The ammos are curious, looks like some CR2032 batteries :-) wondering why they have chosen this weird shape! By the way 4kg/7lbs is very heavy for this size, I’m also curious in the price of this thing.
>Another theory is that Palestine came to be known as Palaistine after the Philistines via a process called "pars pro toto", which means that a part becomes the name of the whole.

The history is well known, and there's no need for theorizing. You meant 'renamed by Emperor Hadrian to the names of nearby provinces, after crushing the local revolt as a method of erasing the province's residents'.

At 6 cents/SMS, I find Twilio and similar services way too expensive. Compare that to the unlimited SMS plan that I can get for 2€/month here in France, and setting up a gateway like that becomes very attractive.

In my experience it's very unstable however. Sending and receiving SMS can take anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds, and the modem can't do both at the same time. I tried configuring gammu's timeouts, loop delays and whatnot, but couldn't get something that's reliable enough for production.

A lot of recent packs give you a quest book to guide your progress and push you into the different mods slowly. You get maybe 70-80% through one mod's tech tree and then you're pushed to start on another section before you can progress into that last 20%. The Project Ozone series does a REALLY good job of making sure the different mods balance each other and interact in a way that feels good.

> you end up with a billion items

Yeah that gets bad. Most packs have some sort of inventory organization system (basically a computer you can stick all your items into with no organization and then search them up later) to help alleviate that.
This is mindfulness by definition, and also the answer to the question "how do you sustain mindfulness throughout the day?"

One purpose of having periods of formal meditation is to be able to sustain greater periods of mindfulness throughout the day. Formal meditation gets the mind used to coming back to what's at hand.

To take it a little further, you can practice having a tiny moment of mindful awareness each time before you open your mouth to speak or eat, and each time before you move your body.
Not as much past discussion as I thought. I must have confused it with the water one.

I wish we could just standardize on (say) 12 volts, with some barrel connector size that is currently unused. All cables that have the barrel must carry at least 250W. Current negotiation works like this:

All power supplies must tolerate over current by optionally voltage drooping to 5V for 100ms, then (mandatory) tripping a breaker if overcurrent persists. Devices can binary search on the current draw, or not (so long as they actually trip the breaker and don’t just cycle on and off at 10hz).

Plus on inside minus on outside for barrel connector.

Done. Forever. The complete spec could fit on a page.
Of course they don’t actually consider facts when wielding their hate boners for cryptocurrencies. It’s become tired and predictable every time this topic is brought up.

I can’t see gen one being that accessible. This product will replace high resolution monitors. I suspect part of the reason Apple has starved mid market 4K/5K is in anticipation of these obviating the need for a one or more monitors.

If that’s the case, the glasses would avoid what would already have been a theoretical $2k Apple monitor. [1]

Given these will also likely offer AR and access to apps and experiences monitors will not, I easily see the price crossing into the 3k territory.

What I’m wondering is if they will integrate audio or it will pair with AirPods. And if they will use motion data from Watch off the bat.

I’m guessing they will pair w airpods and watch. This would push the total cost of the complete system toward the $4k mark depending on what Watch / airpods are used.

>It's solid oak. Just the material would retail for around £20-30.

I would not be that sure, the description talks of "solid oak & veneer", but given that it is all solid oak (the drawer is most probably veneer), it is anyway an industrial product.

Dimensions: H11.3 x W15.8 x D15.8cm

Using approximate measures an 1.5 cm for thickness to consider waste, I get:

Back+back of drawer+front of drawer=3x0.12x0.16x0.015=0.000864

Bottom+Top+bottom of drawer=3x0.16x0.16x0.015=0.001152

sides+sides of drawer=4x0.16x0.12x0.015=0.001152

wooden pegs=4xPix0.02x0.02x0.03=0.000151

total 0.003319 m3, let's add some 20% more, 0,004

20/0.004=5,000pounds/m3

30/0.004=7,500 pounds/m3

I think a very fine european oak should sell retail for 2,000 pounds/m3 or less.

Don't really get your point.

> The people have dramatically altered their behavior on a global scale (on average anyways) because of COVID’s lethality. There is absolutely selective pressure in that dimension.

This reads to me: "Covid is certainly more lethal than the average flu, therefore is undoubtedly getting less lethal" (effect of selective pressure). It doesn't make much sense.

> there wouldn’t be anywhere near the amount of research into medical intervention

Right, how's that has to do with whether there's selective pressure or not?

