All his tests are published here: https://github.com/geerlingguy/top500-benchmark?tab=readme-o... He does test some N100 machines.

TL;DR: The M4 blows everything away, but isn't a general purpose machine. The N100 is slightly better than 50% of the power efficiency of the remainder. It's also slightly faster despite having less cores. Single core speed is looks to be twice the speed of ARM.

An N100 box with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of NVME is around the USD$200 mark, which is far cheaper than the Mac or Ampere, but in line with the other ARM options. It comes in more form factors with more customisability options than you can poke a pointed stick at.

All in all, it doesn't fair too badly. The low price, fast single core speed, and compatibility with everything makes up for a lot of sins.
6% of Americans don't have bank accounts. That rises to 23% of people who make less than $25k/year. See [1].

For cashing checks without an ID one way you could do it is via a third-party endorsement. Write on the back "Pay to the order of <trusted friend who does have ID>" and that trusted friend cashes it for for them and gives them the money.

My guess for getting a job is that (1) many of those without ID don't have jobs (e.g., members of a single income household who are not the income earner) or (2) have jobs that pay in cash and aren't on the record.

There might also be people who had ID but no longer do. I'm old enough that next year I start on Medicare, and next year or the year after I'll start collecting Social Security. Suppose in a few years I'm no longer able to drive and let my driver's license expire.

It's actually been a long time since I needed to show anyone my driver's license.

I do all my banking online. I do all my check cashing online (my bank has an excellent "deposit check by taking a photo" in their app). I could also deposit checks at the ATM. I expect I'll do all my interaction with the Social Security system and the Medicare system online. I expect to get a Medicare Advantage plan with Kaiser (my current health provider), which if they handle people on their Medicare Advantage plans the same way they handle people on their non-Medicare plans just requires that I have my Kaiser card. (Actually, they don't seem to actually even require the card--just that the patient knows their account number).

The most you can do for him is to take care of yourself so that you are the best version of yourself if he reaches out for help. In the meantime, staying in contact and having normal “how’s the weather” conversation is important, so that you are not talking about the serious stuff every time you talk, and so that he doesn’t feel like you are cut off from him. Lastly, Al-Anon is very helpful to folks who have loved ones with mental health issues, not just alcoholism, if I were you I would try that out as well. I have an uncountable number of people in my life who have benefited from various 12 step programs.

Ha, this reminds me of a very similar practice I used to engage in with a few buddies when we started work. It was always fun to try to figure out how to optimize the PTO to get the “most days per day”.

Nowadays, I find that the best time to take PTO is when I feel like taking PTO. Taking a long weekend when I’m feeling burnt out or disengaged goes much further for me than grinding for the entire first half of th year to get a week off for 4th of July. YMMV.
>Book fraudulent expenses for the hotel, making it look like it's spent a lot more money than it really has. No actual money changes hands anywhere.

As I understand the show, they were buying overpriced things from cartel-owned enterprises, and that step was getting the money laundered to the client.
My first thought was rather that they missed modern medicine, balanced diet and even basic kitchen utensils. Not some entertainment.

And I'm not even sure they truly wanted to live that way. I'm no psychologist, but it reads like they were severely traumatized by their religious zeal. While I respect their agency, I suspect their behavior was much less voluntary than they believed.

I don't know how I should feel about it, but I'm not glad they had to suffer, even if it was voluntary (or "voluntary"). It's so fucked up. The only thing I'm sure is that [unregulated] religion can sometimes be such a memetic cancer.

It's somewhat comparable to those modern-day homeless that are scraping by on the streets but refuse to do anything about it. (I don't really know what to make of those people either.)
This really reads like satire but feels like the author is actually being sincere. I’ve seen so many deadlocks happening due to pthread mutexes. Certainly way more than this syntactic corner case. It’s so common in fact that I saw a codebase that made their mutexes recursive to avoid having to think about it.
Apparently it takes a bit to understand that CPU temperature doesn't affect clock speed, though!
There's also "char", with quotes, as a special type. It's always 1 byte.

The other types have overhead. A single-byte bytea will actually use 2 bytes, char(1) will use at least that much, and bit(8) will use 7 bytes. Smallint is strictly better for representing small numbers.
This arrest is ridiculous: how is the head of the anti-money-laundering organization supposed to remain an expert in his field if he doesn't practice money laundering himself?

That would be selfish and terrible. The most productive farming in the USA is largely because of previous volcanic eruptions. Similarly the water cycle, subduction, earthquakes, floods, fires, and carbon cycle are what keeps soil healthy and allows for nutritious food.

If you remove all that you end up with MUCH more energy intensive agriculture and an economic incentive to cheap out.
I would try to find out if he has recently begun taking antidepressants. I began a regimen last year and had side effects which sound quite similar to this.

