>You can retrofit gps control systems onto older machines.

The highest precision accuracy of RTK devices has vendor-proprietary encrypted signals. E.g:
https://www.google.com/search?q=rtk+signal+encrypted+gps+%22...

So it seems like retrofitting for "precision ag" also depends on what commercial "RTK network" is offered in the farmer's local area. I think regular GPS is only ~10 ft accuracy so not sure of farmers are retrofitting tractor steering for that lower resolution.
select() is just a means to multiplex network I/O. It can be either blocking or non-blocking, depending on your application architecture. I have worked on both kinds.

BTW, the sockets themselves don't even have to be non-blocking.

Also, I'd like to stress that the concepts or blocking/non-blocking I/O and synchronous/asynchronous I/O are really orthogonal. You can do synchronous networking with non-blocking sockets and vice versa.
> You're avoiding the question

I answered your question despite it being a straw man argument.

> No, you made a categorical, absolute statement that "If you need privacy then you shouldn’t be uploading to GitHub in the first place."
This statement is utter nonsense.

Thus far all the arguments you’ve made have been either unsubstantiated or straw man.

Take the quote above, you argue it’s nonsense but offer zero evidence to back up that remark.

> Now you're just arguing that you didn't say what you actually said.

You’re changing the subject again instead of providing a counter argument. I’ve made my points clear, with examples as to why I’ve came to that conclusion, and there’s history of our chat in this forum.

This is clear an emotive topic for you but if you want to prove me wrong then please at least stick to the subject.
> How many will have long-term pain from learning , nutrition, physical abuse, mental health?

We know that. Not exact numbers, but at least there are rough estimates. It's been an active area of research for quite some time, so there's a lot of data. Statistically speaking, we know how childhood poverty or a missed school year means for average lifespan.

It's been theoreticized that a reason for the differences in pandemic response when it comes to Sweden are down to the fact that they recently unified all their people health issues, that is not only medical issues but also social ones, under one government agency. That broader mandate is generally more data driven and needs to take longer term effects of missing school into account.

> Most policy can be reduced to "Better safe than sorry"

That's not all there is to it. Strictly following that reasoning would emphasize known risks against unknown risks. That does not explain the policy making that dominated during the pandemic.

This bodes very poorly for Facebook. The money may still come in but forward-thinking younger talent can be the crucial difference between a trendy company like Facebook and a corporate monolith like Oracle.

If you've got 250 engineers then the AWS is going to be fairly predictable and well monitored.

>Meanwhile, keep in mind that the likes of Dropbox gave AWS a try but in the end learned from their experience and opted to migrate out after only 5 years.

Dropbox is memorable because they migrated off which says what many other companies don't do.

As you can tell by the massive growth of Azure many large enterprise companies definitely see the value despite already have their own datacenters.
well that sounds like marketing, which sometimes marketing can be correct, and sometimes it can be a bunch of BS. I don't know which is the case here but my hunch would be that if it were correct then old iron wouldn't be worth more than new to the people who would be best suited to know if it were BS or not.

There at any rate seems to be a discrepancy between what is supposed to be the case, and what people who should know seem to believe is the case.
Or Zenimax, or Microsoft.

The Algorithm Design Manual by Steven Skiena

Amazing book. Very readable. I highly recommend it. The book has a section call "War story" at the end of each chapter in which Skiena shares his real life experience of when the contents from that particular chapter came in handy for him.

Companies are legal fictions of the state, with privileges like limited liability. Therefore the state can impose requirements on how the same companies behave as well.

For example, a company could be made to serve the interests of employees rather than just shareholders. This can be done by, for example, requiring a certain percentage of the board of directors to be employee representatives.
>Mr Puzzles, clearly based on a misunderstanding of the movie Saw. He's a bad guy attempting to kill people via elaborate set-ups that make no sense. There are a lot of Saw movies so it's possible the bot spent 400,000 hours watching nothing but Saw movies.

How would that be possible? There seem to be nine Saw movies. Nowhere near 400,000 hours.

The title reads as follows:

>Netflix released a horror movie written by a bot and it's spectacular

That is confusing and click-baity.

