The sound market was always a mess.

Games ended up congealing around the Sound Blaster standard, which put Creative in the centre of the sound universe. Everyone else was always just "SB compatible", which meant they were playing for the "$10 placeholder sound card" market in the Pentium days. By the time we were getting onboard audio (I think my first board with it was Socket A), it was all hidden behind DirectX, and the market became the "90 cent placeholder chip soldered onto the mobo" market, and then they're all undercut by Realtek.

Unfortunately, Creative is a mediocre steward of the premium-sound landscape. Their product matrix is complicated, support is all over the place, and the drivers are sketchy. I have an Audigy RX that I pulled out of circulation because it could crash two different boards (B550 and X570) and the general consensus was just "they're not that compatible."

I suppose that market technically didn't crush everyone else, there was still the pro-audio market, but that had entirely different needs than a typical home enthusiast. If you're building a studio PC to run specific studio software, you can put up with a narrow compatibility list and finickiness.

But it feels like there's a reasonable niche there for the "eager to throw money around" audiophile crowd. Cards full of high-markup capacitors and filters so you can claim to offer cleaner power and a lower noise floor seem tailor-made to unlocking those wallets. Where is that card? Although I suspect for that audience, they just pipe out stuff via optical to an external DAC because the inside of the PC must be full of RFI.
(Former Dyalog implementor) I have 9ms for the actual median calculation, which is much faster than generating the ages. It's a counting sort on 1-byte values: since the counts are so large it can just write results with memset() or an equivalent which is vectorized. You could also get the median from the counts directly, although I'm not sure APL has a way to do those counts that's faster than just sorting.
But it isn't actually pricing the native population out of the country, just the most desirable cities. But, that was already happening to a huge swath of the native population beforehand by the native population, so what is different for majority of Portuguese who could never move to Lisbon or Porto? Not much. They couldn't afford to move to lisbon 20 years ago, and they can't move there now.

I see the same dynamic at play here in Boulder. People are claiming there is a housing affordability crisis because outsiders(commonly pejoratively referred to as Californians, Texans, and New Yorkers, even if they're not) are moving in and jacking up the prices, but commonly you'll see those people complaining have been here for, say, 10 years. But, 10 years ago when they moved here, the previous locals were saying...there's a housing affordability crisis and these newcomers are jacking up the prices!

Just a caution: I've cut apart several microusb cables (using the ends for power, and cables for sensors, etc, just because I have a bin full of them - mostly for esp32-based projects). The thing I've noticed is cable thickness doesn't line up with conductors thickness. I've opened "large" cables to find tiny 28awg wire inside and a very thick jacket. Maybe just my cables and limited sample size, but it's like 50% of the time. A lot of cables in my bin are the random ones that get included in the box with something else.

I so far haven't chopped up any usb-c cables, but I don't see why to expect any different.
Please define ‘succeed’. How many billion dollars do you need to lose to be a ‘success’ ?
Most houses I've seen there are $50k houses on $2M pieces of land. Something like 75% of the land is used for single family detached houses. Just remove the dumb restrictions and there is plenty of space and prices go down.
I can't help but think that if everyone was compiling malware at 12, we'd probably need significantly more advanced anti-malware.

Maybe it’s just poorly tilted then? This literally IS. I guess they are trying to imply other problems aren’t? But that would apply to some other theoretical question not mentioned here…
Portugal Created and give a Country to Brazilians.

Before Portuguese came it was only forest and some indian tribes fighting each other.

They literally gave a whole country for us Brazilians.

Or you really think some (maybe 80) Portuguese that came desperate, with hunger and disease after months sailing would be able to "genocide" all natives?

I know what "history" books says, but it is bulls*.

The prince still live in Brazil.

We own the Brazil to the Portuguese.

They are our Older brothers

Humans did not “need” things they lacked, and live to tell about it. Every age could see itself as complete. We’re fortunate that it took until the mid 20th century to freeze everything in amber. Unfortunately, the mid 20th century left us some really problematic stuff that wouldn't pass regulatory scrutiny today - like car dependence - and now we can't get rid of it.
I am not beyond convincing, but I need a reason other than "it's not done this way", I don't doubt that or your experience but I have to question when my technical reason is met with "nobody does that" bigcorp or startup everyone has different needs and they should secure the data important to their business in a way that they can afford and as such a reductive checklist approach is bad and you have not made an argument otherwise so I suppose I will agree to disagree.
Can you expand on this point? Personally, as an individual, I would consider it prudent not to advertise such things. Eric, as a politician, can be held to different standards, but, equally, I still see Twitter not as a platform for campaigns, although it is increasingly being used that way. He does have has a Wikipedia page, a website and an entry on Ballotpedia as well detailing his political behavior; it's not that it's hidden per-se.
I don’t want usb4 cables. USB-C was a cluster** when launched with varying levels of compatibility and interoperability that you couldn’t tell by looking at the cable. T3 and T4 also look identical to USB-C except for the thunderbolt icon; how you differentiate T3 from T4 without plugging it in is beyond me.

