I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. You're misguided, but have reasonable questions!

Here's the deal for me, cost-wise. I can go on Sparkfun, Adafruit, Digikey, Arrow, etc and get these known compatible pieces of essentially Lego that already have firmware support/libraries ready to go. Digikey (who stocks both Adafruit and Sparkfun parts) will have them on my doorstep tomorrow morning. Using the existing libraries, I'll have the a skeleton of a system up and running by tomorrow afternoon. I'll have the prototype up and running in 3 days.

Then, if everything seems to look like it's going to work well and I want to pursue the project further, I'll fire up Eagle or CircuitStudio and lay out a board. Upload it to Macrofab and wait 3 weeks for my fully assembled boards to arrive. And then port the firmware from my prototype over to the assembled boards. Or rewrite the firmware, depending on the quality of the specific sensor libraries.

It's all about bootstrapping the process. When I get a board from Adafruit or Sparkfun, I've got a pretty good belief that it's going to be high quality and fit well within their existing ecosystem of parts and libraries. Building a prototype out of those parts helps de-risk the project and accelerate the project by cutting out most of the up-front dicking around to get it working.

Plus, the vast majority of these boards also have schematics and part numbers provided. When I go to design a real board, I'll use those as references.
Technically, they aren't distributing Your Content. It's laundered through their machine learning model first.
The people who have used their VR hardware say it's excellent.
It isn't just facebook that will see this decline, they are the bellwether in social media so to speak since they are the largest player. Expect an across the board drop in revenue for social media and any company that uses ads and tracking of users behavior as its primary form of income.

Hopefully this will signal a pivot in ad tracking and lead more companies to try subscription based services.
In the same vain streaming sites don't distribute movies, they show them to, you in a hosted environment. and this argument did not hold up in court.
Maddy’s work is great and worth reading (even as an antirealist!), but it’s worth keeping in mind that debates about foundations are basically irrelevant to the working lives of the large majority of mathematicians. If you’re studying, say, extremal graph theory or the Langlands program or low-dimensional topology, the cardinality of the continuum is simply not relevant.
If you squint enough, an event loop and the smaller RTOSes look pretty damn similar. And embedded is a massive range of devices and approaches, and I don't think the Rust projects are claiming to cover all of it with one thing. So the approach doesn't seem obviously useless to me, and things will adjust as needed if there's problems.
I think it has a lot more to do with burnout than anything else, and the article does kind of touch on that a bit. Working through the pandemic was tough but, it was important, so we push through to be helpful. Now that it’s done though, I think some healthy down-time is in order and the two weeks or whatever you get normally isn’t going to cut it.
Does anyone play AAA titles off of SD cards? Wouldn't it take forever to load stuff?
It is. A so called digital signal is still an analog signal which must be processed. You only obtain the digital signal after you process it. The main issue here is that the digital signal is much more complex and due to this much sensible to noise. When it rains for example the analog signal will still be visible as long as the sync part can be decoded. For digital signal noise will be replaced by predicted frames. The issue is that a lot of providers have a very bad quality and they rely heavily on predicted frames. And when the key frames are not available (due to noise) good luck predicting the rest of the frames.
That is actually basically what we are doing. Except the whole application gets replaced too.

(I have to write the sync code from the new system to the old one)
Its a bad look to blame feminism honestly, women are just looking out for themselves and its just healthy in a way. If you're irretrievably redpilled on this then not much I can say there.

2020's pandemic and the associated mess with society is a thing. Just look out for yourself. Therapy is fine, you don't have to broadcast to everyone that you've chatted about issues. I've had a few sessions and to be honest, even those few sessions have given me ways to have internal conversations with myself by just imagining what a therapist would say. Just thought I'd offer that.

Still, take care of yourself, we only have one life here on the planet, plus you can't depend on 100 percent of the folks you run into to be on your side, most of us can be pretty self centered but don't let external insanities live in your head rent free. Humans are just not perfect beings.

Look forward to the future, surprises can and do happen. Cultivate friendships where you can.
Agreed. I've been thinking about making a "sandbox" mode like this where you can jump right in based on a template. Since there have been multiple others asking for something like this, I'll boost the priority.
My understanding is that their Index VR hardware is quite good too.
I logged in to post this exact suggestion. A couple of templates like [married home owners] and [single renter] that would jumpstart the process would be nice.
For the same reason that integers have the same cardinality as only odd numbers. You can create a 1:1 mapping between them.
Letting people hold interest-bearing dollar equivalents (USDC, DAI) in countries with weak finance infrastructure.
Or make other changes that make it possible for more people to do away with cars- better mass transit, better pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, less urban sprawl, more condensed housing options, etc

The only thing this proves is that mathematics is a soft science, where concepts like "number" and "infinite" are subjective.

