Isn't the current problem that modern cards will never exit a very low power boot up state with dogshit performance since that requires a signed firmware of some sort?

I think that sums it up nicely. Nvidia want the opensource driver to work just well enough that you can get a picture to install the proprietary one.
Thank you for that link. What an amazing poem!

Moral culpability depends on perspective. It’s not absolute. In some societies it’s immoral to consume alcohol, in others it’s immoral to get a divorce or use electricity on Saturdays.

From the perspective of NSO developers, they are helping prevent the next attack against civilians somewhere. I can’t fault them for that.

> I do not understand the point of trying to change the meaning of autopilot to mean lane keeping, or car chasing but with 100% attention still needed, then how will you name the real autopilot ?

Again, I ask you what you think an autopilot function in a plane does?

> do you think he would also be confused if marketing would have been more honest/modest ?

I'm merely noting that you said "autopilot is not a real autopilot", and I think that name is actually accurate, but unfortunately the public has a skewed perception of what autopilot means. Specifically, you can read the first paragraph of Wikipedia's entry for it[1] and it should be fairly clear where the public understanding (and possibly your interpretation) of what autopilot is and what it is and is meant for in reality. To cut to the chase, since you seem to have ignored most my hints to look into how autopilot works, it does not automate every portion of flying a place, but just allows pilots to focus on other aspects of operating the craft. A pilots should not ignore the operation of the plane just because of autopilot any more than a driver should ignore operation of a vehicle with some driving assist technology. In both cases, they are assistive technologies, not replacement for drivers.

If you want to make some case about what Tesla specifically said in addition to the naming, feel free to do so, but I'm not interested in arguing that. It wasn't what you initially argued, and it wasn't why I replied (I'm not interested in defending Tesla, just pointing out the naming may not be quite as bad as you think).

Bikes handle a lot better at speed & tend to have better brakes. Of course, if your speed is low, that doesn't matter.
That is correct, its just that employees are a lot less inelastic than employers, for multiple practical reasons.

I don't so much mind them littering the sidewalk as them being ridden on the sidewalk. They are extremely dangerous for pedestrians. Should I step around that dog poop, I might be hit by a scooter coming up from behind me. I have had close a dozen close calls when I was walking in a straight line. I walk 4 miles/day on sidewalks with these things.
Problem is that you are locking yourself. Even if this work for decades it can destroy your company. At some point, you will not be able to respond to change. More agile, faster-moving competitors will eat your lunch.

I am not suggesting rewriting to use new shiny things. If the platform is deprecated (32bit, mainframes, windows98, C89, etc) you migrate your code when it is still possible. Customers can still use an older version of your software is they are stuck in the past but you are not compromising future of your product.

Sure. I certainly don’t mean to imply Microsoft is now built on Rust.

But it is a big place, and some places do get to experiment.
I understand it sucks to stop at a stop light on an analog bike, but why on an ebike? You get help starting up again, like an escooter.
Pricing for Bird looks like $1 to unlock and $.15 / minute to ride. I think it's not unrealistic to see utilization of at least 5 rides per day for $5 of revenue + average of 15 minutes per ride for the other $11 to get to $16 / day.

It's likely that there's a few that are much more highly utilized to balance out those that are not utilized at all.
Flatshare bias: room-seekers with Muslim name get fewer replies
I've carried a Datasafe wallet made by Kena Kai for ten years or so. It includes a metallic mesh next to the leather that is durable enough that the wallet is still in good shape. I have no idea how well the protection truly works (it's marketed as complying with "FIPS-201 guidelines," which might not mean a lot) but it's been an excellent wallet in its own right.

There don't seem to be nearly as many of these for sale now as there were ten years ago, which is interesting.
Functionally this is the easiest problem in the world to solve. It's the same solution for scooters and dockless bikeshare.

Take two parking spots in each block. Put beacons on the corners or some kind of signaling tape around the whole thing. Only let users drop off rides inside that spot. Bonus points for having non-locking racks to help organize.

People get to litter their car on the side of my road, often in the bike lane for free and everyone walks around like it's okay. It's not. Neither are the scooters on the sidewalk. We know how to solve both problems. Parking spots for dockless transit and banning cars from transit and pedestrian rich neighborhoods.

