Agreed. I read "quietly" as "without any money or effort put into advertising, PR, or messaging the fact."

If someone sues Facebook and does the media circuit, advertises the fact, and gets their face out there, and the case just isn't likely to succeed on the merits, that's one thing. If someone sues Facebook, gets to discovery, survives motions to dismiss and "doesn't tell a soul" (though public will find out from court records) that meets my definition of doing it "quietly."

The scope to which I was responding was the assertion that 50kbp/s is not enough to transfer more than a handful of bytes.

You are correct that images, encryption, and blockchains are outside the scope of what a constrained connection can sustain, but that's a bit like saying "We can't power an industrial economy on consumer-owned 100 watt solar panels" which while true, misses the point.

Yes, if you're using court etiquette protocols to transmit data, you're going to incur very large amounts of overhead.

If you're using insecure low-sophistication protocols in sparsely populated areas (e.g. flyover America), then the possibilities are much more expansive. Yes, the latter by definition isn't commercially nor urbanely (viz. pertaining to densely populated cities) viable, but for certain demographics that's a feature, not a bug.

To answer your question: I don't value chat histories that much. In the early days people didn't walk around with tape recorders to record everything everybody was saying either. If there is something really important said in a chat, you could make a screenshot, the same way you would take a note on paper with a pencil in pre-digital times, but how often did that happen? To write down an address for example, but you could put that in the digital equivalent of the rolodex, like Contacts.app or Notes. You could even go as far as to save information in a personal CRM like Monica.

Agreed. They absolutely exist and I think 10x is too small of a multiplier for what they can do for a project and team. In particular, starting a significant project from zero often requires them.

One thing that definitely resonates with me is his mention of sauces when he explains the differences between star ratings.

Quite often when I visit a great restaurant I find its a sauce that lifts a dish from the good to memorable. I always thought that was
because of the stock made from scratch. This is quite hard to replicate at home- store bought stock cubes add very little depth of flavour to a dish and making stock from scratch, well, unless you have a lot of time on your hands its not going to happen.

I have seen first hand at small and large companies how problems have been tackled with ML without trying a simple rule or heuristic first. And then, further down the line, the system has been compared to a few business rules put together, to find that the difference in performance did not explain the deployment of an ML system in the first place.

It's true that if your rules grow in complexity, this might make it harder to maintain, but the good thing about rules is that they tend to be fully explainable, and they can be encoded by domain experts. So the maintenance of such a system does not need to be done exclusively by an ML engineer anymore.

Carbon offsets are sadly hopeless. Let's plant more trees, look the carbon is now tied in nice biomass. Few short decades later: Oops, an entirely predictable fire just released all that carbon back into the atmosphere.

That assuming the tree planting is done correctly, and does not lead to unhealthy fire prone over density, in the chase for an extra buck. Like every financialized enterprise in the history of the world. No, the tree planting people are good people and would never do something like that.

At best these programs are forest preservation programs. That is they attempt to keep the carbon in the forest instead of blowing the forest up for short term economic gain. That is good, we need more of it. But it is disingenous to call them 'carbon capture' and the end result 'carbon negative'.

>For future reference, during an earthquake if you’re inside it’s usually far safer to climb under a desk or table, stand in a doorway or up against a wall in the center of your house rather than going outside. Falling trees, power lines, broken gas mains, and even soil liquefaction can be very dangerous.

I absolutely loathe statements like yours that masquerade as helpful advice but are nothing more than a crude rule of thumb fundamentally built on an assumption of everyone being stupid. People aren't stupid. They're mostly about as smart as you are.

People don't run outside during an earthquake simply to be outside. They run outside to be free of stuff that might fall on them. Away from falling things is the end goal, being outside is not the end goal, it's just usually the first step. Sure, someone once upon a time probably ran outside and got hit with a tree or power line, I'll give you that. But the overwhelming majority of people are going to run outside to a location where there isn't stuff that has the potential to fall on them because that is the goal, to get away from stuff that might fall on them. If the power lines and trees are swinging around they'll get away from them. People who do not have such a place readily available will dive under a table or something.

If you think the building or portions thereof might collapse, by all means get the F out of it.

> The U.K. healthcare system is the lowest level of medical service possible being made available with tax payers' contribution.
> >Rubbish.

Nice way to start :)

>> International studies stick the UK health system high up, and typically far higher than the US system. On top of that if you're that bothered you can pay for private health care, which typically costs less than £1k a year.

Totally understand and aware that I can spend more money on top of the taxes I pay towards the N.H.S.. What made you think I didn't have the faculties to grasp that fact ?

If you read well, then read again... The U.K. healthcare system is the lowest level of medical service possible being made available (to the people in U.K.)

>The US spends three times as much on healthcare than the UK, over twice as much as western european countries like Germany, Brelgium, France etc
What is the point here ? U.K. should start spending even more ? Oh well more taxes are coming anyways now that Covid is here.

>For our first child we had prenatal classes, they were free. Didn't bother for the second, but they were available. Plenty of standard hospital checkups.

This article is pure clickbait written to sell in this stupid Swarmia startup. :) 10x developers exist just like 10x musicians, 10x marathon runners, or 10x chess players exist. It may take a world-class musician a week to write a masterful symphony but it would take me way longer. Perhaps I'd never produce anything great so that musician would be infinitely better at it than me. Great chess players beat amateurs at least 99 times out of 100 so must also be 10x in comparison. Marathon runners run 42 km in like two hours but it would take me days to finish the same distance...

