I asked Pascal Dornier about the V1000 and was told that the TDP of the newer SoC's is well outside of the cooling capacity of the standard APU case so it's a no-go. The current APU2 g SoC TDP is 6.5W where as the V/R SoC's start at 12W.

I also asked about a version with audio, video and socketed ram and was again told no. The reasons were A. little demand and the market is already saturated, B. Socketed RAM is not as easy to implement as you think, C. HDMI licensing is expensive for a small company, D. AMD does not give them good support.

In other words glorified wifi, except the AP is no longer owned or controlled by me.
I believe it. There are a lot of small environmental details that make a big difference to sound quality and how sound bounces around a room. Wall/floor material, distance between the speakers or to the listener, distance from the walls, ceiling height, etc. It's the kind of thing people will spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to get just right.
Seattle is different than "back East". Come June, it doesn't get touched until November because (shhhhh) it doesn't rain much in the summer, and we don't water. It grows in the spring and fall (and sometimes I mow in January), but yeah, once every week or two, depending.

OTOH, I mowed two weeks ago, and it was already looking like it could use it again a week later. Spring is here.
There's a rumor that a new switch is due any week now for what its worth.
The end of the spillway with the enormous waterfall makes me uncomfortable since erosion back from that point working backwards along fissures to undermine the spillway basin seemed to be an aspect of design contributing to the previous failure. But presumably they have accounted for all that. It would be interesting to read the post-mortem of the previous failure and the challenging new engineering decisions behind the new design.

A large part of the effort in text summarization is in the quality of the stemmer. If you're working with English, you're golden, there are several high-quality stemmers available. However, if you're working in a language that doesn't have a stemmer yet, it's a colossal task to write one.
> In the real world, picking up a new language takes a few weeks of effort and after 6 to 12 months nobody will ever notice you haven’t been doing that one for your entire career.

Spoken as someone who has never taken the time to fully master a programming language and, from the sound of it, has never worked with someone who has either. The difference between someone who has spent 6-12 months with a language compared someone who has spent 6-12 years is night and day. From the general tone of the article, he obviously focuses more on the business value than on the technical side and that is a pretty good approach for making money. But I'll take Peter Norvig's advice (http://norvig.com/21-days.html) over this guys when it comes to mastering a language.

To be fair most of the content of those articles is pretty decent though and it is just a pet peeve of mine when people claim that mastery of your medium doesn't matter.

Yeah, they're a couple you can buy online [1]. Dobot came out one that looked nice and the mechanical spec sounds pretty decent [2]. But I hear the software is shitty so YMMV. They recently came out with an Arduino "AI" library so not sure if that's easier to program. If you want to go cheaper, Lynxmotion is the next one on the list. If you want to go super cheap, the LittleArm series is the way to go. I remember following them on Kickstarter and the owner (it's like a two man team) released a GUI that looked useful. It's coded in Processing which allows you to record the arm movement and playback.

But Perl is more than 20 years old. It was released in 1987. Even Perl 5 is 25 years old now. Now I do think Perl 6 is going to be around for a long time and will eventually fill the niche served by Perl 5 while being able to compete with modern languages.
Are you sure? From the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_European_Unio..., it looks to me as though Irish and Maltese supplement, not replace, English for the respective countries.
While most of the promise of 5g feels like overhype, this article has a bit of flat earth feel to it. For example, we’ve been trying to convert obsolete UHF frequencies to usable bandwidth for years only to find all sorts of reasons why it can’t be killed off. If 5g really threatened weather forecasting and radio astronomy I would think at minimum there would some sort of initiative to address it prior to a cutover - and yet, this article doesn’t seem to acknowledge such a thing exists so I’m left to conclude maybe the article is nothing more than a hypothetical what if that likely won’t have much impact in the real world. This is just my gut feel...
You can chain these things together and add middle names to make it even scarier.

Sorry if this is a naive question: Any chance we'll ever know how much Apple paid Qualcomm? How open are the books of each company? Can a public company settle a suit without revealing the terms?
Especially considering Apple's hiring of baseband chip engineers...
True, but we all know the people are so self-enlightened to not stick their neck out.