Sometimes they are like night a day for people in a good sense. Sometimes they invoke a sort of mania and cause an acute crisis, like it did for me. I eventually learned about ‘suicide crisis syndrome’ and evidently new antidepressant prescriptions are at least somewhat correlated with this state.

Highly intelligent people seem to carry around a mild form of depression called dysthymia, which he might have sought to address with drugs.

Good luck. These things are extremely difficult. I know I was at my absolute worst when I was struggling, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone (from my side or those who supported me).

that's possibly true. it wasn't in all of the books, but at least in the one where i stopped reading. and it was insignificant because it served no purpose in the plot. what bothered me was not the reference to sex but the fact that it made no sense in the story and that it was treated as something as casual as a handshake and it simply felt like it was the authors personal fantasy.

and if i may say so, i suspect that in general reference to sex is so common that many of us don't notice. it doesn't bother me but i simply don't care for it when it's not a significant plot element. i grew up without any exposure to this kind of theme.

That's a tough call, it's scary because of the surprising nature of it. My first encounter with this was a close friend I'd grown up with and who was also seemingly quite intelligent. He'd had one violent incident in the past involving weed that triggered some kind of psychotic episode that was waiting to happen, and then nothing for many years, until he started down this paranoid pseudo-science veganism and yoga cures all diseases, fasting, breatharianism type direction. Apparently there was more happening that I didn't see, started keeping weapons around, lots of psychedelics. In retrospect, he was almost certainly schizophrenic, ended up attacking someone during a psychotic episode and unfortunately his life ended early and dramatically. After that, some of the signals became harder to ignore, and noticed that another more distant acquaintance started repeating similar things as your friend, except on LinkedIn of all places. Many delusional, spiraling paranoid posts of grandeur (not in the typical weird way everyone does on that platform), describing the government coming to get him after he isolated in the countryside. I think he's fine, but reported him so his reach was limited.

Personally, I'd get out and try to at least temporarily part ways on good terms, not necessarily forever. Depends a lot on vibes. It's tough.

Without getting into the nitty gritty of trace back forensic accounting the added layer is akin to why people use proxy relay's in networking, diffusing cash outwards through layered shell companies makes the origin point(s) less visibly "hot".

The ideal here is to have many injection points that can be inflated to a degree that doesn't quite raise suspicion .. and fewer collection filters (fake plumbing businesses, etc) that each 'charge' several injection points for non existant work and pool money that's invoiced and trackable (from hotel to plumber).

Also, as noted by SilasX in a peer comment the books for the fake work can include higher than normal payments for "supplies" to cartel owned suppliers .. yet another (fake but) documented trail to explain income and profits.

As the pooled money grows larger it's increasingly better documented.

It's literally a full time occupation to generate a mountainous pyramid of a paper trail to "explain" a million or so a week.
The real root of the attitude should be "We don't accept transactions that would produce more than 20 USD in change." However the average person is an idiot so it's easier for them to just say they don't take 50s/100s. I guess arguably there's a greater incentive to try to use lesser bills to make larger ones, but that's what the watermarks and security strips are supposed to prevent.
> let the faster person learn something else tangentially related

If content someday emphasizes science as a richly interwoven tapestry, and heavily leverages implicit curriculum, this might become straightforward. The chemistry problem, that's also implicitly teaching cellular biology and supply chain dynamics, enables tangents on those too. The K-2 intro mittens, with tangents on thermal budgets, and spacesuit dexterity limitations, and winter camping clothing 101, and knitting how to, and so much more.

If OP regrets our handling of current curriculum, there's seemingly an enormous additional level of despair available, in education's profoundly impoverished opaque window into the beauty of the world.

I’ve been in a very similar situation and the advice I’d give myself back then is to seek psychological support for myself from the beginning, preferably a good therapist to help navigate this. It sounds like you’re making solid choices (and the same we made at the time) but you don’t control the outcome of this situation. It was the hardest thing I did in my life, best of luck to you.

No way. The compiler doesn't help you.

You're right. It makes way more sense when you compare it to Numpy.
I will say this though --

Japanese companies and organizations (and people) love diagrams to present to the public. Whether how to navigate a website, book a ticket, check-in to a hotel, etc. the number of process diagrams in daily life (as a perceived effective way of communicating information) is unseen outside Japan.

Also, the amount of highly detailed posters in public places. For example, the departures board of a train line -- far more information than probably the average US rider knows how to comprehend even. Or is interested in.

My measurement technique was extremely simplistic - how much wall clock time does it take to do this computationally-intensive task. It ran faster with ice water, and even faster with the liquid nitrogen (until it died from condensation).

