Influencers on Youtube will give them that [1] but its meaningless. If a benchmark is not part of an in-depth comparison than it doesn't mean anything and can't inform you on what hardware will run this software best.

These shallow benchmarks influencers post on youtube and twitter are not just meaningless but also take days to browse through. And they are influencers, they are meant to influence you and are therefore not honest or reliable.

>but I don’t understand how you’re concluding that a Mac is the “second best option” to your $30K machine

I conclude that if you can't afford to develop custom chips than in certain cases a cluster of M4 Mac Mini's will be the fastest cheapest option. Cerebras Wafers or NVDIA GPUs have always been too expensive compared to custom chips or Mac Mini clusters, independent of the specific software workload.

I also meant to say that a cluster of $599 Mac Minis will outperform a $6500 M2 Ultra Mac Studio with 192GB and be half the price for higher performance and DRAM but only if you utilize the M4 Mac Mini aggregated 100 Gbps networking.
It is probably not worth the complexity currently but considering they are using small local CPU models for OCR like tesseract, if they add the support of reading files on the web then I wouldn't be so sure of the CPU bound aspect.

No, Kobo and Pocketbook run Linux. Most of the Sony models too. Some Android readers like Tolino and Nook don't allow installing apps without jailbreaking.
He only gets one vote among 300 something committee members, so his opinion while important, is largely irrelevant.

By the way, ever noticed that after C89, neither Ritchie nor Dennis ever had anything else to do with how WG14, or the compiler industry vendors, decided to take C onwards?

The original Plan 9 C compiler isn't even standards compliant.

> By "left out", I mean that there are multiple solutions to the equations of motion which are compatible with the initial values of the situation.

It's worth noting the distinction between a model and the thing the model describes. It's not "cheating" to note that while a model could admit multiple solutions only one could be valid in the original system.

In a very specific sense, eliminating the other solutions is still part of solving the model, just with discrete logic rather than e.g. calculus.
The fact that FL Studio is still written in Delphi is mind blowing

> Imagine if tennis and basketball used the same courts; that would be a major problem.

It would only be a problem if you closed half the courts. Otherwise it would better spread the load over the existing courts.

And if twice as many people started wanting to play tennis it would be the same problem as if they want to play Pickleball on tennis courts. It's just gatekeeping tennis courts.
What exactly is being projected, and from where onto what?
Hey, this look neat. I'm not familiar with kobos, are they good (compared to kindles)? Does this require some sort of jailbreaking or are they quite open by default?
Calibre lets you manage your library, convert formats and there are plugins to remove DRM

There’s also qping, tping and rping, but they are not implementing ping functionality, but are tools for checking the status of specific remote services.
Sometimes things just happen. I mean, nobody could have foreseen this!
Point 1 is absolutely a downside, at least for people near the court. The city decided that putting a pickleball court across the street from my building would be a great idea, and now my summers are filled with the pock-pock-pock of pickleball. From 9am to 8pm nearly every day that is nice. Also, since we cannot have nice things / people are assholes, they had to come back and put up an 8 foot tall fence because people were simply stepping over the shorter fence and playing until after midnight.
PS1 emulation on the PSP is actually mostly a native Sony feature! Sony has always been very interested in backwards compatibility; initially to solve the chicken-and-egg problem of a new console not having many titles available at launch, but later largely focusing on additional revenue by selling people digital downloads for games they might well already own (because they removed native media compatibility...)

For the PSP, media compatibility was obviously never a possibility, but as I understand it, the native PS1 emulator on the PSP essentially works with completely unmodified PS1 ISOs in some sort of container file format, which homebrew developers have then quickly reverse engineered.

The emulator itself is technically quite impressive, and apparently largely runs unmodified PS1 MIPS R3000 code on the PSP's MIPS R4000, although the GPU is emulated [1].

