I have both the 920s and the Brio. The Brio’s image is sharper and more detailed but somehow the 920s’ image is more natural.

I was underwhelmed with the Brio but I eventually got used to it. It’s not the upgrade to the 920s I had imagined it to be but it’s good enough to keep.

And yes, I used Logitune to tune as much as I could. It was horrendous out of box.
Ian Betteridge (of Betteridge's Law fame) once described this to me as "Journalists pick up the phone": which is to say, if you're claiming to be committing journalism, you call (or message) everyone that you're talking about -- for comment, for their side of the story, to correct or challenge your facts.

It's pretty unpleasant and chastening a lot of the time, and you have to develop a hard skin for cold-calling and being blown off, or having people vent at you. But if you don't do it, you don't know all the angles, and you haven't finished your job.
Stressing that advanced hypersonics is venturing past nuclear MAD but building towards conventional MAD made feasible by proliferation of advanced rocketry as dual-use components become commoditized and US/west lose monopoly on space infra used for targetting/guidance. It's a new kind of mutual vunerability where strategic infra that underpins modern society i.e. semi fabs, server farms, energy nodes, captial ships docked for maintenance etc can be targetted by more and more players.

In terms of practicality, we were "stuck" with nuclear MAD because meter level surgical intercontinental strike capbility has so far been pipe dream. With nuclear MAD, we had stability-instability paradox, increase chance of low level conflicts against non nuclear states while nuclear states operated with relative impunity. Conventional MAD = even 3rd rate countries can potentially import a bunch of global strike ICBM platforms to threaten pain points of any would be attacker. Most countries can't sustain modern airforce let alone forward project carrier groups, but many countries can build some concrete tunnels to hide sufficient amount ICBM TELs to increase deterrence. It's not nuclear tier deterrance, but ability threaten some critical infra is better than current posture where most countries can't inflict pain more than a few hundred km outside their borders.

I don't know how things will change but my position is balance will have to shift once advanced rocketry proliferates because that's boat that everyone will want to rock simply because dual purpose conventional rocketry won't be subject to arms control. It's going to be about how states with advanced rocketry programs can control proliferation, i.e. US wants to seed Asia with IRBMs that can threaten PRC, and PRC starts exporting hypersonics to South America or other countries that can threaten US global assets.
The title is trying to imply that airbnbs outnumber apartments, but directly comparing airbnb listings with apartment listings doesn't really make sense. There's basically a one to one relationship between an airbnb listing and an apartment that's used for airbnb. On the other hand for every apartment listing there might be tens/hundreds of apartments being used as apartments (because an apartment that's occupied tends not to be listed). In a tight rental market, each apartment gets snatched up sooner, which exacerbates this. A far more honest representation would say how much housing units are in NY, and how much % of that are being used for short term rentals (eg. airbnb), but that gets you a mundane number (eg. 10%) rather than a shocking headline.
There are other things to look at such as how resilient their business model is, their price/ earning ratio, etc. But in general, I would say those tech companies that have huge price swings during the pandemic are most likely to going have some sort of layoff. They are the ones that most likely over-hired.

Microservices (The Reality) (2020)
For the case of some older Nikon models, like my D7000, it is not possible to get "Clean HDMI" from the stock firmware, but there are options to patch the firmware[1][2] to get this. I use this with an HDMI to USB dongle[5], a wired battery pack[4], the aforementioned D7000 and any of the lenses I already owned. I've found that 35mm is a bit too tight given the length of my desk where the camera is mounted[3], but 20mm-24mm is about what works well for me at the moment.

The biggest problem with my setup is that when I open OBS I need to disconnect and reconnect the dongle before OBS will pick it up. Until I figured out how to repeatably get that working it was... more trouble than it was worth. I need OBS because the version of the patched firmware I'm running produces a non standard aspect ratio that I adjust for in OBS, at the cost of a more involved setup and extra CPU utilization. If I used the patched firmware that removes the fixes that (I haven't tried it yet), I would likely forego OBS for meetings.

I "got" Twitter in 2007, which is why I stopped using it in 2007. Whenever I click a link to something someone has posted in Twitter, and I see what I view as a useful or insightful tweet, I momentarily think "maybe Twitter isn't so bad after all," then I scroll down to the replies, and see the other 99.9% of what Twitter is, and close the tab.
Exciting! This wouldn't help with problems like lead in the water, would it?
If I tell someone something in IRC (or any chatroom or forum) they will almost certainly see it an likely respond. On Twitter, it will likely be completely and utterly ignored if its at anyone with a remotely high follower count. Most people don't enjoy the feeling of being ignored.

