You have to make sure to either feed it a microphone input or research how to set up a loopback monitor with pulsaaudio/pipewire/alsa (whichever you use). This way you can feed it whatever the audio output from any application. Then you many also need to specify an environment variable in your shell (I think it’s something like SDL_AUDIODRIVER I’m not sure and you set it to the specific driver you’re using) in any case you should be able to find instruction with “pulseaudio loopback stereo monitor sdl”

I recently had to set this up on a raspberry pi 4 with manjaro / KDE plasma and it was a bit of a pain to setup (the setup is slightly different depending on your exact audio configuration) but it’s very rewarding once you do.

I was curious about the creator in the screenshot who earned $1 million on Teachable in 1 hour[1].

Interestingly, it looks like this creator is involved in the credit repair "industry" and runs some sort of "academy" teaching people how to start a credit repair business.

Forget the creator economy. It speaks volumes about the state of the economy.

So being homeless isnt the problem, mudering isnt exclusive to homeless people. Drugs and prostitution aren't problems. Cities not having adequate public serivces like bathrooms is a problem.
> Their insincerity becomes very obvious when you start pushing for accountability - like status reports / reports on progress and effectiveness - when entities get public funds.

I'm not sure what point you tried to make. I mean, this discussion is about identifying the root causes of a problem in order to actually fix it, but your comment focuses exclusively in organizations which, at worse, only work to mitigate it's impact while the problem is perpetuated.

Let's put it this way: homeless shelters do not fabricate homeless people out of thin air, nor do they spend their budget hiring extras or crisis actors to pretend there are homeless people in the city. At most, you're putting up a strawman to attack organizations that exist to take the edge off this problem.

What exactly do you believe would happen if suddenly all homeless shelters disappeared from the face of the earth? Do you believe homelessness would go away with that too?

Thanks for explaining more fully, this is helpful.

Yeah, I was trying to say that factories specifically want good road access, so zones aren't necessary for that one exact example - your second paragraph. Sorry for being unclear with the phrase "that stuff," which seems to have sent us in the wrong direction.

You say they may be constructed in residential areas anyway - like, maybe the roads are good enough in a neighborhood. I agree with this, but then I'm not seeing what the problem with the factory is. If it's noisy, impose noise restrictions. If it's polluting, impose pollution restrictions. But I don't have any beef with people making stuff as a matter of course.

My position is mostly that zones are the wrong tool for the job. I wish we were more forgiving of mixed-use neighborhoods. If someone wants to run a 3D printing shop next door to a school, more power to 'em.
I can confirm and share additional details. Located in India, I automatically see a message that says I can choose a purchasing power parity discount if I wish to. The discount is 70%, but it applies only to the most expensive package (bringing it down from $349 to $105). The lower tier packages are marked as not eligible for such pricing. It clearly says that the access will work only in India (I’m guessing this whole thing is based on IP addresses).

I don’t yet know if I’m interested enough in this course, but I really appreciate content authors who consider pricing variations in different locations. Bonus if they offer to help people in tough situations (even in countries where PPP may be higher).

Seems like more of a tragedy of the commons, with each ship (A) assuming it's fine to leave empty because some other ship (B) will grab the empty containers. That's all well and good until (A) comes back, and then it sits there waiting like everyone else.

Going back empty works once. Or more times if you're headed to a different market, I suppose.

A reporter looking for a story went into my highschool while classes were in session and talked to some kids.

No, it really isn't. Plant conservatories never feel stuffy even though the humidity is high, and the same room with fewer people in it doesn't feel stuffy either.
>wouldn't be enough to draw a conclusion on the entire human population.

Which is why the study does not draw a conclusion on the viability of all religion, it merely says that it doesn't see much evidence that religiosity leads to life satisfaction. The author even notes "these results need to be evaluated within the context of the study." Hardly the wholesale dismissal of religion you claim it's making.
> And the gatekeeping by homeless advocates is really stark in that article.

That's because if you actually solved (or even reduced) homelessness, those people might be out of a job.

(Also, the regulator was presumably aware that Theranos made proprietary medical devices; it said so on their website. So, when they were shown a lab full of Siemens stuff, they should probably have asked about that.

He means a vicious cycle, which is technically a positive feedback loop: The worse things get, the more they get worse. Negative feedback means when the system is working properly, an unexpected perturbation will cause the system to correct itself automatically.