The USB folks have a good thing in USB-C at the current 3.X revision. Let it simmer for a while. Introduce Thunderbolt 5 if someone really needs that kind of bandwidth, but let USB4 mature before inflicting it on the world.
“By design” implies someone set out with that intention. My belief is that incentives are aligned so no state actor has significant reason to change the status quo.
No, it's pretty much an sqlite problem. As good as it is for limited concurrency situations (and synthetic benchmarks like this expensify blog), it does not compare to mysql or postgres for mediating hundreds or thousands of transactions per second.

Prop 13 is terrible and has create a 'landed gentry'. It certainly hasn't lowered housing prices and forces those people to stay in a house that they may not want to live in but have to because moving removes their benefit. To fix housing crisis just remove zoning and stupid rules that delay housing. If all of sudden 75% of the land was available for building up there would be rapidly falling prices very quickly.
Giant Isopods Got Supersized
Such a claim would be better with evidence. What proportion of people who use LSD end up not 'surviving'? What are the actual, quantifiable harms? And which of those could be mitigated without the oppressive force of the law being in place? How do these harms compare to other substances and activities people undertake?
It's unclear why the post used this tweet to describe the event. Much more popular is the Zuckerberg interview (with Joe Rogan, I think) talking about warnings of 'disinformation' days before the Hunter Biden laptop story came out. The implication being that they (the FBI in that case, IIRC) were themselves seeding disinformation to discredit stories injurious to then-candidate Biden.
Is the full composition of this fuel public knowledge?

Not to diminish this work, but I think it's worth noting that it's increasingly possibly to launch new VMs extremely quickly too. FreeBSD/Firecracker can reach userland in 33 ms, and the OSv unikernel boots in under 10 ms.

I think increasingly we'll see Firecracker used with EC2-like setups of "create a disk image with everything preinstalled and then boot it" rather than using snapshots of running (suspended) VMs.

A fiduciary is a person in a position of trust. It's commonly used in a financial context but is by no means limited to that. I think it's you who is confused about medical ethics; Take a look at the AMA's guidance and note that it's used in many other contexts besides the one you mention.

Los Angeles resident here. Depending on where you work, there's actually some great options for biking here. For one, there's an awesome bike trail on the beach ranging from Malibu all the way down to Torrance. Occasionally there are creeks going inland that have protected bike lanes and act as "bicycle freeways". Look for Ballona Creek bike trail for example. Finally, there's a great Metro connection between Santa Monica and downtown Los Angeles (expo line).

I bike to work everyday on my electric bike and run most errands by bike (doctor, haircut, groceries). While I do have a car, I only use it for trips outside of town on the weekends (plus monthly Costco runs).
Skylakes were not being discussed.
I read through our company's weekly updates that include a wellbeing score of how people are doing. Since the start of Q2, roughly 10% of the company is out with Covid at any given time.
This is insane. There are lots of clear macroeconomic reasons why fewer people are working predominantly menial jobs. "Long covid" is a ridiculous excuse and it's terrifying that this is getting actual serious press. I assume it's basically political cover to try and provide an alternate and politically friendly explanation vs how the slide towards a government-money-centric economy has created worker "shortages". But it's insane.
The article on ball lightning in Thewlis' Encyclopedic Dictionary of Physics (1967) judged that it didn't really exist. Although it is still not understood, and even not established to be a single phenomenon, there seems to be wide acceptance of its reality.

One thing to keep in mind if you ever see ball lightning, the larger ones appear to emit lethal amounts of ionizing radiation.

What is most distasteful to me is that both the vendor and the police try hard to hide the fact that they are using it. Why hide it if it’s legal? Odds are because they don’t want to be a squeaky wheel that gets greased.
what is a “good” language?

It's a shame that it took some districts fully banning leaded fuel to force this change through.

Probably the biggest differentiator compared to those three is that it's object-oriented. Rust, Zig and Nim are all procedural.

