It's not always the price too, often enough the higher quality item can be cheaper, just less of a fancy package maybe. A lot of companies blow all their budget on advertising and packaging instead of product quality and research. Knowledge is key. Especially be careful in stores like TJ Maxx, Home-sense and such -- lots of lowest quality fancy packaged junk to be had there.
Is that not required by law? Surely the engineers thought about this scenario and advised management to include a safety limit switch. Did management just ignore the engineers?

This seems like another Ford Pinto where the company decided it was cheaper to settle the lawsuits than fix the product.
I'm deeply disturbed by people donating to politically motivated murderers. I'm not sure if I think it should be a fireably offense, but I definitely think it's enough for me to hate someone.

I'm not sure if this line is supposed to imply this man might do something with nukes. If so, I don't think this journalist understands how places like Livermore work.

You probably just have a decent budget for guns and haven't seen the dodgy ones. The market is flooded with garbage that I would not even consider firing.
If I’m recording from N neurons, I’m recording from an N-dimensional system. Each neuron’s firing rate is an axis in this space. If each neuron is maximally uncorrelated from all other neurons, the system will be maximally high dimensional. Its dimensionality will be N. Geometrically, you can think of the state vector of the system (where again, each element is the firing rate of one neuron) as eventually visiting every part of this N-dimensional space. Interestingly, however, neural activity actually tends to be fairly low dimensional (3, 4, 5 dimensional) across most experiments we’ve recorded from. This is because neurons tend to be highly correlated with each other. So the state vector of neural activity doesn’t actually visit every point in this high dimensional space. It tends to stay in a low dimensional space, or on a “manifold” within the N-dimensional space.
I'm under the anecdotal and subjective impression that I can do a "brain dump" describing a recently-experienced physical event. But it's a one-shot exercise. Close to read-once recall. The archived magnetic 9-track tape that when read becomes a take-up reel of backing and a pile of rust. The memories feel like they're degrading as recalled, like beach sand eroding under foot, and becoming "synthetic", made up. The dump is extremely sparse and patchy. Like a limits-of-perception vision experiment: "I have moderate confidence that I saw a flash towards upper left". Not "I went through the door and down the hall" but "low-confidence of a push with right shoulder, medium-confidence passing a paper curled out from the wall at waist height, and ... that's all I've got". But what shape curl? Where in the hall? You've whatever detail was available around the moment you recalled it, because moments later extra information recalled start tasting different, speculative fill-in-the-blanks untrustworthy.
I don't doubt this is a thing, but the place to look for anything concerning is information returned from these API calls going out over the wire. Very few places encrypt or obfuscate their network requests with anything but base64, URL encoding, or maybe puny code, I've seen a few others but nothing difficult to figure out.

This is something that explores current things (3d printers, CNC plywood cutters, etc) that could gradually play larger and larger roles in the fabrication of identical -- or better yet, identical with improvements -- copies of themselves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4tYIX_QJ2Q

This will most certainly happen gradually, and will probably involve a whole cluster of machines. For instance, a robot arm, a 3d printer, and a bunch of jigs and other devices, which together can make parts of themselves or play a role in assembly.
On the other hand the one button experience is as far as it has ever been. I just pushed up a website on Amplify in a few clicks, and the only reason it isn’t less is that some people want options.
I find htop's ability to view the tree structure of a process quite useful. Name your threads!
Yes. :)

I have an original librem 13. It is quite refreshing. No proprietary drivers, works with every linux distribution without fiddling (I run arch). wifi/bt+mic/camera switches. Barrel jack for power. standard screws, standard memory, standard m.2, standard ssd.

Authors have the same problem as musicians. Their work has zero marginal replication cost, zero distribution cost, low barriers to entry and they're competing for finite attention.

What invariably happens then is the top 0.1 percent of output is duplicated and sold to hundreds of millions of customers and that eats up all of the attention bandwidth for that vertical. It's the ultimate winner take all setup.

Contrast this to the prospect of running a successful restaurant that is fundamentally limited by geography. No matter how well it serves region A, region B, C, D, etc is still up for grabs. A franchise can try to duplicate its success, but it's much more costly than a successful author making endless free digital copies of their work.
a couple of nuances make the remaining 3% a bit more difficult to get, two that I noticed is that the bot is bad at holding sustain notes and also tends to make mistakes during long hammer-on sections because it hits two notes at the same time instead of realizing that they are individual notes.

the second one is probably easy to fix by spreading the notes out a bit (hyperspeed mode) but the first one is a bit more annoying to program, probably
That's the one! Good to know it's spam. I removed GA and added a privacy page. Thanks!
It is not oddly worded. It is wrong.
> Email should not have binaries, html, tags, etc.

That's like saying postal mail should only allow you to send letters typed on a typewriter.

This "email should be plaintext only" idea was reasonable when bandwidth was limited and metered and expensive. While that's still the case in some parts of the world, most of us here are not in that situation. If you, personally, want to reject emails that have attachments or are not plaintext, you're free to do so, of course, but don't suggest that the rest of us are doing it wrong.
> Don't try inhaling oils at home as a DIY thing.

