> There are ath9k wifi cards with open source firmware

I use these almost exclusively for laptops and routers, I keep ripping Intel wifi cards out of laptops and replacing them with ath9k cards.

Ever since I started doing so things "just work" - no more random disconnects, lockups, need-to-reboot-to-get-wifi-working-again etc.

Technology can be so nice if it's open.
>Our studies on young healthy men and women show that this upper environmental limit is even lower than the theorized 35 C. It’s more like a wet-bulb temperature of 31 C (88 F). That would equal 31 C at 100% humidity or 38 C (100 F) at 60% humidity.

Which nicely explains the extinction of humans in southern Europe, Middle East, Africa and many Asian countries, including many countries in South America and a good 2/3 of Australia. /s

Not at all, actually pretty much opposite. I think it is absolutely normal adult behaviour not to help people with their non-urgent problems unless it is a cause you deeply care about. And, it is more typical not to contribute to any kind of open source or free work kind of thing.
A while ago, some licenses started cropping up that tried to disallow certain use. E.g. the anti ICE license, anti-996 license and similar.

Bruce Perens wrote about this in late 2019[1][2], specifically focusing on the "hippocratic license", proponents of which IIRC at the time attempted to spark a debate if the Open Source definition needs to be changed, to allow discrimination like this.

I'm not sure if I would call it a trend, but I would say projects released under under "Ethical Licenses" (such as the Anti-Capitalist Software License (ACSL)[1] or the Do No Harm License[2]) might fit the "you may only use this product if you support/disavow $x" description.

I was under the impression that they still did some of their own software defined routing, maybe at lower bandwidths? That could be an out-dated view. I do know they also buy traditional equipment from the big vendors for high-bandwidth stuff. P4 is very cool.

I was trying to point out that high-end hardware should survive a couple of days despite a data centre losing its cooling. it is designed for exactly that situation.
Thank you. I read the full article but they are always just soo unnecessarily long. All the interesting bits could easily be condensed into 5 sentences.

It almost feels offensive, how it wasted my time without giving me equally valuable information in return.
If you consider Apples to be sub par. What’s your standard for decent?

I’ve never had any BT issues with Apple stuff. And most of the other things I own have terrible BT implementations. But maybe because I can’t tell how to check for a good implementation?
Is it exploitation that's the problem?

Or social isolation? People are very isolated these days. People can have good jobs, have lots of shallow acquittances but no true friends.
Maybe it’s out of spec, but my little cassette boombox with Bluetooth outperforms every other device I’ve used.

Instant pairing. Multiple devices. Unwavering signal.

Only the speakers and driver circuit let me down. It’s tinny and quiet, even at full volume with tone knob adjustments.

Still, it’s a sure thing as far as connection goes.

Thanks, good idea! I can see some cases where you don't necessarily want to play the same correct 3 moves – if you just want to test a bunch of other moves to get more information (yellow/greys). But there could be a button to automatically play the moves you've already gotten right.
IT has indirect pressures that often pushes people not to take time off. Unlike many professions, I'm often expected to basically 'catch up' to some degree with everything I've missed or am behind on after taking off.

Time off is more valuable to labor where the average unit of time to complete a desired amount of work is fairly small. For work that takes a lot of time to contribute too, you get no realized break, just a granted "delay" in deadlines.
Using a bluetooth audio dongle can significantly extends the range. My Bose would starts stuttering at ~4m range, but after using a bluetooth audio dongle, it basically cover the whole house now (>10m radius).

Let’s be clear the only reason for this war is Russia not Ukraine. No one else made the decision to invade except Russian.

The world would be a much worse place if Russia won, be happy that the Russians are getting routed by western weapons, it means that Russia is getting much weaker and poorer per day.

Let's see... 40 MW to cut a 1 meter bore.

If that's air cooled, and the air is heated by 100 C, then that's ~500 cubic meters of air per second to carry away that heat. Looks like we're drilling a supersonic wind tunnel here.

I wouldn't be surprised about this when it comes to panic disorder. Just knowing you have some emergency fast acting anti anxiety medication nearby, just in case you need it, can reduce the number of panic attacks. There's probably all kinds of psychological feedback loops when people have anxiety about anxiety and then it escalates because they're anxious about it escalating. I am guessing that medication can help mitigate some components of that feedback loop for some people.
Sadly, apple started a 3.5mm free future and others were happy to jump on that horrible wagon (as well as soapbar sexy designs which you cannot hold without a case, but that's another lovable rant :).

