Learning mathematics teaches you general concepts of critical thinking.

For example, the way to solve a quadratic is to reduce it to a form one knows how to solve (via competing the square).

The specifics of the mathematics are not the prize, the methods of thinking are.
It isn't, and I think we should be frank about that.

And to be frank the thing is people are caring less and less about work. Spending power of the working class has decreased as company profits soar. Layoffs are rampant, pensions are dead, and interviewing is its own chore also enabled by an enshittified app. We should stop sugarcoating it and just lay it out: companies don't care anymore so why should workers?
If spending power is falling and work doesn't want to increase income, the next best thing is getting back your time.

And the thing that makes it different from dating is that a long distance relationship is extremely hard to maintain, especially if you want plans like family or intimate dates or whatnot. My workplace is not a romantic relationship; I do work for agreed upon pay and the work benefits if that pay still ends up bringing more value than they pay me. I benefit from a variety of factors depending on my person; growth, money, environment, personal fulfillment, etc. take your pick. Some of those require a physical office more than others. My desires don't require it (even if it would be convenient).
> Do you also suggest that when an application is ad-ridden or potentially malware-ridden to also just not use the app? Naturally that's an option, but the review is to warn other users of their experience.

Is a restaurant owner pissed off about a one star review by somebody who didn't like the decor in the bathroom implicitly suggesting that people who receive food poisoning at a restaurant have no right to communicate that experience to other potential customers? Is a homeowner who puts out ant traps in her kitchen tacitly endorsing genocide?

I think there is such a vast gulf between displaying a mildly annoying message asking for donations and tricking someone into installing malware on their computer that anybody with a moderately intact sense of proportionality should have no trouble seeing it. So, no, I don't suggest that.
I have been following the TinyPilot project on & off for a while, and I just wanted to say I appreciate your openness as well as your excellent attitude toward feedback. I think many of us (myself included) have been spoiled with various forms of free/open software and have come to expect things to be cheap or free.

But of course github stars and positive reviews won't pay our bills. So it totally makes sense to charge what you are charging for your product. You deserve it, and you're clearly putting in hard and honest work. If and when I need a KVM I will 100% be reaching for a TinyPilot.
Starfield looked incredibly boring from the trailers and preview videos. I had to shake my head and roll my eyes at the review scores. I’ll stick to Halo if I want to constantly jump and shoot aliens.
> More recently it seems to be not-happy with iCloud Relay connections and it either cannot be reached or gets in a reCAPTCHA loop.

iCloud Relay might be using Cloudflare's DNS, which is why it won't work.
That's a really good point about Twitch ads. I leave Twitch ads enabled for channels I regularly watch and I cannot recall seeing any malware or scam ads. Some can be annoying (especially if it queues the same ad 3 times in a row), but they're all from legitimate companies offering legitimate products and services.
Back to their idea of "normal". So likely five days a week for underlings and whenever for executives.
I'm a PC gamer. I couldn't give a toss what frame rate I'm getting, or what the graphics benchmark is.

I get the fascination of tinkering with the build, and optimising stuff, and so on. But eventually it's got to come down to actually playing the game, right? This article is a classic case in point: not once, in the entire article, does it talk about the actual game. It only talks about graphics performance. Who buys games just to run them at 60fps at 4K? Surely at some point you've got to actually, y'know, play the game and enjoy that game?
Never miss an opportunity to be a kill joke!!!
Python was named after Monty Python the British comedy group.
If you have not watched them, I highly recommend.

I've long been thinking that society is badly missing technology-enabled social tools for finding consensus because, unfortunately, the current social networks and their monetization principles drive exactly the opposite - i.e. polarization.

Carl Sagan's Rules seem like a candidate for a framework for such a tool, or at least, a starting point.
> "The sensible thing to do is just ignore them."

I tend to go one step further than "ignore mode" (when I'm not bein' so utterly stupid as to get sucked in and actually respond) and actively block them any and every way that I can so that I never see that person's crap again.
> My experience is limited to my '14 senior research project about designing a proof-of-bandwidth altcoin, where I quickly resized the only way for it to have value was for unrelated traders to irrationally trade it with each other based on speculation.

Out of curiosity, how did you not realize this prior? Academia's propping-up of cryptocurrency throughout basically its whole lifetime, but especially over the past decade has been deeply sad for me to watch. I thought these were the people evaluating things from first principles rather than merely taking things on faith (or more likely, due to some conflict of interest). Seeing that they have whole classes at MIT dedicated to it is, again, profoundly sad.
I have a 2018 Model 3 and the recalibration fee for a replaced windshield is complete BS. The tech that installed my replacement said they should self-recalibrate or I can just press the recalibration button in the service menu, which I did and the car had no issues adjusting.

