>used for as long as I remember

Not in the US. Your memory doesn't trump facts.

Here's [1] a 1980s report on it.

Here's [2] the Jul 31, 2002 Nevada Daily Mail newspaper, stating the same thing: "The National Bureau of Economic Research, the recognized arbiter of when recession begin and end,....."

Here's [3] a 1983 news paper article explaining it again, same thing.

Here's [4] the NBER on the 1970s recession.

Here's [5] a modern Bloomberg article saying the same thing.

Here's [6] the current NBER page with the definition. Here's [7] the same page from 2020 (saved at internet archive). Same definition then.

Here [8] is the NBER definition from 1999, cached from their website as it was shown in 1999: "he NBER does not define a recession in terms of two consecutive quarters of decline in real GNP. Rather, a recession is a recurring period of decline in total output, income, employment, and trade, usually lasting from six months to a year, and marked by widespread contractions in many sectors of the economy."

Where did you learn your standard, and when did you learn it?

In fact, if you spend much time looking through old newspapers (the google link I gave you allows it) you can find that the NBER has been the arbiter for a long, long time.

Do you still not believe this is how it's been done a long time?

I don't understand what you mean by enormous costs. Yes, permanent moving is not exactly cheap, but it depends very much on the individual's life situation: age, social connections, home ownership, having a car, furniture all matters and all differs. Based on this one might move with a single backpack or it might take a few months to prepare.

Most companies are happy to pay your relocation costs and / or get you a place till you find one on your own.

You can also fly rather cheaply if you miss your family, so this reads very weird to me.
None of Intel's current problems are caused by a lack of money.
>why not just organize society to educate everyone

Because it was tried and it's a massive failure. The entire western education system is geared to help slowest learners at the expense of everyone else. It's actively harmful for those that are exceptional. Only those from rich families can escape it.

And that's only inside developed countries. The reality in rest of the world is much worse.

>nobody has a magical oracle

Yes, no perfect oracle exists, but it's enough to have something that's substantially better than random, like intelligence tests. A direct economic incentive would lead to development of more reliable predictors.

Fighting complacency is not easy.
I don’t think the IME had anything to do with it. The people who complain about it online in tech forums are a small but vocal minority.

Intel’s poor performance last quarter was mostly self-inflicted.
Thanks for the numbers! But do you have a source? x100 felt off, but I couldn't contradict it as I (still) don't know where to look for any references of any multiplier.
Yes, the definition is at the link I posted. I find it arbitrary.
Your post reminded me of the early Apple days. There's parallels there with robotics.
There isnt. K8 does start pods and services fast. Im able to launch an entire stateful WordPress pod (multi-container) in just ~10 seconds. Including the provisioning and attaching times of PVs from scratch. This is at Digitalocean. You can easily run stateful things like WP if you build your pods well and use PVCs - even without needing to make them stateful sets. It ends up being a neatly constructed, integral VM living on virtualization. Everything is taken care by K8.

When using K8, if you use the most basic K8 features and concepts, things generally work out pretty ok.
Cool, but this method will still get locks in whatever percent of cases, regardless of if there are slots not in transactions. In Postgres you can probably do this with slots using SKIP LOCKED; though in practice I belive you have to deal with the case where everything is locked, by falling back to waiting for a lock.

UPDATE counters
SET count = count + 1
WHERE name = ?
AND slot = (SELECT slot FROM counters FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED LIMIT 1) LIMIT 1
I always found phrases like “Food is better in X city than Y”, just silly.
The cloudformation job will more than likely dwarf the tsc overhead from cdk stuff being a mono package.
One little nit is the acceptable shutter speed for a given lens focal length depends _heavily_ on the camera and shutter type being used!

In the past, 1/focal length was perfect advice. You can adjust this down very quite far if you have a lens or body with image stabilization, typically down to as far as 1/30 or even lower.

Also bodies get higher resolution, the amount of blur you can see goes up as well as you start sampling higher frequency movements of the camera body. You probably need 1/2 x focal length above 24MP, unless you have stabilization.

There are also different types of shutters, for example a leaf shutter in the lens vs. a focal plane shutter. Focal plane shutters can inject some shutter shock at lower speeds, where as leaf shutters don't have this effect and can be handheld to much lower speeds, I have gotten very sharp shots as low as 1/8th.

Finally, if your camera has a mirror or not also effects this, as the mirror swing imparts vibration as well.

