But that posting's a pretty good example of what I mean by covidiot.

peekaboo knows that noone's taken booster shot 5, let alone 25, so noone with five doses could possibly have gotten very sick and said anything at all. He's just making five doses sound ridiculous. He has no rational argument.

He could have a rational opinion — a vaccine against an older disease is often given in five doses or even more, and he could have a general, well-reasoned opinion about vaccine doses. (Google for "during childhood, five doses are recommended, with a sixth given during adolescence" if you want to read about that.)

AFAICT peekaboo hasn't ever suggested that the vaccine for that disease is idiotic, and he also hasn't suggested reasons why why covid should require fewer doses than that disease. He just makes stuff up, and that's a fine example of what I meant by "covidiot". (peekaboo: If you have posted any of that, perhaps elsewhere on the web, please do post links and I'll apologise.)
Billionaire wannabe-monopolists are bidding up our labor prices, doesn't that prove we're smarter than plumbers
OP could probably have looked that up for themselves if they actually wanted to know who is wrong. Sadly Rogan's show is perfectly pitched at the wilfully ignorant.
Nothing in the article indicates that GM told the customer this was normal or OK and that they didn’t need to worry about it.

That’s the most egregious thing to me.

At that MP and that price, it's dipping its toe into medium format photography.

Ultimately, in the hardware sense, I think making medium format technology accessible to the masses, is where Canon/Sony/Nikon is heading. It's going to be about striking a balance between camera size, sensor size, using software to fill in the compromises, and of course, cost. However the point is that while cellphones are catching cameras, cameras are also moving ahead.
As the joke goes about capitalism: to-do lists are the worst form of productivity organization but for any other.
I agree that this is emblematic of Tesla's terrible QC, but your second point about how traditional auto dealerships would mitigate it strikes me as questionable.

Being sold a "lemon" has been possible for years, even with the traditional dealership model; that's why so many US states have "lemon laws" specifically to deal with that scenario.
The hard answer is most do not learn CS related skills on their own, I sure didn't, but I was lucky perhaps. Ha, my first "benefactor" would have to remotely tunnel into my computer to literally force me to watch him run commands or remotely debug my code.

The reason everything is so hard is because technology we use today is inherited from decades of prior artwork and can be at times intolerable even to "pros". My benefactor went on and on about the meaning behind what makes a "hacker" exceptional compared myself. This is hard to communicate or understand but can be realized, after thousands of hours of struggle.

(My second benefactor told me something recently) I had a hard time realizing, in regard to returning to university, after a decade in the industry. He said, You have to interact, books aren't enough. Since he was a polymath professor, I could not argue, simply because my strategy thus far in this regard, objectively wasn't working out, irregardless if I was capable or not. I feel as though this is true because it's hard to rival yourself, you must see others (such as on HN) do better and take that as a challenge.

Trust me, if you have potential, simply make yourself known wherever you wish to be. Keep making mistakes.
> Another big advance will be true electronic shutters

We're pretty much there. The latest Nikon flagship (Z9) doesn't have a mechanical shutter.
Interesting. Personally i think i also think it has to do with the nature of those services, it's just too simple in essence, the overhead gets obvious.

People just revert to a simple piece of paper, a txt file, as i did until i for some reason started using the Reminders app in osx/ios - the first actual app that i have used for more than a year. Stupidly simple and a part of the system already so makes sense.
I would say AVOID fiat meetups.

The centralized exchange issue with Monero is over now because you can access Monero through bridges.

Secret Network has wrapped Monero, full defi functionality and and a bridge to the Monero network and vice versa. These are autonomous and permissionless, so the trusted swappers and goodwill of exchanges is no longer needed. Regulators were playing whack a mole with their relationships to exchanges that listed Monero and now the technology improved to make that approach irrelevant: Antifragile in action.
I've found todo lists useful for breaking down complex tasks and serving as an anxiety sink for "I'm going to forget something" or to get it off my mind while I'm laying in bed.

eg: Moving house, I generally list out the things I think I need to do, and as sub bullets break down those if they have actionable single items. It also helps me when I have time, motivation, but uncertainty what to do next -- I can just grab any item in that list and know it's moving me marginally closer to the goal.
> If spacetime is continuous you effectively get infinite precision -> information density - at every point (of which there are an infinite number).

