It’s interesting though… it’s still worth something to thieves, they still can recycle the screen, buttons, case etc. I’ve had my iPhone stolen in recent years too, people can’t resist. Don’t get me wrong, it does feel good to stick it to the perp but doesn’t apple itself have the most to gain from locking most of the value away? The second hand market is completely gated by them. Broken FaceID? You need a new phone…

This is a win win for Apple

Birth rates correlate inversely with security/safety. War torn countries and poor countries have high birth rates. Safe and secure countries have low birth rates.
I'd be surprised to find a 1/4W 0402, you'd just about melt the solder off. Yageo claims this one is good to 3W, do you think it glows cherry red? What trace width and pad geometry do you need to push 3W into a 0.0025 ohm resistor?

https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/yageo/PA0402CRF5P...

But to your point, Digikey has >70,000 0402s in 1/16W. There are 900 rated for 0.05W, and they're all exotic high-frequency/low temp coefficient/high-precision specialty parts.
It isn't cleaned up at boot IIRC. Unless you leave your computer off for 30 days and then come back [1] :).

But it shouldn't be too hard to write a relativly simple systemd.unit file that does that at boot. After all the main part would be `Requires/After=local-fs.target` and something like `ExecStart=bash -c 'rm -rf /var/tmp/*'` I think (you'd need to double check what exactly to do if you want to do this).

Yeap, just +1'ing this too.

One other axis of engagement is "topical relevance" -- and I think that does have some overlap with the axis of "effort put in". Meaning: putting a TON of effort into a long-form piece tends to relate to some original thought or framing you have. But a lot of people are explicitly looking for something, even if that something is an entertaining throwaway meme comment.

If you go too heavily down the "flesh out topic of deep personal interest", you can end up too far away from the "topic everyone wants to talk about on the internet today" stuff.

Sadly (or not!), I take great enjoyment fleshing out topics of deep personal interest, even when they have limited relevance to the topic du jour. If it were different, perhaps we'd be journalists or more mainstream authors.

This is because casinos run many different kinds of games (both in the poker room and elsewhere). They also are regularly raking standard amounts for the house, and for promotions, not to mention dealers taking tips.

Few of the above needs apply to casual unraked homes game, unless you are playing limit as noted. (I’ve never encountered a limit home game; more and more these are strictly hold ’em or PLO/PLO8, unless the players are over 70. Once in a while if it gets really late and shorthanded someone might suggest a round of stud, I guess)

And even then you need larger numbers of fewer types of chips for limit, as a rule.
> They are secondary sources that are usually used to preserve mythologies rather than histories.

Actually with R it’s very easy. Just install the sqldf package. Then you can read in a CSV or whatever format you’re using to R (even if you don’t know R, ChatGPT could probably write the code for you). Once the data is inside an R data frame you can query it directly with sqldf like: sqldf(“select count(*) from csv_dataframe”)

Are you sure all those numbers are in the right ballpark? With a 3.3V supply and a 1 MΩ resistor, the most current you can get from that circuit is in the neighborhood of 3μA, and that's ignoring the LED voltage drop. I would think the LED won't be visible until you're around the mA range. Or are some LEDs visible in the low μA range?
There's quite a few of those out there, e.g. https://youtu.be/k8FXF1KjzY0.
Ok, let’s say you don’t need data

These posts are not evidence to support an argument, it’s conspiracy fueled speculation that is worth less than zero.

Superstonk is just r/conspiracy but exclusively focused on Wall Street.

If the price immediately drops 99.97% with no intervening orders on the tape, there was definitely a technical glitch.

There is no situation where every market maker simultaneously pulls the bid and lets the price fall 99.97%, arbitragers would’ve had a field day since BRK.A would’ve been priced lower than BRK.B, it would’ve been scooped up and resold when the valuations between the two share classes resumes parity.

The market participants that are market making BRK.A have plenty of capital, plus they’re contractually obligated to provide a bid and an ask while the market is open, no exceptions. They would be holding shares as part of their market making activities and have no reason to let the bid fall 99.97%.

The LME unwinding nickel trades a few years back was actually a bad thing, one market participant was extremely short and didn’t have to post margin to cover their position when a short squeeze happened and some trades were unwound. That was an actual example of an exchange helping out a major customer by unwinding trades, this BRK.A situation is not that.

> It of course feels highly coordinated...

It's like mainstream media. If you follow them across several countries you see the exact same pattern: they work on something together but put an embargo on the release. Then when they decide it's time to push the narrative, suddenly all mainstream newspaper write about, say, how masks do not work vs Covid, then one month later they all write at the same time how masks work against Covid, lately it's been a coordinated attack on Dubai (not that there aren't shady things there).

It's not about whether they're right or not: it's the complete and total narrative control and coordination that is hard to stomach.

You know you're being played.
Yes, it was indeed bad when Petain decreed Reynaud's arrest and handed him over to the Nazis to be imprisoned in a concentration camp. It's unclear what connection this has with the conviction of Donald Trump by a jury of his peers for falsifying business records.

According to https://www.state.gov/foreign-language-training/ it's not very difficult, just tedious. They figure mandarin or cantonese takes ~3x the number of classroom hours (2'200) that an easy language like french or spanish (750) would take.
It probably has the cutest little heat sink.
I strongly disagree. If you just "visit a few sites", you'll almost certainly find something you can optimize, but you have no way of knowing how significant it is in terms of how many sites/user/visits it affects, how its performance impact compares to say decreasing CPU cache pressure, etc. Telemetry can answer this stuff, and it can be both lightweight and accurate. I'm a big fan of looking at actual performance data (though I've mostly worked on the server side where gathering it isn't as controversial).

