I think on-device text transcription is getting good enough where hopefully it catches on. I've been impressed by how good it works on cheap Android phones for English, no idea how it is progressing for other languages but I have to imagine it will; but there is a question of whether senders still prefer the voice snippets for some reason. Transcribing on the receiving end could work too but unfortunately has disadvantages like not having access to the sender's dictionary and corrections.
Digital Ocean isn't accessible in China. Lightsail and AWS are. GCP also works. We hosted in Japan and HK on Lightsail for production projects for use in mainland China. We did run into the performance cap, so eventually switched from Lightsail to AWS proper.
Well that split in inline with most world/global market cap weighted stock indices so is hardly Earth shattering.
If you want to ensure the SoC is not backdoored, your only option is Precursor, which can make a fairly solid claim that silicon backdoors for FPGAs are infeasible in the general case.

https://www.crowdsupply.com/sutajio-kosagi/precursor

If you're willing to trust that the silicon isn't secretly backdoored in some ridiculous invisible way, well, unlike Intel, the M1 does not have any hyper-privileged proprietary firmware by all indications, and that proprietary firmware which does exist is plaintext and analyzable (and not privileged to scan memory), so I have a much easier time trusting these machines than a random x86 PC (all-privileged SMM supervisor and ME/PSP) or Android phone (all-privileged TrustZone supervisor).
Shoddy math alert.

If there's a virus that hit a billion people, where 100 of them are people with blue hair, and there were 110 deaths, 90 of them being blue-haired people and 20 from the rest of the billion, if you had blue hair would you be extra worried?

sure it only kills 0.0..something..09% of people, but...

Edit: thanks for the downvotes. Of course the numbers are exaggerated, but it's to make a point.

If you want to do some maths, please give a percentage of black police encounters that end up with the black person being shot, and compare that with other races. The first number is probably very low as well, but my instinct is that the comparison will be shocking.

In any case, police in the US are woefully undertrained hotheads. In contrast, I saw a video today from Europe where a suicidal woman had a knife and officers around her. One of them pepper-sprayed her, it didn't work, and suddenly another hit her with a big fencepole that he pulled out of the ground. She was a threat to mostly herself, and luckily they didn't neutralize the threat by a bullet that could've been fatal.
I remember working as a Systems Analyst for city government. It was always super hard to predict who would and wouldn't like change. for the most part it didn't matter what the change was, they either had an affinity for it or not.

Our 70-odd year old archivist learned how to use the new OCR software and was ingesting tax documents faster than with the old system in under a week. The 30 year old finance guys would dig their heels in. The mayor always followed instructions, the city manager had no clue how computers actually worked but had no clue they had no clue. You just never know.
Wait what? There is positive news about the environment.

Nuclear energy is already sustainable with technology we have, breeder reactors and fuel reprocessing. They have been built since the 60s, some are still in operation, and more are under construction in India and China, where there is still an appetite for nuclear power.

Here are a handful of personal ones for me:

- Health & Well-being: Step count (Apple Watch). Weight (Withings Scale). Meditation minutes. Sleep (Whoop). First sunlight exposure (circadian entrainment). Lunch and dinner times (circadian entrainment). Water consumption.

- Work: Time spent on Conjure. Time spent on client work.

- Self Development: Books read. Time spent reading. Time spent consuming inspiring material (mindset).

I mostly track them manually or automatically in Conjure[1] (disclaimer I'm building it) and then link them to Habits and Objectives in it.

I also tend to add and remove different measures/metrics at different times based on what is going on in my life, or pause certain ones for a while if I'm burnt out and need less overhead in my day-to-day.

Just curious, why do you think so? I do think this should be the case, but I just don't see it happening.
What do you do with this information? Do you create multiple MVP games and then complete development based on wish list metrics?
This is a rehash of breeder reactor talking points that are decades old. Some, like seawater extraction have always been pie in the sky. Breeder technologies have a track record. That track record is why new breeder reactors are not being built under any political or regulatory system.

It is no coincidence that nuclear reactor PR has ramped up during the COP conference. It's last call.
I switched from Pixels to iPhone and this really bothers me about apple. I had to switch my wifes screen on iPhone 11. Ordered OEM refurbished screen, replaced it.......and got a message this IS NOT OEM SCREEN. So, I looked into it, even a screen from another iPhone 11 wont work as they are programmed for specific device. This is craziness.

While, I'm on topic of iPhones, many people told me that the ecosystem is just SO GOOD, everything just WORKS. I had issues with the apple watch showing notifications few minutes later. AirPlay is just complete trash and rarely works.

I am so tired of brand loyalist, marketing and astroturfing.