Safelite wanted to charge ~$500 to press that button. I fortunately went with an OEM installer and although I paid a little more for the windshield, it was less than the cost of a non-oem with the recalibration fee.
Yup, this is exactly why I installed ublock origin on my grandparents computers. Malware and scams are too prevalent across the web, and unfortunately, google SERP and Youtube aren't immune.
Selfishness and lack of sense of sacrifice.
You're arguing against a straw man.
I don't disagree with anything you've written, but (somewhat) regularly buy new batteries for my Lenovo X220, at about the same price to value ratio.
Cool. By the sounds of it, they needed the docker image in the first place because they chose fly.io. This guy is saying that Cloudflare wouldn't support it, but if they went the cloudflare route (which I'm not saying whether or not it's actually possible), they wouldn't have needed the docker image in the first place.
It's a little tongue in cheek. There were completion incentives around certain tasks, especially on the construction and physical side, being completed on a date. Date was defined as 4PM on the date, and there was a financial benefit to be early in many cases. The last physical task required to be completed and submitted was done at 3:15, thus "45 minutes early".

That said, some major elements were tracked to the minute. I wish I could share more, it's a great story!
> "Because you want to see that sort of project exist and if no one else is doing it, why not yourself?"

That right there was my understanding of how most open source projects come into existence. Building a thing because it's a thing you want, and it don't yet exist in the form you're seeking, so ... "I'll just make it myself!" Then you throw it out into the world, because "Hey, why not?"
I’m familiar with all of that

How does that apply to the context presented?

Okay let me try: China is going to invade both of them too and we dont want that to happen? North Korea is going to invade both of them? South Korea and Japan are going to fight each other? If thats not what you were referring to then I dont know
>I wonder how many people who downvoted cook for themselves 100% of the time.

I think we're missing the forest for the trees here. it's not about cooking, it's about making sure your whole life isn't "ready-made meals". Put the metaphor into every other aspect of life.

We will all take shortcuts somewhere, but shortcuts imply a destination. if your destination is just more McDonalds, I think we are missing something vital to out lives.

>a meal cooked by somebody else always tastes better than when you cook it yourself.

the "joke" implied intimacy in said meal. It's not the meal, it's who made it for you. coporate billionaire food chain pumping out "burgers" cooked by minimum wage workers with no upward mobility is about as distant as you can get.
But aren't they explicitly paying the cost of those employees' competitive salaries?
Believe it or not, I tried concierge care. Pretty much the same thing only with a big "cover charge" and a lot of gorilla juice about personalized attention. Left after three months - initial comprehensive exam where the practice owner/doctor was distracted by multiple phone calls and a student he was teaching on my time. I was telling him about my bad Achilles tendon which he proceeded to whack when the reflex test on my knee didn't go the way he expected. The pain was excruciating and when I found my voice, I let him have it.

He was late to the followup, couldn't explain the results his machines had given him, and then rushed me out after the usual 10 minutes.

I think family practice/primary care is on the ropes. The big lie is that some doctor will "get to know you as an individual." Reality is that s/he's given a quota and time limits by some MBA and the Epic system will make damn sure that the doctor does not use any initiative in solving the patient's problem.

I am still at the point where I can prepare and advocate for myself. When that goes, it'll be curtains.
very cool! looking forward to trying it
Holy moley the ads. This latest campaign finally convinced me to turn off the adblockers on youtube and goodness Foxnews emergency rations and buygold are the ads utter contemptable garbage. Obvious scams, get rich quick schemes, Trump political ads....please for all that is holy get that shit off of my screen.

I'd even be willing to watch a blank screen for the length of the ads if I didn't have to see this trash.
If anyone is playing on Linux with an AMD GPU and has texture issues (missing FBI text on the characters' jackets is the give away), it can be fixed with applying a patch to mesa-git: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/175.... It should hopefully be implemented soon. I think it's only limited to RDNA2.
What you're referring to is called a "company union" and its explicitly illegal, at least in the US.
Let’s say a human needs an average of 2000 calories a day. A calorie is roughly equivalent to 1 Watt hour, so over 20 years, it takes about 15 MWh to sustain a human.

Let’s say a single A100 has a peak power draw of 250W, and you need 100 to train an LLM. So each hour of training consumes 25,000 Wh of energy. 15 MWh / 25,000 W = 600 hours, or 25 days, which is probably pretty close to the true training time.

