Zimaboard came out of kickstarter a year and a half ago. Patience is a virtue.

Another reason why there aren't that many alternatives is that you can't use it for that much. It's like buying a car that can carry 50 kg. Great if thats your use case, but if you want anything more, there's no point. I can't really use it as a NAS, firewall etc. I think it certainly has uses, they are just ones that the average NAS/server people can do with a stronger server that can also do nextcloud, pi-hole, etc, in one, rather than have a device for each (which is way more costly).

deterministic tests generally aren't used because the brobibalistic ones can easily get you to a guaranteed chance of 2^-100 of not having a false positive which is enough that it is dramatically more likely that 6 cosmic rays came and flipped the answer than a false positive.
I agree with other poster who responded to this.

Just want to add context matters and comparing my argument to arguments against pro-lifers is unfair.

Assisted suicide only terminates a single life of an individual who has made a choice in a good state of mind.

Even if argument seems the same as your second example it isn’t. Not every issue is the same and context matters.

The comment mentions they're running at max settings. So even current-gen high-end hardware might not be the target. As long as the lower settings scale down fine to lower end hardware, who cares about max settings? That's what the original article is about.

Max settings also means enabled path tracing, which current-gen Nvidia's 4000 series have better hardware acceleration for. So you can't really compare performance to previous hardware which don't have that hardware acceleration. No amount of optimization is going to fix that, and it should probably be turned off if you're not on a 4000 series or newer card.

In that same way, AMD's path tracing hardware acceleration falls behind Nvidia's. A current-gen high-end AMD RX 7900 XTX does worse than Nvidia's last-gen not as high-end 3070 in Cyberpunk 2077's path tracing update. https://youtu.be/cSq2WoARtyM?t=503
It's like Google, with all its tracking might, is unable to actually show relevant ads.

That, or it's broken on purpose.

The proof of this may be that ads on YT are actually completely unrelated to the content I subscribe to and watch on YT. Even if Google has zero web tracking information on me, they know what are my interests through what I watch on their own platform.

Yet, I have never seen an ad for something related to the topics I follow.

This makes me think that Google is not interested in being too good at targetting ads, they wouldn't have much to sell otherwise.
It's hilarious that while discussing getting Nassim Taleb wrong he actually gets it wrong differently...
Nebula was created by a few creator, trying to solve this problem.

I have no idea how well it worked out - I am still contented with the ad-filled YouTube
Indeed, climate change will continue to happen, but I would prefer if humanity also continued to happen for a little while. Ergo I prefer not to hasten its end by accelerating climate change beyond its natural rate.
YouTube had already beat its competitors before it was sold to Google.
Honest answer, I have no interest in doing that research. I wouldn't know how to make that determination with any degree of confidence. Even if I could, I feel like it would require that I constantly monitor how a site delivers its ads.

Fortunately, I am at a point in my life that if I really like something, and they offer an ad-free subscription, I can support them that way.

For Maximum Accessibility, Be Careful About Using a .dev Domain
I wouldn't mind subscribing to YouTube Premium. I use YouTube a crap ton, and every time I hear a creator weigh in on the matter, they claim that subscribers that use YTP earn them way more than 100s of ad views. This could potentially solve my problem with patron, where I just don't have the monthly budget to support everyone directly. A fixed donation that's divided up between everyone I watched that month sounds like a good alternative to those who don't make the cut for my patron budget.

However, I hate how they price YTP. Why is everyone so allergic to options/add-ons with subscriptions? Ideally, I just want to pay for two seat license to YTP+Music, so my wife and I can consolidate our Spotify duo plan with YTP. Failing that, I would love to pay for just YTP without Youtube music and keep Spotify. Under the current model I would have to either pay for two separate full price subscriptions for $28, or for less money, get the family plan and have 3 extra licenses I don't need. I could sublet them to friends or other family, but I don't want to mix our accounts together, and I shouldn't have to be a mini-landlord because Google won't do $14/m + $2.5/m per seat.
Running Rails on a single server with Kamal
Come on, those are not “studies” - they are just the opinions of some random people, and they carry no more or less weight than, for example, my opinion, which is “you can pry my 4 x 27” screens out of my cold, dead, hands.”

