Digital computers are turning into analog ones.
I took control theory in my undergrad EE degree and did fun project of making a analog PID control from scratch using OpAmps, potentiometers for setting weights for P,I&D signals as well as input and output sensing, a motor for output which positioned a stick to point in the direction of the input dial. Was great to see how it responded when changing or disabling P,I or D.

I only have a basic understanding of machine learning however, but am I completely wrong in seeing a lot of overlap in control theory? Seems like a ML model is like a bunch of controllers (not necessarily PID, or even linear) in parallel with a weight and a bunch of outputs in parallel and the difference between your desired output and the input is your error signal.
It's not necessarily bad, but margin rates float and should be compared with rates on ARMs, not fixed-rate mortgages. Furthermore, one you get the mortage, the bank cannot call in your loan just because the value of the house falls. Brokers will call in a margin loan if the value of stocks falls far enough.
One place I worked just committed it to the git repo (obviously just SSO and account numbers, no passwords or tokens)
Native people have pushed back against ASF’s appropriation for decades, but it’s always been shoved under the rug. As a kid when I first heard about the “Apache” server I felt othered by the name. Since then it’s really seeped into the background of tech but the ugliness of it is still there. I’ve heard from many other Native people who are offended by the name and branding, in general it’s pretty easy to see the settler entitlement involved in mascots and appropriation.

I’ve compiled a bunch of resources about this topic on https://www.endasfmascotry.com/ if you’re interested.
> Yes there are ways around this (FEC), but getting 1ms 99%ile latency over wifi IRL is nontrivial.

Streaming video is extremely nontrivial to start with. Use FEC when necessary.

Also I just threw a thousand 1400B packets over my wifi and 99% was something like 5ms, max 10ms. 5ms is close enough for me, and I could probably hit 2ms with light effort.
what in the golden ?
Why does the author want to get rid of the modeline? This would be a major mistake.
Experienced both sides too. Some physical jobs suck and some bosses really suck, but some are also great and massively rewarding even though pay may not reflect that. Really depends on the company, the match of body+job, and importantly the Country - worker protection laws.
Not following you here: Your suggestion for evidence that 3rd party batteries will be available is that some guy in Finland couldn't get enough supply?
The pico (w) had pretty good availability from most official resellers everytime I checked. Sellers on amazon often jack up the price which is why you shouldn't buy a pi on there.

> Having said that paying interest on sovereign debt is, effectively, a basic income for people who have money. Getting rid of it is a tax on rich people with savings.

A zero nominal interest rate, while possible, generally requires the central bank to implement a policy of deflation (see [1]). For example, in the US, the long term real interest rate on US treasury securities is 1.74%, so setting the nominal interest rate to 0% would require a deflation at a rate of (1.0174)^-1 per year (~1.71%). While this would eliminate some of the interest earned by "people who have money" it also has the counterbalancing effect of increasing the real value of the money which those people have saved, due to the deflation.

Very nice!

Just a minor nitpick (for those who care about the details of OpenJDK's development): virtual threads are not Project Loom, but rather one of the JEPs contributed to the JDK by Project Loom. There are two in JDK 19 (425 and 428), another in advanced stages (429), and there will probably be more. OpenJDK Projects aren't features but teams working on producing features focused on some area and then offering them to the JDK.

Thanks. That is who I meant.
The important distinction is the much larger financial and professional freedom of the person in question than the Office Space characters
The fraction of devs that regularly deal with databases and parsing. There are no 10x devs. There are devs with long experience in a specific category. The 10x idea is kind of stupid in terms of companies looking for them - it just means "we want people successfully trained somewhere else".
Actually curious, do you hold the same standard for print media (a newspaper/magazine ad), out-of-home (billboard), and television advertising?

How do you primarily discover businesses and products?

It's the other way around. Linux was removed as a reaction to it being used to jailbreak the PS3 and allow piracy.
To be honest I’m not that worried about individual employee access. I’m much more concerned about systematic organisational access.

Apple might have a handful of employees misuse data. Google will do it on purpose, at scale.
Sadly it doesn't have Apple GPU backend
I saw him on tour in 1990 and he got lost in a Beatles song on stage and had a laugh about it. That’s said, everything I’ve read or seen about him points to him having an encyclopedic memory of songs.
We learn how to roll, crawl, walk, run. No point shouting run at the crawling child. Maybe better to say well done .
I mean liquefied methane, which does not need to have fossil sources. It is also generated by biomass facilities who operate on farm waste.

