That may be a bit strong. What can be said is that a lot of the initial media outrage regarding the residential schools in the last few years were based on possible gravesites, discovered using ground-penetrating radar. However, multiple excavations have so far been unable to confirm those gravesites at the scales predicted, some of them even turned out to contain no human remains at all [0]. That does not excuse anything, but I find it troubling how many fairly strong claims are made in this thread with zero citations/evidence to back them up.
Over 3k children buried with little to no documentation, families not informed, kids never returned to their loved one.
I don't think what I have said is strong at all. The reports are eyeopening, the level of care afforded to these kids is abysmal. The Church stood in the way of providing documentation for families to find their kids. Basically buried them and forgot where.
The fact we can't find these children is the "strong" complaint I have. You are suggesting that because we can't find over 3000 children.
The discoveries of unmarked graves began to make international headlines in May 2021, starting with the detection of 215 potential graves at the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. This was followed by several other significant findings, including over 600 potential graves at the Marieval Indian Residential School site in Saskatchewan and 182 at the former St. Eugene's Mission School in British Columbia, among others.
All of that sounds like a very strong motivation to feel the way I do. I should not have to explain how this mistreatment is all racially motivated, too.
Lots of evidence of abhorrent mistreatment, over 3k lost children in hundreds of potential burial sites and you have the bravado to say "no one has been found" as if that means nothing is to be found.
People downplaying this stuff makes me want to vomit.
The article linked does not support the thrust of your comment.
"In total there are presently 4,126 children within the national student memorial register.[15] Research efforts by the NCTR are ongoing, and this number will increase over time."
There are clearly more gravesites than we currently know about. The scale of this atrocity is beyond what was predicted.
I was referring specifically to the media coverage in 2021 and later that presented fairly large numbers (in the hundreds) of possible graves. However, per the article, none of them have been confirmed yet and a number of them even debunked.
I am not denying that there are large gravesites or that terrible things happened at those schools.
Is this[0] something you are questioning as being real news? Those are actual found bodies, 600 graves is significant amount of bodies that families never got to find out about. You know, people are alive today that have direct connection to those kids. It's not something that happened so long ago that it's just a tragedy of the past. People should be held accountable.
Oh so you were referring specifically to one of dozens of these schools "Kamloops" . Because there are undoubtedly several hundred of these graves with well over a hundred already confirmed.
Take a look a little further down the page and you can see a list with the numbers of suspected and confirmed graves per school clearly laid out. The first three examples already put the number at over a hundred.
I dont know where you imagine all those 4,126 children went when they died if not into unmarked graves?
What? Of course, the sets of integers, rationals and reals respectively are not identical , but the integers are a subset of the rational and the rational a subset of the real numbers.
"In material set theories, the elements of a set X have an independent identity, apart from being collected together as the elements of X. Frequently, they are also
sets themselves.
These are also called “membership-based” set theories.
In structural set theories, the elements of a set X have no identity independentof X, and in particular are not sets themselves; they are merely abstract “elements”
with which we build mathematical structures.
True. And it was immediately reversed when Merkel's conservative government took over. And then again reversed by the same conservative led government after Fukushima.
You're definitely right there. I put together a build with this CPU and chose the most expensive part available (except GPU because chip shortage, case because there are $5000 ATX cases for no good reason, PSU because I just got the best Seasonic one, and SSD because there are $12k enterprise ones): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DYxhk9
So that's $3500 without a GPU, buy a $500 used GPU on eBay and you're beating Apple. And, nobody buys $1000 motherboards, so that takes $500 off. You don't need a $300 case. Etc. Basically the point of the exercise is that you can max everything out, and get a faster computer for less money, which is what the comment was trying to say.
Someone will reply and say that your time sourcing and assembling the components isn't free, or that it doesn't run OS X, etc. I get it, you don't have to say that. Just adding an actual computer that's expensive as possible that you could have right now to compare to.
I just got a Titan A200 with a Ryzen 9 5950X. This CPU is really fast, and dissipates only 105W. The Titan workstation is the quietest I have ever had. It's really incredible. Price tag: $3600.
> According to Passmark, the 5950X is beating Intel's 12900X.
