Yes, but: the winning party having less than 50% of the votes still feels incredibly undemocratic, as you get a situation where a majority of the voters picked a different choice.

Proportional systems give an outcome where a majority of voters voted for at least one of the parties in the winning coalition. Coalitions become explicit rather than internal to parties. The internationalist/isolationist split in the Conservative party that they were desperately trying to put off would have happened much earlier.

The referendum failed because only the LDs really supported it. I note that all sorts of devolved assemblies, councils, and (former) Euro elections used different systems.

I did the same, but the setup.sh is the weak point of the whole setup, as it needs to reproduce (and you need to update that) the behavior of the setup-* (alpine-conf) scripts.

Also apkovl's are dumb tarballs, you can generate them without using lbu.
Injection moulding is cheaper than you imagine now. The cheapest moulds start from about $250, and there are plenty of companies who will make a mould and make and ship 5k parts within 7 days.

These designs would need quite a few changes to be injection moulding compatible - for one thing the fins are probably going to have to be flat not circular due to draft angle requirements.

Changing the core to a roll of embossed steel foil might be a better bet, and whilst that would add about $1 to the price, it would also make the product work better and be more compact or more efficient due to a higher thermal mass in the core.
My basic understanding is that the thermal energy also costs a lot more over there than it does in north america, like 4x as much.
Click/traffic data for a top 100 website.
We weren't doing a ton, but basic recommendation processing, search improvement, pattern matching in user behavior, etc

We normally still would only need to process say, the last 10 days of user data to get decent recommendations, but occasionally it would make sense for processes running over the entire dataset.

Also this isn't that large when you consider binary artifacts (say, healthcare imaging) being stored in a database, which pretty sure that's what a lot of electronic healthcare record systems do.

A random company I bumped into has a 40TB OLTP database to this effect.
I think a ban that prohibits the distribution of a product is fine.

My understanding is that private citizens are still legally allowed to use TikTok if they want, but TikTok isn't allowed to market their product directly to US consumers via App stores. That seems pretty reasonable given China's position on US internet products.

Free trade and openness only works if all parties agree on the rules. If one party is open while the other exploits that openness by selectively opening up only when it benefits them then undermines the principles you believe in.

If we want China to be more open we have to ensure they're playing by the rules and they're not going to do that if we continue to allow them to exploit us.
>No speech or information is being suppressed;

Except the whole reason for the TikTok bill is that information/speech will be under Chinese government control on TikTok and that can be weaponized.

So make up your mind, if you say TikTok is being banned for the possibility of "weaponized propaganda", then it is information being suppressed.

If you say it's not about information suppression, then you can't use the "Chinese propaganda" argument, which is used by pretty much all ban supporters.

>This isn't like China where the government bans any services they can't control, and directs the services that they can control to suppress any information they don't want people talking about.

That's exactly what it is.
Torch is as far removed from system programming as humanly possible... CUDA is a library for application development, not for system programming.

The whole OS was written in many languages. It's hard to think about a mainstream language that wasn't used to write an OS. I think, you can even find OS written in PDF, if you persist at your search. This doesn't mean that PDF is a good system programming language, or that it's worth considering in this domain...

In the 1970s, magnetic bubble memories were seen as potential replacements for disk drives (and, initially, even semiconductor RAM), but rapid improvements in what we now regard as traditional technology outpaced what could be done with bubble memory.

I am pretty sure that bubble memory is unrelated to the phenomenon discussed here, beyond that it made use of a magnetic effect in a solid substrate.

The fundamental difference is that in Vim, a tab/window contains splits, whereas in VSCode and every other editor AFAIK, a tab is a child of a split.

In Vim I can have test and implementation side-by-side in tab0, and then two splits of the one file in tab1, a header file, impl and test in tab2, etc.

With another editor, I have to switch tabs in split 1, then switch tabs in split 2, rearranging or adding more splits as needed when moving between different groups of files.

The Scottish and Welsh assemblies use AMS. The NI assembly uses STV. You can see how this produces completely different results from the Westminster elections held in those areas.

Here is the dividing line rarely discussed openly. I and many other Americans truly believe the United States government and it's oligarchs are their greatest threat to American citizens.

>> Much of the world we interact with every day already runs on PHP, JavaScript, and untyped Python that is not verified, not type checked, and has repos overflowing with bugs and CVEs.

Yes, see, that's exactly the motivation for program synthesis (i.e. the automatic generation of programs that are correct with respect to some specification). Human programmers are perfectly capable of producing buggy code on our own. Nobody needs a system that can automatically generate bugs for the programmer to find and fix. We want something that can help us find bugs and fix them, or generate bug-free code automatically (if you can do one, you can do the other).

That is computationally hard and that hasn't changed, just as complexity theory hasn't suddenly been rendered obsolete, because of LLMs. Every attempt to get LLMs to produce correct code so-far use an LLM as a generator and then filters its output through a classical verifier, which is subject to all the issues with complexity that arise everywhere in program synthesis (for an early exemplar of that see DeepMind's AlphaCode).

Not sure how creditable their research is, but I’d place it above random news articles.
Sure, just before the inauguration, Biden's last convulsion, nothing to be surprised about after for example giving some Chinese pedophile a pardon, or his son etc etc. And the next day, the 20th of January, after the inauguration, everything will be rewinded.
There is no evidence whatsoever presented in that paid for NCRI study.

