"After Republicans gained a majority of the House of Representatives at the start of the 118th Congress, the House voted to continue the committee, now dubbed Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, was approved as part of the House's rules package on January 9, 2023, by a 220–213 vote. The purpose of the committee was changed to investigate the origins of COVID-19, gain-of-function research, coronavirus-related government spending, and mask and vaccine mandates."

"During the committee's first hearing on March 8, Republican Jim Jordan—who is not a member of the committee—baselessly alleged that Anthony Fauci had steered a $9 million grant to two scientists in exchange for them changing their position that the virus had originated in a lab to originating naturally."

The committee is chaired by Republican Brad Wenstrup

"In December 2020, Wenstrup was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives to sign an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election, in which Joe Biden defeated incumbent Donald Trump."

I’m surprised you put some much value in one gate that you didn’t pass through.
I live in Arizona, my son is non-verbal and autistic. My wife visited the public school that our son would have been attended and found that the staff were largely disengaged. Only one person in the room had any real qualification (she was engaged and competent), but that teacher would only have 20 minutes a day to spend with our son.

Due to my son's developmental trajectory, he qualified for the ESA before it was generally available (although AZ's attorney general's office had to get quietly involved due to race-based discrimination during the application process). He now has a tutor that works with him 2-3 hours a day one-on-one and he is making audible verbal progress. His tutor is in a master's program for speech language pathology at our local state university. We pay her out of pocket and get reimbursed through the ESA. AZ's ESA program is the ONLY shot my son has to be functional and avoid living on disability his entire life (which will cost the state a LOT more than getting him a competent tutor).

Should public schools be improved? Yes. Will they be improved before my son's developmental window for language is closed? No. Funding ESAs are like diversifying your societal investment by funding startups vs just buying more IBM stock. Hopefully, the difference will be more like startups vs Microsoft, which has turned some things around. Sclerotic institutions need re-invigoration, which requires real incentives to break out of their current ruts.

During the Loma Prieta quake I heard about it on the radio (I was driving) before it arrived .... light from electrical discharges is always going to arrive before the shockwave so the 'before' part is not at all surprising.

The cause of course could easily be from the electricity distribution infrastructure, or from some piezo/etc effect from the earth moving - it's likely not presaging the quake itself

cold medication has, as far as I've personally seen, never claimed to treat the problem, just relieve the symptoms. The marketing definitely deviates from this, though.
Is that even possible with USB-C, though?

I believe at least the CC connection needs to be intact for a conformant power adapter or device to even output any voltage for charging for a C-to-C cable.

It might be possible to omit the D+ and D- wires, but that disqualifies many legacy charging protocols as well.

This article fundamentally misunderstands what makes a great CEO actually really valuable. It’s not the simple optimizations fed to them by consultants that makes them necessary and not able to be replaced by AI.

Great CEOs are leaders of people. People cannot be led by AI. AI cannot go to dinner with an important partner or make their leadership team feel valued.

It is these uniquely human things that make a great CEO great. If all they do is plug in formulas, which I think is a gross oversimplification of the complexities of being a modern CEO, then they should be replaced by AI. But that will not happen anytime soon.
There are dozens of us! Seriously though, I am not going to buy another iPhone unless they bring it back.
You will probably disagree, but I see 1:1s with my manager as an opportunity to schmooze and re-iterate my accomplishments (I tend to be good at my job). I also tend to be an introvert, but I can turn on the charm as well as the bullshit if it is worth the effort.

Basically, I try to engineer 1:1s in my favor if I can - usually only upside opportunity in my case. If I can't, I would probably avoid them.

I can't speak to IT specifically, but generally the answer would be yes. Stuff happens, resulting in "nonstandard" or unexpected requests, and the decision on how to deal with them rests with the business, with reasonable input from the people involved. In my own work, this can often happen by accident when departments and business units are reorganized and acquired. I once got an entire product line dropped in my lap, that didn't work at all, hardware or software.

