1. This has many parallels with the concept of Resulting - our tendency to equate the quality of a decision with the quality of its outcome, which was conceptualised in the book Thinking in Bets by Annie Duke, which although a great work, I have to admit I did not finish.

2. Even though the element of chance is inherent to Bridge too, Duplicate Bridge is a clever attempt to nullify the role of luck in tournaments. The same hand is played in different tables (by different teams), and points are scored depending on how you fared in comparison to the other table. So, rather than playing to win, you play to do better than your counterpart in the other table.

It is a problem because all three come with a bagage. Almost none of the things discussed in this thread are invalid when discussing actual physical entropy even though the equations are superficially similar. And then there are lots of people being confidently wrong because they assume that it’s just one concept. It really is not.

It's complicated.

On Raptor lake, there are a few integrated voltage regulators to which provide new voltages for specialised uses (like the E core's L2 cache, parts of DDR memory IO, PCI-E IO), but the current draw on those regulators is pretty low. The bulk of the power comes directly from motherboard VRMs on one of several rails with no internal regulation. Most of the power draw is grouped onto just two rails, VccGT for the GPU, and VccCore (also known as VccIA in other generations) which powers all the P-cores, all the E-cores and, the ring bus and the last-level cache.

Which means all cores share the same voltage, and it's trivial to monitor externally.

I guess it's possible the bug could be with only of the integrated voltage regulators, but those seem to only power various IO devices, and I struggle to see how they could trigger this type of instability.

I hear many complaining (even here) about "the mess" of linux audio.

First, in the article, [1] shows in one single diagram where the complexity is coming from; the audio system has to handle a good deal of different hardware on many different systems and also provide extra functionality for multiplexing, network features, wireless headsets and their codecs, etc. All this: open source.

Second: linux is the only platform where everything works right now flawlessly for me: My Bose joins without any problems, switches to headset mode during zoom calls, switches back to high definition audio otherwise. I can select a different sink, even networked, whenever I want the output to appear on a different networked device. MacOS sometimes needs a reboot so that the bluetooth subsystem works, what the hell.

And all this worked with PulseAudio, and now works with Pipewire, which is an even higher quality iteration of PA.

I don't complain. I wish MacOS/Windows had such a versatile, configurable, but sanely-working-out-of-the-box audio system as an off-the-shelf Fedora, or even freaking Arch linux has.

HTH

This is positive for Google. Spending $23bn on a company of that size was insane. Shareholders are probably relieved.
Members of my family have serious health problems, and the company’s PPO plans cover medical treatments with world-class providers. It would probably be prohibitively expensive for us to purchase such a plan on the open market.

One thing I was found interesting about Dreamcast piracy was that everyone was burning them onto 700 MB CD-Rs. But the retail games were actually pressed onto 1GB GD-ROMs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GD-ROM

For a lot of games, it totally didn't matter (shoutout Ikaruga, 38 MBs! https://www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/2023/03/the-worlds-sm...)

But for games that took advantage of the extra 300 MBs, pirates had to use all these tricks to get the game down to a CD-R size. They'd compress assets, compress or sometimes rip out the FMVs...I think they might have even split some games across multiple CDs.

That's why DRM cracks me up, the pirates will always figure a way around it one way or the other. (Especially in today's day and age where the live service model is so effective. I'd weep for the AAA single-player game, but I can't remember the last one I played and enjoyed. They've been dead for a long time. Long live the indie single-player game.)

It's one of the greatest triumphs of early computing. Not only did it harmonize text representation and transmission in a backwards compatible manner; the fact that they deliberately kept it 7 bit for so long also helped for developing a sane set of other language character sets (ISO-8859), and paved the way for a smooth transition to Unicode (UTF-8) - which is now the dominant encoding worldwide.
Well, that also limits you to basically one style of looks. And that style is kind of hard to sustain, so if you don't really like it, it's a major PITA. Kinda surprised that Captain Picard wasn't mentioned though. He actually is a hero who is bald and not steroid-levels of jacked.
Result for higher income people is crazy. They used the additional cash to move to where they pay way more for rent and spent more on drugs to the detriment of health, child care and household spending.

It seems that more affluent are way more irresponsible with their money than poorer people.
The big advantage with Google Workspace/Outlook is its accompanying products - calendar, word/spreadsheet processing, cloud storage, etc. Problem with starting only email service won't make the cut, but starting with email + other services make the project way more complex. Not forgetting answering the question "how each product (i.e. word processing, cloud drive, etc.) is better than Google/Outlook's?"
I have been on several hiring panels in my current job and I always looked for people with non-tech skills. We had a coder who was twenty years in finance and then did a boot camp, she was better than many mids because she could talk to people and understand requirements better, had understandings of office policies, meeting etiquette, and was great at making relationships with other devs and building a network so when she didn't know something she knew exactly who to ask.

I'm sure down the road that time in finance will probably give her a leg up in finance related tech too. Non tech experience can definitely be a boon
Are we measuring work by time?

