If you look at my comment history you will see this answer posted before, not worth typing again as this is the (some larger number of times) we have had a thread on this subject.

“I just bought the TV I wanted and never connected it to the internet, never ran the "setup". I use an AppleTV 4K which has all the streaming apps you want (Netflix, Amazon, BBC, Pluto, etc.). For local media I use an application called MrMC ($6.99) which is a Kodi port to the AppleTV that allows you to mount Samba/NFS (https://mrmc.tv). MrMC even supports using a SQL backend for keeping track of your media (like Kodi). I just run it in on a jail in my TrueNAS setup. Every TV is the same, every time someone starts MrMC everything is in sync. Nice and simple.”

I really appreciate this perspective. I'm not looking to leave my current employer anytime soon, but I definitely want to start networking now. Not only for a potential move, but hopefully to build my own thing one day.
Does any cloud provider provide a blanket "all released features will be supported for X years" to all users without a contract (as part of the terms)? I have never looked into other cloud providers, so I honestly don't know.

Also, I'm guessing larger companies could push for certain longer deprecation policies as part of their contracts on certain features. I have no insights here, just assuming from what other people on this thread are saying.

Okta's Perspective on the Verkada Hack
Maybe it's a start. I was wondering, hoping, things might at least have a possibility of changing after being aquired by AMD.

AMD, or some gradual infusion of new staff and culture over time, might change their stance wrt to open source tools, or at least the documentatione necessary to write them.

This isn't that, but it's not nothing either. Maybe it's just a good first step.

Or maybe it's just the age old traditional way to be sticky. Get students addicted to a front end that only works with your locked up back end.
Fascinating and inspiring, thank you for taking the time to distill it so clearly.

>If it were the case that the field of gravity were to be transmissible through a wormhole

If I'm not mistaken, existing wormhole theories generally require the presence of "negative energy/mass", which I believe is considered to be repelled by gravity instead of attracted to it.

Combined with the fact that, under general relativity, wormholes and gravity both involve significant bending/shaping of spacetime (I think), I imagine it's really difficult to think about how wormholes interact with gravity coming from the perspective of how typical energy/mass does.

These aren't articles. READ THE FIRST LINE. They're random crude notes, scribbled down in 1988, and UNEDITED, so full of all sorts of horrible mistakes (that's what "unedited notes" means.)

Leading innovation also requires capital, high-functioning trade, education, infrastructure, easy access to funding, etc. It's powered by a self-reinforcing cycle of investments, of which money is only a part.

It's totally legitimate to ask whether the evidence supports the idea of overregulation slowing progress, but I don't think your examples are the right questions to ask.

I used to scratch my head at who would pay a $500-1000 premium for a Sony when it just uses an LG panel. But after owning an LG for several years now and seeing it get more and more ads with every update, I think the premium on the Sony is worth it for an ad-free clean experience.
The chip was not really like a cluster, the memory semantics were fully coherent SSI like we're used to on x86 multicore systems.

(Possibly you meant cluster in a chip design sense, not in the distributed computing sense? In Larrabee/KNL context, clusters usualy meant racks of machines HPC style...).
Pi 4 is from 2019, has 4 cores at 1.5 GHz made with 28 nm process.

Smartphones from 2019 had 8 cores at 2.8 GHz made with 7 nm process.

I think TVs gotta be closer to smartphones than to Pi4.
I've always thought that this argument really shows a lack of education more than anything. People do not understand the simple principle that you cannot have a highly radioactive substance and it be long living at the same time (this is because radiation is the process of matter being expelled from the atoms. Higher radiation levels, more matter/energy being expelled). But it also shows that people don't understand that things that things can also be dangerous and have no half life. Like lead and heavy metals don't decay and there are no safe levels of heavy metals.
People live in places where the sun disappears for most of the day for months. Humans can adjust to just about any schedule. The biggest advantage is our bodies won't have to adjust twice a year for an arbitrary time change. I'm fine with either one being the standard, just stop changing it. I fully support this bill.
Reminds me of an issue I had with the Python Pillow library had generating checkerboard patterns. I spend ages getting smaller and smaller versions of the problem until I could reproduce it in 5 lines of very clear code[1].

I was convinced I was doing something wrong with pixel access, or many the mode of the image.

Turned out the solution was "upgrade Pillow". Ironically - and annoyingly - both my question and answer were downvoted.

There's a clear disconnect here: in my Swiss, CS undergrad calculus classes (1st and 2nd year), nothing was remotely as mechanical as those two choices. That (practice in hard math problem solving, not mechanical application of techniques) is probably what the grandparent is missing.