So the numbers are actually pretty close. But a human brain doesn’t start out as a set of random weights like an LLM. The human brain has predefined structure that’s the result of an extremely long evolutionary process.
Who is the richest tech billionaire with the most actual technical skills?
It was your idea. He suggested it was a universal temptation, you suggested it was a personal problem. If it's personal, there is a community of people with that same problem.
I'm not really sure what you're getting at here. By all accounts, YouTube is implementing countermeasures that block adblock users from watching videos on their site. What is functionally different between that and returning a 402, especially since you can in fact pay for ad-free YouTube?
Reddit shouldn't be considered as a tech support site. As most of the drama happens there. GitHub issues might have less drama as compared to that. Just avoid reddit at all costs for your peace of mind.
Computation at the Edge of Chaos (1990)

> Youtube is free to not show anyone anything - once they send me data and it leaves their system, they have no claim to it.

Okay well they're about to not show you the videos. You support their latest announcement right? It is completely in line with the the philosophy you just put forward.
While I applaud any attempts to innovate in this area, I'd be more interested in seeing the opposite approach - integrating persistent storage in a programming language. If we already have default implementations of dictionaries, linked lists, and other in-memory data structures in programming languages, why not have default implementations of permanent data structures such as object collections and KV-stores?
I look forward to a future earth with fewer people.

More people than in the 1950s, to be sure, and the world didn't end then.

This "argument" is bad faith and predicated on living within our means being a bad thing a priori with no demonstration that this is in fact true.

When future historians look back on the last half century, I suspect they will pass over war, terror, and populism to settle on infertility as the decisive event of the age.

Let's be clear, "infertility" is, in the eyes of the WHO:

a disease of the male or female reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse.

and the worlds population is having fewer children in advanced economies largely through choice not disease.

It's well past time to start evaluating economies without the assumption that unlimited growth is the one and only tue goal and measure of success.
>I’m allowed to just exist and be happy with it. Perhaps I don’t need a hobby to keep me happy. Perhaps my favorite thing to do is watch Netflix with my family. Who are you to judge?

See heres the difference, "your family". your goal with Netflix in that sentence isn't necessarily to just enjoy your favorite shows, it's to bond together with people you very likely spent years taking care of.

Now, as for me with no hobbies as a single overweight dude in the suburbs who's only possible redeeming factor is making decent money... Do you think I have a chance of achieving such a family if I took on your quote (minus the "with my family")? Even if Tinder wasn't enshittified I'd sure have a hard time carrying a conversation with any potential dates. Yes, they will judge me, hard. I'm not physically attractive enough to ignore being interesting (and not that financially attractive either. I'm not buying a partner 4 star meals every day levels of rich).

(I am mostly underselling myself here btw... mostly. I do have hobbies past Netflix thankfully).
Building Group Cohesion Horizontally: A Distributed Collective Action Network
So with no power to predict the outcomes of my actions, or even predict how I will pick an action, I bear witness to myself acting anyway- and this we call free will?

What troubles me is that the more we take away any determining factors for free will the more it sounds like randomness.
I dunno. My comment complained about the parent comment not adding positively to the discussion. And gave at least a bit of support for that complaint.

Would you have preferred I emulate your style, and complain while providing no support for my complaint?

Ok.
The issue too often is business analysts wanting to be product managers when technical analysts may enable to learn the role better.

TA’s will devour the BA’s because tech folks can learn business easier than the other way around.

Still, BA’s can learn the details and get more fluent in working with them.
Dating is very much an interview. It doesn’t have to be formal. Whatever that means. But there are things that we hopefully all consider “hard no’s” and is this person worth me putting time in on.

It's air temperature according to a linked article (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/feb/25/mass-mor...):

> They concluded that a rise in temperature to 37C and an increase in humidity above 80% in the previous few days had stimulated the bacteria to pass into the bloodstream where it caused haemorrhagic septicaemia, or blood poisoning.
"Since at least 2005" is not a wrong answer. It's imprecise, but perfectly accurate. And since there is no oracle of absolute truth to consult, it's not like it's wrong to seek out empirical answers like this, it's just one fairly general approach to find a new upper bound. Of course, in this case there is a better answer, but still, there's nothing weird or wrong about the approach.
I think you are right, but what you are ragging on is the meta of PC gaming. It's like an old muscle car nut trying to optimize the top speed of their car, acceleration, etc. They enjoy driving it, but the tweaking is an additive experience. It may eventually become the experience altogether.

If this isn't you, consoles or mid-tier PCs are a great fit.

I would say I straddle the two - if I buy great hardware, I expect to capitalize on it. But I don't overclock shit or care exactly what speed my RAM is, nor do I need the fastest SSD or top tier everything.
That’s crazy to me, I couldn’t tell you the last time I had to change an LED bulb, certainly it’s at least five years. And I work from home in a part of the world where it’s very dark for half the year so they get a lot of use.

