You might break even on running costs, but when do you break even on the outlay?

I guess you get some back if you sell it, and you probably never actually laid out for it as such rather than though some mad financial chicanery because simply paying for stuff is decidedly plebian.
I mean, it's a little tacky, but holy hell, I don't get why hackernews seems so up in arms about everything Mozilla tries to do.

> A) ... There are plenty of students in the goldilocks zone of being from families to poor to afford a meal plan but too wealthy to qualify for free meals from their college

As I understand it, public and private 4-year universities in the US usually include meal plans in the financial aid package. Colleges may even force students to purchase (expensive) meal plans to make them profitable.

You may get stuck with oppressive student loans and mediocre, overpriced food, but you shouldn't starve.

You're not entirely wrong about COVID though - it disrupted food services and made it harder for students to get meals. You see students with meal plans resorting to food hoarding and even theft, which they rationalize based on the cost of the meal plan and lack of access.

I would like to remind everyone about Adobe Flash.

It was one of the first mass-audience "no-code" platforms. It democratized web apps and games, allowing people who had no engineering background to build whatever they wanted.

But did it? They would build what they wanted. And then, to their dismay, it performed like shit.

Often, they would release their shit-performing product anyway. If you're an engineer, and you looked at what they did, you'd realize they made some mistakes - but they didn't know that. And they released their shit.

And then millions of people would use their product/game/app/whatever they made (which performed like shit) and they would say to themselves:

"Flash is a piece of shit".

Adobe (and the Flash brand) never really recovered from this. They eventually stopped supporting it. This is personally a big problem for me, because I have some games that were written using Adobe's platforms (Clicker Heroes and others). But you live and learn.

I believe this will be repeated, forever, for any/every no-code programming environment that ever gets popular. Inexperienced people will make great things that piss off a lot of users and they will blame the platform.
That seems like a pretty reasonable summary of January 6th to me. Maybe summaries like that are fine?
I read a paper a long time ago that recorded the brain waves from one person doing a skilled task and then played that recording to an unskilled person as they performed the same task. They replayed the electromagnetic field of the skilled person on the outside of the skull of an unskilled person.

They found that there was an improvement in skill levels in the untrained person. Intriguing.
> What does it mean to be one?

That it will eventually get killed.

That it will probably last longer. Open-sourcing helps here too obviously.

I just don't think the tradeoff is worth it. The Pockit will have a relatively small community, and you may be forced to use their software packages to develop for it. It may not be very robust or very versatile. Those are all real downsides, in addition to the higher cost.
My understanding is that it happens enough that lawyers worry enough about it and therefore chase these things down constantly.

Over the years I have received cease-and desists from nice lawyers for Virgin Atlantic, The Coke-Cola Company (I had a Chrome extension called "Facebook Classic" that restored the reverse-chronological feed when FB started moving away from that), and an unofficial polite pre-lawyer request from The New York Times.

I don't think they'll have SPARC by 2025 but the physics work out. It's basically a bog-standard tokamak with superconducting magnets but with much more current capacity and therefore magnetic field strength from newer HTS. It's the fabrication of the magnets at scale that's totally new engineering and manufacturing; as we saw with Tesla that's quite hard. Plus the supply chains of HTS tapes aren't exactly mature.

I think both Tokamak and CFS have roughly the same strategy of using bigger magnetic fields. Given the scalings here https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2017.043... + JET working well it's a lot less risk than whatever most others are doing. Make a JET sized tokamak but have 5x the magnetic field strength gives a 625x gain in power, ideally.

I think Russia has been consistently dealt a bad hand when it comes to leadership.

When you're dealt a bad hand, it's your responsibility as citizens to do something about it.

That's the part that Russians don't seem to get. As the video describes, it's as if they they enjoy suffering and oppression. Nothing wrong with that, I guess... whatever floats your boat, no kink-shaming here. But don't expect it to catch on elsewhere.

I don't think "wordle" was a popular name for the game before it got popular on the internet, so a trademark makes sense in this case.

Of course Wordle is just Lingo but online. And Lingo is just televised Mastermind with letters instead of colours. Mastermind is an extension of Bulls and Cows and if you go back further I'm sure you can find another game like it.

There are some very big broadcasting companies that have put a lot of money into the "guess the word" genre and the New York Times probably know that they can't take down every game with similar rules.

The best they can do is find infringement of their trademark and pursue those who infringe upon it, or risk losing the trademark all together. They could also license the trademark, of course, but a blanket cease and desist letter is cheaper than negotiating a contract.

I have the dubious distinction of having burned down three acres of Stanford's Lake Lagunita with a Li Po battery after crashing a drone (this was a soft pack for a DIY drone). We had been meticulous about charging and handling safety, but they still light off like fireworks if punctured.