In fact, the same result can be used to interpret as "strong traces of anti-China manipulation on American social medias".
As a community we need to do some thinking on how open source may sensibly be applied to hardware. Unfortunately Prusa, who used to be a real champion, has departed from the assumed True Path, and they have discussed their reasons, which are largely valid. That said their design at a more fundamental level has also departed from a maintainable, simple and elegant design.

The purpose of the source code is to enable maintenance, not cloning, I say that on the website. That is this context, there are many others. It improves the economics because the machine lasts longer and there is no planned obsolescence. People are welcome to make their own units from the source if they have the skill, but although it would be fun, I don't really have time to make it easy. Some day there may be a kit which is very economical but it will still take a whole day of work to assemble, probably.

They then accessed data for more than 5,000 of those children two years later. Over the intervening period, those in the study who reported spending more time than the norm on video games saw an increase of 2.5 IQ points above the average rise.

I hate to be that guy. I know everyone hates this phrase. But I'm going to say it anyway.

Correlation does not imply causation.

It's possible that higher IQ kids are naturally more drawn towards video games since video games let them solve puzzles and/or compete intellectually.

That said, I could believe a game such as Starcraft where fast thinking, hand eye coordination, and a healthy dose of game theory can improve cognitive abilities over a long period. After all, nature made it fun to play in order to practice our skillset, and video games are a form of playing. It's just that I've never seen a study that can conclusive prove this.
Exactly. This stuff has been known about for a long time. It was just kind of ignored and you kinda hoped your library might have something to deal with it (boost, win32, pthread, etc). Then each one acted differently on different platforms or with each other. Some of the std lib is starting to have things we need. But now I have to deal with things in the crt and stdlib that actively break multi threading. Mutexes, semaphores, flags, pulsing, etc is not exactly new patterns. Real mess and you have to understand it too deeply for it to be meaningful to more people. It is why things like promise/async/await are very popular with javascript and their libraries. As it looks like multithreaded programming with a decently clear interface as to what it is going on.

The interior of a neutron star is not "solid". You can imagine it's made of a lot of small balls that are the neutrons and some protons [1]. They are small in comparison, so from a small black hole point of view it's like fog. Black holes don't suck like a vacuum cleaner, it's they only absorb what it colide with them. Imagine the black hole is a very sticky point in a pin, and you move it inside fog. It woulg take a lot of time to collect all the fog.

Well, it's not a hypothetical to say that surveillance leads to reduced non-conventional civic participation and reduces the ability for citizens to safely engage in protest.

We can look at contemporary research of highly surveilled institutions: https://cdt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Student-Activity-...

> Of students who indicate that their school uses monitoring software,
many report a chilling effect on their behavior and self-expression online
— six in ten students agree with the statement, “I do not share my true
thoughts or ideas because I know what I do online is being monitored,”
and 80 percent report being “more careful about what I search online
when I know what I do online is being monitored.”

We can review recent past high-profile, surveillance-oriented regimes like Nazi Germany, or the McCarthy-era Red Scare and Cold War. There is a multitude of personal accounts from that era, where anyone of note had to be extremely careful about what was said, to whom and where.

Over and over throughout history, good things, like giving shelter to persecuted refugees or slaves, has been considered illegal. Citizens were told to snitch on one another. If drones were available then, you'd have seen them in every single nook and cranny.

Politicians today wear nice, pressed suits and often conduct themselves pleasantly. But only a fool would buy into their brand of symbolic mind control. The reality is that many governments today are as evil as ever due to the scale and population today. And the ones that aren't, are in danger of becoming authoritarian. Authoritarian and populist movements have been sweeping through the West.

Any technology we implement today represents codified procedure, whether codified in law or not. And that codified procedure will absolutely be used to enforce an arbitrary morality as defined by the incumbent party. We've seen this for a century with cannabis and the global war on drugs. We see this now with abortion, where citizens in Texas are encouraged to snitch on women who seek abortions.

So looking forward, we can avoid hypotheticals while pointing to clear patterns in history, for those who need empirical evidence. We can also just establish self-consistent, ethical political frameworks which disqualify such unwarranted mass surveillance, simply on the grounds that regimes can change while codified procedure can be repurposed, and that mass surveillance erodes trust, without even needing to point to past atrocities and compromised governments.

Happy to discuss further if this doesn't satisfy you. I can also draw from my own life experiences living under surveillance and child abuse, and the extreme chilling effect it caused, if you want anecdotal data.

In the early 80's, people were spending more than $3k for an IBM 5150. For that price you got 64 kB of RAM, a floppy drive, and monochrome monitor.

Today, lots of people spend far more than that for gaming PCs. An Alienware R16 (unquestionably a consumer PC) with 64 GB of RAM starts at $4700.

It is an expensive computer, but the best mainstream computers at any particular time have always cost between $2500 and $5000.

It's better compared to a blauberg vento or lunos e2. That product probably gets poor efficiency, I have not checked the technical sheet but if they say 80% that means at the minimal flow levels, which are only 10 cfm or something. The TW4 gets >85% sensible and comparable latent efficiency, at 60 cfm. It also has twice the maximal flow of that device. It's got many other features as well, and is more durable. Ultimately, it's about return on investment. You have to make a spreadsheet and see which one is best, given the actual tested values for efficiency flow, maintenance cost, etc. If that's not possible, it's a shot in the dark.