If you code for 100 hours a week, and I code for 40 hours a week, who's working more? We care about the productivity, not the hours worked.
It's pretty nice article but for me - just for introductory purposes. It shows how sound and digital audio works and what basic libraries and tools we have in linux to deal with sound. But I'm still stupid when it comes to details and user interface tools. The article(s) I really love to see is, on one hand, more technically detail-specific and, on the other hand, broadly defining options I can have as an end user. I mean - from basic tools (CLI, GUI) that are available for simple purposes like volume control, stream selection, etc. to pro-audio, complex scenarios. For me it's too many tools and options I can use in linux for audio and this is the reason for being lost sometime.
Of course for daily use I have pipewire with pulse, alsa and jack "plugins" which gives me seamless cooperation with lots of apps and controls but maybe I can get rid of some module or app...
What's interesting was not that he changed his mind, but that he adjusted his own understanding of falsification to accomodate new data rather than letting it falsify his framework.

If you keep reading, you that this led to Kuhn's criticism of Popper's approach, and his motion of scientific revolutions, which we see actually being practiced: particle dark matter has technically been falsified many times, but we didn't throw it out but instead revised it to accomodate new data. It is only when these sorts of revisions become less plausible compared to a totally different approach that science meaningfully progresses.
Right, already tried that; Last() is still slightly slower (I guess because of more layers of indirection).
I put in a word that I know would bring back at least 1,000 results that use that word precisely, and in its entirety.

It didn’t bring back a single one. I got a whole lot of results that had parts of that word, or looked similar to that word, but nothing with an exact match.

That word is not only a well-used German slang for a common vegetable (so, present in hundreds of online recipes), which is also used throughout the Middle East (food reviews and online menus), but it’s also a part of several company’s names (not related to the slang term) mainly because it’s also a German last name (online biographies and Wikipedia entries).

Clearly, this search engine has a long way to go before it comes close to being minimally functional.

I dont think money and getting ones needs met without work is an incentive for health or productivity. I think it is an incentive for the exact opposite.

Designers that change up the UI just to have something to do drive me nuts! And, now it's life threatening because cars now get updates every ~12 months where some designers have decided how to use the car changes. So, things you got used to suddenly change and you have to figure them out WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING!

I hope someone manages to sue over these changes when someone inevitably dies, so they'll be some pressure not to make them.

Or is it an ethical issue of what you do actually do, regardless of your wants?
> 60k is the average working income, not average adult income or human income.

It's close enough, that's for 240 million people. If I use Gross National Income I get a much higher number.

I'm not worried about children right this second.

> You are also casually applying a 20% hike, which for many people is their entire budget after taxes and housing.

Another 20%, minus 12 thousand dollars. That makes a big difference.

The median worker would pay significantly less than before.

And I already said progressive would be better. But a flat tax like that is very simple and would not be the end of the world.

> My effective rate is already >40%, and you are proposing another 20%. That would mean others are getting more of my salary than I am.

Are you taking the minus 12k into account? If so it sounds like you're making a lot more than the people you just described that can't find reasonable housing. You'll be fine.

> 12k seems an absurdity low number to provide universal shelter, Healthcare, food, security, and entertainment. My newspapers are full of stories on how 100k/yr isn't a living wage in California

The nice thing about having a guaranteed income is that you actually can move without massive risk.

Or you can adjust it based on location, idk, I'm going with the simple version first. If it only helps most people then that's enough to show the idea has merit. Nitpicking won't work!
Issue with this “benign” extension is that it will be using

“host_permissions”: “<all_urls>”

In its manifest means it can basically do anything on any webpage you visit, scrape data etc.

As an extension developer, no thanks. “Fun” pointless extensions like this that have no real utility, but funnily enough require broad permissions, are dangerous
Because the consequences of being wrong may be catastrophic for the future of humanity. The consequences of doing nothing are reduced profits.

It’s ok to err on the side of caution, because as you point out, we’re nowhere near being able to holistically understand these complex systems.

Yes, it would be better to completely understand the problem before digging in, but that’s not near term, but the destruction of this habitat is.

/u/kapitanjakc, are your friends in US or EU or APAC?

The market is reacting to global events, as we live in an uncertain time after a full and half decade of unprecendented innovation and prosperity. If I understood my parents correctly, this is just the economic cycle. However, the massive global scale pandemic, immediately followed by mass inflation, wars, rapid rise in living cost, anticipation of a massive generation retiring soon etc.. makes everything a bit slower to recover.

Also, due to money suddenly becoming expensive and eternal global downturn as well as political turmoil made businesses clamp down and make-do with whatever they have now until this storm has passed. It will take some time before demands will rise again. Until then, need to find something to continue, like working at a local business or that uncool startup which can't pay SV money and doesn't use the most fancy tech.

Also, there is lack of investment despite apparent(according to new media reportings I read) massive generational wealth transfer. Unlike PG/Elon era, people now use inheritance or windfall towards luxury(instagram) lifestyle instead of investing in ventures.