Knowing exactly how the camera reacts at different speeds will let you tweak this rule a lot!
I think the society is still adapting to the new available media. People point at problems teenagers have with social network but it must be considered that they much more immune to problems that affect adults related to social networks: biases and beliefs in fake news. So, we'll suffer a bit but I think we'll be fine in the time-span of one generation; that is 20 years, I think.
I’m guessing this will build off the existing EUV light sources and just scale up multi-patterning?

Why Fractals? Chaos Theory Is the Study of Dark Energy
A 3-page proposal explaining why fractals are ubiquitous in nature, and how that's related to how the universe expands.
I'm really interested in exploring some AI ideas related to emobidment. To that end, I needed a "body" to put an "AI" in. So I started out by gutting out an old boombox, and putting a Raspberry Pi, a USB powerbank, and a USB charger in there. I also built a power supply multiplexer board that can allow switching from the battery to the charger, and back, without causing the Pi to reboot. And that stage is pretty much where I am. Getting that multiplexer thing built proved more challenging that I expected, but that's a story for another day.

Next steps are to start adding sensors to allow the "AI" to experience the physical world. Plans include:

1. GPS module, so it can experience motion and sense its velocity and location in space, etc. The same board also happens to be a cellular data board that will allow the device to upload data to the cloud.

2. One or more accelerometers for more localized perception of motion / orientation in space.

3. One or more cameras for vision. Ideally two so it can do stereo vision and have depth perception, etc.

4. One or more microphones to receive audio.

5. Anything beyond that is getting into pretty speculative area, but I can imagine adding sensors for temperature, barometric pressure, and other environmental factors, and even get into "senses" that humans don't really have, like sensing IR, ultraviolet light, electromagnetic radiation, magnetic flux density, etc.

Now obviously a Raspberry Pi doesn't have enough computing power to do a whole lot from an AI perspective, so the basic concept is to have the data being received by the box pushed to a remote server, where complex training and reasoning stuff will happen. Modules can then be pushed back down to the box so that some operations can be executed locally. That's where both Wifi and cellular data come into play. One of my "next steps" right now is to get the cellular data board configured, and figure out how to get NetworkManager to seamlessly switch between that and the various Wifi AP's that will be available depending on where I take this thing.

Anyway... there's a lot of speculation to all of this, and a lot of it is still very fuzzy in my mind. But the basic concept is simply to focus on the idea of how an AI can learn from physically experiencing the world in a way that's loosely analogous to the way a human does. If you've read any of Ben Goertzel's stuff and are familiar with his whole "baby AI" notion, then you may recognize some spiritual kinship in terms of thinking. I've been heavily influenced by Ben's work, and by OpenCog[1]. In fact, OpenCog (or some parts of it) may become part of this project before all is said and done.

I never claimed aspergers was not real. This discussion started when someone asked if it was disprovable or provable whether someone was neurotypical.

The fact of the matter is it is not possible to prove someone is neurotypical or not neurotypical. There is no scientific study that can tell you whether Musk's personal problems are "significant" enough to justify the diagnosis of Aspergers.

I don't know anything about Musk's personal life, but he's clearly suffering a lot less than individual on the autism spectrum who have trouble with basic day to day activities like keeping a job or navigating a normal work related conversation.

Unless neurotypical people are definitionally free from loneliness, depression and social isolation the last sentence of your comment seems like a red herring.
Only North Korea, Syria, Eritrea and Belarus decided to vote against resolution condemning Russian invasion on Ukraine.

Russia has no allies. Even China is reluctant to take over what remains from Russian market abandoned by Western companies.

Hardly a 'crypto company' and instead they use crypto for commission payments and an easy way for insiders to pump and dump. They could use Paypal or Venmo for commission payments, though insiders couldn't fleece people with the scam token.

Tesla has a 20% margin and are still bringing online many measures to drastically reduce their costs. The complexity reduction in the upcoming Model Y's with dual gigacasts and batteries is massive. If they have to compete on price, they will. They know price competition is coming and are planning for it. Mass market was in their long term plan from day one. But they won't lower their price until they're forced too. Too soon would just leave money on the table like Hyundai is.

But for now they are competing quite well against the Ioniq 5. Dealerships are now taking reservations for 2025 models of the Ioniq 5. Many people would rather pay an extra $16,000 than wait over 2 years.