As a 5950X owner I thought this sounded off. Looking at the link it made a lot more sense, it only beats the 12900K in multi-core but in single core it is significantly behind. Really it's behind for the first 8 cores, until the Intel CPU starts using efficiency cores. Compared to the M1 Ultra the 5950X is behind in both metrics at nearly double the power consumption.
Not that the 5950X is a bad CPU, particularly if you need x86 support, it's just not really the topper it used to be against these 1 year newer chips. It'll be interesting if all 3 (AMD, Apple, and Intel) manage to get the next major iterations out by the end of the year and we get a fresh comparison on more even ground.
I think you’re right—we’re still on the first generation of Apple computer chips (and honestly I think the performance is still very impressive, even if overpriced), and there is a lot more motivation now on the others. We might start seeing some big improvements.
Though you'd have a possibly noisy large black box, compared to a small quieter silver box. This is a factor in computer design - cooling is hard. A quiet small box with performance of a noisy large black box is something a lot of people would pay for (including me).
I really don't know. I suffer in both directions. I build large projects on a daily basis, so picked a Threadripper. It destroys large builds, especially C++ ones. Then I use the same computer to play games, and the CPU can only spit out 300 frames per second when my monitor can display 360, which is annoying. (It's CPU limited, not GPU limited, sadly.) So really, I want both, and nobody has both.
Single thread performance is going to be especially relevant if you are developing an older language. I'm always surprised how slow webpack is (and don't do enough frontend stuff to mandate that people switch to that Go equivalent), for example. If you have good single thread performance, you make a lot of Typescript developers happy. If you have good multi thread performance, you make a lot of C++ developers and gamers happy. So having both would be great ;)
To save the click a 12900K machine from Dell is about $3k. If you need CUDA or say SolidWorks get the PC, for video and multithreaded workloads the Mac would probably be faster, but really only benchmarks of your use case can tell you.
So made a build to essentially show how expensive an M1 Mac is compared to an intel machine but left out a critical component because it’s too expensive?
Umm, running a 1990s fortran code that's a CFD simulation is a "real" workload. Seems relatively likely that any floating point heavy code would act similarly. Hard to say if it's the matrix multiple or the memory bandwidth that's giving apple such a large lead.
Normally I'd discount using a 28 core Intel CPU from 2019, but from what I can tell Intel hasn't improved much since then. Keep in mind that Intel has a specialized vector unit (AVX256 or AVX512 depending on the model), and the listed CPU is pretty high end (with 6 memory channels) where the normal i5/i7/i9 is only 2.
So sure it's not a video compression, gaming, or web browing benchmark, but some folks do run floating point heavy codes. Unlike CUDA, which requires a rewrite, this code wasn't specifically optimized for the M1.
Hey man, maybe I'm a bot too. Who knows. Blip bloop. But these are just computer chips and fresh low karma accounts with vitriol dialed to the max is a-typical of HN. By all means, M1 is the worst, why froth at the mouth about it in this manner? You explain it.
I don't have to explain anything, HN is based on the ideals of arguing in good faith and not vilifying people for their opinions. If you think they're being harsh, then say that. If you think they're wrong, then refute them. But if you're solely seeking to bash them, why even comment in the first place? How does that advance anyone's understanding of the topic, or sway anyone's belief? It's the opposite of productive conversation, if you think they're encouraging a harmful or counterproductive dialogue then you can downvote them and move on. It's not rocket science.
I have been unable to find an official/authoritative source on vaccination rates among ICU patients with cursory search. Help for clearing this aspect up is appreciated!
According to this [0] at least BioNTech/Pfizer seem to be developing a booster shot specifically targeting the Delta variant. But they do mention that they’ve just recently “manufactured” the mRNA so it’s probably still months from being approved and ready to be deployed.
I seem to recall that fda and maybe other regulatory agencies have said that approval of modified-payload mRNA vaccines will be quicker. I recall that Pfizer has tests for a delta variant shot underway and I (naively) hope they can include several mRNA sequences in the next booster. Otherwise, it’s just reloading the body’s antibody load. As the entire spike protein is presented, there’s no guarantee that each person’s antibodies are the same or even one variety. This differs from the monoclonal antibodies from Lilly and Regeneron which work as-is.