Many, if not most, professions are not nearly as well organized and optimized as IT, so we don't have things like silos and ticketing systems to regularize our work. I can imagine an IT worker who has never experienced a nonstandard request, but I can't imagine it in my own occupation.
I assume they're using a standard protocol like S/MIME

They're afraid that this feature will be implemented with as much care as the threatening emails they send to developers. They're afraid of the prospect of rewriting their games in another engine because there has never been time enough for that to be a good idea

No, I agree with the original commenter.

It's about reading the full discussion section to understand it in nuance, see the caveats etc.

It's not about a summary -- it's about skipping the intro that reviews the literature you already know, the method, all the tables of results, and jumping to the actual good stuff.

I frequently find myself scrolling to get to that part, overshooting, scrolling back...

UpdateWhere is a handy function
This is a simple function that I find quite useful. Crawl through an object to update some specific nested value. Useful for things like optimistic updates in a cache (eg. Find every instance of an object with some guid in any random data structure and update a field in it).

Is this function known by any other name?
>They have billions of dollars, so it struck me as odd to see such concern for efficiency

You have it the wrong way around, it's because of that concern that they have billions of dollars. Obsessively making things a tiny bit more efficient is their business. Works both for software and for markets
A large subset of 1600 critics and 480 directors strongly disagree with you.
>what if Steam went belly-up? Would I lose everything I paid for?

In many cases it's possible to copy the game out of the Steam folders and have it still work. It depends on how much Steam/DRM functionality it uses and on packaging issues. At least for Linux-native games, I have found the games almost always work outside Steam (once any dynamic library issues are cleared up).
And it always has been. Unless your data is stored as encrypted on a Internet-connected server, consider it as good as leaked.
Why is Nvidia obligated to compete in those arenas? They reserve every right to turn down contracts they don't want. You can't blame Nvidia for products they never released.

Plus, all of the situations you listed make sense:

- Nvidia didn't have their own x86 core design, so there's no reason to bid on Sony/Microsoft contracts against AMD.

- Until recently, Nvidia didn't have a complete system capable of scaling into the Top500 list.

- The Switch made sense as it was a mobile device, and Nvidia had been deploying ARM SOCs for almost a decade.

> You know how they chose to compete? They bought Mellanox

...and used their technology to replace the outdated NVlink bridge on their datacenter products? The value of that acquisition was in the networking technology, Nvidia spends more on securing TSMC contracts than they did buying Mellanox. It was means to an end for them, and nothing really backfired.

It's dumbfounding how people are foaming at the mouth over Nvidia right now. They've published more AI papers than Microsoft and Apple combined, yet everyone pretends like it's dumb luck that they're the platform-of-choice. Nvidia has a lot of places where they could improve, but I don't think you listed any of them.

The one you could build for under 2K is last gen hardware.

* Chenbro Rackmount 4U Server Chassis RM42300-F (rack mount case Remove the air filter on 120mm fan. Put two decent 80mm exhaust at rear).
* Two used air cooled 3090s. About $650 a piece on ebay. Check slot width and make sure everything will fit on your motherboard. Do a burn in when you get them cause used GPUs can be hit or miss.
* 5950x CPU (overkill just had it)
* 128GB DDR4
* Motherboard with x570 chipset and dual pcie x16. These will birificate to x8 pcie 4.0 lanes to each GPU. This is enough bandwidth to push GPUs to max IME
* 1200W+ ATX power supply.
* ebay "u.2 pcie 3.84TB" and adaptor for m.2 NVME slot. (again what I had & it is cheap)

If you're going to really beat the thing I would power limit the 3090s to 320w (from 350w). Perf change is not really notable and keeps temps better.
While there are different kinds of USB-C cable, they all support at least as much as a lightning cable. So while it's annoying when they're badly labeled, it's hard for me to see this as a downside in comparison to lightning.
Right! So every quarter or maybe once a month max then.

As a teenager in 1975, I was interested in programming, and found that my county library branch had introductory books on a half-dozen languages, including COBOL. I checked out each book and implemented a small set of programs. I had no machine, I carefully desk-checked each program.

In the case of COBOL, calculations were tedious. I escaped into the loving arms of the COMPUTE statement. I later read that this was a cultural violation similar to using unPythonic code in Python. But I didn’t have a mentor, much less a reviewer.