That all being said, I don't see a lot of problems in my corner of EU. While, my linkedin inbox has been unspammed since 3-6 months now, I haven't heard anything from my circle, except some of my friends looking slowly or taking that desired timeoff/break after their employer dissolved due to lack of funding/runway.

Your conclusion of ~3L of gasoline is right, but it looks like you dropped a few zeroes on the way there - your example of 1x1x1m sunk 10km below the surface would be sitting beneath 10,000,000kg of mass, not 10,000kg.

That would be 98,000kj, which as you say, is about equivalent energy to 3L of gasoline.

I'm getting 3-4 recruiter emails a week, which is much less than a few years ago. I've noticed an uptick recently. There certainly was a period where I didn't get any for weeks on end.

I'm a generalist with 25+ years experience. I'm on the more employable end but I can't command as much salary as a specialist.

I've been moving back into contract work though, which is different than the salary world.

tl;dr While it can have undesirable side effects, these are long-term. But these side effects make it a powerful nocebo for some people to the point where they almost instantly get side effects (nausea, anxiety, sexual dysfunction), despite that being pharmacologically improbable.

The big one for me was https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#can-i-b....
I had personal site on shared hosting with blog, microblog, "lifestream", photo gallery in the late 00s. It's been a 'placeholder' status for redevelopment since I think about 2011-12.

I got a job and started (over)working. Bugs/exploits in the PHP framework I was using took the site down a few times. Maintenance lagged, and I eventually zipped everything and shut it down.

I've found a better work life balance over the years, but just haven't connected the dots to ever doing something new with it. I think the last attempt foundered on picking a static site generator.

Most of my IRL friends and family barely use Facebook so I'm pretty sure few were ever very aware of what was on there.
For home backup, I have a similar setup with dedup, local+remote backups.

The ASCII table is defective; it is missing a dedicated code for newline.

CR and LF aren't dedicated, and have precise cursor movement meanings, rather than being a logical line ender.

There was a proposal in the 80s to reassigning the -otherwise useless- VT (vertical tab) character for the purpose. Unfortunately unfruitful.

Interesting. I use Apple Reminders in Kanban view to do that.
Interesting. I have the exact opposite experience. Being a Junior developper in france is hard right now. The profession got a lot of traction from the average french guy and not only nerds. In 2020 - 2022 Many training centers were teaching coding to people who were out of work because their industry was affected by covid (in France, studies are often free of charge and, in many cases, are even paid for by the government if you're working on your employability, so there's virtually no risk). This has led to an overload of junior developers on the market who aren't needed. I've given training courses for Dev-web-mobile and concepteur and I can tell you that out of 50 people, 5 have found a job. I also know a lot of masters students who want to find an alternance (work-study program) and can't find anything.
Meanwhile, I have 10 years' experience and am called 3 times a week by headhunters when I upload my updated CV to a job search platform.

I do agree that they want cheap people though. They rarely offer me more than 43k (which is ok in france in the region I live in but really not stunning either). I have friends that earn 70k-80k (really good in france) and they get called by headhunters for similar position but for 40k, its silly.
It's who came to my mind first.

Also, there's this gem:

At a press conference about Star Trek: The Next Generation, a reporter asked Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry about casting Patrick Stewart, commenting that "Surely by the 24th century, they would have found a cure for male pattern baldness." Gene Roddenberry had the perfect response.

"No, by the 24th century, no one will care."

Yeah you were not around when a kb of memory took up half your room. Looking back it doesn't make sense but at the time a byte was what-ever you wanted it to be. Considering number of characters in English language is 26, it is reasonable for a byte to be 5 bits, giving you a total of 32 possible states. Which leaves you with 6 values which could be used as control characters. how-ever lets not forget there are 7,164 other languages of the world, and they all have their own unique way of doing things.

Oh yeah, lets not forget that at the time you had other nationalistic countries/territories/people with their own superior technology all vying for the top position, all well trying to out do each other. Then you also had manipulative monopolies/trade embargo's and wars.

It isn't perfect but people aren't perfect.
A true cure would be a change in the way male baldness is perceived by society.

Maybe lower pay but you don't have to pay for healthcare there right?
Bye, bye, Porsche.
A cure for baldness is one of those holy grail drugs like a drug to treat obesity, or a drug to de-age your skin. The profit on this is potentially vast and Im assuming the 10 year patent limit wont apply to it.
Applies to other things like music too. Sometimes people are ahead of their time and most people can't digest it.
To clarify the comment made by another, they're not hating on immigrants neccesarily, modern Australia is built on immigration.

The sentiment is that right now things are tough and current immigration adds to current pressures.

See Graph 1.1: https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/population/overseas...

Australia has had steady net immigration for quite some time .. that fell in a hole during the pandemic and right now the net intake is much higher than it has ever been - it's the normal intake PLUS the backlog of everybody who didn;t come during lock down.

Australia has always coped with a steady level of intake, right now it's creaking under a much higher level than normal.
Years to cope? I fully accepted it, as my father and my grand father. Fighting against nature seems pointless to me.
