This reminds me of a problem that I have yet to figure out - does anyone know of any working GNURadio flowgraph which can decode and display ATSC 1.0 television in real time? I don't want to record now and watch later, for the purposes of this question.
No, not going to do any of that.
Don’t forget Autonomy for $11B which turned out to be a fraud. Herman Houser and Mike Lynch are still good friends.
Not being cloud agnostic forces you to use one single cloud provider, that is not necessarily the best in everything.
Refurb can take any number of files or folders, for example:

refurb file.py folder/ another_folder/

Hope that helps!
I have heard a story about developer who deleted all the code in the company that was not covered with tests.

Everything stopped working. His changes were reverted back.

But within a month all code base was covered with tests.
I was pretty into MTG when I was younger and had a very in-depth understanding of the rules (I could properly work out how layering work for example). I considered becoming a judge, but when I learned that they worked very long hours for free, I couldn’t understand why anyone would do it.
No way they could switch in under 5 years. TSMC provides design guidance and knowledge that will be deeply embedded in the design of their chips. It’s not like a print shop where you can send over a pdf.

I agree with the diversity angle though. Tim Cook seemed really slow to recognize it, but the last few years apple has accelerated shifting manufacturing. India will now be joining China in producing their latest phones (14), which is a big first.
Becoming a father shrinks your cerebrum
It's mostly coz some people that worked on it went to big companies. Go being one example.
Re the first paragraph: It's good you think that because that literally is what we teach and should believe. People who believe otherwise are mistaken. Even so called fundamental physics is studied within an approximation almost always.

The moment you say "photon" you're making an approximation (usually monochromatic and plane wave without sources, in the infrared region, and so on). Physicists who think otherwise simply do not understand what they are doing.
You might also want to find likeminded people.
Given your clear technical expertise here and on Twitter, I would argue that you might just be performing better than most people, so "most interviewers" are more reasonable with you specifically.
Europe already announced they weren't buying Russian oil, and Russia already announced they weren't going to sell it. The pipeline being functional, or no, seems inconsequential. The attack can serve propaganda purposes, however.
Not really. Our interest in TSMC and other tech assets in Taiwan is already enormous. Any impact would really be on the margins.
Works well on MBP16 M1 Pro.

What's the best version of Doom 3 these days to use on Apple Silicon?
None of the homes we'd be interested in are rentals. Our town presently has ~3k more rental bedrooms than it has college students so a lot of the rental properties are actually going on the market now. But again nothing we'd be interested in buying. But even with the ~3k additional rooms, developers are still building apartment complexes that are "student only". I'm not sure how they plan to fill them.
Better? Compared to what other big cities? Even in London it's easier to find rent.
AfD were hinting at reviving it. That would possibly be a popular proposal with the German public after this winter. Might get them a lot of votes.

Blowing it up guarantees Nordstream is forever dead.

The same day a new pipeline was announced as open from Norway to Poland.

Didn't a Polish EU MP tweet "Thank-you USA" when the news broke of the explosions.
Isn't it the other way out?

The logistic curve becomes denser close to 0 and 1. Which makes sense: you will want to tell apart 1 defect per million from 0.01 dpm, and 5-sigma process (99.977%) from 6-sigma (99.99966%), much more than tell apart 30% from 30.001%.
I used to spend ridiculous amounts of money on Halloween displays. The thing that scared people the most was a big red button I encouraged them to press. My plan was to give the first person who pressed it all of our candy and a cash prize. No one ever did.

I trust them to make really great things and still fully OSS, this is where they are coming from. I can't believe for a second they will betray their own vision.
Doesn’t surprise me that the portal isn’t geofenced because it is likely to be well maintained, monitored, and funded for business reasons.