But since the general public thinks of positive as good and negative as bad, he's using the word "negative" to describe a bad situation. This kind of thing bugs me because I know control theory, but it's really in the same category as "Is Program X an X11 client or an X11 server?"

Anything about a bicycle on the road just makes some drivers' heads explode. I always drive at or below speed limits in cities and the other day in Berkeley, California, a bicyclist was pacing me at 25 MPH on a state road and drivers behind us were going insane. Funniest thing I ever saw, to be honest.

That old Goofy cartoon about drivers losing their minds as soon as they get behind the wheel is completely accurate for the great majority of American drivers. We simply should not allow cars in our cities. I fear that American and its cities are going to be left far behind as global cities rapidly realize this and we're still bulldozing neighborhoods for new freeways. Many cities abroad are already way nicer than all American cities, and they are accelerating away from us. It's sad.

Air Force proves it’s possible to make jet fuel out of thin air
It's also important as most long range airliners take off with more fuel than they can safely land with. The air frames are very heavily optimized as every pound matters. If you always landed with the same weight you took off with, you'd end up needing to make the landing gear and surrounding structure significantly stronger to prevent excessive wear over time.
I think you missed the part where people dying from COVID is not random, but touches people with 3-4 comorbidities for the most part. So in effect you will run out of people dying well before you run out of unvaccinated.

You might like the "man from earth". It isn't exactly what you've described here, but it's a great movie. The entire thing takes place as a conversation amongst a group of friends where they extrapolate out on somebody's seemingly crazy assertion.
My neighbor is Turkish (very good job). We often speak about inflation (because he recently came here and discovered almost zero inflation).

Sometimes he gives me examples of the consequences of high inflation in the little details of daily life. It is scary and frightening.

What people do not grasp is that high inflation kill all planification (even holidays, buy sometime "big" like a TV, meeting with friends, long term subscription, etc).

Because of it the reliability of business decreases as everbody is thinking short term and is acting at the last moment. How can you execute a big project if you do not know if the unpredictible inflation value will make it impossible or even kill your company? How do you handle an order if the customer cannot pay because the price went up? Or if the inflation eats all your margin, what do you do?

And of course I am not speaking about the negative impacts on the general mood, hopes, etc. on people.
> Being unvaccinated is an unnecessary risk to yourself and others.

Who decides what is unnecessary? You? On what kind of authority?
You are correct. At least on early Android phones, there was a dedicated chip that monitored the microphone. Its capabilities were extremely limited - it can only be programmed to recognize certain phonemes (6 or so, I think?) and in a certain order, and when it hears them, it sends an interrupt to the main CPU which wakes up, starts recording, and sends the audio data to Google's servers.

Stuff has gotten more sophisticated (a sufficiently new enough iPhone can do background sound recognition for things like smoke alarms, barking dogs, etc to help deaf users - I think it uses significantly more battery, however), but there is no way in hell Apple and Google are letting others program or control this functionality.

I have said this over and over and over to friends and in online discussions: constant voice recognition or even just voice recording and transmitting would leave a huge footprint in terms of battery use, generated heat, data usage, and in the apps themselves (code and API calls). This stuff would leap off the page for any security researcher and be front-page mainstream media news.

And lastly, I point out that these companies do not do constant voice recognition...because they do not have to. Social media buttons, third party font services and javascript toolkits all feed Google and Facebook data about what pages you visit, at least from your IP even if you're not logged in. Google Maps alone constantly gorges itself on location and passively gathered bluetooth/wifi data, for example. Google sees the plain-text of any alert sent through Google Cloud Messenger, unless the app merely uses GCM to poke their app to retrieve the actual notification via their own servers, but google still knows something happened involving you and WaterBNB, or Fleabay, or Shminder Dating, etc. Your device's presence on a particular network and its activity level from your usage tells them even more, and they can know a lot about what you're doing because all the "good stuff" in Android isn't in Android, it's in Google Play Services, or whatever they call it these days. Then there's all the mobile app analytics data companies.

