Here [1] is an album showing the final product, and the build.

I cheated and used a TankStick, but now I wish I hadn't. I think I could have managed the wiring, and it would have gone a long way aesthetically to integrate it all.

I designed the cabinet myself, but that was inspired by the "Vigolix" design [2]. I scaled it up to a full 6', put in a lighted marquee, added a drawer for keyboard and mouse.

The gross assembly took me 4-5 days, but a total of about a month overall because of the time to paint, dry, and sand many coats. Plus, of course, the amount of time to set up the computer hardware and software.

I feel like we let new engineers down by not guiding them toward resources where they can improve their social/writing skills.

Where is the brilliant.org for social/emotional/communication skills?

Social skills are presented as an obvious thing and the lack thereof is grounds for ridicule and derision rather than pointers to resources. (Note: How to win Friends and Influence people is a good base, but the Harvard Negotiation Project has many more good books. Also, Charisma on Command is a great youtube resource)

We have them be taught writing by literature majors who insist there’s some meaning to blue curtains but can’t be bothered to explain why or what the principles behind making that judgement are. (Note: a great explanation of how symbolism works can be found by putting “extra credits symbolism” into google)
I once worked for eBay a long time ago, and support consisted of 4 concurrent chats, offering pre-programmed macros often pointing to terribly written documentation the person had already read and was confused about. If you took the time to actually assist somebody you were chastised in a weekly review where they went over your chat support. The person doing mine told me I had the highest satisfaction record in the entire company, and a 'unique gift of clear and concise conversation, like you're actually talking to them face to face' then said I'd be fired next week because my coworkers were knocking off hundreds of tickets a day just using automated responses, leaving their customers fuming in anger with low satisfaction ratings, as people are very aware of being fed automated responses but the goal was not real support, it was just clearing the tickets by any means possible. I decided to try half and half, so if the support question was written by somebody who obviously would not understand the documentation (grandma trying to sell a car), I would help them but just provide shit support to everybody else in the form of macros like my coworkers. Of course this was unacceptable and I got canned the next week as promised. Was an interesting experience, I can imagine DO having an insane scope to their support requests like 'what is postgresql'.

Anyway imho you should have taken the support position and schemed your way into development internally. This was my plan at eBay before they fired me, though they shut down the branch here a few months later and moved to the Philippines anyway so I wouldn't have lasted long regardless.
I've always thought this is a terrible CAPTCHA, not because it's hard but because one could reasonably write a bot that simply reverse image searches the movie poster and picks the closest response.
This seems like a poor answer to the wrong question. The problem is not that students are being preyed on by publishers, the real question is why they aren't publishing in reputable journals and conferences.

I was a volunteer for the IEEE SoutheastCon one year. It was amazing; almost none of the authors showed up for the conference. It was enough for them to get the publication and enough for the IEEE that they'd payed the registration fee.
I agree. When you see them IRL, luxury cars are inspiring, because they're engineered to be the best they can be, with attention to every detail. They may be impractical as transportation, but they're beautiful in many dimensions. They're not just about human capability, but about aspiration. The joy of being free on an open road, speeding past everyone else, not because one's better than them, but because it's possible.
I know exactly how much divergence there is because I'm the author of a chess engine and I've spent weeks/months looking at traces of my engine's tree searches.

I think what you're not getting is what a chess engine search tree looks like. You're thinking it has nice layers of nodes, but really, most of the time, the engine is in the quiescence search, searching sequences of captures. The branching factor is extremely low and each branch terminates at an unpredictable depth. Instead of nice layers of nodes, imagine a lightning bolt that's constantly changing. You can't predict what you're going to have to do next.

GPUs would excel if you have to do the same thing to different boards all at the same time. But that's never what happens. Imagine you're in the q-search and you're at a node with two captures. Might as well search both at the same time? Okay, a GPU can make two moves at the same time and evaluate the resulting positions simultaneously no problem. Maybe one evaluation causes the branch to terminate and then that thread needs to undo the move, whereas the other branch needs to keep going and generate and search subsequent moves. This sort of divergence is the norm, not the exception, and it's impossible to handle in any sort of efficient way with a GPU.

It's great that people have made GPU software to visit all possible positions to depth N, and it's great that somebody is making a MCTS engine run on a GPU. Both are tricky to do, and significant accomplishments if they work correctly. But in terms of making an effective engine these are just the absolute first initial baby steps and they don't signify anything about the viability of the rest of the project.
Again, I must disagree. If DO genuinely believed that you were doing something malicious and that data was harmful or evil for you to own (e.g. other people's SSN, etc) then they are in the "right" to deny access to it. DO should not be forced to aid bad actors.

And, regardless of what DO should or should not do, they can do whatever they want with their own hard drives. You should structure your business accordingly.
Although the time to completion seems quite disparate between Europe and US, the difference isn't nearly as stark as it appears.

