Some railways are using "Driver Status Monitoring", which uses things like eye tracking to check the driver is alert.

Even with the best shift scheduling software, it's difficult to handle cases outside the railway company's control -- like the driver being tired because they were kept awake by external noise, stress etc when they were trying to sleep.
Tensor SOC seems pretty impressive on paper, will be curious about how it benchmarks and performs in real-life. The Pixel 5 with its "mid-tier" SOC (Snapdragon 765G) was actually pretty good thanks to the software optimizations.

Bigger news is Qualcomm being left out. Will they go the way of Intel by incentivizing their customers build their own SOCs?
Timely. I am kind of old-school when it comes to game development and recently got into teaching my daughter maths and programming and art through it. It's been a lot of fun.

Buuuuuut.... the early stages of starting game development these days are, "What engine do you use?"

And honestly it can be a daunting choice. They're all quite large and have their own jargon and way of doing things. I can get through a "Hello, world!" tutorial in an afternoon but it'll take months before I get something useful to work and load my brain with all of the jargon to navigate the documentation and forums...

versus writing everything from scratch. It's a slower start but I have already learned a good programming language and can go from there. I don't end up with a black box of performance problems. Nor do I end up trying to shoe-horn my round game into a square peg. It's quite common going down this route to write your own data formats and tools as well: level editors, compilers, debuggers. And the productivity starts going up fast as you build momentum.

So I typically go a "libraries not frameworks" kind of approach.

Which seems to be entirely alien in the enterprise world. The common wisdom here is to never write your own tools. Always use what's on the shelf and get going as fast as possible. Yet I often end up in those tar pits where cloud costs overrun operating budgets and failures happen constantly without any built-in observability... I wonder why more teams don't build tools for themselves?

Is it not as uncommon as I think?

Good public transportation is a luxury in the majority of the US. Most jobs in most places require a vehicle + license + insurance + maintenance. In my city, we have a bus service but it can be 2 hours late on a consistent basis. Sometimes they don't even show up and you have to wait for the next pass and hope it shows up. Sometimes the driver is sick and there is no replacement, so no bus. Also, many places will fire you if you are late, so you need to be at the stop 2 hours before it shows up just to be safe, and you might not even be safe if the driver is sick. This is a medium sized city.

So in many places, your options would be sleep at work, or drive home tired.

For both Google and Samsung, security updates.

Google says "Feature drops for at least three years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US." on the shop page footnotes.

Samsung says you get 3 major Android updates on your devices. Therefore, Samsung is a better deal for updates assuming Google doesn't release a new major Android version every year.
Those specialized tools can be seen as the bad side effect of mass manufacturing and market streamlining. They're extremely wasteful when you have 2000 people buying one to service a piece of their bike. They don't look so wasteful when you have one shop buying one to service 2000 bikes a month with it, or one factory getting a bunch to assemble 2000 bikes a day. It's the latter two use cases that shape how products look and work.

I would like to. But the usability and quality of life improvements on each new version of Android are pretty tangible.

I went back to my trusty old OP3 running Android 9 I think, for a bit, and the overall experience took a hit. Everything felt kinda clunky now coming from Android 11, even though I always loved the clean Android implementation of the OP3.

Beneficial software projects could be good. Stuff like making charity or government services more accessible. If you have that much money, then you probably have a platform and connections. Maybe try to clean up bad laws, policies, etc by taking requests for help from the people affected.
Well at least one can talk together about stuff and then see if the other suffered and dislikes certain parts or maybe finds it great and exactly why. Then you know quite fast how many experience he/she has in the field.

> > 1. Significant amounts of people cheated during college, and if asked probably wouldn't even identify their behavior as cheating.

> Unless you have some real data backing this up, you can't claim this is true.

Universities has no reason to crack down on cheating, students who cheat pays just as much money as those who don't. Rather it is better the more students cheat since it means they are less likely to drop out and stop paying. Only cost is reputation, but I have never seen a university get called out or cancelled over not catching enough cheaters, so even the reputation cost is tiny.

I have personally seen a lot of cheaters, I have heard people talk about cheaters etc. Cheating might not be common at every single university, but it is definitely common if you look at higher education as a whole. And of course none of those will ever try to track that data since it doesn't benefit them anyway. As long as they don't track it they have plausible deniability.
Additionally, the while the publicity of that announcement was terrible PR for apple, it was really a request for comment. They got comments from security professionals, and then they acknowledged the problems, retracted the announcement, and are working with those professionals on a system that will be better from a privacy perspective.

Another garbage phone to show off. Google Pixel has been highly unreliable. My OG pixel XL bricked twice within 2 years. My Pixel 3 had defects that forced me to take calls on speaker phone otherwise the mic wouldn't work after the warranty expired.

Meanwhile, my wife is still rocking the iPhone 7 with some degradation in battery life, but pretty much everything else working as it should. I don't regret jumping into the Apple coolaid one bit.

I wish instead of "cool features", they'd spend some time improving their supply chain. You expect some quality from a $1000 phone. And in case it seems subjective, look up lawsuits for faulty hardware for pixel phones. I’m not making this up.