It's true for almost any human activity that there is a huge gap between the worst, the average, and the best. It is preposterous to believe that the same wouldn't hold true for software development.

Yes and no. There are different tiers.

The lowest tier is kontanthjælp (cash assistance), and it is way less than what is referred to as unemployment benefits.

The rules about these changes constantly as it is hot political topic, but I do believe you can keep kontanthjælp forever, given that you don’t hold too much cash/valuables and that you don’t actively say no to employment.

I agree it is awesome but the current semiconductor market is really hurting the ability to make this.

Note that if you follow the kitspace link for the non-FeatherWing version and use the digikey link, there is one part that disallows backorder, but 18 other line items with backorder status. This includes really important items like the microcontroller that has a 52 week lead time.

I looked into building one a while back and found that many items can have substitutes, some could be redesigned easily into leadless versions of the components, but some were just too difficult to redesign or source.

The AI taxonomy includes the term "Expert Systems" for these kinds of things. On the one hand it's definitely not of the new wave of ML AI so hyping those things as innovative is off. On the other hand we should definitely give more attention to that kind of setup and understand how to build/maintain/test it properly. Otherwise often it ends up being ran by a few hundred Excel sheets and a few severely underpaid people and that's a disaster waiting to happen. The AS400->VB6->NewShiny path actually sounds like a success case given the messes that are out there.

If you don't need publication-quality 3D models, the latest iPhones have built-in LIDAR sensors, both front (for facial recognition) and back (for AR).

There are a variety of apps that can use these built-in sensors to build 3D models of the environment in what I think is a pretty painless and intuitive way. The results aren't publication-quality like the NYTimes' guide's results but it's quick, easy and "good enough" for many purposes.

Personally, my preferred scanning app is Heges [0]. Record3D [1] by the same developer is also really cool, albeit not a scanner app.

One note though: if you want high-quality 3D geometry, use the front LIDAR sensor, not the back. The front sensor is much more precise.

Since there are probably some people experienced with ffmpeg here, is it possible to to image zooms with ffmpg that go deeper then zoom factor 10?

I can zoom up to factor 10 like this:

But everything above a zoom of 10 seems to fail. Is there a hard limit in the code for some reason? Some way to overcome this?

Or is there another nice linux or online tool to do zooms into images?

With modern surveillance, no longer can the watched watch the watchers.

Being under reciprocal social surveillance may have been the norm for humans, meaning living in tight-knit villages or open floor-plan, multi-generation homes—situations where there's always someone else around to see or hear what you do. But so too do you hear and see what they do, meaning you (or the community) can enact social and sometimes physical consequences for snooping, spying, snitching, and gossiping.

Cameras, even one-way glass, and especially mass communication snooping makes that surveillance unilateral—an expression of bureaucratic power over the individual. We can't tell what the corp or agency is doing with our data, how it will be used for good or ill, and we have little recourse (i.e. standing in court).

If, as they claim, these new forms of surveillance are essential for national security, protecting the children, and robust economic growth, then perhaps what's missing is the ability of ordinary citizen(-journalists) to likewise watch these faceless voyeurs and powerful officials to the same degree, returning to that "norm" of reciprocal surveillance.

The idea that an AR is "commonly used on people" is bs. It's widely used as a hunting rifle or for recreational shooting and is the most common rifle in America. That's also not as many guns as you think, looks like he's swapping the furniture on his AR a bunch of times, ditto for the Glock 19. And things like "sic semper tyrannus" and "taxation is theft" are pretty common among American libertarians. The "disobey" refers to a really awful rule the ATF is trying to make that would reclassify many braced pistols as SBRs overnight, and since SBRs are title II firearms, having one unregistered would make felons of people who bought entirely legal firearms.
ZMK is an opensource keyboard firmware that is using zephyros. It has a working BLE stack and some other interesting things. Zephyr uses device tree structure for board definitions and makes it trivial to add 3rd party board drivers.

The thing that bothers me about Zephyr is that their slack is only accessible if you're employed by one of the big companies, intel, google, freescale etc.

So basically getting in touch with the developer community is kinda walled off and when it comes to debugging more detailed issues with a new boards dts files you're cut off because you're not important enough.

The problem is that you can't measure a developer. So you can't say someone is 10x faster or better. If you add a bench-mark like how many LOC is written per day, most will exceed at that benchmark, but the overall quality will go down.
As a parent myself: that sort of framework tends to absolve parents from their responsibilities, so of course it appeals. "Nothing I could do about it, guv, he was always like that!" It can also be used to reinforce the sense of "talent" or "destiny" they want to (often selfishly) imbue in their spawn.

I've actually gone all the way to the other side. I see in my kids all the issues they've inherited from me and their mother, plus all the extra they get from a different environment from the ones we grew up in. I see where they diverge in attitudes, of course, but that has very clearly a lot to do with firstborn vs sibling and (increasingly, with age) their sex, rather than anything incredibly unique or innate.

I do wonder a bit how the people at Elastic continues to defend not having authentication enforced by default.

As of today, going to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/curr... and following their guide for a self hosted ES instance is probably the fastest way to have a data breach.
