OT but Bloomberg sucks. You can tell that they’re a monopoly by the fact that they haven’t innovated beyond what was an excellent terminal in the 90/00s. Now they’re just using market position to squeeze people for rent.
Startup with 6 levels of management? What kind of a startup is this? In my experience, working in startups for a couple of decades, this is nothing like normal.
In every commercial setting I’ve been involved with, something has gone very wrong if you’re swapping, since you spec the system for the use case, rather than a fraction of it. You’ll still have the logs to debug whatever went wrong. What problems do you see?
The web emulator has to be the best part of the project. It makes debugging and testing so much easier!

Doctors: Oh no, we cut too much!
My first impression of OP’s post was that it’s not going to be supported by corporate culture. Optimizing for quarterly profit isn’t going to align with an employee optimizing for personal excellence.

> Dissection is also made more difficult when a cadaver carries more fat—the dissector has to cut through the layers of fatty tissue to reach the body's organs.

Making this particular accommodation has consequences: surgeons turn fat patients away because they don't know how to operate on them. Surgeons can be quite rude in the delivery of that decision, to the point of fat-shaming. While the policy itself might have short-term bona fide reasons, tables can be made bigger and students could be gaining experience with gantries used to move large patients. The medical industry is making perfect the enemy of good in refusing to care for fat patients, and refusing fat cadavers is just one aspect of that.

I am (was??) an ultra runner and startup founder, and I love this type of approach to work and life. If you're going to put hours into things, why not try to make it your best?

To be clear, I suck at ultrarunning -- I can do 100km runs but I usually place near the end. What I love about it is that nearly anyone can run an ultra if they simply train long enough... It's why I call my personal performance blog "10 Million Steps" -- if you do enough steps, you can usually do an ultra (barring any deeper health issues). It's almost always about consistency... and I bet you are a better SWE than you are willing to admit because you sound very consistent. :)

A lot of professional coaches come from this space. I highly recommend following Steve Magness[1] and Brad Stulberg[2] on Twitter...

Took me a while to understand how he was able to "push" the lines to top/bottom/left/right of a character until I re-read the article, biggest take away for me:

> Unicode contains one eighth vertical and horizontal blocks which are fantastic for displaying terminal progress bars with apparently higher "resolution" that a single character.
My perceptions contradict this article: (1) The technology is progressing faster than is generally recognized, with vehicles getting progressively better at dealing with edge cases and handling failures gracefully. (2) Judging by the videos I've watched online, Tesla is significantly ahead of everyone else.

We must be watching different videos. And experiencing Teslas differently. I see Teslas constantly slamming on their breaks on freeways, swerving across lanes, and avoiding collisions by the narrowest margins only because their owners took control before certain death. And that's just driving around in L.A. traffic, the YouTube videos are even worse. Tesla's vaunted camera-based system still can't recognize white semis or other broad, flat obstacles that a human or radar-based system would recognize instantly.

Tesla was ahead of their competitors, several years ago. Now they're way behind, and dropping further behind with every "update" that addresses the problems that got media coverage with "solutions" that indicate brittle, manual programmer overrides rather than any sort of scalable AI-driven capability.

And it's irrelevant that Tesla has 160,000 drivers on the road "training" the system, since they selected the drivers who drive in the safest road conditions using a "safe driver" metric that has no relationship to safe driving. This means that Tesla's "AI" (to the extent it can be called that) is being overwhelmed with tons of useless data that overtrains it to drive easy roads and with almost no training for difficult conditions or edge cases. For point of comparison, most vehicles today with advanced cruise control can drive the same roads that FSD can safely drive...but they don't need advanced AI to do it.

It doesn't matter how far ahead you were at the beginning of the race, it matters how far ahead you are at the finish line.
The argument would have to be that Google was using Chrome itself to track you in Incognito because they controlled the browser, otherwise they are just “websites you visit.”
Why would no bigco use a project licensed under ELv2? It seems permissive for most use cases, as far as I understand it.
Thanks for sharing the Timex link! I have a soft spot for hybrid analog-digital tech like that but I think a Bluetooth module (if you can figure out the antenna situation) only turned on at a certain watch face (plus a sequence of key presses) is probably the best compromise and shouldn’t be too draining if it’s fully powered down otherwise.

Other radio tech might be an even better option would need a transceiver on the PC side as well, so might not be worth it depending on how often you would be using this feature.

