I recently bought an old Mac Pro 2013 (trashcan) with 12 cores/24 threads and 128 GB ECC RAM for my upgraded "always-on" machine - total cost $500. Installed Ubuntu 22.04, works out of the box (23.10 had some issues). Unfortunately it's hard/impossible to completely suspend/disable the two internal AMD Radeon GPUs to lower power consumption. I got it down to ~99W consumption when idle, when using "vgaswitcheroo" to suspend one of the GPUs (and it set the other one to D3hot state). My Intel NUC consumes almost nothing when idle (my UPS reports 0 W output while its running, even with 4 NVMe disks attached via a Thunderbolt enclosure). I don't want a 100W heat generator running 24x7, especially when I'm away from home, so will need to stick with the NUC...
I love the design still looks like early 2000s.
WTF? You can't post like that here, no matter how wrong someone is or you feel they are. Please don't do that again.

Did you make them or were these ones that you purchased?

Where were they sold?
Promises to non-entities aren’t promises anymore.
When you have ductwork in the attic your heating/cooling efficiency is hurt by the amount of heat lost through the roof and out into the environment. When the ductwork is all in interior walls, there's no efficiency lost because those losses go into the rooms the system was trying to heat/cool already.

Where I live, we have extreme ranges of temperature (both hot and cold) and almost all ductwork is on the interior for this reason. You'd be spending a fortune in the winter heating an attic when it's getting lost to -17C air temps outside...

It sounds like your attic needs more insulation.
That’s all fair, I’d delete my comment if I could.

> Dissecting a second-hand sentence is pointless. Without more context, we can't know what they meant or what they were trying to communicate or the value of their opinion.

Totally agree. Sharing the second-hand sentence out of context also makes little sense, no? That was the only point I intended to make, and I should have left out the sloppy economic comparison.
Yeah, that doesn't work.

Once you are in a PhD program you are locked in for 5+ years. It's almost as bad as the green card timeline.
I'm curious, how close to raw CCD data did you get from consumer cameras? It wouldn't surprise me if hard-wired camera internal postprocessing often almost immediately regularizes random noise, even with raw images and software postprocessing turned off. Just a wild-ass guess though.
> And the taxes is what government does, not you.

Because the role of the government (in theory) is to use these taxes for public utility services and projects. Companies only care about their owners and shareholders, a very small subset of the population. If you're not contributing to society, but just profiteering, you should retire. Especially if your position lead you to have a say to what succeed or not in the economy.
I really want to sign up and share a creation, but when I do either sign up or sign in, it gives me a firebase url that just redirects me to the app store. I can't find any way to sign up.

I'll click "Sign in to Downpour", it will bring me to a "Open link in App?" page, I press "Open", and then it brings me to a "Downpour -- make a game" page and I click open again which brings me to the app store. The app is installed on my phone.
Another thing happening is that phone calls to book appointments are sometimes being charged as televisits. I had service lines on one of my insurance EOBs with names of people I didn't recognize and the billing description was "phone support", or something like that.

Around here, doctors have been mostly forced to work for hospitals now, because IMO doctor practices can't afford malpractice insurance, clerical staff to deal with all the insurance paperwork, computer systems, and computer software licenses. There are also huge groups of specialty doctors working together to avoid having to work for hospitals. Here it's urology, dermatology, and gastroenterology. In my experience these doctor group operations are run even worse than the hospitals: they have a monopoly on their specialty and know it.
At heart, both tales are of youths inheriting the most powerful position/opportunity of their generation.

In one sense, the 'fantasy' being explored by the author in both cases is "how would you live, and what would drive your decisions, if that was you born into that position?".

It does seem natural for ideologically opposed authors to not love each others works. I daresay they were also capable of recognising some good.
Maybe you can't copyright gameplay, but you can still sue someone for infringement anyway, or even just threaten people with lawsuits that you know they can't afford to defend themselves against so they'll do whatever you want no matter what their rights are. The Times might even win in the courts if it ever gets that far. You can't copyright a musical genre either but that hasn't stopped successful lawsuits against musicians for exactly that (https://abovethelaw.com/2018/03/blurred-lines-can-you-copy-a...).

