If a few billionaires stopped sucking up all the money, we could sustain pretty much everyone without those compromises. But that's not gonna make shareholders happy.

But I find that even expensive items are not guaranteed to be of quality. As one example, take luxury cars with defects and horrible build quality from Tesla. The other day we had a whole thread about how bad sofas are today, even the expensive ones. In the service front, I've spent crazy amounts of money on doctors out of pocket after failing to get good answers from the health insurance folks (here it's different compared to the US) and got the same type of incompetence.

Selling mediocre products/services is simply more profitable.

Even if you spend the extra money, the incentive for luxury items is many times to still sell you similarly bad products/services and pocket the difference for even more profit. It's so frustrating.
> So if someone takes your house while you are away it is not legally squatting, but rather homebreaking and they will be evicted without even a trial.

At least in the US there have been cases where the squatter forged a lease and showed that to police that came to evict them. With the scant evidence the police would deem it a civil matter and you have to go to court. I'm not sure what the process is in Spain though.
Hard disagree. I very much like my terminals thin and "stupid" (sixels, clickable links, speed, and workable CJK font/IME support are about the non-standard features I really want), leaving all the navigation to something like tmux/zellij/screen.

There are other features a desktop terminal emulator can not give you. And being able to maintain all the shortcuts and muscle memory across devices, servers, X11/Wayland, different DEs, and inside nested VNC or SSH sessions, more than compensates for "impedance mismatch" (curious what you're actually referring to here... Just putting a line in my shellrc to start a new tmux session unless the TMUX env var is already set makes it mostly seamless and you could do the same in terminal emulator conf if you dislike putting such things in your shell or profile).

Unix philosophy: I want my graphical terminal emulator to render my sessions on my display. The stuff happening inside should mostly not be its concern.

> I shouldn't have to

Good thing you don't have to, then. For casual users, emulators like Kitty, xfce-terminal and Konsole exist and are quite popular. Yeah, a batteries-included terminal emulator sounds more appropriate for you and probably the majority. For "niche" users like sysadmins and many power users, tmux is the table-stakes. There's no one-size-fits-all and not everything has to be for everyone.

Sure, but using the law as a basis for oppression is straight out of the tyrants handbook.

To each their own, I guess. If a business is going to those lengths to support their product, I'd prefer to throw them a few bucks when I can.
This is apparently normal for magazines. I understand people wanting trashy fluff pieces, but I'm surprised people here do also.
I've read about this strategy and am giving it a shot this year.

If I understand it correctly, the reasoning is that until the late summer, the underground root system is putting its energy towards growing the stalks and leaves, so you _want_ it to grow as much as possible. If you trim daily, you'll never let it get into the rapid growth stage where it's really depleting its energy reserves. In other words if you trimmed daily or monthly til the end of time, eventually you'd kill the plant, but it might ironically die more quickly if you trimmed monthly.

It's a bummer knowing that it'll be hard to fully eradicate it given how widespread it is in the area (I'm also in Massachusetts), but I guess there aren't really any permanent victories in life when you think about it.
Once again: no.

The trajectory was suborbital, the perigee was inside earth so the actual trajectory would intersect the earth's surface, and the atmosphere first.
Yeah, it's mindblowing and seems reckless. Then again, they seem incredibly competent at everything they've done so far. It will certainly be a spectacle when/if they can pull it off!
The original idea was that since the systems you listed usually cost quite a bit of money to run, these would primarily be run in an enterprise context. I don't think I could afford hosting a managed kubernetes cluster and multiple decent servers in Amazon or Azure for personal use.

The Yubikey security argument is fair though, I will reconsider that.

The number of machines detection has been on my TODO list for a while, but it's a little bit tricky to implement with the current implementation.

"There is no official policy document of the entire political party, the last "official" one is from 2016."

The 2020 meeting decided not to adopt a new one. They are using the one from 2016. This is the official platform.

"and combined with the 80+ organizations they represent the entirety of the party."

Please stop saying untrue things. Please see the official platform.

Any yes, previous officials participate in writing policy documents for various political organizations... for both sides.
IIUC it's mostly that speed limits are set a little conservative relative to average road conditions.

The tongue-in-cheek way it was explained to me once was "the highway isn't 70 because you need that. It's 70 because the trucker driving sleep-deprived in a light rain who doesn't know his left tire is about to blow needs that."
This is super cool, it feels like going in the direction of the "deep"/high level type of semantic searching I've been waiting for. I like their examples of basically filtering documents for the "concept" of price increases, or even something as high level as a rhetorical question

I wonder how this compares to training/fine tuning a model on examples of rhetorical questions and asking it to find it in a given document. This is maybe faster/more accurate? Since it involves just looking at neural network activation, vs running it with input and having it generate an answer...?
I’m seeing a square favicon/app icon, not really an official company logo. Should there not be an option for the actual logo?
Nvidia is dominating with high prices; if you force them to lower their prices, wouldn't it make it even harder for the also-rans to compete? What you are asking for is simply to save money, but that is very different than antitrust issues.
It is not abuse, it is protection. You can pressure, bribe or blackmail people and force them to do things for you. If it is not possible to do what is asked there is also no need to ask. There is no need to take the job if there is not enough room to enrich yourself.

