I commented elsewhere that there is no physical reason why the Bernoulli effect would cause the upper streamline and the lower streamline to reach the back of the wing at the same time - and to my knowledge there is no experimental evidence that it does. I may be wrong about that but I have never seen an adequate rebuttal.
Thanks, I was not aware the launcher could be swapped out so easily. This seems like a decent option if I want to keep my Shield.
I once asked an Alexa device in my kitchen for a unit conversion or the weather or something.

It responded as it always had, then advertised something after the response, some new Amazon feature I didn't care about.

I calmly but immediately ripped it out of the wall and spiked it hard into the tile floor, where it shattered into pieces. It went out with the garbage that day.

Vote with your eyeballs. Smash that shit to pieces and never buy anything that says Google or Android on it ever again.
20 or so years ago I was around your age.

I'd just been told that the job I'd moved to that city for didn't exist. They had thought twice about it after last time we talked but they hadn't bothered telling me.

I got around $50 in the hand for the hassle.

I was almost broke and in a bad condition mentally. At one point I had to cross a rather large bridge with significant potential for jumping as I walked several kilometers back after looking for work.

I remember being afraid that I would jump. I was praying but inside I felt so worthless because of past mistakes that I hardly believed it had any effect so I ended up urging $DEITY to listen to my nice Grandma at least because I knew she was praying for us.

Point is not if it worked or not but that I was utterly hopeless.

My most realistic expectation about the future was that I could hopefully avoid doing anything criminally wrong or very morally wrong.

Boy was I wrong.

Many people are happy for me today and my life is awesome.

Was my life really that bad back then? Maybe not, but depression messes with ones brain.

The World Mortality Dataset: Tracking excess mortality across countries during the COVID-19 pandemic

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7852240.2/

"Summing up the excess mortality estimates across all countries in our dataset gives 3.3 million excess deaths. In contrast, summing up the official COVID-19 death counts gives only 2.1 million deaths."

Interestingly enough, their conclusion was that covid deaths are being undercounted:

"At the time of writing, the world’s official COVID-19 death count is 2.9 million. Our results suggest that the true toll may be above 4.5 million."

Doesn't paper comes mostly from managed forests? Or maybe you attach a higher value to the life of trees than most people? (which is fine, just surprising to me)
> I can think of examples of less integrated Vietnamese communities in the UK and more integrated Pakistani communities, and vice versa. What can't be ignored is the level of racism groups are subjected to: it seems obvious to say that people will integrate better if they have people willing to integrate with them.

It's not all obvious to me that:

(1) some Vietnamese and Pakistani communities in the UK faced more racism than other Vietnamese and Pakistani communities in other parts of the UK,

and (2) that was the cause of the different amounts of integration between those communities.

Do you have any data to back up this contention?
"but maybe the underlying point was that it isn't possible to statically know how much stack size would be required."

Given the time frame you're talking about, remember to be thinking in terms of kilobytes, not gigabytes. And potentially low-single-digit numbers of kilobytes. It could be in the range of hundreds of bytes dedicated to stacks at the time. Even if you could compute your maximum size it's easy to imagine people balking a the results of such a computation and think it's not worth it to even consider the possibility because you'd blow your stack so quickly it's not like there'd be any benefit to it.

So I have a shield and have yet to check, but with the new Chromecast with Google TV there is an option in the settings to switch to Apps Mode(I'm pretty sure that's what it's called). This gives you the shield look with only your apps and zero "suggestions" (which are somehow always for shows and movies on services you don't have). I hope the shield has something similar.
Likewise. I’ll probably end up writing an aggregation tool, a Bayesian filter, and a summary-bot, and just skip caring about what the chattering mobs say about the news of the day. Except for a very few tightly-moderated groups, most threads are nasty muck and rarely a pearl. I’ll be better off without reading them.
Umm .. 24% increase to 134 means, what, 26 extra deaths? And how many more than 23 would have died due to COVID without mitigations (quite aside from teenagers being vectors.) So you are saying entirely lift all mitigations due to a couple of dozen (very sad) deaths in the middle of literally 100s of thousands of deaths, and also exclude e.g. reduction in other deaths due to reduced transport and other infections.

So, yeah, the restrictions haven't been immediately lifted because that would be entirely unjustified.

If you subscribe to cable/satellite television, you expect there to be advertising. I'm not certain, but i suspect the agreement you sign while signing up for cable or streaming services, would include some sort of advertising clause.

Ie, u less a service explicitly promotes am ad-free experience, there should be no expectations of such.
Side note:

Not really ads, but kinda ads. I wish Apple TV would let me hide shows they are pushing.

