1997 was also a great time to be a Celeron owner; IIRC all you had to do was to cover one contact on the "cartridge" with nail polish, and you could trivially overclock it beyond what the much more expensive Pentium II achieved OOB. Easily kept the rig good enough for many hits that followed: StarCraft, Settlers 3, HoMM3, WA, heck even The Sims was playable.
It was a combination of issues. Intel needed to be able to supply quite high voltages (at the right moments) to reach high enough clock speeds to win benchmarks with their desktop CPUs, so they couldn't implement a simple conservative, safe cap on the maximum voltage that would be requested. Their attempts to build an on-die voltage regulator (DLVR) repeatedly failed, leaving Intel relying exclusively on a different voltage regulator mechanism than they'd originally planned for. And then they seemingly did a sloppy rush job of characterizing how the chip behaved with their fallback voltage regulator strategy, and messed up the code controlling that system.

There were many steps at which Intel could have avoided this outcome, but it started from the fact that Intel had to push voltages and clocks beyond reasonable limits to make up for having a microarchitecture with poor enough performance per clock that Intel needed to hit 6+ GHz to be competitive.

At least if you use the Free Software Foundation's definition of free software, one requirement is access to the unobfuscated source code. If every copy of a free-as-in-speech program binary's source code were deleted from existence by a god then the program would become proprietary.

I would say that every image using a proprietary file format is proprietary. If the creator of such an image intends for the image to be otherwise free as in speech (any receiver can inspect, modify, redistribute with and without modification for any purpose), then the image can be made free if the image creator converts the image to a free format.
An Adventure in Victorian Printing
20 years ago, a friend of mine participated to the renovation of an old chapel somewhere in the south of France. The initial plan was to clean it up and make it all nice and stone-colored, as churches should be, but the first scrubbings revealed lots of pigment traces, enough to get a good idea of what it looked like originally. The sky was deep blue, the saints had skin color and red lips, etc.

The project took a complicated turn because some of the stakeholders wanted the chapel to look like a serious chapel while others wanted it to look "original".

The "original" camp prevailed but it was an uphill battle.

One thing I've always wondered about products like this: how is the portability between platforms?

For example, if double.finance shuts down, are there other platforms that I can transfer my assets to inkind that will maintain the index fund tracking for me moving forward? I realize I can use ACATS to transfer the assets, but I want index tracking as well.
Idea about jury trial is to give people say over how they want their laws enforced and spreading accountability around.

With jury, you can't blame a single person for the result you didn't like. It was your neighbors that decided. And, at the same time, laws get continuously tested. Every time a jury is called, it's like a small section of society (randomly chosen, and later pruned by criteria) gathering verifying if it still makes sense.

As for the facts. While they are very important, law is also about morality. And while facts remain, morality changes all the time.

And regarding Europe. Some of the sentences handed by judges here, are so horrendous, that I would take american style jury over them any day. Especially when it comes to violent crime.

"The operating system is another concept that is curious. Operating systems are dauntingly complex and totally unnecessary. It’s a brilliant thing that Bill Gates has done in selling the world on the notion of operating systems. It’s probably the greatest con game the world has ever seen...
An operating system does absolutely nothing for you. As long as you had something—a subroutine called disk driver, a subroutine called some kind of communication support, in the modern world, it doesn’t do anything else."

> Before accounting for taxes and transfers, the U.S. ranked 10th in income inequality; among the countries with more unequal income distributions were France, the U.K. and Ireland. But after taking taxes and transfers into account, the U.S. had the second-highest level of inequality, behind only Chile. (Mexico and Brazil had higher after-tax/transfer Gini scores, but no “before” scores with which to compare them; including them would push the U.S. down to fourth place.)

True, let me revise. The majority of "shootings" are suicides, which can be carried out in all manner of ways. The second largest contributors are gangs and organized crime. The smallest, by far, is what people actually picture in their mind when they hear "mass shooting".

Great example!

Should you represent the `i` as an int or should you represent it as a double?

Depends on what you do with it!

Say that the body of the loop is just `foo(i)` and you don't know what `foo` is at compile time. Whether it's better for `i` to be an int or a double depends on what `foo` does:

- If `foo` uses `i` as an array index, then you absolutely want `i` to be an int.

- If `foo` uses `i` for float math (say, multiplies it by 1.5), then you absolutely want `i` to be a double.

- If `foo` does a mix of those two things, then who knows. It depends on what happens more.

So, even in your simple example, it's not obvious what types to use when compiling JavaScript.

It's basically every day a big bank is getting fined as the "cost of doing business" and often for things like laundering money etc..