It almost feels like you are attributing a different meaning to "selective pressure", but cannot understand which one.
so all cables and connectors rated for a bit over 20amps (i.e. more than your usual domestic socket, for reference what cable sizes that is), DC, with disconnection under load? That is highly impractical.
I've added custom materials building upon THREE's shader code, and found this part more organized than you're describing, though undocumented. They're using a custom shader preprocessor, and shaders use it to include different "chunks" based the type of material, whether it has lighting/shadows enabled, etc. Some parts are a bit messy, but overall a decent compromise to generate efficient shader code for each material (and I don't think it counts as an "uber shader").

Note this is all without using the new NodeMaterial, which I didn't even realize existed due to the also missing documentation.

ColBERTv2: Effective and Efﬁcient Retrieval via Lightweight Late Interaction
I tried out K3s (via Rancher Desktop) on my Mac, and was disappointed to discover that it would consume about 30% CPU while idle, enough to run the fan at maximum speed. By "idle" I mean running absolutely no containers other than what's included in the base install.

The full version of Kubernetes has the same flaw, and is the curse of distributions like Minikube and Kind. While K3s is marketed as a lightweight Kubernetes distribution, it does not fix the idle CPU usage issue. The reason, from what I can tell, is that Kubelet relies on polling everything. It's not efficiently implemented because nobody has ever needed it to be.

That means that, just like Minikube and Kind, it's not really suitable as something to run on your desktop. Which is really unfortunate, because it's a great way to run system software (think Postgres or Redis) that's a share dependency among a team's apps.
The latest shortcuts app is able to monitor the charge level and one can configure it as a trigger.
This just happened to me on Friday!

I’ve been using the same Apple ID for a decade or more. I’ve purchased thousands of dollars worth of apps and content, and probably tens of thousands worth of Apple devices in the last twenty years.

The initial chat support experience was the same as OP: (paraphrasing) “No, we can’t tell you what happened. No, you have no recourse.”

Even when I asked to escalate to their management, I was told that they would have no additional tools to assist me.

My initial shock and outrage was palpable. I managed to get in touch with a Senior Rep who is looking into my case and is scheduled to call me back on 12/9.

My only theory for why my account was banned is that on 12/2 (the day before the ban) I made a purchase using a gift card on apple.com. The gift card was a promo from another device purchase I made on 11/26 (Black Friday). I had both devices shipped to my parent’s house (a different address from my billing address), and so maybe some fraud detection kicked in due to the purchases being so close together, using a gift card, and sent to some other address?

I’ll update once the senior rep gets back in touch on Thursday, but in the meantime I’ve already started drafting my letter to Tim Cook.

Why does it matter who administers the account you use to log in to the game?
OK then, let's look at that. If you're an ambitious person and your entire neighbourhood and everyone you've ever known is poverty-stricken, there are no jobs in your area, and the only thing akin to a route out of poverty is the drug trade, what are you gonna do? Even if you don't want to be involved, gangs may forcibly recruit you at a young age. The problem perpetuates itself as gangs mean no new business will move into the area for fear of being robbed or extorted.

Immigrants moving from other countries are not necessarily stuck in the mindset that comes from poverty and crime. This isn't a uniquely racial thing either; here in the UK we have a near identical problem (minus gun violence) with young poor majority-white men, called chavs. Poverty and lack of opportunity drives crime, and crime tends to perpetuate the same problems that caused it. Thus, the systems-theory aspect of critical theory, which is the complex part I was talking about previously.
One thing that would have benefit me greatly in both High School and College is getting my ADHD diagnosed and my depression treated. I struggled with depression from my teens to my late twenties and it held me back a lot. I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 30s and my life has been on a substantial upswing since.

Otherwise, in high school: Be more social and more active.

In university I would have also benefitted from not having to work many evenings and weekends. This would have helped my schooling and my social life substantially.

Being more willing to relocate for my summers to find good internships would have also been a huge help I think. As it was I had to find work with zero work experience when I graduated and I feel it slowed my career trajectory substantially.

Overall, balancing work and university just burned me out and set me on a path of feeling like my whole life would just be gainless toil for a long time. I feel my 20s were largely wasted on this attitude towards work and life. I would 100% recommend taking higher student loans and focussing on study and social life rather than study and work.

Even better would be if post secondary became provided by society.

As much as it might seem practically expedient, I'd advise not doing this.

