This. If you insist on being as cheap as possible, shoot for a 12gb card but be aware that you'll be missing out on the throughput of higher-end models. The 3060 is popular for this I think, but you'll probably want a better card with more CUDA cores to max out performance.

Cards like the A770 are awesome, but barely even support raster drivers on DirectX. Your best bang-for-buck options are going to be Nvidia-only for now, with a few competing AMD cards that have fast-tracked Pytorch support.
I agree with you, but I also find that in this particular essay, Deleuze manages to explain his ideas very clearly, making it easier to follow and understand without getting lost in his complex concepts.
Kurzgesagt recently uloaded a video on hypethetical interplantary weapons (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tybKnGZRwcU) which is the only reason I even know what the OMG particle is.

They described an "Ultra Relativistic Electron Beam" which theoretically could travel much closer to the speed of light than the OMG particle. I'm left wondering if the proximity to the pure speed of light has any bearing on total delivered energy when comparing different particles.

Absolutely. I have at least three stories from friends who witnessed these sort of events first hand, and so many of posts in the genre online affirm that its a regular occurence.

I've yet to hear of a case where there weren't backups for prod, but I'm sure those exist to.
Agree about pedantic. But “periodic table” for me implies some similarity.
I live in UAE, and everyone here has a pretty sophisticated government ID, linked to a smartphone app, that performs single sign-on for all government services. Your ID number is not especially secret.

Anyway, a frequent scam here is that someone calls you claiming to be the police or the government, and then generates a SSO request on your phone via trying to sign in to a government website using your EID number, and the request certainly adds a layer of seeming authenticity
Depends on your definition of "secure" of course.
No, Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android and ChromeOS are all much more secure.

>...i once had to maintain a codebase that dealt with a variety of data in 2d arrays. the previous author (over a decade prior) wasn't aware that you could simply myArray[x][y] to do lookups, instead they wrote nested loops for all indexes in each array, and would break the loop when the index matched the one they were looking for. they also didn't use helper functions, so this happened inline throughout the app
Most upvoted comment recommends AmazonBasics. Ouch.
Well tbh with you that's how I bank, and I agree with you.

I think that "app based" banking is a shitshow, and will only get
worse, and ultimately more insecure. The entire economic strategy of
dehumanisation is a catastrophe in the making.

And clearly there is no genuine market demand for it, people hate it
with a passion, but it's being forced on the population, probably for
other reasons more nefarious than "convenience" or "efficiency".

That said, if you're going to do telephone banking with another actual
human over an audio or AV channel - which is an acceptable mode of
interaction for me - then you may as well employ that information
stream for more sophisticated authentication as we go into the age of
AI deep-fake voices and video.

Because authentication doesn't need a terribly large bandwidth,
indeed we can do it with tiny amount, side-channels within the audio
stream see a good leverage point.
That's an incredibly misleading graph because it shows percentages, whereas the total energy consumption of China is growing like crazy.

I've bought some Anker cables in the past which worked as advertised. Also IKEA over here sells cheap but good quality USB cables (beside excellent LED bulbs), but whichever brand you choose, be careful of fakes and relabeled junk; It is quite easy to get scammed when buying online from non well known sellers on Aliexpress, Ebay or Amazon.
I don't have any problems with an Anker Powerline+ A-to-C cable, 0.5m.

My local city government also recently published a detailed interactive online GIS map of the city, including all lot boundaries, buried utilities, etc. It's great to feel like the public can easily access what is meant to be public record, rather than relying on for-profit third parties to make it available to us.

> Having been cheerfully awarded the sleuth-o-matic rank of Barely Conscious (the murderer was was clear, the precise weapon+time wasn’t) I was wondering: is the mystery generator implemented in such a way that there’s enough “metagaming cues” in the clues to allow someone clever to get a good score on ALL generated mysteries?

Well, the mystery generation is stochastic (where some of them will be more complex and difficult, while other ones are simpler) and the scoring is still under development (it usually very difficult to get a good score). Expect some changes in the near future to make the score more adaptative and fair.

> For context: my partner correctly solved today’s mystery seven clues earlier than I did, and she explained that her answer was based on the fact that that 1. In literature certain weapons are predominantly associated with killers of particular genders, and 2. Killers will try to minimize their time spent at crime scenes to reduce the risk of detection, so if the murderer was found there, it’s probable that the murder was recent.

> I was suitably impressed, but I’d be curious to know if human psychology and behavior patterns in literature are actually taken into account for the mysteries.

Assumption 1 is incorrect, all the weapons are randomly assigned so it was a lucky guess (however, it is an interesting one to make, so I will think about it to include it in the future..). Assumption 2 is .. actually correct. The mystery generation has a "minimization" procedure, where the actual input (the action from every agent) are reduced while keeping the murder mystery. This will indirectly, tend to make this assumption true.