The subtitle reads as follow:

>It's good. And by good I mean terrible.

Is it good or terrible? Does the word "terrible" refer to horror movies and sinister plots?

>As a journalist constantly stressed about being replaced by robots.

Did Mr. Puzzles put a period where the rest of the sentence should be to torment us?
Maybe it’s an ad. Paid for
That was their fix.
That's a kinda chicken and egg problem. I could argue that the more financing you give to people, the more they're gonna be willing to pay, so this actually drive prices up.
> WinDbg is not built-in in the literal sense (you have to download it separately)

I’m not sure about that. I think you downloading the GUI, not the debugger. The symbolic debugger engine is in DbgEng.dll and is included in Windows.

The sin is meritocracy. Any system which does not achieve equality of outcome is broken in the eyes of the woke. And they spread their views by bullying people who mostly don't fight back, like this astronomer.

It's not an objection. It's an explanation of why people install unstable or newer versions of software; a counterpoint to the article.

Applying your own patch to a piece of software makes it nonstandard and unstable (because it may introduce new bugs, like any change), the very thing the author of the article fears.

See my initial comment here.
If my life depended on a piece of software, I would choose the programmer who understood the impossibility of their task.
>the argument is that these new tractors are not repairable by yourself, leading to expensive repair

Correct, but the tradeoff calculation includes offsetting the expensive repair costs with potential increased productivity. Or likewise with the other option, the "savings" from cheap low-tech tractors may be negated by lower productivity.
Ah yes, forgot about those... A bit similar to the Windows solution. Unfortunately, the loopback socket method is the only cross-platform solution I am aware of and I always kind of felt bad using it...
Even if it's not prefabricated - what is the advantage over concrete forms? This is similar to injection molding vs 3D printing, however concrete forms are much easier to construct than injection molds. We also have the issue of site prep, roofing, insulation, wiring, windows, doors, etc., all of which are not 3D printed. You could have a 3D printer handle millwork, decorations, inlays, embossings, and things like that, but for the giant blocky structures it doesn't do much.

I like this "Why?" "Why not?" attitude. Surprised though that a whole operating system, kernel and all, is dockerised though, especially that the impression of Docker to me is that it is normally everything but the kernel.

Edit: I didn't read the QEMU in the name. I won't be surprised if this is a full software emulation though (instead of the now-common hardware-assisted virtualisation).

The suggestion was not to support the speech itself, but the right to the speech. Big difference.

Many of those who've been deplatformed for disinfo, or hateful speech, etc. couch their victimization narratives in the loftier ideals of free speech, with the disingenuous pronouncenent "who gets to decide?"

My point is that society decides and must necessarily decide if we're to continue to have a society. And, if they disagree that anyone should have the right to decide, then they can demonstrate their committment to that belief by openly embracing the speech rights of those most universally abhorred.

Otherwise, they acknowledge the existence of and rationale for limits, and just want to be the decider.

our infra is running on ECS because we set it up right before docker on lambda haha. Now we dont have the time to switch. Would be much better for us though.
True, but what you describe is related to the measurement and sampling accuracy. Until such sensors hit the Heisenberg uncertainty levels of precision on the readout/sensing, such uncertainties may be decreased further, there is no physical constrain on that (more sensors may help with that also). While it is in principle physically impossible to even identify the fact of movement linearly with constant speed without introducing external information (radar, GPS, wheels rotation, airspeed, magnetic and gravitational field change, Doppler shift in radio waves, etc). This is the relativity principle in action, which says that all the inertial frames of reference are equivalent.

Enterprise DRM. Provide encrypted video access for enterprises
I have working on this startup idea for last 2 months. The idea is to provide encrypted video access using DRM( digital rights management) to enterprises. The encrypted video access to enterprises should be useful for storing all hands videos, individual code walkthrough and other important internal enterprise videos.
with DRM, the secured video access can only be granted to individuals who need access to. I know zoom provides this feature. The video is not encrypted. People could download the videos and walk away.

Looking for like minded folks, mentors to expand on this idea, discussions.