1) Up until very recently we were making the more advanced semiconductors and it was one of our larger exports.

2) Most of the advanced/intricate manufacturing is done in Taiwan. China is slowly improving but it's mostly just labor, machinery, and supply chains.

3) Between Trump and Covid a lot of domestic manufacturing was brought back online (steel was a big one.)
Thanks for the link - turns out i was, thankfully, wrong. In romania they’ve also been monitoring the drone for about 3 minutes - 23.23 - 23.36 EET on the 10th of march. It then left its airspace for Hungary. The ministry of defence claims that due to a low altitude, weather and landscape they couldnt perform more accurate identification. At least thats what i am reading in romanian language media.
The context here is that this is a private company who have hit an important milestone. They have managed to raise capital, hire people and build a plausible foundation for a viable reactor without billions in government subsidies and done it in a little over ten years. They are claiming grid-connected reactors will be online by 2030.

Politicians as a general rule like to remain in power. You are confused about this?

Ukrainian conscription doesn't seem out of place. During WWII, Great Britain enforced full conscription on all male British subjects between 18 and 41 who were present on those islands (with exceptions). And the Germans never made it past the Channel Islands. Had they reached Dover, you seem to believe Churchill wouldn't have conscripted anyone able to handle a weapon??

Living in China doesn't absolve you from holding what is absolutely a racist/xenophobic line of thinking. I don't say you are xenophobic, but your utterances absolutely are.

This is not some attempt on my part to gain any kind of moral superiority but to speak out against what is clearly a baseless insinuation, associating a Pixar film made by a Chinese Canadian director with the CCP when there is no clear link.

The manuscripts weren't in Greece. These works were written centuries ago, many of them before the rise of the roman empire. As books were expensive back then, they would often be found in wealthy cities like Rome, Alexandria or Constantinople and often taken as spoils after conquests. The fall of the Western Roman empire additionally meant no one had time or resources to go collecting old dusty manuscripts, but the rising Arabic empires did. Later in the medieval period, notably after the crusades and moor conquest of spain, monks began (re)translating the arabic copies of these works, bringing them back west along with many other novel works, commentaries and inventions.

Because casting requires usage of Google API's and NewPipe is privacy oriented.

Many features existed in Vanced before YouTube pulled a bait and switch on users and put existing functionality such as background playback behind a paywall. Also, they explicitly refused to add support for things such as downloading videos, even though that also has perfectly valid non-piracy use cases.

(The YouTube Premium download feature is bad anyway because videos downloaded that way are artificially DRM-protected when the original streams are DRM-free can be downloaded using something like yt-dlp.)

Can someone please share the current state of deploying Pytorch models to productions? TensorFlow has TF serving which is excellent and scalable. Last I checked there wasn't a PyTorch equivalent.
I'm curious how these charts look for companies that are serving ML in production, not just research. Research is biased towards flexibility and ease of use, not necessarily scalability or having a production ecosystem.
I agree with what your saying, but that’s doesn’t mean the end result is even close to an economically viable fusion reactor. Look back in 1990 people could have spend a lot of money building a truly monumental reactor and hitting Q>100 briefly. Nobody suggested that was a good idea because all the other unsolved problems which is why ITER was being built in the first place. The point wasn’t simply to scale it was to test blanket materials etc in an environment very close to a working reactor.

SPARK is undoubtedly a more efficient design but it’s not a solution for any of the major outstanding problems.
> No one wants to just hang out and talk without discussing jobs and salaries. People from different classes and jobs and lifestyles rarely mix . I do regret moving to the US from a social and friends perspective.

Interesting. I just ask my friends to hang out and they say yes, with no specific activity in mind. They're also all I vastly different jobs and classes. Maybe it's just a case of YMMV.
I do NOT recommend going to a bootcamp if you have little experience with coding. The bootcamp sweet spot is helping someone who knows how to code to get up to speed with being an entry level professional developer.

Bootcamps are incentivized to send their best candidates out to interview for the best jobs, and if you're trying to learn the very basics of javascript at the same time you're trying to learn the latest framework it is going to be very hard to be at the top of the class.

I recommend doing some self study at home through an online class, then after you feel like you both enjoy programming and have a good handle on the basics, to then try a bootcamp.
In the end, it's not like the devs made any money off of this. If they weren't already in a Russia-like country, then it's not exactly reasonable to relocate for your side project you offer for free.
Web browsers hadn't been invented yet so the Internet in 1988 was mainly used at research universities and commercial labs. Definitely not a consumer product, but well on its way to being an important thing.