> You have to keep the liquefied gas sufficiently chilled all through transport

No, just compressed. Same as with hydrogen.
There is no evidence Niemann used computer engines to progress in FIDE ratings. Whatever happens in no stakes online games is irrelevant. I use CheatEngine to make my Crusader Kings 2 games me interesting, so what?
Reminds me of the old Chinese proverb that says “the faintest ink is more powerful than the strongest memory.”
rhyme and rhythm are linguistic information compression mechanisms
Yes, I'm asking precisely how to think about external circumstances. If your thinking is that outcomes are because of your decisions, it means if a doctor blows you off after a cancer screening returns abnormal results you must've decided something to result in this. The podcaster decided the only logic there is that if you didn't want the doctor to blow you off you shouldn't have decided to proactively screen yourself for cancer.

Personally, I struggled with thinking about events in my life and my decisions leading to those events precisely because of seeing other people try to take that logic and apply it in good faith, resulting in horrible conclusions. That someone could've prevented their fibromyalgia and therefore they are at fault for getting sick. That someone's child abuse was something they need to take responsibility about.
I didn't, I still use Emacs with org-mode and org-roam, saving searchs and wrapping everything I need through org-ql, while having in place what Emacs' ecosystem has to offer.
Ask HN: Can large sums of money help advance the cure to cancer?
I came across this question when I was thinking about problems that can be solved with the help of money.

If you choose to reply, please explain to me as if I were a child. Medicine/Biotech is not my area of expertise.
Somewhere I worked used to just run awsnuke and move them to a "deleteme" OU. I guess that's an option if you're okay with a bunch of empty accounts (they have a few hundred in there)
With the acquiescence of another 251 (218 representatives and 33 Senators), as well as (theoretically) the Vice President and 8 members of the cabinet.
The other way to look at this is that Amazon actually reports injuries. My brother worked at a "mom & pop" carpet warehouse and they wouldn't report anything unless it resulted in a hospital visit i.e. broken bones, high blood loss, concussion, etc...
But the entire premise of the scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pubd-spHN-0 is that the act of telling someone to "stop trying to make fetch happen" is toxic and mean-spirited, and if someone actually does want to make "fetch" happen, they should be encouraged to do so.

And if your "fetch" is the normalization of Mean Girls as a valid lede for didactic technical discourse, then you go Glen Coco.
Just curious: I know developers can have deep links preserved through the app store installation process, so that e.g. after you install the app it takes you to the article you were reading in Safari. What stops you from putting an identifier in there?
You say 'exposure' but then you discuss powerful orators and crowd dynamics. These aren't the same at all.

Also I don't think the Nazis and Hutus were made into racists by academic discussion of genetics, and I don't think that people who study genetic factors of IQ are more likely to be Nazi-sympathetic. It's not like the Nazis were scientific racists, they were pseudo-scientific racists - they started out racist and went on a quest for the appearance of proof.

The pro-censorship side needs to prove the science->racism pathway and then prove that "deplatforming" works to reduce overall belief in or following of that path. Censorship tends to have a whiplash effect to those who notice it which is rarely taken into account by those who preach censorship. (Which is what you'd expect if the people who were doing the censoring didn't care about the issues and were simply using them to bolster their control of the censoring mechanism...)

Yes, racism is bad for the believer and for society but there is no evidence censorship could help and a ton of evidence that it is ruinous to democracies.
And Google ads used to be only unobtrusive text inlined with search results until it wasn’t.

If there’s growth in a segment of business that’s moving the needle at a multi-trillion market cap corporation like Apple, there are executives and product managers all over the place hoping to get on board.
One way they can tell is whether they see you on the search results page again, or if they see you click another result on the search results page.
> You asked why you were being downvoted.

I did not.
It is "fun" to get out of depression. Things start feeling fun again. But depression is a mind-set, how you see things. I'm not saying hallucinations couldn't change your mindset, for the better.
Actually, as of Friday, that’s no longer true. \o/

I am an author who supports libraries and Controlled Digital Lending, but I vehemently opposed the Internet Archive's uncontrolled digital lending stunt at the start of the pandemic.

The principle is simple. If the IA or any online library owns a physical copy of a book, then CDL says it can be lent out either physically or digitally, but only as much at a time as there are physical copies owned. You basically treat digital copies as if they are physical copies, which can't be lent to more than one person simultaneously. Publishers don't like CDL, preferring more lucrative ebook licensing, but it's an intuitive application of the spirit of copyright law.

IA decided to abandon CDL and loan out many more copies of books than it owned. In other words, they blatantly ignored copyright, in both the letter and spirit of the law, and effectively pirated the material. And I think the publishers were very much in the right to pursue litigation about that.

I hear defenders of this stunt say that IA does so much important work, and that litigation threatens the good work, so they conclude the litigation is the problem. But if IA really does such important work, and the stunt jeopardized that work, then the fault lies with those at IA who were willing to imperil that work.