Interesting to see this article on today of all days.

A few days ago I started posting videos of myself doing ad-hoc translations of erotic Afghan song lyrics and poetry. [1]

I love the idea that I am able to share a glimpse of this (in my opinion, beautiful) primarily oral poetry that most people would rarely be able to experience just because of a) how niche it is, b) the language barrier, and c) the lack of general interest in translating it (since oral poetry is generally considered less "prestigious" or worthy of study and translation than written traditions).

At the same time, I am grateful that all of this effort that is being put into training "robots" to write X is largely limited to English, and doubly grateful that in my previous life before tech I invested a significant number of years into learning various different languages.

The part of my mind that enjoys reading dystopian cyberpunk fiction thinks that before long there will be a point of no return where lesser-spoken languages become the last refuge in which we can avoid "robot-generated content", and monolingual English speakers are either permanently trapped in loops of robot-generated rage-bait or expend extreme amounts of mental energy trying to discern and filter human content from robot-generated content.

Congratulations on the launch! Any and all competition in this space is welcome. We've been hoping that something open-source would take off since the pricing for Teleport/StrongDM is a bit out of our league.

With that in mind, can you comment on your strategy for exposing arbitrary infrastructure (i.e. non-kubernetes-native services)? We've been watching Hashicorp Boundary for some time and it seems like they have the right architectural approach.. but the DX is not quite there and the pace of development is slow. It seems like Infra's approach is similar (install an agent on the target infrastructure which communicates with a central API), but it's unclear if this can be used across clusters, vpcs, cloud providers or to connect to non-kubernetes infrastructure.

A few other questions to distinguish it from Boundary:

1. What can infra do to get an organization closer to meeting SOC2 compliance?

2. Is there a plan for a desktop UI?

3. What sort of timeline are we looking at for the custom IdP integration (e.g. Azure OIDC)

> First, this is what America being a free country means. It means you have the absolute right and freedom to build your own cage if you choose to.

It also means we have the freedom to demand better treatment from our employers. I've never understood this attitude that we don't have a say in our workplaces and must always resort to leaving if we can't get what we want, even though companies bend over backwards trying to convince us that we do.

Clearly communicating to the business what our expectations are is important to getting what we want. We're seeing this play out in real-time during the pandemic.
The future cash flow of any given bond stays the same. But from an asset allocators point of view the cost of the future cash flow from a band decreased, making it a more attractive investment.
While this is a nice project for emergency and remote uses, what we really need re: desalination in places like California (and other variable / dry climates) is large-scale desalination tied to opportunity power (such as curtailed grid power).

With each passing year there's going to be more and more solar on the grid, and it's going to be hard to soak up that power during the daytime peak. Desalination matches the solar supply curve perfectly: there's more water demand during the day, and there's also more water demand during the summer when there's also more sun. It's the ultimate dispatchable load.

I buy the part where humans are good at making decisions in complex environments.

Article seems to use AR as shorthand for a suite of technologies/products which basically rewrite the moment to the moment experience of a person to eliminate all friction.

I think AR is necessary but not sufficient, and the article doesn't really make that case clearly imo.

example from the article: squint at a something and get information. So we have object recognition, gesture recognition, information retrival, etc. AR is just the presentation layer, no? Isn't the most interesting part of the problem how the machine would know what question I was asking at all about the something?

Suppose I'm watching a pickup basketball game in person. What should this system show me? A score hud, in game stats, real time velocities, predicitive player trails? What? AR isn't the interesting part of the annotation problem.

another example superhuman recall. You run into someone you have met before. It's easy to sleepwalk into the use case of names, birthdays, etc. That's just a rolodex. AR didn't do anything for that.

What about someone you've never met. Do you want to see a google search of them floating around? You want that for everyone else? You meet a man/woman at a bar and you see he/she has 5 profiles on different dating apps and a DUI conviction from 3 years ago. Or she sees your LinkedIn profile and she knows she makes 3x what you do?

AR is the wallpaper of a complex environment that AI algorithms will paint with vast ocean of data as direct transparent experience. You won't scan around and have perfect recall. You will simply be placed in a more complex environment designed by AI to extract information from you while simultaneously creating an addictive enhanced reality experience.

It'll start out as words "sex offender", but eventually it'll just be a miasma painted around those you should avoid. Those down for casual sex will see waypoint markers beckoning them towards a hookup within their radius and parameters.

The real-life application for an oxygen-rich mixture is a cutting torch, you really don't want that.

Also, maximum impulse means high exhaust velocity, that means exhaust gasses with low molecular mass. Oxygen wouldn't qualify.

