For 1, the data is based on guessing, so it’s zero surprise that self-perceived ability doesn’t correlate perfectly with actual ability. It would be extremely surprising and unbelievable if the slopes were the same, right?

For 2, the DK paper shows one thing, but the replication attempts have show this effect doesn’t even exist for very complex tasks, like being an engineer or lawyer. The DK effect doesn’t generalize, and doesn’t even measure exactly what it claims to measure, which is why we don’t need to speculate about the bizarro-DK reversal effect - we already have evidence that it doesn’t happen, and we already have a big enough problem with people mistakenly believing that DK showed an inverse correlation between confidence and competence, when they did no such thing.

To be honest, the best idea for most people is probably just any GPU that you can easily afford and then rent a big iron GPU.

There is almost no way you will make back the $5k for a 40GB+ ram card, so just save yourself all the hassle and go for something that ticks all the rest of your boxes.

Non-CUDA cards may be ok if you have very simple requirements, but I'd expect many hours of debugging if you want something that's not ready to go out of the box.

Good point! Have you had any experience with CrossOver? Does it tend to work better than Whisky?

Part of the nuance here is that although both can use GPT underneath, there's still a lot of config that needs to happen beforehand (e.g. different "sync" modes that impact not just visual fidelity, but whether the game will even launch at all). Does CrossOver take care of all that for you (with predefined pre-game profiles, perhaps) or do you still have to manually configure every title?

This feels like it would be useful as a general protocol. A signed app on your phone, can register some special endpoint into a registry that responds with if the user logged into the app is being called. Put some button in the phone interface for “Verify”, which pings all of these endpoints, and either shows a logo and a success message, or an unknown caller warning.

You wouldn’t want it to ping these services on every call, so it would have to be an action you just train people to do.

Better than hiding it in an app though, this should be an OS concern somehow.
> Given that we actually give kids massive amount of attention compared to historical standards ... calling current situation "degenerate" is absurd.

This seems to assume that ~all attention is positive and that attention is still beneficial after the Xth hour. After a time the adult role becomes less parent and more like prison guard duty.

It also seems to assume adult-time is enough for kids and that peer-only time isn't an irreplaceable environment for kids to develop their core social skills.
The entire overarching genre is often called speculative fiction, so your description of it is sort of accurate. Writing would be in a sorry state if the only stuff that got put out had to answer its own questions.
Might be that none of that really matters. Figure out what security goals you want to meet for your use case and take the necessary steps to get there.
ChromeOS uses an older kernel than even Debian Stable and RHEL. The older the kernel, the less the security risks. ChromeOS disables io_uring, which most (all?) other distros leave enabled. io_uring present a large attack surface. ChromeOS uses selinux and other containment technologies to contain the processes most vulnerable to adversarial input (namely, the browser and the media codecs). Fedora and RHEL use selinux, too, but there it is specialized in containing any internet services, e.g., a web server, that might be running on the machine: the browser and the media-file viewers (e.g., the PDF reader) are not constrained by selinux at all on Fedora and RHEL. This works fine for servers (which is Red Hat's bread and butter) but is almost useless for clients (devices used by end users). In contrast, the way selinux is used on ChromeOS is effective at securing a computer being used as an internet client.

It goes on and on. You should read the OP; it is really quite informative.

One thing that bothered me about this story for a long time was the fact that Google is pretty good at security, but Google allows its employees to use Linux on end-user devices. Then I realized that Google cannot trust its employees: with 40,000 software developers, Google must operate so as to be secure even if a few of those developers secretly hate Google and want it to fail or have been paid off or blackmailed into harming Google. The measures Google takes to protect against such employees (i.e., making sure that all code is reviewed by another developer before deployment, and making it so that a reviewer cannot choose which coders he reviews and vice-versa) naturally also protect against Linux running on the devices in front of the employees. (Even then Google is unsatisfied with the security of any of the publicly-available distros with the result that Google maintains its own internal Linux distro.)

I would look at Financial institutions’ IT groups. Lots of mediocre SQL query tinkering out there and having an experienced SQL person around can be gold.

It’s too bad that community interest/investment in efforts like GNUStep, Étoilé, and Cocotron have been low, because a major yet consistently underestimated component of why macOS has long had a thriving quality indieware scene is the depth, breadth, and quality of its frameworks. Cocoa/AppKit enables solo devs and small teams to punch well beyond their weight and I’m sure those devs would be happy to sell their programs to Linux users too if they could cross-compile.

>You think an advanced species would be surprised that we're made of what we consume?

The problem with advanced species we we have a sample size of one.

The problem with this sample size is it gives us no idea on the probabilities of intelligence looking anything like we think it does. In fact there is a non-zero probability that any intelligences we meet that cross space will have nothing to do with the host intelligences that created them. At least with our current knowledge of physics we don't see any way that digital 'life' could bootstrap itself. But currently us carbon based lifeforms are furiously cranking away at making thinking rocks that are built in factories. The fact that humans have a 4 billion long uninterrupted chain of molecular factories has nothing to do with other forms of life needing that at all.