So yes, as an author I support libraries. Unless the libraries start acting like pirates.
> Rust is massively more expressive.

The question is not if Rust is more expressive but if C is expressive enough for the Linux kernel. So far there is no evidence that Rust adds any value here. And if C is missing certain features, they can be added. It looks like ISO is looking at that very thing in C2x and beyond.
For me, work from home didn't really change the hardest things about shutting down. It has never been (again, for me) the equipment or the emails or the messages, but that the mind doesn't stop chewing on things. I can put away the computers and go for a walk and still have my mind working over whatever problems I was trying to solve. I think it's an example of the mind working against itself, because I enjoy solving problems but I also enjoy putting work aside after hours.
I’ve bought several dead or pre revenue properties from folks who threw in the towel, worked with trusted contractors to turn them around (who I issue equity to for their work), and have assembled them into a small portfolio that throws off cashflow. One person’s failure is another person’s undervalued asset.

Well, the united kingdom has a much more elaborate and complete "social safety net" and yet their maternal mortality report has similar conclusions to ours. The question is always what else are we willing to give up in order to pay for that? Would you be willing to have a 10% lower effective income to save a million lives every year in the US? What about to save just 1 life? Or what if you had to have a 50% lower income in order to save that 1 life? Is it still worth it?
Everything is much easier if we are just relying on the mythical "other people" to pay for these things regardless of cost.
Text looks fine to me, Firefox on macOS. Perhaps you could make use of the "system font stack", which might fall back to a decent Serif font on other OSes.

Can the court put a lien against Musk's companies, bank accounts, and other assets (G6 or whatever jet, etc)?

The court doesn't need to fear Musk, it has a wide array of tools to employ against uncooperative folks.
The difference between "a friend who worked at Apple said he could see his spouse's purchases" and "I worked at a company which wrote software used for immoral purposes" is that one is hearsay and one is not.
I have zero idea why my brain also went to this quote.
My Xigmanas based NAS runs off a Supermicro X7SPA-L mainboard I bought used on Ebay; I also built a similar one for relatives of mine with roughly the same configuration and they both still work flawlessly after years. If you can find a X7SPA-H board, it employs 6 internal SATA ports, though for more ports you can always add a cheap SATA+eSATA PCI-E controller, such as the ASM1062 based one I have on my NAS; they're cheap on Ebay. The CPU's TDP is around 10 to 13 Watt; certainly higher than a Raspberry PI 4, but in the same ballpark and well worth the gain in performance and expandability. Speed is not stellar, still enough for most tasks including serving different HD video files (important: files, not streams) to more Kodi boxes.

A future development I want to explore is using one external eSATA box so I can add more drives. I'm not sure however about any incompatibilities between BSD (or Linux) or the PCI-E controller and external SATA port multipliers.
Or maybe he was just lucky. Just saying.
Those few though in total mean your city is pouring more chemicals on per unit area that farmers who "pour chemical" on every acre. Of course farmers are talking about thousands of acres and so chemical prices add up, while the individual is only talking about 1/10th an acre or less, so the costs add up a lot slower. Thus the farmer has incentive to put on only what is needed, and not let it run away. (not that farmers do a good job here, but they are aware of the problem unlike city residents)
I mentioned this in another RPi thread, I've had good luck with the LePotato as an alternative to the Pi (https://libre.computer/products/s905x/). The hardware footprint is 99% similar to the Pi, it works with the standard cases. Has the same 40 pin header, etc. The default RPi images usually won't run on it, you are better off with an ARMbian build, or tweaking your own. So, it's good for linux hobbyists, or anyone that can handle the minor differences between it and an actual RPi. They are ~$55, and usually in stock on Amazon.
> They are currently producing 400,000 Raspberry Pis per month.

Wow, I had no idea. I wonder what all those OEMs are doing with all those Pis?
When the risk is extermination of the species ‘pretty good mapping’ doesn’t cut it.
The same book came to mind, but in the context of bodypainting. How long before we can make an inkjet body painter--I'm thinking of some print arms that rotate around the body on actuators that keep them very close to the skin. Careful motion tracking of the body to ensure it's spraying the right bit of skin as it moves. (I have a hard time imagining a printer that's fast enough to hold a position for, not to mention the need to breathe.)

And where exactly does that fall in terms of indecent exposure? Make sure the bits that the law requires covered have solid patterns at that point, it seems it would be legal.

(On the other hand, I have doubts about the practicality of wearing body paint in ordinary life--what can be durable enough to take what life routinely dishes out, but easy to remove? He also missed the fact that people only in bodypaint should follow nudist convention and sit on a towel.)
