I managed to wire up sirc to a perl eliza implementation once. My cobol instructer in community college thought I was a pervert for doing so and in hindsight she was probably right, I think I only ran it once honestly. Nowadays I just run an old eliza in another terminal when I chat on irc and copy and paste between the two terminals, this gets rid of the ethical concerns as there is a human between the interface acting as a guard against AI run amuck so I think I'm good.
Tried to find some mechanical data on this and couldn't :( . What's the size of it, what's the working speed of motors?..
That may change, as people realize how easy it is to track others. Will there be stories of guys who 'accidentally' leave their keys/backpack/jacket in the car of some girl who gave them a ride home from a party?

I wouldn't be surprised if within a year we start seeing devices that can scan for nearby Airtags/Tiles/etc. so you can see if there's anything in your car before you head home.

I'm working in a field where m=1 and hbar as a semiclassical scale is given as order of N (number of bosons or fermions), i.e. I don't do actual real physics...

But.... a thought experiment:

If a particle experiences time differently dependent to its speed in relative to a frame of reference, i.e. that time experienced is scaled according to its speed. Since speed is definitely not discrete, scaling it with time, even though time in itself is discrete as you claimed, still makes the time experienced for said particle to be continuous, no? Is this not a contradiction?
By the same logic what is so difficult about programming computers - it's just a bunch of zeroes and ones, very basic operations.
They require that users can't use restricted frequency ranges or raise the power level. The easiest and cheapest way for manufacturers to comply is to lock down firmwares.
And since they didn't also require open firmwares that's the effective outcome in many cases.
Hm, it certainly looks a lot like "improve the quality of the threads" == suppress industry critique.
There is AB Svenska Pass's eID which any registered resident of Sweden can get (https://skatteverket.se/id-kort) and which supports Linux.

Unfortunately, only Swedish Tax Agency services (including minmyndighetspost.se) seem to support it, which means it's not a realistic alternative.

I think all essential services should be forced to support multiple providers.

I'm pretty excited about more implicit stuff coming to Rust.

The array/iterator thing always baffled me when I first started learning Rust.

All these tiny DX improvements make the language more accessible and in turn a pleasure to work with!

Apple did not except themselves, Apple excepted any app listed in the Education category of the store.
It is funny that the US intelligentsia complains about China as being dominated by government, but there is nothing really big done in the US without huge costs for American tax payers, frequently without any retribution. This is clearly the next step: the US corporations created the "big enemy" China by exporting jobs there during the last 40 years, now they want the same taxpayers to pay for rebuilding the US industrial base that they destroyed, because they're afraid of the competition. It is really a con business.
Americans in the states that haves sales tax, which is most states, basically ignore it. It's known that the price tag isn't what you pay but it's generally not much. No one here looks twice when your 2 dollar coke suddenly becomes $2.16.

Of course, depending on where you are, your 2.16 coke could also jump up to 2.21 or 2.26 because of the bottle deposit. And then another 2.34-2.42 if there's a sugar tax. It could even go up to 2.46 - 2.54 depending on if you buy that coke in a store vs a restaurant.

There's some hyperbole there, but the cities and states get to tack on their own taxes for whatever reason and the public largely doesn't care.
In this case technically correct is not the best kind of correct. An N95 mask is about 95% effective in preventing spread indoors. Isn't it critically important to know that being outdoors is apparently roughly as effective as one of the most effective masks? People spend more time inside than outside, so maybe it's not 5x as effective, but outdoors is much, much safer than indoors. If the real number is .1% for outdoors then you are actually better off being outdoors than wearing an N95.

I don't envy the CDC, it is almost impossible to communicate anything even slightly complicated. When they announced that vaccinated people could gather in small groups, at least one person I know interpreted that as saying it was low-risk to go to church in a large gathering with singing.

The way I understand TFA, the $8.50/hr is what VW would charge you to use (unlock) their self-driving per hour. The article contrasts the quoted $8.50/hr with Tesla's $10,000 up front purchase required to unlock their self-driving.

Mikael at Candela, the hydrofoil boat maker, here. Yes, that's a key difficulty that has to be solved by using sensors that detect flight height, and distance to the waves, among other things. If the foil leaves the water, you ventilate and come down. We use a flight controller, a kind of computer, to perform these calculations. Some sailing boats have wands, ie a mechanical stick that detects waves in front of the boat,, but using ultrasonic sensors and adjustable hydrofoils is a way more accurate solution.

