He told me he didn’t have a lot of confidence in the Sparrow. They eventually got some aircraft with guns but never used them; despite Top Gun school something like 90% Of his flights were ground attack missions.
I've replaced the article title with the HTML doc title. Maybe that's less baity, although it doesn't answer the question.
"A CPAP machines costs about 10x as much as it should, and a part of that is insurance companies wanting to make sure they are not paying for a device you are not using."

If you look just at BOM, I am sure my insulin pump must seem the same way (about $3500); but the technical support from Medtronic is top notch and the devices are not mass market; probably only about 100,000 of them each year (just based on a 4 year warranty period, which is when your insurance covers them, and a quick google showing about 350,000 on them).

I do think there is a bit of a razor blade model here though, given that the consumables will cost nearly as much as the pump over the course of a year.
Yeah it’s been all good for me. Also solved the fairly frequent nosebloods I used to get with the humidity
Yeah, I'm trying to stay away from scrapping, parsing, and that whole mess. Right now I'm relying on Yahoo Finance undocumented API and possibly IEX Cloud in the future.
Microsoft needed Mac so they wouldn't become a full on Monopoly. Just like Intel needs amd to exist.
alpine.js or intecooler.js will neglate the need for vue.js altogether. I have moved away from the SPA approach even though I have worked as frontend dev. html rendered on the server all the way with sprinkles of js.
So after years of an effective Intel monopoly I'm really glad to see AMD is back in a way that I don't think I've seen since the Athlon64/Opteron days. Back then it was AMD who pushed the x86-64 instruction set when Intel was claiming EPIC was the future (ha).

At this point, Intel's move to 10nm processes is an embarrassment. I'm sure it's a difficult problem but historically Intel has been reasonably good at planning process advancements but in the case of 10nm they've been off by years. I believe the original goal was 2017? And we're still not there yet.

I would dearly love to see an honest postmortem of this and see what went wrong. Who made promises they'd miss by so much, why, what the issues were and so on.

The last PC I built (because apparently I still do that, even though it annoys me no end) has an Intel 9700 in it. At the time that was probably the best choice. 6 months later and it would no doubt have been a Ryzen.

I hope AMD keeps this up as we need the competition.
Latency issues, I am guessing....
Will we prefer to touch each other via haptics-enabled avatars, post-pandemic?
To continue the metaphor, the table stakes at the tables that provide the big payoffs require the average person to go "all-in".

Whereas a billionaire usually gambles on the margins of their wealth. They definitely don't gamble with the roof over their head or their next meal, or their childrens' security. They can make any non-ergodic game appear ergodic for longer since they can survive many losing hands for far longer than others.
> The Teslas have good double-precision performance - but they are priced waaaay higher than the consumer cards.

Yup - the Tesla V100 is 7 TFLOPs of double-precision at around ~$9000

A huge split between consumer & HPC happened in the aftermath of the Fermi (2010) architecture. Fermi was really bad in the consumer space from all the wasted die spent on unused double-precision. It was late, hot, and loud. And barely even faster than the competition.

With Maxwell Nvidia basically removed all the FP64 support from the architecture itself ( https://www.anandtech.com/show/9059/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-t... - native FP64 rate is 1/32'd the FP32 rate) - the result was a huge boost to gaming performance. But it also meant that HPC users who want double-precision had to use Tesla cards. The actual architectures between GeForce & Tesla are different now, it's not "just" a lockout anymore.
You are being too generous. WeWork is a get rich quick company masquerading as a real estate company.
There's a really good, really old (like 25+ years old) episode of Nova called "TopGun and Beyond" where a Viet Nam era fighter pilot said exactly that.

Then he goes on to describe an engagement where the MiG didn't :-)

Found it on YouTube. Yay!! Now I don't have to watch my poorly-recorded-from-broadcast-TV VHS version.

Reducing the friction of finding a lawn care company to maintain your lawn for the customer and for the lawn care company, reducing the friction of finding customers. 1-800-dentist is a good example in a non-technology driven scenario. They paired potential patients with dentists for a slice of the pie. There are whole industries that just connect customers with people selling things like real estate.