Like there is no need to rob a store if the clerk cant open the vault.
> Seems like at a minimum there might be some asset reuse (or recreation) that could violate copyright. And maybe a trade dress issue, creating confusion in the marketplace?

My understanding is that you can't copyright game mechanics, and you can't copyright an art style, so most game clones/rip-offs are not a violation.

However, it IS possible for it to be a copyright issue when a game is clearly an exact recreation/duplication of an original, in such a way that when placed side-by-side, they're nearly indistinguishable. There have been Tetris clones that have been successfully sued.

> Whether either of these (if actual avenues for redress) are worth the financial effort it'd take to pursue them? Given how much money indie games make, I doubt it.

Aye, there's the rub. Litigating is going to cost significantly more than anything that could possibly be gained.

Of course, the corrupt ruling bandits always enjoy a higher standard of living than their subjects. The same story in every anarchist and communist society.
This argument makes no sense considering the diversity of tastes and desires in the community. It’s incredibly difficult to put more people to work together and achieve superior results, especially if it’s something decentralized and voluntary. You can pretty well end up with more chaos and internal conflicts instead.

> Within a couple of years, every entrant in the ImageNet competition was using a neural network. By the mid-twenty-tens, neural networks trained on G.P.U.s were identifying images with ninety-six-per-cent accuracy, surpassing humans. Huang’s ten-year crusade to democratize supercomputing had succeeded. “The fact that they can solve computer vision, which is completely unstructured, leads to the question ‘What else can you teach it?’ ” Huang said to me.

> The answer seemed to be: everything. Huang concluded that neural networks would revolutionize society, and that he could use CUDA to corner the market on the necessary hardware. He announced that he was once again betting the company. “He sent out an e-mail on Friday evening saying everything is going to deep learning, and that we were no longer a graphics company,” Greg Estes, a vice-president at Nvidia, told me. “By Monday morning, we were an A.I. company. Literally, it was that fast.”

> Around the time Huang sent the e-mail, he approached Catanzaro, Nvidia’s leading A.I. researcher, with a thought experiment. “He told me to imagine he’d marched all eight thousand of Nvidia’s employees into the parking lot,” Catanzaro said. “Then he told me I was free to select anyone from the parking lot to join my team.”

Here's something I did to slightly improve things. Buy one of those timed switches that are usually for outdoor lighting and things like that, and use it to switch the fridge off automatically during periods you need quiet the most. Obviously not too much of the day, use good judgement. Fridges are only working (and whining) when the temperature inside rises above a certain amount. With the timer you can have a little influence over when that happens.

Pray for me as I am stuck in an apartment building with a regular 50hz hum for the foreseeable.
I did it very briefly as a teenager. It was fun to spend hundreds of hours struggle bussing at a game, trying super hard, still being mediocre, to suddenly having god-like powers and mowing everyone down. It wasn't about my ego or feeling superior, it was just mechanically fun in the same way it's fun in battlefield to be in a tank hunting down people on feet.
If they wanted to, Nvidia could pick winners and losers in AI by withholding GPUs. That would be using their power in one market to influence another market. I haven't seen much evidence of that though.

Journalism and nonprofit journalism are all struggling massively and anyone prospering right now is likely at the largesse of a filthy rich donor like Bezos. ProPublica runs no ads, they have a donate button, but there's no way it's sufficient to cover the amount of work they do which is substantial. I'm not sure who their benefactor(s) are but they definitely have an angel. NPR and affiliates are all laying off left and right. The Intercept is on death's door. Even on the obscenely commercial side, The Messenger burned through $70M in like 9 months and couldn't survive. Old stalwarts like Newsweek are now spammy content farms.

NY Times has done an incredible job becoming a total lifestyle brand selling news, cooking, games, etc. It's a very, very difficult model to copy. Axios and Politico sell high-priced "enterprise" subscriptions to deep-pocketed niche groups. It's tumultuous to say the least.
Yes, tin is a rare earth mineral. (In the sense that it is rare and mined from the earth. Not in the akshually technical sense.)

Prospecting and mining tin was a very serious and complicated business in the 20th century. (Maybe still is, I'm not up to date to current events.)

Copper, tin, gold, flint, jade - this isn't stuff that was just lying there on the ground for the taking. Mining it poses immense technical and social challenges even for today's mining industry.