[edit] I removed a line saying I was annoyed that people kept complaining the scooter parking situation. Those complaints point out a very real problem with scooter deployments and that we have a solution for it that is difficult to get passed doesn't make the complaint less valid.
I could not be more upset that people who have stated progressive goals such as cutting down on fuel and providing cheap public transportation are against these. They are an absolutely great alternative that makes these goals possible without having to completely overhaul city designs. The only externality really seems to be they are parked in random places - but I don't see how that is any different than cars parked on streets which are actually much more disruptive. Now more people can get to work or do errands cheaply without the need for a huge car or spending extra time with consolidated public transporation.
Super informative! Thank you for starting this discussion.
Check out Makie https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl

And the cool thing is, Julia's wonderful generic programming facilities mentioned in the blogpost are used to make Makie generic to backend (GL, WebGL, cairo etc). Relies on this library https://github.com/JuliaPlots/AbstractPlotting.jl

NSO Group was co-founded by ex-members of Unit 8200, the Israeli Intelligence Corps unit responsible for collecting signals intelligence. The unit relies on selecting 16-18 year-old recruits with the ability for rapid adaptation and speedy learning. Former soldiers of this unit have also created ICQ, Viber, Incapsula, Onavo, and dozens of other IT companies[1]. "How Israel Rules The World Of Cyber Security" is a short documentary by VICE[2].

At least this one is https://www.gnu.org/graphics/this-is-freedom-wallpaper.html , stated below the image.

Is it the creative commons stated for the website itself and would this also apply to the externally hosted images?

In addition to the comments about APY, this analysis also assumes that you'll get the same 2.32% rate when you buy another bond three months from now, six months from now, etc.--correct me if I'm wrong, but that rate isn't guaranteed to hold up through the year.

Modified readers the size of a briefcase can read NFC cards from around 300 feet away.

I can totally imagine someone leaving such a briefcase on a busy shopping street, then providing 'free money to anyone' via an app and the internet.
The door is usually a good way to leave.

If your goal is to be memorable though, obviously you pick a different option. You could crash through a window, then scream about aliens eating your pancreas until you get Tasered and strapped to a stretcher. You could chain saw through the wall, then hop out on a pogo stick while wearing only a sock. You could take a powered parachute up to the roof to make your escape.

If you might want to reconsider leaving facebook, go with the door.
The cost to mine is dynamic. Anyone suggesting a static price has a poor understanding of the protocol.

Fewer miners mean difficulty will adjust downward and those still mining will have a higher probability of getting the block reward.
I believe Julia has generic kernels for many linear algebra ops (like matrix multiply) that the compiler can use to generate code for different backends and types as a fallback to BLAS.
Girard addresses this in the chapter in 'Things Hidden' on "Hominization", ie how we transitioned from just another ape into humans. The time we spent as helpless infants increased as we evolved, and so the requirement to closely imitate our mother, family, society, became essential to survival.
COBOL is still used, too. I'm not sure what inference one should draw from that, though...
Ah come on when has Israel last employed force offensively, not defensively? As in first strike (not a retaliatory counter-strike) motivated mainly by economics/politics, not safety (e.g. like US war in Iraq or UK attacks on Syria or Russian occupation of Crimea although even then you could argue they were just defending their base but Israel's are milder than even that, such as destroying rocket/nuclear facilities in Syria and Iran).
> (2) Your expectations as a reader partially determine your judgement as to how much value a book has. As your expectations increase...