Everyone posting their pip/build/runtime errors is everything that's wrong with tooling built on top of python and its ecosystem.

It would be nice to see the ML community move on to something that's actually easily reproducible and buildable without "oh install this version of conda", "run pip install for this package", "edit this line in this python script".
> Why hide it if it’s legal?

Legal and moral are two different things, and the police is a public service. Public trust and perception are important because they give legitimacy to government.
There are some NUC like systems available, but they are primarily for embedded/industrial use. On Alibaba such devices have their own category https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/battery-powered-mini-pc.htm...
The poster didn't suggest suffixes like this. I took their point to be the opposite: let's have short, easy-to-read, meaningful names for each possible combination of port.

But regardless, this is what I was getting at when I said "I don’t think there’s a way to convey all the info that should be conveyed in a short, easy to remember way." The spec is far too overloaded with functionality to have any kind of naming system that is both sane and unambiguous.

For example, USB40DHMTV.60W (rolls right off the tongue!) doesn't specify what PD voltages are supported, or whether the "T" component is Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4.

> The most efficient way to improve is to play with and against people better than you.

Unless the opponent is purposefully throwing a "teaching game" and/or giving an appropriate handicap of some kind, this is absolutely not the case.

In Chess, games at the 1500 Elo level are won/lost due to a knight fork, a bishop pin, a skewer, and other such traps. GMs literally will give you _zero_ opportunities to find such mistakes from them, because they play nearly perfectly.

Finding such mistakes (in yourself, and your opponent) requires an opponent who makes such mistakes at a roughly the same level as you. GMs who can see maybe 2 or 3 moves ahead of you will prevent such mistakes from even occurring, giving you no chance to learn.

A "show match" vs a stronger player is to be honored, but its not a lesson learned. Its not a teaching game.

------

Sure, GMs make mistakes. But the mistakes they make are invisible to 1500 Elo players. There's no hope to ever see it, and no one expecting to learn to play the game studies GM-level chess.

1500 Elo players will improve far faster with skewer puzzles, fork puzzles, outposts, etc. etc.
Thanks installed that one. So much better than K9
This makes a lot more sense than having GPT-3 actually write responses, which is what I thought this was going to be. Not nearly as much fun though!

(But in seriousness, using GPT-3 for parsing to extract info is a neat use case I wasn’t aware of).

On a thread like this, where someone is asking directly what the set of things startups do for security as best practices, my priority is just ensuring that the thread generates an accurate answer to the question. Maybe some other thread will happen where we can debate whether AON (for example) does security more effectively than Square.

That chip is responsible for much more than HRTFs too. It can handle a huge amount of 3D audio-related DSP effects and decoding which are all way more compute intensive than the HRTF, which is performed once at the very end of the signal chain for the headphones.

^totally. There really needs to be action on this front. The problem has a massive scale and is more likely IMO to negatively affect a young persons experience than global warming, war, race and the phobias. Trouble is the human mind needs something to cling to. It simply wasn’t meant to challenge the mysteries of existence and the universe, and to accept death. So we fall into the delusion pit.

I’m not assuming anything about the thoughts and opinions of any spouse of any justice.

Do you have any evidence or example of Justice Thomas changing his vote because of his wife’s opinion?

Or do you think that marital influence fundamentally compromises the independence of his opinion, so it’s safe to assume that he agrees with her on any matter that comes before the court?

And if that’s your position, then why are you only worried about the spouse of one particular justice? Should we check what Jane Roberts texts her friends about the 2nd amendment? Maybe we need confirmation hearings for Supreme Court spouses.

This is nonsense. The main reason behind the demise of dedicated sound cards: motherboard sound chipsets got "good enough". The value add wasn't adding enough value any more because you can get decent sound quality just by using the default sound output provided by your motherboard.

3D sound and other processing got baked into middleware for games because it became trivial to do all of the processing in software - and the processing became more advanced than anything that the sound card vendors were offering (and they didn't move quickly enough anyway).

Pro audio vastly progressed past anything that is possible to provide in fixed silicon. For input, dedicated USB (and ethernet) audio interfaces progressed to the point where it would be ridiculous to provide such functionality on a general "sound card".

It's just evolution - there just isn't a compelling enough niche for a dedicated sound card any more.
Yes. That's how it's worked for the ~7 years I worked for myself. I'm currently working a full time remote job in addition to managing my own company, and there it's more like 75/25 productivity/availability. Unless I'm on call, then its flipped.