I don't think Tesla is overvalued. Some (but not all) of the traditional manufacturers are undervalued. Which ones, though, that's the hard question.
> They have a completely different sales model, so it's apples to oranges. Most OEMs wholesale cars to dealers, of course those margins will be smaller.

Well yes, but they've been successful with this sales model, and sell cars all the same, so that makes them more valuable in comparison.
I just had a really odd thought cross my head and want to just document here before I forget it:

The way rifles work with recoils driving the expulsion of a shell after firing and using that force to load the next round to chamber (the famous AK47 design)

--

Would there be a method of attaching a compressed water bottle with valve with a donut nozzle with vents out at angles to the optimal suppression of the muzzle flash.

The idea being that, like a paintball gun, the machine's trigger pull, also has a tangential trig that pulls an outburst a micro second from the rifle, in a ring mist of water/(some more expensive, toxic military fire-suppressant (ironic) to reduce the muzzle flash on shot...

May it reduce the muzzle flare? or is it too weak? Should it launch behind muzzle, after muzzle?

The bullet down the barrel triggers the valve when it hits 50% of barrel length. Once that induction occurs, it triggers the valve, and the flame suppressant cloud is spit out micro seconds prior to bullet breach...

---

I am convinced that we can use Davincis micro fluidics... turbulence drawings.

----

So let talk about next gen firing

The barrel release could be routed to drive the exhaust through channels which drive micro-turbine motors that slurp back through the external of barrel and infuse with water.

This was used in Vietnam. My neighbor growing up had this condition and was a spotter in Vietnam. He'd be flown over areas of jungle in a helicopter and he would be able to easily spot camouflaged structures. He would then photograph them and mark up what he saw. He parlayed this experience into a successful career in photojournalism after he got out of the military.
Can you link one of these waterproof+solar kits?
I would welcome something, but not the so called solutions that go under the buzzword "passwordless".

Shoulder-surfing isn't a problem for me, phishing worked when I was 12 and the internet was new, keyloggers... Yup, possible, although unlikely given the choice of my OS.

But alas, I digress and indeed it became personal, so let's stop it here, as I am not interested in personal discussions on the internet.

I am a career changer, currently transitioning from a legal career to a data analyst role. Up until recently I was a product attorney at a large software company, advising software engineers and data scientists. I am mostly a self-taught data analyst, but I also have an undergraduate degree with majors in mathematics and economics, and more recently I obtained a professional data analyst certificate from DataCamp. Having taught myself, I'm extremely self-motivated and quick to learn new technologies and methods. I would love to discuss your data needs and hear about any open data analyst opportunities.
Custom scraper, crawler, fuzzer, etc.
its lame but im enjoying myself.

Found a new (to me at least) directory traversal on a webserver the other day. was pretty jazzed about it.
No one has successfully connected proof (v) and prove (v) here, though the examples of the former are exhaustive in modern speech.

The difference is the two kinds of proving, one of which is vanishing from the language: the sense of testing something, practically, rather than by reason or evidence. A proof copy is when a type plate is prooved, the rising of dough prooves the culture's activity.

So these irregular noun-to-verb forms exist because proof has largely lost the second meaning.
The bill the commenter was mentioning is currently in the Senate and hasn't been voted on yet. It would bring back the $7,500 credit for any EV that is built in the U.S. and removes the 200,000 limit. The bill also changes the mechanics of the credit so that it is applied immediately off the purchase price rather than a tax credit whenever you file. It also allows for up to a $4,000 credit on used EV's.
Bear in mind you need to shoot raw, not jpg, in order to benefit from this.

In a tricky exposure situation, dial exposure compensation way down (-3 to -5 EV) and take the shot. You probably want a low-ish ISO selected too. Then in lightroom/whatever just crank the exposure slider up and fiddle with the levels & curves - easy way to not blow out your highlights.
> GraphQL

What libraries does this require? I'm just issuing fetch requests and getting back JSON. Apollo is absolutely NOT EVEN CLOSE TO required to do GQL...

Honestly, both GraphQL and everything else listed seems pretty orthogonal to the original discussion of frameworks... Whether you used VanillaJS or React or a server-rendering platform, your choices of internationalization & datastores & auth & functionality require code...
> What would help you work with greater clarity and efficiency to serve our users and customers?

It is insanely hard to be the CEO of a company for which users and customers are not only different, but serving both is impossible without conflict of inteest.
Which is a bit ironic, given the thread, since some studies have found people with ADHD tend to have more difficulty parsing sarcasm from sincerity.