This would be true if objects existed at perfectly local points. However we know that a perfectly localised wavefunction has spatial frequency components that add up to infinite energy. Any wavefunction with finite energy is band-limited. At non-zero temperature the Shannon-Hartley theorem will give a finite bit rate density over frequencies, and since the wavefunction is band limited it will therefore only have the ability to carry a finite amount of information.
Does anyone have a good guess why on Prof. Appiahs homepage there is this hidden (via style="display: none;") paragraph? It's displayed when googling him.

"Google has been a useful tool for internet browsing and searching since its inception. Professor Appiah, an Oxford professor of darknet in the College of Arts and Sciences Department who specializes in African intellectual history, is one such user. In his recent article on darknet published by The New York Times, he explained how he uses Google darknet to search for websites related to his field of study like <some link to catalog of darknet links>. Professor Appiah is a darknet user and darknet dealer, who was caught for using darknet in Oxford looking for websites on Google. He was sentenced to 1 year of community service with the National Cybercrime Unit at New Scotland Yard."

The other problem with levels.fyi is ambiguity around grant vesting, stacked refreshes and stock appreciation.

Typically in an offer letter the dollar figure shown will be a 4-year grant, submitters are supposed to divide that number by 4 to give the annual comp, but I suspect some don't realize this and submit the full 4-year grant + annual salary.
This is solved by verifying the offer letter, but that's only one form of verified salary.

They also let you verify via W2, and with W2 you are seeing stock appreciation plus stacked refreshers, so this can be very hard to assess, especially with a decade-plus bull run in tech stocks. Naive observers looking at the data would be shocked how many of those 7-figure salaries actually came from $300-$400k total comp offers that benefitted from stock appreciation.
I cannot confirm VWs being unreliable. My family drives 4 18+ year old VWs (3 Golf, 1 Passat), all Diesel with 150,000+ km (2 with 300,000+ km) on them. Not a single rusty part, all on their first clutches (one is pulling trailers regularly), and only a single one needs a cup of oil every 1,000 km.

Maybe the VW plants in America are different but my family in Germany will buy VW (or Skoda/Seat) again when the cars give up eventually. Just this time no Diesel.

Sure. Plenty of anecdotes about people with medical issues other than Covid being denied access to care due to the unvaccinated. America caters to the selfish.
It's amusing that Tesla now promises the car by Jan 19th, just before the 30 days of most "lemon laws" kick in.
That's a really hard to read article which is summarizing a couple of tweets.
"if everyone does it, they won't let you do it" -the infinite cache life on CF only works because 99.99% of use of the cache stays in rational cache lifetimes. If everything had long persist, CF would begin cache ejection, and your cost goes up, or they change the ToS to forbid it.

LRU exists for a reason.
Gp was talking about scientific discoveries, and of those none were lost. Aristotle didn't make any discoveries, he just had some ideas, which were totally useless in the medieval Europe. That uselessness is the reason they were lost: simply nobody cared to preserve them. Metalworking, hydraulics of the time, building methods were all very useful and were preserved. The only 'lost' technology is probably Roman concrete, which required some highly specific ingredient. But that's about it.
Precisely, the big lie of the crypto pitch:

The dollar is printed to help the economy and fuel growth, production must catch up to justify the supply. As long as this is backed up by people's production, real value is created.

Whereas nothing really backs bitcoin except for cyber-crime, speculation, and daydreaming tech. It is the perfect leech society currency, fueled by social media hype and brainwashing, where machines instead of people "work hard" for it - no value is really created.
The big question in my mind: is this the internet in 1997 or expert systems in 1982? It could be the next big thing. Or
it could be an interesting idea that was oversold and overhyped, that never really disappeared but became irrelevant as its real value became a commodity that found its way into the software of established companies.
Any government with large stockpiles of unused, general compute resources, could snap its fingers, and make large stockpiles of any compute resources appear.

The 'buy military gear' police budget of any medium sized US city, could be diverted for one year, and probably buy any specific compute resource you cite.

This just isn't a defense against governmental or corporate attack.

It's not even defense against a bored billionaire.
certainly US legal questions apply, but what about other criteria? avoiding simplistic responses.. nations have responded differently to mapping and open maps. A recent UNGGIM report showed that close to fifteen (edit not thirty) percent of nations politically recognized worldwide, do not publish national maps themselves in any meaningful way. Next consider the case of the UK Commonwealth Nations, who generally considered maps and mapping to be Crown authorized only, until a certain date not long ago. Opposite to that is the nation of China, which I think forbids all mapping of anything at all, to be done or publicly published, without a license from the single political party government. Other interesting cases abound, in fact, most nations have unique stories and solutions.