Yes, that is exactly the point - there are so many such incidents (and not just with Apple but with Google and Microsoft OS / apps too) that leak users personal data, and when someone publicly points it, the ready-made excuse is that it is a "bug".
Dumb garage door closers with programmable timers exist.

The same goes for hvac. Configuration might be more complicated but I'd rather walk into a sweltering home than have a massive power bill when some script kid pwns my system and sets the temp to 50f for two weeks.
We already have fingerprint reader touchpads on some devices, make those squishy instead of a hard surface and you got yourself a flesh-like feeler.

As for temperature and humidity those sensors can also be included. Although the interesting bit here is how they're integrated/distributed in humans vs how we've classically designed them in robots due to precision concerns as opposed to relative difference.
> Steve Woz's BASIC for the Apple II was "hand-assembled", as he put it.

Very cool - so basically (haha) Woz's integer BASIC was bootstrapped by writing it in assembly language and translating it into machine code by hand.

I wonder if someone (Woz?) has written a 6502 assembler in integer BASIC to allow it to bootstrap itself?

This has a name its called burying the lead, its used because news papers are structured in a way where they know people have limited attention so usually they don't read to the end. All the important bits are typically laied out linearly, often trailing off at the end.

Burying the lead takes advance if this and puts the important but inconvenient information at the bottom.

Lookup tables are the big thing that break CPU and GPU programs since at relatively small sizes you'll hit the memory wall. A lot of algorithms like media codecs (audio, video) and pretrained neural nets are trivial to design with HLS and have a major performance advantage over using a CPU or GPU.

Add in the fact that CPUs and GPUs are expensive as fuck, in short supply, demand high power, while FPGAs are pretty cheap and efficient since they don't do much you're going to find a lot of designs that call for them over a beefy and expensive chip.

That said, arm and risc V cores are dirt cheap. If your algorithm isn't hitting the memory wall it probably isn't going to be faster via HLS.
It's always more than you think though.

It might have to do with the USB buffer on the Ender. If the buffer is too small (e.g. 4 gcode commands or so) then when the buffer is filled with commands that execute very quickly, its possible for the printer to empty the buffer before new commands come down the pipeline from Octoprint. This causes the printer to stop the printhead sharply, which can cause quality issues on prints, or maybe even print failure if the sudden stop causes the print to detach from the bed.

[You can fix this if you're using Marlin](https://www.reddit.com/r/ender3/comments/btjk22/octoprint_is...), since Marlin allows you to configure the buffer size. Generally more buffer is better, but do be aware that increasing the buffer size will cause the printer to be less responsive to the "stop print" command on octoprint (since the printer will continue executing the commands that have been buffered).
That does it, my new phone camera based social networking startup will hire only 100x engineers. They must wear mirrorshades and if I allow 20 minutes for an interview coding question, the 100x engineer should be able to solve it in 12 seconds.
Look at Chisel. I agree that C/C++ is the wrong abstraction but that's because using a HDL is more like meta programming in a declarative markup language that needs to be embedded in a higher level language for automation and verification than to compile imperative operations into silicon.

Having watched four generations of American professional sports, it’s really obvious to me that athletes should be judged by “dominance” which is implicitly based on the other athletes of the same era as a reference.

There might he a better hockey player one day than Wayne Gretzky, but I’m fairly confident in saying there will never be anyone as dominant

There is some sport-specific subtlety there too, which I’m too tired to map out right now, but it roughly goes like this: Michael Jordan was not as good at basketball as Gretzky was at hockey from a statistical perspective, but anyone who watched them knows he was just as, if not more dominant. This may be explainable through some sort of modal analysis of the sports’ talent pools - Gretzky was a ridiculous outlier.

In a weird way, MJ can be greater than WG in relation to his peers, but Gretzky was better at his sport - relative to peers - than Jordan!

There’s this weird aspect of sports that you can’t quantify, and is a large part of the allure.
Is it possible to compare code similar to writing? Id be curious to see other info outside of text analysis.
I had the same experience with my ISP--had to find out I was able to get IPv6 only through a local forum frequented by employees of various ISPs. Also had to find out settings through this--turned out that the default setting of getting IP address assignment etc through PPPoE they usually suggest is still assigning IPv4 addresses only but their BNGs will provide IPv4+6 if you switch to getting ip assignments through DHCP/IPoE. I am sure things will improve over time as IPv6 becomes a first class citizen.
I totally concur. I switched over to Integromat as well as I found their solution and UI much better. Both are great though and I still like zapier.
I quit 3 years into my physics/math degree (my university had a joint 5-year masters program) with basically the same insight. Took a masters in CS instead and wrapped up the necessary credits for a bachelors in physics so I'd at least have a piece of paper to show for the effort I put in.

