist! (as opposed to Amazon third party sellers) and a simple PDF download from there.
It not an exit. But by default someone has to knowingly run the Snowflake applet but webmasters could modify the code to automatically essentially start a Tor guard in someones browser. Though, that would be very evil to abuse someones resources like that.

That example has the users consent before starting.
The information that K's are not new is in https://www.slowboring.com/p/how-critical-theory-is-radicali... which points to them getting started in the 1990s.

My impression is that the author thinks that K's are bad in principle. And that the level of popularity is a problem. Certainly that's how I think about it. What you call "quite a lot of fun to run with," I call, "intellectually dishonest groupthink." Ideas should be debated on the merits of the ideas, and information on the merits of the facts. Winning on the popularity of the ideology you espouse is an easy way to ignore holes in your ideology.

Lawyers have a saying. "If the law is on your side, pound on the law. If the facts are on the side, pound on the facts. If neither is on your side, pound on the table." K's are pounding on the table. And pounding on the table is sufficient reason to declare that you have lost the debate.
> there’s no agency behind its declining birth rate

There's the agency of every fertile Japanese couple deciding whether to have children and how many. That's a lot more natural than an extremist government imposed policy like China's One Child Policy.
> general anti-social behavior

This term always amazes me, along with ‘loitering, was it designed to criminalise undesirables?

I’ve seen police called for ‘antisocial behaviour’ on kids swimming in a river and on teenagers hanging out and chatting at night.
> I am so tired of people who interpret Apple's actions purely as anti-consumer fuckery. Even to this day, people still claim that "apple made people's phones slow down as they got older, so they would have to buy new ones" despite it being widely covered that Apple, like other phone manufacturers, slows down the CPU when they detect the battery's internal resistance rising to prevent brownouts so that the phone is usable for a longer period of time and all you have to do to restore original performance is replace the battery, apple or no.

What they did was chase thinness and so they didn't include an adequate power source for the processor they were using.
If Tor is illegal in your country, it seems pretty risky to try to use it. Since anyone can run a snowflake proxy, it would be a trivial exercise to just log connecting IP addresses. Then it's a gamble with vanishing odds of staying safe each time you connect.
Art exists at the caliber that it does because people are able to feed their families by developing the craft to that caliber.

When art patronage disappears or where it doesn’t exist, the craft doesn’t develop.

Sure, anyone can make art. That’s not what’s being discussed here. This is a guy trying to feed his family and a bunch of assholes working to destroy his living under the guise of “art exists outside of capitalism.”

Sure art does — but grocery bills don’t.

What a waste.
They're not talking about scamming them based on false research; we're talking about making a play to be recognized as an author/inventor when you didn't deserve it.

It's not going to work here, but similar efforts have confused attribution in the past.
Schools absolutely protect sexual abusers. At my kid’s school, it was an open secret in the 1970s through 1990s that teachers were sexually abusing students: https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/2019/01/29/key-sch.... This is an affluent, extremely progressive, private school in a deep blue state. It’s just about the opposite of the Catholic Church.

I find it kind of amusing that people still blindly follow their ideology without being pragmatic about things

If hardware doesn't (or barely) works with a free/libre implementation, why do they (gnuboot) refuse to use the proprietary binary blob and in the meantime start development on a better free version?

The lack of pragmatism astounds me

That redditor says it's just serial number matching, complains at length about how this issue is destroying their business while in the same breath saying that reprogramming the screen's serial number on a working unit will bring up the same problem.

So, if it's just a matching serial numbers problem, why aren't they programming the new screens with the serial number of the old screen, and thus the problem goes away?

Yeah wtf, there isn't even the word prefix "Chin" in the article.
Yes, many would. I've even seen people drive down to the end of their driveway to get the mail from the mailbox or put out the trash.

But also the car culture makes it so that a car is a big part of your identity and also a sort of adjunct living space; a personal safe shelter and place where you can keep your stuff. It's pretty common for people during their breaks at work to go sit in their car and eat.

People used to having cars get very anxious without it, even for a few minutes. They'll drive around in circles in a parking lot for half an hour waiting for a closer parking space to open up so they can save 2 minutes of walking, but also so that their car won't be scarily far away.

If you're not a car person, other people think you're that weird oddball who actually walks to the store and maybe there's something wrong with you.
I don't think this is very relevant. I would prefer to live in a 3x bigger house, but it would still be walkable.

A reverse (also not very relevant) thought experiment - would you prefer to live in one room that is office/bedroom/bathroom/kitchen, just because you don't have to walk at all, everything is so close, why sprawl? :)

There are countless examples of people who clearly deserved to win or share a Nobel but were overlooked by the committee. But can anyone think of a hard-science laureate who arguably should not have won?

Note the "hard science" qualification -- obviously the Peace and Literature prizes have a controversial history, but disregard those for the moment.
My friend, you don't even need it to be in vector space for functional analysis. Truly what is needed is just an inner product. I will grant you the inner product must be linear and hence in a vector space.
Okay, everyone, line up behind KDE and push!
The paper does say at one point:

So I think they are making at least a token attempt to hide something.