Of course, if an AI kills another AI embodied AI is that much different from us killing a human and eating them?

From a quick search suggesting somewhat relevant results:

- Using AMD FSR 2 to upscale a 1280x720 render target to 1080p, and all graphic presets set to low they benchmarked ~42 FPS on M1 Pro and 47 FPS on M1 Max.

Around the same ish ballpark as with a GTX 700 series dedicated GPU, released 10 years ago. And around twice the performance of other integrated graphics of other modern CPUs.

Gonna have to disagree with you.

Here in Houston, a city with a medium cost-of-living, the cheapest house that you can get that's in livable condition and isn't outrageously far from where the jobs are is something like $300k. 20% of that is $60k.

For us techies or others with a Well-Paying Job™, saving $60k is not a big deal.

For pretty much everyone else, saving $60k is a huge feat, even after removing all unnecessary expenses. (Why should "they" have to ride the struggle bus when we techies can blow $18 on lattes and avo toast or whatever's hype these days while still hitting these savings goals?)

And when they finally do that 15 years later or whatever, they're competing against the Well-Paying Job™ folks who are rolling equity from the sale of their starter home and putting down all-cash offers.

By saying "people will need to get used to buying homes much later in life," what you're essentially proposing is class-redlining the poors (many of whom come from families that were historically-discriminated against home ownership, either directly or indirectly) out of home ownership. I'm going to assume that this isn't what you intended by writing that, but that's how it comes off.

Are firmly at odds. Over 99% of users will not have the ability or the desire to do this. Heck, I know exactly what you mean and how to do it, and I would never do it as it's a pain in the butt. I don't use a browser to mess around with its "conf" files. Either it does what I want or I can change it without leaving the app. Everything else is onerous.

>For one thing, this is usually what the peer review process, tests and QA team are there to fix.

The QA team are not your personal team of muckrakers. The more you treat them as such, the faster we burn out, because it's our job to say no, and saying no is a recipe for interpersonal disaster or attrition in an org, especially once management inevitably starts overriding the department consistently, regardless of the amount of risk that they end up taking on in spite of it.

I like the idea of SVCB, but I hate the idea of there being an RR for one specific other protocol (HTTPS). DNS and HTTP[S] are complicated enough without building cyclical dependencies between the two protocols. Less coupling is better.

However, they don't make a good case for how SVCB is need over SRV. SRV could be modified in a different spec instead.

The complaint should go to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (Chase’s primary regulator) + the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (their consumer regulator if you’re a non-business account) + the media, not to the branch manager. I doubt the branch manager has any control over this policy or any way to communicate your frustrations to anywhere with power to act on them.

That said, maybe they’ve fixed this since it happened to you: as of 2023, Chase’s Sapphire credit card department seems to be able to verify my transactions as legitimate or fraudulent and complete my live identification to a customer service representative without replicating your experience. They allow me to validate transactions by replying to email or SMS notifications which mention the specific transaction, and they can involve their mobile app in attempts to live verify my identity.

Fantastic news. This will help reduce the few people who cluelessly occupy plugs for longer than needed at hardly any benefit to themselves and at some cost (time cost) to others. And make people who foolishly bought low range cars “to save money” help pay for any impact their choice has on others.
> I do understand all the nuances

The reasons, in decreasing significance: (1) demand and (2) OS interfaces.

1. Linux desktop has a small user base; there's simply less interest and value in porting to Linux.

2. The POSIX interface is basic (well, more basic than Windows); it's easier to emulate/replace/shim Linux interfaces than Windows ones.

> Good point! Have you had any experience with CrossOver? Does it tend to work better than Whisky?

It certainly does. It has presets for most mainstream games and it uses the latest version of Wine.

The author of Whisky, in a move that can't be praised enough, has decided to not update further the version of CrossOver on which Whisky relies. This is so that Whisky does not become a free clone of CrossOver, given that CodeWeavers are the ones developing Wine. So, I'd say it is worth using CrossOver! They also have a free trial, so I'd give it a try and compare it with Whisky for a specific game, and see what runs better!

Since a few weeks I've been using the cheapest base model Mac Mini M2 which I got from a major german retailer for 650€ (all taxes included) brand-new. The gaming capabilities on 1080p are amazing and surprised me. I don't think there is any comparable WIntel machine for that price available (and within same form factor) with comparable gaming performance - mostly because available iGPUs are not powerful enough. I can see how that will change with the release of the new AMD Phoenix Desktop APUs, but we will have to wait if vendors bundle it into this slick, quiet, neat-looking machine that is the Mac Mini. Downside is of course, you have to mess with GPTK and Heroic/Whiskey, the UX is not nearly as slick as Steam+Proton on Linux.

I hope GPTK is just Apples first foray into gaming, they could release a trimmed-down version (less ports, no ethernet, no speaker) of a Mac Mini with a gaming focus and compete with PS5/Xbox on the price. But it needs better software UX for gaming just like Proton did for Linux.
