>>Why must the burden of getting a job that is not shitty always seem to fall on the worker and never the employee or the state?

What makes you think that my arguments precludes the latter? Equally, do you think that you as an employee have no agency in your own choice of employment? I understand there is a lot(probably even a majority) of people in the world who don't have that - but my comment isn't addressed to those. It's addressed to the specific HN comment.

>>Stop adoring the hierarchy and licking the boot.

...what? I think you've constructed in your own head what my position is and are arguing against that, and not against what I actually said or believe.

> I guess the way I presented thoughts looked like I was saying NSS are bad for you. I don't have the evidence for that claim. But I don't think the balance of evidence is in favour of NSS either.

Thanks for the clarification, my interpretation of your comment was that you were suggesting that NSS have harmful effects given the insulin discussion.

I agree the evidence is neither for or against NSS harms.

> I know you can cherry pick health studies to support any argument you like but I don't feel like I've done that. The WHO guidelines/study that we linked to is supposed to be a broad summary of the whole research area. The guidelines document doesn't recommend NSS for anything. It only recommends _against_ using them for things.

Agree the WHO review is great and well done. The recommendation against use stems from conflicting evidence and a lack of evidence showing it has the beneficial effects thought to exist. Recommendations like this are generally made to avoid delaying positive interventions rather than a negative statement regarding said intervention.

An analogy would be a position statement to not use bananas for the prevention of breast cancer. It doesn’t mean one shouldn’t eat bananas or that they’re bad for you, it’s just irrelevant and potentially harmful for this indication. Bananas may also still be good for you.

> Whereabouts? I couldn't find what you're referring to.

Apologies I was vague. What I mean is you went backwards down the levels of evidence pyramid.

Once a good quality systematic review is cited it becomes unnecessary to cite substantially weaker evidence (retrospective observational study with self reporting) unless it presents new and compelling information that was not included in the study. Given the study type it’s low-quality and is non-contributory to the conclusions stated in the review.

With respects to reasons described by WHO, I’m referring to the discussion and risks of bias sections. They quite extensively elaborate on the reasons observational studies are poor quality for this question and talks about reasons for conflicting findings between RCTs and observational studies.
The Fine Paper
Already it ought to be possible to clock an indium phosphide cpu to 50 GHz or beyond and there was an SBIR awarded to make one back in the 1990s. Memory is a problem though, particular the whole system has to be small since it already takes a nanosecond for light to travel one meter.

Note silicon (probably any semiconductor) is about to hit the wall in terms of feature size. An obvious answer is to stack logic elements in top of each other but it is already difficult to extract heat from 2-d silicon chips. If superconducting gates really use 1000 times less power that stacking might be possible.

Those kind of articles (and papers) would be far more impactful if they were used only when they actually referred to some major real breakthrough.

As opposed for us to read 1000s of them in the span of 10 years, and nothing ever coming out of them - except 200 more articles like that from other teams, on other competing mechanisms.

What about a more real title: "Scientists found a potential mechanism behind cognitive decline in aging, but it's more likely that they have not, the area of study is very complex and ill-understood still, and it will take decades at best to discover and verify any definitive mechanisms. More likely this study also has methodological errors or these guys are even padding their numbers to get a paper published and secure more grants".

Yes, it's a mouthful.

How about "Researchers find a way to induce cognititive decline in lab animals. Don't hold your breath for human relevance".
Thank you I missed that: though it leads me to the opposite conclusion!

Yes, I am aware of all that.

But you were claiming alt-dragging this as a specific feature of your WM, whereas AFAIK all X11 WMs support this. I don't know of any that don't.

Why do you assume that I haven't tried alt resizing? I would have thought that expressing familiarity with the functionality you're discussing made it clear that I know how it works. When I say I don't want it, that's because I've tried it and don't use it.

I'm not dismissing it! If you like it, that's great. I tend to do large scale window management via keyboard shortcuts myself. It's why I dislike environments which don't support the standard keystrokes, such as KDE's kwin, and ones that remove it, such as GNOME.

> If it’s as simple as you say to earn $160K-$180K why isn’t everyone doing it?

It might be 'simple' in the sense of 'straightforward', but not in the sense of 'easy'.

Hard work plus long hours won't appeal to everyone. Self-employment might not be everyone's cup of tea either.
You can be a baker and make the best cakes in the world, but if your shop is located in the wrong place (like a dark alley with no foot traffic) where no one knows it exists, your business can fail if you don't also learn marketing, and possibly move to a better positioned (but more expensive of course) spot. A better spot, and marketing lessons though, are hinged on having the money to make that happen... Many people can't pay for advancement because they aren't profiting off of their work to fund expansion and growth.