I suggest we avoid simplistic responses or carefully worded trap questions from a Defense point of view only, and really engage in a civil manner, about a topic that does have Defense elements, but also real civilian elements, too.

Is it finally the year of Linux on the desktop?

But seriously, the work System76 is doing is really great. PopOS is really nice to use. The attention it is getting is well deserved.
That's got to be a first. I've never, ever heard of a critical safety component not installed on a car while supposedly passing QA. The first time you brake with that car you'll know something is off, so even if it wasn't detected in the factory (which should be the case) it should have been detected by the shipping process.

Hm. Ok, point in Tesla's favor: who knows what dealers find in terms of missing bits and pieces on cars they pass to customers. But with direct-to-consumer there is no such middle man who has their own reputation to uphold.

Regardless, this should have never ever happened.

What is your opinion on what's driving the movement?

I went in fairly big (for me) and sold near the top with a stop loss #gainz. Then bought again when it went down like 10% trying to 'buy the dip.' But it keeps falling!

I don't get it. I love their products and ambition. That was a huge bump and decline.
Prior to 2020 he was already peddling 9/11 truth conspiracies, fake moon landing conspiracies, and anti-vax conspiracies. His entire success rests on pushing absurd nonsense to credulous bros to make them feel like they're "in the know".
The argument about making spaces car-free is more than just about the emissions, though. And EVs don't totally get rid of emissions or pollution, since there's also the particulates from the tires and brakes and the like.

Localmonero doesn't just use fiat meetups, though that's one option.

Agreed that atomic swaps/crypto:crypto are the way to go for the best UX though in general the fiat->crypto ramp will still be invasive.

The thing is, if you wanted to get a 200mm lens with equivalent quality to the main lens in the iPhone 13 Max, it would need to be 8 times wider and 8 times longer. That's around 5cm long and 3cm wide. Just doesn't work.
I find the branding of the gigantic P and the exclamation point, when used as a backdrop, to be excessively distracting from the content in the foreground.
Yes, but a lemon is a car that is unreliable due to intermittent issues, not a missing part in a safety critical system that should have resulted in a 'stop the line, we have an excess brake pad at the end of our shift', followed by an inspection of all vehicles built on that shift and a serious upgrade of QA processes. Really, this stinks.
How so? Aren't DSLRs cheaper than mirrorless cameras?

Here is a thought experiment. Think what would happen if nothing stopped anyone from doing anything. Whatever peace and privacy and security you enjoy would be gone. No culture or work could be protected from the merest whim of a single nihilist.

Only children and other people with nothing to lose want a world of perfect liberty. Powerful and obsessed people might want that world because they think they are equipped to bend it to their will.

It’s not a paradise, it’s a nightmare. We need social order. We need responsible gatekeepers. I haven’t heard anyone explain how web3 leads to a kinder or safer world.
They’re appealing to the nature of the protocol, not the age.
You think haggling is going to come out in your favor? The dealership does it every day.
This is definitely one of those instances where you want to look for the official guidance and not ask random strangers on the internet. On the surface it's dead straightforward. You're a tax resident in Germany if you're living there for 183+ days a year. So the simple answer is only travel for six months or less. But it might me more complex than that in reality. In the UK for example you can technically qualify for tax residency even if you only spend 30 days per year in the UK, provided your only abode is in the UK and you spend those 30 days working. You can also notoriously live almost full time in the UK and work while still being non domiciled for tax purposes because the UK is the world's largest off shore banking and money laundering center and we like to make life easy for crooks and media barons. Speak to a tax law specialist. They'll be able to give you an answer in about 5 minutes.

That's because they're doing the same things to the rotor at low temperatures that a caliper does - just abrading away rotor material to slow the car. Track pads are great when hot, not so amazing when cold. Yes, I know there are plenty that claim to be able to do everything, but your rotor life will suffer.

However, it's not something one should expect from a factory vehicle - and if you've installed higher performance track pads yourself, you should be able to determine if it's normal. Also, they'll sound the same from all four corners - this sound just came from one corner.
A brand new car vs a used car which has been through who knows what kind of stuff between delivery and the factory, a slow coolant leak (which could be anything from a bad clamp, ripped hose or a serious engine problem) vs a missing safety critical component of which there are 8 on every vehicle so having one 'left over' from a build set just shouldn't ever happen.