I think this counts as “for fun”. I later earned minor ducats writing little RPG programs, and the rest of my career has been far, far away from such programs.
Calling Go blazing fast would be a stretch at best...the path to performance in C# is same as in Rust or C++: struct generics (aka templates), as short hot paths as possible, static partitioning of the work, sometimes hands on memory management and minimization of locking.
I share parent's sentiment, with a slightly different angle: we already see what good mobile games are. They're on the Switch, SteamDeck, portable emulators etc.

In comparison games that can't survive under the Nintendo rules but still need a wide platform flourish on smartphones. That's where we see the split between games that can stand without micro-transaction and dark patterns, and those that can't. Genshin has been announced to come to the Switch for years now, and I'm not holding my breath given their mechanics, while the new iPhone's GPU capabilities are straight aimed at letting Hoyo thrive.
I mean you're totally right. However, if one is extra bothered by the AI training, it might be easier to adopt the use of GPG than change email providers.
Apple is justified doing whatever they want. I even agree with apple's stand that traditional gaming market doesn't matter to them. But from the traditional developers' perspective, Apple system is hostile and they have no reason to develop for Apple. Valve go out of their way to develop proton which is based on vulkan. Apple could utilize it if they have supported vulkan. Valve actively expand the linux support for old and current games. Apple has to work for it to court the traditional developers. Superior hardware doesn't mean much when the alternatives are good enough

And it's justified, because it's really not that important in money making in grand scheme of things.
I have an open world game I have to make run in 1.3GB of RAM for my min spec. I just can’t see a world where I could do it in Unreal. And unity knows that and is trying to get away with murder.
The direct comment you replied to is pointing out that besides fossil fuels, there is not only no plan, but no other real apparent options in these scenarios. Which are real scenarios and will almost certainly occur.

So either:

1) we’d need to do massive investment right now (on the order of wartime economic reorganization) for renewables, which no one seems interested in. And while plenty of people seem happy to say things are fine but that don’t even come close to penciling out in reality.

2) maybe actually get better at nuclear.

3) have some non-trivial percentage of the population either freeze to death during some “unexpected” winter storm that was entirely predictable, or go back to fossil fuels (if they can) on an emergency basis.

Or, my guess at the most likely outcome;

4) pretend everything is fine until a bunch of people die, then blame those people for their moral failings. Then start panicking.

GitHub stays with algorithmic feed for 'user experience and performance' reasons
September 12, 2023 update:

When we launched the latest version of your feed on September 6, 2023, we made changes to the underlying technology of the feed in order to improve overall platform performance. As a result, we removed the functionality for “push events for repositories a user is subscribed to”. We don’t take these changes lightly, but as our community continues to grow tremendously, we have to prioritize our availability, user experience and performance.

Thanks to feedback from the community, we have fixed the following bugs from the initial September 6th release:

- We were showing releases for organizations that you follow, instead of only showing them for repositories that you watch or star. This is now fixed.

- We have also addressed a problem where ‘Followed You’ cards were sometimes appearing out of chronological order.

- We do not plan to re-include “push events for repositories a user is subscribed to” for the reasons listed above, but we will continue to address feedback as it aligns with our platform goals.
Oh, thanks! I will now straighten my shoulders and walk with pride, knowing I am repressing some busybodies who want to butt into my business.

Alright I'll take that comment back, it is pretty good and I see other films of the same tier on this list.

I still think this list lacks recent films.
Lightning supports two data lanes, so it's theoretically capable of USB 3 speeds.

However, that would have required active/negotiating Lightning-to-USB-3 cables or adapters, since USB 3 requires three lanes, i.e. one more (two for SuperSpeed connections, and one for legacy USB 2.0 high speed connections), and the adapter/cable would have to figure out which one the connected host wants to speak and wire accordingly.

At least one iPad does support USB 3 speeds over Lightning, but only in the other direction, i.e. when acting as an USB host using the "Lightning to USB camera adapter", which was really a generic USB host adapter and supported many more types of devices like audio interfaces, hard drives etc. – I suspect that adapter must be doing just that.
Because it's a distractive technique and divisive when human survival requires cooperation.

Not at all complicated if you understand the intersection of society and harm reduction.