High fidelity ear plugs? That's been my go-to for years to deal with loud environments because of this. Bonus being you can actually hear people talking better. I don't think I'm as severe as you are tho.
If you unpickle data someone else sends you, you’re playing with fire. I don’t see the risk in pickling your own data, say to cache it to disk, then reloading it later. An attacker could hack the store? If they have that access then all bets are already off.

I suppose if a remote store is involved then the attack would be easier: you don’t need to hack the server running my code, just the DB/KV-store/whatever storing the pickles. Is that a common use case though? It seems like JSON and other dedicated formats are vastly more common for serializing data across machine boundaries.
This would be an improvement for sure. The locals in my town are all familiar with the highway speed cameras now, so they just slam on their brakes before the camera and speed up again after. The is combined with the fact that they put these cameras right at a speed limit change from 65 down to 55. Driving that section of the highway is a cluster fuck.

This also doesn't really touch on the perverse incentives when implementing automated fines. Want to make a stop light intersection safer? Increase the yellow light time. It's been proven to work, over and over and over again. Sometimes we see cities shorten yellow lights, increasing accident risk in an effort to get more revenue.

We know we can better control driver speed through road design. That's been effectively demonstrated through studies. Yet our "solution" to speeding is to make the roads as straight and wide and clear as possible and then give you a fine for using them as they have clearly been designed.
In that case, then a linter warning seems more appropriate for pointer->int than requiring "unsafe". I feel "unsafe" should not be diluted to mean "unwise". But what do I know, I'm a C++ programmer...

When it’s super quiet I hear a constant high pitch sound and there is nothing I can do get rid of it.

But I don’t care about it. I wonder if I have a tinnitus or not.
I had tremendous problem with my landlord in Urbana about that; outside my apartment there was some electrical apparatus and the whine resonated throughout, but neither he nor his wife could hear it. I had to bring a couple of young neighbors to confirm that there was a noise and until this was done he really thought I had gone insane; the good thing was that after some adjustments by the electrician the noise stopped.
I used to play (a lot of) tf2 and back then it was always better to bootcamp into windows to play. There were much better ways to strip down / “game mode” windows (7?), control overclock and fans, and have bleeding edge graphics drivers, all to squeeze out a higher steady FPS on mid-2000s core 2 duo systems.

I think I made something akin to the Xbox operating system with my windows partition, which was basically TF2 OS

But I did get the earbuds with the Mac version too :)
I've seen them but there is absolutely no information at all. They don't sound like my own Tinnitus and they actually sound like a whistle. I know it is different for everyone but without a peer review this is pure marketing. Don't you believe the unnamed scientists would have published at least a preview with the release of the album? This would be groundbreaking work...
Open Science Grid Consortium
Do they though?

Another narrative is that AMD undercuts Nvidia prices because their product isn’t as good.

Worse, Intel then undercuts AMD pricing for video cards because theirs aren’t even as good as AMD’s.

When you get to antitrust, things like this are important. I may agree with you, but an Nvidia lawyer will take this tact and run with it.
As someone else on the thread hypothesized what seems like the likely explanation to me, is that the tinnitus is always there, but as your hearing degrades your brain adjusts the gain up to maintain equilibrium in a noisy environment but this amplifies the otherwise ambient noise of how your ear works into a noticeable signal.

I don’t think cauterization is the answer.
AI used to predict potential new antibiotics in groundbreaking study
Not so much an issue anymore, though. Want to build a tiny house? No problem. Multiple houses on a single lot? Go for it! These would have been unthinkable 10-20 years ago, but have been given the green light in more recent times. Council knows that they can't get away with ignoring housing any longer. Of course, it's easy to accept because they also know almost nobody is going to do it.
I think the issue here is the overloaded use of the term "structuring."

If I think I might be doing something that antitrust regulators won't like, so I hire a lawyer to tell me what I can do, and they tell me "you can buy up to 49.9% of this company," and I buy 49.9% of the company, that's fine. It's neither illegal nor unethical. It's also not "structuring" in the technical, financial sense, but a layman might say "you structured the deal to avoid falling afoul of regulation," even though it's the wrong use of the word. I think that's what's happening in this conversation (I have no idea about what MSFT actually did or didn't do, just the direction the conversation here is going).

I think it depends on what you’re looking for in journalism. I think America is divided into three groups: those who want news that only speaks to their political values, those who are just looking for the basic headlines, and those who want substantive news, but without the political or opinionated persuasion. I sense that the breakdown is that people are not getting one or the other from mainstream media.
The thing that tickles me is that it has to slow down to reach terminal velocity rather than the normal way of thinking about objects speeding up to reach terminal velocity.

The only thing I'll add is: do the simplest thing that can possibly work, but no simpler.

Don't back yourself into a corner. If a solution will block you from doing the right thing later, maybe some additional engineering may be needed after all to ensure you can continue to iterate. In large companies, inertia is enormous. Once a solution is in place and gets replicated, backtracking may become a herculean task.
