No, really, it can't. Feed it a checkerboard input and you'll get gray on the way out. It's horizontally processed at a lower resolution internally. Might be 960x1080 at 30FPS, and it can't do it at 60FPS at all. Yes, you're going to get 1920x1080 JPEG bitstreams out the USB end, but it's not actually 1920x1080.

I suspect this happens because it doesn't actually have enough internal RAM to buffer a full 1080p frame (this chip uses on-die RAM, so probably SRAM since they wouldn't go for a fancy EDRAM process, and SRAM is expensive by capacity).
I still have such a merc, complete with the button and message in question. I think that implementation is actually not so bad, since you could just purchase the BT module and install it yourself [0], without having to mess with the infotainment system or the steering wheel, which also has phone buttons that behave the same.

Whereas here, if the multi-zone AC system is actually not physically present, it may be somewhat more involved to upgrade on your own.

[0] It's a Bluetooth module supposed to go in a compartment in the arm-rest. There's already a connector present. But since I don't care to use my phone in my car I never purchased the module, so I don't know if the full wiring is in place and if the radio would use it without fuss.
> Jeffrey Sachs, a political science professor at Acadia University who often writes about free speech on campus, offered a similar opinion in a Twitter thread. He noted that the suit hinged on two actions: the libelous fliers distributed by staff and the Student Senate resolution.

> “It’s the second action that really worries me. Basically, the court held that since Oberlin authorizes the student senate, subsidizes it, provides a supervisor, and allows it to post its documents on school property, it is legally responsible for the student senate’s speech,” Sachs tweeted.

> While Sachs notes the dean erred in handing out the fliers, “the senate resolution issue feels much more complicated and nothing to celebrate.” The ruling, he suggests, implies that colleges must scrutinize the speech they provide a platform for and “have a legal duty to censor.”

Isn't the solution to clarify that the student senate is not an official body of the college and that its views do not represent the college's views? Require a disclaimer at the bottom of every student senate email, ask the senate to find its own funding, and the college ought to be in a much more defensible position legally. And as a side effect, a student senate which is financially and organizationally independent of the college will be a much better venue for real student free speech.

Yes, in the same way that institutional investing and society is one big "DudeRank" filter. It doesn't mean that there's no structure, it means that you're not looking at the right place.

The difference between a layman investing and a skilled top 10% VC investing is that the latter already stands in very strong position of human and social capital networks, and moreover (if they're actually skilled) has experience materializing that capital into strong 0-1 outcomes. Or being really good at survivor's bias.
Thank you for your informative reply! These are such good reads
We should expect Twitter’s read-only ratio to be smaller because of the low friction of just tweeting. But is there another platform or medium where the creator-to-passive consumer ratio is significantly better? I’d assume blogging was much more read than done, back in the day.

(public broadcast platforms, I mean — presumably e-mail has more parity in participation between consumers and creators)
I'm definitely not surprised. The global consensus seems to be that, if the user gets the real choice, then the vast majority of users (more than 80%) will refuse the cookie. If it gets standardized in browser, then most companies will lose their precious data.
Stop beating this dead horse.

Musk made his comments in context of social networks. In a digitizing world where all conversation is centered into a handful of platforms, those platforms become the free speech carrier, no matter who owns them.

Yes, you're technically correct, but it's irrelevant from a pragmatic point of view. A legal definition of free speech is worthless if said free speech cannot be expressed in the places where most speech happens.
> Most people do not use Twitter at all.

Read-only is still using it.

> It's not a "speech" platform for the masses as no actual speech happens by the masses themselves.

The masses are willingly choosing to use the app in this way. If anything, many people are afraid to post because of cancel culture.

> It's not surprising that the masses don't post. You can't express yourself on Twitter due to the character limit

Contrary to what you might think, you don’t need long-form text to express yourself. Most people don’t care enough about you and prefer a TL/DR

This depends on how you use the app.

Of course you do.
This library is used heavily inside Tensorflow. It is “production ready”.