There are obviously infinite numbers, if you think there's a finite number of numbers, take that number and add one to that. QED
There's a big difference between "massive success" and having a gallery show. Once you have a decent relationship with a gallery, if you don't care so much about money you can just let the gallery handle that side of things.

A friend of mine has been a professional painter for the last 50-ish years. He makes a couple trips a year to the gallery to deliver paintings. The gallerist tries to take that chance to suggest a few motifs that seem to sell better, but doesn't get too pushy.
I agree that those two statements can elicit different responses. I try to take the latter statement even closer to expressing myself. Instead of saying "I believe what you did is rude" I'll try to say "When you did that thing, I felt angry or if I'm more honest, sad."

I wrote a post on this back in the day calling it the subjective adjective, basically that when we use adjectives, often it carries an objective nature to it, aka "everyone believes this is the description" and even if you were to say to me "I believe what you did was rude" I may lock in on "rude" and forget it was your perspective. I may even ignore your emphasis on what I did and put it who I am. "This person is calling me rude!" Even though you weren't.

So I try as much as I can, especially in conflict scenarios, to avoid using adjectives about them or their actions and more so to use adverbs (I think?) about how I'm feeling.

"You're rude" to "I believe what you did is rude" to "I felt hurt when you did that."
It's true, and a huge point. Until Squeak came along I as a hobbyist -- who was really interested in Smaltalk -- simply couldn't get my hands on a Smalltalk (other than GNU Smalltalk which doesn't count). All through the 80s and early 90s I salivated at screenshots and descriptions of it, but never got to play with it.

That said, When I did finally get Squeak, I found it pretty neat, but it just never blew me away like I thought it would. I just didn't have anything to do with it.
why is it anyone else’s business to see that data? why would they be entitled to? so they can whinge and ask fb to censor more content?

i could see an argument for saying they should provide users more data about their own posts. but not aggregate data about their platform that will just be used against them
The joke in the industry was that NTSC stands for "Never Twice the Same Color".
How do you know your own programmers aren't introducing security bugs? Or are even acting against your interests intentionally? It happens to every other software developer, why not you?

Do you build all your own hardware from raw materials? How do you know everyone in the supply chains is perfectly secure?

Attacks have succeeded against the CIA, against RSA, Google, and many others. Nuclear weapons plans have been stolen. I would not trust a vendor who claimed they could guarantee security.
With degrees of laundered varying from "copied verbatim" to "minor things like symbol names changed" to "actually transformed significantly".
> 'contract' implies an initial negotiation and optional agreement, and none of us had that negotiation nor option.

Marriage contract? In Rousseau's time many women did not have those either.
I noticed one of the screen shots was using KDE on the connection to another screen. Honestly that got me to realize it's another PC and made me consider getting one. Worst case scenario, I just have another PC that's marginally better than those small box office PCs.

Edit: I read further, it is a fully fledged PC. You can install or do whatever you want to it.

800p resolution is a bit disappointing, but I guess that's the only way to get a good frame rate without a massive power-hungry GPU.
it's a "localized column of sinking air (downdraft) within a thunderstorm" so... both kinda? It's not really rotational, so calling it a reverse tornado is misleading, but its a strong movement of air that can carry water with it... or sometimes it can be dry.

I experienced a lot of those 'dry' microbursts in the Mojave during storms.

And of course a scheme like that [people living in small groups of, say, 50 people, in which several would have great social value and a role as story tellers, singers of songs, et c.] doesn't make sense anymore, because simply moderate giftedness has been made worthless by the printing press and radio and television and satellites and all that. A moderately gifted person who would have been a community treasure a thousand years ago has to give up, has to go into some other line of work, since modern communications put him or her into daily competition with nothing but the world's champions.

The entire planet can get along nicely now with maybe a dozen champion performers in each area of human giftedness. A moderately gifted person has to keep his or her gifts all bottled up until, in a manner of speaking, he or she gets drunk at a wedding and tap-dances on the coffee table like Fred Astaire or Ginger Rogers. We have a name for him or her. We call him or her an "exhibitionist".

How do we reward such an exhibitionist? We say to him or her the next morning, "Wow! Were you ever drunk last night!"

- Kurt Vonnegut, Bluebeard, 1987.

