In my area, corrugated steel is sold with 'zinc-alum' and powder-coating pre-applied.

I think they also apply paint to cut edges and drilled holes during installation.

Its extremely popular, probably seen on around 50% of roofs, and is also used for exterior cladding on a lot of new houses.

(although as cladding, it's usually used for only half the house, alternating with some other cladding)

China Develops AI 'Prosecutor'
I checked about 5 stores near me (including 2 CVS stores), and they were all sold out and said they had no idea how to find out where to look. Then I saw a pic on my local subreddit from another CVS about 1 mile further out had a mountain of tests on a table. So the inventory and supply chain problems are deep, in addition to any other issues that may be going on.
There should have been a fork+exec that would also do all the stuff everybody is obliged to code, anyway, between them.

Some programs would still fork, grovel around, and exec if the combined thing didn't do everything they need exactly the way they need, but the copying page tables and file descriptors, and marking everything read-only, is mostly wasted, as is the parent process needing to fault on all those pages. I wonder whether, if a COW page drops back to one reference, it is also marked back to writable, or if the fault has to happen anyway.
In my experience the download services have weird time limits and are pretty crappy, I'd rather just have the content on my Plex server.

Is anyone sure this actually happened?
Been spending (too much?) money there for years. Wonderful outfit.
Many of these are valid question. I wonder if the author has ever by chance read any of my comments scattered across the internet on codec. Because I have been writing and questioning this for many years.

For example, Facebook prefer JPEG XL over AVIF;

>JPEG XL encoding at speed/effort 6 is as fast as JPEG encoding (using MozJpeg with Trellis encoding enabled). This means that it's practical to encode JPEG XL images on the fly and serve to client. This can be compared with the encoding speed of AVIF which necessitates offline encoding which offers much less flexibility when it comes to delivering dynamically sized and compressed content.

This is encoding complexity at scale. Decoding complexity are often discussed in codec development meetings due to the fact CPU performance improvement has slowed down a lot in recent years ( Apple M1 being an outliner here ). You have double the complexity, did we have double the CPU performance improvement?

People often assume hardware decoding = dedicated / low power decoding. Which isn't necessarily true. On Desktop and Laptop you could have hardware decoding using up to 2W if not 4W or more for Semi-GPU assisted. Compared to Smartphone which generally prefer to have average ~0.1W during decoding. This is only for Qualcomm and Apple though. Some other brand may allow much higher power budget.

Then there is the storage requirement question. It makes sense for Netflix, which is a comparatively tiny amount of content, they could serve using any codec they sit fit and have all these different variation to lower bandwidth / provide higher quality. Compared to Youtube, which has more than 500 HOURS of content uploaded every "minute". Adding an additional codec variant will have a different storage cost calculation.

And Bandwidth, quoting Cloudflare;

>During the last ten years, industry wholesale transit prices have fallen an average of 23% annually. Compounded over that time, wholesale bandwidth is 93% less expensive than 10 years ago.

Compared to video codec development, x264 started "pre 2010", to the best AV1 / VVC Encoder ( Not even publicly available ), only provided a maximum of ~64% bitrate reduction ( or 40% reduction per generation )in both subjective and objective test by Moscow State University. Over the span of 15 years, compared to the best and non-widely available, non-widely supported codec we only have a 64% reduction. While bandwidth had 93% reduction in 10 years only.
I was a staunch atheist until very recently, when I asked myself the question: isn’t atheism about being -sure- that there is no higher power? How can anyone be sure? Isn’t it arrogant to think that?

So I’d say I’m now agnostic — I simply don’t know.
I don’t know how I did it but I teleported to level 2 before even leaving the first screen of level 1.
They save a lot of lives too. Maybe you're too young to remember the days of literal snake oil, or radium water, or "vital rays". The real problem with the FDA is they use a one-size-fits-all approach that is optimized to be as conservative as possible.
Too little energy and too unreliable. The article mentions that this clock stops sometimes and needs to be manually readjusted once it is back.
Interesting! You might already know this, but in the UK our super bulky plugs are designed to avoid contact with hot pins by having a longer earth pin than the others so when you remove the plug, by the time there is enough gap for your fingers to slip onto the metal, all the pins will be fully disconnected from the socket.

there's a reasonable argument to be made that constraints
are what drives creativity

It has often been said that budgetary and technical constraints were the genesis of many of the visual trademarks we see in Japanese anime/manga. I am no expert (just a fan for many years) but certainly of the belief that this is the case.
> My acquaintance dug into some 400 years of Japanese history to explain why it had less problems with corruption than China, next door.

Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong are closer to China in terms of both geography and culture without having problems with corruption. It's almost as if 400 years of history has very little to do with it.
The "serious advances" is DSC, which the XDR is already using to support 6k over a single DisplayPort HBR2 link. Which, as others mentioned, can be carried via USB-C alt-mode in addition to Thunderbolt.

6k 120Hz and 5k 144Hz are both possible over a single HBR3 link with DSC. Such monitors don't exist because the panels don't exist; rather the closest panel for sale is perhaps the 5120x1440 at 240Hz in the Samsung G9. Which has the same bandwidth requirements as a hypothetical 5120x2880 at 120Hz.

