OP here; some of each, actually. The resolution does drop off at the edges, especially with more aggressive foveated rendering (which I turn off, so as to get as much clarity as possible). I do end up moving my head, but it's casual rather than quick, certainly not like darting around. The end result is improved ergonomics, too - used to be, with a fixed monitor my neck would become very tight and snap/crack horribly when stretching after a long session. The frequent movement in VR has completely eliminated that issue while working.

> They arrive in military aircraft, salute to military officers, is this normal for Canadian tourists?

It's quite normal for freed hostages to be flown back by their home country's military, yes.

As for the salute? It's not unusual for civilians to return salutes.

> welcomed by Canadian intelligence, does this happen a lot to Canadian tourists?

I don't think you can take a public tweet from CSIS as any evidence, either for or against, that they're spies.

> One Michael met Kim Jong-un, is this a common thing among Canadian tourists?

Michael Spavor runs (ran?) a North Korea-based consulting business. It's not entirely unsurprising that he's met Kim Jong-un. I would think, if anything, he would be spying on the North Koreans, not the Chinese. North Korea doesn't seem like a convenient home base for a Canadian intelligence operative who's spying on the Chinese.
I think the article misses why people collect.

A sense of genuine scarcity, specialness or rarity. Things that others do not, or cannot have. Items that have a sense of historicity about them. Hidden gems, secrets or banned things that only the collector posesses. Things with their own stories.

Physical collections have this interesting property that they tend to automatically become more unique and interesting over time as they accumulate history and comparable items are destroyed or lost.

Arrangement, curation and the search for completeness within a chosen field can count for a lot. But I posit that hoarding commercially released, widely available digital files cannot really satisfy a true urge to collect. Producing and trading bootlegs is a lot closer.

I suppose NFTs could fill some of the gap here but they seem like simulacra to me.

I think that we agree about the 'random-seed' type of procedural generation, however a word document is hardly even generated by an algorithm at all! It's usually generated entirely by the author (perhaps with semi-code-like templates if they use that part?). GPT3/etc would be an example of 'procedural' word-processing, to me.

Where we mainly might not agree yet is about setups that instead process input-assets, and the idea is not for them to explore the parameter-space, but just to re-execute the effect as close to as it was intended as possible, and how reliably they do this can be called how 'procedural' they are. It is not usually expected to involve huge amounts of extra exploration to find something that works for a new input, as long as the effect is set up to be 'procedural' enough. This is a VFX-based perspective and I'd expect a games-perspective on this stuff to be quite different!

Feeding the fail2ban log to Papertrail or another logging service should give enough visibility.

I've seen fail2ban block the IPv4 of a company's headquarters because a new member of staff setup their SSH config wrong and made too many attempts to connect to a production system. In this sort of situation, having federated logs on external infrastructure is a real saviour.

Hi.

I have a question. I have put some time trying to learn the Grafana stack. Heaviness of elastic both self hosted and cloud version has led me to seek for alternatives. Is there a way to get logs into Loki that can be run offline, when jobs have finished and hosts have been shutdown? It seems Loki recommends Promtail agent which looks a bit heavy-handed (https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/getting-started/get-log... )

I have relaxed requirements on gathering logs for analytics. I’d much rather just run a tool that goes through log files and ingests them into Loki. Results of several jobs would be compared as a whole.

From what I’ve seen Loki with Grafana can do a lot. For example this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7zmRhHd-ohk

Thank you!
This. I host a very simple website at home on my Raspberry Pi; maybe 20 regular users. But, I receive a ton of traffic trying to login to PHP admin, nginx scripts, ssh brute force attempts, and on and on... I use fail2ban to ban individual IPs and if I see a lot coming from a particular CIDR range, I'll just block that whole range.

There are a ton of example jails out on GitHub and elsewhere that are easily dropped into your configs.
Again you seem to be responding to arguments nobody is making, or at least not in this thread.

Where has anyone said "Britain is better than the EU"? Nowhere, that I can see.

My wife's schedule is 12 hours: 7 to 7. Except nine out of ten times she's there until 8 or 9. It's "scheduled" but much closer to BAT times then sun revolution times. Any talk of schedule is discouraged and nurses are fired very quickly if they don't become "team players". Engineers in the valley have a lot more leeway because hiring is a lot harder. I can actively push back against my managers. My wife would be fired on the spot.

You're making numerous points and your later ones are good ones. But the working conditions for front line workers, including but not limited to their scheduling, hours, pay, etc, are all terrible.

It's normally set that high by design because the solar panels have substantial capacitance to ground (they are large flat conductors sat just a few cm off the ground after all). The capacitance to ground wouldn't be an issue if not for the fact the inverter is non-isolated. That means current can flow to/from the grid to charge and discharge that capacitor, which is indistinguishable from AC leakage.

Some inverters will allow you to lower the leakage threshold (usually with settings in a service menu), but then you're limited to just attaching 3 or so panels or getting false isolation trips.
Agreed. Looked into Nim a while ago. Docs are really good.
Is it good for jobs?
The CCP is requiring Chinese banks to fund Huawei customers with extremely cheap financing terms.

So HW competes on their own terms - and apparently they are a good 'one stop shop' combined with the Chinese mentality of 'always saying yest to everything' - but then you add in hugely generous 'no money down' financing provided by entities acting in concert with foreign policy, and you have something awesome.

BT can rollout a massive new network while paying for it much later.

Arguably, this sort of financing should be regarded as a trade violation. There's nothing wrong with Chinese banks offering those terms, but when it's coordinated/mandated by the government, and, the Central Bank is politicized for this reason, it's a form of economic dumping.