Lawn mowing tech company's competitor is really other adverting platforms and mediums that lawn care companies use to acquire customers. Thats the pie they are eating. 1-800 dentists biggest competitor was the yellow pages in the phonebook.
This sounds like a really nice idea that is 20 years away from being a horrific disenfranchising one. Owning the land is an important piece of wealth transfer from generation to generation. This reminds me of the situation in NC and other parts of the south where minority communities are starting to lose control of the land there families due to a bunch of loop holes. There the problem is that due to lack of paper trails ownership is murky and often reverts back to the city who then sells it away to the highest bidder (often developers who displace the people who have been there). What happens 20 - 30 years from now when this non profit has shuttered and the land is now owned by some random bank? It's great that the land lease is transferable to heirs but this just has all the makings of a looming disasters
You're not crazy. It was very clear from the way the situation was handled even a month ago that CA and NY governors are not wasting time with this good crisis, and are using it for their political gain. The rampant fear mongering was used to overblow the severity of the situation and sell the idea of locking down hard before it's too late, completely disregarding the economy fallout, all the while projecting the image of Strong Leaders and Saviors of the Nation. A bit of too late for this election year (if elections are not postponed, that is!) but definitely will be useful for the next election cycle.

The actual data did not support the apocalyptic prognoses then and it looks even more at contrast with what is going on now. But good luck explaining that to a bunch of people scared to death because of the constant hammering of ZOMG PEOPLE ARE DYING!!!!111 from the news.

All in all it's a #FakeApocalypse. As it was obvious two months ago.

>"It has to be done with a strategic framework and a tactical method that is ... smart enough to allow us to continue and not run afoul of the Nazis who are in front of us and behind us everywhere," Winkler said, according to the audio reviewed by NPR and verified by others. "And that's who they are. And we should have no illusions about it."

NPR's publication of this will surely lead to CCP pressure against Winkler, who will see him as a spy intent on leaking reportage out through other channels. And the world may lose still another channel of factual info out of China.

One wonders how NPR management rationalized inclusion of this particular quote as being in the public interest.
Humans are not immune to inertia.
The WHO arguably made the pandemic worse by discouraging the use of masks, propagating information that turned out to be false and dangerous saying there was no human-to-human interaction and generally sided with china in the informational flow.

Easier to ignore the WHO if you don't give them any money.
I think a lot of scammers don't start out as calculated liars. They're people who are good at talking big and promising the moon, but they get in over their heads. They weren't sure what they were saying is false, but neither did they do the work to be sure what they were saying is true.

Ultimately, I don't think it matters. Whether they meant to or not, they're running a scam.
IMO the biggest difference between the two is self-hosting which makes sense for the price difference.

Even setting that aside, SSO is a feature which is very meaningful to businesses and relatively meaningless to individuals. Because of that its often used to differentiate between the customers. This differentiation results in individuals getting a discount at the expense of the businesses; which to me makes sense.
If true, my guess: little need for the feature, and an understandable reluctance to make the fuze any more complicated than necessary, especially as failures or inadequacies in various sorts of fuze or triggering device have repeatedly caused serious problems with naval ordnance. See: early-war American WWII torpedos basically just not working, British AP shells in the WWI Battle of Jutland detonating too early and so being far less effective than they should have been.

Kinda exciting to know that the Gradius Option is finally becoming a reality.
There is almost no way to make it big from bottom with just playing safe. Bigger the uncertainty bigger the upside potential.
I don't mean to start a flame thread, but people moved away from Apache precisely because it's too heavy and slow. Nginx should work much more smoothly, unless there's some dynamic backend bottlenecking instead (and even then, Nginx' buffering frees up the backend faster).
In general, Cortex will be significantly cheaper because you're only paying AWS for EC2 (the bulk of the bill) and the other AWS services used (a much smaller portion of the bill). With SageMaker, you're paying the EC2 bill plus a ~40% premium.

To keep the AWS bill as low as possible, Cortex supports inference on spot instances, which are unused instances that AWS sells at a steep (as in 90%) discount. The drawback is that AWS can reclaim the instance when needed, but with ML inference failover isn't as big of a deal, since you typically don't need to preserve state.

If you use spot instances, choose the cheapest instance type possible, and keep your autoscalers minimum replicas to 1 (meaning it won't keep many replicas idling), you should be able to deploy the model pretty cheaply. Significantly cheaper than with SageMaker, at the very least.

