Intermediate: How to Improve Quality of Image by Huawei HiAI Service in Android
what the purpose of a free press is

I see it as a source of events that then can be discussed with actual people around you to create a world view. This way an information either misses you completely or you relate to a trusted group that has it. In a world where news are complete, there is nothing to discuss, because authoritative (or not, it’s hard to check) sources already said everything. This swithces discussion from learning all the details to taking the presented details. This is a problem known as “what’s not being said”, and personally I see it everywhere now. I.e. if we disagreed on an interpretation, it was you versus me (both at least knowing each other). With context-ed news it’s your sources versus my sources, which we both are unable to really check adequately, because it’s a recursive problem. That induces beliefs instead of thinking. I believe that context should be left vague at least. If there are questions, press should formulate them, not answer.
It doesn't sound like you really would, though. "I'd be interested to see if you have any counter-arguments, or rather, ones that haven't already been replied to"? Is that a way to ask for a frank exchange of views that predisposes your interlocutor to expect an honest and unbiased discussion? Because to me it sounds more like a preemptive dismissal of anyhing I'd possibly say.

I also don't like to hold internet conversations with commenters who talk of "arguments" like they're goals in football, whereby points are scored. If you want to exchange views because you think my views are useful to you, then please let me know that you want to have a genuine and constructive conversation. If you just want to win some culture war, then go away.

> Again, this chip should never cost more than a dollar, even in single unit quantities.

Do you want to say we should abolish free market?

There are alternatives to FTDI in its niche but for some reason people prefer FTDIs chips even though the cost much more than alternatives.

It is practically definition of fair competition. Some try to produce cheap and some try to produce quality.
Lol, like it's literally just 3 times 7, just approximate the square root and literally count up.
The BG-95 M3 has NB-IoT and 2G in addition to LTE-M.

The point of this gateway was mostly to have a platform for rapid prototyping and flexibility in applications where power consumption isn't a concern. And in many scenarios you can have a gateway that is plugged into the wall and need not run on batteries.

It also provides a platform where the gateway is suitable to run more involved server software, to eliminate the need for separate server infrastructure.

We've made a few low power gateways based on the nRF9160 from Nordic Semiconductor, but while these are really small and draw very little power, they are also very resource constrained. So you can't run server software on them.

AI used to identify devices, shows IoT and other connected device trends in NA
CUJO AI provides cybersecurity for telecom operators, and its AI models identify devices to alert end-users and network operators in case a device starts acting out of character.

This report reviews the aggregated data that CUJO AI gets from network service providers to improve its threat detection and device identification models.

It covers over 1 billion devices in North America over a period of 15 months, showing what devices people started using more during the pandemic/quarantine, which devices were the most popular during last year's holiday season, and what IoT devices are gaining popularity.

There's quite a lot of data in there, from gaming console popularity and distribution, to trends in smart doorbells and photo frames, and the most popular iOS and Android mobile devices.
You are talking about government spending? And arguing that they may not be in a budgetary surplus?

Because if they are in positive GDP then they are in an economic surplus… that’s what gdp is right? Else they are in a recession.

Neither of which matter to my point, because the pie is ALREADY big enough for a living wage for everyone.
Do you have a good source for that? I only found one slightly confusing blog post.
Suppose you create an API that allows users to enter nonsensical data or do things that are very bad for performance. Later, you realize your mistake, create a new, improved version of your API, and deprecate the old API.
However, as long as you keep the old API for backward compatibility, you will have to deal with nonsensical data and poor performance.
> FTDI is not pricing their products competitively.

There are alternatives to FTDI that are not clones to FTDI. For whatever reason people prefer to use FTDI in their design.

FTDI does quite well on their chips which means it is stupid to say their products are not priced competitively -- they have competition and are still winning at it.

Interesting idea in some ways, but I didn't really see how these could be inferred:

> We also have more direct evidence. First, aliens must be very old and stable, so they less want or experience innovation and change compared to us.

This is just a ??? from me. What if observing us is part of a mechanism of universal or cosmic change of some sort? To measure a thing, even to watch it, is to yield at least the beginnings of control.

And why must they be very old and stable?

> Second, they aren’t remaking the universe much around here, or anywhere we can see, yet such remaking would have happened naturally unless they had coordinated strongly to prevent it.

They seem to be able to come from, and go to, places we can't see. In fact they seem to be specialists in doing so. So I'm not sure how it follows that we can say that they are or aren't doing this or that with any certainty. Who knows what they do when they blink out of sight or take off at 29 Gs.

> Thus they must have a strong “world” government, and also a policy of preventing mass colonization and remaking of the universe.

That's quite a conclusion to draw. To me, even trying to tie the variously differing encounters, objects, shapes, and narrated experiences of these things into a single, unified "them" is logically and intuitively questionable.