Nearly all Europeans enter PhD programs with a Master's degree in hand. At least in psychology (my discipline), US PhD programs will admit candidates directly from undergraduate. The overall time from bachelor's to PhD is similar when you account for these differences.
Apply your own logic on yourself. Have you consideed that the arbitrary demand for constant action could itself be a mental disorder?
What do you mean "trigger". The interest rates that the Federal Reserve sets are done "manually". They don't rise and fall based on the supply or demand for money. If inflation (as measured by the Fed) increases and the Fed wants to lower it, they can decide to raise interest rates but it doesn't happen automatically.

According to this article [0], the Fed controls two of the three most important interest rates in the U.S. But if you look at their chart, all three rates have followed each other very closely since 2000. Although the Fed doesn't control the prime rate it seems that the prime rate doesn't deviate from what the Fed is doing very much.

Yes, it's a huge risk.

But if an immigrant has identities that would get them kicked out, disclosing them would just keep them out. And if any of those are readily discoverable, it's probably not worth even trying to get a visa or immigrate.

But if there are ~innocuous identities, it's best to disclose them. Unless there are links to not so innocuous ones.
Good riddance. iTunes went from one of my favorite music players, to an app I loathe to use every day at work just to listen to my Apple Music subscription.

Admittedly I don't find iOS' Music app that much better, so I'm pretty wary of iTunes' upcoming replacement.

I have no direct experience of the prison system but, from what I understand, Belmarsh is for Category A prisoners, part of the deal is that they get a helicopter flying above from the court room to the prison.

In the UK we also have open prisons, where they have nice gardens and the prisoners agree to stay on the prison side of the fence. Open prisons are for white collar criminals that have behaved themselves in general population prisons.

Belmarsh is an institution with a name that goes before it like how Guantanamo or US SuperMax prisons have a reputation.

A suitcase full of cocaine will get a mostly harmless gentleman classed as Category A and escorted to Belmarsh, apart from people doing the wrong things in the drugs trade you have to have killed someone or sent someone to hospital to be 'Category A' - worst of the worse.

Admittedly Assange might just stroll off an open prison, however, Belmarsh is a bit extreme, apart from anything else it makes him into this super-villain whereas the British state should have not bothered giving him and his ego the 'benefit' of that. I blame the Tory government for not getting this call right, they should have used standard procedures to put him in custody in a standard prison, category B, not Belmarsh.

Historically countries have had special prisons such as the Tower of London which are reserved for high profile threats to the status quo, or a place to lock up a leader from another country. It seems this antique way still continues, anyone who messes with the Official Secrets Act is probably resigned to jail anyway, so this is probably why it has to be Belmarsh.

Remember that guy who murdered scores of young adults on that island somewhere in Scandinavia a few years back and how he ended up in quite a posh prison where everything was nice? The British government should have such a place for political enemies. There is no reason to put the likes of Assange - love him or hate him - in with people who are known murderers.

Apart from anything else the acting government run the risk of ending up in prison themselves. The former chair of the Tory party - Jeffrey Archer - had to be sent to jail a few years back. I think he too had a stint in Belmarsh. A lot of people would like to see Tny Blir in jail too - or just executed - and more recent Tory leaders have been in dubious legal territory with adventures in Libya. They could all be given the Belmarsh treatment as the situation currently stands, you would think they would have a Norway style nice prison just in case they end up there themselves.

The rapporteur has addressed that. He took medical professionals with him and their assessment is he is gravely ill. The specifics won't be made public, as that would violate his privacy, however they have been clear that he is suffering the effects of sustained psychological abuse amounting to torture and that this is most certainly not an act, in their opinion.

I believe that in the embassy he had a chronic cough and a lot of pain in a shoulder (both potentially signs of lung cancer). But that is all I know that has been publicly released.

One other piece of data is that he is said to be somewhat unable to hold a conversation.

Wouldn't it be somewhat better to maintain a list of international peer reviewed papers for each discipline?

How to Reverse Gray Hair Naturally
It depends on the version, but you can really trick out iPods. I've got an iPod Video (5.5) with an iFlash Quad [1] (up to 4x micro SD cards) with a 2000mAh battery, running Rockbox [2]

I also replaced the rear panel since I didn't need the beefy 80gb version, and also the lock / headphone jack so they were both solid black.

Rockbox is excellent because it runs off of a basic folder structure, but also has a library option.

You can do the iFlash mod and still use iTunes / the original OS if you like, but Rockbox has proven to be superior in all ways.

If you're on a Mac, be sure to format the main card with a Windows box so its Fat32.

Beethoven goes under Beethoven. No one groups stuff by orchestra.

And just because a media player respects your filesystem doesn't mean you can't search by the metadata in the Mp3s. This is extra-helpful when you realize not all Mp3s have metadata. In that case, such search routines will just pass it by.

