I think it’s pretty straightforward. Imagine the fourier transforms of some recognizeable audio signals. Maybe a symphony and a traffic jam. They’ll look totally different, even to the naked eye. If you chop off the low frequency components, you can still probably tell which fourier spectrum is which. But now do the same thing in time domain (high-pass filter the audio). It probably won’t be clear that you’re listening to a symphony anymore.
The most accurate way, of course, is to perform the task and then record how long it took.

Ideally, you'd then go back in time to before you did the thing and write down your estimate, and then decide whether or not to do the thing now, but that step is hard sometimes.
I'd give the iPhone 13 Mini a weak-recommend for small phone lovers coming from Android. It is truly the only option for small phones. (Well, small-ish. I actually find it a bit larger than I'd like, but it's acceptable.) But, iOS is a really significant downgrade from Android. It's usable, I've lived with mine for months, but I'm really hoping I can switch back to Android in the future. I've even considered just reselling the iPhone at a loss so I can switch back sooner, but it's hard because there are also no good Android options, so I haven't... yet.
Plenty of room, but no women's rights to speak of and a lot of other unlivable factors involved.

Presently there's no way to make a game on a smart contract chain without cryptocurrencies, unfortunately.

My take on cryptocurrencies is that they should all be put in the trash bin and burned to the ground.

So if you're really into it for some reason I'd suggest just going with a hashed-linked list or Merkle Tree you host privately on a raspberry pi and avoid public chains/smart contracts all together if that's something that interests you.
Ditto. I'm currently using an old Nikon D5100 with a generic HMDI->USB input stick ($15), a generic USB-->battery adaptor ($35) and a custom firmware (to remove borders and menus) from https://nikonhacker.com/

> In fact we know that each dollar the government spends usually generates income somewhere else down the line.

That's kind of a non-sequitor; downstream income has nothing to do with the cost of the good. Somebody could quadruple the price of steel, but people down the line will still make income.

Student loans is a great example here. Government comes in, gives everyone financing, and the price of college just so happens to rise to the level of financing the government will offer.

I don't see a way this ends well. If they offer it to everyone, housing prices simply factor that in. If they only offer it to the very poor, it just collapses two existing housing brackets into one (the very poor can spend like they're only kind of poor, making very poor cease to exist as a category and lumping the existing "very poor" housing into the "kind of poor" category).

We need more housing or lower demand. That's the solution. Anything else is just shuffling around hardships.

My son started playing chess with me and got good enough that he can beat me. I told him to try lichess and he was beaten pretty badly for the first few games. I told him that if he loses enough his ELO will drop and he'll be playing people at his level.

He deliberately lost 30 or so games, found his level, and raised his level and he's above the ELO he started at.
I just signed up for his mailing list and put this down for my comments:

I really want a microSD slot. Shared with the second SIM is OK, but please don't exclude it entirely. And/or more internal storage.

I'm on a Pixel 2 and am generally satisfied with the size of that phone, but I could live with smaller. My biggest problems are that 1) google screwed me with a non-unlockable bootloader when I sent it in for repair, so the software is slowly rotting and 2) I keep running out of storage. Other than that, the phone is basically fine.

From the reviews I've read, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 likes to draw way too much power and then thermally throttle - so probably not a great choice for a small phone (with both a smaller battery and less surface area to dissipate heat.) But, this phone probably won't ship this year, so maybe they'll have something better out by the time it does.

I wouldn't put "Hole punch front camera" on my "desired" list, but eh, it's not a dealbreaker for me either. I'd rather have a little bit of top and bottom bezel with decent front-firing speakers, and then stick the camera in the top bezel. Kind of like the current Xperias, only shorter.

Headphone jack would also be nice to have, but also not a dealbreaker for me.

Oh, and video output over USB-C would be another nice to have. I think it comes built-in with most recent Snapdragons, but Google seems to go out of their way to disable the feature...
So you're simultaneously saying that

1. the Swastika symbol has been around a long time, been used by many cultures and countries, is basically universally recognized

2. but when the Nazis used it, it's not Swastika, because they called it something different, so there's no way to know if they were influenced by the identical symbol that everyone already knew about
CVPR Workshop on Automonous Driving Keynote – Andrej Karpathy, Tesla (2021)
Protip: if your goal is to use your smartphone as a webcam, check out this: https://vdo.ninja

Written by some guy named Steve, it’s an incredible piece of web software that uses WebRTC to stream phone audio and video as an OBS input. OBS then features a virtual webcam capability to take that stream and make it a webcam. I can then also use OBS to do whatever processing I want, e.g. making my webcam also contain a screen share or whatever else.

It’s trivial to then load up multiple instances for multi-angle scenes in OBS, then cut between the two. For example, you could have one ‘face’ camera and one ‘page’ camera showing paper on your desk and make a 2nd scene with the ‘page’ camera as the primary and a small PIP view of your face.

It goes much farther than just being an input for OBS, though. For example, it can create video chatrooms of multiple participants with URL parameter configuration and without touching OBS (indeed that’s now one of its primary use cases).