As a side note, I recently bought a "Gorilla Cart", great marketing, mostly amazing reviews, many positive youtube videos. Thing broke during first use, some of the parts were rusted inside. One cannot trust anything anymore.

Apologies for the rant.

I find the Markor app (open source) great for editing text files, you can also customize it quite a bit. Then for uploading possibly syncthing would work.

I have followed the nuclear for more than 3 decades and invested in junior E&P for more than a decade. Everyone, understandably, hopes for something to drop in and save us from the situation we're in with the climate and energy intensity. Nuclear will be a part of it, but everything I said in my post was true like it or not. Plans for a thorium reactor do not amount to a commercial thorium reactor. Also, 5 grams is useless and I do discount it - the seawater extraction tech is trivial, but doing it at scale and positive net energy is not.

Everything I said can change. But let's not fool ourselves about the current state of tech. Part of the frustration is the "fake it til you make it" culture in tech being a terrible fit for nuclear, which requires thinking in centuries for site placement, staffing, and waste management.
The opening paragraph, describes very well what I think would happen in Catalonia the day after a hypothetical independence, at least one achieved in the way the pro-independence movement wanted to achieve it (with extreme polarization of the Catalan society and antagonization of the different sectors of society that did not support the so-called Process).

"On December 6th 1917 the Grand Duchy of Finland declared independence, becoming the first nation to independently secede from the corpse of the Russian Empire and the embryo that was to become the Soviet Union. Just fifty-three days later on the night of January 27th 1918, Finland erupted into a brutal civil war. Two opposing movements had polarized the Finnish people to the breaking point. For the next three and a half months, the Finnish people tore their nation apart in a conflict that would claim the lives of 36,000 people, out of a total population of just 3 million"

The pro-independence factions are also very divided, even though they always achieve to form a coalition to govern the region. Thus, the tension would be fractal.

p.s. I live in Catalonia and lived the 2017 events with more fear of the aftermath of the events, than the events themselves.
You can, but it will only use one, switching to the highest wattage automatically.
"On its face, this article suggests a 'surveillance state,' brought about by people surveilling their own property."

The main issue is that the cameras capture other people's properties too, or (less problematically) public spaces. If it truly were only the owner's property, then this wouldn't be an issue.

We have this stuff on paper.

Stuff tends not to work out in practise. It costs more, it's unreliable etc.

If this were a solved problem why is there so much nuclear waste that has not been bred and reprocessed?

You could probably get around this by

A) labelling 1-2 review items with "needs more reviews" message

Or B) not giving an aggregate review score for low review items. Actually replacing the review star bar with "needs more reviews". Then when the user goes from the listing page to the detail page, you can show the reviews next to a message saying "this item only has a few reviews, so we can't be sure they're accurate until more people chime in"
>In the judgement it was found that the Ring doorbell captured images of the claimant's house and garden, while the shed camera covered almost the whole of her garden and her parking space.

...and...

>She said that she found the audio data that could capture conversations "even more problematic and detrimental than video data".

So it wasn't just a doorbell aimed at the street. It was the totality of the video and audio surveillance of an area that the neighbour could reasonably expect to be somewhat private.
>Performance is comparable

Can't find links now, but fairly certain were stories in past about how switching to AWK from other tools increased performance
And that power will be uncontrollable, annoying on the grid (demand and supply must be in sync otherwise !FUN! happens), and costs of storage that make for fully renewable grid quickly eclipse costs of the more expensive nuclear options.

Personal:

- Tracking hours / quality of sleep (with the SleepCycle app)

- Weights I lift in compound exercises like bench press or deadlift (pen + paper). It's motivating to see progress.

- General daily well being on a scale from 1-10 (google doc). This is divided into my perceived productivity and mood. I seem to be quite erratic with tracking this recently though - I might build a simple app with reminders to help me. The scores I collect can be easily looked up in relation with my other notes (todo lists, basic journal etc.) to find what affects me the most.

- Budgeting (revolut)

Business:

Background - I'm working on an app to make online meetings more fun. At the core I have rooms where guests can hang out and engage in different activities. The metrics I focus most for now are:

- Monthly unique guests that join any kind of room as my guiding metric.

- Currently experimenting with total aggregated human time spent in the rooms daily / weekly / monthly. This seems to be a better metric because in contrast with a plain MAU it also indicates engagement and general impact (would love some feedback on that - for more context on the app: https://flat.social).

- Conversion rates from different call to actions spread across various subpages.

- Core user journey funnels to see where new users get stuck so I can clean up any confusing areas of the app out (copy, buttons, navigation etc.)

> The time budget for high quality engineers working on this will also be limited as there's no market that I think of, only itch scratching.

