I'll be back, post-pandemic, for my favorites. Delivery doesn't fulfill my desires.

As a consumer, everything I enjoy getting at a restaurant has three critical properties.

* Hot (or cold; extreme) temperature
* Fresh (IMO: short best by time)
* Annoying to make at home

The exceptions to the first two on this list were already delivery pre-'gig jobs'; pizza and most (American) Chinese food; those kept reasonably well in insulated or even warmed bags.

The last factor might involve the hassle of deep frying, or the need for food specific industrial equipment (like a pizza oven), or even just a ton of ingredients to keep fresh. Something a kitchen selling 50+ of that thing a week can easily accommodate but I can't.

The secret to the best sourdough bread and butter at the fish shop, pre-pandemic? That butter was farm fresh daily because they just used THAT much; and the bread fresh from the oven the same way.

What that really means is less opportunity to fix individual components, more opportunity for $1499 upsells when warranty runs out. Cutting off third party repair and secondary used markets. Win win win in Apple eyes.
Why is everyone arguing about stuff in this thread instead of focusing on the less-interesting but still super concerning fact that something flew "right over the top" of a commercial airplane?
Even in the least-interesting case of it probably a US test thing of some kind - wtf is it doing flying in commercial airspace? Can you imagine if it had hit the plane?
I wonder if that applies to public schools only or includes private as well.

Is private school (in general) worth the cost?

The is not much a difference in this case. Boots on the ground are required to hold on to anything. Any transport of troops and materials between the mainland and Taiwan exist in a very large shooting gallery. It is not clear that China could maintain long term air superiority in the area. They have a very small (but growing) Navy. The US sub fleet would sink most of it quite quickly. The US fleet is very vulnerable to ground based missiles and would take a pounding but longer term the US has the force projection to win. In order for China to win this Taiwan has to fall in 5 days, after that it becomes a war of attrition and technology and the US is better equipped today to fight that. It is not clear that will stay the same long term. In the Korean War the US planes would not chase Chinese planes over the border. That policy would not fly here as all the military fields close to Taiwan would be hit quickly no matter what because the material threat to the US Navy requires it. Chinese pride and feeling of years of rage at how the western powers treated them in the past is the only issue here. There is no reason beyond that for China to press on this as the status quo has been fine for 50 years however for the US it would mean the fall of our position in the world and the fall of the dollar which would bankrupt the US. The west has no choice but to defend Taiwan or see an end to our very way of life.

Cell was a disappointment in the PS3 though. It was such an underperformer that the SPEs couldn’t be used for their intended role as a GPU and got shanghied into being used like SMT cores, while a whole separate GPU chip had to be added into the design at the last minute to compensate. The Cell’s weak CPU performance, strange programming model, and weak developer tooling was a problem for pretty much the whole generation.

The much more traditional XB360 tri-core plus GPU design was widely considered the better design and Sony reverted to a similarly traditional design the next generation as well.

It was a highly heterogeneous design, and yes the world has adapted to those much better now than they did in 2007 (and maybe it would have been more successful with better tooling), but there are also prior heterogeneous designs like Saturn that were also widely considered a mess apart from rare cases where developers were skilled enough to effectively utilize them. The tasks where it succeeded (like the oft-referenced air force supercomputer) tended to be embarrassingly parallel workloads (matrix math, password cracking, etc) that didn't have a high degree of dependencies in their processing workflow. That is pretty much the lowest-hanging fruit for a heterogeneous throughput-oriented system, if it couldn't do even that it would be fully useless, but merely doing that doesn't make it good.

I guess maybe think of it like a GPGPU - but a GPGPU would have been a terrible choice to use as your control CPU for a console even if it did allow higher degrees of processing in some narrow use-cases. Just not how that type of programming is usually done. Maybe at best you can say it was mis-understood and mis-applied by Sony but it really just wasn't as great a chip for most things as people thought at the time. Wasn't a great GPU, wasn't a great CPU, wasn't good enough to be the first "APU" to bridge to having both one one chip as originally intended.

It clearly was designed for HPC/supercomputing situations where someone understood the architecture. Probably still was held back by the tooling and documentation anyway. I know it was in some supercomputers, but there probably is a reason that 10 years later nobody is designing follow-on processors or inspired by that particular architecture.