Completely agree. Also, an additional problem is that sometimes people try substitutions like using linseed oil instead of linoleic acid, and it can be bad or very bad. (In particular if the linseed oil is for painting and have additives.)

> I'm not really trying to bust them.

I'm not so kind, and as I said before I'm very skeptic. But I can't find any theoretical reason to be sure this will not work or that this will work, so let's wait for the clinical trial results in case there is an unexpected surprise.

(For example, with Chlorine Dioxide, it's almost impossible that it is useful because we know how it react.)
As a Windows sysadmin I pine for developers to use MSI. Having applications managed by the Windows Installer makes automated installation, removal, and repair so easy. MSI has its warts, to be sure, but "clean" MSIs (that don't rely on lots of custom actions, embed binaries that the just execute, etc) are a joy to work with.

How well a software developer / "manufacturer" deals with "setup" in the Windows ecosystem has almost always been a proxy for overall software quality in my experience. When "setup" is left as an afterthought I can usually expect other corners have been cut. When I see a custom binary running an installation I start thinking "brown M&M's".
Properly seasoned it will be as non-stick as Teflon or better. Especially carbon steel, which is also lighter - the main down side of cast iron is weight. Teflon flakes are much worse for you than a bit of iron ever will be (not really an issue in these amounts).
"It's not a conspiracy if it is not illegal." By definition.

Garden-variety corruption doesn't need a conspiracy. The US is today the world leader in high-level, fully legal corruption. It took many decades to get there, but it will take even longer to choke it off, if we ever do.

We even elected an out-and-out con man to the presidency. Russia wishes it could be so corrupt, but just doesn't have the money for it. China does, but its corruption is mostly still technically illegal.

Yet Zeman agreed with Babiš on the decision of the secret services finding which led to the expulsion of Russian diplomats.

I'm curious about the Dukovany NPP part here - I haven't seen any news services in Poland reporting on this in context of the expulsion.
My simplified picture of what’s going on is something like this (if I’m understanding the paper correctly). Stimulus A starts out represented by the vector (1,1,1,1) and B by (-1,-1,-1,-1). Those are the sensory representations. Later A is represented by (1,1,-1,-1) and B by (-1,-1,1,1). Those are the memory representations. The last two component/neurons have “switched” their selectivity and rotated the encoding. The directions (1,1,1,1) and (1,1,-1,-1) are orthogonal, so you can store sensory info (A vs B in the present) along one and memory info (A vs B in the past) aling the other.
One example I'm aware of is headphones. A while back everyone thought Beats are the best because they were expensive and had good marketing but really they were shit and you could get much better quality for less price

I enjoyed this, I thought it mostly made good points, and it linked to other articles I will look at. Yet..

I started reading a blogger who teaches how to make a successful blog, sells courses about it, etc. I soon realized her blog is just about her making money from promising to help you make money from your blog. A frighteningly vacuous operation. It seems a modern cousin to the old ad in magazines promising to reveal the secret to wealth for $20. When you write to the given address you get a letter back saying "Do as I do." It's a pyramid operation.

Writing books about writing books seems similar. Selling the dream of high sales when you write on other topics, when their books are the same "making money from promising to help you make money" from your book seems a bit fishy, has a scammy element. It's more than a lil "Do as I do."
AMD notebooks/systems usually come with less memory, storage and inferior GPUs, despite being faster than Intel. The thing that makes me most upset are inferior displays; often the top AMD model has some TN panel at 1920x1080, whereas top Intel model has an OLED 4k. This is criminal.

I had to buy an Intel-based Razer with 4k@120 and 3080 because there is no similar AMD model provided by anyone. Like nobody in the whole world has a comparable AMD system.

True, but interpretation/emohasis is wrong. Start with browser and web and then iterations on it. That's only part of everything.

I work on a use case that leverages Samsung DeX and secondary displays with keyboard/mouse. Applications are refactored to run on native Android, or accessed on HTML5 sites. What Win32 is left is accessed on VDI.

The solution supports MFA step-up auth to login to device, local print, proxy's traffic, per app vpn. Endpoint threat detection products for Android have more capabilities than ever. You can specify approved IP addresses, countries that traffic can communicate with. You can provide a list of approved WiFi BSSID.

With these mobile security SDK's embedded in native Android apps, functionality with the apps can be limited based on threat infractions.

E.g. - if the device magically became rooted while authenticated in android native app, or connects to rogue BSSID; the app performs whatever actions (terminates vpn to intranet, logs threat event on public facing endpoint, force re-authenticate with MFA.)
It's not. You can include images in markdown and markdown being markdown, the links are pretty easy to identify and then open.

They don't have to, or better to say the shouldn't, be absolute http links. They can be just relative ones, and those will translate very nicely into file paths locally. If you just use a plain text editor you'll have to open them manually. A bit smarter one (e.g. most likely your IDE) will turn them into clickable file links. You're not losing anything but whoever looks at it on the web will have a lot better idea. And most people will look at it on the web first, before cloning the repo locally... Because it saves time.