I've been wondering lately if the solution to politics (at least at the state and federal level) would be to have a two level representative democracy. Meaning instead of one person getting the vote for 700K people and being very bribe-able (1 of 435), you have one person actually at the legislature but they have a different role. They must negotiate based on another set of real representatives. They must collect facts and evaluate laws for this other set. These 14 (e.g.) people would be responsible for a much smaller number of people (50K) and have a much smaller geographical region. These 14 would be the ones who actually vote for/against the laws and the top level must cast their vote in their stead. The top level could also be elected and serve at the discretion of this set of 14. Each representative has a smaller sphere of influence and concern. Bribing (lobbying) becomes much harder since it goes up by a factor of 7 (or more). Gerrymandering becomes much much harder because of all the little sub-districts that would be created. It also helps give a truer voice of the people unlike certain states/districts where you may be blue in a sea of red or vice-versa. Of course, the powers that be would never let this happen but I think it is at least an interesting thought experiment.
I still don't want to host anyone else's content, for much the same reason I'm never going to have an unmoderated comment system on a site.
This understanding shows also the flexibility that unit tests brings to the development cycle: contrary to type checks, they can be temporarily disabled so as to shorten the iteration loop when necessary, and re-enabled after adjustments have been made.

Thoughts on Performance Optimization
Not OP, but the biographies of rabbis do seem to not conform to the wikipedia standards. I've just done a very cursory look over a smidge of the pages, and nothing that the OP mentions is occurring, per my very brief look at it.

That said, the style and tone of some of the bio pages isn't really the best. It is Wikipedia and you should assume that these lesser visited pages should not be super well polished. The talk pages seem to be pretty sparse as well. Though there is not be evidence of an 'agenda', the sniff test isn't really passed either, but you could say that of nearly any less popular page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbi_Meir

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moshe_Leib_Rabinovich

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dov_Ber_of_Mezeritch

That said, OP's claims are a bit incredulous and I would also like to see the pages myself.

This morning one of my Ph.D. students (Kevin Lui) said to me, "I may have to implement this [number theory] algorithm for my thesis using Magma, because [some number theory algorithm] is broken in Sage." My visible continued failure to make Sage a viable alternative to commercial closed source math software almost made me cry...
They will reveal to their respective board.

Public shareholders will never know anything.
It is better to focus on Octave, SageMath, SciPy, and Julia instead. Or to donate corresponding projects instead of buying a license of Mathematica. Of course it is an amazing software, but science, especially the core one - mathematics, should be open for everyone.

The main value of 5G as opposed to WiFi is that it comes with an entire system for roaming over different networks.

WiFi has no built-in system for authentication across different operators, no system for accounting usage, no system for ensuring trust.

This is what 3gpp brings. Their systems are hopelessly convoluted, and have some issues. However, it works.
A major problem with PNaCl, as far as I can tell, was the Pepper dependency. And, again as far as I can tell, Google never came up with a credible plan for solving that problem (e.g. by creating an actual implementable spec for Pepper).
Apple Settles Dispute with Qualcomm
Insiders describe chaos at Panasonic's battery operation for Tesla
Self-interest mandated this resolution. Both companies were risking more than they stood to gain by winning their various suits.

Who nominally 'won' will depend on whether Apple is paying what it considers reasonable royalties going forward and whether the patent agreements allow it to utilize Qualcomm's IP in their own chipsets.

If Qualcomm has given up on tying patents to chips then it has effectively lost. If they can maintain that position with everyone but Apple, they'll probably be OK with the outcome.

Apple was forced to the table by its partner (Intel) being unable to supply 5G in a timely manner, so it may very well had to give up more than it otherwise would have.
They might still develop their own baseband eventually, intermittently using Qualcomm to get to 5G.
1. Is anyone shocked?
2. The conversation on data privacy has got to start including some dialogue on actual value that's being given back to the consumer using the product. I don't think 'getting the opportunity to use the tool' or 'you can choose not to use Facebooks' hold a lot of water, because the consent process is flawed and not transparent. Not that it could ever conceivably happen, but imagine if you could visualize the ultimate monetization of your data by Facebook on sign up. There's just such a massive disconnect between what you get and how much you're profited from as a Facebook user.