I think you have the wrong interpretation. Harmful narratives forming is not the failure here, that is an old "problem" with free speech. [0]

The problem Twitter emphasizes is that free speech and anonymity do not work at scale. Pre-internet, speech always had a degree of accountability because you know who's saying what. Now, you don't know if you're engaging with with an ad team, a bot-net, a trained cohort in another country, or just your dumb neighbor's political views.

The reasonable netizen has to assume the majority of what you see online is manipulated and fake. We can't fairly say the worst parts of twitter are purely a failure of free speech.

That being said, its an age old battle which system is better: one that is free, open, optional, and sometimes gets it wrong or one that is closed, managed, unavoidable, and can't be reviewed when it does get it wrong.

> In most cities, the left lane is not designated as a faster lane, unless on a highway. Most accidents occur in cities and not highways. Putting this in the list seems silly.

In most US cities, most of the driving is done on highways. The typical driving pathway for a commuter in most major US cities is to drive on surface streets from their home to the nearest major highway artery (which is likely also an interstate highway, but may not be), merge onto the highway, and go on the highway (possibly changing highways) until they reach the correct exit for their destination.

So, yeah, most driving is actually done on highways, and this is where I'm most concerned with how others drive. It's also pretty much always at higher speeds than surface streets, so as other commenters are pointing out, the consequences are more severe when an accident does occur.

Being forced to overtake on the right because a driver obstinately refuses to get out of the left lane despite it being a passing lane and going below the speed of traffic is exactly the issue I'm pointing out, because overtaking on the right is more dangerous. Either /everyone/ slows and a conga line forms or everyone passes the slow driver on the right. The slow driver should not be in the left lane and in fact it's illegal and signs are posted on nearly every American highway that either says "Slower traffic keep right." or "Left lane for passing only." (depending on state/locality).

I always enjoy these statistics that assume a 50 year old SUV on bald tires has the exact same driving characteristics as a modern roadster on fresh summers. Turns out really the only difference between cars is aesthetics...
A decent tradeoff for that case is to use your phone as the "something you have," with backup codes stored somewhere reasonably secure.
I actually am glad of that - I think Elon is one of the less-bad billionaires. His views are stupid and most of his ideas are too, and billionaires shouldn't exist at all, but I am glad that he made his money building companies that are doing important things. Well, SpaceX and Tesla are - the Boring Company and Neuralink seem like boondoggles, to say nothing of Hyperloop.
I’ve been looking for something like this. My residential street is a short cut for drivers and we have people doing 40+ down it trying to skip the lights.

We (as a neighborhood) can petition the city to install traffic calming measures like speed bumps. But the city requires some form of traffic analysis to prove that more than a certain percent of drivers are speeding.

I don’t know if this app would be acceptable as a data source (e.g. if I mounted a phone to our mailbox somehow). But I was surprised by seemingly how few affordable traffic / speed measurement devices there were. Most cost thousands of dollars, or we could hire a consultant which would cost even more thousands of dollars.

Seems like a market opportunity, though maybe a niche one.
The reason I stay on Twitter is that I can find experts in niche fields to follow. For example, since the start of the invasion of Ukraine, I have followed a number of credentialed military and Russia experts, and have consequently a better understanding of current events there.
I'd be interested in what is inside the hood of my Belkin USB-C adapter (https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B08X5168HM/). It works flawlessly, with the only downside being that it forcibly removes 15 watts from the Power Delivery budget which is enough for my s/o's Acer Switch X notebook but not for my 2019 16-inch MBP.
Speaking for myself, out of the photos I take, I probably have maybe 10-20% that are "good". So I have a "favorites" folder containing sub-folders (related to the location/occassion/topic) to which I move the good ones. Since the percent of good ones isn't high, this isn't a lot of work and can be done gradually anytime I'm looking at "unreviewed" photos.