It is always said that don’t assume the problem exists. Always validate a product market fit. I m not sure market exists for encrypted video access for enterprises.
Didn't Evernote experienced a similar hype cycle? I still vaguely remember when it was Evernote that was the new kid in the block back in the day, streamlining the organisation of personal knowledge/information with rich text editor, tags, and syncing.

It's probably better being hyped before waning than just waning, I guess.
I spent quite a bit of time using gpt-2 to try and make some new Dungeons & Dragons spells. I noticed that around 1 in a thousand spells it would generate would kind of make sense if you interpret it as being trying to be funny. It seems like AI is better at making funny things (unintentional so).

Here are two examples of some spells it generated.

Arcanum creates a massive pool of magical energy similar to that created by the Chariot of Crustaceans. The energy travels down the caster's legs and retains a magical aura similar to that of the ancient people of Cyprus. The spell creates one of the following: a dense fog, raging waters, strong winds, continuous thunderstorms, or a strong gust of wind. The material components are sand and powdered animal hoof.

Holding out his palm, the caster evokes a magical array of sounds in the area where he stands. The following sequence of events occurs, based on the alphabetical order of the alphabet.

It doesn't makes any sense to compare a country with a population density of 25/km2 to one with 8,358/km2. Also, Singapore's deaths per positive test and deaths per hospitalization are far lower even during the same outbreak period. Also, the suicide rates were already spiking by 19.15% in 2019, while the increase for 2020 was 13%, so to place the blame on lockdowns is misinformed and disingenuous, at best.

Seems like this runs qemu inside the container.
That might be justifiable if the service network is basically as fast as a DIY repair, however from what I read it is still treated to be a week-long turnover which might be fine for a low-stake consumer device but a downtime here means that net productivity will be lower than having less efficient but easily repairable machines.
> How would that be possible? There seem to be nine Saw movies. Nowhere near 400,000 hours.

Pretty simple; each Saw movie is 45,000 hours long.

More realistically, a training process might involve watching each movie more than once.

FB is already a legacy company in my opinion. It makes no products I am interested in using and gives no indication of ever doing so. I will never call them Meta and it's going to be funny when no one else does either. They haven't earned it.

Google, whatever its problems, gives some indication of keeping up with the times. Aside from undisputed leadership in AI, there are the little things: they recently overhauled their chat tooling (again) and (finally) added Slack-style emoji reactions. If they still had some of their mid-2000s mojo, it would be neat to see them try again with a social network product.

It’s an iPhone XS model. Occasionally I would get a “no carrier detected” error at the location while the signal bar is full. Looks like it’s signal related and it’s the path of handling error or exception.

Also does iPhone use ECC memory for all chips? Another possibility is my phone’s EM shielding is not good, and a strong EM/microwave signal scrambles the memory in one of the chips, probably the signal receiving chip. The freeze only happens occasionally.

It's a revision of history to suggest that government-imposed lockdowns are the only thing that caused the economy to stall. If you recall in the United States at least, not much had really changed until the NBA, a private organization, suspended play on their own on 3/11 [1]. Then the floodgates opened as other private organizations followed suit. The first government shutdown orders then came from San Francisco on 3/16 [2] and New York followed suit on 3/20 [3].

You can see in [4] that consumer spending patterns were changing well before lockdown orders were issued. In fact, consumer spending falls off a cliff the day the NBA suspended its season, which was also when the US stopped all flights to Europe. I don't think anyone argues that stopping travel to Covid hotzones was a bad idea, right? You can see that people starting to eat out less the first week of March, whereas lockdowns really came into full swing around the end of March.

Did lockdowns impact the economy? Sure. But you can't say the economy would be inflation-free and there would be no shortages or supply chain failures if no lockdowns were imposed.

> We have the worst vaccine coverage of western Europe.

You're right, I hadn't realised this. Still, all countries in Western Europe are within ~10% of each other when it comes to the percentage of the population that's fully vaccinated.

More generally, I definitely don't think Switzerland's handling of the pandemic was perfect, but it currently seems to me that Switzerland did mostly follow the advice of the scientific community.
Not sure about that. I think management and culture would be the deciding factor. In fact our age demands diversity in the workplace and age is one of those dimentions.