Blender uses an entirely different paradigm: vertex modelling. The only true geometric primitives in Blender are vertices, edges, and faces. When you insert a "sphere", you're actually running code to automatically generate vertices that approximate a sphere. There is no inherent "sphereness" to the resulting object. You have to decide how close an approximation you want up front, and if you get it wrong you might have to redo a lot of modelling. This is particularly tricky when it comes to constructive solid geometry (CSG), e.g. drilling a hole in that sphere by subtracting a cylinder from it. You might not have enough vertices to satisfactorily approximate the resulting object, and have to use various manual techniques to subdivide specific polygons in the right places.

CAD supports true curved surfaces. A sphere in CAD is a genuine sphere, and you can decide how accurately to render it independently of your modeling operations. CSG is a core technique in CAD modelling, with no special tricks needed to get good results.

To me, the CAD approach is more intuitive, but it's true that vertex modelling can be very fast when you don't need high precision, so I can see why artists like it.

This has a kind of silly sleight of hand I've unfortunately come to expect in psych research. This seems to try to study power while controlling for... power?

It can definitely be interesting to see how the personality one projects can influence the social dynamics of a peer group (with the usual caveats that studying people in laboratory conditions for something iterated and evolving like social relationships is famously fraught in the first place), but this notion of power as something that's given to people by social perception on a moment-to-moment basis seems ill-suited to describe the real world, where in many contexts the relevant power is official and considerably less up for social negotiation
This is a distinctly American way of thinking this whole “love” language and romance and enthusiasm. We do have a way of saying “wow” that is quite confusing to people outside of our culture. Especially us Slavs have an allergy to this.

However, the merit of what you’re saying - make their problem your problem - is absolutely on point. I would argue that for non-Americans it’s not as much about “love”, and more about raw necessity and need. We’re looking to build something that our targets find so useful that they feel enough enthusiasm that opening that meager wallet will feel better.

Unfortunately long-distance train rides in Australia are made unnecessarily expensive by our legacy infrastructure. We're an almost entirely "flat" country, but our train lines curve around on themselves constantly. The trips could be shorter and cheaper, but alas, nobody can afford to travel like this unless they're wealthy.

I can't comment on Amtrak too much, but I've heard it's fairly poorly run?
Maybe, in the context of smartphones as a whole. In the context of the App Store (which TFA is about), Apple is a gatekeeper and this is an instance of vendor-lockin. Technically not the same as a monopoly (because, as you mention, you can always use Android).

> In the US because we have constitutional freedom of speech.

In the UK we recently lost a lot of fundamental freedoms. Our current
Tory party are spiteful and corrupt.

> Unless you think the UK and Germany are authoritarian?

There are extremist authoritarians everywhere. That was my point in
the original post. And since they are essentially anti-democratic I
think it's fair to label them as traitors and "enemies within".

> Besides, there are things we cannot even criticise in this forum.

We know that. Ycombinator has owners and a clear agenda. The
punishment is being down-voted and made invisible. But there are ways
to challenge entrenched ideas here and drag difficult topics out into
the sunlight.

> What are the ideals?

Human rights. Particularly freedom of speech.

> Other than maintaining the European domination of the world?

I don't think it's fair to equate those things. I'm well aware of
historical hegemony, That torch passed to the USA in the last century.

> What? You sound like the morons that think we invade Iraq to bring
freedom and democracy.

Oh dear. I don't know where to start with all that. Iraq was an
offensive resource war waged by the US to secure oil, with the side
effect of toppling a disobedient puppet and assuaging the egos of two
second rate Western leaders. That's not even debatable now. But to
confuse that with the defeat of Nazism and Fascism in a world war in
which 80-100 million people died shows an astonishingly poor grasp of
history and politics.

Hi! This looks great. I am playing with SEC data at Embarc.com and found that ingesting the filings is no fun. Well, if it is xml, it is fine. But 8k filings are all HTML. Thankfully they have standard section names.

Anyhow, are you downloading the sec filings locally and processing them? It can be a lot of files! The EDGAR database has a lot of files in there. I download stuff daily, add to sqlite, and then process into various other things. I had to do some app side compression as the sqlite file gets big!

