Either they play dumb or they really don't understand the mechanics of how big internet plateforms work. If they want to show off their immense knowledge and experience they should contribute to community projects. There are tons. Only this can produce a qualitatively different result.
> "hey go send this text to these numbers" to individual volunteers

I have direct knowledge that a lot of this is automated via services like Twilio which allow you to programmatically pick local numbers (relative to the receiver) as well as message templates that make the message more human.

Im sure its still being done manually, but a lot of this is fully automated at scale (going back to ~2015).

Short-code numbers are also quite expensive relatively, or were back when I was working in adjacent technology.
I like how the nearly the same top comment, almost word-for-word, was posted in the recent thread called '50% of CEOs considering layoffs'... too many posts with numberspin lately.
This is new.

You mean the current right wing ruling party? It has a very large vocal, visible and genuine support from large population of India. That is democracy by any definition. This support is for progressive policies and anti-corruption principles.

Not all section of population agree on progress at the cost of right wing philosophies, but that again is in line with the rules of democracy.

That's generous.
Calculus is where I learned how to solve a hard problem. The kind of problem that takes more than a few moments to solve. It taught me how to sit down and actually focus on finding a solution without getting frustrated and giving up. If you can't do calculus, then solving the even harder problems in physics and engineering is going to be nearly impossible.

However, should Calculus be the hurdle that nearly everyone has to jump over to get a degree even if they don't really need it? I honestly don't know. There are probably better ones now with computer algebra systems entering the fray. Then again, having calculators hasn't removed the need to learn times tables. We should certainly change the way we teach Calculus though. The current setup is horrible.
Fair enough, but language history certainly didn't make them any better at it. And memorizing details can be a lot harder and thus more demotivating. It surely can't get much worse if they actually tried teaching kids to write better non-prose.
I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out why actions weren’t running for my PR. Almost lost my marbles until I saw another PR in a different repo also not running actions and I decided to check the GitHub status page. It feels like there should be some sorta warning or alert on GitHub.com when there’s an outage of a component of the site.

Not sure if there's a way to do it instantly, but one way is to just run a find command in a cron job every X hours:

Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond. This is how I interpreted the situation as well.

What complicates matters is that the product name is a registered trademark, and the holding company also has patented the tool. I raised these concerns with my management but they still want to proceed, so I saved well the written confirmation. We'll be using the tool internally, no plans to sell it.
Nothing of the sort; it's due to the worsening condition to run a business in China, namely the abrupt shutdown of electricity to factories, abrupt covid shutdown of factories and loss of output while still needing to pay out wages, and worsening economic conditions. you can see some of that in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPptD2eBgwo. In this video, a factory owner complains of an abrupt and unannounced electricity halt leading to machinery stopping in mid operation, and another factory owner crying that she has paid out 1M in wages after having to take a 3M loan out, and having so much unsold inventory.
Totally not an overreaction.
It did occur to me that my ask is being delivered to someone in no position to say yes. Thank you for helping me organize my thoughts though.
Hmm, I still see the errors, though.
I think that the difference in perspectives is seeing pessimism/optimism as just a mood valance. In a sense, it takes some pessimism to even perceive that problems exist. Purified optimism would see every kind of evidence as good and interesting and every possible outcome as rosy.

These are spectra, and neither extreme is "correct" and rooted in objective reality. Pessimism/optimism can be decoupled from other axes like ignorance/knowledge, acceptance/denial, awareness/delusion, etc. Assuming "climate change is happening" as fact, someone might exhibit climate change denial for any number of reasons. These are just illustrative sketches, not an effort to build some taxonomy of beliefs:

Ignorance: someone may be unable to comprehend the complicated climate system concepts, statistical concepts, nor noisy data.

Cynical pessimism: someone may believe it is happening and unavoidable, but they want to minimize their own inconvenience or discomfort prior to the end game.

Blind optimism: someone may just harbor a profound faith that things will work out in the end; to them, the people trying to address climate change seem like toxic pessimists who harbor delusions of grandeur!
No disagreement, but that fact doesn't make a proportional tax regressive.
I think it’s increasingly likely that technology change will not be fast enough to offset the worst effects of climate change due to the non-linearities in the process, including things like vicious cycles (melting permafrost causing massive methane leaks) and tipping points.

I also don’t think most people anticipate the political instability that will result from hundreds of millions of people needing to move.
That's awesome! Edit: So they would have existing art to work off of for a Hubble mission. Neat!
I agree it's frustrating for the people who still answer their phones. I'm just saying that spam calls may not be the primary reason the phone call is becoming useless. As comparison, fax machines did get a lot of spam, and there are still people who depend on faxing. But spam is not the primary reason fax machines died out.
Text is universal because it's language, but it's not always the optimum interface.