> Third, they haven’t killed us yet

How do we even know this. I mean really, we could be figments of their imagination. Or they could have killed some of us and decided the rest of us will be dessert, kept for later.

> , and they also let us see them, so they can’t feel very threatened by us at our current level.

We have basically zero control over or knowledge of when we get to see them and what we see. To me this could mean they feel very threatened, for all we know, in that they appear only on their terms.

> Fourth, they refuse to talk to us, so they don’t respect us that much, and aren’t that interested in running the details of our world or our lives, or in converting us to their beliefs. In a great many ways, we are just “beneath” them.

There are accounts that some have talked. Subsets of accounts that some refuse to. And various intersections of the two.

There are also accounts of us shooting them down, causing them harm, etc.

Maybe some terms or definitions need to be clarified but I'm not seeing the sound logical inferences that would rule out other sets of conclusions.
There is not mechanism by what issuing public debt will reduce inflationary risks, in fact the opposite could be true.

There is a suspicion in MMT that issuing bonds and high interest rates could be actually inflationary because the interest payment of that bonds. They don't think that there is a clear proof of it, though. Note that this is the opposite of what mainstream economics believe.

Now, from the MMT perspective, issuing bonds is not necessary in order to fund spending. From the MMT perspective, bond issue is a "choice". It's not exactly a choice because there is a legal mandate, but from the practical point of view bonds are not necessary to facilitate spending. So, you could just expend without creating new bonds, and keep the public debt number as accounting device (that it's what basically is).

Even if a government "choose" to issue bonds, the interest is decided by the government through the Central Bank. The Central Bank have the capacity to keep the interest at any point they decide (as you can see in the Euro-Area at the moment). And, of course, if the bonds are owned by the Central Banks (as is the case of a lot of the USA, Euro or Yen debt at the moment), the interest will go to the government who can decide if to run a deficit or a surplus depending of the fiscal space available at the moment.

>>"and that shift in time will require additional taxes to pay for it. "

Because governments are the issues of the currency, they don't need to tax in order to spend. Increasing taxes could be necessary if you want to spend and the fiscal space is not there in the economy, but that's highly dependent of the circumstances of the economy at that point in time, not a given.

So, no, it's not reducing inflation today in order to have inflation in the future and, not, it will not require additional taxes to pay for it.

>The original intent of the patent system was to give inventors a leg up to commercialize their idea before they can be bullied out of the market by large competitors

Maybe, but I don't care at this point what the purported intent was. Reality is, it failed and made things much worse. The whole patent system, at this point, serves mainly as a barrier for small companies to enter the market. The best thing that could be done with it is to burn it to the ground.

This is mild fear mongering - I’m skeptical of Xi myself. But You are projecting the colonial powers’ treatment of the world onto a nation that has never done anything close to what you describe.
That's not true.

First, you need to talk about whole cost of production and quality of the product. When you reduce your node your development and production costs grow exponentially. Size of the wafer is only small part of the production cost.

Second, the chip area can't be arbitrarily small. You still need area to connect it with outside, area for larger components, etc. When you reduce your transistor size at some point the chip area will stop getting reduced because of packaging requirements.
> and to only download files I trust

That works for those of us with a bit of knowledge. Unfortunately it is hard for those who don't have time to, or don't want to, build that experience. How do they know what can and can't be trusted? Many bad downloads should be obvious to even a half-wit (and I'm not above unsympathetically sniggering when someone I know falls for them) but many are more clever, or difficult to avoid once you've fallen in to the trap.

That won't protect the inexperienced user from everything, by any measure.

> There's almost zero political topics where objectivity is possible. That goal itself is usually already ideology (the goal of unbiasedness often stands in opposition of truth).

> Look at global warming: Either it is man-made or not, either it is a problem for our future or not. There's no objective middle ground. Sure, one could simply have news that say "there is a drougth in the center of the US, stronger than other droughts in the last 50 years", without any context. But even this is not objective, because omitting the context of global warming already skews the message.

There is an objectivity here: scientific consensus, aka naked provable facts. And climate change is proven to be man-made, and it is proven that if humanity does nothing to curb CO2 emissions it will spiral out of control.

Objectivity in news as a result means to not give those who go against scientific consensus any platform.
> What if they had bricked life support equipment, or part of an airliner

While I agree that was a bad strategy, even more so from a PR standpoint, I'd like to believe critical industries like medical electronics or avionics would do a better job not only validating components (even at the individual level) but also subsequent software updates. Electronics are less a wear part than mechanical parts where counterfeits have an easier time sneaking in (the occasional counterfeit screw let's say).

Any scenario involving any kind of failure looks more dire when you attach it to "life support", "airplane", or "nuclear facility".
>Gemini is no different. There's overlap with the web's use cases, but its its own thing. As a user, why not both?

