To add onto some of the great replies, one aspect of the proposal is much higher power with less harmonic attenuation. 23 db less attenuation with a 20x power increase is going to cause interference in the adjacent ham bands.

As a practical matter, interference complaints from hams are not easily or quickly resolved. Interference from power companies is difficult enough, and they want to know when their equipment is throwing sparks!

There’s no reason why tests administered in-person have to be on a computer anyway for the typical school situation, other than some disability accommodation circumstances which might also have other solutions. They can just be proctored the traditional way, whether they are graded by scanning machine (as can be done for multiple-choice bubble tests) or by a human.

If a computer test is legally mandated with no option for the school or the district to pick a paper version, then that’s the politicians’ or administrators’ fault for forcing a wasteful budget of purchasing and replacing simple but short-lived devices (or paying more to maintain and support longer-lived devices) just for that reason.

Repeating my reply from elsewhere in the thread, individuals and corporations aren't making tradable decisions at subsecond intervals. Few even make tradable decisions at intraday intervals. Given that randomization need only apply to orders placed simultaneously at identical prices, I don't see how it would increase market frictions enough to significantly limit the utility of markets in price discovery, long-term investing, and the raising of capital.

Submit a limit order at a price you find fair and wait your turn or just take whatever's available on the other side of the order book. Markets have long functioned productively and efficiently on slower, human-speed timescales without the need for day traders or intrahour market makers.
Sorry not going to stoop at your level of calling your comment dumb but next time you should try to elevate yourself.

You are making blanket statements without any substance. I was simply pointing out that it is silly to make blanket statements that people should not be focusing their efforts on financial markets. It is a complex benefit and problem and it demonstrates the lack of education by saying timing is not an important aspect of price discovery. I agree there are probably negative aspects but I think it’s a complicated problem to unravel.

Why would anyone want to program a smartphone entirely in assembly?

There is a reason (well actually there are many) that the vast majority of software development these days is done using more advanced languages.
I recently brought a computer chair. I guess I did everything on your list, for months, and couldn't find anything actually good anywhere, mostly because the dimensions that I cared for were never listed as filters.

Then I came to a nearby manufacturer's store, just tried all the models and found an ok one.

I also had to change a light-switch. No store would both let me filter the assembly, switches and finishing by model line and the complete trio. So I came into a physical store and got a preassembled set from the display.

Webstores have became completely incompetent pieces of garbage since they all consolidated into an oligopoly.

to each his own, but I can't really use a computer without implicating myself with software written by people with totally different ethics/philosophy/politic than myself; in fact I think that no one can.

Lists (like *args) are by definition ordered, and dicts (and thus **kwargs) are by definition unordered key-value pairs.

This would be very confusing in suddenly giving dicts a half-ordered, half-not semantics in a particular context.

Why wouldn't you simply switch to setting everything through kwargs instead?

Not to mention that this would have a performance penalty for dicts as they would have to keep an ordered set of integer keys in case they are used with **.

So I'm curious what kind of AI or algorithm could reliably detect "minors" and that laundry list of scenarios she listed that could indicate abuse or exploitation.

I mean, she's got a very young look and so visually, could pass for a teenager, but listen to her voice and she's obviously mature.

Any sort of automated "minor detection" has got to have a wide margin for error, or it will simply be sweeping up every 18-20 year old in sight, and mostly women, yes.
FWIW Rust does not have variadic functions. The closest thing would be either macros, which are variadic, or trait methods, which are not variadic but can look like they are.
We could argue for purely functional, utilitarian priorities. But it seems a large fraction of humanity is very susceptible to form over function. Pretending that I think this is testable, I would wager that most people who "care" about fonts in the general population are driven by the same fashion mechanisms as in clothing and other product consumption.

And I don't mean that they have to be aware they are bound like this... many are driven subconsciously by fashion concerns even when they construct other rationalization for their preferences. Humans are intensely social and can turn nearly any kind of visible behavior or marking into a social signal.