GPUs are bad with power. My RTX 3060 still consumes around 20W doing nothing, no display or real load whatsoever. More than the rest combined when idle. I wanted to sell the entire box, but made that machine on-demand (it's mostly off). It's also noisy for it's relatively powerful overall. Yes, NUCs are great for 24/7 and light/spiky loads.
I can’t even tell if I should apply Poe’s Law here.
Power looms were just putting skilled weavers out of work. AI is going to be used to decide if you can go to college or take out a loan, what kinds of culture are produced, provide mass-customized propaganda to everyone at the whim of anyone with a nickel's worth of AWS credits, and it goes on.

They're fundamentally different. I'm in IT and don't think there is much to be done about it "taking my job", but certainly we need to keep it out of the path of important society-defining decisions. It's important to separate these two things, and AFAICT the public debate about this -- such as it is -- is not.
(I'm seeing this quite late, my bad).

Let me rephrase this: the observation is the translator's; the analysis is mine.

Why would anyone chose to celebrate so highly such a childish behavior? That's preposterous. People weren't stupid. Teaching people to show respect to virtuous people, I barely see how over-engineered of an interpretation this is: it's basic common sense.
> According to the article it was because [...]

Not fully the truth, however -- according to APPLE, who are quoted in this one article. Tim Sweeny tweeted that the change was due to the EU DMA political proponents applying pressure to Apple.

The truth is not known, and it's not limited to Apple's side.
Funny how this is vision now. I started my career 29 years ago at a company that build exactly this, but based on oracle. The agents would run on Solaris, aix, vax vms, hpux, windows nt, iris, etc. Was also used to create an automated cicd pipeline to build all binaries on all these different systems.
This needs to be higher up. Apple didn't budge, or cave, and regulators did not get involved.

Epic could have avoided all this by just responding to Apple and signing the EU Addendum affirming they would stick to the laws. Instead they wanted to get into the news cycle.

There is a newer report: https://www.ic3.gov/Media/PDF/AnnualReport/2023_IC3Report.pd.... Figures are based on the FBI's tally of $12.5 billion in 2023 online scams.

Which means we're still in agreement.

> Seniority, bonuses, equity vesting, resume damage

Relatively minor. Most senior people I know who leave with bad blood end up with equally senior roles, and often "fail upwards" to even more senior roles in another company.

Bonuses/Vesting: Very common to get good vesting at a new company to make up for what you're losing. Of the people I know who've moved, it's the exception that didn't get decent replacement for vesting.

Resume damage: What? Person spent 4 years at a company and left. What resume damage? Your experience still counts.

Contrast with a PhD who leaves in the middle of a program: The years he spent are 0. Generally, the experience/knowledge accumulated is not factored into it when he applies elsewhere for a PhD - unless he has some fantastic publication.

Still, this is the good outcome - I've often seen students leave an advisor or school and succeed elsewhere. The real danger is when you get your PhD and the advisor will not write letters of recommendation. Unless you've made some really special connections, it means your academic career is over. You won't get a post doc. You won't get an academic position. You won't get into a national lab. And depending on your field, you won't get a research position in industry either.

In the industry, no boss has that power.

You’re right, they should just unquestioningly report on every latest shiny thing without talking about the negatives. That’s journalism, right?
They probably just needed some sort of counter-mass or some other similar element and figured they'd turn it into a PR thing. Similar to how New Horizons ended up carrying some remains of the person who discovered Pluto, or IIRC parts with names on Perseverance of people who worked on the rover.
The sensor contains decent entropy, assuming you're actually getting raw samples out of the sensor, and your sensor isn't being affected by EMF either in the air or via its power supply.

Noise reduction algorithms are going to affect the entropy if you can't get raw values, and the level of AI crap in cell phone cameras makes it even worse these days.

Yes. The question is whether that risk is worth the tradeoff of not being MIT-licensed. There are also paths to getting integrated into AWS marketplace we'll explore longer-term. I added some thoughts here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39646788.
As a former libertarian that is exactly the opposite of the libertarian ideal.

The libertarian ideal is a prodigiously litigious society where liability is the main driver of regulation.