I've got a 3rd generation Kindle. It's over a decade old, but it works flawlessly except that it can't authenticate with Amazon anymore, due to changes in their whatsits. So, it's not possible for me to legally buy books from them, which (according to me) gives me license to just pirate everything I want. Nobody will believe this, but I do buy physical copies of about 90% of the books I steal, if only used copies. But Amazon doesn't get a dime from me anymore.

I bring this up to mention how incredibly easy it is to sideload books into a Kindle (an old one at least; can't speak to the new ones).
Or even just HEV and PHEVs with slightly larger battery packs.
They actually just published it under a CC0 license which has equivalent effect.

There are plenty of B2B opportunities where it just doesn't make sense for an open source competitor to emerge. There are plenty of hobbyist programmers willing to work on operating systems. Accounting systems? Way fewer. International export compliance? Zero.

There is plenty of opportunity in boring, unsexy niches. We have enough CRMs and Jira clones though.
In that case putting NRQL reference into context would work wonders
Both Kobo and PocketBook readers use some custom embedded Linux distro. OnyxBoox uses Android, but its hardly universal.
Restricting the freedom of movement is usually associated with authoritarian, as would be xenophobia. However in term of effectiveness to combat a pandemic, restricting movement in places of high population density is a very effective measure. A specific issue with covid was also that the virus survived and distributed well in places with air recycling, such as planes, trains and buses (as well as trams and subways). The initial theory that spread were limited to droplets from infected individuals was found to be completely false. Sadly, this fact of the virus was mostly forgotten in the following political discussion. It is also why virus researchers view on masks was different (and generally ignored by everyone) compared to the two political camps. If you want to prevent an airborne virus, you got to either separate the air or have good enough filters, and studies done in the Swedish Karolinska medical university showed that even their hospital filtered AC system was not able to kill the virus. Live virus particles could be detected in every place where the AC system was connected.

One can hope those kind of lessons will carry over to future pandemics if they are of similar nature as covid.
>What is "magical wand" here?

Seriously, you don't seem to know much about things you speak confidently about.

Norton's dome is a surprising mathematical situation in very conventional classical mechanics. It doesn't matter what else Norton has done, this observation is trivial to verify for every undergrad maths/physics student.

This has absolutely nothing to do with entropy or the arrow of time.

The mathematical situation is of no practical relevance because it's "density zero": Generic deviations will destroy this peculiar behaviour.
Your “government waste” is another’s crucial government program.

Since we don’t have a definition for waste, going through finding it is an ideological exercise.

I wonder what percentage of kindle users even knew about this or used it.
Electric cars, and to a more limited extent, smartphones are both beneficiaries of the development of batteries and rare earth magnets. Smartphones, from the dull but vital investment in wireless infrastructure. This also explains why the boom in e-bikes waited until the past few years, despite the level of demand that would have been obvious to anybody, and the minimal support tech needed to make them work.
For $200/month and all that auxiliary infrastructure, those two RDS instances will be running on the equivalent compute power of an iPhone 5s…
Thank you Mark for all the hard work you’ve put in to the React community over the years.
> People just don't care. If they did, they would have voted against Trump.

I don't think this follows at all. There are tons of variables at play in an election that make this connection way, way too noisy.
I've switched from Amazon to Kobo (in terms of a store, I don't use either's devices). I tested last night and I was able to copy epubs purchased from Kobo wherever I wanted. They have all of what you just described.

Like you, I insist on having the ability to archive and backup my media, and the second I learned that Amazon was removing that ability I was done with them.

Also just to echo what others have said, I'm of the belief that once you pay for a book/game/etc... as long as you're the only one using it, the rest is free game. Pirate away after you buy a copy and I don't think there's an ethical problem there.
Everything is allowed as long as you cat honestly. Some present no challenge (like idspispopd and run to exit makes no sense) so nobody runs it.
It hurts to be disparaged like this… I forgive you, but please don’t address me anymore.

If you are open to using zsh, take a look at https://github.com/larkery/zsh-histdb . It stores your zsh history in a sqlite3 db. The benefit of this is that your history is well-structured and indexed, and that you can use SQL to query it. The working directory, exit status, and more are included, so you can easily implement your own smart history tools.
Haha, except the people running it..

