Propaganda is going to happen... better to have it exposed and countered than for it to fester as "truth" because it aligns with your political views.

Note: this is not an endorsement or counter to the opinion on Bari Weiss, not familiar enough to comment. Only that blacklisting people and ideas is often not the best solution. It can feel justified and be expedient, but will emphatically lead to worse outcomes for society.

In general, there's too many hard lines drawn politically, and I'd rather see a return to some level of discourse, negotiation and compromise. IMO that's when the system is working at its' best. Not when anyone gets everything they want, but when opposing views work together to come up with solutions in compromise that lead to better.
We’re long overdue for a “pay for services you use” recoil now that our personal data can’t be easily sold to pay for them, and the pandemic forced a reckoning of revenue models.
I removed my clients from their standard service. I only ran my personal web site on the free tier. Because I supported them and liked their services I also hosted a number of others on their standard paid plan (probably 5 different clients). I pulled all of them so they lost what each of those were paying per month.
Turning off the alarms would be a great start (they already added that?). What I really want is shared tags though, i.e that my wife can search our house keys and not just me. They are our house keys and everything else is extremely integrated in iOS so it feels weird to not be able to share the AirTag.
You can switch the region then, it takes 3 seconds and persists across visits.
Vietnam is smaller than California with a larger population. That cell towers can be made to work is not really in dispute, it's the cost (both initial and ongoing) for reaching the increasingly sparse population areas (like Wyoming and Montana) or geographically hard-to-cover areas (like the Rocky Mountains) that make satellites more economically viable.
so black holes basically mix all the space dust together, condensate everything, let it sit like a dough, and then comes a fresh star? the life cycle of the universe!
However it's misguided. Cost of labor is still 10x higher than a plant with the same productivity in a relatively poorer country. American manufacturing is mostly indirect social welfare now, it's not economically efficient.
It's no weirder than wanting to tattle on Binance to people who demonstrably do not have my best interest at heart.

Cue is a very cool language, but it is quite different than the "typed config language" that I have described here. Maybe I picked a poor title but in the post I am talking about using the type information to "improve" parsing. IIUC Cue does not due this, it parses in a "dynamically typed" manor, then uses the type system to evaluate the turing complete (or close to it) expression language.

From what I've heard battery life is much worse on Linux than Windows. If you're willing to spend some time hacking around you can close the gap a bit, but it'll still be a gap.
How have your experiences with Kotlin JS been?

I've been considering it for similar type of desktop app development, but haven't dug deeper yet. Mainly because I already have some experience with Rust and have been considering options in this space before venturing elsewhere.
I hope you are right! But I am not in despair, I know why these things are happening, what structures and systems cause them (which is in part why I don't personally share your optimism). I think humanity falling from grace and prominence is just as beautiful as us keeping going. It's all just a blip of time in the universe, no need to think about it so selfishly or tragically. Humanity as we know it might just be a moral allegory about energy and language anyway.

Fun fact, Ohio was supposedly high on the Soviet nuke target list, because of Wright Patterson AFB, which houses the Air Force Research Lab (and aliens).

I have an old Soviet invasion map of central Ohio, marking all potential airfields etc.
99.9% of pirates can only nop ifs. The remaining percentage are the pros that either work on paid basis or go after high-profile apps that give them visibility and status. A mildly well-protected battery indicator will remain intact for a very long time, simply because people who'd want to crack it, can't, and people who can crack it, won't.

PS. Having cracked versions floating around affects SEO ranking of the master website, it affects sales and overall perrception of the product and, as importantly, it also hits support with a lot of bogus bullshit from people that aren't even customers. So for every iota one may "save" by not adding protection, they would spend multiple iotas dealing with the consequences.

The relevant part of the video starts at 07m42s .

And, an explanation from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format#Table_of_s... :

> Sensor sizes are expressed in inches notation because at the time of the popularization of digital image sensors they were used to replace video camera tubes. The common 1" outside diameter circular video camera tubes have a rectangular photo sensitive area about 16 mm on the diagonal, so a digital sensor with a 16 mm diagonal size is a 1" video tube equivalent. The name of a 1" digital sensor should more accurately be read as "one inch video camera tube equivalent" sensor. Current digital image sensor size descriptors are the video camera tube equivalency size, not the actual size of the sensor. For example, a 1" sensor has a diagonal measurement of 16 mm.
Use Electron and leverage your web skills. Learn as much as you can about the architecture before you start. For example, an Electron app has two main processes: main and renderer. The main process is like your backend API and the renderer(s) are the browser windows. Once you get the hang of it, the world opens up and you can really start cranking out code/features by bending the entire architecture to the will of the developer... until it breaks, but then you get to fix it!
There is, on the other hand, a strong incentive to keep poor people from getting ID. If you don't have ID you can still mostly do the peasant work that is required for those in power to stay in power but you can't remove them from power by voting because those in power are increasingly linking the ability to vote with the ability to get documentation which they are continuously working to make it more difficult for poor people to get.