Stare Archeology websites don’t have the same incentives for IT attention…I mean the one here isn’t even very “Web2.0”.
It’s worth noting that there are always the fears of losing touch with the details of stuff that some along with various advances. The same thing was the case when I was in junior high with calculators, “how will you add and multiply if your batteries run out?” but the fact of the matter is, not having to be able to make your own push button switch freed people to advance to other topics. Similarly, in mathematics education, when I was in high school, there were classes entitled College Algebra and College Trigonometry¹ which had the implicit message that these were materials traditionally taught in college² and not in the third year of high school. On the other hand, things like calculating square roots by hand are no longer part of the curriculum, although they may still be taught on occasion by the rare teacher who has those skills as an enrichment topic to fill some class time or as part of the math club’s after-school explorations.

We may be filled with nostalgia for our own learning and think that it’s the only way to learn, but as time goes on, some skills just become less important.

1. The backs of the textbooks included printed tables for log (both base 10 and ln), sin, cos, tan, cot, sec and csc, with the latter six tables to three thanks to the fact that sinθ=cos(θ-π/2).³

2. The disjunction between practice and theory has led to this sequence being renamed precalculus in most (if not all) high schools now.

3. The skills to make those tables in the first place are yet another thing that we no longer dedicate long classroom hours to, although Charles Babbage would have thought that being unable to verify the accuracy of your tables was a sign of intellectual weakness.
Not much more magical than delivering a chicken to the butcher, and getting back pieces of meat. Or delivering a typed manuscript to your publisher, and getting a bound book. Or any trade essentially.

Having a machine do it - that was new. But not the part about abdicating responsibility for function.
This is not how the article approached technologically sovereign at all, as is this is just a strawman argument. No one proposed that sovereignty is about producing everything from scratch yourself. Here's the actual excerpt:

> One question countries have to ask themselves if whether they have all the critical technologies needed to run a country and its economy.

> “The answer for Britain” is “absolutely no, there is no chance in hell that Britain could ever become technologically sovereign,” he said.
The article is 5 years old. At the time, a lot of non-FAANG companies were moving away from this style of interview in favor of take home tests. That didn't last long.
Get real. A bunch of those mofos are on a payroll.
Consider that "Why did the Roman Empire fall?" consists of 1 word that describes the type of question being asked ("why"), 2 useless junk words ("did the"), and 3 "key words" ("Roman Empire Fall"), of which 2 should really be treated as a single word referring to a single concept/entity ("Roman Empire", for which "Rome" is a synonym in some cases).

Humans instinctively know this, so we are able to construct queries like "why rome fall".

But that "why rome fall" query, which we think of as a purely mechanical keyword search, already requires quite a bit of sophisticated processing in the search engine. The system has to recognize that "fall" is synonymous for "collapse" or "wane in power" and not synonymous for "autumn". It also has to recognize that "rome" means "the (Western) Roman Empire" and not the modern city of Rome in Italy or "the Holy Roman Empire" or the city of Rome, NY, USA. It furthermore needs to interpret "why" in such a way that it emphasizes results with "reasons" or "explanations", rather than something like a "timeline" or "summary".

Personally I find it really weird that Google is interested in pushing users more to interact with its digital librarian / AI assistant, instead of continuing to improve keyword search.

I have a few guesses as to why they are going this way:

1. It makes the user interface simpler from an engineering perspective (fewer user-facing buttons and options to implement and test).

2. There is strategic benefit to making search more of a black box. Maybe they are specifically trying to "educate" users to expect and be comfortable with such black boxes. Maybe the plan is to get people so accustomed to "AI assistant" search that they see keyword search as outdated, and thereby secure a competitive advantage for the next several years over other search engines, by having the biggest and best AI models.

3. They are trying to increase the amount of rich "natural language" user search inputs in their data. Making keyword search worse will encourage people to use queries that more closely resemble natural language. I assume that this has strategic benefit related to Guess 2 above.
Wouldn't you agree the dollar amount plus the interest rate broadly determine the monthly payment? So we can compare a 2001 home at $300,000 for 7% vs a 2020 home at $440,000. Someone buying a home today will pay more month to month for a median home.
I'm happy to see it has such a vibrant homebrew scene.

what he's trying to say is that the best companies in the world at chipmaking aren't keeping up with TSMC. Not because they don't have money to spend, but because the problem is really hard and there is a lot of room for 'not complete' failure.