The NYTimes article is actually explicit about that:

> Unlike monitor makers with their multidisplay studies, I have no research proving you’ll find as much benefit from a single monitor as I did.

In other words “there are actual studies proving multimonitor setups enhance productivity, but Big Screen(tm) paid for them so they must be wrong” which has no basis in science at all.

Also:

> “Two monitors are a double-edged sword,” said Gloria Mark, a professor who studies workplace distractions at the University of California, Irvine. Ms. Mark hasn’t specifically researched how second monitors might affect focus, and when she recently had a chance to work at a two-monitor machine, she felt that it did make some of her tasks easier. “But most people have their email up on the second screen, and of course, when anything comes in, it’s a great source of distraction,” she said.

So the only actual scientist in all of this actually said “hey, this is making me more productive, unless I fill the screens with distractions”

The tl;dr is that people need to set up their workspace to enhance their flow and focus, and reduce distraction to be productive. The amount of screens is about as relevant to that as the weather outside. (“Hey, the sun is shining and the birds are singing, it is a beautiful day outside, let’s go out!”). As per your own conclusion (“the studies don’t indicate it’s universal” - setting aside the fact that there _are_ no studies) It is not universal.

Trying to whitewash Apple’s lack of DP Daisychaining support as “You don’t need this anyway, Apple simply cares about your productivity!” Is silly.
I'm not an expert, but I have an opinion, maybe some of you want to follow: ALWAYS SUPPORT THE UNDERDOGS. They are the ones experimenting with new ideas and hopefully sharing both what worked and what didn't.

Unfollow all the players with a huge following. They stop producing quality.

Start by supporting underdogs, people who have a following, but small and growing.

Eventually they'll become bigger in terms of following. Then unfollow them.
exactly, "private ownership of the means of production...." that's an important distinction. It also says, "Central characteristics of capitalism include capital accumulation, competitive markets, price systems, private property, property rights recognition, voluntary exchange, and wage labor." Literally the next sentence. I'd rather not argue the very well understood definition of Capitalism.

You can't have wage labor unless you have money as a construct.
Ive been using Bazzite for a while now. it has been great. Works great, has a solid base, but great modifications and additions.I will say I am not a fan of a lot of the distrobox stuff, so I disabled steam, supporting steam stuff, and so on in Distrobox, and replaced it all with direct Flatpak variants. They work better for my needs. I actually had games not work in the distrobox Steam but work just fine in flatpak Steam.

But other than that, everything is just humming along.
My understanding of bacterial disease is that generally the disease itself is caused by bacteria emitting various toxins, either as waste materials or as part of their defense system.

Does it make sense that a commensal bacterium would evolve into something dangerous?
Can you please elaborate what great strides the field of neuroscience has made in the past 30 years?

From where I stand I can’t see anyone giving a clear explanation of anything our brain does or does not do in a disease. The only novel treatment that has come out seems to have been stick a rod into the brain and zap it and it just magically cures a lot of diseases we still don’t understand even a bit.

This is not even starting to discuss what little we have learned about how brains algorithms work. I’m still waiting to understand why pyramidal neurons were somehow groundbreaking. We found some neuron that fires when you walk to a place, why wouldn’t we find one?

And what are you saying about the fly connectome again? Do we have exact names for every neuron in the fly brain and its verified connectome for every neuron?

Last I checked the worm connectome has been available in intricate detail for decades and the scientists still haven’t had any proper decoding of the algorithms in that system. In fact I know every lab trying to figure that out now, I wrote proposals in the topic myself. Everyone else has apparently decided it’s not sexy enough to work with worms so they have just leaped to more complex systems with no basic understanding. I’m not the only one saying this. Sydney Brenner said as much in an editorial. But the field was too busy doing I don’t know what to listen.

Sydney, B. & Sejnowski, T. J. Understanding the human brain. Science 334, 567 (2011).