Yes, and as much as I dislike political correctness, I sometimes wonder if it's a response, perhaps even a necessary response, to the accelerating politicisation and polarisation brought on by the web. If all events and even facts must be framed according to a simplifying narrative then I wonder if the human mind/brain is doing something similar in order to operate stably? This could be the origin of the ego -- a set of unacknowledged fears and desires which shape a personal story or set of goals through which we attempt to organise our lives.

My Nvidia Shield experience has been great. I can basically use it as another computing device:

- since it easily mounts external hard drives over the network, I can use it as a NAS for backing up photos from my phone via SMB.

- Likewise, the Plex server has made it easy for me to make good use of my huge library of music on my external hard drive.

- GameStream is awesome. Streaming games from my PC to my TV is trivial and is much more enjoyable than sitting at my desk.

- I don't get the complaints about the interface. It's the perfect level of intuitive for my entire family. TV on, my entertainment system + Shield switches on quickly via CEC, getting to Netflix/Amazon is trivial.
Except that some of the notation has changed a little. But it's insanely good and impactful for a piece that is only 8 pages long, if I remember correctly.
In reality the Linux and web versions are not similar to the actual Windows client. For instance the Linux version is stuck to 2×2 video streams at best, doesn't support background blurring, audio/video quality is inferior, doesn't support sharing a single window, no breakout rooms etc [0]. None of these are of any considerable importance to me but Linux or the web has never been priority for Teams nor will ever be. In fact I will not be surprised if/when Linux is dropped completely when transitioning to Webview2. Judging by the "PR-speak" [1] this is what probably will happen anyway.

An extremely low bar, it was incredibly poor software. The Teams migration was great compared to that, even for messaging.

For VC and file collaboration Teams seems good in absolute, for messaging it seems good only relative to that. Messaging feels like a third-priority feature in Teams. If you're coming from a good messaging experience and that's what you mostly use Teams for then it's no doubt a really poor experience.

"mining pools will be able to dig deeper into the mempool (for transactions that are unlikely to be included in the current block) and construct full block templates before the current block is found. Then they can send those block templates to miners ahead of time when the latency doesn’t matter, so that only the prevhash message needs to be sent to actually start the new mining round."
Sorry but I have to side with reddit here. He said it's aimed at power users for whom it doesn't matter that it's hidden because they know how to use this feature.

It's advantageous for Reddit to have accounts with emails, why shouldn't they incentivise users to supply them during the registration process? It's their website nonetheless.
Oh, it's so absolutely lovely.

Although this is my 4th, I haven't been to the last seven in a row. From 2014 to 2021, it has changed substantially in some ways (many more women and people of color, for example) and stayed almost identical in others (feral children starting businesses to be able to buy toys and ice cream, etc).

This is the first time I've had the bus, so we have a little more creature comfort than before.

I have an Apple TV and I want to like it, but the remote is utter garbage. Every time I so much as brush against it, it does some weird shit, like pause playback, go into fast forward, change the program or whatever... so then there's a mad scramble "where's that fucking remote?" as I try to figure out what appendage touched it so I can find it and undo whatever it decided to do. I'm afraid to stretch my legs or arms for fear of breaking playback.

Amazon got their remote right. Everything is an actual BUTTON and there aren't too many of them. Absolutely no complaints with that.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough or didn't interduce myself well, so let me try to fix it. I'm a secular Jew by birth. I was born and raised in Israel. I looked at this project more like a child phone that parents will buy for their kids to be safe and able to call for help if needed, but still protect them from unwanted exposure to an inappropriate Internet content without the required parental guidance. I didn't try to change anyone's way of living. Anyone who knows any orthodox community (there are plenty with many differences, Amish for instance) knows how rigid and inflexible they tend to be regarding technology. In my opinion, this tiny and silly project was just going to help them without compromising their values, something they will not do anyway. It was the time were feature phones and smart phones still existed next to each other, and our customers might have been the few people in the world that were upset from the fact that a device that used to be able to only make phone calls can now be used to browse the Internet. If you want to learn more about the project, I've presented everything back at RECon 2014 https://youtu.be/AMkD75tPRDI

It sure feels thought provoking to read an article or a paper that essentially predict how the future will unfold, or what we need to do to prevent something from developing in the future. And yet, the future is inherently unpredictable, and these exercises in predicting fail more often than not. Even if there is something that could be predicted becomes the reality, the degree of expression of that reality could not have been predicted.

> Typing helps the most with large, venerable projects

I disagree. I've started using types from the ground up and it helps almost equally at every stage of the game. Also I aggressively rely on autocomplete for methods. It's faster this way than usual "dynamic" or "pythonic" python.

Part of it might be exactly because writing my datatypes first helps me think about the right abstractions.

