To be honest, you probably don't need to have a CS degree just to remember how you downloaded pirate Java games in early 2000s.

> "Everybody is identical in their secret unspoken belief that way deep down they are different from everyone else." - DFW
it’s just a hypothesis, but they are saying that maybe the LK-99 samples people are making look like their figure 4 with tiny superconducting islands of lead

That doesn’t mean we won’t be able to make wires and devices in the future. If it’s confirmed that we’re seeing real superconductivity (especially above room temperature) it’s going to drive a ton of research on finding actually good synthesis recipes to make continuous macroscopic chunks of the stuff, even if the current recipe isn’t particularly optimal
maybe they were waiting for some patents to expire?
Nice! For show, I would try to levitate. Probably using a stronger magnet, inside a small (tiny?) glass tube, so it slides up a bit. I wouldn't do "rock surgery" just yet, to remove dead weight. Levitation with 4 magnets in a checkboard fashion, as usually done for pyrolytic carbon sheets, maybe doesn't work as the sample is not flat.

Also, turning the magnet upside down seems useful. And then, heating up to show that it drops at a certain temperature. I wonder what would be needed in this case; I guess less than 100° C.

In any case, the "show" part is important. Good video quality is important.

> Google could accomplish all of their supposedly nefarirous goals by just ignoring the linux users.

No, because in order to ignore linux users you'd need to know that the device in question is actually running linux. But then again, I can run a windows VM inside (sure, this might require effort to patch the windows inside), with no need to write a kernel module because this time I can introduce custom logic in the VM which the virtualized chrome-on-windows process will not be able to interfere with and with enough effort, they have no way to tell whether this setup is "legit".

Of course this will be legit in 99.99% cases, except that the 0.01% case is precisely what causes the damage (bots, fraud, piracy and so on).

If running under Ubuntu, even some of the native software can't handle keyboard events properly. For example, open 'Text Editor', try to open a file, and in the dialogue search for 'hello world'. Notice that if the system is under load, you will in fact search for 'hdlrow olle'.

Wait, you can easily and officially run these game without internet and without Steam client installed?

> RAM usage on macs, particularly ARM, is completely different to Windows.

Using a Mac (or Linux) is deeply enlightening on how terrible the Windows user experience is. From random slowdowns to odd degradation patterns under load, it’s a very frustrating environment.

The only reason I can imagine people putting up with it is being unwilling to change - it takes work to move from Windows to Linux, but Macs are so well rounded, and now with their ARM CPUs, they can offer a much tighter integration between hardware and software.

And, for developers, it’s Unix from top to bottom (well… no X, but that’s another story). WSL is impressive, but it’s still a Linux bolted on a VMS-like OS.

One thing: considering how long Macs remain usable and the fact they are impossible to expand, it’s wise to get more memory than you need right now. Thinking on developing for cluster environments, I’d try to get a Mac with 32 or 64GB of RAM.

> Meanwhile, Apple has been making a lot of noise about making the Mac a more viable gaming platform, given the exceptionally strong graphics performance (for integrated graphics on a laptop, at least) of the M1 and M2 series chips in the latest Macs.

Mac was actually doing pretty decently for game a few years back. A pretty big chunk of the games on Steam, including many of the high profile games, were available on OSX. Dropping 32-bit support set things back immensely, however. With that one decision, Apple made the number of games available to OSX users a small fraction of the amount that was available before.
The problem is that the cost of batteries pretty quickly undermine the cost savings of not fully electrifying the rail. If it is just a few miles, it makes no sense to have a fleet of battery trains for those short trips.
I think it's the same model as free antivirus. Free customers provide a lot of data to analyze and detect threats, which translates into increased value of the product to the paying customers.

Also gives you a lot of traffic which you can use to test new deployments without disrupting paying customers.

> but Valve takes a significant tax from small companies

If you want, you can stick a static page onlinr and hook up stripe, and sell steam keys yourself. Valve offers a service; a marketplace, discovery, and a merchant system. Youre more than welcome to handle that yourself and see whether that "significant tax" is worth it.
The last point doesn't make much sense since there were multiple prior similar demonstrations. It's still a prediction made after the experiment has concluded and the results are widely disseminated.

> IMO, Pandora's box has been opened. Now humans are hyper-aware about the possibilities to optimise their life

Funnily enough, if you read Tocqueville's "Democracy in America", his impression of Americans back then (around 1830) was that they're very serious and solemn, because they're aware of how much of their fate is in their hands, and want to work as hard at it as they can. Actually, his point was that people in the US overestimated their agency, as given how many people were working really hard, there were realitvely few who made it into riches that everyone was after.

And I'm not.
The point is that an ISO image is just a file, and if that file is on a USB stick, it can be accidentally overwritten or deleted, same as any other file.

And if someone really wanted to (in a black hat scenario), it would absolutely be possible to rewrite an ISO image on the fly to modify individual files.

Hydrogen is needed for routes with no electrification infrastructure. Think long journeys across the empty parts of the US. There really isn't any alternative to that.
I'm curious as to how you were able to get that idea from what I wrote.

I'm making no assumptions _about_ intent.

I'm saying whether it's a "red flag" depends _on_ intent (which is then assumed to be known, at least internally by said person(s)).

I'm making no correlation between having causal sex and the attempt to establish a long-term relationship, I don't know how I could more explicitly define those as two different goals.