Thanks for your feedback, it was really interesting.

Maybe I am just lucky but I don’t need a lot from my usb c cables and have not had issues. The minimum requirements for a c-c cable according to the standard is USB 2.0 data and 3A/60W fast charging. Every cable I have bought has preformed at least to that standard so usb c has treated me well.

It is faster!

We needed a low latency, on premise solution that we can run on edge nodes with sane defaults that anyone in the team can whim in a sec. Also worth noting is that our use case is end to end retrieval of usually few hundred to few thousand chunks of text (for example in Kagi Assistant research mode) that need to be processed once at run time with minimal latency.

Result is this. We periodically benchmark the performance of different embeddings to ensure best defaults:

Given how unbelievably awful the NH court system’s online filing system was to use (“Turbo Court”), fax would be an incredible improvement. Fill out form on paper, dial number, push send—a UX proven over decades. I think the shock value here is supposed to be “fax machines?! who has those?!” Most of them are virtual now anyway, so it’s not really as big a deal.
Yes it would be a favor, assuming there is enough demand that the bank can then use the money from the 2% mortgage to issue a 7% mortgage or another >2% mortgage. Otherwise probably no.
Odd, since it’s common knowledge that many carplay devices dont work with anything but apple “original” cables, mine included.
To be honest I tried to go the federated universe route and I just could not get past the federated gates before I found a home. I tried to join a beehaw instance and got denied access for some reason. Felt like an orphan ever since, especially since google reddit seems to be the only way to get good answers out of Google. I hope it does get more user friendly as there are people of all expertise that may not even be able to get into a federated group.

The macs I support in my private circle run very well without an antivirus. It is anecdata of course but about 15 years of it for several "lambda" users.
Meh! From the article "In macOS, all applications require user consent before accessing sensitive data"." Well and once given have access to all "Files and folders Note: Includes: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, network volumes, and removable volumes", absolutely in a same way as in Linux.
Additionally when installing packets in Linux I would say you give permissions by answering 'yes' to apt/dnf. Such small nuances between MacOS and Linux are not important. Additionally author ignores the fact SELinux may provide protection from accessing random files by random app.

Someone found out they could write a stored procedure that produces XML.

Then they found that you could nest them in one larger query and each could independently return its own node in the XML, cool right?

Then they found out you could correlate the queries, making it oh so easy to extend and build out!

Then they built an entire insurance business on the gigabytes of XML they crapped out every day, which based on their business processes needed to get sent out once a day.

The process took more time, but it was ok, they had plenty of hours to spare in the day.

People kept adding though, feature requests kept coming in, and tech debt came piling in.

A few years later, they called me because their process had started failing, it was taking over 24 hours on the biggest EC2 instance they could afford, and of course this was a single instance commercial database.

I took a look and it was the worst pile of nested SQL I had ever seen, over 300k LOC of pure XML/SQL hell all nested together, the query plan broke the client - over 100MB.

I told them there was nothing I could do, they should _start over_.
Well… I mean, if you consider iOS an operating system, “so secure it doesn’t antivirus” is true for 99.9% of people.

I have personally never used antivirus on Mac. I’ve scanned once or twice with Malwarebytes when something weird was occurring but there was never anything.
> just extremely weird protocol design

Its not really weird if you look at it in context.

People who are not Gen-Z whipper-snappers will recall the era.

Before cell phones, before DECT home phones, before wireless cordless home phones you had fixed phones.

You had a master socket and then, optionally, one or more secondary sockets (depending where you lived, you were either permitted to install these secondary sockets yourself, or you had to call in the telco to do it).

Anyway, so what would happen is that your friend from school would call you up. Inevitably your parent would answer the phone because they were, for example, in the kitchen cooking your dinner.

There would then be a shout across the house "Bobby its Johnny ... AGAIN !".

The call-transfer process would involve your parent hanging up and you picking up the nearest secondary handset.

Hence the exchange needed to keep the A-end of the call live whilst you completed the B-end "transfer".

The same generation of people will also recall the ability to abuse the mechanism to quietly spy on someone else using the phone. :)
Interestingly (considering how highly I rate their brand overall) I've bought Anker cables that did not work as advertised and could not carry their claimed current to charge my MacBook Pro. Based on the reviews, this seems to affect a minority of customers, so I seem to have been among the unlucky ones. I've gone back to buying the absurdly expensive Apple cables due to this issue.
The growth that matters is per capita. That also removes the incentive to indeed "just add more people" to show GDP growth.