I personally think the gp is full of crap. I’m trained as an engineer and worked in industry a few years. There is no issue of smartness or skill, and of course computers are necessary, but its ridiculous to think they are some magic box... In the US, engineering has become a relatively shit profession. Poor pay, poor work environment (congruent with the op), poor status. You can make tons more (not just a little more) working for a decent software tech company, finance, medicine. You have to really love what you’re doing to stay in engineering.

Notes:

- Apple pays Qualcomm a one time payment, no word on the size

- Qualcomm is up almost 18% while apple is flat which tells you who this affected more

- ends all ongoing litigation

- 6 year license and global patent license agreement that can be extended

NOTE global license here is important as there was talk of just a US based agreement before

- new chipset supply agreement so don't look for Apple designed chipsets just yet

- Qualcomm might be finally done with litigation. China fined it $975M and Korea hit it with an $865M fine. Though to be fair, both countries are hardly neutral in this and its very reasonable to see these fines as a form of tariffs to help their own domestic companies

- wasn't a court ordered agreement which means both sides came together to make this and it wasn't forced on them by the courts.

- Qualcomm reported incremental EPS of $2 on its website, that's a fair bit so this is probably a win for Qualcomm in the short term, note this doesn't mean its bad for apple.

- bring on the 5G iPhones now, perhaps this makes Samsung the biggest loser out of this as apple is now ready for the nextgen cell service and Qualcomm is no longer negotiation from a position of weakness

- QCOM's licensing model lives on, good for them, makes them a big takeout target now, could see $100 QCOM in that case, its at $70 now and was $57 at the start of the day.
We actually tried asking for more resources when the schedule was in "jeopardy" and were told that there weren't any available. They suggested we try working weekends to make up the shortfall.
If the article and other information is correct, they tried to breach a user named:
ftp
To me, it would make sense that that's not an actual person's username, and instead for it to be used for managerial duties (such as for an FTP server), and would likely have been accessed by more than one person. As such, it would make it an especially juicy target, because it would make the hacker a lot harder to trace, and would also not endanger any one person either. (It might make the IT department's life harder, but that's pretty much always the case in these scenarios.)

That addition was an incredible time savings in my average search, I'm very grateful.

A more prominent mention, and a sample script, would be very useful imho. Just googling for a way to do this for even just one of these file types yields inferior commercial solutions at best, often just nothing.

And while I'm not sure how to make it much faster from a search perspective, I was able to find a 40% improvement in invocation by switching from rgpre to rgg as my alais.

Why do we actually need 5g? Wired with last meter wifi is a lot better option imo for high bandwidth transfer
The term is now “microservices”.
It's appealing to think there's a trade-off but in my experience there really isn't. I've been writing C++ and Rust for about the same length of time (4.5 years) and it at least feels to me like I am much better at shipping software when I write it in Rust: the work is done more quickly and I am more confident in its correctness.
Yeah. Especially since I don't think there's a lot of access to the Seine side of the cathedral.
Agreed. Not to mention Mastodon could've a linkback to Keybase with all data pre-filled (username + instance name). For example in Settings a link "Connect with Keybase".
If you have a function that returns the first n elements of a vector, how do you make sure there are enough elements? Most languages would either insert a runtime check or throw an exception at runtime. With a dependently typed language, you can do the check statically. This means knowing the provenance of n and the vector itself and doing a compile time proof that n can never exceed the length of the vector.
It's often for code that is asynchronous that will not return an answer immediately... the function passing is most often used to send a callback for these situations.

Here's a study that looked at microwave absorption in insects at different frequencies (picture):

https://media.springernature.com/lw900/springer-static/image...