Hi. Good to see you kicking around. I’m a happy customer that had trouble with those big providers. Lately I haven’t even thought about your service (it’s just working).
lots of reasons to pick Android, but as far as what makes the Pixel 6 special, it got a huge camera upgrade from previous generations, likely making it the very best in class again as far as photos and video go.
I've had no trouble ordering from online retailers such as Zenni Optical just by typing in the numbers from the prescription. No signature needed. They do ask for a prescription date, and require that to have been within the last two (I think it is) years, but as far as I can remember it's all on the honor system. They don't even ask for the doctor's name.

Edit: it occurs to me that this may very well be one of those things that's dependent on state laws, so your mileage may vary. Worth a try, in any event.

Edit 2: and yeah, this is for old-school glasses. The requirements for contacts may be more stringent.
Agreed, I was probably unclear in that the system right now makes the only workable way forward with minimum wage increases.

And also agreed it’s unclear how to shift the system. Personally I wonder if added tax incentives for living wage props would help. Ie wages are already deducted from income, but if an added “bonus” deduction on wages hitting a living wage range might provide some incentive.
does not mean it is right
5 years of security updates, 3 years of feature updates.

On the page it says on the 12th footnote, "Feature drops for at least 3 years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US. Your Pixel will receive feature drops during the applicable Android update and support periods for the phone. See g.co/pixel/updates for details."

On https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705 it says, "Guaranteed Android version updates until at least: October 2024" and "Guaranteed security updates until at least: October 2026" for Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro

So they hypothetically could extend it to more than 3 years of feature updates and 5 years of security updates with the nebulous "at least" wording.

I see this is about point-to-point navigation optimization but it's very curious this article doesn't mention grid cells – essentially, neurological ~1:~1 representations of physical space.

> They were awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine together with John O'Keefe for their discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain. The arrangement of spatial firing fields, all at equal distances from their neighbors, led to a hypothesis that these cells encode a neural representation of Euclidean space.[1] The discovery also suggested a mechanism for dynamic computation of self-position based on continuously updated information about position and direction.

You don't need to completely change if you don't want to. setuptools will most likely continue supporting the old way for a long time since there is so much Python code out there that will probably never update to the new standards.

Also, it takes only minimal changes to bring a setuptools-based project into the present. You just need to add a `pyproject.toml` file to your project with the following:

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools >= 40.9.0", "wheel"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

Then when it's time to distribute the project, instead of `setup.py sdist` and `setup.py bdist_wheel`, you can just use the official build[1] tool like so:

pyproject-build --sdist --wheel

And that's all there is to it. Once that's in place and if you're feeling frisky, you can try taking advantage of new setuptools features that can allow you to eliminate `setup.py` entirely and specify everything in `setup.cfg`[2] so that all your project's information is static and no code needs to be run when installing it, assuming your project doesn't contain any compiled code.

As and added benefit, by putting pyproject.toml in your projects now, if you wanted to switch over to another tool like poetry or flit later on, the act of packaging the project doesn't have to change as long as you update the pyproject.toml file with the new build system. The same `pyproject-build` command will work for all three systems.

Shouldn't use resolutions which needs to be scaled by the panel and/or driver because it makes things fuzzy because of interpolation.

Exception would be if the resolution could be upscaled by exactly two in both directions.

If that isn't possible, varying the default font sizes seems more useful.

Another avenue to test would be small amounts of Cannabis, since that tends to lessen your inner eyeball pressure, and thus changes your sight.

For me it seems to be the other way around. The older I get, the easier it is to read small things, if, and only if they are in far enough distance. So more distance from screen is better. Was just over an arms length, now I need more.
Dear Google. Let me provide you the solution to your self-created problems.

1. Make products that work.

2. Make sure that your website does not crash when someone tries to order your product.

3. Make sure you do not allow to customers to put more devices into the carts than you can ship. This has been a solved problem for at least a decade. You may want to outsource this to Shopify as your software engineers clearly can't figure out how to build ecommerce platforms that actually work.
How do I run https://www.shadertoy.com/ in native fullscreen?

How do I actually multitask while doing that?

At 1.5x even my Ryzen 9 3900X and RX 5700XT are stuttering to show many shadertoy examples at 4K, where the performance at 1x is more than acceptable.

Simply: Gnome (and Wayland) is broken, and this API must be changed.

EDIT:

For https://www.shadertoy.com/view/ss3SD8 the difference on my laptop for example is 1280x720 at 1.4fps (1.25x scale) or 850x450 at 17fps (1.0x scale).

That’s a massive difference, and enough to be the difference between usable and unusable.

There's a difference between working a job and being an entrepreneur. The solo founder vs partnership debate comes up in every profession you mentioned, e.g. when starting your own law practice or medical clinic from scratch. Particularly for lawyers the standard advice is to at minimum have a group of partners with complementary skills (deep technical knowledge of laws, experience in a courtroom, ability to schmooze clients), not very different from what you'd hear from a tech VC.

> Instructions per Clock matters too, but the market would have a hard time buying an x86 chip that stopped at 3 GHz, even if it was double the IPC.

AMD's response to the later-life Pentium 4's was the Athlon 64, which was clocked substantially lower but matched or beat the P4 in most tasks. The market responded positively.

Similarly, the original Pentium was clocked substantially lower than high end 486 models when it was first introduced. It was also received positively.

In modern times, the market has responded positively to the Apple M1.

Has there actually been a CPU anywhere that has outperformed its market competitor (in price and performance), but failed to gain traction because its clock speed was too low? "The market wants high clock speeds" has been a common assumption, but I've never actually seen it work out that way in practice.