There's some more info here: https://www.cortex.dev/cluster-management/spot-instances
R + pandoc + yaml + markdown + quite a few custom build scripts... it seems like LaTeX is simpler in the end.

Could you summarize "why not just use LaTeX?"

Big fan of keycloak (and gatekeeper!) and looking into this issue now: I have an app (foo) which the user calls through a web frontend. Foo then has to call bar, massage bar's response, then return that to the user. How should I manage tokens that way? So far I have 2 ideas

(1) Have foo request expanded scope for tokens, including scope for bar. Use that same access token to access bar. For this, I'm concerned that if foo needs to use the access token for a longer time and it expires, then should foo do the refreshing independently of gatekeeper? Is there a way to update gatekeeper with a new token?

(2) Have some way of exchanging the user's token for foo, with a user's token for bar. Can keycloak do this? Can I still use gatekeeper for this?
I wish this kind of hard bargaining is postponed till the present crisis is over. A lot of poor people in the world are eager to get back to their normal lives and livelihoods. WHO has been proactive, even though late, in co-ordinating with governments to get serious with their actions.
80’s hardware startups took plenty of patient science/engineering risk.

Impatient startup behavior is a relatively recent phenomenon and even today there are plenty of startups that ask for multiple years of R&D work.
One thing about Kaiser CA, they’re very proactive about OSA. Free take home test rig (must be back by 9am), and the sleep specialist pushed a higher end CPAP, 3 masks, 3 pillow types into my hands and said I’d get a 10% copay call. Followup on choosing right mask/pillow, and when my machine starting whistling after 4 years, doc emailed the sleep specialist and they gave me a new machine with no copay. No telemetry.

Think I’ve spent $120 for the machines, the headgear costs (supplier) are overpriced. But you can look for one of those online shops and wait for 4-pack specials, got 16 pillows for $150. Not an expense I can complain about.
Probably some sort of safety reason .
1. The reason I asked was because I remember reading the proposal as N2030[1] and N1451[2] a while back. Were these never actually presented for voting? (not sure how the commitee works)

I think the issue is that many of these "obviously incorrect" things are not obvious at the level that the optimizations are taking place. Perhaps it would be worth considering adding higher-level passes in the compiler that can detect these kinds of surprising changes and warn about them.

Just to expand on this, below is some of the core logic for converting Django forms to React elements.

I'm not going to apologise for my crap code - I'm not creating art I'm making my own applications.

The thing to understand is that I actually do an XMLHTTPrequest to get the Django form and then in JavaScript a create a new separate DOM and put the form and its data in that. In React onchange events in the field I update that DOM that contains the form and its data. When I want to submit back to Django I submit the form from that DOM.

There's more to it than the code here but it should give you an idea:

ASP.Net has moved on a bit and can now be hosted on Linux or Mac. ASP.Net Core 3.1, which will become the all-new integrated ASP.Net 5 at the end of the year, offers a much more mature developer experience without all the MS lock-in (MS SQL Server / Windows IIS etc.). The free version of Visual Basic actually runs pretty well on Mac OS X.
I wonder what a Toki Pona for computer programming would look like.

Hi, I have two questions.

1) Are there any plans or discussions on having a subset/extension of C that is designed for formal verification? Much like SPARK with ADA.

2) Is there no plan to support GC? Even as an extension of C?
Agree on the lack of documentation. But one thing I've found really nice is that the source code is really well structured and readable. Every time the documentation has let me down I've been able to find what I needed by reading the source code. That's one of the great underrated advantages of using open source solutions, you're not completely hamstrung when the docs don't give you what you need.
Not from US and dont know the topic in depth, but I like this idea that instead of not engaging with your government, you earn their money and actively help / fund action to reverse its course. After all that is or should be how is works in a democratic country.
No, your comment just doesn't make sense. Lightbulb manufacturers are not responsible for wars because tanks have lightbulbs in them, and GitHub is not responsible for all the harm in the world either because some bad actors use GitHub.
In the meantime, depending on your local climate you can probably do quite well just by growing things you might have in the pantry.

Many things will grow directly if you just plant them - including garlic, ginger, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, onions, shallots.

Other things you can get the seeds out (you might need to google a bit of prep for some of them) - chilies, tomatoes, peppers/capsicum/bell peppers, pumpkin, cucumber, and eggplants/aubergines.