Reap all the benefits of the slaves doing their work, avoid any of the downsides of having to actually listen to their needs.
Not a breakthrough. This technique has been known about for at least two decades.

Most fNIRS uses the amplitude-based, continuous-wave modality to compare chromophore concentrations resulting from thermovascular coupling.

This uses time-domain based. What this means more formally is that it uses the impulse response created from a fast optical imaging source to then detect scattering changes in the cortex that ideally correspond to neuronal activation (or lack thereof).

I was actually working on a very similar device a few months ago. I had to give up as the chip shortage made the specialty ICs required to pull this off damn near impossible to buy.

There are a couple of things that make TD-NIRS a bit trickier. First off, it relies upon counting photons. This makes it susceptible to all sorts of noise, coupled with the fact that you need a photodetector with a very fast rise time and at least 10-20% detection of incident photons upon the detector.

Benefits
- Extremely fast (millisecond-range) neuronal activity detection
- Less susceptible to motion artifacts
- Very localized detection, scattering is well-modeled

Drawbacks
- Requires extremely fast sampling rate
- Above sampling rate makes multiplexing difficult
- Still susceptible to all kinds of noise
My favourite example is "fact" vs "factitious". The word "factitious" actually means bogus, make, made up. Whereas "fact" means quite the opposite. However they both come from the same latin word "facere" which means to do or to make.

Have fun digging into that one!

It's not a contract if you can't expect one of the parties to have read it.

Compiler developers do not need a contract with the users. No compiler team works with that impression. No compiler user expects one either.

But if you want to use it to justify some impractical behavior, well, both your justification is a complete fabrication, and justifying it is completely meaningless. It doesn't become practical because you have some sociological theory.
I disagree with one of this article's main points. I think a community can have startups that both scale up and scale deep.

The only thing wrong with scale up is the use of venture capital. You can scale up while bootstrapping. I know companies in both Lansing and Detroit that today would be viewed as anchor tenants of the tech entrepreneur community that never took a dime of VC money. All their employment is in the city they started in - so it can be done.
Lobbying the standard body to reduce the amount of UB in the C standard is a perfectly reasonable position. Requiring compilers to DWIM is not.

Is cost of labor really one of the major costs of a semiconductor plant? Plants in South Korea and Taiwan are economical and they have relatively high labor costs, so I'm not sure I buy this.

Oh that makes sense. I use mine 80% for toast and the remaining use is usually bread-adjacent things.

If I was also using it to heat up chicken tikka masala or something, then that would probably not be good.
> needed for very heavy indivisible parts (not sure if this is commons for fabs)

It is not common. Semiconductor equipment is generally designed to be sent via air freight and assembled on site.

Some of the supporting operations (water and air purification plants, on-site chemical production, LN2 production, etc) may require some large parts but that's a case-by-case basis and probably avoidable.

The satellite streaks affect a limited number of pixels. The optics are not perfect, so a bright object can smear light over all the pixels of the sensor (noise floor).

Do you have any facts to show that the streaks raise the noise floor significantly (say more than 10%)?

I would guess from your lack of hard information that you are just suggesting it could potentially be a problem.

Edit: for a quick and dirty calculation, I estimated the pixels on a horizontal line in the image in the article, ignoring the galaxy, and the streak is not significant compared with the light from the stars. I presume because the satellites move fast across a slow time-lapse image capture, your hypothetical problem is not actually significant.
If you are going to have to break backward compatibility anyway, of course you are going to use that as a chance to change other things, fix some things that weren't broken but weren't great either, try for some nice to haves while you are at it.

Especially if you were predicting a migration across any compatibility break would take decades or more (or potentially forever live side-by-side), there's very pragmatic reason "rip the bandaid off" and to change everything all at once rather than make a series of far more painful "smaller" migrations that would each individually take nearly as long.
Yes, Especially for a solo founder, Rails is an effective and powerful choice. It scales from "Hello World" to IPO and allows you to do 10x the work while focusing on your users rather than boilerplate and plumbing. Its also trusted by some of the biggest tech platforms such as GitHub and Shopify.