I think GlobalFoundries pretty much abandoned the idea of actually improving their tech (https://www.anandtech.com/show/13277/globalfoundries-stops-a...).

I'm not sure what's changed since then.

It may work for GF, but it's not enough for national security interests - critical parts of the supply chain depend on a potentially hostile foreign power (and it's not just silicon).

I'd say the US should invest in TSMC, and push to expand manufacturing capabilities to domesticate some production - but good luck convincing taxpayer's that that's a good idea.

>34. Viewed together, three main facts indicate that Microsoft enjoys monopoly power. First, Microsoft's share of the market for Intel-compatible PC operating systems is extremely large and stable. Second, Microsoft's dominant market share is protected by a high barrier to entry. Third, and largely as a result of that barrier, Microsoft's customers lack a commercially viable alternative to Windows.

I was under the impression that airtags used some kind of Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum so there was no chance to emulate one without some dedicated hardware but that link seems to say otherwise.

Today is the beginning 'wild west' stage of the information technology industry. Software ate the world and now security is starting to matter to the bottom line.

GDPR and privacy are another big factor which I think will push the professionalization of the industry.

I do think the worst case scenario outlined in this article is unlikely. We can build systems that are not that vulnerable to ransomware. You can have backups that are safely stored off network. It is just that old industries have slowly computerized without updating their processes and view of themselves.

Every company is a tech company now.
The parent comment says ‘while being paid the exact same as someone on the SWE or PM track.’ Not ‘less than a SWE’, as you imply.

Why should a data scientist be paid more than a SWE? Because they have to learn several different topics? That is not such a big deal in my opinion (I work as a DS).

This language of ‘unicorns’ has been highly damaging to the field. There is nothing magical about a job which requires a lot of varied technical knowledge. Try looking at a syllabus for some other scientific subject. It’s fairly normal.

That's good to hear that you've been marketing it in a way that discourages parents from using it as free babysitting, or worse, punishment! I hope that you can manage to keep it that way. Every source of free tutoring I've ever been involved with has quickly devolved into more or less free babysitting for the worst kind of parents.

I wonder if a 'karma' system is possible by which students and tutors could give positive feedback to one another and students could 'unlock' highly rated tutors and visa versa. As someone who has spent a fair amount of time tutoring students (when I was a student myself, admittedly) I can certainly say that tutoring an unappreciative student will quickly sour the experience for a lot of folks, even if the majority are appreciative.
I just went to streeteasy.com and looked at 10 random condos in Manhattan with a price between $20 and $30 MM and then 10 others between $1 and $2 MM. The average tax rate for the first category was 0.37%. For the second 1.07%. In both cases the standard deviation was about one third of the average.
Isn't that the cost of the entire space shuttle program (including R&D) divided by the number of launches? I believe the real cost of turning around a shuttle flight towards the end to the program was a fraction of this.

I wonder what the cost of a currrent spacex flight is doing this same kind of accounting. I don't suppose anyone really knows since spacex is a private company.
This isn‘t a great solution because the venn diagram of „good at people managing“ and „good at engineering“ is not anywhere close to a circle.

In fact for any job this is largely true, to the point of being a media trope. Michael Scott in The Office is a fantastic salesman and a pretty terrible manager.
Nim has extremely low compilation times...order 200 millisec with the TinyCC/tcc backend and order 800 millisec with gcc (both for the zero length empty module). Less trivial projects (say transitively importing 25 modules) are more like 1.2 seconds and 5..6 seconds. All of these numbers are about to improve quite a bit with incremental compilation which is under active development, but they are already quite friendly/fast code-test-code again cycles.

You can even write a "script" by putting "#!/usr/bin/nim r" at the top of your file (like #/bin/sh) and making it executable. (With nim r the compilation will be cached and so not require much time at all.) I would not call Nim a scripting language as typically understood (e.g. with 100 usec to 15 msec startups), but both compile|use cached & run makes it more similar than most alternatives. pypy3 on an empty file on the same machine as the above timings takes 40 ms, for example.

There is also a mode called "nim script" where rather than running an external C/C++/nodejs compiler a restricted subset can be compiled and run right on the same VM Nim uses for its Lisp-like macro facility. That only takes about 100 ms, but the savings relative to 200..250 ms with no subset restrictions may not be very compelling.