This contrived example shows why GPTs version of “intelligence” is quite different from ours.

It’s very hard to get a an AI to answer “I don’t know” reliably, meanwhile in your story a human has to be coerced with violence into answering anything but “I don’t know”.
This has nothing to do what your use case since you get the books from the library.
The PSP was probably the most hyped up gadget in my teenage years. It was launched only after a long delay in Europe, but even after all that time of waiting and the highest of expectations, it delivered. So thank you for being a part of that :)

It is the Rust's version of the Haskell's burritos blog posts of 15 years ago, every time someone finally understood the M word.
While this is a fun intellectually stimulating nerd toy for engineers, trading just doesn’t make sense to me.

Making massive sums of money from bad policies of governments, shorting companies or even entire countries and making money from wars by shorting and longing commodities is a repugnant way of making money and is immoral.

This is no better than crypto trading and gambling.
Affiliates = websites/apps trying to help readers/authors in different ways while trying to make enough to pay for infrastructure / time-to-build.

For example, I run Shepherd.com, and I try to help readers find books they don't know about in fun ways while helping new authors get their first readers.

Or book websites that try to create questions for book clubs to use when discussing books.

Fun fact: The real affiliate rate is only half what they publish, as the sales get scrubbed due to the chaotic nature of cookies/affiliate tracking. So Amazon pays around 2% for book sales, and bookshop.org pays 5% (if not less at Amazon since they only compensate you if the sale happens in the first 24 hours). This is why it is impossible for any book websites to fund themselves without direct funding from readers/authors at this point.
I think this is missing out on the big issue - tyre pollution which contains really nasty chemicals that inevitably get washed into rivers and waterways.

Also, car-shaped EVs often use regenerative braking which will reduce the amount of brake dust pollution, but with their increased weight and powerful torque, they produce a lot more tyre pollution than ICE vehicles.

> the romanticized idea of the local bookstore will become obsolete

actually local bookstores are making somewhat of a comeback as people understand their value (there have been multiple articles on this though I can't find them right now)

I was an early adopter of Kindle and used to buy digital books from Amazon (or get them from IRC, mostly out of print technical books), and used Apple Books too. But for the past 5 years or so, I only buy books from my local bookstore (preferably used, but sometimes new), except that I do sometimes buy used books from ThriftBooks.com. I found that I much prefer reading a physical book, and it feels good to be supporting the local economy in some small way rather than giving more money to Bezos and Co. After all, I benefit from a stronger local economy whereas I don't benefit from Amazon becoming ever larger.

Smartphones at least are absolutely crippled by being locked down by user-hostile app stores and rent schemes. Instead of uplifting us, they've made us angry crackheads. I think the valley is a risk to humanity's survival at this point.

LLMs and electric cars simply have zero impact on my life, and I imagine that other people would have had few issues coming up with the latter.
>Smartphones didn't come from a VC-backed startup.

This isn't entirely correct: both Palm and Apple (the creators of the smart phone) were originally venture-backed.
What a textbook (sorry, printed blog) example of a No True Scotsman.
Thanks for sharing this! I tend to agree that it’s easiest to understand this way.

I just find it a frustrating fact about modern machine learning that in fact, the nice SDE interpretation is somehow not the “truth”, it’s just a tool for understanding.
It has DRM and there is no way to read books from there except on their iOS and android apps and maybe the website (ereaders are excluded entirely at least for now - i think they’re hoping to add Kobo support eventually)
You will always have Assembly for driving dangerously fast without either a seatbelt, nor an helmet.

By the way, even C has a runtime, without which several ISO C features aren't available.

That is why there is a freestanding section.
Isn’t the simpler solution to not care?

I’d rather just pay to read books from Amazon right on my Kindle than go through the rigamarole of pirating all my epubs and PDFs.

In 16 years of Kindle ownership I’ve never once been like dang I wish I had an offline backup of that.
When you buy. You can chose to put the profit to a specific local bookshop or into a group fund. Sounds like a great coop idea. Maybe the only thing to compete with heavily subsidized Amazon big corp.