The creator of rails recently wrote a great article on how Rails is the perfect choice for solo founders here:

I also recently wrote a short article about how enjoyable it is to work in Ruby and Rails here:

> in fact because of UB in C many forms of optimization are impossible in C because of aliasing uncertainty.

This doesn't seem right? Specific types of aliasing make optimization more difficult/impossible because they are specifically not UB. Rust's aliasing optimizations can (theoretically?) occur specifically because same-type aliasing is UB in Rust. I'm not sure how "UB prevents optimization" falls out of that?
If that's the point, why does nobody ever say to keep the original?

If the counterparty needs it, why don't they request you sign two copies and send them one? The idea that they would later want it for forensic evidence that you really did sign it seems odd: if it's in their benefit and you wanted it to not exist, and you're the one possessing that original copy... you can make it not exist.

High battery drain during standby on Linux can be due to the system not entering the proper sleep state. I had this happen to me on an AMD machine lately, in that case disabling secure boot solved the issue.

> the vast majority of hardware

3080 is definitely not the vast majority of hardware.

The vast majority of hardware is:

- older

- a lot of Laptop integrated graphics

- a lot of less expensive graphic cards

Like, I just went and took a look at the price of a 3080 in Germany, no joke it's 1.500€+ on Amazone and Ebay. That is 50%+ more then most people can/want to afford to spend for there whole computer!

In the steam survey it has 1.16% usage, and as a game related Survey it's already biased in it's favor as all the "simple office work only" systems won't even show up there.

I wouldn't be surprised if for Zoom relevant usage it's more like 0.2% (as it includes many more "office focused" systems then gaming systems) or so. So kinda irrelevant?
How long before all these CSS tricks come together to make a easily abusable injection mechanism? I know the `url()` mechanism is already abusable, but what about a small VM executed via `var` and `calc`?

Sure but between the current situation and the outskirts of Wyoming and Montana there's plenty of low-hanging fruit.

For example, my neighborhood is 1.5 mi away from gigabit internet. Good luck with that last mile and a half so Starlink it is.

The study I'm linking here says it would cost $80B to fix the current situation. That's chump change. I am so fed up with the tiny minded thinking that is trapping America in an endless loop of failure. But watch trillions materialize instantly if we have to go to war with someone again.

I think this is due to a lot of money in the region coming from things like coal and natural gas. There's a _lot_ of money to be had for folks that just happen to own land that sits above valuable minerals.

I've only ever seen billboards for "clean coal" in SE Ohio, SW PA, and West Virginia.
Once you figure out how to open the thing (there are videos of how to do this online, it's not that hard to do it destructively, and once you know where to pry, pretty easy to do it without breaking any of the plastic that holds it closed), you can remove the speaker without even needing to break anything, it's just held in place with glue.

Looking at a 5 bedroom home and the prices seem just in line with Miami prices here in West Kendall (3000 sq feet). Where are you looking that feels like a cheat code?
This was my thought as well, chip production has to be so necessarily automated to maintain a clean state that it feels like the cost of engineers to maintain systems is always going to be high, but also a small cost of the overall system. I'd love some real numbers.
It's been a few years since I did any framing, so I could be wrong about the current state of the industry.
Please educate yourself: PoW cryptocurrency is a red queen's race that is deliberately inefficient. I can't think of any other technology that continuously and deliberately wastes more and more energy.

The Simplest Way to Sell More Electric Cars in America
I guess your university math class didn't cover Bayesian likelihood.
The issue there is that "being in country X" and "wanting to see the site in language Y" is going to be against some users' preferences. Examples:

- Canadians from Quebec may prefer the site in french (but use CAD as a currency and see Canada's taxes where relevant).

- Expats in Thailand very much prefer to use the site in English.

- I'm in Spain and my browser is setup to reflect my preferences (Catalan first, English if that's not available, Spanish last). I prefer English to Spanish because international companies either have a strong presence here (and will probably have Catalan as an option) or their Spanish translation will be worse than the original language in English which I understand better than low effort translations.

Frame.work is going for a locale selector but they don't even support all the official locales of the regions they already operate in (e.g.: they don't support fr_CA). Even if they did, there are always users that would prefer a "non-official" localization (en_TH, en_ES following my examples above).

In the end they would be much better off letting users pick the language, region and currency separately. It's less effort from their part and a better solution for the users.

In that case, flags for languages are bad and flags for regions are fine but can still rub against some users' feelings. Example: pro-independence Scots having to pick the UK flag. Is it really that terrible to have auto-complete and/or select fields for these 3 things?