The ideal that people don't succeed because of the quality of their work is a fallacy... Many people who do succeed who have a shoddy/marginal history of work is also yet another example of why that ideal is not accurate.

I'm at a loss of words for what I feel towards respecting (even promoting!) the idea that a piece of knowledge ought to become interesting or valuable if there is ethnic relationship to it. It reeks of supremacist talk to me.

If someone came up to me saying that he got into mathematics because Charles Babbage was a white guy, just like him, I'd think that person doesn't belong in current society. This doesn't change if the person belongs to any minority.
In terms of IPC @ GB6, with an expected ~20% gain from Zen 4, Zen 5 still need another 15% improvement before it catches up to A16.

I know several people who have struggled immensely with getting routine medical care, not for lack of financial resources but because of how opaque and impersonal clinical health care can be. I'm not happy about that. But I don't extrapolate from there to the uselessness of medicine. If I get an infection, I'm going to go to a doctor, and not attempt to tough it out the way the Winegards suggest people with mental health ailments do.
You can say a lot about nVidia, but for me all their products mostly just work on Linux(I use cuda a lot). I don't understand why AMD is having such trouble doing the same. Likewise with CPUs. It is ironic I have to be using Intel's math libraries to get good performance out of my AMD CPU.

I disagree about speed talking being apriori bad, but agree it has crowded out everything else on the national circuit.

The same is simpoy not true of critical theory in debate which has been around for a long time and is not the winning argument in anywhere near close to a majorit of rounds.
I think that is their point. Languages often spread by processes unrelated to genetics.
That argument, like all arguments that somehow equate wages with inflation, would hold water if the productivity of the workforce was constant.

We know that it isn't. Productivity of the workforce is ever increasing. The generated wealth simply doesn't make it to the workforce.

I had a pretty bad bout of depression about a decade ago. My girlfriend left me, followed shortly by one of my closest friends dying. I saw a therapist and went on antidepressants. I didn’t find either particularly effective or helpful.

I don’t know if it’s even possible for other people but what I ended up doing out of desperation was just logic-ing my way out of it. I would sense it coming and start directly countering thoughts and waves of emotions with reasons what I was feeling was not true and things I was grateful for. It was literally like arguing with my own thoughts and telling them to shut up. It shortened the bouts by a ton, stopped me from spiraling and eventually they stopped all together.

Maybe that will help someone else super analytical like myself? I genuinely don’t know. In more recent years, did not help my wife with her struggles at all.

None of these solutions free you from having to monitor your backups, including Tarsnap. Tarnsap requires setup on your server. You have to make sure it's running and backing up the correct files. And you really should verify you can restore a backup.

I'm really not sure what Tarsnap adds over these aside from saving you from having to sign up for B2 to S3 and punching in an API key.
An incredible and inspiring story + fascinating, eye-opening topic, thanks for sharing!
>A title is not "the most informative and complete sentence summarizing the article", it also has the goal to stimulate curiosity.

It shouldn't have to do the latter. That's clickbait. People are either organically curious about what actually happened or they are not. If they are not, they shouldn't be "stimulated" with BS. That "media/advetising" attitude is the cause behind many issues with science in society today.
So in policy there aren't 'points', it's just a ballot decision, and I haven't seen speaker points deducted for dropping arguments that didn't factor into the ballot.

The danger in dropping an argument is that dropped arguments are supposed to be accepted as true, since they were unchallenged. So it's essentially conceding that particular argument, which unless it's really dumb and tactically useless, can be pretty dangerous of it's a potential "voter" (which not all arguments are). But there's no need to spend a bunch of time on each one.
Thank you. Updated the article with your corrections.
This is one of the few articles that seems to do a good job of summarizing why the UK is in its position. It never solved its creeping energy costs, it didn't build enough housing, then it gambled (and lost) on austerity and Brexit, which makes digging itself out of the hole more difficult. But what really hurts is this: the UK knows exactly what ails it but all solutions are politically untenable.

Oh... That is disappointing.

I was hoping Strix Halo would be a big, power efficient, Apple M-esque SoC with a wide iGPU.

The 16x Zen 5 cores (with no efficiency cores) and the "sharing" of the desktop architecture suggest its actually a Dragon Ridge 7045HX replacement. So a power hungry CPU for 17" desktop replacement laptops you can basically only use while plugged in... That has a large IGP for some reason? That doesn't make much sense, as you mind as well use the dGPU.

> at the end of the day, it is ultimately a subjective question.

Disagree. It's the realm of philosophy at the end of the day, but that doesn't mean it is subjective. We have very good, very fleshed out reasoned arguments about what would be best for most people.