I use it to stream applications/webpages with my partner when we’re apart so we can watch a movie together by creating a high res vid/stereo audio input with no noise cancelling as the movie, then have her and I connect as lower quality, mono+noise cancelling participants. Each of us receives the video and audio of the movie, but only the audio of each other.

There’s heaps of parameters to control video and audio quality, buffering, etc. - just about anything you need.

I stumbled across it when I was trying to get my iPhone to be a webcam early on in the pandemic. There’s multiple apps for that purpose - many paid - but this was so easy and worked so well that it blew them out of the water from a capability perspective.

I know I sound like a shill but honestly I’m just a huge fanboy. It’s one of those web apps that does a job really bloody well, with heaps of flexibility and extensibility. I’m genuinely impressed with it and all the hard work Steve’s clearly put in.

The docs explain a lot of its capability: https://docs.vdo.ninja/

Flick through the how it works and use cases pages, they’ll explain it far better than me.

Anyone new that immediately shits on a codebase is a huge red flag.

I have seen 1500 method in an app I was rewriting. The dev no longer worked for us. It was badly written, I told the management it wasn't optimal and there were some issues with it but I said I don't know under what constraints the dev was working. I simply wasn't there when it was written and have no idea if it was incompetence or some other factors.

The point is anyone who thinks certain way is BAD and needs to be immediately improved while barely knowing the code base is a bit incompetent. I honestly would wait weeks to start bringing up some issues I may see in the code base or sql. I would learn the team dynamics first and try to see if there is any other reason for those things.
I tried LSD and it made me severely suicidal. I had to take up a religion to not kill myself. On the dysthymia front, I’ve had it constantly since age 9 and am now 27. It’s not something I expect to change. Most people who have dysthymia learn coping mechanisms rather than trying to actually cure it. Major Depression on the other hand (which in my case would be a double depression) is more severe and more treatable

Dysthymia is already “lightly depressed”. LSD made me majorly feel unfit for this reality. And yes the set and setting were great both times, I’m just very unlucky
I made the same half-serious joke about Gitlab since it came out: they do not understand visual contrast, and a github user coming to gitlab is instantly both overwhelmed by how much info is in their face and how blended everything is in the issue tracker (everything is white-backgrounded, no way to discern important info). Fix this and you will get people over.
You could do something like this:

• Pre-publish, for each time batch, a public key. You could publish lists of these well in advance.

• Let everyone submit, alongside each order, a number arbitrarily selected by them. It does not matter how they select the number, but it would be simpler if everyone chose distinct numbers.

• When order processing is done, do it by the order of closeness of the submitted number to the private key. Publish the private key after order submission is closed.

• Everybody can now verify that the order of processing is indeed by the order of the previously secret private key, and everybody can verify that the private key corresponds to the previously published private key.

As if BIOS is any more open than UEFI is. At least UEFI had an open reference implementation since the beginning. BIOS had to be reverse engineered from IBM's implementation AFAIR.
Besides, two wrongs don't make one right. BIOS was a clutch from the beginning (it was probably appropriate for the time tho) and we should strive for better. We should keep functional systems working of course (e-waste is a real problem), but we shouldn't keep using it for the new stuff because we see the past with rose tinted glasses.
Rather than push for the past we should push for the future, for having all boards ship Coreboot and have that support upstream instead. That's how you achieve openness, not by sticking to _proprietary blobs_ of an outdated interface.

> The Swastika has been around for a long time, the Hakenkreuz may or may not be inspired by it

Adolf Hitler literally explains his use of the symbol, and its origins, in Mein Kampf. There is no "may or may not", unless you are somehow trying to argue that Adolf Hitler is not an authoritative primary source on Nazism.

> the Nazis not once used the term Swastika

I don't know if this is true (and I'm disinclined to take this claim at face value), but even if it is, it's besides the point. The fact that the Nazis openly took a symbol from another source, admitted that they did so because of the connection to that other source, and then appropriated it for a different purpose is what's relevant, not the fact that they chose a German descriptor when talking about that symbol instead of using a loanword.

Not really. It's unclear if the time invested in documenting the design is worth it yet. I haven't decided if it would be useful. For now, I recommend looking at OpenFlexure or Flexiscope (there's one other one that's good but I forget the name).

The idea is fairly simple. It's a basic construction kit for simple microscopes (just LED, lens, objective, tube, and camera, all mounted to an aluminum extrusion post using 3D printed parts). Then some inexpensive XYZ stages to move the sample holder holder around for large FOV and focus stacking.

Everything else is just cobbled-together from python, but see MicroManager for a tool that can drive an open source microscope.
Do these still exist? I remember running into one of them around 2005, but I haven't heard of any since -- it's been a long time since "give away hosting and run ads against the content" was a viable business model.

It's not a mistranslation.

The symbol is the same symbol.

One is just "what the Nazis called that symbol".