Try pointing to a person deep in a large crowd versus using language. Language is also inexact and open to interpretation. Often simpler "direct" interfaces are more effective.
Agreed for the most part.

If we were to be extra generous, then the audio and visuals in minecraft could be a toy case of training an agent with a multimodal sensorium (can the agent avoid enemies sneaking up on them using sound cues, find mobs based on sounds, know lava is nearby by the bubbling etc.).

In this case though the agent is given just RGB pixels and some structured data about their inventory, a small number of nearby voxels, their health etc.

You'd have to be very generous to call structured data like that and some RGB pixels a multi-modal embodied agent though.

> The polaris dawn mission is planned to use starship, and will aim to do the first private EVA. And the hubble boost mission would also use starship. So it’s definitely a possibility!

I think you're a bit confused.

Polaris Dawn is the 1st of 3 missions, and it will be using a Crew Dragon capsule.

The Hubble boost mission is the 2nd mission; I suppose it's possible that it could be using Starship, but there's no word so far that it's likely. Currently, the 2nd mission is planning on using Crew Dragon and docking to Hubble with a device located in the trunk.

It's the 3rd mission that's planned to use Starship.

It's true. But then also it isn't. Sprints (or Scrum) are useful when trying to force an Agile process within an organization that isn't Agile. If you're working in a true Agile company there's no need for sprints (or Scrum).
Probably only 6 months until we get this in stable diffusion format. Things are about to get nuts and awesome.

"This payload, known as the Data Acquisition Unit (DAQ), contained two accelerometers, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer, along with sensors to track pressure, temperature, and humidity."

I don't care what the solid-state sensors can survive. It's pointless if it doesn't get into orbit, and you can't do that without putting a rocket engine on it. Rocket engines are mechanical, and very sensitive to deformation. It won't be as bad if you can get mostly beyond the atmosphere first, but applying 10^4 gs to it is going to be damn hard on just about anything macroscopic you apply to it.

Without a rocket motor it's just an expensive alternative to a weather balloon.

Imagine having studied tons of literature for your thesis and then ending up in a industry that uses the same terms, except with half of them with a meaning that is incompatible with what you learned, but in a subtle manner.
> Start by reading about docker and docker compose. You will have almost everything in docker containers.

The case for Docker if you don't care about containerization or any of that per se is:

1) It's basically a very-up-to-date cross-distro package & service manager for Linux servers. You can ignore a ton of stuff about your underlying distro if you use Docker, and can use a very stable LTS Ubuntu or stable Debian or whatever and still have recent versions of the services you care about, more easily than you can without it. Anything you learn about managing Docker will transfer to any other distro.

2) It makes backups and recovery of the exact same services (including same versions) easy by default. Most packages are forced by its nature to make important data directories explicit, you can map those wherever you like on your host system's filesystem, and it's very easy to test whether you're backing up all the stuff you need for recovery from scratch (destroy and recreate the container—if you've mapped all the directories you ought to, it'll look exactly the same, nothing missing or broken, when it comes back up). Back up your mapped directories from various containers (since you can define where these live, this may be as simple as backing up a single directory), backup the docker-compose.yml or shell scripts or whatever you're using to define and start up your services, and that's just about everything.
So more expensive products and less jobs because of automation.

Next economic crisis here we come.
Sometimes. In the case of matrix multiplication, there is a pretty large backlog of "galactic algorithms" going down to ~O(n^2.373) that haven't yet led to real-world improvements. Strassen's ~O(n^2.807) algorithm is only considered over the basic O(n^3) strategy for n>1000.
I went to a restaurant on University Ave in Palo Alto and was unpleasantly surprised to find that they tack on a credit card fee, which they don't tell you about. I only know about the fee because I happened to realize that the amount I was rung up for differed (by more than the sales tax amount) from the amount displayed in the subtotal. They assume everyone is paying credit so if you decide to pay cash they have to back up the transaction and re-run it without the extra charge. That tells me that virtually all of their customers pay credit, and probably very few are aware that they are paying this surcharge.

I understand the desire to pass on costs to relevant customers, as this is fairer to cash purchasers. But it is not OK to hide the ball and secretly surcharge the vast majority of your customers, who pay with credit.
The short answer is yes. There are multiple tools that let you do this.

My personal favorite tool for this is Kubewarden[1] because its policies are web assembly. There is a specific policy just for verifying signatures[2].