I understand this to mean that my ever-improving taste might make it seem like, as time goes by, a greater and greater proportion of books seem to be of low quality. However, it works the other way around, too: As people through new generations become ever more easily satisfied with mediocre writing, the need to produce high-quality works decreases. At least, this is what I think is happening with TV.
How about the engineers who did Manhattan? Scientists and engineers have always been a part of wars, just like the other people.
Yeah, I think this is a fair assessment. Companies like Citibike and Zipcar provide similar benefits, but they do so by isolating their pickups to designated areas where they presumably have approval to operate. These scooter companies use the sidewalk like they own it, and that's pretty obnoxious if you want to use a sidewalk for walking. The big complaint that most people have isn't that scooters are displacing driving, it's that they're using the sidewalks as free scooter storage and externalizing the cost of that to everyone else.
It causes genocide? Or it doesn't help prevent it? Those are 2 different things. It's unclear to me how Google's absence from the Chinese market actually ameliorates your concerns regarding Tibet.
The real value of Bitcoin is naturally going to settle around the cost to make it, like anything else. And that isn't zero.
The privacy angle is only part of it - the other part is someone else spending my money, and they can do that just as easily with something like Google Pay.

"don't directly use fossil fuels"

Looks like Maryland uses a significant amount of coal to power their grid, so is this even a good thing?
Digg's demise was due to its failure to police their content and to leave it up to the users. I remember it being a fun place, and then it became overrun by do-gooders we called the "bury brigades". Anything remotely interesting or creative got killed and you were left with press-releases from a few big media outlets. A dull news feed.

Many people moved to reddit, but /r/politics is pretty much exactly what became of Digg. If reddit didn't have diversity in its sub communities (and different people moderating them), it would've probably suffered the same fate by now.

not necessarily an analogy.
I think the question is how big the niche remains. I think the diminishing returns of the performance benefits from GPU model year to model year seem to be pushing a lengthening upgrade cycle where I find my towers outlasting the need to upgrade their GPUs. The last GPU replacement I did (a tower ago and a couple years back) was because the GPU fried itself, rather than for any perceived performance gain. Sure, it was a benefit in that case that the one failed component was not enough to sink that particular Ship of Theseus at that time, but on the other hand, I don't think I otherwise would have replaced the GPU on it before I replaced the entire tower. Unlike the tower before that where a GPU upgrade was a magical thing with drastic quality improvements.

I use a tower myself currently, but I had an (early) gaming laptop in college and lately have been considering a return to laptop gaming with all the progress that has been made since the last time I tried it. Partly, because it's one of the few ways to differentiate today between PC and Console gaming is having the freedom of more mobile gaming experiences. (Nintendo's Switch, of course, says "hello" with its docking-based approach to the console. If Nintendo is right, the future of even Console gaming is probably mobile, too.)

Anyway, yes the discrete GPU is still around today. I'm just suggesting it might not be guaranteed to stay. As someone that has been using PCs since the 386 era, there are past versions of me that would have been surprised that the Sound Card was reintegrated into motherboards, even for use cases like 5.1+ speaker setups. Dolby Atmos support on the Windows PC is a "free" "app" you download, that asks your video bus (!) to pass through certain sound data over its HDMI port(s) (or that supports existing 5.1+ mainboard outputs if you pay the license fee, or that supports headphones if you pay the license fee). There's a PC world where that would seem unimaginable without an extra expansion board or three and some weird cable juggling. With the diminishing returns of discrete GPU cards over time (despite AMD and nVidia marketing), it does feel like the importance, even to gamers, of discrete GPU cards could similarly come to an end as it did for sound cards.
I think of the coin flip solution as being honest with yourself: it only works if you really decide to follow the quarter's answer, and its that little sense of satisfaction/reluctance when you unmask the coins that points out the truth (at which point you ignore the quarter and do the correct thing)

and ofc if you feel nothing, then coin has already provided you a default to work with.

Many cards are programmed to stop working if their antenna is disconnected/broken. Not sure why, but I assume it's an anti-reverse-engineering thing. Or perhaps the antenna has another use like a power supply smoothing inductor.
Well, the timer does sort of work... but NOT REALLY.

It doesn't stop the timer on my Apple Watch, which keeps buzzing even after my phone stops. The Watch stops if I press the button,

> The US government wants to borrow at the cheapest rate of interest

This is categorically not true. If it were then Congress would pass legislation ordering the Fed to buy securities from the Treasury at whatever rate it liked (or abolish the Fed altogether and just directly spend money into existence). Congress in fact wants to provide savings vehicles, it's not actually necessary for Congress to borrow to fund the federal government. Sure it's necessary under current law but Congress by definition can change that law. That it chooses not to is an expression of a preference.