> Let me ask you a different question, since you brought up air travel; what sort of ticket/buyer do you think accounts for the bulk of domestic airlines' revenues?

You implied commuters are the major source of revenue for flights. I have asked you for a source four times now for this claim. You have consistently refused to do so.

Provide the source or stop wasting all our time with these theatrics.
I moved on to Orange Pi. Both price and performance blow RPi away. Only downside is way smaller community. But then, that's where the fun is. You get to build a lot of new stuff that is needed in the Orange Pi ecosystem.

Reckon so, but I gather the purpose isn't to kill bugs in what's flushed only those in the
the airborne aerosols.

I use the spray type for bathroom tiles etc. but seeing every supermarket sells a squirt nozzle variety for toilet use it's worth asking whether it's actually effective at killing the aerosol bugs. If it is then I might consider using it.
Okay, so say you have a kid and you're putting them into bible study and you have a choice between two sessions, one with 20 kids and an instructor that has a 5% chance of being abusive, and another with 10 kids and an instructor with 9.5% chance of being abusive. You would suggest the latter is better because the odds are better for your kid?

The expectation is higher in the first case, but then chances that it's your particular kid would be 1/group size. So I guess it would be more accurate to have 5 kids in the first group to make it 1% vs .95%. That's still not any better is it?
That reminds me of the episode of Married with Children where Al calls for the family to get in “fox viewing positions” and everyone takes an antenna somewhere in the room. This was literally me as we lived somewhat rural and i could pick up signals from other towns if i put tin foil on the rabbit ears and touched the lamp when watching. I felt like I was cheating the system somehow.
It was. Thank you.

Last July a friend saw a large number at Micro Center. They told him he could buy 5.

He sent me a picture of the credit card reader showing a total cost of $43,059.11.

$54 for the first Pi, and around $10,000 for each extra one.
What did he take away exactly? Nothing seemed to changed on that front
Isn't this like saying you can swallow hydrofluoric acid... once?
I really don't understand why this tweet implied that Lee and Kim are autistic, or that they needed to be "babysit" by a different professor. Seems weirdly hostile for no discernable reason.

Regardless, I don't think I'm going to be super hyped about the LK-99 story until we see some replication, which should hopefully happen within a couple days.
> I also suspect that these strong characters are why the movement hasn't been completedo taken over by corporate interests

They already serve 99% of corporate interests. A "takeover" would sacrifice the veil of what the propagandized "open source community" interprets as corporate egalitarianism.
Thanks. I'm trying to understand this. So take a function that returns a random shuffled deck of cards with 52! possible real number vector outputs. What is the generalized insight from treating this function itself as a vector space... is there a shortcut to monte carlo-ing a million random shuffles if you can "divide" that function by one which produces a straight flush?

>>> they don't really exist. They're anomalies in measurement methodology, likely to be temporally localized as well. Because everyone knows some "gifted" child, but no one can point to the unique and amazing accomplishments of them as adults

That's a shocking claim to make. Feynman, Von Neumann, Turing, Einstein, Gauss...I think I could go on all day naming people whose contribution to society was outrageously disproportionate and who were all stereotypical "gifted children".

Of course they exist. You wouldn't be having this conversation on a computer on the Internet if they didn't.

> But why are the organizers choosing judges who refuse to judge?

Debate tournaments happen after school or on weekends.

So you need about one adult volunteer for every two to four students. The adult needs to be willing to show up to a school for an entire evening or an entire weekend and listen to 5+ hours of high schoolers debating one another.

You can sometimes make do with fewer volunteers by using coaches as judges. But coaches also need to run the tournament, help organize volunteers, not burn out, and... well... coach.

By and large, outside of the most elite tournaments, organizers don't have the luxury of choosing judges. It's far more common to have 7 judges for 10 rounds than to have 10 judges for 7 rounds.
Run the Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) Network Simulation Tool on AWS
Discouraging chop shops for phones seems silly, but 3rd party repair shops have major incentive to find cheaper components. Compare the history of car stereos vs catalytic converter thefts.

I support the right to repair, but there are real issues that should be addressed. Steps like stamping catalytic converters with the cars VIN really can help.
Edgy. Asserting that my deep consideration and professional concern with usability means that I don't understand the software is the most deliberately obtuse thing I've read this week, and I browsed Slashdot comments.

Measuring usability by your own comfort level is the reason user-facing "open source alternatives" that aren't foundation-backed with dedicated designers will remain "alternative" in perpetuity. It's also the reason that centralized managed environments like AWS et al will keep replacing in-house self-hosted systems throughout the world, despite the cost, as the need for that functionality exceeds the number of people willing to learn to use the archaic unix admin tool kit circa 1985.
It’s context that is in other articles about this same story. From NBC News:

Agents also found thousands of package boxes - many with shipping labels from China.

An investigation found the tenant was Prestige BioTech, a company registered in Nevada and unlicensed for business in California. City officials spoke with Xiuquin Yao, who was identified as the company president, through emails included in the court documents.