Just my perspective, but I think diet soda certainly breaks a fast. I can see how it could potentially not affect ketosis, but as far as fasting goes, water & minerals are truly the way to go. I will also concede a true "water" fast makes the fast much harder, although I think that's part of the experience. It's not supposed to be easy.

> If you have an 8-bit-clean channel to the terminal, only a single character is required: the "upper escape" from the C1 control character set (0x80 to 0x9F).

I'd avoid using this. It conflicts badly with UTF-8's use of 0x80 through 0xBF as continuation characters.
This might've been the article that I read, which seems to disagree:

"The inconvenient truth is that our Navy has 12 carrier groups and all are now obsolete. The Chinese have developed an antiship ballistic missile (ASBM), the DF-21D, nicknamed the “carrier killer.” It has a range of 1,200 miles and can fly at speeds higher than Mach 5. During descent to the target, it can fly at Mach 10. That’s like launching one in Chicago and hitting the Statue of Liberty three minutes later.

We have no missile-defense systems that can counter the DF-21D. The Navy has a ballistic-missile-defense system, but the problem is it doesn’t work. Last year the Navy performed a test in which it tried to intercept two ASBMs. It couldn’t hit either one. This was a planned test—the Navy knew when the missiles were coming, from what direction and how many. Imagine a surprise attack on a carrier with 20 missiles incoming at the same time."

I once worked on a project in 6502 assembler where my turnaround time was about three seconds from build-to-run. It was absolutely magical.

Compare that to an environment I was in a few years back where I was lucky to get two builds a day. Sometimes went weeks without working code because people kept checking in busted stuff. I wound up quitting (for that, and other reasons).

It is amazing how companies will pay high salaries for engineers, and then refuse to buy them top of the line equipment, too. I remember fighting for SSDs, when the time savings alone would have paid for itself in a couple of days. Crazy.
I find the macbook pro onboard mic to be superior to every headphone mic and every group room mic I have tested and I have tested many. If you have one and you are using headpones made for music do everyone a favor and set your defaults so that it always uses the mac's mic. With many Bluetooth heaphones you also get vastly better sound quality in your ears if the mic is not in use.
I'd suggest filing this under forbidden knowledge, 0x9b is 0b10011011, making it a UTF-8 continuation byte.

As someone who's changed careers from dev into management, I can tell you that flow state is not something that is unique to developers. Almost everyone needs it to be the most productive they can be. Even managers. _Nobody_ seems to give a shit about it.

Your options are to think nobody understand you and everyone is working against you, or to take ownership and defend your time accordingly. Which is incredibly easy to say and very difficult to achieve.

I worked at a place once that had one day a week where meetings were banned. Across the entire company. I've since realized that it wasn't the "no meetings" aspect that was the value, it was the co-ordinated scheduling of time for deep work. The biggest challenge I have today with defending my time is co-ordinating it with other people. At a sufficient scale everyone has a different block of time you're trying to defend, and when you're trying to get 4 people together to have a synchronous chat it almost inevitably clashes with someone's block. Having a mandated "everyone has at least one very long deep work block every Thursday" was a powerful way to preserve _at least_ one large period of focus each week. You're still free to schedule others too.

I've taught a lot of people programming, and frequently work with novices. Functional concepts are nearly universally a sticking point for learners. For loops haven't caused any more trouble than the other basic concepts in my experience. It's an order of magnitude more difficult for learners.

It wasn't a regular occurrence, managers didn't really abuse it. The one time I saw it happen directly, the people were invited back to take their old job under the new manager, who now had to backfill the positions, without an interview.

> So you are for peaceful/voluntary online segregation of people who don't share your values. Does this translate to the real world?

Of course it does. It's called having friends.

If you're having a conversation in a restaurant, and a stranger at another table overhears you and decides to interrupt with their contrary opinion, do you "owe" them an argument, or do you tell them to mind their own business and go away?

And then will the interrupter whine, "A restaurant is a public place! If you wanted to have a private conversation, you should have had dinner at home."

There's almost no situation IRL where you're arguing with strangers. That only happens online.

i think the varied way of how people using it speak volumes of the strength and weakness of the platform, it's not the same tool to all people and that's fine.

It's still got a little bit of that internet magic which is direct access to unfiltered opinion from domain experts from the early 90s. I remember being able to email authors of books I'd read instead of snail mail that got me very excited.
If there's a competitive advantage to not allowing your employees much freedom, then it may be impossible to find alternatives that actually survive and thrive. A race to the bottom in everything but profit. I don't think just using the word 'freedom' here is terribly compelling for that reason if the market is converging on hostile-to-worker practices.