You could be completely successful in making chips at small node sizes and have someone out-compete you, meaning your chips are less performant than the competition and you look worse, and it cost you tens of billions of dollars to get there. That's what samsung and intel have been experiencing for several years now.

One thing apple isn't famous for is manufacturing cpus. It's hard. They buy parts from other companies and pay yet another company to assemble them. There is no one to buy or fund to instantly catch up, and even if you did, next year you may be out again.

It's not an easy problem where throwing money means you win, and apple has the most money.
I think about this a lot in humor contexts. Many jokes rely on passing cultural contexts that isn't documented and isn't made explicit.

Example: In my experience "The chad was good" and various jokes around "hanging chads" and "pregnant chads" still sometimes land with people who remember the 2000 election and Charlie's Angles, but anyone a little younger misses it.

Now I'm curious how many jokes in an episode of "John Oliver" or Southpark land even a year or two after the episode airs.
Ironic that this page pops up a particularly obnoxious cookie banner.
Well, the modern conservative movement is an alliance of several groups.

Some conservatives get from sex work to prohibition via moral degeneracy - perhaps they'll want strong moral fibre from their politicians and oppose all forms of corruption.

Other conservatives reason via religion - perhaps they'll also oppose teaching evolution, and support 'in god we trust' signs in classrooms.

Still other conservatives don't really care either way about prostitution, but have strong opinions on guns or taxes and kinda tolerate the rest of the conservative platform.

And there are even conservatives who think the state has no business regulating what goes on between consenting adults behind closed doors, and the smaller and less intrusive a state is the better; and they're frankly embarrassed their fellow conservatives are inviting the state into the bedroom.
It might be more accurate to say "there has been a place for the industry of mathematical abstractions (strings and such)" since the very late 1960s/early 1970s S-Matrix theory.

I think the various funding agencies around the world are largely to blame for the current situation in HEP and how/where research (theory and experiment) efforts are focused. "Efforts" can be read as man-years and money.
It is technology that creates this, but that technology is older

It's called triage -- sorting things into levels of effort/effect and picking the low hanging fruit first.

We've automated the processing of the repetitive stuff, so we're left with the hard problems.

I have a friend who repairs things, all the way from old tube based Ham radios (Collins are his favorite) through atomic clocks up to working on computers. He's been at it since the 1950s. Often we'll have this conversation, or one that rhymes with it:

Him: Why do I get all the hard problems?

Me: Because if it was easy, you wouldn't be getting it, it would have already been handled.

Him: Oh, you're right!

Us: Shared laugh

Google, Amazon, et al have decided not to handle the hard problems and hope they go away. That externalizes their problems to the rest of us.

Like most rules-of-thumb, they're 'fuzzy' and it's not about the total home value but the actual monthly cost of ownership.

Pick a state though, say Missouri. A married couple earning $65k will bring home $50k after tax. In the first example, with a mortgage + tax + insurance house cost of $2,200/month, their home costs will be about $25k/year leaving them about $25k for other spending. Not lavish, but likely doable.

The real comparison though, is what they could rent an apartment for as the alternative to buying that house. In most places, they'd be paying nearly that same total in rent so it's basically a wash (assuming they can come up with the down payment).

I use a split keyboard with a trackpad in the center between the two halves. It means my hands move even less than reaching over to use a mouse, and it doesn't matter how big my keyboard is, because I never have to reach out beyond the sides of it. It's so comfortable. More keys, who cares, bring them on!

I am neutral on the position of UK "technological sovereignty" but I don't think listing a bunch of people who died before 1900 really helps demonstrate your point.
You touched on the fact that the AI right now is primitive and unable to parse regular english well - I agree that it still has a ways to go in this regard but, while all of us complaining here might prefer the old google, we are the "in" crowd that actually put in the time to learn the old arbitrary rules. It isn't great to keep around arbitrary rules purely for the sake of consistency if those rules are bad. I think the fact that the search results are often unable to clearly distinguish different questions (and may return some autumn related results for "fall of rome") is a clearly bad thing - but the old format we're used to required a lot of learning and adaptation (the aforementioned "Google-fu") that shouldn't be a necessary skill for future generations.