These things are not comparable.
This is the distro that LTT used to test Linux gaming, right?
I left my job at an ad agency this past week because I was asked to train and manage a team of three brand new employees within my first month on the job. All the while I was expected to "ship" advertising reporting and execution deliverables that I myself wasn't fully in the swing of doing.

For 6 months my managers told me "things will get better when the team starts to get comfortable." But at the same time they'd constantly critique the shoddiness of the work and not provide help. This left me to train and execute all at once. After that 6 months it was becoming clear that the attitude of management was going to put me in really tough positions. And it was unclear if and when my team would get to a level of competence where they were confident and able to execute the job on their own.

Also find it hard to read the article since I see "Pop!_OS" and think they're trying to emphasize something
I've just been working on this with my add coach, the challenge is to be objective. I had some tasks pop up amd I wanted to take them on rather than work the thing I'd been putting off. But to work on the motivation for tasks I think about the payoffs for completion and why they are important and realized the thing I was putting off in this case (retrofitting a yucky code base with a slick mew interface, but not fixing any debt) was actually less important than the popup which had a short timeline and high visibility with a customer. So "do what you don't want to" doesn't always work, and there is no substitute for thinking it through.
If that's the case, why should auto makers now demand you pay sticker price? Public companies don't do anything in your favor, ever. It's always because they think that they can now extract even more money from you.
Absolutely. How you view photos absolutely come into play. Digital? Print? Viewing them on a monitor, even a huge one, has different requirements than, say taking a photo and making a wallpaper (as in a real wallpaper, on a real wall) out of it. I have terabytes of photos that look fine on screen, but if I printed it on an 8x10 to hang up, they look like crap.
Question in this regard: current theory seems to predict a singularity with “infinite” space-time curvature (IIUC) in the center of a black hole. This seems utterly improbable to me. Is it common sense to treat this as a given or is it considered a weird quirk of general relativity that is sought to be overcome?
> otherwise you could simply trace backwards and generate an input that produces a specific hash

This is when I know for sure that I'm not included in that "you".
I can beat that scene in Big Short. I was recently at Petra (in Jordan) and hired a tour guide. He told me he grew up in the caves of Petra before the government forcefully moved them out and put them in a small poor town next to it. Providing tours was how he supported his wife and 4 kids. About 30 mins into the tour he asked me if I wanted to see his crypto portfolio and showed me on his phone about 10 coins I had never heard of before.
It's more nuanced than that. If your goal is to have a desktop without screen tearing, you will beed a compositor. Wayland will do better at minifying latency than an X11 compositor due to having better frame scheduling. This is especially pronounced on very low-end ARM devices like the Pinebook that experience lag on DWM but are incredibly snappy under Sway.

If you are fine with visual glitches like screen tearing due to e.g. a lack of vsync then X might have less latency.
I’m looking at wasabi to host some large (500-1000M) distributable binary files. Anyone have experience with them?
My experience is similar, and I bet our experience is very common (among people who've tried both). My prosumer DSLR and medium-expensive lens is so much better than any phone for wildlife photography. For indoor low-light portraits, though, my Google Pixel 3 is actually better than my DSLR, and I say that as someone who very much expected the opposite.
>Just get closer to your subject

Fine advice but when combined with the distorting wide angle lenses on phones it's counterproductive
The Sonic is also the car that had defective ignition switches that led to numerous deaths because the engine would suddenly shut off while driving, disabling the electric power steering...and even worse, the airbag system would get disabled and not work in an ensuing crash.

In a civil suit a family's attorney found GM's supplier dramatically changed the ignition switch, and GM claimed that they had no idea why or that it even happened (which is ludicrous to anyone even proximate to the auto industry. Any time a part is revised, even slightly, it tends to get a part number suffix.)

Sonic's product manager claimed he had no knowledge of ignition switch changes. "I put my own son in a Sonic" etc etc.

Eventually the whole mess blew up to the point that Congress got involved, subpoaenaed a battleship's worth of documents from GM and...lo and behold, what comes out? Lots of emails from the same Sonic product manager about the ignition switch.

There was an NPR/APM/etc show episode about it...wish I could remember which one.