I'm certainly not an experienced gardener but have had success with all of the above except eggplant/aubergine which I've only just started trying and potatoes which I believe take a bit more effort than I'm prepared to do.

The F21 is powered by a new generation of silver oxide-aluminium (AgO-Al) sea-water primary battery using dissolved sodium dioxide powder as electrolyte and incorporating a new electronic closed loop electrolyte circulation system.

In comparison with silverzinc and other technologies, AgO-Al energy density is unrivalled. It ensures both maximum speed beyond 50 knots and endurance around 1 hour without compromising safety.

TIL: A silver-oxide battery (IEC code: S) is a primary cell with a very high energy-to-weight ratio. They are available in small sizes as button cells, where the amount of silver used is minimal and not a significant contributor to the product cost.

I've never built a drone yet but I've tried to do a lot of reading, and I don't understand why everything assumes that you have an R/C transmitter in your hand, and then at some point "throw the switch" and make it autonomous.

Isn't the entire point of these things that they fly themselves? That's why we call them drones and not R/C helis, right?

Why can't I just click "go" on my GUI, and never purchase a TX? Or can I and the distinction just isn't explained in a place that I've found it?
My guess it's to prevent accidents by using kill boxes, especially when they fight in groups.
I guarantee that this move had absolutely nothing to do with competitors and everything to do with Microsofts new rise to dominance. Coding is going to be the next blue-collar job, they are positioning themselves to do well when we reach that inflection point.
Okay, you read the email and think it says 'maybe a big swing'. what do you do?
Most mashups remove my beard, more sample cases would be great.
Thanks for sharing! Interested to try this out
I learned from an electrical engineer that works on systems for the power grid that running the whole OS in CPU cache is a requirement for some of those systems. I guess that makes sense when you are working with things that move at the speed of electricity.

McDonalds makes some of the worlds most amazing food, in one of the worlds most amazing restaurants, why would we judge?

To not be part of that, and to not understand that, would be living a hermit experience, which is interesting in itself, but you certainly could not claim to have any basic understanding of the world if you've never even installed a Fast Food app.

An environment full of misleading information doesn't satisfy intellectual curiosity. It penalizes it. And a one-sided discussion about Stephen Wolfram is highly misleading -- even worse than no discussion at all. So I stand by what I said earlier. If you can't stand to hear the case against Stephen Wolfram then kill this thread.
The lanes come from the CPU you put into the board, not the board itself. Although yes they are still cheap, at least if you go with something like the EPYC 7252 at ~$500 (which still has the full 128 PCI-E 4.0 lanes)

That said I have no idea how you would actually feed that many PCI-E lanes with an EPYC 7252, but if you can pull it off it's an insane $/lane value.
Then it's up to you. You can buy the dip, sell whatever.
Yeah this is something I’m wondering too. I’m on a CPAP, not sure if I could get approved for a bipap or not. I run quite high pressure for straight CPAP (range from 18.8 up the machines max of 20). Some nights I peak around 19.6 but other nights will
Max it out. Most bipaps will go up to 25.
Not OP, but statistical significance has to do with how _sure_ you are that there is an effect. It doesn't really say anything about how _large_ the effect is.

It's pretty obvious that gender can't be a top predictor of memory, intelligence, etc. The reason is that even if there is a definite difference where males are better than females, it'd be a modest delta between two bell curves. That would leave huge numbers of pairings in which a female had better memory than a male, etc.
Poverty is also thought to have caused the diffidence in performance in the marshmallow test[1]. Poor kids learn to take advantage of the moment and distrust the future. And poor kids tend to be lower earners in later life than wealthier kids due to advantage differences[2][3]

This plan also ignores the question of the majority of people who have likely been infected with no symptoms that could be identified with widespread Serology/Antibody tests. I find it alarming that this plan ignores that, is the governor priming is for population wide vaccination that is likely to be unnecessary? If we confirm widespread recovery and immunity then larger numbers of people can get back to life as usual quite soon.

That it's a type of attack (and potentially coercion) relevantly distinct from physical violence. Hence why I found your definition of coercion as initiating physical violence oddly narrow.
It's also not like politicians are busy working on a cure. Almost their sole job right now is to communicate an exit strategy. And they can't even properly align text on slides (I don't actually care about that except as a symbol of how little attention to detail they put into this).