I remember sauntering to the occasional neuroscience talk during my ut southwestern PhD and occasionally hearing some professor brag about how the majority of one of their PhD’s jobs was to segmenting a single neuron in the thousand EM images or something. Surely that’s a sign this field needs revision?
>People have thought that doctors were after repeat business for as long as there have been doctors.

I'm sure there's always been cynicism. I'm less sure that this isn't yet another peak of cynicism, with the main difference being that that whole faux politeness is crumbling away. Companies can't even keep up that facade anymore like the various 90's "companies are evil" that has been satarized and parodied constantly.

I think the big difference between back than and now is that patents are extremely rampant in a bad way. I can't envision a Jonas Salk of modern times because so much of doctors (especially R&D) has become privatized and because any potential treatment (let alone cure) will be restricted for quite a while before the public (already dependent on insurance to pay for this) can benefit.
> "be a decent person and work hard"

It's 2023. This is a very controversial idea.
It seems like this used to be what the MSM would bring in experts to comment on complex issues in economics, foreign politics, history, health, science, technology, etc. before each station developed a significant bias due to top-down pressure from ownership or bottom up pressure to push narratives that paralleled the politics of their predominant viewership. Then it was public programming like NPR and PBS. But now almost every outlet finds partisan experts. It would be great if there were a truly neutral non-political source of expert commentary. But how can such an outlet sustain neutrality being subject to those same evolutionary pressures?

HN is honestly doing a great job of this, but is a very different format than planned programming.

Perhaps the key is to watch both sides and formulate your own opinion. Maybe it's better to know the biases outright than to rely on someone else to find neutral viewpoints. Of course the problem with that is, a huge amount of the population has no interest in hearing multiple perspectives, and only wants the 'home teams' talking points.
I'd feel more guilty adblocking Youtube if I was certain a fair share the advertising money was going to the creators producing the content. But from their own testimonies, Youtube keeps demonetizing videos for absurd reasons, or allows bad actors to file false copyright claims and outright steal their revenue.

It's gotten to the point where I've seen a couple creators give up on the Youtube monetization and go "I don't care, use Adblock, I make my money on sponsorships anyway". There's also been a rise in popularity of creator-owned platforms like Floatplane and Nebula.
People choose vegetarianism for different reasons, not only compassion for animals. Those that do it for animals but still drink milk could be unaware of how dairy operates, or they could be making an effort to be more humane than average, while under constant counter messaging from the food environment around them. It's a wide spectrum, vegetarians aren't a homogeneous group.
This seems obvious in the new social media.

Say something boring and true and don't get attention.

Say something counter culture, evocative but ultimately wrong (or atleast not durable as an idea). Get attention.

China suffers plunging foreign direct investment amid geopolitical tensions
> Jordan Peterson

Not quite what I expected... I wonder, what was his original experience-based hot take?
Why do you say that? Deep Learning was accelerating well before that (I would argue it has been accelerating for its entire existence).

AlexNet was a state-of-the-art image recognition net for a (relatively) brief amount of time. It wasn't the first CNN to use GPU acceleration, and it was quickly eclipsed in terms of ImageNet performance.

Regardless, I think bringing up AlexNet kinda invalidates your initial point. Although yes, it turns out that the two were a great match, CNNs and modern GPUs were clearly developed independently of each other, as evidenced by the many, many iterations of both before they were combined.
Many underdogs just copies the viewpoints of bigger channels, watching those is even worse than watching the original since at least the original had some thought behind it.
Jordan Peterson unfortunately is very much a public intellectual. He just also happens to be a complete and total charlatan who is demonstrably ignorant of most the works he both cites and criticizes.
You don’t really need to go in the millions to appreciate the complexity of a chip.

What exactly is the "abyss" you're referring to here?
Interestingly Apple's old PowerBooks had this. They had a very small internal lithium rechargeable battery. So you could close the lid(making the PowerBook go to sleep). Then you could swap the main battery without having to shut down the laptop. It could power itself off the internal battery (in sleep mode) for a few minutes.
Love the superelliptical table.
> The C in CNN isn't "Convolution" for no reason.