They’re Philips Hue bulbs, a mix between LWB010 and LTW001, but even the cheap supermarket bulbs have lasted so long I also couldn’t tell you when I last changed them. Some of them have been in the house longer than I have.
It is good, but you have to go into it with different expectations. Skill Up has the best review of it that I've seen [0], where the game is actually a 4th wall breaking meta commentary on the story driven and mystery game genre as a whole, with live action parts interspersed with the gameplay and cutscenes.

Yeah but what percentage of subscription costs go to paying creators?
I signed up and it immediately tells me my subscription is expired, but if I click into subscription it says trial till nov 6th. Signed in and out couple times, same.
How did Vercel "destroy" React? How are they a "get rich quick" "rugpull"?

Respectfully, you have no idea what you're talking about.
TBH I'm mostly doing it to try and get back to shape. Too fat to run without stressig my joints, so walking/hiking is the next best part.

can feel a bit lonely seeing other groups pass by. But you see your app tell you you got 4 miles in and burned 800 calories and you realize that you're progressing.
The fact that running a game at almost 720p and hitting 30fps in demanding areas with high-end last-gen hardware is slightly concerning. Are developers not optimizing their games anymore?
This is really amazing, but a part of me is really sad this reminds me of the Actionscript 3 Audio API, which I used to build something similar, more than a decade ago while in undergrad.

Looking into it, it's kind of crazy it's an ECMAScript standard, and that its spiritual successor is TypeScript.
The reality is that 70-90% of a CPU is SRAM (cache and registers), and only a small portion is actual logic and even that is replicated across multiple cores. Factor in the extremely redundant gpu on the SoC with its own cores and SRAM along with the I/O controller and those billions of transistors boil down to a tiny amount of actual unique logic circuits. Still very impressive, but helps put things in perspective.
Every single time I meet one of the developers of an open source project that has benefited me in some way, I always make it a point to tell them "Thank you" and let them know how (and how much) their generosity benefited me, and how much I really appreciate it. I also make efforts to help out in any ways I'm able. Sometimes that's cash (when I've got some available to spare), and sometimes it's just helping out in support channels, or bugreports / pull requests, etc.

> Those manuals indicate just a fraction of the complexity that lies inside of the device -- they describe features that I can use, not even how those features are implemented or made.

And even then:

1) There's parts of the manual which are brief summaries, written with the assumption you're already familiar with the larger standards they interface with. The SDIO and USBOTG sections of the reference manual come to mind in particular, not to mention all the external manuals it takes to describe the ARM Cortex-M architecture.

2) That's a fairly simple microcontroller. (Given the page count, it sounds like you're working with STM32F401.) The STM32H7 series reference manual is 3500+ pages.
Just joining in with others who report that I haven't had any problems with LED bulb failures. I've used exclusively LED bulbs for at least 5 years now (maybe about 15 bulbs across my home), and none has ever failed on me.

They do sometimes flicker when they're in a traditional dimmer set at an intermediate level, even though the ones I've bought claim to work with a dimmer. That's frustrating.

But I haven't had any outright failures.

If it helps: I bought mostly SANSI bulbs off Amazon.
This sounds very incellish. It’s not considered sexual harrasment to politely gauge interest and immediately back off when you see the signs they aren’t interested.
The thing is it wasn't easy, it was merely possible.

It seams easier now because we have much better access to information and ideas that were much harder to come by. The Gigatron was a team effort, that team wouldn't have come together without the internet. I'm not sure when that particular ALU design came about but the idea of sticking 8 multiplexers and 2 adders together like that was a little bit of genius in itself.
It’s also incredibly wasteful. 30-40% of a battery bank’s capacity is lost to inefficiency, and even worse with a case on. It would be great if phones commonly offered pogo pins on the back in addition to wireless charging.
If you read this article, I think most would understand that it is primarily aimed at other neuroscientists, and only using ML structures an an analogy only, and I think a somewhat useful one to boot. The real point of the article was to propose a general hierarchy for how information flows in the brain, to emphasize the importance of subcortical brain even in higher order cognition, and proposes how simultaneous processing of multiple levels of representation can inform action and thought.

As a developmental neuroscientist, I found the article insightful and thought provoking. Further, it is quite consistent with major hypotheses in psychology, how the hippocampus works (a subcortical structure) and combines information into memories: See fuzzy trace theory [1], for example.

Your dismissive tone is unappreciated, ill-informed, and crass.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy-trace_theory
hm, I dont feel the same way

you should do some coding closer to the chip

some bitshifting, some bit level manipulation

you dont have to be good at assembly, just do a hello world and make a mental visualization of the registers being hit

look up the OPCODES in your specific chipset , make some code to hit that specifically

make a process that does it as fast as possible and benchmark it, do it faster or slower on a different chipset, or a resource constrained environment

it makes it all really easy to follow and visualize