If you want 240Hz at >4k, or 8k 120Hz, then sure that exceeds existing DisplayPort 1.4 and ThunderBolt 4 bandwidth capabilities even with DSC, and you'll need the upcoming DisplayPort 2.0 link rates. (or DSC+chroma subsampling)
Fire risk, largely from people who don't know there's a lint trap and that they're supposed to clean it.
I have to close my blinds to be able to see my monitors during the day.

The UK has the best designed plugs IMO but they sure are clunky as a result.
I think ideally technology that is beneficial does just one thing, it helps you get something done more effectively and it is otherwise invisible.

By that standard most gadgets today probably qualify as anti-technology. A big pile of electronic garbage that wastes people's time and is in the way and does virtually nothing useful for the cost it comes with.

The last newer thing I actually like is the Kindle. You can carry a few hundred books around, the battery still lasts forever and it just displays books.
You mean Intel - older Thunderbolt displays don't support USB-C alt-mode because Intel didn't support it as input until Titan Ridge Thunderbolt controllers.
Haven't read a single book in years. I wish I had the time to just lean back and enjoy. If I'd to choose now, I'd be going for The Expanse by James S. A. Corey.

Let's step back a minute.

The American Public is quite possibly the most propagandized citizenry in the world. That has very high costs, and we don't talk about that anywhere near the degree we should.

What you just wrote is part of that cost.

I'm not excusing them, nor advocating their position on this, but a quick look at all this from their point of view can be illuminating.

They have been lied to, ripped off, fear mongered, and manipulated to a point where they can, do and are experiencing genuine ambiguity rooted in a basic lack of trust and inability to reason well, when said reason crosses various politicized or over exploited (manipulated) lines.

And, it's not free! We are all paying for it, and that's fine. I'm a fan of such things and feel our tax dollars could be delivering a much higher net value for all of us given a different set of priorities, but I also digress, save to point out those people will tell you it's not free, and that fact coupled with the lies and manipulation mixed in with for profit medicine issues are all more than sufficient to trigger mistrust and or reluctance to buy into what they may see as an overblown crisis.

To be clear, we are in a pandemic, yes we all need to get the shot, and we will benefit from those things in a number of ways, all of which are important.

Now, I'm stopping there with the intent of making a point: Blaming people, calling them too stupid, or crazy, or whatever basic, issue is assigned to "the problem" does not help any of us. Doing that actually makes it worse, and it makes for a more impotent conversation aimed at solutions, progress, improving on things too.

Fact is when we invest in people, we get returns. Fact also is when we spam people with BS non stop for decades, we get costs.
Can you recommend something on the topic? I'm asking sincerely because I'm currently working on my personal study plan.

You could say the same thing about laundry.

While US has a plethora of laundromats and buildings get dedicated laundry rooms, in Europe (at least), even the tiniest apartments in apartment buildings have their own washing machine.

While there is some overhead (if it breaks, you have to find someone to fix it; you need to clean that filter...), people have happily accepted the decentralization since the benefits outweigh the overhead.

Same can be done with any other tech if we focus on streamlining it.

Yeah, I think software piracy was a huge part of technological learning for me from an early age, figuring out how to the name of what I was even looking for (cracks, Warez), using astalavista, early torrent clients, forwarding ports, finding good torrents, using a firewall to block applications, applying cracks, learning about loaders, key generators, patches, protectors, and later reverse engineering and cracking software myself... staring at assembly in IDA for a few days straight so you can do something no one else online has done is a pretty interesting experience and probably one of the most formative ones to my enjoyment of computing.
When someone comes up with a way to explain the same concepts using a simpler and easier to understand way, over time it becomes the new notation. But it rarely is world changing, mostly it’s small, incremental changes.

One big example of a major notation change is Grothendieck’s effect on algebraic geometry. It used to be about solutions of sets of polynomial equations. Now it’s all about sheaves and schemes and moduli spaces and representable functors and stacks and… This new notation changed the way mathematicians think. Did it simplify things and made it more accessible to lay people? I’d argue, not at all, in fact you probably need a year or two of university math education to fully understand what a scheme even is.

I guess category theory is example in the other direction: it greatly simplified and unified thinking in algebraic topology and geometry. However, it’s not that big of a help to a complete newbie: if you are at a complete loss when you encounter a cohomology theory for the first time, framing it in terms of graded functors won’t be of huge incremental help.

Point here is that notation is there to help mathematicians, not regular people, but regular people neither are able to understand all of it, nor do they care, so it’s not much of a loss.
To my understanding, comptime is a form of partial evaluation. PE is typically done by a "binding time analysis"; comptime declarations are explicit binding time declarations.

You can also see Zig as a three stage language (comptime+compile time+runtime), where most compiled languages are two stage languages (compile time+runtime). There's a lot of overlap here.
That's for sure true, and I'm also not sure if everything I want from a community is present elsewhere, at least all in one place. Anyway, it's hard to find a new community to live in when I'm still in college and don't yet have full time employment.
> It’s here now, and has a large and happy population.