I think the reality of this observation has remained the same, and after a brief period of confusion, the promise of success and reward for creative people has expanded, and the promise itself has been commercialized, without much expanding the actual likelihood of it. There may be just a few more total winners, now, through the creation of more areas of competition, but it's still winner-take-all.
And "vane" and "barb" just don't sound as nice as "wing".
What, no 5G? Just WiFi? That seems surprising.
You're adhering to certain misconceptions for no good reason. An exhaustive check of all the cases in the model that supports the four-color conjecture is the "empirical" (here, meaning experimental) data required to falsify conjectures. And even physicists don't deny the value of falsification in narrowing down models to truth. But I think they are much more loose in what they are willing to stipulate as true if it means advancing other conclusions.

Furthermore mathematicians do accept certain kinds of probabilistic arguments, but they need to take a form of proving that an object will be guaranteed to have a certain property as a parameter on the object approaches a statistical limit. So partial evidence can sometimes point to the possible truth of a mathematical conjecture, but you are still burdened with the requirement of deductive demonstration if you desire logical certainty.

The tautological notion you take of math is a half-truth. On the one hand, models in math seek to be sound over the objects they specify. This is opposed to physics where deliberate simplifications must be made to make your idealizations of a system manageable or relevant. At the same time, no mathematical system is complete. So there will be truths that require other axiomatizations to access via proof. This is one source of mathematical creativity requiring judgment beyond following tautologies.
They have a tendency to drop their hardware quite early - I had a Steam Link so I could play computer games on my television, it works really great.
> If you're going down into FPGA routing, then maybe we also call that synthesis (slightly different than compilers, but very very similar in problem scope).

Synthesis is the process of taking constructs in a high-level language (SystemVerilog, VHDL, etc) and translating the code into the primitives provided by the target architecture (LUT, blockram, DSP, distributed RAM, muxes, etc). I agree that this looks like an ordinary compiler pipeline.

Place and route is a totally different beast. There is potential for an AlphaGo-like structure to help out here tremendously, where an AI has been trained to produce a cost estimate that aids a decision process and steers the search space.
no, their problem is simply greed. zuckerberg, sandberg, et al. want money, status, and power, and as long as they can distract from losing (or slowing down gains of) any of those by blaming problems on those bad users (or anything else), they're fat and happy.

the leadership is the problem. from a systemic perspective, it's incentives (borne of societally-mediated values). you don't change systems by treating symptoms, but rather the incentives.
> fast turn-around times and minimal refurbishment

This is the biggest risk in the program, along with how many times they can reuse each piece, which is related. Last I looked Musk was projecting using the boosters hundreds of times and the 2nd stage dozens, both obviously very aggressive projections. If the real numbers are lower then the price per flight rises.

As far as I know we don't have any independent way of knowing whether these projections make sense or not. I hope he's right. Even if he's a little wrong and the flight cost was $20M instead of $2M that would be a great thing. But he could also be very wrong and it might not work at all.
> I’ve spent a fair bit of time in Middle East and it is sunset at 6-7pm pretty much throughout the year

That's mostly about where you are within your timezone and whether you have Daylight Savings Time. On local solar time the sun has to spend as many days per year setting before 6pm as after.
Baltimore City Schools: 41% of high school students earn below 1.0 GPA
Do they? My Steam link still works, and its great. As is the controller.
It looks like it is $399 USD, so the price point may mostly be a conversion thing.

Edit: Just looked up the conversion rate, right now 399 USD is 288 GBP? Weird. The mid tier is 529 USD, so something like 382 GBP. Upper tier is 649 USD, or 468 GBP.
The site Crashed my browser (chrome) as soon as I scrolled down.
Which is a good way to burn out on tech in your early 30s! Speaking from experience here — using the thing you do to make a living as a creative escape isn’t really much of an escape.
Same situation here. And we have always had tests, too. Hard to force mixed fleet behavior in most tooling, though. And teams grow, such that relying on code review to catch things is really a best intentions.

Putting it in your face that you are changing two projects is about the best I can offer here. I would cede that this, too, is mainly a best intentions. But having as close to 1:1 between code changes, deployment changes, and code reviews at least puts things on mainly equal footing.

That is, when the explanation of why some code can't deploy together is that they are in two projects, and you can see that by them being separate repositories, that feels easier than knowing that two parts of a single repository have to deploy separately.
The Valve Index is one of, if not the best, VR headsets on the market. Quest 2 is a very close competitor and arguably better when you consider price + wireless ability. But the Index is no slouch.
So my moral value is based on what I read? If I read the wrong thing I might as well be second-class citizen?
Will be nice if TSMC will also produce something. All we here here about TSMC is how great the future will look like. How about the present ?
7", bigger resolution would be useless, and a waste of ressources tbh, it's a portable console, i'd rather have better FPS and better battery life than higher resolution with lower FPS
Why, when trying to determine what an ancient reptile looked like, would you use mammal species for all your references? Just in my experience, reptiles tend to have fat deposits in different configurations to mammals.
The Steam Link was awesome. Their VR headsets are the industry standard. The controller was niche but I heard good things. Steamboxes weren't really a hit, but I don't consider them a failure either (users still got fully functional gaming rigs).

