The part that the Intel fixes makes slow is the mode switch, since you need to flush caches and trash data that may leak. Making it async doubles (at minimum) the number of mode switches needed to do work.
What's the effect of different CRI on humans? I'm curious what the difference is between good and bad CRI, and if a person would be able to notice it.

Hdmi-cec is a classic. The implementation on many TVs is riddled with bugs.
Many things that you describe could be fixed - nitpicking, non-technical people getting frustrated with bugs, poor feedback, burnout, feeling like you cannot work with a team lead.... those things happen, and can be fixed, with effort.

But is this team worth that effort? If you have been working at this for "a few years", and the company is still early stage, that is a bad sign. If the founders and team lead cannot solve the problems, that is a bad sign. If you created a solution that can make millions, but it isn't doing so, then the team doesn't know what to do with it. Another bad sign.

But those bad signs could also be poor interpretations of events, distorted by your own burnout.

My advice is to really think about whether you respect this team enough to work through problems with them. Are your complaints really about them, or just reflections of your own frustrations?

And then, depending on that answer, either sit down and tell them your frustrations and ask them to figure out a path to a healthier working relationship.... or walk out.
I hear this speculated a lot; is there any proof of this being done in the wild? Not trying to discredit, I think it's perfectly plausible, I'm just curious if any companies have been caught doing it

> What am I missing that makes HDMI cables doubling as ethernet cables a problem for blocking it from accessing the network?

You block the TV from accessing the network.

You connect the TV to a device that will let you stream Netflix, via HDMI.

The TV requests internet connectivity over HDMI through that device automatically.

Blocking the network access to the TV has now been worked around and no longer matters.
Your point is valid, but Liaison allows you to build different layers if you wish.

This is not how DBS is done.

The patient is conscious (and possibly performing some task) during the procedure of inserting the electrodes to ensure that they're not positioned in a way that damages any critical functionality.

The 'do you feel better now?' part comes when the signal generator hooked up to those electrodes is being tuned post-op.

The article makes clear that it's the generated signal (maybe in combination with electrode placement, they're unsure) that's interfering with the ability to swim. Turning off the generator allows the individual to swim again.

More fine-grained implants like neuralink can't come soon enough.

How do you know anyone isn’t a robot who can fake eat?

This is the premise of the short story. The robot politician pretends to eat in order to trick his opponents who are trying to out him as a robot by proving he can’t eat.

Spoilers: they then try to trick the robot into violating the three laws of robotics. He ends up tricking his opponents by having another robot attack him, letting him freely defend himself when he otherwise wouldn’t be able to (since robots can’t harm humans).

It’s a fantastic story. Well worth the read. My description doesn’t do it justice.
Agree that's it not a good idea .. but the problem is one of investment as much as innovation.

I bought some LEDs on Amazon and uploaded charts showing the wavelength distribution. The LEDs were awful and the charts made it very clear why. Amazon deleted my review and the item currently has 5 stars.

The best lights I have are some warm white LED strips from eBay. I glued them to the top of my workbench (it's a desk under some shelves basically) and it is a joy to work there. I measured them and they are pretty close to daylight in terms of CRI, something like 93 if I recall correctly.

The only thing that makes me unhappy is the current state of LED strip driving. I have a device that takes 120VAC and turns it into 12V for the light strips. It "interprets" the output of a triac dimmer in front of it to PWM the LEDs. Very wasteful and stupid, but there are no constant-current drivers that just let you use something to adjust the current output unless you build your own. (A friend of mine did just that; the lights are amazing.) PWM naturally causes the cheap capacitors in the DC/DC converter to make noise, so I pretty much never dim them.
I've been the founders in this situation. Go to the founders. It sounds like they tried to hire a Bad Guy TM to get things "under control" and that person is now too controlling now that context has been built and people have leveled up. Your feelings and frustrations are valid. If they are good founders, they'll deal with this person. If not, leave.

The corn cob bulbs are very hard on the eyes unless you have some kind of diffuser.

I found a better solution is a 1 to 7 bulb splitter with 7 150W equivalent bulbs for a total of about 15000 lumens.

I'd be curious trying a spotlight (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Primelux-8-inch-14400-Lumens-Driving/...) that is farther away from me.

The parallel rays of a spotlight would probably look and feel more sun like compared to the radial rays of normal bulbs.
For now, Liaison is JS-focused. So both the frontend and the backend have to be implemented in JS.

> The lamp flickers when other current-hungry appliances turn on

That should not happen. There is likely a problem somewhere in the electrical system. We used to have similar problems in our home, hired an electrician to help track it down... they gave our home a clean bill of health, but called the city... long story short, they found a problem in a transformer a couple blocks away from us. It had been impacting many homes, and they were shocked nobody had call it in as a problem before us. But apparently, everyone just thought, "Oh, flickers are normal when appliances kick on, right?"

The whole thing is pretty ingenious, but the way the internal pressure helps vent the can while the tab is acting as a second class lever, then as soon as it’s vented becomes a first class lever to push the scored section of the top into the can — that’s great engineering.

You're going to be awake for 16 hours on the average day. We get 9 hours of daylight a day in New York in the winter, so some portion of that is going to be spent in darkness no matter how wonderful your windows are.

