Remember Iridium? Motorola marketed it as a cellphone network for business people... in the 90s. Of course no one was paying attention. People really believed that it would be possible to transmit to LEO from inside an office building (faraday cage) using a tiny radio, powered by a battery small enough to be held in your hand... in 1997.

So Iridium Communications went bankrupt, almost instantly, after spending 5 BILLION dollars to launch a constellation of satellites into the sky. It was all other people's money, but still. For what? Why the hell would they do that? Surely someone would have noticed that their target market didn't actually exist.

One thing about Iridium was that it was launched from multiple places: Vandenberg Air Base, U.S.A; Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia; and Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, China. Now one of these countries is not like the others. At the time China did not have MIRV technology, but such was needed in order for Iridium to launch: they threw up 66 satellites on 22 rockets. So Iridium Comm, and Motorola lobbied the government for special waivers from the president and got personnel from the pentagon to transport the MIRVs to the launch site on the chinese mainland. That last measure was supposed to prevent the secret military technology from being transferred to the Chinese. It didn't. Here's an excerpt from House Report 104-851 from May, 1999:

"In May 1998, allegations were made that Motorola had provided the PRC with technology that would allow it to build a multiple, independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) missile-dispensing platform. The allegations were that the Smart Dispenser used by the PRC to place two Iridium communications satellites into orbit would provide the PRC with technology that would be directly applicable to MIRV dispensing. The Smart Dispenser is an on-orbit maneuvering stage with its own independent guidance system. The Select Committee has determined that Motorola did not provide the PRC with information on how to design the Smart Dispenser; rather, the PRC built the Smart Dispenser indigenously to Motorola’s specifications. However, the Select Committee’s independent technical expert noted that the PRC has demonstrated all of the techniques that are required for developing a MIRV bus, and that the PRC could develop a MIRV dispensing platform within a short period of time after making a decision to proceed."

So maybe that's why Iridium happened in the way that it did. Iridium Communications went bankrupt. Of course Motorola continued to have a strong and prosperous relationship with the PRC subsidiaries. In the following years they were contracted to build up significant portions of China's GSM network.

Is this another GitHub thing with only user-scoped access tokens rather than project scoped? I really don't like that and I'm surprised people are seemingly fine with it.
Why would Nvidia willingly explain any customization? Surely keeping that secret is a competitive advantage.

Yes! I would love for more review sites to benchmark this, as well as time to wake from sleep. I have a gsync monitor that has only one input port and it wakes from sleep in like 0.2 seconds. After the experience of using it for a while, if I now had to choose between gsync and fast wake from sleep I would choose fast wake from sleep every time.
Exciting! Looking forward to it, then. Time to unload my 1080Tis. :-)
Most users of platforms like Onlyfans are men over 30.

> Older men are also damaged, but they're likely lost causes

That's quite rude, particularly when you basically say the opposite in the following paragraphs.

> men as a class are vulnerable to this kind of illness

Men as a class are vulnerable to a lot of things, but they are a hard demographic to reach and, fundamentally, very few people care about their mental health.

Just today, BBC Radio 4 passed a news headline about UK suicide numbers being at their highest in 20 years, with 3/4 of them being men and mostly between 45 and 50 years old. The headline before (risk of quarantine for UK tourists in Portugal) and the one after (Facebook vs Australia on news links) were longer and both had a relevant expert interviewed, but not the suicides one.
I am surprised from the reactions here. What is the best way to deal with worker union blackmails according to you? I know people like to portray worker and amazon as good guy and bad guy, but I think most of us has seen some demands that are pretty outrageous from them. I think it is best if both sides have contact person with whom they can negotiate.

Don't get me wrong, I think worker unions are essential for pushing the demands of underprivileged and should exist, but nobody should agree every demand from them.
I'm glad you find it useful!

Up/down arrow keys can also be used to adjust values in the UI while the cursor is on a value.

I mostly use scrolling for rough adjustments and arrow keys for fine tuning. It feels faster than simply editing a text field. Although I'm planning to make the fields editable in the future as a lot of users have requested that.

Yes, there are methods that apps can implement to detect anti-spoofing but as long as you have physical control of the computer/smartphone then it is just a matter of time before the anti-features are defeated if there are incentives to do so -- especially a monetary incentive.

Case in point... I found a whole community dedicated to spoofing Pokemon Go -- https://old.reddit.com/r/PokemonGoSpoofing/
None of these criticisms are objective, quantifiable, or actionable as written.

I think this is the single biggest barrier to police reform.

That's already the law, actually. It's just poorly enforced. Cupertino just approved a huge office complex that will throw the ratio way off, but no one is stopping them and the penalties are minimal.
That's exactly what I was thinking about. Snowcrash was a ridiculous (but thoroughly enjoyable) novel, but it feels less and less so every year.
The parents who do that till yoir 30ties who simtaneously insist on you being formally student at university are rare. Either they cut you off or are fine paying you even if you dont study.

And frankly, my impression is not that American students take school more seriously in average. They dont seem to, the paying money effect seems to be primary demanding more support and stufd from school. Not working more.