So no, I would disagree with that assessment.

This looks great. A Nintendo switch with more than a handful of AAA titles and shovel ware and power. I’ll be buying I think since the Nintendo DS is dead, switch isn’t for me, Sony gave up. This looks like a winner.
Along the vein of supporting "disasters" one of the most interesting useful features when seeing a financial planner for our family was looking at possible effects of death and disability.

I haven't gotten very far in to it so I haven't been able to explore the life events very much. But looking at the long term impact of "what if I died/what if I had life insurance (and what term)" is very helpful to explore.
Glad that someone is talking about the reality of how things are. The death of the nation state and other hierarchical organizations and of broad-based democracy is written in the mathematical structures of networks.

It just makes no sense to treat all nodes in a complex network equally since they are unequal by virtue of network structure itself. And it certainly makes no sense to create large C&C hierarchies when well-positioned nodes and clusters carry far more value and information.

And reality does not tolerate inefficient structures in the name of ideology for long in the modern world especially since all ideology is variable and none fundamental.

It will of course be covered up by various PR for a long time. But the writing is on the wall.
They've got a good record with making hardware, but not making it mainstream.
And they switched from Debian to Arch. Can't say I don't understand them, but I would have thought there would have been better bases than a rolling distribution (Gentoo, NixOS, Fedora).

I really like how VSauce covers this topic as well.
This is super cool. I just got a lifetime membership. Please keep this going!
What os does it run? And the more important follow up: what games can it therefore run?

I _assume_ it's linux, but that must limit the games to protondb and linux compatible games which, speaking from a lot of experience, misses quite a few.
I have a Valve Index VR headset. It was clearly the best on the market when I got it last year. The controllers and headset tracking are great and the video quality was a notch above the competition (though recent newer headsets have closed the gap). However it did have some hardware issues such as crackling audio in one of the speakers, so I ended up removing the headset speakers and wearing my own headphones. Anyway, overall I'm satisfied.
First impressions:

Really good hardware for the price.

They fixed the worst thing about SteamOS: It's now got an Arch base.

They're definitely overcharging for storage, but I imagine it'll be easy enough to modify one, so it probably doesn't matter much.

Why is any company having more USB-2 slots than USB-3 these days?

Going with a relatively low resolution compared to modern ones is actually a surprisingly smart move, given how small the display is.
I think their hardware has been great. The Index VR headset is high quality, and so was their controller although it didn't seem to find market fit.
Maybe, but at the same time, often when changes happen to a product at a large company, a large amount of the public gets pissed. It's often not "hey we have some feedback", it's "hey we're going to go shoot up your HQ if you don't change xyz back to the way it was".

You've seen people's reactions to stuff like Reddit/Facebook/Youtube redesigns, right? It's wild. And those are relatively small things.

So I feel like the "sensitivities" you're talking about are a bit imbalanced here between users of a large company and the large company.
The Falcon 9 can not be launched for less than $1M. Falcon 9 does not reuse the second stage. Elon has said that the second stage is approximately 20% of the cost of a Falcon 9 launch. A Falcon 9 needs to have some work done between each launch. Some of the Falcon 9 parts are not actually reusable (crush cores for the landing legs as an example). This is why they can not ever simply fill up a landed Falcon 9 booster, put a new second stage on it, and launch it again. The Starship / Superheavy combo is designed to be able to literally just refuel and go. The Falcon 9 booster is mostly made of aluminum, which is up to 60% more expensive than stainless steel. The Starship / Superheavy are stainless steel.

Methane (Starship fuel) is massively cheaper than Kerosene (Falcon 9 fuel). Methane also has a much higher specific impulse, which means you can use less of it to get the same increase in velocity. Methane can be stored in liquid form in same temperature as oxygen, which means less insulation the two propellant tanks. Inversely, Kerosene will freeze at the temperatures required to get oxygen into liquid form.

Basically, nothing you said is accurate.
Ah, 399 USD sounds already better
Steam link and the controllers were great. Too bad they dropped support for them so quickly. Went looking to replace one that finally broke down and found you couldn't buy them anymore.
Sort of an unfortunate name since it's so similar to "Stream Deck." I imagine there might be some confusion between the two if this takes off.
I haven't determined as much, just poked a hole in your argument.

You can't really know how bad it was if you were too young to remember and can never have any bearings. The only way we can really know is from empirical analysis or people that went through it at an older age.