It is sooo annoying to NOT be able to find any books online except for AMZ or the companies they bought up goodread.
It's great that you had a fun time hanging out with friends, but spending a few days with friends around a pool table and bar isn't really a trip, it's a gathering. Trips tend to be centered around the place you're going to, with experiences you can only have at that place, and nowhere else.
That's the fly in the ointment, they're not. The increased mass and torque actually produces more tire dust than a ICE car.
To be fair, Sony released an UMD-less model themselves! Many titles, especially later in the system's life, got a digital/PSN release in addition to the UMD one, and some were even digital exclusive.
You don’t have to go as far as the Middle East. A significant part of the US electorate takes the Bible as true.

Because in the end of the day centralisation of content wins. The same reason that facebook is still the best place for many people in many places of the world to advertise/discover events, or sell/buy stuff, despite its horrible UX for this kind of things. The current problem is not making a good website for X specific thing around human interactions, but how to put things together.
You’re describing something different, which is just paying later. I was objecting to someone proposing reading books and then paying only if they thought it was good. That’s the part that isn’t commerce, because one side is making use of a good and isn’t compensating the other side.
Honestly in most genres you're hosed, but if you're into Japanese nerd stuff, j-novel club sells light novels (and a few manga) with no DRM.
> Those aren't books. They're printed blogs you pay for.

If you are going to make an outlandish claim like this, at least try to post some criteria to defend. Not doing so has led to you not realizing that you can't without also excluding works of classical literature like Sense & Sensibility (which was self-published by Jane Austin).

There's also more direct problems with the arbitary line you are trying to draw, like best-selling book The Martian, which was originally published as a blog, then self-published as an e-book, then officially published as a book by a major publisher.

Some of the books on the kobo store come with DRM, but if that’s the case it says so in the description.
It does seem like they have explicit provisions to exempt those distributing non-commercial OS/FOSS from these requirements. This is in keeping with the EU's promotion/funding of public benefit software.
I looked over the explanation on the Wiki and, thinking about it, I'd say that the surface around the tip of Norton's Dome is not a continuous function, which alone is enough for me to disqualify it.

Intuitively, that's a sufficient explanation to me, or at least a sufficient start of one. IANAPhysicist, so I'll ask here: are there any examples of surfaces or phenomena in classical physics that are defined by a discontinuous function, and are something you'd actually expect to see existing in the real world? Things seemingly discontinuous until you zoom in close enough don't qualify.
Bookshop.org sells ebooks now. There is DRM based on publisher specifications unfortunately. For DRM free books, I ship physical copies for scanning to get a PDF, which is not great unfortunately.

When we consider things at the macro scale, we may find properties that don't appear at the micro scale, this is called emergence, and that's what thermodynamics is about.

Particle motion may be deterministic, and importantly, time-reversible, when we have too many particle to individually consider, the rules change, and that's when you are talking about entropy and temperature. To consider an extreme example, our brain is made of subatomic particles, and yet, psychology is not at all like particle physics. The same can be said of finance, where global economics have laws that don't apply to individual transactions and vice-versa.

It is like shuffling a deck of card is considered random, though it is not at all the case, in fact, a skilled magician can control the shuffle and pretty much order the deck in any way he likes. But for the purpose of playing cards, it is considered random, and theory is built on that.

Wooo, Windows support! Availability of network diagnostics tools in Windows has been problematic, particularly for very infrequent use. There are some good looking ones for purchase, but it's hard to purchase when we don't usually need it.

For a while, largely related I think to just not having enough bandwidth at our office, but also partly because our coax on the Xfinity cablemodem was sketchy, we were not infrequently having issues, and the majority of my coworkers are on Windows. ping and tracert aren't very good tools for finding out what is going on with intermitant networking issues, especially when it might also be people's home wifi from WFH. There were times I just wished they could run mtr.

Over the last year or so I've been seeing more Windows tools available, which has been great!