In the summer, things are much better; 16 hours of daylight. So you really can put yourself on a schedule where the appearance of light wakes you up and its disappearance puts you to sleep.

I say how to think critically: problem solving, not always accepting the status quo, don't take things at face value (photoshops, or fake news), think about what motivates other people (when negotiating etc), learning self-independence.

Maybe some of those things can't be taught effectively at school, but I sure don't think most kids are learning that stuff at home. Perhaps your school might sponsor a Scouts BSA program? A lot of the character development stuff can be taught that way.

Those are all true facts, but if someone wants a smart non-Apple/Android phone for whatever reason, there are equally convincing logical reasons for why, for that person, your listed facts are irrelevant and why other facts would be more compelling. Note that I’m not arguing that you are wrong; I make the same argument to a person on the other side who would be listing facts about why getting a Librem 5 phone is the best thing ever, and those would all be true facts, too.

Your facts are the most compelling for you, since you’ve decided not to get a Librem 5 phone. If it were otherwise, you would have listed different facts.

Facts do not make people change their opinion.

I usually eschew labels, preferring simply "sleep weirdo", but I fit the pattern of "Non-24 Sleep-Wake Disorder", with my sleep and waking times drifting progressively later at semi-regular intervals. The result is that I'm often awake through the night. (This week I'm going to bed around 9:00 a.m.)

Even with that, I've noticed some pretty big productivity swings based on the season. Interestingly, this hit me very hard in moving from where I'm from (southern Texas) to Michigan (for college) and then to Berlin (for the last 14 years). Right now, in Berlin, which is approximately as far north as Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, North America's northernmost large city, the sun sets before 4:00 p.m.

I usually try to spend a month of winter closer to the equator to keep my productivity levels and spirits up.

Between the seasonal adjustment (where the sunset time swings by a full 7 hours in Berlin) and my sleep weirdo-ness, I've also come to love me some artificial-sun-level lighting.

I tend towards 400-500 watt halogen bulbs. I have an up-firing light of approximately that wattage in every room of my home.

A question for other folks that compensate sunlight with artificial lighting:

Do LEDs really work for you? I'm a wanna-be hippie, and I'd love to use energy efficient bulbs and have tried every generation of them, but the light just doesn't do it for me. I keep going back to halogen as the sweet-spot between black-body radiation and energy efficiency. I can immediately spot the difference between an LED or CFL and incandescent bulb. I've had some success in mixing them in about 50/50 ratios. They've already been banned for sale in the EU, but I have a stockpile that will last me a decade in a pinch. Does anyone else struggle with the light quality from modern lighting?

Finding videos to learn from on YouTube. Everything (including how to discover and use other kinds of resources) is taught the best way there already. Chances to find a teacher able to explain the things better than people do on YouTube are negligible.

The whole job a school is to do nowadays is to motivate, answer specific questions and connect young people.

I really don't understand why are kids supposed to waste time with mediocre teachers (provided they even manage to get into a tolerable school, many have not a chance given where they live and how much do their parents earn) when there are great educators lecturing for everybody online. The problem, however, is many don't even know they can find great educational content on YouTube so they only use it to watch the stupid stuff.

I’d like to think that would be a CFAA violation, but I’m probably overly optimistic.
While LEDs do produce some waste heat, efficient ones convert 50%+ of the input power to visible light, so it's less than you might think (compare to ~10% for incandescents, iirc). The bulb I have doesn't have a perceptible effect on my room temperature (although I guess it probably does cause the thermostat to turn on a tiny bit less often).
The first lunar landings were in 1966, and didn't have computers on board. Certainly, it was possible to land without a human or even a computer.

What you want is, first, a strong source and second parallel rays (not radial rays like omnidirectional light bulbs). The later is the hard part. Because of conservation of etendue, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etendue#Conservation_of_etendu...) it's difficult to have very parallel rays unless the source is small and/or far away. Most spotlights still have relatively wide angles of radiation. I wonder if something like this might work if well placed: https://www.amazon.com/Primelux-8-inch-14400-Lumens-Driving/...

I feel you, but bankers do not owe lone developers anything. If you want to see something exist in this world, you need to figure a way to make it happen. There have been many new technologies that have been brought into this world by people with close to nothing. In fact, not having the funding (initially) may be a good first test. If you really think it should exist, then it is on you to find the time to make it happen.

Yes and no. Motors pull a much higher current when they're starting up than when they're running, so your wall socket voltage is going to dip when you start a motor. That said, it shouldn't dip enough to be particularly noticeable, and if it is then that can point to a problem in your power supply or wiring.

Thanks for the interesting link on IVM - I hadn’t heard about that work. Crikey, it’s a humbling one to solve generally reading through that page.

I have a case of this where I do the incremental updates myself. In my case, figuring out which rows have changed isn’t that tough, I’ve got time stamps to lean on that simplify the process. More complex is that even plucking the data for a single row is slow if you’re not careful. I have a number of large subqueries that Postgres doesn’t optimise well if I just restrict the rows once in the outer query. Instead I need to be very specific with my restrictions in a number of duplicated locations throughout the query to get fast incremental updates. It works well now it’s up and running but it’s a little clumsy to set up.