What does Gemini have to offer to web users that the web itself doesn't? It's entirely possible to write small, simple HTML documents without javascript on the web. Indeed, one could replace Gemini entirely with a Geocities-like service that enforced the same rules, including only allowing linking within the platform.

Alongside the web, Gemini is just a worse version of the web, it isn't different enough to be its own thing, nor does it offer anything unique. Gemini only makes sense as a means of forging a separate identity from and exclusionary of the web, as you yourself said in the original comment I replied to[0]: (If they were happy with the web, they would have stayed there.)

It makes economic sense. Damage caused by CO2 pollution doesn't make economic sense.

The anti climate change narrative also fuels macroeconomic problems as the willingness for the US to invest into its own nation decreases for no logical reason or gain.

There is nothing virtuous about being dependent on fossil fuel imports.
This is reductive. Programming languages, for better or worse, are almost 100% in English. Having such a word as its name is not helpful to the project.

On tandems the problem hasn't been stopping power for years (every since we had hydraulic brakes this has been a solved problem). The bigger issue on a tandem is that when you're going downhill you will end up overheating your brake, whatever kind of system you are using. There is just too much kinetic energy to get rid of as heat for your normal brake system to be able to deal with.
Fun fact: all of the above things are features that exist on elevator controllers. Most buildings just never have their elevators configured correctly.
> * Higher tire pressure is faster

For semi-professionals sure this is a myth for normal road surfaces, but for every day use by normal people with no knowledge whatsoever putting just over 2 bar in their wheels since that is what their cars use you definitely win efficiency, al lot.
You missed his point. There was no wrong pronoun, this is what he is claiming.
The fundamental problem is that we don't want to tell baby boomers that they will have to work until 70 in order to keep the system afloat, or that if they are rich (including the value of their house) that they should pay for their own retirement and healthcare in old age and not receive any handouts.

Instead we will allow them to retire at 60/65, pay pensions independent of their personal wealth, and run the system into the ground.

(Government spending on the healthcare and welfare - which is overwhelmingly baby boomers with expensive chronic health conditions, and their pensions - is about 50% of Government spending).

I understand that there's a long American tradition on blaming shooting sprees on everything BUT easy access to guns, but hear me out:

The fact somebody concocted an utterly absurd story from the leaks and used it to justify a killing spree demonstrates very clearly that the leaks themselves weren't at all necessary for the shooting spree.

They could have concocted pizzagate out of something else. In fact, they probably would have.

And the guy clearly wanted to shoot someone up and was looking for reasons.

At my university (in NZ), it seems you owned the IP (even if you were on a scholarship awarded by the university itself) unless you were contributing to a university- or industry-led project where there was some other agreement covering IP ownership.
However the university across the road apparently were more aggressive, taking ownership of a student's IP whenever they take part in a "University Project group" or used significant university resources.

Of course, if the IP was jointly created with anyone (e.g. supervisors) employed by the university (pretty likely!), the university would have a fractional ownership share.

>Anyone else burnt out from the outrage cycle in recent times?

Yes, and it's not surprising.

The solution to everything in society now is "let the individual provide the solution":

* Democracy = "if a politician is shit then just vote them out, you really should do your research before voting"

* Capitalism = "if they're using slave labour then just vote with your wallet til they go bankrupt - if you simply buy an object with decent specs without looking into the company's track record on labour rights, then you're complicit"

* Broken system = "call your local politician to demand reform, the problem is ultimately caused by your inaction"

* Bad news source = "spend your spare time doing research before believing random stuff on the internet then"

Society has no cap on its complexity, nor boundaries for individual responsibility in a utilitarian world. This ultimately means that the stability and moral rightness is directly limited by how much effort You The Individual are willing/able to apply at any given time.

Is it really that surprising that when people have a choice between being Atlas or living a good life, they'll choose the latter?

More to the point, this is precisely why companies specifically push for "individualism" and "freedom" from regulation - because they know people don't have time or energy to police every single organisation under the sun.

It's somewhat ironic that because of academia being increasingly managed like industry, you ended up (presumably) in industry.

We have a pretty wide collection of bikes, and all of them are in tiptop shape. None of the bikes with rim brakes have the same kind of stopping power as the disc versions. They don't even come close. Maybe there is an ideal bike somewhere that can outperform any of the disk brake systems that we have but if it exists I haven't seen it. Ever. Of course this is still 'anecdata' but I've seen a lot of bikes.

The people that still seem to push for rimbrakes here in Europe are typically semi-pro or pro cyclists, who may or may not have valid concerns regarding injury due to the disc edges being too sharp (they are now usually chamfered to allay this).
Yes, this is a serious problem. In my opinion, it is better to use the third option: Asking about tech stack and especially change of tech stack.