That example is indeed pretty noisy, but partly due to my premature optimization. The operations of adding, editing, and toggling Todo items are all O(log N)[1]. Things could be simpler if I’d just take the O(N).

[1] O(log N) for “our” code. I don’t know what the browser’s rendering/layouting engine is doing.

In general Async UI will still be noisier than SwiftUI or React, but I hope only in the way that Rust is more explicit/verbose than other languages.
A high pass filter is essentially a RC filter in which the resistor part can be the speaker coil, so one only needs two capacitors, one per channel, which would cost a lot less than $0.50 in small quantities (example: Vishay ZSC00BM2211AARL, 220 uF - 10Vdc: €0.14100 in 10 quantity at tme.eu, a lot less in 100 or 500 qty).
The problem however is either the amplifier ic which is too powerful, or the speaker itself being too weak to sustain its power. That would be bad design though; one should never assume the signal won't contain certain frequencies; it's good practice to pick a speaker that can sustain at least twice the maximum amplifier power indefinitely, and even more during peaks, regardless of what frequencies are reproduced.
This is a very good argument for why Ruby should never be used for production systems, and neither should Javascript without using Typescript.
In my experience, it seems like most spam calls that I receive are using a spoofed number over VOIP. Reporting the number as spam, basically reports the number they are spoofing, rather than the people making the call. Is that correct? Will this new action have any effect on these spoofed VOIP calls? It seems like there is no way for people receiving these calls to report these callers without having the carriers recording the source IP addresses of these calls. I don't know all of the inner-workings of the phone network, so maybe I am making incorrect assumptions.

Thanks for sharing, good advice in here.
All you need to do is follow the money. Someone is paying for that call, cheap as it may be. And there is no way the telcos would allow anyone to spoof that.
I dont see how they can increase this any more. If they increase anymore it will literally be every other post is an ad. Unless its consecutive ad posts. Either way its bad for the end user.

You're literally citing big oil executives:

> Despite this, three former top officials, who have never spoken publicly before, said the industry promoted recycling as a way to beat back a growing tide of antipathy toward plastic.

And in doing so they get to repeat their "plastic recycling doesn't work" rhetoric.

As soon as you force the producers to pay for disposal and let them figure out how best to do it, recycling suddenly, magically becomes the cheapest option.

Define text. Pure ASCII or Unicode? If Unicode, how much Unicode should be allowed? How do you identify the end of a Unicode text stream, other than closing the input stream (or explicitly waiting for a out-of-band signal like a form submission)?
one way is with ANI abuse.

the 2nd is abusing callID transmitters and protocol.
i think the 2nd way may have been mitigated.
it was kinda like butting into line before anyone notices.

if you've ever had a call when your at the phone, and you see a brief flash of a number, that instantly changes to another number, this 2nd method is likely in play

Yeah, after like a decade or more of inattention. Even if they somehow block all robocalls, it's going to be years before people begin to trust their phones again, if ever.

They (telecoms and regulators, all) really screwed up hard on this one. I have to wonder who really benefitted from this broken status quo, besides the spammers themselves.
I'm not saying Krugman is a charlatan, but answering the question "how can a Nobel prize winner be a charlatan."

It's possible that someone wins a Nobel prize, and then maybe a decade or two later) turns into a charlatan. I think Linus Pauling could be an example: Two Nobel prizes, but later in life he was known for promoting crackpot theories about massive doses of Vitamin C being a miracle cure for cancer. Clinical studies failed to confirm this, and it is regarded as quackery.

I don't think that's being overly skeptical. It's been known that as labor prices increase, companies move factories to cheaper locations. Seam-sealed technical jackets used to be made in China, but now they're made in Vietnam. If prices in Vietnam rise to a certain point, companies will look at less developed countries.

But to ktta's point, another reason Apple did this was to minimize the Indian tariffs.

If your regularly running against sprint deadlines something is broken in either your planning or estimates. Either your trying to cram too much into a sprint or for some reason your regularly estimating tasks as significantly easier than they are.

Pat's nothing special.

He came in with "put the band back together" vibes and yet earlier this year cut $4B from fab build-out allocation to pay a whacking great dividend to shareholders (of which he's probably a fairly sizeable one) and the market, who hates Intel, repayed this by tanking their share price.

Intel are a fat cat and welfare queen at the same time.

For almost everyone in the corporate world who is having to put up with a constant flood of upper management spiel about OKR's - if they're so great why did Intel absolutely balls up their bordering on unassailable lead to relying on the US government to give them any kind of future?