People at the time jerked off heavily about it, both in HPC and the PS3, and I get that it powered a lot of people's fond childhood memories, but I think in hindsight it pretty much was a failed design and an architectural dead end. You can say that maybe APUs took some inspiration from it but the cost-savings of an integrated CPU+GPU are pretty much an obvious goal, and later processors used a much more standard CPU and GPU that happen to live on the same chip and have some coherent memory access protocols. They share nothing in common with the Cell's SPE/ring concept. Nobody ever used that in a design ever again, for a reason.

You can't tell from that picture, the damage could have been sustained from the cowling. There is speculation that the damage is from a fan blade but that has not been determined yet. The video of the engine doesn't show any corresponding damage on the side where any fan blade could have exited either.

I once ran an E-ink display as an external monitor on a laptop to that I could work outside. I recall the latency was pretty much unworkable for typing, but that may have been the way the driver was setup. Curious to hear how usable this is for work - would love to see a video of this thing in use.
Sure but for what GA costs on a recurring basis, a small camera or two is such a negligible cost and is really valuable for learning.
I would first ask the question of why machine learning, just like I would for why video games, or why react.

If you are trying to learn it solely because it is popular and you just want a job, then you have a few problems: competing with others, understanding the inherent needless complexity in the tech, and ultimately what to do if the tech wanes in popularity.

If you are learning it because you genuinely love the tech and want to spend the rest of your career doing it (which is how I feel about Java but not about video games), then you will be able to persevere through the challenges that come your way.

Now, to answer your real question: "what will interviewers think about my lack of a technical background". My real answer to this is that this industry is broken, most people are lying, most people have an ego, most people are biased and operating arbitrarily.

Your resume needs to somehow get you the interview, your background needs to be good enough or doctored enough to placate them, and then you need to blow them away with the quickness and sharpness of your answers to their technical questions.

No amount of PHD work or real world knowledge can ever guarantee that you will pass an interview. It's total luck of the draw and the interviewer's bias around how serious they are about hiring somebody.

Good luck!

We have not had a problem getting customers to sign up, aside from the normal nobody wanting to be first customer - the outback handshake came in handy here.

The outlay required is the labour to fit the tags to each zerk - some plants have 1000's of them, so a fitter @$120/hr has to visit all of them pull the zerk off and fit the tag. When tey are fitted we need to record to ID and put it into the database, then the system is good to go.

After that, we can remotely program the intervals and grease volumes - using the know how of the people on site, or the OEM manuals. One customer did't have the data, he sent his fitter into the plant to complete a round with GreaseBoss and we used the recordings as the baseline data.
Surely things have changed between then and now.

We're talking about visual phenomena, and we capture video constantly.

The real problem here is that the M1 macbooks do not have a replaceable SSD. Even without this issue, SSDs do die sometimes and on every non Apple laptop you just buy a new m.2 sdd and everything is all good.

I have had macbook SSDs die in the past and thanks to it being a swappable module back then, it was no big deal.

Well, it's also happening at your local restaurant(s).

Try to attend and "Fancy Food Show" and visit the booths of companies selling to restaurants. You'd be amazed at how streamlined production is from, prepared ingredients, to fully pre-prepared dishes ready-to-be defrosted/heated and served.

I would not be surprised if in the near future 80% of restaurant meals will be ready-to-serve meals.

The future is not what it used to be.

I have a hypothesis about UFOs that everyone needs to ponder.

You know how they are frequently just simple shapes? Okay well imagine you are making a game and you need an object to act as your player and you don't care what it looks like. The easiest way is to just drop in a primitive shape. So you just drop in a cylinder or whatever because it doesn't matter.

I think that might be the kind of thing that's going on with UFO shapes, assuming they are extraterrestrial in origin.
Not surprised. A lot of this stuff doesn't get set up because people are lazy. Or developers don't want to, or are unable to, do sysadmin work.