Haha I have that bias too but CRISPR had insane drama.
Are you suggesting the corporate interests want that?

I think in fact the corporate interests already get 99% of everything they want and they simply don't care for a cohesive desktop OS.
I think the 5 year old’s bimodal criminality distribution is likely more accurate than your posited normal one - unless the spectrum you refer to includes parking tickets, and bylaw infractions.
“Autist” is a slang term of endearment for people who are weirdly obsessed about various things. It’s similar to “based”. It doesn’t mean anything other than they were not worldly businessmen and investors felt they needed an adult to watch them.
According to the article, the K's in question are least used in parliamentary debating. And so parliamentary debating is most likely to have actual substance in the debate.
Most of the plasticware labs use comes from China, it's just cheap. There doesn't have to be a conspiracy here.

I'm not sure what you mean. One time use would be rental. I own the car and use it all the time.

> Writers are contracted to write for a show. They are not employees of any given studio.

Some writers and actors are permanent employees of a show, which is likely owned by one of the studios. Other writers and actors are temps. But the thing is, Hollywood is a pretty small town, and there are only so many studios, which is why it's possible for a union to represent all the writers, all the actors, all the directors.

> Do you pay a perpetual license for every library that you use?

Well, Apple currently takes 15% of my income...

> Neither they or you “deserve” more than the market will bear and what you are able to negotiate.

I never said otherwise. But obviously the non-streaming film and TV market bore residuals. We'll see who has the leverage and what happens with streaming. The biggest issue is that the studios are pleading poverty over streaming, which seems unbelievable. Anyway, I'm just baffled that other people in these comments are somehow baffled at the idea that residuals exist. There's nothing inherently wrong with them.
But realistically this would mean I couldn't use an iPad with it's pen without connecting it to the internet first. I mean how would Apple bake every calibration for every display into all devices, even ones it hasn't even produced yet?

Which would increase fatalities - hitting a tree prevents them from killing anyone else. The core argument is wrong.
> It is actually truly revolutionary to disagree with it, e.g., take the stance that capitalism is an effective way of organizing labour.

how on earth is it "revolutionary" to express "the current economic system that dominates 95% of all countries on earth with little to no challenge is actually just fine"

that is the opposite of "revolutionary"
Uh, sure. Every single piece of art that anyone knows by name was created professionally. It was created in order to feed the person who developed a craft to a sufficient level to be noteworthy.

Sure, anyone can (and should!) express themselves creatively and yes, that is art. But that’s clearly not what’s going on here, regardless of how dumb anyone wants to play.

Yeah, Van Gogh was a real celebrity.

edited to add what I was actually responding to
CDC detects coronavirus, HIV, hepatitis and herpes at unlicensed California lab
What texts by Jorge Luis Borges are you thinking of? Wikipedia quotes him calling himself a conservative, and none of the short stories I’ve read strike me as revolutionary. Perhaps something from his youth?
Totally fair. I am riffing off the idea that stronger is better. Weaker is worse. Fairly common framing, I thought

But in the spirit, how is a single method "stronger?" Usable in more places, maybe? Often hides too much, such that it really can't be used everywhere.

Describes more things? Well, yeah? But not in meaningful way. At this level of "abstraction," a car is indistinguishable from a bike. Certainly fair for some contexts. Not many relevant ones, though.

And it is that last, that I think sticks. What is the most you can stick to an abstract set of capabilities? That will give you the most utility.

It does mean the cost of implementation raises. But that is realistic?
> Debate made me realize how ambiguous most issues are. While one team does win, the decision basis is often nuanced

This reminds me of an observation that I made far too late in life, though I'm not sure how I could have discovered when it would have been most useful, in high school or thereabouts. That is that although I enjoy getting into debates where I am confident I am prepared to push for my own side in the best of faith, I find that in practice what I what I always end up driving toward is to push for a draw, even when I feel my own position is the stronger.

Even when I feel like if I have "won", it's muffled under a vaguely anticlimactic suspicion that due to limited time or poorly managed tangential sidetracks that the matter is still unsettled, that I didnt do my best to exhaust all of the reasonable avenues of discourse.
That would be amazing. If that worked regardless of network, though, I can see people setting up a node and accidentally taking it to work or some other public network by mistake. I’m not sure if that’s better or worse than using it in a persistent connection.
Butter goes pretty quick. I prefer it to oil for cooking, and you’ll toss it in by the stick when baking.

If you make no distinction between free software and open source, sure. But the free software community, centered around fsf, is known to be hard to work with.
Probably for touch the effects are negligible as the accuracy needed for touch is much more coarse compared to accuracy needed for Apple Pencil drawing. So if calibration is perfecting things at Apple Pencil-level accuracy, it should already be below the threshold of touch-based highest acceptable margin of error anyway.
Because it has absolutely awful throughput. Electron-beam lithography has an output measured in days per wafer. Meanwhile, EUV can easily output 150+ wafers per hour.

When the choice was made to go for EUV, E-Beam was actually the most mature technology available for next-gen lithography - but it just wasn't economically viable. The technology has remained in development over the years, but not a lot has changed yet.