That's why I started this project backed by a Patreon. I knew this couldn't be accomplished via itch scratching; it has to be a job (not quite full time yet, but a good chunk thereof).

FWIW: the userspace GPU driver is now passing 90% or so of the GLES tests running on macOS; only the kernel side is not started yet. The ML cores are a niche use case and broadly not useful for anyone not doing machine learning on Linux (but some people are interested in them and have started taking a look). And power management already works to a significant extent; in the next week or so I'll be submitting v3 of the PMGR driver and v2 of the cpufreq driver for upstreaming, and starting work on SMC (needed for battery/charging info). And the security chip (SEP) has already been poked at; the mailbox interface to it is shared with other chips and has already been upstreamed, and the protocol on top isn't terribly complicated. It's mostly a matter of building a little driver to give userspace access to it, and writing some tooling to use it.

They have to because a large part of their voting base consists of older members who joined the greens back in the 60s, 70s and 80s because they were the first to spread FUD and mobilize against nuclear power plants.
Oh, thanks! I thought there was something about a regiment of Hungarians dying far from their motherland? But if it was the Russo-Turkish war I probably misremember it and it was a Finnish regiment dying far from home. I think it all had something to do with the fact that Finno-Ugric is one language family and I got the feeling it meant that Finnish and Hungarian people feel connected through it somehow?

Edit: thanks to your pointer, I had a look around and I think the song refers to the battle of Gorni Dubnik, where the Finnish Guard sharpshooters fought (but didn't all die, as I remembered).

Thanks and again sorry to the thread for hijacking it!
Guess all those world class bodybuilders eating chicken are killing themselves with low quality protein.
I think climate change is solvable, but we need solutions we can implement now. Proven solutions exist. Scaling up nuclear is not a solution. It is too slow and requires too much manpower.

Nuclear had its chance, and it failed to deliver. It's a failed technology. It didn't work out, and it was never as cheap or as reliable as people wish it was.
Reconciliation never fully came. People lived and died with their grudges and hate. I remember the bitterness of old people around the issue from the time when I was young.

Soon after the civil war Social Democratic party was the government and Finns had a president that was social democrat. It made it possible for reds and whites to live together without killing each other.

Then Winter War came (1939) and Finns united to defend the country against common enemy. That created aseveliakseli (comrade-in-arms axis) where both whites (captialists) and red (socialists) fought together against common enemy (Soviet Union)

Here's your usual reminder that Julian Assange currently isn't charged with anything in the UK, that the only crime he actually committed was bail jumping which he served his sentence for, that the original accusation that led to the bail jumping has since been proved to be fraudulent, and that the US extradition request has been denied on grounds that the US prison system is so inhuman that it can't guarantee that Assange wouldn't commit suicide if he was extradited.

And yet Assange is still detained in the UK despite being charged with no crime by the UK, while the US prepare an extradition appeal.

There are no words to describe how disgusting the US's authoritarian fixation on making an example out of Assange is. He's been hunted by three administrations now, two of them Democrat, for the crime of revealing the US's own war crimes to the world.

The western world needs to stop being complicit with the US and start treating it like the rogue superpower it is.
Is the implication here that covid is somehow different from other coronaviruses? Actually, is there even any evidence that unvaccinated hospital workers, who presumably have had two years to develop immunity, spread covid? You'd think there would have been ample time to conclusively answer that question, and that it would be reported on by media in articles detailing vaccine hesitancy among hospital workers.

Is there another form of energy generations with "no risk of accidents"? I've read some statistics that say nuclear energy is already safer than all other forms of energy generation per kWh. As for proliferation risk I think it's becoming a moot point as countries like Iran, North Korea, etc., are already making their own highly enriched nuclear materials and can give it to whoever they want.
If only the world would have followed Sweden and France [1] and largely de-carbonized their electrical grid by the 90s using primarily nuclear, we would be in a much better situation when it comes to global warming.

The performance of the stock market in the last year or so shows that most investors see it as the safest haven for their liquid capital. Combine that with the fact that most of the dollars printed in the past 18 months have gone straight into large investors' pockets and you have a perfect storm for the usual safe-bet stocks skyrocketing.

Lately, I've been spending a lot of time reviewing my metrics, both personal and professional. I realized that many of the metrics fell into the category of lag measures (e.g. pounds lost per month). Now, I'm trying to pepper my goals with more lead measures (e.g. number of times I hit the gym per week), wanting a mix of both types of metrics.

Same applies for running my business. Instead of focusing all my efforts on revenue, I'm keeping a close eye on metrics in my control (e.g. number of people I touched base with this week)