I worked at a small "startup" inside a larger, several billion dollar company, back in the late 90's. Nobody set up source control for that division, despite the parent company being over two decades old and having people very experienced with that sort of thing. We were also integrating code from third party contractors, and it was a big mess. Files getting overwritten, people copying stuff off their local desktops, consultants FTPing in updates, etc. After a couple months of copying junk everywhere, I finally got fed up. As a 22 year old, basically straight out of college, I was training the entire team how to use CVS...
That's fair. I assume the logic here is that a dislodged cowling or other external engine paneling is traveling at a relatively low velocity when it makes contact with another part of the plane, compared to a fan blade which, if successfully ejected from the engine casing, would be traveling at a very high speed?

This is too bad. But, it's not surprising. In speaking with a colleague recently, I found out that his local Fry's Electronics was a shell of what it once was, and that they were doing some strange consignment sale things that weren't even through their normal retail channels. Another COVID casualty, I suspect.
During an enlistment in the US Navy I had the opportunity to visit many exotic (to me) foriegn ports. My goal was to explore authentic local food and culture, but inevitably, the buzz when I got back to the ship was the location of the nearest McDonald's. Some peple just crave consistiency and a "taste of home". Each to their own. If I've spent months to get half way around the planet, I sure as hell want to revel in the experience!
Yea, I don't understand why there can't be intelligible/non-conspiracy conversations about the extremely unusual stuff that has been reported by a good number of reputable people. It seems like there are a few plausible theories and we should be able to have conversations about wth they are.
I'm a pilot (recreational, and my license is not current). Although I've never personally seen a UFO, I've heard enough stories to believe it (not implying alien but nobody seems to know what they are). I've never once recorded anything while flying, ever. And I don't know anybody who ever records while flying (I don't mean for long periods of time, I mean at all). Why would I ever think to do that?

By the time I see the thing and pull out my phone it's already gone before I can hit record (unless it's really slow I guess, but those reports are much less common).
This seems like the perfect situation to test how quickly you would like to be arrested.
The "Patents are Bad!" trope always comes up in any e-ink thread. Not sure why. I love e-ink (I prefer to read books on a kindle), but I think if the demand were there the prices would come down, as you pointed out.

I have a neighbor that has deliberately made their car exhaust very loud, and they frequently just go and sit in their car idling for long periods of time, upwards of an hour. A couple of weeks ago they were out there at 2 in the morning for over an hour, making it impossible to sleep. The sound is so loud it vibrates my floor.

I have been very tempted to go ask them to please be respectful, but because of the gun situation here, I truly am personally terrified of being shot if I do so. This is not trolling and is not outlandish, it is my honest, actual assessment based on a current situation I'm enduring.

You are being dismissive saying my comments are obviously trolling and not allowing for me to just have wildly different viewpoints compared to your own.

> Disinformation is best frighted by debunking it

I used to believe that as well. Then we did real world practical experiments over the last decade. It's clear most people don't give a shit about informing themselves and will readily believe just about anything.

Not saying the solution is regulating what can / cannot be said, but this idea that free speech is the ultimate thing isn't working when you have groups that can spend troves of cash making their disinformation legitimate enough for the masses.

Both you and i probably believe at least one, maybe more of those things, by the way. It's not all outlandish nonsense, sometimes it's reasonable enough to believe at first glance and you don't bother looking it up afterwards.
I wonder if they will continue, i.e. averaging in. Fear is pretty high and various charts are dipping below the 200 MA (as one indicator) for the first time in a while, but this could easily continue through March...once we hit May though, so long 50K BTC. IMO. A phenomenal year to bet on crypto.
I’m not surprised, but this makes me feel incredibly sad. I built my first PC using parts from there. I’m going to miss it.

But once Fry’s pivoted to be a consignment store that was mostly empty and selling pallets of bottled water and perfume, it was obvious the business was about to die.

Curiously, Microcenter has managed to live on and seems fairly robust. I can’t help but think Fry’s tried to sell too many different products and had a massive amount of floorspace to keep up. Whereas my local Microcenter just sticks to electronics and the store is much smaller and feels cramped in comparison.
But "periodically" means every 6500 takeoffs and landings.

That seems like an awful long time between inspections. I don't know how often international flights takeoff and land, but the interval might be decades.