The common trait that all hypothetical high-fidelity simulated universes possess is the ability to produce high-fidelity simulated universes. And since our current world does not possess this ability, it would mean that either humans are in the real universe, and therefore simulated universes have not yet been created, or that humans are the last in a very long chain of simulated universes, an observation that makes the simulation hypothesis seem less probable.
100% this. I've seen stats saying 20% of people in jail have untreated mental illness. I've spent a lot of time in jails and I would say it has be 80%+ because a lot of people can function enough to live in society and hide their symptoms until the point where they do something criminal.

I'd say the HN public is the bubble there. Lot of aspiring CEO who take the "don't care with rules if you can get away with it" message to heart so they feel like they have more in common with the victim than with the perpetrator of this murder. While I would not be surprised if it is the reverse for 90% of the USA population.
> Where are you going to find a jury where nobody on it has the same grudge for more or less the same reasons?

Jurors are screened for bias, likely questions from the prosecutors will include, "Have you ever been denied a medical insurance claim?" Those who answer yes will definitely not make the jury. Lots of people can answer with a "no" quite truthfully, myself included.

(Note also that I am not making a comment on whether or not I approve of how juries are selected, this is simply how it works.)

The US doesn't have universal public healthcare because it is a country of 350M people and would probably be a disaster. Significantly smaller countries (UK/Canada) have major issues with their systems with a fraction of the population.
A king in a monarchy generally has absolute power to enforce his will. A rich person living in a society of laws does not.
The "libs" who lobbied for so-called universal healthcare? They further empowered these corporations and now they want to get rid of them. The libs owned themselves on this topic, obviously.

> Michel Pastoureau’s book on blue begins by highlighting the neglect this colour faced among the ancient Greeks and Romans, who rarely wrote about it or used it. He even explores the intriguing question of whether ancient peoples could perceive blue at all!

The first synthetic pigment was calcium copper silicate or Egyptian Blue [1], so called because the Egyptians manufactured it from at least the fourth millennium BC; from the Egyptians, the rest of the Mediterranean learned to make and use this artificial pigment, so that it is widely attested in art from the Minoans, Mycenaeans, Greeks (if distinguishable from the Mycenaeans), Romans, and so forth up until the middle ages. Given that Egyptian Blue is a synthetic pigment that must be manufactured by human skill and ingenuity, it boggles the mind that people keep falling for this idea that ancient peoples could not perceive blue. I have no idea how someone could write a book suggesting that ancient people did not write about (Plato certainly did) or use a color that they in fact synthesized, manufactured, and used in art. The ancient Greek word for the color is κυανοῦς, the Latin caeruleus (but of the eyes, caesius).

Its true, check the link and look at the metabolic pathway. insulin is a response to glycogen from the fructose 6 phosphate formed during glucose metabolism. since fructose converts to fructose 1 phosphate form no glycogen is released and so no insulin is required to uptake fructose.

Anyway, apparently HFCS contains about 50% glucose so it would require insulin, but less than pure glucose.

Reducing friction between product managers and designers
our eyes invent colors that aren’t even there “physically” in tbe true sense of the word. and colours are even cultural, so there is a lot of leeway with what a colour even is. even in genders there are differences in cultural colour perception.

non-spectral colours are very real: greyscale, pink, brown, and purple which are mixes of multiple wavelengths of light

then you have things like:

* green is blue (japan/china)

* homer’s wine dark sea

* colour word development which has some near-universal linguistic phenomenon where the start is light and dark words, then red, and there’s a list on and on.

Other way around. A lot of things are rotting our brains, and doom scrolling is one of the results. There's a positive feedback loop, probably, but we were rotting our brains long before doomscrolling.

Neil Postman's 1985 book "Amusing Ourselves To Death" describes a similar phenomenon with TV and radio. And that was before cable news brought us "doom-viewing" with the first Iraq War and 9/11, where people felt compelled to tune in continuously for updates. Even between crises, people watch news for enjoyment, usually to be told about all the terrible things happening.
That's... not what I meant. It is one thing to earn (very) good wages and entirely another thing to optimise the whole healthcare for profit. Healthcare is, by definition, a cost center. If you wanted to align incentives (a bit better) you would be paying for it only when you are not ill, not when you are. A decent compromise is what most countries do, which is that citizens pay a fixed sum for health insurance which covers most of the basic expenses. However the incentives are never completely aligned - someone profits from people being ill.

For what it’s worth, I am a native English speaker and I disagree with the other poster. I would interpret “equally possible” similarly to how you did.
What you're referring to is usually called a spectral color. It's the most common form of color, but it's not the entirety of the term. Whites and grays are the achromatic colors.

Metameric colors can have different spectra even when they look identical. You're probably familiar with magenta, a color that has no monochromatic wavelength. More exotic is stygian blue, a color that has no wavelengths at all.

Different people don't perceive the same wavelengths identically either. For example, colorblindness exists and there are genes which slightly shift the opsin sensitivity curves in your eyes.

Color is a very, very deep rabbit hole.
