FOR THE RECORD,

Financial crashes are not "black swan" events. I've never seen a black swan in my life, but I've seen two or three financial crashes. As far as I can tell, Taleb is just a memer.

His degeneration of late is hopefully cluing people in, though the compulsion to substitute memes for thought will continue. Hey, maybe that's what IQ is, a person's likeliness to think instead of resorting to memes? Maybe that's why Taleb hates it?

What does QE have to do with anything? Also, if you think extending cheap financing to businesses during a financial collapse is wasteful you're a fool.

Pretty strange to be bitching about monetary policy then in the same breath praise pseudo-weaponized Keyensianism that doesn't even yield anything useful. Who do you work for, friend?

Not praising or protesting anything. Just an observation. QE or DOD-pork have utility provided there is a check against moral hazard. As nobody of consequence went to jail for creating the CDO crisis, and as nobody will do so for the F35 boondoggle... the hazard remains.

Don't people just write helper functions to deal with the error checking spam? It's five lines at the top of the file...

Anyway, I will miss our GOPATH overlords. I have enough decisions to make, I'm fine with the language making some for me.

It's a lot of trouble to go through to get people to forget you called some Thai firefighter a pedo on Twitter...

Eh, it's a very limited study that basically says two sets of subjective effects are similar. Useless, maybe, but not pseudo.

Many things share similarities, and aren't otherwise related.

Will someone please update this with experiences with Ryzen?

It works fine on OSX 10.12.6. You need the following customizations (not sure what's in OSX-KVM already):

- tell explicitly it's a "Penryl" CPU (<model fallback='allow'>Penryl</model>)

- force AES instructions in order to use encryption effectively (<feature policy='require' name='aes'/>)

- explicitly define topology (<topology sockets='1' cores='8' threads='2'/>)

- use usb-tablet (<input type='tablet' bus='usb'/>) for much more convenient mouse input that does not lock to window. Initial setup may need to be done with usb mouse (<input type='mouse' bus='usb'/>)

All of the above need to be reflected in QEMU command line.

I've been using this setup for last half year without issues (mostly heavy compiling).

I'm looking forward porting this setup to 32-core Threadripper. Would be a hell of a beast that outperforms Apple HW that costs several times more.

I would be more than happy to, in exchange for a Ryzen chip and board. :) [seriously!]

For what aspects? Performance?

Compatability?

I think the question is, what happens when we move away from this usefulness in physics? I didn't follow the paper, but some way of backdooring quantum uncertainty into classical physics might be useful, too

Very carefully.

Another week, another example of people doing something dumb on the basis of medical superstition...