They don't have control over it. They sold the guy a car that has a button that does nothing, and they asked him if he wanted to buy the hardware to make the button work and he said no. The hardware isn't on the car. Even if the tri climate syncing hardware was present, it'd be silly for you to decline to purchase that option, go home, press the button, then drive it back to the dealer to demand a refund. Why would you buy it in the first place?

I can’t stress enough how this library is a saving grace. It would be incredibly difficult to port my python prototype code with numpy to C++ production without using Eigen.
Except at the obvious extremes the correlation between legal and safe or legal and "in good taste" is marginal at best.
It does seem harsh compared to my recent reality. But I remember my internet usage in the 1990s... going to a library and signing up for a 30-minute slot to use the internet... or later using the internet from home, but only for a few minutes at a time lest I block the telephone line too much...

While definitely a shift from what I do today, maybe going back to that style of internet usage would not, in fact, be so intolerable!

> It's really a very reasonable rule. Before you use somebody else's computer you have to ask for permission.

Your own example of a cryptominer shows how incorrect your idealized statement is: there is nothing to prevent websites from running cryptominers. Some do. It's not illegal.

This idea of consent is idealized & fluffy & sounds neat & compact, but every time we open a website we are letting sandboxed but fairly arbitrary code run, code that can talk to & connect to a huge amount of othrr systems (CORS permitting).

The flipside is that it's your browser, your useragent. You are free to write extensions or disable javascript or block images or block 3rd party traffic or whatever.

And that kind of brings me around to cookies & the EU mandate here. Im not sure why a human interface here splashed on each page is at all a good thing. This is the sort of approach to the problem I'd expect from people who have no grasp of technology no sense of what is possible. Earlier approaches like Do Not Track[1] provided a far more concise & less disruptive general alternative . Or perhaps we could say cookies need markup as to their purpose, create some categories, & such that we can build browsers that can execute our preferences more elegantly. We could have created a new web api that sites serving EU citizens had to implement, to better enable the browser.

The crime of ePrivacy is that it specifies a solution which must be entirely in-band to the page. The media has to advertise it's privacy capabilities, a user has to go through custom, ah-hoc, non-standard dialogs proprietary to each site. Mandating any kind of out-of-band / machine-to-machine interface here would have done so much to prevent this obnoxious trashy low-quality muck we are now mired in. It's cheap & distracting & clicking through to secure your rights is a pointless ritual. This solution sucks. I agree it's a good that's enabled, but this is a trashy mandate, and it's significantly increased the trashfire feel of the web. It was imminently avoidable, better was so close at hand, but the lawmakers didnt seem to have any real grasp or vision of what they were up to or would create.

> As for water, it's everywhere.

The vast majority of it is seawater, which humans can't drink because of its salt content. There's still enough freshwater in most places, but the regions where drinkable water scarcity is a problem are growing larger every year.

Desalination plants do exist, but it's up to 10x more expensive in most places (in California it's only about 2x more expensive because water is already pretty scarce there) and it's also not great for the environment either:

"The problem is that the desalination of water requires a lot of energy. Salt dissolves very easily in water, forming strong chemical bonds, and those bonds are difficult to break. Energy and the technology to desalinate water are both expensive, and this means that desalinating water can be pretty costly...It can cost from just under $1 to well over $2 to produce one cubic meter (264 gallons) of desalted water from the ocean...But switch the source to a river or an aquifer, and the cost of a cubic meter of water can plummet to 10 to 20 cents, and farmers often pay far less."

"There are environmental costs of desalination, as well. Sea life can get sucked into desalination plants, killing small ocean creatures like baby fish and plankton, upsetting the food chain. Also, there's the problem of what to do with the separated salt, which is left over as a very concentrated brine. Pumping this supersalty water back into the ocean can harm local aquatic life. Reducing these impacts is possible, but it adds to the costs.'"

Using it for years, and mostly happy with that library. The performance is awesome for very long vectors / large matrices.

It’s less than ideal for small things when the size is known at compile-time. If one knows SIMD intrinsics, in some of these cases the Eigen’s implementation can be outperformed by a large factor like 2-4. Also it’s very hard to mess with RAM layout of some things (like sparse matrices), just too many layers of abstraction and too much template metaprogramming.