Essentially, the UK is currently using immigration to prop up overall GDP figures and mask that the economy is at best stagnating, but more likely in decline per capita (I.e. People are getting individually poorer)

Indeed. But a half way decent PC running halfway efficient software can generally easily process datasets with millions of rows. It is only when you get into billions of rows that you really need to start worrying about scaling.
They don't have to put it into a 7% mortgage, they can put it into a 4.6% 30 year t-bill, or something in between.

From a leadership point of view all it takes is someone at the top saying this will be done. Making Supercharger monitoring and maintenance a priority. As opposed to MBAs seeing it as a cost center to cut against.
4. When one animal devours another in a cruel way we couldn’t imagine, no action. It’s *natural* nature, human has no right to intervene.

Hrm, I disagree. I think a functional language is a difficult transition, but the transition is worth it. If you want to be able to do things idiomatically in Nix and understand what you’re doing, there is a learning curve. It’s not a higher learning curve than a computer science bachelor will allow you to push past, but many people don’t have that background either. Quality training materials bridge that gap. If Rust and Haskell can do it, Nix can too.
No, but there are many sources of emissions related to the sprawl of car-centric culture.

The connection with flying is just how much emissions can be attributed to one passenger in a plane compared to an equivalent drive. When you fly you're trading more emissions for speed and convenience in your travels. The classic quoted stat is that a single flight is worth about a year of driving at today's averages.
What would be the analogous USB C “original” cable that definitely works?
I’ll definitely give that a try
Sometimes things are secure for no particular reason. Something might not do the things you think are important for security but that does not mean that that thing is insecure. There are almost an infinite number of things you can do in the name of security. The failure to do those thing is not evidence of a problem.

So if you want to show that Linux is insecure you have to directly show that it is.

Advice for Writing LaTeX Documents
Yeah, I don't see how windows or mac could ever be considered secure when you can't turn off telemetry and when the systems are closed source and cannot be publicly audited. Linux lets you be as secure as you need to be. The military for example in extreme cases will compile their own hardened version of linux and run it on a custom hardened FPGA soft core. Having that option makes it an actual engineering tool for security vs. a toy imo.
That anything is not completely secure is a truism.

In what way? Compared to what?

Linux is not as secure as some research-level operating systems, but that comparison is not very useful for most people. Among mainstream operating systems, Linux contains comparably few surprises.

There's also the fact that, like with much of open source, when the developer's interest align with yours the tools get more effective. Contrary to what you read on the Internet, most actors in the Linux ecosystem take security seriously.

That the article references Spengler and Micay says a lot. That's like referencing the UNIX Hater's Handbook. That handbook was mostly right, but also not very practical. But over time it has done more for unix than most other texts, because it was mostly read by unix developers. The situation with these guys is mostly the same. A lot of the ideas voiced by them has been the basis for new features, just not in the form they were made originally.
Android and chromeos are Linux based, so it's very interesting that 2 of your 4 most secure operating systems are linux.

But this is a perfect example of how the premise itself is fundemntally clickbait. The problem of insecurity is unrelated to Linux, but the execution and privilege model of userspace.

They compare them because Haskell is probably the most famous language with a function currying syntax.

Yes, they did the bank a huge favour. But likely they didn't have a choice, ~75% of mortgages are non-transferable, and they cannot hold the mortgage without the collateral of the house.

But if they were part of the ~25% of mortgage holders with transferable or assignable mortgages they had other options.

To our best understanding, particles of such high energy do not originate in our own galaxy. We don't have a good understanding of what exact process might be putting this much energy into a single particle, but the commonly accepted acceleration mechanisms of, eg., supernovae don't reach anywhere near these energies.

Elon's ability to find willing sources of capital for his ventures seems nothing short of incredible. He has clearly deservedly earned a reputation for delivering, but some projects seem tangential and lacking his attention, and they are fully funded nevertheless. He really sets the bar high for being a mover.

That's not to avoid discussing the animal welfare concerns that merit attention, though. One can only speculate what's going on in the man's head at any given point, but I wonder where the truth lies in his pressuring for results.

In any case, it reminds me of the story from the KingKiller Chronicles of the member of the Amyr who killed tens of thousands of peasants in unethical medical experiments hundreds of years before the story of Kvolthe. Kvolthe reflects on the balances of lives saved with the medical knowledge gained, systemetized, and shared through those medical experiments, the balance being -to his estimate- positive.

Cider was the name of a commercial port of Wine to Mac by a company called Transgaming.
The work is impressive, but I don't see a future where anyone manages to stay ahead of Apple and emulates macOS. Wine has decades of work, tons of support from companies with a vested interest in its success, and a clear need (running Windows games on Linux and Mac, running Office et al. on Linux). I am an inveterate macOS user and I don't see any benefit to a project like this for Linux. Who wants the very high quality third-party software made for the Mac, but not the OS? There's way too few people with this werid mindset to make a project of this scope viable.
I think that might fall under