Happy maybe, but large no.
3000 Euro just to rent a car? That doesn't sound very practical. In fact, I've rented in Europe and I don't remember ever paying any deposits like that. That'd definitely block any other operation on the card, I didn't have very high limits back then - I'd remember something like that.
> white goods are mid-century if not older

Unless I misunderstand the meaning of mid-century ('50-'70), sounds over-board, no? You're unnecessarily paying for a second-hand 10 year-old Energy Star fridge many times over in electricity costs. Inexpensive of an upgrade too, got mine for 100 CAD, as well as a perfectly functioning and clean kitchen stove (ballpark '05) for 50 CAD (tho for this I doubt electricity or gas consumption is an issue even if you go older).

You don't need antiques to avoid mic'ing up your kitchen.
Yeah. It's depressing when you fly 3,000 miles across America and hey, there's another shopping certain with an Applebees and a Target, exactly like the place you just left.

Perhaps you should reassess your messaging.

It seems to have become very en vogue over the past 5-10 years to just simply attack someone/thing that one doesn't like, as opposed to providing useful information and allowing people to make up their own mind, or putting the effort in to develop/provide an alternative.

Ultimately though, if your speech is being restricted, you have a government problem.
TRR won’t help if you deliberately half insert a plug and toss a penny in as suggested in this “challenge”. Also fwiw US residential power is 120/240V. Actual voltage can vary but should be within +/-5%.

I interpreted that comment in line with how I responded - by bringing a friendly sounding device into your home, you're putting your kid in the position of trusting it. Something something violent agreement talking past one another.
What's "big amount"? I've charged multiple thousands of dollars on my cards, many times. Of course, you need a high-limit card, but if you have a good credit score, no problem getting at least one card with 20K-30K limit - you could literally pay for a whole car with such a card, if the car dealership agreed to eat the processing fee (they probably won't). And AFAIR there are ways to check how much is left to the limit.
You seem to be missing my points as well. I also said the FDA is needed, but just that regulating "snake oil" is a slippery slope and not really viable in a lot of cases. Like if you try to regulate audiophiles you're going to end up in a downwards spiral of bureaucracy that will never end and will only cause damage and distract from things that would be actually worthwhile regulating.
> if people are worried that a person would fall for this challenge

The person who asked Alexa the question was 10 years old. That's why people are worried.
No?

In what world is that liberation?
That seems like an odd definition of intelligence - I'm sure you could find people who would fall for this due to a lack of understanding of electronics. We're already making an assumption here that a child might fall for this, and I'm sure we can agree children still qualify as intelligent, just at a diminished capacity and lacking knowledge of the world.
That's fair. Perhaps I jumped to assume this audience is very much tech literate but there are "AI" people out there all the same.
For your consideration a calculator.

According to it's methodology which seems reasonable a 4k display is "retina" at 26" at a typical 20" viewing distance. A 27" at 21.

I think a 27" is so near as good as to be indistinguishable despite being a reasonable upgrade in screen area.

I have something very similar to this.

I'd easily put it in the position of the bargain choice.
The reason the results are so poor in younger women, is that younger women have denser breasts. Mammograms work by picking up densities (which many times indicate a tumor. In younger women, the whole breast is dense and you really can't tell (especially with lower radiation doses).

MRI can work, but it is much more expensive, and finding the exact location of the abnormality on MRI can be trickier.
People don't call C high-level, but I also don't see people call it low-level even in a casual setting with newer programmers. Instead I see it called a system-level language.
They market it as self-driving and I think average non-tech people equate that with some form of AI.
"Of course requiring a validated telephone number as part of identity is a substantial compromise on privacy and effectively eliminates identity compartmentalization ..."

That's what the "2FA mule" is for.

It's a stock android phone with no google account and no apps installed except for "SMS Forwarder"[1].

It is configured to forward all SMS to an email address via encrypted SMTP. This means that I can receive these 2FA codes anywhere I have Internet access - such as an airplane or newly arrived in a foreign country where my SIM card does not work.

The "2FA Mule" itself is plugged in at my office in a corner.

I'm not employing this for anything sensitive but it's interesting to consider that I can use SMS based 2FA while divorcing it from my day to day SIM identity ...

Hmm, doesn't Rob Pike now work at Google, which has developed the Chrome browser, which in addition to being a successor to Netscape (mentioned in the article) is basically a complete OS and runtime environment, as well as the literal ChromeOS, Android, Fuchsia, and Kubernetes, as well as Dart, and Go (and also adopted Kotlin for Android?) Not to mention software systems for special-purpose hardware like tensorflow, quantum, etc..

Which of those are research projects and which are commercial products/projects (or both perhaps?) is left as an exercise for the reader.
I think that i understand the argument, but things changed with the advent of microservices. Suddenly everything turned into a distributed system, and it is hard to cope without some understanding of the subject matter. This lecture series by Martin Kleppman has helped me quite a bit here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEAMfLPZZhE&list=PLeKd45zvjc... Also see his book 'Designing Data-Intensive Applications', which is more focused on discussing practical systems.