Maybe if I write it in a more simplistic (albeit, less precise) way:

* Many relationships may likely a red flag in a person who's seeking long-term relationships (ie, they're trying and failing very much, they're probably not a very good partner, or has very good judgement).

* Many relationships are not a red flag in a person who's not seeking long-term relationships (they're doing their thing, and all is good, as long as you're aligned with that).
That was the point I was trying to make, Zig isn't inherently faster than the other three. It just uses different default compilation options than clang, so any gains can be achieved in clang-compiled C or C++ too by tweaking compile options (and maybe using a handful non-standard language extensions offered by clang). Other then that it's just LLVMs "zero cost abstraction via optimization passes" and this works equally well across all 4 languages.

Or: the "optimization wall" in those languages is the same, only the effort to reach that wall might be slightly different (and this is actually where Zig and its stdlib might be better, it's more straightforward to reach the optimization wall because the Zig design philosophy prefers explicitness over magic)
So I think this is referring to the Steam Deck. Which (as you say) can support other Linux distros, it's not locked down to SteamOS. Or even other OS's if you wanted to.

I've only run SteamOS on my Deck, but afaik if you install it on something else then you can still flip it between the gaming mode and the desktop mode. In desktop mode it behaves exactly like you'd expect an Arch Linux install to behave, and you can mess around with it as much as you'd like. In gaming mode it's like a console and really only plays games (but isn't limited to Steam games - people have got it running emulators and all sorts of other stuff too).
Steam Machine failed because nobody made them and what we did get was overpriced for the performance delivered. There was no reason to buy or make a Steam Machine over a standard PC, thus no audience for publishers or devs to care about. The Deck delivers something people want and people are buying it and using it.

That said, I think most of us, except for the die hard purists, are fine with Proton compatibility being the main target for companies. As long as a game runs as well as it does elsewhere without restrictions or inconvenience, most of us are happy and don't care about the technical details of how it's running.
This is a great attack vector on corporations that use shared servers for their users.

So you're idea is to hope that some large company hires an FTE to contribute to your project full time? Sounds like a very poor bet.

Anyway, I would vastly rather they pay me to write the patch properly, the way I want it, the way I would have designed it. Much easier to maintain than than a drive-by patch.

As long as you are paid regular enterprise-software range fees, hiring your own freelancers to help you write patches is also easily achievable.
> Relying on your ssd for swap over getting enough memory in the first place seems like false economy to me.

这应该还是材料的各向异性, 也就是它的准一维结构导致. 因为材料当中有一个固定晶相, 那个方向的抗磁性最强, 所以磁感线总会沿着这个方向走, 导致所有样品都是竖起来的.

This should be due to the anisotropy of the material, that is, its quasi-one-dimensional structure. Because there is a fixed crystal phase in the material, that direction has the strongest diamagnetism, so the magnetic field lines will always go along this direction, causing all The samples are all upright.

To my knowledge this is the first ever demonstration to show the exactly same thing as Q-center's original video (partly because this sample is much larger than others), so I believe my argument is probably safe. But I understand your and GP's judgements given the recent craze. To be fair, I'm still conservative about the whole thing, but it does look clear to me that we are witnessing the conflict between two big theories of SC, rather than some crackpot versus "legit" scientists, hence my new article.
Proton and Steam Deck seem quite remarkable. So yes, Steam products run well on Steam hardware... however I install a lot of WINE games and I am not seeing that Steam give back to the broader WINE community and open source project. If Steam could somehow propogate all that Linux knowledge back to the project it would be a real win for Linux gaming and a big pat on the back for them then.

For starters, you can't run this kind of emulator on a per-frame basis (i.e. run all the game code for one frame, then wait for vsync on the host system, then repeat) if you want sound. Games rely on running at a certain clock speed and they generate sound by writing to the registers of the sound chip. They sometimes do it more frequently than the refresh rate of the screen. You have to sync with real time much more often than once per frame for everything to work as intended.

I don't want to argue for Lyme being developed as bioweapon. I'm debating the argument that Lyme is not a weapon due to mild and slow action. IMO that's a bad argument in itself.

Deploy a deterrent from venturing into the wilderness, deploy disinformation campaign blowing effects out of proportion and in merely a generation you will drastically reduce wilderness survival capability of the population and in turn capability to organize guerilla style insurgency. That's a very far fetched argument for Lyme in particular, but a solid argument for deterrent weaponry in general.

Warfare is not necessarily about lethal precision strikes, that's the argument.

Electric car range varies widely depending on how you use it and conditions, regardless of which car brand or model you use. Our family has a Nissan Leaf and a Tesla Model 3 and both ranges vary widely depending on how you drive.

Driving at 80mph on a highway will greatly reduce the range of any EV, compared to 45 mph. Using high-draw features like heating (also depends on the type of heating used) will also drain the battery faster.

Cold temperatures also reduce range, but it depends on the EV. Teslas cool or heat the battery to keep an optimal battery temperature. Nissan Leaf uses air cooling, which means repeated supercharging in hot weather overheats the battery, so they cannot make long trips. So Teslas are less affected by hot and cold temperatures than some other EVs. So it depends on the EV.

EV users need to educate themselves on how electric cars operate regarding range. It's not unique to Tesla by any means.