My thought at the time was; If I want to do physics full time, I better make it rich first. I saw that the tenure track academic route seemed very far from my naive teenage dreams of what being a physicist would mean, and it was unrealistic that I'd even get accepted into grad school not being fully straight As. Currently enjoying a pretty decent career developing software for banks, so I can't say I regret my decision, esp. after reading articles like this.
The only investment I've found that's actually worth it is a home entertainment network like plex. Having all my family videos available in every room and every device connected to my Wi-Fi with a few clicks or a link and a shared user account has been worth the dozens of hours I've spent building my library, rebuilding my home server, upgrading components, managing updates, and debugging edge cases. Would I like lights to turn on and off when I enter and exit rooms? Yeah, but smart switches don't cover all of my use cases naturally and without manual overrides and the convenience isn't worth the thousands of dollars to retrofit my house for an immature technology.
Sounds like a payday loan

Hardware switches are a step in the right direction, but not enough. Some devices need network access to do their jobs, and there has to be a way to deter abusing that access for purposes that are user-hostile at the same time.

I think the same is true for the Trump CPAC speech article. The blog post compares the initial headlines about him “claiming leadership” to the ones about him attacking other Republicans. But just from eyeballing the chart, first the headline changes from “Plans to Claim” to “Claims”, presumably around when he started giving the speech, and then shortly afterward it’s changed to mention him attacking Republicans, probably at the point in the speech where he did that. There does seem to be an A/B test between the last two headlines, “Trump Pledges G.O.P. Unity, Then Attacks Republicans Who Backed Impeachment” vs. “Trump’s Republican Hit List at CPAC Is a Warning Shot to His Party”. But that’s not the comparison the blog post makes. And among those two, while the winning headline (the second one) is clickbaitier, both focus on the same part of the speech, and neither is inaccurate.

It feels like the OS vendors pulled the rug out from under us. There used to be reliable well-researched style guides. They moved slowly, to the point where the pack-in software from Windows 1.0 looks pretty much sane in Windows 2000, or 1984 Mac software on OS 9 looks reasonable.

At some point, they decided to toss all that out the window for aesthetics and shininess.

I feel like this could have been done much better by making theming a first-class citizen. Sure, put a pretty theme on by default, but let the user make every button look like a football and have the text blue-on-purpole if they want. If anything, this would further encourage developers to stick to established conventions and style guides, because they'd need to make sure it still looks and works fine when the user is running a theme that makes everything look like a particularly ugly Enlightenment theme.
I would think that once you start working with even half that many ips it starts to make sense to use a trie-like data structure that shares common pieces of the ips.
Scheduling my thermostat, smart outlets, and sprinklers works much better via a computer. Dial lamp timers suck, and programming a complex schedule via four push buttons and an eight-segment display is miserable. (I would not mind using bluetooth instead of wifi, but wifi is more widely used)

Interesting article on how the original CDC 6000 Pascal compilers were bootstrapped (including the scanned source code listings as PDFs!?!):

http://pascal.hansotten.com/niklaus-wirth/cdc-6000-pascal-co...

"The method used to create the first Pascal compiler, described by U. Ammann in The Zurich Implementation, was to write the compiler in a subset of unrevised Pascal itself, then hand-translate the code to SCALLOP, a CDC specific language. The compiler was then bootstrapped, or compiled using the Pascal source code and the SCALLOP based compiler, to get a working compiler that was written in Pascal itself. Then, the compiler was extended to accept the full unrevised Pascal language."
I think what OP meant is that this logically implies every query must touch all the data (or else you could infer information from data access patterns) at which point is it really a database anymore as we know it?
It is pretty much automatic for end-users though. The only complex issues I had enabling IPv6 was due to the fact I bought my own router. For those using ISP-supplied gear it's pretty much plug and play. In my country (New Zealand) the reason why our IPv6 adoption is so low is because the largest telcos also happen to own the largest IPv4 blocks (because they got them quite early in the game) so there is no incentive for them to roll out IPv6 so quickly. Most of the smaller ones have introduced IPv6 without too much drama.
I forgot the year of change-over but yes. They sound different and they age differently. I collected coins as a kid, I liked their heft in my (smaller) fingers.

Source paper: Mantis shrimp–inspired organic photodetector for simultaneous hyperspectral and polarimetric imaging

A detector is also experimentally demonstrated, which simultaneously registers four spectral channels and three polarization channels. The sensor showcases the myriad degrees of freedom offered by organic semiconductors that are not available in inorganics and heralds a fundamentally unexplored route for simultaneous spectral and polarimetric imaging.