> Instead of hard-deleting a structured record for Bob Smith, can you leave the record intact and scrub it of identifying data so that I don't e.g. break all of the records for orders that Bob Smith made?

The various laws (GPDR, and similar ones in my jurisdiction) abuse the hell out of vague descriptions like "personal identifying data".

For example, scrubbing a customer record of all names, phone numbers, contact info, etc and leaving only the ID in the record still makes it possible to personally identify the person by:

1. Looking through the orders records to build up a profile depending on what they order,

2. Then using the delivery records from the courier company to get an address,

3. Then using existing public information to repopulate all the fields in the customer record.

In any given business, no matter how big or small, simply removing all references to a customers personal information will still leave the customer personally identifiable. This process can even be automated.
> Are these "planet is heating" people going around telling people not to have idle appliances plugged in? Not to use bigger cars if not necessary? If BMW was using websockets in one of their huge SUVs would you not help them?

Any PoW system that is currently running right now to process, mine and settle a transaction on-chain is indeed 'burning the planet' which I agree. The thing is, not all systems are like PoW and it doesn't apply to all cryptocurrencies and Proof of Stake (PoS), hashgraphs, and mostly byzantine fault tolerant consensus algorithms are not burning up the planet. There are alternatives that are useable today.

Unlike the deep learning systems continuously training their surveillance data every day that have just burned up a data centre yesterday. The tech bros don't want to hear that but will target crypto because it threatens their day to day business, especially with the author as highlighted by some commenters and even some ferocious anti-crypto supporters like the CTO of Adjoint, a private blockchain startup. [0]

They also lack any reasoning other than 'all crypto should die in a fire' which isn't going to happen. So at best, this is indeed a very childish and an extreme position to take.

"You don't pay for what you don't use" does not mean "the compiler doesn't generate worse code than if you had written the same by hand".

These 2 things are C++ core principle, but they are 2 different things.

"You don't pay for what you don't use" means that I you do not use a C++ feature, your runtime performance won't be affected by this feature. For example, non virtual functions are not slower because virtual functions exist.

In our case here, if you do not use "std::unordered_map" and decide to implement your own unordered map, then it is as-if "std::unordered_map" never existed. You are not forced to use "std::unordered_map" and you own map won't be slower because it exists.

"the compiler doesn't generate worse code than if you had written the same by hand", or rather "What you do use, you couldn’t hand code any better", means that if you decided to implement a C++ feature by hand in C++ or C, your implementation could only hope to match C++ implementation. For instance calling a virtual function in C++ will never be slower than a similar handwritten late dispatch implementation.
Because it's arbitrary.

You just think it's a honorable thing to do because you probably also happen to support that (unrelated / political) message. But imagine a situation where you wouldn't...

Any high power 2.4ghz transmitter will destroy Bluetooth communication, this is all in the same 2.45ghz ISM band. I guess they use some devices communicating on that band.
It needs to be 1mm for the n64 cartridge edge connector.
The biggest relevation I had with bluetooth was seeing an actual pairing sequence and data transmission on an RF spectrum analyser.

It really is low-power. Once you realize it is a rat's fart above the noise floor you have a whole new appreciation for the fact that it even works in the first place.
Not immediately, no, but there's no forward secrecy, so unless users take extensive steps to obfuscate their activities, as soon as they make one transaction with a counterparty who knows who they are (such as an exchange with KYC) they are at risk of de-anonymisation.
I find physical hardware a useful abstraction.

Integration is only a matter of 1/4” TS cables, DIN MIDI and 120v AC.

Or to put it another way, the QY gear is mostly software. Dedicated hardware gives it devoted user interface.

The UI doesn’t have to try to be like the UI of my mixer or my effects boxes because it is not purely visual.

The UI doesn’t have to compete with my mixer for space in my visual field because they both live in three dimensional space.

But those are my reasons.
Completely wrong.

1. Nobody is talking about $16, but living wage payment that are not paid to workers.
2. It's millionaires and billionaires who increases the inflation, not workers.