I truly don’t understand why this anecdote seems to be offensive - but let me assure you, I’m claiming no scientific discovery or prodigious understanding of cpus here.

It was neat - computers, liquid nitrogen, color charts.. in the early 90s. That kind of shit got you scholarships back in the day.

You can just buy it at the appropriate gas supplier, my local university used to sell it. If your parent was a nerd or a welder it would be fairly easy, it can just be expensive getting an appropriately sized dewar if a thermos isn’t big enough for your usage (or if you can’t find someone willing to sell you only a thermosful, which is admittedly a little dangerous)
> Are you insane?

That's quite funny.
To elaborate a bit more this is a consequence of a overlapping of two design decisions:

1) temporaries being added "alongside" the item they appear in. This makes a tone of thing much much simpler, but comes back to bites us here.

2) "alongside" for match statement meaning alongside the whole statement (but for `if <cond> {` it's alongside the condition)

3) things being always dropped at the very end of the scope if not moved out from it earlier, which again makes things easier to understand in most cases.

both had been discussed a bunch around 1.0/early 1.x days and both are things which in most situations make it easier to write rust code (and for beginners potentially much easier)

but both have also drawbacks

like the not-that-common example in this blog

or e.g. in async where rust has to keep any values which impl Drop around across async await calls as it can't know if there is a side effect in Drop

In the past I personally had been a contender of allowing the compiler to drop value anywhere between the last time they have been referenced and the end of the scopes without any rules or stability about where exactly (i.e. if you need a guard to be kept around you need to be explicit about it).

But working more together with people of very varying skill levels in the last 5/6 years made me change my mind and agree that that would have been a terrible idea.

And having rules about guaranteed drops as early as possible seem initially easy but aren't due to things like conditional moves, partial moves etc. I.e. it would still be quite a bit more complicated to teach it.

Furthermore in both alternatives to 3) you likely still wouldn't (guaranteed) drop the guard temporary in the other match branch before you requesting the new guard as guaranteeing compiler behavior like that means having a lot of additional edges in many partial move scenarios and potentially even a bunch of additional branch. In both cases it would likely increase code size and mess with the branch predictor and I-caches and be generally just not good (but it would help with async await boundaries).

>Meteorology is based on physics,

Good start.

>meteorology doesn't have a hostile agent attempt counter prediction attempts

All chaotic systems have second-order reinforcing feedback loops by "tautological" definition of what a feedback loop is and what a sufficiently-complex system is.

>meteorology doesn't involve a constantly changing technological landscape,

it does, it just has little incentive/motive/order to change, because knowing the probability of it going to rain vs. the cost of it changing the weather is so uneconomically comically juxtapositioned that technology wasn't advanced enough
make any progress.

All phones being 5G'd into the weather apparatus would give certainty, but the pressure to do that collectively is not there.

>meteorology has access to vast amounts data whereas data that's key to military decisions is generally scarce - you know the phrase "fog of war"?

"Fog of war" is how it is perceived from outside. Inside, it is those who have a monopoly on viol/power/surv that ultimately wins.

and that is us.
I think there is a bias for perfectionism. This can be a good point and a bad point.

I remember being a junior engineer and spending time to really make my software good and my first review had a comment that I spent too much time adding "bells and whistles" (which was only partially true). So it gets drilled out of you in US software.

OpenAI by default includes transcripts in its training data. You have to explicitly opt out (and trust that the op out actually does anything).

This is the best answer.

The Beelink (and other mini-PC brands) offer comparable performance.

The fact they offer lots of different configurations lets you choose your own trade-offs.

Assuming you don't have an operating system preference, the base model Mac Mini is tough to beat outright, but as you upgrade it there are other options that get interesting.

Can you clarify: Does the full-text search for logs linearly search all logs like Loki does, or can it speed it up with an index?

The docs at https://www.hyperdx.io/docs/search don't seem to talk about this key design decision.

I have a couple 100 GB to few TB logs (all from `journald` or JSON lines), just want to store them forever, and find results fast when searching for arbitrary substrings.

Loki does not use an index, so it's pretty slow at finding results in TB-sized logs (does not return results within a few seconds, so it's not interactive).

https://quickwit.io is one thing I'm looking at integrating, that can solve much of the index-based log search.

(Note I'm not super familar with the capabilities of ClickHouse itself regarding indexed full-text search.)

Hmm, so it looks like the key parts are:

1. There's a known infectious fungus in soil, which people can inhale when dust is kicked up.

2. Some researchers believe that infecting mammals' lungs is be something it does regularly, rather than accidentally.

3. Changes in climate or land-use may mean more infectious dust. (e.g. dry reservoirs)