TL;DR is that Nim gives you a lot of options. In this and in most things, really (memory management, code style, etc., etc.).

dude are you insane? in germany your 9000 EUR salary would be huge. and saying you put 1000€/mth away before you calculate is even more insane...
You would get a Netto of around ~4.800 €, which would be more than 80% of all germans will make. Also you could easily make more by reducing social payments (which you can do if you get over 6000 € brutto).

"950/mth in health insurance", wow....... not sure what an insurance you have, but you will probably get 1000 € if you accidentially have a small wound... for 1000 € a month you get the all inclusive package probably. I never heard of somebody that pays a private health insurance 1000€/mth.

sorry to say it, but your entitlement mentality is insane. I can tell you what, in germany with over 9000€ you start to be in the high class.

just some real numbers, not a developer but a normal muncipial employee (no civil servant) with an age of 35 years will make +-3500€ brutto, which is already way more than many people will do (more than 50%)

The Fed could possibly buy TSM and provide loan and grants to TSMC to accelerate their plant in Phoenix. I don't know how much that would impact the projected 2024 start of operations. https://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/news/2021/03/02/taiwan-s... This is an especially good position for Taiwan right now. Also worth noting the concerns around available labor to staff the operation https://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/news/2021/03/02/taiwan-s... as much of the US lacks effective infrastructure.
> Currently developers build ultra-luxury property because it's way more profitable than building affordable property. This needs to change.

It's possible that developers build 'ultra-luxury' because building affordable property isn't profitable at all. Developing real estate in any major metro area in the US is insanely regulated and time-consuming.

Fair enough, but commercial viability is the point of copyright. It's an exclusive distribution right of a creative work. We've carved out tons of exceptions for copyright for things like parody, educational purposes, etc., but at it's core it's a distribution right and nothing else. Instead of working in an existing property, it's better to create something new, even if you're inspired by the other thing. The entirety of the music industry for how this works in practice in our current framework. The games industry also has lots of good examples of creating new works using existing ideas without violating copyright.

To respond to this specific point, though "...we have a right to build upon that heritage to create something even better for the next generation". We already do this, we create tropes and then write new stories using those tropes. Creating new is better than just rehashing existing properties and longer copyright terms actually encourage new works because you can't rely on older properties for your material. I think they're too long for virtually all works because most works are commercial failures. They could find new audiences if their distribution rights weren't locked up. MST3K is a great example of doing something new with an existing property that is only possible with term limits.
I'm with you on removing tax incentives like that, but do not think requiring affordable housing is very useful.

I have a friend that lived in a rent controlled unit that did not have hot water for almost an entire year. Requiring 'affordable' units creates really strange incentives. New York should just fix the root cause: zoning.

Upzone the entire city or just remove zoning restrictions everywhere.
Out of interest, does that mean they are using 4 IPs per customer? If they're handing out one /30 per customer.

The article neatly ignores the reality that Cloudflare is a shitty company that wants to lock everyone possible in as much as possible, that wants to re-centralize the Internet, that wants to become a monopoly.

For every product or service they create, ask yourself this: if taken to the logical conclusion where a majority of people use Cloudflare, do their products help the world, or do their products help them? Do they help the world to their detriment, or do they help Cloudflare to the detriment of the world?

Anyone except fanbois will realize that re-centralization will only hurt the world and will only help Cloudflare, no matter which service or product it is.

They're a shitty company with shitty, dishonest, disingenuous people who spout bullshit and make money off of scammers and spammers. I don't think that's going to change any time soon.

I, for one, am tired of seeing constant Cloudflare propaganda and masturbation on this site.
So here the things that stand out to me between what you linked and what the other person said...

From your link:

"at one-eighth of the standard cost of development...Each bedroom unit has its own bathroom and shower to allow for isolation during the pandemic". So there are special pandemic isolation considerations factored in, which surely increases costs. That doesn't sound terrible if real shelter is being provided.

Do we think that California can just ship homeless people off somewhere else that won't then try to ship them back? Or do we think that the cost of building new infrastructure for them all in the middle of nowhere will be lower than the cost of building housing in already established infrastructure? I mean, it's obviously not as cheap as dumping them in the ocean, but that's not our target standard.

Between your link and the other person:

300 people sounds very different than "them all".

Mikael at Candela here. Because it's super hard to make the control system for an inherently unstable boat. It took five years of R&D to make it work in all manners of situations, banked turns etc. Conventional boat builders don't have access to software and control systems engineers, and tech companies seldom invest in the marien sector. But once we got it working, there are no real drawbacks, only benefits. Smooth, quiet, and fun to drive. Check out candela.com for more videos.