It hurts me a little to see “50-60 bucks” for jeans referred to as nothing. I now grudgingly buy similar $50-60 Levis or Eddie Bauers because my wife likes them better than jeans that cost half as much. Looks some common basic jeans at Walmart are still ~$15 which is amazing since that’s what I remember paying for them like 15 years ago.

I think that people are just too fussy. I have anti-aliasing disabled on my 142 dpi laptop screen and it looks better in most applications provided that screen fonts are used. Yes, you can see the pixels and you get the odd rendering artifact. On the other hand, the fuzziness of anti-aliasing is a steep price for edges that appear smoother.
For anyone reading this and considering Advance protection, know that it causes a ton of problems with google home and other applications. I made the mistake of setting up google home with my primary google account. Which is necessary to get YouTube premium / YouTube music / YouTube TV (all associated with that account), plus all of my smart home devices that have been set up with that account over time. So when you flip on google advance protection, all of that breaks.

It’ll be a weekend project to convert over all of my smart home devices and automation away from my primary email account and transition it to a home media account. Then I will turn on google advance protection. Advance protection also puts a delay on logging into the system if you are locked out / some extra restrictions.

Until then I’m just using the key but not advanced protection. If I were starting fresh (a new smart home / google services), I’d make an email just for that and use my original address (a clean name with no numbers from 2004) strictly for mail / financial passwords / high priority accounts. The divide that I would do is smart home / subscription services used by the family gets the lower security one, everything else is high security.

I’d be interested to hear how others deal with this problem.
I don't know if my experience is representative, but those I've known who have been terminally ill have all been calmly accepting of the fact after all reasonable options were exhausted. Same for their respective loved ones. One of my relatives went through assisted euthanasia before the illness got really bad, and it was mostly a respected decision by everyone. This is in Europe.
Typically the book proposal discusses the target audience, why you are the right person to write about the book, how it differs from other books on the subject, why the subject makes sense to write about (e.g. popular subject or technology) One of the things I am looking in when I get book proposals for review
it's definitely consistent across the anglosphere in my experience.

indeed, one of the non- American sensitivities, given other nation's relatively socialised medicines, is the application of comparatively redundant/ inefficient/pointless treatments on individuals nearing their end of life, because a lot of medical treatments assume the patient actually has prospects of recovery or the ability to gain utility from the outcome of a treatment. for instance, should you provide socialised elective (or otherwise) surgery to a 98 year old with dementia. what about physio for their "recovery period"?

you can get a lot of pressure for treatments to "do something" (both from family members and from cost-recovery incentives... course in for profit systems those problems don't go away, and this is not addressing the issues with medicine that would genuinely require family intervention)

This reads a bit like the medical profession's inability to acknowledge its own fallibility.

I don't know if I would have qualified as a "daughter from California", but I have intervened in the care of a couple of family members, and in one case in particular it was for a pretty flagrant cock-up.

I'm busy with my own life. I haven't always been able to visit relatives as often as I'd like. I try to ask questions about their health when the topic comes up, but I also have to trust them and their caregivers to be competent.

But when there's a serious life event, I'll show up, and bring curiosity with me, and sometimes that uncovers mistakes made by people who are simply less invested in the well-being of my relative.

In my grandfather's case, some long-term health issues got him admitted into a home hospice program. Overall, it was a great program. But, he was in it for well over three years. Home hospice is structured to last for around six months. There's a common drug cocktail of benzodiazepines and opioids that gets administered in increasing dosages to bed-ridden hospice patients, to help "ease them along". It's not common knowledge that this happens and it can be done without the family's knowledge or consent. In cases involving pain or anxiety or end-of-life care, it's a kindness.

But the medical literature specifically advises against it in elderly patients that are still mobile, because it significantly lowers their blood pressure and when they stand up it can cause them to pass out.

That's what happened to my grandfather. He got banged up pretty good and admitted back into the hospital, which is a bad place to spend much time when you're elderly. He was hallucinating when I saw him and his mobility was far worse than it had been when I saw him several months prior.

So, I started asking questions, got caught up to what was going on, started pressing the matter, and finally got to pitch his case to a visiting internist, who reviewed it and then agreed that somebody had put him on the wrong program at some point and the rest was just a combination of game-of-telephone and just-following-orders.

Dosages were gradually decreased, he regained full consciousness, got some PT, got out of the hospital, and had another couple of years of grandchildren and great-grandchildren and friends and so on.

"Daughter from California Syndrome" may just as well be a term for the systemic errors that many people in medicine would prefer not to acknowledge.

One was the Andrew mentioned by Keivan who basically wanted to acquihire Keivan/AppGet but he lacked the clout to do so. Another was a manager, let's randomly call him Bart who decided to build an in house solution, grabbed a few people and created WinGet. While Andrew couldn't make it, Bart also didn't manage to secure enough funding to reach his goals so we are now in this cursed state where AppGet is gone, and Bart's team is very slowly moving along so no good solution is available and frustrated by the lack of results Bart might get shut down any minute...
Why would anyone even care
This exists in programming too. People joining a project often start pushing for it to include every great idea they heard about at their last job (or the one they bounced to/from). Psychologically I think it's the same thing. Call it "Developer from Google Syndrome" I guess.