The big win with python is maybe 2-10% of functions, I just want to punt and use a dict. But I have shifted >80% of what used to be dicts to Models/dataclasses and it's so much faster to write and easier to debug.
Yes, if something like that happens, the people making dire predictions would have been right.
Isn't the intent of a smooth aerofoil design to prevent the formation of vortices on the trailing edge? They're inevitable at the wingtip, but in controlled flight most wings are trying to produce laminar flow, right?

In my understanding, if you increase angle of attack sufficiently to generate vortices on the upper surface, then you aren't efficiently transferring downward momentum to the air your wing is shedding, and you lose lift, which causes aerodynamic stall. Am I missing something?

Using a Windows laptop does not solve the part of the problem where Windows is not a friendly user interface for TV use. Android TV and Apple TV are nice to use because the interface is designed around sitting at your couch and controlling it with a remote with limited inputs.

There's no such launcher on Windows that doesn't deal with the pitfalls of it being Windows. Even something like Steam's Big Picture doesn't really work very well in certain circumstances because you can be thrown out of the launcher onto the desktop unexpectedly by games it launches.

I think the only way we could see a good implementation of this is if Microsoft themselves made it. They tried doing something like this with Windows Media Center but I think that they're better positioned to try again now that streaming services are ubiquitous.
Reddit is bad (not to say completely garbage after the "new UI") since about 2015.It become even more prevalent when Tencent(known destroyer of online communities, especially in gaming) throwed some money into it about 2 years ago.

Everything from usability, moderation, non-transparency in decision-making continues to make it a bubble that completely defies the what it used to be when it first took off.

It's not worth even going into details, and sadly alternatives like mastodon or something are not yet there (for again, a multitude of reasons).
It is interesting that apparently the GOP's email server was hacked as well, but nothing was ever released publicly. I'm no fan at all of the DNC but if "all politicians are dirty" is a thing, then why did no dirt spill out from the other side?

The shield remote does use Bluetooth I believe, I haven't dug into its internals though.

I kinda imagine that a "real solution" would involve some kind of Android environment, though. Your solution works, if the user has not opted into the youtube/spotify/netflix ecosystem. If they have, it's not a real solution.

I care about my youtube account -- I pay for it, in fact. The recommendation engine is extremely good if you curate it, and I've curated it a ton. YouTube is a beast for knowledge/learning center. Spotify has a really good and extensive music library which makes "not pirating" a real option.

At the end of the day, you need a good UI that implements the features of those services. No third party is working full-time to implement these in open source, and they'd likely shut down if they did. So relying on the upstream apps somehow makes sense.
They are trying to get him on the conspiracy with Manning's unauthorized access, based on chat logs AIUI.

They have already done a great job turning public opinion against him, though: the completely false claim that he was charged with rape is widely believed and repeated. Anyone who has fallen for this false narrative is encouraged to read the exact words of the women involved.

He has also been effectively imprisoned without trial for about a decade now.

Mostly he just serves as an example to what happens to people extrajudicially for fucking in any way with the US surveillance state and war apparatus.
I think social media needs to be redefined. What the average person thinks social media is is very different than what it actually is.

I think a lot of people think big social media platforms are actually communication platforms, they're not. They're designed intentionally to be difficult to communicate on.

That the not the purpose of them, it's in the name 'social media' they are the media, you are the social. They are creating media based on the things users post. They're not made to facilitate communication between friends, family, coworkers, etc...

They are designed specifically for users to generate monetizable content and data. They use a veneer of 'connecting the world together' so users will generate content that drives clicks and makes them money.

A true global communication platform would look nothing like the social media we have today. It would be designed around allowing people to communicate easily and freely, it would give you control over who and what you interact with and it would allow you to maintain granular levels of privacy.

Ya know...like other systems designed to facilitate communications...like say the telephone system...
I have a Shield TV and I really despise this change. I bought a device that did NOT show ads on the home screen, now it does. How is that not... it just should NOT be allowed.

Scaling RISC-V will be orders of magnitude easier than anything of the X86 lineage. It’s a new clean modern design with so much less complexity and legacy baggage. Intel could build crazy fast RISC-V designs within a few years at most if they want to.

A very interesting path back to relevance for Intel would be to design proprietary absolutely crazy fast RISC-V cores and market them in the data center and HPC markets first. The tooling on Linux is about there. Eventually they could get an initially small but very loyal developer laptop market going too. A good RISC-V design could easily compete with the Apple M1.

Get enough momentum and a Windows port could happen. Then you could reboot the PC market.

The automotive and drone niches would be interesting too. There is a market there for low power high performance chips for things like driving assist and autonomy. A new instruction set wouldn’t matter much since the whole software stack is more or less custom anyway.

At the very least it would be a way to hedge in case X86 really does start to enter a death spiral.
How does this compare with something like Matrix, which also does decentralized encrypted communications?