If nothing else, the college experience where massive focus is on fun, parties, extracurricular acrivities, fraternities, sorrorities, networking, fun again and sport tend to be American focus.
White collar labor simply doesn't scale like blue collar. The problems don't get easier with more people anymore. As you go up the chain quality is more important than quantity.
The difference is the Quadro RTX 8000 is $5500 (vs the 3090’s $1500 price), and the Quadro has less than half of the CUDA cores that the 3090 does.

You can buy two of the 3090’s for almost half the price of the Quadro and have 4x the processing power.

EDIT: looks like I'm not fully correct here - nvidia changed how they measure cores: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/ikok1b/explaining...

Still great for the price, but not double the power necessarily.
I cannot stop you from believing things that are false, but I can only assert that they are false.
also, the style of photos most of us are used to seeing are so processed digitally before publication, there's a real question of what it means to have a 'real photo' to approach in the first place.

That were capable of getting pretty close isn't that surprising, because most photos have already had N layers of digital effects applied, moving them closer to renders, rather than the other way around.
Bees are very smart their evolution must have been magnificent. I use bees' propolis[1] to treat acne and it works great. Propolis has anti-inflammatory properties.

As I clearly stated: problems with unions are widespread and there are even quite a handful of examples right on this thread.

"Racism doesn't exist just because one person used n-word! It's just one anecdote!"

... is not an argument.

Anyone with any exposure unions knows they are far from perfect, many of them are quite terrible.

This kind of ideological, wilful ignorance kills any goodwill people might otherwise have among the adult population who will invariably have come up against theses issue probably multiple times in their lives through either personal experiences or acquaintances.

I'm looking for entry-junior level positions. I like positions that require both soft and hard skills, and I also like diving deep into documentation and figuring out the nitty gritty.
I'm curious as to why you think that? I'm a big supporter of Prop 15, and would like to see 13 repealed (despite the many thousands of dollars a year it saves me).

How will 15 hurt a further repeal of 13?
Basic financial literacy is a major issue. Perhaps, by design.

How sure are we that these fans are not getting more benefit than we think? Maybe they are paying for the privilige of having an "a la carte" relationship that is impossible in real life. I d really like to see a survey about how these things work, because i doubt it's just neediness - there s probably benefits that justify the amounts spent.

It would take more than "documentaries", which AFAIK are always going for sensational, but false conclusions.
Hey there! Engineer on the GitHub Container Registry here.

Our only namespacing enforcement is that packages must be published under a user or organization namespace for which you have write permissions. For example, I'd be able to publish under `ghcr.io/taywrobel/redis`, or under `ghcr.io/github/redis`, but would be disallowed from publishing as `ghcr.io/saxonww/redis`.

Other than that restriction, you can have nested image namespaces with arbitrarily many segments; i.e. `ghcr.io/taywrobel/dev/redis` would be valid.
It has mostly been reactionary because the cost of being proactive and that most of the active work would likely be associated with national security, which is often outside the public eyes.
Didn't one of the android guys get into trouble for paying attractive girls a full time salary in exchange for them doing what he tells them to do? How's that any different from paying a girl on OnlyFans to produce a custom nude photo? I presume both is more about demonstrating power than about the value of the end result.

What's the variance in the set? how do you know it's not bimodal with many students having scholarships or parent paid tuition, food, and board; then other students mostly graduating with 50k plus debt?
It didn’t immediately occur to me to try and preserve the history tbh. As I would find out the code base had so many other problems I doubt the history was worth anything at all. New job and all I just didn’t realize I was thrown into a boat that was taking on water until it was too late. Managing to get out intact but wow! What a hilarious project.
I also had a bad and still have a bad experience with NuGet and GPR. I get packages rejected due to Auth (but not consistently) when building using actions. Authentication is always a problem with NuGet (GitHub, GitLab). It is not only a problem of the registry but also of the client codebase IMHO.

That’s the cap for the entire repo from what I can tell, and is the equivalent of $2.50/mo from Github.

Not really a meaningful difference if I’m reading that correctly.
And in addition to that, there's the problem of some apps doing too much work on the UI thread.
It's an interesting visualization, but, to reuse a phrase that I heard here recently, these scores are a Ouija board based on entirely arbitrary choices made by an entirely arbitrary group of people.

The US has not met the alleged criteria for Full Democracy or even Flawed Democracy within the bounds of my living memory.

None of our elections are fair because of:

- extreme gerrymandering

- rampant voter suppression

- first-past-the-post decisionmaking that entrenches two faces of a neoliberal corporatocracy distinct only in their identity politics but not significantly in their economic or foreign policies

- laws that prevent or obstruct ever investigating plausibly fraudulent election outcomes in favor of announcing results expediently

- media conglomerate kingmaking

- perpetually fatally flawed vote casting mechanisms that regularly and repeatedly flip, invalidate, and discard votes, often without any kind of oversight or potential for review (e.g. a paper trail)

- voter fatigue because this shit just keeps happening over and over

- repeatedly discarding mailed-in votes just because and then not making voting days a mandated holiday

- and a million other things that I'm not even thinking of

On top of that our executive branch has zero transparency whatsoever, and many of our highest positions of power go to people who are there only because they kiss the ring, including people currently who have literally no merits other than being related. We even have a justice department memo now saying that the Whitehouse is exempt from Federal Anti-Nepotism laws.