The other is "what everyone else calls that symbol".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

Also translation is not an exact science where the most literal translation like "hooked cross" wins. It's much more often about conveying the meaning to the audience (who all correctly call that symbol a swastika).

Pretty easy to understand if you have the context. They're probably using Github Enterprise (GHE). GHE may not run on their proprietary hardware. When things fail, they can't fix it because they don't have access to the source. When there is an update, they need to review the patches to make sure that stuff will work on their hardware.

Simply put, the open source is a beneficial thing for Arm here.
>> "Milo Goes To College" by The Descendants, a more well-known pop punk band, was removed as well. Randomly, without warning.

Politically incorrect music tends to get sent down the memory hole.
Because the way most ARM SoCs work is this:

* Vendor integrates a bunch of IP (Cortex, codecs, GPU), tapes out SoC design.

* Vendor has challenges hiring or retaining excellent software engineering team, because VLSI and hardware are the core competencies that make money, not software.

* Vendor's struggling software engineering team hacks copy-pasted code together until they can produce a board support package against a single Linux kernel version, with no care to upstream. Once the device boots in a single configuration, they ship it.

* Vendor's also struggling documentation team attempt to use sketchy descriptions from engineers to produce documentation. Often, internal interfaces are ignored or not documented since "it works" - only the external interfaces needed to make the chip run are documented.

Now, an OEM buys the SoC and BSP. Sometimes they do some extra work to get the BSP to work with a newer kernel, and sometimes they don't. And if they do, they hack on top of the hacks, so the divergence increases and now there are multiple devicetree versions floating around (as happened with this Rock64 board).

Citation needed? A lot of people love to jump to the conclusion that nobody wants small phones. My personal experience does not align with that conclusion. I'm happy to accept this conclusion if you have some kind of evidence for it, but the linked article just discusses battery life, which was greatly improved in the iPhone 13 Mini anyway.
And it's worth pointing out that large companies are constantly posting disclosures, sometimes as frequently as daily. Here's one example (Google): https://sec.report/Ticker/GOOG

How can you say that it works as money, if (e.g) when Tesla announced they were accepting BTC for payments, but they would not return the same amount of BTC if a return request was made and the price of BTC changed since the payment?

> Tether should have USD equivalent reserves

Should, but they don't. At least since 2019 they already dropped all pretenses of having USD to back all USDT they minted. With the bull run started in 2020, they've used it as justification for all their wild minting with the price of the BTC. Whenever the price of BTC started to go down, they would "miraculously" mint a bunch of USDT and use to buy more BTC - in a clear attempt of market manipulation.

You are saying you don't care if they go bust, but you should at least be honest with yourself and be open to the possibility that all the market for crypto is built on a lie. The upcoming crash will be entirely on them.
Hours ago you called the court of the land "corrupt hyper-partisan" and now you believe there's no evidence of corruption in the vastness of the regulatory agencies?

Spare me the hypocrisy.
Agree 100% - This is why I eventually dropped it. I used to run a photography side gig, so I reused my full frame DSLR, nice portrait lens and lighting + cloth backdrop. But I had cables everywhere and multiple points of failure in the chain. Camera could overheat, software was wonky, something would get unplugged, and there was stress on the CPU at times too due to 3rd party apps required.

Overall it just wasn't worth the effort, especially once I realized nobody cared or even really noticed. Now, absolutely, many projects are worth doing for their own sake and for your own satisfaction :). But while accomplishing it brought that satisfaction, continued use on daily bases just wasn't worth it.

So I looked for a nice webcam with narrowest possible FOV (which is the opposite from what manufacturers are going for, unfortunately), put it on a tripod with ring light, and I get results that are externally undistinguishable (if not better), but FAR superior reliability.

Note also that photographer in me wanted to do a Portrait shot with zoom in my face. Interestingly, overwhelming feedback once I actually asked real people, is that they PREFERRED a wide shot with my office visible. Made it more human and less stark/intimidating, apparently. So as ever, don't make assumptions of your user base! :)

I think the term "hard science" is squishy enough to where you both can argue in good faith, but have a different definition in-mind.

I agree that Econ doesn't quite have the hardness of say Physics, but insofar as you can characterize physics as the development of models that can meaningfully explain reality within reasonable error bounds and feasible energy usage, then Microeconomics sometimes does do this as well.
This is actually an issue I've got with the a6300 and the Sony 18-105mm f/4.0 G lens, because it's a zoom-by-wire lens and forgets the zoom setting after every restart.

> I did some analysis on a pretty large number of domains and found that Twitter had virtually no impact on traffic.

I tried an iPhone 6S for a year before I got this phone. Couldn't stand the size. The current SE is the same size as the 6S. I'm basically stuck at a dead-end of phone size.

The current SE is not compact by historical standards. I'm not saying all phones need to be smaller, I just want one decent option.
> DSLRs will almost certainly be a cheaper option than a mirrorless camera for this, because pretty much any DSLR from the last ten or so years works for this, and there are many more of them
