> Some of you want to keep working without being paid, because that feels a bit like communism within capitalism, it makes you feel good to contribute to the greater good while not having the system determine your value over money. I hear you. I’ve been there (and sometimes still am). But as long as we live in this system, even though we didn’t choose to and maybe even despise it - communism is not about working for free, it’s about getting paid equally and adequately.

For one Ramanujan you have 1000 cranks.

Crazies say they validate and test their idea, but they actually suffer from severe confirmation bias where they summarily dismiss any counterexample or problem.

On Windows many use VoiceMeeter with OBS for basic audio mixing.

> Whoever does it basically gets a free nuclear test that the other nuclear powers would probably be jealous

If Russia/China/US/France/... want to do a test, they do it. There is nothing to negotiate and no one to beg for permission.

France did nuclear tests in 1996 despite massive international outrage and pressure.

Does Linux use the RNG inside Intel/AMD CPUs?

One sample:

> Religion plays a significant role in influencing corruption levels [26,[29], [30], [31], [32], [33]]. While all religions encourage good moral conduct and ethical behavior, studies show that different religions are associated with varying levels of corruption. Notably, countries whose primary religions are hierarchical religions such as Catholic Christianity (Catholicism), Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and Islam, tend to have higher corruption levels, particularly in comparison to Protestant Christian countries [21,30,[34], [35], [36], [37]]. Supporting this claim, [30] found that corruption levels are lowest in countries with a Protestant majority and highest in countries with an Orthodox Christian majority.

To disentagle communism you can look at 1800. But there you have other confounders (colonialism, industrialization, feudalism...)

They still make good hard drives.

You also need to take religion into account - Catholic vs Orthodox.

Orthodox countries are statistically more corrupt due to relation to God and it's translation to relation to authority. This is well researched.

The basic display interface used by UEFI and low level boot loaders these days it's called GOP - Graphics Output Protocol. It replaced VESA.

When you run a tight hot loop, GC has no impact.

Just like you wouldn't allocate smart pointers in a tight C++ loop.

You can do dumb slow things in both languages, and yes, C# programmers might be less informed about these topics, but it's not a language problem.

> Another thing you can immediately see is that the QML version of the algorithm is generally much slower than the JavaScript version. As noted above, this is due to it being built on QObjects rather than JavaScript objects.

Of course, QML is trying to beat the browser at it's own game, but can't match the billions invested in browser performance.

Qt classic is dead, and QML is a less featured, less documented, underperforming copy of Electron.

You can do network analysis.

He should appear in the contact list of relevant people (Apple employees, press, ...)

Buying a private phone number and contacting it for support could be considered harassment.

CPUs have been growing their register files too - AVX512 has 32 x 512 bits registers.

On NTFS Everything reads the MFT, which is sequential on disk.

Then on subsequent starts it reads the NFTS update journal to see what changed.

For example it updates after every character you type. Sometimes you don't know exactly what you are looking for or you are exploring.

You might want to google the South Park version of the human centipede, now that you know.

If you build more housing in NY and rent goes down, more people will move to NY because they can now afford it and push rents back up.

London is also very expensive to rent and it's not rent controlled.

Many physicists believe that no singularity can phisically exist in nature and that they are just our lack of a better theory.

Isn't two pass encoding similar? In the first pass you collect statistics you use in the second pass for bandwidth allocation?

Possibly Netflix statistics are way better.

I didn't use Bing chat that much, but everytime I've added "do not search" to the prompt it respected it.

Have you tried indian vegan food? for example the "Sagar" restaurant? Some Indians have hundreds of years of vegan experience and they perfected it.

I'm not vegan, but this was the first time I've had vegan food and felt both full and "wow, this was amazing".

Not in the field, but don't forget the grid is dynamic and has feedback loops, control algorithms and humans in the loop.

It's closer to an unstable chaotic system which needs constant balancing and tweaking.

They say Buddah was the son of a king.

Maybe they compare the geolocation with the browser timezone.

This mechanism (electroporation) is one of the first steps in mass-producing the mRNA vaccine.

> wiggle a voltage in proportion to the return value, feed the output stream into a digital-to analog-converter

The first part of this sentence, the wiggle, is already a DAC.

I can already see modding: print your own "waveform discs".

Also, use the fingers as a break for low frequency modulation.

The idea is brilliant as a novelty synth. Remains to be seen if it's actually useful and expressive enough.