Obviously I don't get the question. But, two switches, two lightbulbs, can't you just turn one switch on, leave one switch off, and see which lightbulb is lit? You only interact with each room once. Unless there's some funny business going on?

Edit: oh, the bulbs need to be off at the end? Nah
I posted a free app I wrote on the Microsoft store, and the process to get it there was a nightmare. I'm surprised they let the fake app from TFA through, considering the multiple weeks of chop-busting and paperwork inspection they did to me just to put a free app up
Flip side is more compelling.

I don't think loss of empire is an easy pill and takes generations to process. Different cultures cope differently. Would be interesting to hear from Turks (Ottoman) on this. Russians clearly are still not over their loss of standing. I remember scenes from BBC's spy shows (Smiley stuff) where old IC hands (recruited from elite colleges) lament and make ironic comments. British Empire was a big deal. Can you imagine the shock of dropping from that height? And you know, the brits have one quality that has always impressed me: they are irrepressible. They just don't give up. Really admire that.

The def keyword followed by a colon could be used as the marker for the continuation material that supplies the multi-line lambada bodies.

Perhaps the double colon would be unnecessary: just make the expression optional, and if it's missing then there has to be an "outboard" body.

if foo(lambda x:, list) < bar(lambda y:, list):
def: # lambda x
return x + x
def: # lambda y
return 2 * y
return list # then statement of if

Yandex is the best image search. It even has something better than duplicate search - I believe they do embedding based similarity. It works like lexica.art, a recent diffusion image search engine.
Might want to double-check your inflation info, there. We're not close to an all-time high. We're not even at 50% of an all-time high. And also the concept of inflation not being the same everywhere.

The founding of the USA had all 13 colonies with state churches. Sure, let’s return to that. Then all the states would outlaw this immoral practice.
There is plenty of competition for AWS, so we would, in terms of economic theory, expect that AWS charges you mildly more than it costs them to provide the service, unless they have any particular economies of scale that people like GCP and Azure (and the other less-known cloud offerings) do not have access to. Which seems unlikely to dominate the costing.

AWS may be able to charge a surcharge for being the biggest and best-known cloud offering that most people have expertise with, raising the de facto cost of switching.
Ah, you are correct, my mistake. I owe you one.
I have edited my comment with an apology, out of respect and as penance for the slander.
I think it's a huge stretch to say the two concepts aren't related.

To take the example of the military; we have the "military industrial complex" which is the collection of private companies that form the vital part of the state's war functions.

To become technologically sovereign will require a similar basket of private companies based in your own State, unless you expect the government to be capable of all of these tasks effectively itself. Think universities, chip designers, fabs, factories. This is also not an all or nothing choice - the absence of Lithium in the UK is not a good argument against considering strategically what aspects of the tech industry should be sovereign.

Watching someone be genuinely enthusiastic about something is wonderful. Society has far too much cynicism, and watching it beat that into children as they grow up is no fun. I see a lot of adults who treat things that way.

Maybe it's a generational thing, maybe it's my circles, but I've seen plenty people appreciating and gushing about people sharing their interests. It's even in the memes, here's an example:

> Everyone wants an autistic gf who infodumps abt video games and linguistics and whatever up until day 43 of the relationship when you get a paper cut and she starts trying to drink your blood
Australia is kind of a fortress, just by being so physically far away from most places. All the important population centers are far to the south, so the north becomes a continent sized staging area for battle

I just want to further call attention to this. We have the unspoken notion, an assumption that digital materials, once 'written' will remain forever.

And, for a short-term 'forever' this is true. Not so for longer 'forever', as the loss of the original Usenet post, despite replicated across many systems, demonstrates.
that's a fine example of capitalism driving costs down and making things cheaper.