If it is agreed that there are universal human rights and country specific rights, which is something already agreed upon by society; as is the goal of ensuring rights be equally enforced for each person, that they be respected as they should be - just starting from that is a pretty solid base that would result in real changes and is already consistent with societies desires.
The truth exists, but often we cannot know it, ie incomplete information, biases, etc. Or sometimes you may be predicting the future where it absolutely doesn't exist yet - you plan a new policy to improve something, but you can never find "the truth" in advance, eg whether it will work or not.

But if we challenge our opinions, we can make better decisions. If we challenge and they hold, we are more confident in them. If we challenge and they don't hold, maybe there's a better idea to explore.

In short, what I believe is: you can aim for the truth, and you will be better for it, but you will never reach it.
There is a fundamental difference between public and private and that is one of consent. We have no consent when it comes to government actions.

You still need to set up an LSP server, so not exactly out-of-the-box. Something like clangd or ccls for C/C++.
I do not believe it is the case that you could find thousands, let alone millions, of people who have been cured of acute mental health ailments by means of astrology, crystal healing, or remote viewing. Further: your argument boils down to "there are sham cures, therefore all interventions are apt to be sham cures".
That article's Geekbench single core score for the Mac is substantially worse than what's on the chart while their multi-core score is somewhat better [0]. I don't know what the averages are for the Razer Blade 16, some scores are higher than the M2 Max (especially multi-core), some are lower [1].

That article also compares models with more expensive add-ons, a lot of that higher Razer price is probably from the 4090. The Blade 16 price starts at $2,699 (i9-13950HX, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, GeForce RTX 4060, 16" 240Hz QHD+). For an MBP with an M2 Max, the 14-inch starts at $3,099 and the 16-inch at $3,499. Those Macs have 32GB RAM and Razer charges +$600 for that much but the Blade has RAM slots, you can buy another 16GB for ~$50. Razer also charges a lot for an upgraded SSD (and absurd +$1,600 for 2TB instead of 1TB) but that is also replaceable at a much more affordable price. There's also a second M2 slot available so you can add storage without replacing the original drive.

Edit: the SSD upgrade cost is so high because they make you get other upgrades with it (a 4090 and 32GB RAM).

What a Casual Game of Pickleball Can Teach Us About Management
The housing market is probably permanently ruined for individual family buyers as long as they are competing with businesses/individuals buying multiple residential properties as investments.

Subsidies or government backed contributions won't be the answer. Universities have a societal function and could conceivable operate without profit in mind, but they still chose to be greedy and act like for-profit businesses once government backed loans became a thing. The government tried to fix access to education by directly injecting cash via students instead of fixing it through the universities. Taking the same approach with home buyers would be a mistake because real estate obviously is meant to be for-profit and acts that way, so they will obviously raise prices as well.

So you'll probably need to fuck over a lot of banks, investors, construction and real estate companies to get housing prices accessible to the wider population and change economic interactions in that market. I wouldn't count on that though - the government will probably choose to fix it through backed loans or subsidies again, if they do anything.

The 8 AM section of multivariate calculus at UNC Chapel Hill is Close to half students from East Chapel Hill high school.

I talked to the professor and he says it’s one of his favorite sections to teach because the students are all so enthusiastic and want to be there.

Haven't read the articles or papers yet, but I am really skeptical of the kind of statistical inferences talked about in the article -- "we were able to prove Romance from Latin using our model, so using the same model we got #..."; it seems to me this kind of thing assumes they can project a model of language mutation built from data out of the iron age back to neolithic, which is... a really giant assumption.

I'd say dynamics of human history are really full of all sorts of variance and instances of punctuated equilibrium.

Still... it wouldn't surprise me to find surprises around the Anatolian languages and their age and origins. They do seem to fall outside the 'norm' of the mainstream of Indo-European languages and the age of their split from the origin of whatever variant of early Indo-European that Yamnaya spoke I suspect could be a lot further back then expected. And it wouldn't also surprise me to find back and forth flow for a period of time from Anatolia to/from the Pontic-Caspian Steppe.

I'm not so sure about that. I'm ~3 decades away from high school. Looking at the academic top 10% of our class, all of us have advanced graduate degrees so academic success in high school led to similar success in university.

Today in that group a handful are unemployed (not retired, just unemployed) and the rest of us have solid successful but uneventful careers.

The wildly successful ones (mansions, yachts, all that) were all in the lower 50% of our class academically. They were (and are) good at hustling and sales and started many businesses and are today very rich.
I was going to ask if any significant changes were made to Tarsnap based on Patrick's previous advice. A cursory inspection of the website indicates "No". Pricing is the same, the messaging is still aimed at geeks, the website design is similar.