Also the questions are just complete rubbish, from treating "confidence" as a valid proxy for democracy to believing that some random schmoe's answer to "On average, other people X" means fuck all.
It has not been fixed, only changed to be less destructive on green channel. The article has a second part describing those changes: http://www.markshelley.co.uk/Astronomy/SonyA7S/sonystareater...

Many people do not see that issue or claim that it was 'fixed', because they do not have optics sharp enough to resolve stars to 1x1 or 2x2 pixels.
I was wondering if all benchmarks use the OptiX features or only the CUDA features. In software like Blender this makes a huge difference. OptiX can be twice as fast as CUDA.
So of benchmarks don't use the OptiX capabilities then they will miss a lot of available speed.
To go off on a tangent, this gives me a new perspective on the success of Trump. Perhaps his tweets, clearly written by the man himself in the moment, contribute to a sort of parasocial relationship with his "fans."

Certainly in comparison to the professional pr-speak of most other politicians.

AOC, among a very few others, seems to have tapped into something similar.
I'm not sure what companies you've worked for, but salary is almost never based on a 'meritocracy,' it's based on the minimum amount an employer thinks they can get away with. That value has nothing to do with an employee's output, and everything to do with minimizing costs.
I used to work at Uber and we would see similar behavior from drivers at airports. There would be a geofence around the parking lots where drivers had to wait before they could be sent a ride. However, the app would still send a ride to the closest available driver, so they would all lean their phones against the gate to get as close to the edge of the geofence as possible.

Ultimately, Uber implemented a FIFO queue at these lots, meaning a driver was added to a waiting list as soon as they entered the lot, thus removing the need for this behavior anymore.
It's not that it uses GPS, it's that Bluetooth may leak location. Location may be trivially determined from the list of nearby Bluetooth devices when compared to a database of Bluetooth devices with known locations, and so they tied Bluetooth permissions with Location permissions.
your description made me think of...

This will always be true. But we need another argument for the basis of censorship.

Censorship is a problem not because absurd ideas get rejected - but rather ideas do not get rejected outright based on the power dynamic of the society of that time.

Freedom of speech to me is the discussion of ideas. We should be able to hypothetically discuss things, even if they may be dangerous - but that is different than, say, inciting violence.
Yeah just try using your phone while Google's updating some crap in the background again... Doesn't depend on the newness of the phone either — this happened on every Android phone I've owned since 2011.
Friend, the amount of work that the modal model does is _far_ more than that. Unless you mean the amount of work OF is doing?
This is usually a hardware problem. I haven't found an easy way to detect if a GPU+monitor combination will have a very slow response time for DDC messages so all I can do in Lunar is send the messages to the monitor and if a number of messages fail then Lunar stops sending them to keep the system usable.

But there are cases like yours where the response time is so slow that the kernel panics in the first DDC message and freezes the whole system. There's no way to detect or recover from that in software.

Bing also completes "is hillary clinton" with "at gitmo". Bing doesn't bother curating search suggestions while Google has decided that suggestion is categorically different from search and they curate inflammatory terms.

You'll note for example that Google also doesn't suggest anything for "patriot prayer is".

Speaking of inflammatory, have you ever noticed how every one of your submissions and comments are flagged? Literally every time.
That's clever, but how do we account for replication errors? Wouldn't it be better to infuse the host with DNA from another of the same species? Sure, you wouldn't get perfect clones, but this also opens us up to the possibility of combining desirable traits from multiple people.
In those cases were you certain what you saw was a motorcycle before realizing otherwise? Or did you wait until you passed to be sure?
I tried to see any performance characteristics of running bottlerocket, just to understand what the expectations are there. I assume since it was not mentioned it is either similar to Amazon Linux 2 or worse (but with security advantages). Can you request a follow on post on the aws blog that describes the performance impact of Bottlerocket? If performance is better, would be nice to know that as well of course.
You might have been bitten by this before:

1. Make it work
2. Make it right
3. Make it fast (uh-oh your nice design prevents performance optimizations, time to scrap it)

The reaction to that is usually to think more about performance ahead of time so you don't get trapped by your theoretically perfect design when the real world comes crashing down.

With your hard-won experience you do away with those childish notions of being able to make a perfect elegant design where you don't have to worry about performance until the end.

The most valuable thing you'll find in Sandy's book is that you can actually ignore performance until the end and nearly always (always maybe?) be able to make it fast.

You can regain your optimism from your younger years before the bad experiences and resume this path:

1. Make it work
2. Make it right
3. Make it fast

I think it goes without saying that I highly recommend Sandy's book and think it could be the way forward for quickly writing correct, elegant (composable/re-usable!), and FAST programs.
Everything was on 10gigE. The average page size was around 17KB gzipped. Everything's a careful balance between CPU, memory, storage, and message throughput between machines.

Apple's corporate network also had incredible bandwidth to the Internet at large. Not sure why, but I assumed it was because their earliest data centers actually ran in office buildings in the vicinity of 1 Infinite Loop.