My main tip to this engineering manager:

Try to overcome the default assumption that every meeting should be an hour long.

There’s only one meeting on this calendar that needs to be an hour - the team happy hour - and for some reason, that’s the one you have at 30 minutes duration.

Also: 30 minute stand ups are a bad sign; one possible reason they take 30 minutes: there’s a manager attending them.
That is pretty much the definition of anyone who orders a Cybertruck. The Cybertruck is more likely to become the Hummer of the EV truck world, a useless fashion accessory for people who think a big truck compensates for other shortcomings. In five years, when the Cybertruck is a discontinued memory, the F-150 Lightning is likely to be the most popular EV in the US.
From the description, it looks like they unfucked the layout, then firefox refucked it.

A decade ago it was very easy to make Firefox look like you wanted, even without extensions (if you weren't opinionated about aesthetics, just position and functionality.) Every UI change since Chrome was released has been a regression, and more obnoxiously, each change has been locked in with user adjustment actively prevented or made prohibitively difficult, even for programmers.

They could at least offer a consistent interface to change the UI. Instead they demand the flexibility to make UI changes without having to maintain an interface, while using that flexibility to claw back more and more flexibility from their users.
At this point, if someone has that level of research output cited in that post, I just assume they're cheating.
Yet France did no better in deaths per captia, than the "shambolic" UK, or Sweden, where life seemed pretty tolerable, nor most of the other EU countries, in fact. (Nor many developing countries that did very little to contain Covid, but I'm sure we will both agree we can't really rely on those figures).

It seems to me there is very little clear link between how a country responded, and the overall death count.

I don't think raw resource availability is the major problem. Lithium refinement and cathode and anode production is more likely to cause issues.

> Tesla's approach is fine if you want to make a million cars.

Not sure what you are referring to here. Tesla uses the second most LFP cells as far as I know.

Tesla already uses NCA, NCM and LFP and they are buying from the 3 largest suppliers, Panasonic, CATL and LG. In addition to that they will also produce their own cells with their own high nickel, and nickel-manganese chemistry.

They are absolutely thinking how to make many millions of cars, be diversifying suppliers (including themselves), diversifying chemistries while trying to unify the format.

I think major factor in use of all new tech by police is money which they pay for it.

Systemic thinking on possible impact of all of this... does not matter till money flows.

Sure you can do it, but it won't be reliable or cost effective.

Passive water cooling in natural water tends to lead to seaweed and all kinds of sea creatures blocking up all heat exchange surfaces.

In the case of a megapack, cooling isn't critical to safety - as long as you're happy to stop using a battery when too hot, it won't get hotter. The reason to cool is is so you can keep using the battery.
Every account on Facebook must be attached to a real person and every person is only allowed a single Facebook account. A throwaway account is an automatic TOS violation and can lead to an account ban. Facebook does actively enforce their TOS, so especially with new accounts it isn't uncommon for the account to get locked and Facebook will force you to verify your ID.

In the case of Quest2 that would mean you lose all the games you bought on the device along with the Facebook account.

I use it for ssh, ftp, and dovecot. Even with ssh passwords disabled, fail2ban reduces traffic a lot on some servers (since culprits get null-routed) which is always good.

> The more I think about it, the more US infra/urban planning makes absolutely 0 sense to me. Seems to more closely follow tax breaks and tax income than necessarily smart resource allocation.

An issue that doesn't just plague the US. Here in the EU, we have similar issues with governments from local city councils to federal governments doing anything they can to poach businesses. Tax breaks, subventions, lax law enforcement (e.g. Ireland vs GDPR)... it's madness. And the problem is, you can't simply go ahead and centralize that planning because you always have to be afraid of a political party taking over and completely abusing that power in the next legislative period.

"The Chinese government's job is to ensure a level playing field for everybody"

This is very upside down.

The Chinese government actively opposes a 'level playing field and strongly prefers local companies, especially those with deep ties to the state.

Even export policy is natinalized. Huawei can offer it's customers internationally amazing financing terms (pay nothing down, and pay small amounts over time) provided by Chinese banks at the behest of the Chinese Government, facilitate by a politicized Central bank.

It would be like Biden/Trump ordering JP Morgan to finance Boeing deals, and to coordinate it all with the Treasury and the Central Bank.

That's a violation of basic trade norms - and that's just the export stuff.

Internally, there's much more control.

"One of the greatest reasons Western companies have failed in markets such as China (and India) is because they enter it with an air of arrogance."

This is not factual and you've provided no real evidence of that.

When US companies have 'hard protections', particularly in Brand, they do very well. Nike, Apple, Pizza Hut etc. all do very well.

But trains? China requires that train makers hand over their IP, the IP is given to local companies who then get a head start while the Chinese government holds the foreign company up in red tape.

The Chinese government 'role' is to absolutely minimize the amount of success foreign companies have to the extent they can duplicate/copy/reproduce locally, that's what they do.

Even foreign initiatives cannot actually be foreign owned: 51% has to be owned by Chinese.

The CCP puts a cadre of it's party staff within every company to ensure national guidelines are followed.

Your 'Dominos in India' example is countered by 'Yum Brands' i.e. KFC, Pizza Hut who were very successful in China.

Yeah. I have absolutely no right to complain for the price, and even without dividing by zero Inkscape is still extraordinary, but it doesn't work for my workflow. I like to snap pictures of things (mechanical assemblies or circuit boards, typically) and annotate them.