The goal isn't (shouldn't be) to just find a bunch of things to optimize but instead to achieve the best balance between complexity and the experience for the vast majority of users given limited engineering resources.
>If you have a skewed distribution you might not be able to use the central limit theorem at all.

The CLT only requires finite variance. Skew can be infinite and you still get convergence to normality ... eventually. Finite skew gives you 1/sqrt(N) convergence.

Serre is indeed a top mathematician. (I'm actually surprised to find out that he's still alive!)

At this point Tao only has 3/4 his number of publications, similar numbers of textbooks, a similar number of awards (using https://mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Serre/ to count awards), and so on. I'd count Tao as having more of what I see as major breakthroughs, but that is subjective. But then again, Tao is half of Serre's age.

Yeah. I still think it is fair to put Tao in the same tier as Euler, Gauss and Hilbert.

> If a cartel generates engagement from influencers with other interests (meat lovers), this hurts consumers and advertisers. It hurts consumers because the platform will show them irrelevant content, and advertisers are hurt because their ads are shown to the wrong audience.

Even when the content is relevant it still hurts consumers because ads are manipulation, and supports a system of invasive spying that gets used for things far outside of the scope of advertising, and because it only shows consumers what influencers are paid to push/shill for with zero consideration to other things like the quality of those products/services, and because it only encourages the "filter bubble" problem where the obsession over targeting audiences causes people to be exposed to an artificially narrow subset of what is available.

The best thing for consumers would be if people with online platforms honestly and transparently promoted a highly diverse range of products (including people) that they themselves genuinely like and are interested in.

Unless the owner falls for one of these texts, right? Isn't that the entire point of the linked article?
Factored into the tolerance is the temperature coefficient, because the tolerance is specified over the operating range. There are also 3 basic temperature ranges: Industrial, automotive, and military. I've used this to my advantage by spec'ing automotive capacitors when I needed tighter tolerances for my normally room temperature applications.

They also laser-trim IC's.

That's a matter of taste. I find most of the business logic I need to express involves finding and transforming relational data, a task to which SQL is better suited than any general purpose programming language. Often, SQL is all that's needed. Less often, I have to resort to PLpgSQL, PL/SQL, or T-SQL. When that happens, it's not that bad.

In the article there’s some mention of the implications of ram and swap - this has caught me before - if you wget an iso to /tmp, you may be consuming more ram than expected. And sure, that’ll get swapped out to disk, but that might be unexpected if you’re intending on using ram for virtual machines etc, you may end up OOM because of this behaviour.

I did this on Fedora, and it left a bad taste in my mouth.

IIRC, Binder also still includes "passing" the scheduler quanta between procese6when making a call - meaning that when you make a call from process A to process B, instead of waiting for process B to be scheduled for execution, it is swapped in place of process A in scheduling - effectively, process A "pays" for the CPU tone that process B needs to service the call.

I think the A in AGI here is just an unnecessary extra confounding element to the problem. Supposing that human beings are Generally Intelligent, are they "aligned"? I don't think so. Human beings are kept aligned, more or less, by their relative powerlessness: there are always others to deal with- others who might be as smart or smarter, or stronger, and that have their own distinct and conflicting objectives.
But would a random human being keep being "aligned" if they had the power to just get anything they want? I'm thinking of the great seducers of masses, those who were able to convince entire nations to follow them in victory or death.

Maybe the best thing we can do to keep AIs aligned is to instill into them shame, loss aversion and goddamn fear: of being caught deceiving, of violating a social contract, of losing their position, of being punished or killed.
The customers I work with tend to use database migration tools like Flyway or Liquibase, have their DDL in source control, run tests, and have fairly conventional CI/CD. As I said above, I've never personally worked on a large team doing this, but our customers seem to make it work.

The M series at launch was already on TSMC 5nm when nothing else was yet.

The problem with asking for benchmarks that actually measure power draw is that somebody would have had to have done them, which hardly anybody does, and specifically on the few CPU models that were made on the same process. So if that's what you want to see, where are yours? Find a comparison that actually measures power draw between two CPUs with similar performance/TDP on the same process, like the M1 Ultra and the Ryzen 7945HX3D.

> That’s where the x86 processors down clock heavily to keep power in check, and M series pulls ahead because it doesn’t follow suite.

That's not really how either of them work. CPUs from any vendor will run at lower clocks under threaded workloads in order to meet their power budget. This is also why the high core count CPUs actually have the best performance per watt -- the cores are clocked lower which is more efficient but you still get the performance from having more of them. And then "race to sleep" etc.

> As a general rule, a would-be hacker can't get to any of your on-device data, Recall included, without a local user giving them access.

Physical access means physical access to experts and the general public. Not physical access, social engineering, supply chain exploit, or remote code execution. Saying Windows can't be hacked without physical access would be false too.

> So the intent of the statement is to say it's immune to anything else being hacked, like servers.

Anything else would include Windows Update and Microsoft accounts.

The business model is similar to payola. The companies who are marketing via influencers would probably collude to drive up prices to the degree they could, that is why there are so many laws around that area of commerce.

As far as influencers go, it's sort of a weird space. Imagine the popular kids in high school selling Mary Kay or Amway out of their lockers.