> huge difference between how easy it is to manipulate someone who grew up with ubiquitous marketing vs. someone that did not.

That is an absurd assertion and you are showing an incredible amount of hubris if you think you are somehow "harder to manipulate because you've grown up with ubiquitous marketing".
Most surprising thing is that you cannot use too much heat. Filament melts too early and sticks to the walls of the feeding tube.

This is very particular problem if you have high-heat extruder and you want to use low-heat PLA plastic. Even if you adjust the printing temperature right, all the other functions are for high-heat, and so the PLA sticks and clogs when you are feeding it in.
The only thing that's unclear to me, is whether Google is doing this through Chrome (despite Incognito mode), or whether they're doing it via the websites users visit (e.g. via Google Analytics embedded there). The former would be a lot more damning, but it kinda of sounds like it's the latter that they're being sued for? (See also https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-11/google-s-....)

When you see a wrestler blading or doing a bump, it is still painful. Probably not as painful as it looks, but still painful.
What weirds me out is that I experienced regular pain in various part of my brain. Not migraines, more like post traumatic sensations with very acute painful areas (front, back, side, center..). Is this only blood vessel nociceptors ?
In my experience Google engineers often know best what BS the company is selling. A few people drink the koolaid. But it’s your job so you think about the BS a lot and can reach an informed decision.

To be clear I don’t think this lawsuit has much merit. But the marketer’s concerns are valid.
I used to work extensively with the NIST radioisotope SRMs. I particularly remember working with SRM 4965a (https://shop.nist.gov/ccrz__ProductDetails?sku=4965a&cclcl=e...).

My wife was very worried when I told her that I'd be working with radioactive hydrochloric acid. Technically, that is what it is, but the acid is very dilute and the radioactivity is very low. It sure sounds dangerous though!

I had to repackage it into a new container so that I could contain and draw off the radon gas, but still have the capsule remain wet so that the emanation rate would stay constant. My low-tech solution was to put a wet sponge in the chamber, so that the air would remain saturated with water vapor but that the condensation would not dilute the acid. It worked great for about 10 years. I passed that source on to another company, it might be working still. Radium sources tend to be rather long-lasting.
So the short answer is no
Others have explained, but what I've heard from a brain surgeon on TV: it's extremely delicate and they don't always know how deep they can go, so they probe bit by bit and when they notice it's having an effect they stop. The surgeon I listened to was also a gifted storyteller, it was very very impressive and inspiring. That's really a hell of a job.

Around 10 comments in this thread and not one remembers or points out that 94% effectiveness was for OG covid or whatever was circulating at the time. Then came delta, then came omicron. It's a different virus now (both in severity and ability to evade the vaccine).
From a quick search of news at the time, it does seem like it was a bit more nuanced than I remembered, but probably still confusing enough for the average person that they wouldn't really know what was best. I found this PBS article from the end of March 2020 (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/should-you-wear-mask-in-...), which showed a spectrum of recommendations:

> “Seriously people – STOP BUYING MASKS!” Surgeon General Jerome Adams wrote in a February 29 tweet. “They are not effective in preventing general public from catching #Coronavirus but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk.”

> Earlier in the day, Dr. Anthony Fauci, infectious disease chief at the U.S. National Institutes of Health, had told CNN that once there are enough masks, there might be “some very serious consideration” about broadening the mask recommendations.

> For now, the advice posted on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website: “If you are NOT sick: You do not need to wear a face mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick (and they are not able to wear a face mask).”

The first quote makes it clear that the concern is about the supply for healthcare, but saying "they are not effective in preventing the general public from catching coronavirus" probably did not make it easier to convince people to wear masks a couple months later; regardless of the technical meaning behind it, I think most people would read that and boil it down to just remembering "masks don't help" without the context behind it. On the other hand, while the final quote doesn't go as far as saying they don't help, it doesn't give the context about the priority in conserving masks for healthcare facilities, so it seems likely some people would find it confusing later when the recommendation changed without context for why. Ideally, people would be getting information from a variety of sources, see some form of all three quotes above and understand the whole picture, but it seems like a losing strategy to rely on this; it seems like having more cohesive messaging around this would have been more effective, but that's hard to do even in a vaccuum, let alone in a high pressure situation with a bunch of people who probably never had had to collaborate this heavily before.
I'm mad just imagining trying to play the tiniest social deduction game.
> These snapshots are updated daily through a pipeline that involves taking an LVM snapshot of production data, anonymizing the dataset by stripping all personal data, and transferring it via rsync to the development database servers.