One of the reasons I switched to a used iPhone was because the privacy preferences allow you to switch off a huge number of 'system' data collection stuff that Android doesn't. It does wonders for one's battery life when your phone isn't constantly collecting wifi/bluetooth/cellular/GPS data for location mapping databases, noting when you go into stores, collecting traffic data, etc. This year I (accidentally, thanks to a not fully seated cigarette power adapter) managed a 6 hour trip w/ Apple Maps navigation, and it only used up about half of my battery. I was stunned.

Heh, that was my plan. I ended up just settling for more money again.
When React introduced hooks they also massively expanded the library's API, so there's a complexity cost to that.

While I love working with hooks and do so daily, I definitely felt some remorse for those now having to figure out when and how to use memoization, dependency arrays, useCallback, etc, etc etc. React in its first formulation was utterly simple and beautiful.

In defense of hooks however, it's good to keep in mind that now you can do a lot more than you could, and being able to share business logic so easily across an application is an elegant abstraction.

> Trader Joe's stores are always full,

Uh, maybe in your store, at the time of day you go shopping?

Our store has probably ten checkout lines and all the time if I go at the wrong time of day, I'm standing in line for several minutes. Even when they were limiting #'s in the stores for pandemic reasons checkout lines were stretching into the aisles. Other times I stroll in and it's a ghost town, same time of day, same day of the week I usually go.

There's not just "one flu".
What do you mean by "ground level expert"? In my experience the true expertise tends to hover a couple of levels above 'ground level' and get called in for the curly questions. The actual boots-on-the-ground-100%-of-the-time people are usually at a fairly basic level of competence (or rapidly get promoted) and do the simple 'grunt work'.

I occasionally run into the higher levels these days and let me tell you, most of them are whip smart.
> China is equally as capitalistic and has more wealth inequality than the US.

Just wanted to point out that this statement isn't true, on number of counts. First, the value of the assets of the state in China is significantly higher than most Western countries, and the Chinese government plays a very strong role in the economy across a number of sectors. Secondly, while it's very difficult to gather estate data in China, most estimates (using the bad data we do have) suggest wealth inequality is higher in the United States.
This does underline the weaknesses of Clojure and performance. For a typical language, the advice is (1) don't call expensive functions and (2) loop less.

For Clojure, we get the wonderful quote "There is a close transducer, partition-all, which has no step arity.".

One of Clojure's biggest weaknesses in practice is that breaking in to those functional structures to figure out where the time is being spent or to debug them is harder than in other languages. This is a natural trade-off of developing a terse and powerful language.

It is notable how much trouble Clojure has had over the years linking a bug back to a line number and a reason. Even with spec.
I agree. Also, avoiding Clojure’s collections entirely is a great way to get better performance, but it’s hard to argue that is idiomatic. This applies doubly to ClojureScript.
True, but at least in the 60’s and 70’s most stimulants were legitimate medications. Amphetamine, dextroamphetamine and methamphetamine were widely prescribed and diverted into illegal channels.

There was a “scourge” of truckers taking uppers and driving all night. Stimulant use was really rampant across all social classes. Use decreased when prescriptions were cut off, then meth resurged in the 90’s.

And the other data point is methamphetamine use is the drug of choice in much of Asia. But you don’t see anywhere near the social problems you do in the US.

Equities have done great during covid. If you were invested in tech which many in FANGM were via ESPPs and RSUs, wealth likely significantly increased.

If your net worth hits a couple M, you make 200k/year just on interest. For a salary to make any difference to a person living a middle class life, they are going to need to pay you in the upper 6 to low 7 figures.

That prices you out of the market so may as well stay home and play with the kids.

Data has shown that the HEPA filters in planes are working very well to prevent transmission between passengers already. If anything you are much less at risk in a plane than anywhere else. These restrictions make as much sense as throwing water bottles before taking a flight.

Cargo cult security theater.
I see lots of good points in these threads about macroeconomics and the pandemic, but I was surprised to not see more talk about tech specifically, or the bigger elephant in the room: remorse about being paid lavishly for work in the attention economy. We're living in a period of remarkable disinformation, and many of our employers profited from it. When your bread comes from pumping bile into people's brains it might lead one to considering something less destructive, more meaningful, and more sustainable. The sheen of SV was sullied, now its all secrets, leaks, congressional hearings, and spin doctors incanting. Tech was once magical in its appeal - not just about profit, but about transforming society to something more egalitarian and hopeful. The events of the last few years broke that spell.