This incident is much larger than just the three FLIR videos, these objects were seen on multiple days, with both east and west coast incidents, at multiple vantage points. Forget TTSA as the source, are you really discounting these credible eyewitnesses testimonies from multiple vantage points? This goes well beyond just FLIR video, new radar technology was being deployed in both incidents and it flew by multiple aircraft at close proximity on multiple days. You'd think at some point an human eyeball would have recognized a bird.

https://youtu.be/PRgoisHRmUE (recreation of ONE of the west coast incident starts at around 9:00 in)

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/28231/multiple-f-a-18-... (new tech, east coast)

Even if you buy these skeptical writ-ups which only focus on FLIR videos and not the accounts of the whole incidents on multiple occasions, exactly what bird would fly at 48 mph that far off the coast of CA and be that 2 meters large? Even at 4 ft in length, a brown pelican averages only ~25 mph. The only other likely species at that size is an Albatross, however only 3 albatross species exist in the northern pacific and none of them fit the length: Short-tailed albatross, Black-footed albatross, Laysan albatross. Plus, a pelican only reaches 10,000+ riding thermals, which you wont find that far out into the ocean. What kind of bird can fly instantly back to a CAP position or ascend from 50 ft to 20,000 ft instantly?

These writ-ups debunking the incident are pretty tunnel visioned.

Without reading the bill, not necessarily.

It's entirely feasible to have two classes of customers, right? One that agreed to the provision, and one that didn't. One that gets a 500GB data cap, and one that gets 150GB, say.

Just because you serve a customer doesn't mean you must serve them equally. Afterall, technically, they are serving the customer, right?
iTunes was so finicky to get music onto iPods with. I prefer mounting the drive as a folder and copying manually. Android easily does this but it feels like a struggle with iTunes.

Hopefully any successor will be like Android.
I'm still annoyed how long it took to get "featuring" to be a common tag.

An album like 2.0 by Big Data would create 10 different distinct "artists" in most music players:

Big Data and White Sea

Big Data and Joywave

Big Data and Jamie Lidell

Big Data and Kimbra

Big Data and Rivers Cuomo

Big Data

Big Data and Jenn Wasner

Big Data and Dragonette

Big Data and Bear Hands

Big Data and Twin Shadow

Even Amazon Music had this problem up until 2018 or so, when my library collapsed from nearly 2000 "artists" to ~300 actual.
Generally they do build two - one as a ground testbed for interpreting diagnostic data, trying to reproduce issues, and testing software changes/commands.

However, at the very low rates we're talking, everything is (damn near) hand-built. Economies of scale don't kick in until higher volumes.
Just on a tangent, it's amazing how huge the spruce goose is.

I've always seen this as an over-simplification that leads down an incorrect path of thinking. It "doesn't exist" if you think the only thing that has an effect on the economy is the number of dollars in circulation at a given instant. A person that has money saved may behave differently in the economy vs that same person with no money saved. They may buy different things or take bigger financial risks with the money they are spending.
And what if Google sued my startup for copying their API or just mocking some APIs for testing?
As pointed out, iTunes predates the iPod.

The major things that changed after the iPod was released: adding online music sales, switching from FireWire to USB for all the people stuck with the slower Windows hardware interface, and iTunes for Windows.

None of those changed the core iPod design; I don’t think the first one failed in any meaningful way.
You don't need to use containers for that.. all you have to do is set up a warm replica of the service with another provider. The fail over doesn't even have to be automatic, but that is the minimum amount of redundancy any production SaaS should have.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Point 2 is very relevant. Scaling instances due to sudden peaks should be totally safe. Even when automated. Guess AWS is still lonely at the top.
Having paid substantial amounts for various services over the years, paying hundreds of dollars per month doesn't automatically make you into a priority.

There seems to be a sweet spot for company size here. Too small companies can't support you even though they really want to. Large companies are busy chasing millions in big contracts, and don't really care about your $800 per month at all.
They are denying it. Time will tell..

This is indeed tragic. For decades, I've been warning people to compartmentalize everything. With as much overkill as they can manage. But my reach is miniscule, and most people find it too inconvenient.

And it does mess up ones life. I'd love to share with family and meatspace friends about my online life. But I don't. Not even with my wife. So I just play dumb. At my age, it's plausible. But for young people, it would be hard.
This. It's fairly easy to setup from the provider side and easily solves this problem. Rate limits are fairly easy and can be automated based on criteria like account length/payment/abuse incidents. I think disabling the account is a little heavy handed unless it's brand new

Can't be. Only 3 albatross species exist in the northern pacific and none of them fit the length: Short-tailed albatross, Black-footed albatross, Laysan albatross. None of which are long enough head to tail.

The only other explanation is a Brown Pelican, which is too slow average 25 mph.