But still, out of the box the usability of Eigen is awesome. And until the code is written, debugged, integrated and benchmarked, it’s generally impossible to tell whether a particular algorithm gonna be a performance bottleneck. That’s why I’m mostly happy with the library.
Sounds like classic intel: overselling and under performing.

TFA stated figures:

Intel: 135 TH/s @ 26 J/TH

Antminer: 198 TH/s @ 27.5 J/TH

Whatsminer: 112 TH/s @ 31 J/TH

This hardly seems very revolutionary and it's already "2nd generation" in 3 months.

When Intel first announced their entry into "mining hardware"; I felt that Bitcoin and Intel deserved each other. Intel hasn't got the big monopoly meat to slap down and dominate this market with; and when they lack that they often get embarrassed and spread a lot of low grade sausage everywhere.
If you think wars don't spur technological changes, I suggest you look at the planes of 1940 vs those of 1945. Inventions in WW2 avaiation include radar and the jet engine. It's planes that ultimately ended the U-boat clockade of the Atlantic as improved technology increased the range of anti-submarine bombers such that the US could cover the entire Atlantic leaving the U-boats nowhere to hide.

Regardless of why you get to supercritical conditions, once you have them, that's plenty of reason to care about what supercriticality does in industry.

You want high pressures to achieve a high efficiency of a process (gas turbine, rocket, Diesel), then it's more of a side effect that the pressure is supercritical - I think that's what you allude to.

However, you may also want your fuel jet to mix more efficiently, so absence of phase equilibrium with surface tension may be advantageous.

You may also want a working fluid in a power cycle where expansion through a turbine does not end in subcritical spray that destroys your turbine blades.

You may also want to have a heat exchanger that does not have a 'boiling crisis', i.e. a subcritical vapor film that drastically reduces your heat flux when you exceed a certain limit temperature: think about it, the situation when your system gets unnaturally hot, and you really want to get rid of the heat, is when the heat transfer collapses. Now, there are subtleties about whether or where this can still happen at supercritical conditions, but let's just say for high enough pressures, a distinct phase transition no longer occurs (somewhere beyond 3 to 10 times the fluid critical pressure).
How much wealth do you think would be redistributed if governments confiscated all the assets you think are held be billionaires?

There just isn’t that much wealth to be expropriated. It wouldn’t go very far.

So no, I don’t think you’ll get broad agreement that confiscating wealth from the very rich is even numerically a viable strategy.

Not to mention the fact that historically expropriation isn’t exactly associated with the generation of social welfare.

Now, as it happens, I’m in favor of higher progressive taxes!

But we can’t pretend we can create a social welfare state just by picking on billionaires. The middle class would need to be taxed generously for that to pencil out.

Of course, I'm whole heartedly with you in that matter, I don't think many people here would be against such cause. I wish people in underdeveloped countries earned at least as much as I do. I just would like to see that "many options" you talk about. Typically people who claim that "someone should do something about this" are just publicly grouching and I just don't like that. Either give some substantial way to achieve your goal, or don't comment. You are adding noise to noise/signal ratio.
I wonder if other drivers will be using this app to report people they encounter while driving? How do you even account for that while calculating speeds? More importantly, how many accidents will this cause?

I keep multiple password manager "vaults" (with Keepass) for multiple services. All of them have long passwords. Every morning, I will recall the passwords in my head to make sure I remember them, and on a schedule I'll log into the rarely used vaults just to ensure that access is working properly. The same goes for the passwords that I keep in memory as well (for email etc. where I may need to use a public computer in a emergency without my password manager or personal device available), bank PIN, important phone numbers, and so on.

The idea is to recall the passwords so often (many times daily to start, then daily when it's stuck in your mind) so that you can do it in any circumstance while under stress. Of course this doesn't excuse the need for a secure backup of those crucial passwords somewhere, but at least the chance of forgetting them is next to none.