Time to change the format. It's understandable you don't want to spend your whole career preparing for these long matches all the time. For the challenger it's 6 months of preparing, but for Carlsen it would've been his 6th time of preparing for this in a few years.

They have also become less entertaining. 12 matches is long (edit, 14 now), but no one dares to take any risks. Caruana was just defensive and all games ended in a draw. Karjakin they both at least won each their game, but still had to go to rapid tie-breaks. And against Nepo it was a steamroll, understandably meeting him again isn't that exciting.

It's also almost impossible for a new person to get a chance. Even Carlsen didn't like the format and didn't participate in the Candidates for a few years, and when he first did he almost didn't win it to be allowed to play the WC match. Even though he clearly was the best player at the time.

I wonder how this will affect the status of the title, when it's in practice is now a title-fight between the second best players.

Also what will happen to the hype in Norway? Each WC match has so far been live streamed on all big news pages, biggest TV channels etc. It will still be a Christmas tradition to watch the rapid WC tournament I guess, but I'm afraid this will lead to less coverage. But just to tell how big Carlsen is in Norway: This is the top news on all outlets at the moment.

How to think about task estimation

Interesting! I think there's a tangible difference between "you may only use this product if you support/disavow $x" (as in, some public statement of views is a prerequisite to being allowed to use something) and "you may only use this product if you do not cause harm in some tangible sense".

While I'm not necessarily saying I agree with either, the first is certainly less reasonable than the second (and the two examples linked are of the second kind).
Exactly. As I tell my son, the news organizations are no different than other vendors. They have a product to sell (fear, societal divide) and do their very best to continue selling it to the masses. And, astonishingly, people eat it up day and night.

For the people who live outside the US and consume our "news", it must seem our country is falling apart. From gun violence, to wildfires, to racism, to homelessness, we truly must be living in a 3rd world country. However, my experience does not reflect any of this. Yes, these issues exist, but everyday I can go to the grocery store, put gas in my wife's car, walk downtown, take a trip to the lake, visit a neighboring town, etc - all without fear. People of differing backgrounds/colors talk pleasantly with each other, neighbors help neighbors, etc. Totally different from what the "media" is pushing these days.

My advice - walk/run away from the media and don't attach yourself to any political party. Your emotional state will thank you later.

FTA: For now, Sony is sticking to games. It plans to put GT Sophy in a future version of Gran Turismo. “We’d like this to become part of the product,” says Peter Stone, executive director of Sony AI America. “Sony’s an entertainment company, and we want this to make the game more entertaining.”

Also FTA: “You don’t want to do that because you’ll make a mistake. It’s like a controlled crash,” she says. “I could maybe do that one in a hundred times.”*

I don’t see how a computer racer that destroys human competition would make the game more entertaining, I guess there’s work to do there to not make the AI reliably pull of highly risky moves.

On construction sites, I'd suspect that the problem is an awful lot of EM noise from machinery that should have been replaced or at least maintained decades ago, like mechanic spark generators/distributors from simple combustion motors or brushed electric motors (e.g. in drills).

Additionally, remote controls for cranes, concrete pumps and other machinery may be the cause, depending on the frequency bands these use. Here in Germany, it's all 433/869 MHz from what I remember from sites I worked at, but no idea about the US.
People absolutely should. The best way to understand how something works is to build it.

GAR2022 – UN warns biospheres are at risk of collapse
I find that my Apple Macbooks (I have a couple) tend to try to pair with my headphones more "aggressively" than any other device, even when my Macbook has its lid closed and in my backpack, it immediately jumps in and pairs with things that I'm trying to pair with something else (my phone usually). Very annoying
This is my biggest issue. I use my AirPods to connect to my two laptops, tv, Bose portable speaker, iPad, and iPhone and sometimes have to spend several minutes disabling devices to actually connect to the device I want.

Worse, when I’m connected to one device like a laptop but I get a call that I want to answer on my iPhone, it’s nearly impossible to actually transfer or reconnect the AirPods to the iPhone.

I tried to get two pairs of AirPods to resolve this and keep one connected/dedicated to my iPhone, but even that doesn’t work because once you’re logged in with your Apple ID it will keep re-syncing to your other Bluetooth devices. It’s insanity.