The first N in CNN is "Neural" for a reason.
Yeah but, one would think after spending even a couple of minutes with Jordan Peterson's corpus of output that maybe we shouldn't venerate people who happen to say one or two things that we find interesting.
> I have seen this becoming more and more common on open source projects and totally free services, where people act as if they are entitled to something as if it is their god given right. The people doing public services like uBlock origin can only take so much from the mob.

Perhaps, but David Graeber wasn't a Marxist. David Gaeber was an anarchist who was very sympathetic to/with ideas around direct democracy.
No one wrote like her. What an extraordinary gift to the world, were her writings.
If this is true, there is surely a way to present material honing that specific skill as a game or series of games that would generate more intrinsic interest from more kids than math does.

I don’t think the methods of thinking per se are why we teach math, though. Might be part of it, but if that’s all, I think we could do a lot better for a lot less effort for all concerned. I think it’s because the math itself is useful. If in fact the point were to teach methods of thinking, I doubt we’d teach it as we do math—why would we, when it generates such resistance and loathing from so many students?
Grabber was an anarchist, neither a communist nor Marxist.
Are you suggesting something like scientific journals like Nature? Where there is an extreme barrier to publish in and often takes years to get anything out?

Maybe you’ve pointed out a positive for these scientific journals.

Yes, that's precisely why I don't like him, thank you for articulating it so clearly! I want to compel the people around me to speak a certain way, and I have built an identity around that, and Peterson's cutting social commentary shakes me to my core.

</sarcasm>
Realistically where would you position these monitors? Ergonomically there aren't many great solutions for any extended use especially once you go up to mutiple large monitors. Tilt your head in those directions and see how long you maintain them comfortably. If you think modern notifications are less distracting I'll respectfully disagree.
Wireless charging wastes a lot of energy. I'm not sure of the exact figures but I recall around 50%. Not a huge deal, on a personal level, for a plugged in charger (although if everyone in the world starts doing this it'll be more of a problem).

However wireless charging from a battery pack is not ideal because the battery will have to be bigger. I already feel my phone is too big to be comfortable in my pocket, and I know it's even more of an issue for smaller people/women's clothing with tiny pockets.

It's an interesting idea though.

For a more nuanced viewpoint than "This is the tool I am most familiar with" (which for the most part is both the right answer for that person, but probably not for you), see the MDN articles starting at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Tools_and_tes... and reading down through the next few chapters.
If Vercel is working for the "impacted businesses" so much then why aren't they charging them for the hours worked entrenching their market position and busting their business model critics? Why send the bill for that time to him if it's not in ultimate service of him? He rightly sees through their incorrect billing stance. Seems like Vercel takes sides in every industry so you better hope your business has no impact on any other if you go with them.

We need little guys out there correcting the record of these "elusive content" publishers trying to claim exclusive access is all they offer when moments before it was available for free to anyone listening. He just proves they value bot access more than human audience. Maybe he does to, maybe he only wants bots to access his website. Vercel says no, only big business can get away with that freedom to choose one's audience makeup.
To fix that, we need humans that actually expect to live for tens of thousands of years.
I tend to be a bit repulsed by any online discussion of 'intellectuals'. Pretty much always devolves into BS a la GP. "You like Josh Joshson? He's stupid, you must be too", or "who needs intellectuals? Use your own brain"
It's not that we don't have a good understanding of linear algebra at all. It's that we don't understand how to make it simple. It's like a separate technological problem than actually building the theory itself.

I'm not the person you were originally replying to, but I have taken all the appropriate classes and still find the dual space to be mostly inappropriately motivated. There is a style of person for whom the motivation is simply "given V, we can generate V* and it's a vector space, therefore it's worth studying". But that is not, IMO, sufficient. A person the subject can't make sense of that understanding the alternative: not defining it, and discarding it, and ultimately why one approach was stolen over the others.

I think in 50 years we will look back on the way pure math was written today as a great tragedy of this age that is thankfully lost to time.
This is inevitable when you have to publish content at a weekly frequency.