I'm imagining a lawyer for the injured person hearing they resorted to fabricating evidence, lawyer looking sad or irritated, and telling the person there's nothing the lawyer can do for them now. At least not on the original problem, though now the person might have an additional problem.
> The electric power consumption at our place is under 5.5 kWh per day on average, with very few peaks. Slightly less than average for Belgium,

That's an average of about 230 watts. How do you get that low?

An idling iMac with Intel processor is around 70 watts, according to Apple. My refrigerator is suppose to average about 50 watts. That's halfway to your usage right there. In the summer, when I don't need heat, I usually have a box fan in a window to circulate air, which is another 50 watts. Add another 10 watts for my cable modem and router. There's probably another 20 watts total for various other things like TV in standby, a couple of smart speakers for voice control and music, and network switches.

So that's got me to 87% of your usage just from things that are happening all the time when I'm not even doing anything! (Oh, and there is an outdoor security light that comes on at night. I have no idea what its power use is (or even what technology it uses [1])).

Then there are the things whose power depends on what I'm doing. Microwave and toaster oven once a day to make breakfast, and sometimes to make other meals. About 40 minutes walking on my treadmill. Electric pump at my well to supply my water. Electric lights. Electric water heater for my hot water. I also actually use my computer and my TV at times, so they are often using quite a bit more than idle or standby power.

That's got me way over your usage on an ordinary day when I'm just doing my daily things. Looking at my records, the lowest I've gotten down to is about 12 kWh in a day, which I can hit in summer, although average in summer is a little higher due to things like an electric washer and dryer that I typically use a little more than once a week, and an electric dishwasher used a little less than once a week.

The internet tells me that about half the households in Belgium have natural gas. Are you doing with gas some of the things I do with electricity, like water heating and cooking?

[1] Seriously, I have no idea what the heck it is, except that it is not LED. It has been there as long as I've owned the house, running every night. It has accumulated at least 50000 on hours since I've been here, which is quite a bit longer than the expected lifetime of every kind of bulb I've found that otherwise looks like it might be the same technology.

Taxonomy is a wild world, exactly because species are human inventions. Taxonomists can generally be classified as 'joiners' (who advocate for fewer species) and 'splitters' (who advocate finer divisions). The linked article is written by a splitter. "Can't produce human speech sounds" seems like a good indication that a split in human taxonomy is worthwhile, though.
> Around 3000 BC, a group of savage tribes now known as the Indo-Europeans invaded Europe from eastern Ukraine and southern Russia, destroying the EEF civilizations east of the Rhine in at most two centuries.

It detracts from the writer's argument to uniquely characterize the IE Europeans as savage here. Savagery was the norm for all groups at the time. Monopolies of violence didn't exist in any significant way, and institutions were also non-existent.

Some civilizations appear more egalitarian than others, i.e Crete, Indus Valley, but the idea of non-savagery as a virtue didn't emerge until much later, and we don't know how much savagery those civilizations might have engaged in because we have lost their histories.
And after that... You still buy Apple things? Rotfl!
> by AWS is a reflection of true price/performance

I assume you mean cost / performance as in Cost to amazon and not price as in price paid by consumers? Because Graviton is both faster and cheaper per vCPU. ( Amazon unit for a single thread )

>AWS taking a short term margin hit

It is hard because even if you can reliably extrapolate the cost of Graviton chip by wafer price. You will never know how they put the R&D into accounting. Do you have NRE cost in every single one those chips? ( which is what most people assume but not necessarily true ) Or do you move the whole R&D of Graviton into whole AWS R&D budget? And then you will have to calculate the power usage per workload to work out the power saving which gives you the TCO. Since 30%+ of Operating cost are going to energy usage. Being power efficient is also extremely important at the scale of AWS.

All in all I do not believe that Amazon is takin a short term margin hit ( and I dont understand where this narrative came from ), it is cheaper to produce, it uses less energy, and Amazon is pricing it as such, slightly cheaper than Intel and AMD's counterpart. Just like they did with the first generation of ARM. Graviton actually being faster per core just happens to be a bonus.

One has to remember. Moving to ARM / Graviton instances isn't free. You have to do your own testing and benchmarks to make sure it is indeed faster for your Apps. And that isn't always the case. You also have to make sure every part of your stack compile and works 100% on ARM. It just happens the cost saving is so gigantic lots of companies are spending time to move, which create a positive feedback loop in both open source and proprietary software to move towards ARM.