A very small number might actually be concerned with actual usability/human factors of fonts, but most are in it for the tribal aspects of associating font usage with other "brand" or tribal identities. For the amateur producers, this can lead to cargo-cult emulation of the producers they admire. Even dissent here can fall into the same trap---consider how many times you've seen a LaTex document from a student who wants to be an author of a computer science paper, but doesn't really have anything to say (yet?)...

Your executables will be a small fraction of the size that you expect, you will likely be able to fit the whole thing in cache and you will consume less power because you will be happy with a smaller cycles budget so you can run the cpu much slower.

But how quickly though? Do we know the write endurance of the Mac SSDs?

I'm not a Mac fanboy by any means. But SSD write endurance has become ridiculous. Even on a cheap-ish read-intensive server-class 1 TB NVMe SSD (~$300) you get around 1 petabyte total write endurance, meaning you can write essentially the entire contents of the disk every day for 5 years and still be within the warranty. That is orders of magnitude beyond what any consumer is going to subject their disk to.

There is always a possibility that a part of the computer will fail. But if the SSD is less likely to fail than any other random IC on the motherboard, having it soldered on doesn't factor significantly into the failure statistics.

Of course it's super annoying that you can't upgrade the disk size, but that's another point.

I agree, but I think that says more about how the market for OS-software evolved (with the assumption that the OS should provide core fonts "for free") as opposed to an indication of monopoly or lock-in.

The average person probably doesn't notice (nor care) about the subtle differences between those major (OS-company supplied) fonts versus open-source equivalents or their competitors' proprietary ones.
I work in HFT. A lot of the folk we've hired came from places like Twitter, Facebook and other social media tech firms. Its not hard to make the argument that social media is just as toxic or even worse.

This is so true and so powerful. People in general really underestimate how "hackable" their brains and habits are.

It's probably the single biggest fixable difference I see between people who are successful and happy and those who aren't.

I think the general HN demographic is perhaps more inclined to recognize this than the general population. Not that the hacker community has a monopoly on it by any means. Athletes, successful executives, etc. They know it too.

Edit: I want to be extremely clear. I am talking about a mindset of self-improvement. It is not a magic cure for anything. I am not telling you that you can just magically "mind hack" problems away.

I recognize that there is a fine line to walk here. There are a lot of people who think that your depression or your ADHD or your whatever is a result of you simply not trying hard enough or not finding the right "hack." Those people are wrong, and that attitude is misguided and hurtful.

In my experience happiness and success is the result of finding a happy middle ground between (a) learned helplessness (b) a toxic and delusional belief in magical positive thinking. You should believe that you can continually hone your skills and habits. You should not take that sort of attitude to a toxic extreme, and you certainly should not use it as a tool to hurt and judge others.

Cooling my forehead by applying water has helped me fall asleep, especially on warm days.

Note: if you try this, don't dry the forehead after applying water. The main longterm cooling mechanism is through slow evaporation just like with sweat

> An AES library that might not even work (since no one actually uses it)

The library I provided was the first result I got when I searched for "parallel AES", and it's not used because there aren't a lot of scenarios where people need the extra performance extracted by splitting workloads between CPUs & GPUs. Ways to improve the parallel processing of AES was still the subject of some research a decade ago, but there's not a question as to whether it is feasible today. There's just not a lot of call for software that does it because aside from brute-force attacks, in practical scenarios the hardware is already fast enough.

> You don't. Unless you're saying the author has already integrated this into the described software stack?

So now the scenario you've got here is someone with requirements and means at their disposal to regularly pull down data over a single connection at gigabit speeds from the Internet, but doesn't invest in their network proxy enough to get hardware that can decrypt at performance that was available for commodity hardware over a dozen years ago, who is hacking away on a Raspberry Pi to MITM their Internet access, interpret layer-7 protocols, develop software to manipulate those protocols in ways that don't break the functionality they require but do break ad platforms, but don't have the resources to swap out their encryption library?