"All insects showed a general increase in absorbed RF power at and above 6 GHz, in comparison to the absorbed RF power below 6 GHz. Our simulations showed that a shift of 10% of the incident power density to frequencies above 6 GHz would lead to an increase in absorbed power between 3–370%."

Interesting topic and well written .. I kicked the tires a few times with newspaper3k https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper/ it has nlp and summary methods that work pretty well, I think I'll peek under the hood to see how it's being done there. Curious to see if your method is an improvement, if so, hey they're both in python!
as you say, the other thing is: what is “correct” today won’t necessarily be “correct” tomorrow

if it takes 2x or 3x to get to the next iteration then what’s the point... (again, assuming we aren’t talking pacemakers etc)

just my feeling, but these low level languages that try to have it both ways (working in the bit/byte realms, but also super high correctness) aren’t suitable for the realm of high iteration.... instead some high level language amenable to rapid iteration but still have high reliability should instead be built on top of something like rust but not necessarily _in_ it...

The Chromium Chronicle: Task Scheduling Best Practices
That might be a simple no, but let's look at what growth is. Increase in consumption, and there's still a lot to go when it comes for the economy to provide the basic stuff for a decent life.

Sure, if all that extra growth does not translate into increased well being for the median, or if it can't lift those out of poverty who need those efficiency gains that led to "growth", then, no, of course that growth is useless.

However. Growth is amoral, and most economists are trying to understand the economy, not normatively influence it. (Though there are a lot of oped and blogs by economists.) And how the economy works, how does that growth happens is not up to the "modern economy", it's up to people. Politics.

Modern economics is the religion of Cassandraism, anyone who understands what's going on is unable to persuade others. Look at how the Net Neutrality debate went down the drain, because somehow libertarian/dumb free market advocates can't comprehend that zero-touch no-regs complex systems have a tendency to end up in a pathological state. Or look at how people still can't believe that a bail-out was better for the economy short term, and how trying to do central planning without honest signals likely won't work.

And this doesn't mean that it's easy to figure out these things, or that there's a 100% idiot proof way to get magical silver-bullet solutions, far from it. But it seems pretty straightforward that blindly ignoring those who study these things all their lives and just repeating a mantra - be it socialism or libertarianism - is not exactly helpful.
How Many People Use AR Apps versus Web?
I don't know about generalizations across all "modern historians" but Biblical Minimalism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_minimalism) was a big trend in near Eastern archaeology. They had/have legit criticism of how modern definitions/attitudes taint our interpretation of the archaeological record.

But...ultimately, that view ignores that many of the places (and even some of the people) of the Biblical narrative from the 9th century BCE seem to roughly match the archeological record.

And even before that the record is simply incomplete or mixed, rather than directly contradicting the Biblical era of prophets and early kings.

For example, at the Elah Fortress site (10th century BC), there were no pig bones (unlike Philistine sites) and a fragmentary inscription that at least resembles the Israelite culture depicted by the Bible:

1 you shall not do [it], but worship (the god) [El]
2 Judge the sla[ve] and the wid[ow] / Judge the orph[an]
3 [and] the stranger. [Pl]ead for the infant / plead for the po[or and]
4 the widow. Rehabilitate [the poor] at the hands of the king
5 Protect the po[or and] the slave / [supp]ort the stranger.

This isn't evidence for the Bible (which makes lots of other unprovable magical claims) but rather evidence that parts of the Bible do accurately convey information about an ancient society.
Human fallacy, we all want it faster and more.

Bur for 99% of the cases, why would we need it?

IoT doesn't need 5G, it needs LiRa.

Streaming applications, I can stream with 4G.

50 ms latency with 4G, so what. Except for competitive multiplayer gaming perhaps, I don't see the issue. But I think they want everything wired ;)

Industrial applications, outside of IoT? Give me a valid example that needs countrywide coverage.

I hardly notice difference with 4G and my WiFi. Increase coverage for 4G, before implementing 5G.

Fyi:
4G offers maximum real-world download speeds up to 60Mbps. Currently, that is more than enough.