I don’t know what sort of data these people process, but most datasets about people are not anonymized by simply removing the PII.
Show HN: America – Road Trip Simulator
APIs are a little like the open road—always waiting, full of opportunity, but hardly utilized. So here’s America, composed of several APIs that paint a vivid, real-time picture of a good old-fashioned road trip. Get local classifieds and photos. Tune into local radio stations. Talk wit other drivers. And more.

Exploring the country by car was an invaluable experience for me during my time in the states. I’ve since moved to Barcelona, and find myself missing the territory. This is my attempt at recreating the magic.

This was written about Feb 8 2017, when Github changed their license to require ANY content to be dual-licensed to the following:

Solely to allow us to provide the Service and to host

User:nsqe said they helped write it and said they would "revise it to clear up confusion". Naturally, that was never done.

Instead, I would argue that this change was what allowed them to monetize so much open source under various licenses into their own proprietary "forever license". That's what makes Copilot actually doable.

And naturally, if you migrated code to GH, then it's your 'fault' for not recognizing that any uploads to GH forever-dual license.
So this lawsuit is just concern trolling? Nobody is actually upset about the feature itself, some people are just taking the worst faith interpretation that nobody irl actually has and pretending to be mad about it?
Good to see the younger generation pushing for this.
Reaper is a fine DAW, and there are many fine DAWs. For the most part, which DAW is better for a given user depends a great deal on their prior experience, specific expectations and likely workflow. Neither Ardour nor REAPER are "better" than the other - they are different, and some people will love one and hate the other. More typically, some people will find a particular workflow that they use cumbersome in one of the DAWs and easier in another.

If you'd like, you can listen to myself (lead dev of Ardour) spend 2.5hrs chatting with Justin Frankel (lead dev of Reaper). It won't do much to answer your specific question, but might reveal that the similarities in our development processes and history and goals are much broader than you might expect: http://adc.equalarea.com/2022/02/07/adc1/

If you're a user of Ardour, why would our choice of GUI toolkit have much impact on your use of the program?

Actually, it's weaker than the guest mode because a guest doesn't get any local identity to represent a user at the first moment. The incognito mode may take some insensitive configurations in their user profile mostly for convenience but in an isolated manner. I think it still could be named better like "private mode" used in some other localization, though.
It's becoming clear that with all the brain and consciousness theories out there, the proof will be in the pudding. By this I mean, can any particular theory be used to create a human adult level conscious machine. My bet is on the late Gerald Edelman's Extended Theory of Neuronal Group Selection. The lead group in robotics based on this theory is the Neurorobotics Lab at UC at Irvine. Dr. Edelman distinguished between primary consciousness, which came first in evolution, and that humans share with other conscious animals, and higher order consciousness, which came to only humans with the acquisition of language. A machine with primary consciousness will probably have to come first.

What I find special about the TNGS is the Darwin series of automata created at the Neurosciences Institute by Dr. Edelman and his colleagues in the 1990's and 2000's. These machines perform in the real world, not in a restricted simulated world, and display convincing physical behavior indicative of higher psychological functions necessary for consciousness, such as perceptual categorization, memory, and learning. They are based on realistic models of the parts of the biological brain that the theory claims subserve these functions. The extended TNGS allows for the emergence of consciousness based only on further evolutionary development of the brain areas responsible for these functions, in a parsimonious way. No other research I've encountered is anywhere near as convincing.

I post because on almost every video and article about the brain and consciousness that I encounter, the attitude seems to be that we still know next to nothing about how the brain and consciousness work; that there's lots of data but no unifying theory. I believe the extended TNGS is that theory. My motivation is to keep that theory in front of the public. And obviously, I consider it the route to a truly conscious machine, primary and higher-order.

My advice to people who want to create a conscious machine is to seriously ground themselves in the extended TNGS and the Darwin automata first, and proceed from there, by applying to Jeff Krichmar's lab at UC Irvine, possibly. Dr. Edelman's roadmap to a conscious machine is at https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.10461

Legal doesn't want to deal with it, and many bigcos do operate their own clouds which paves the way for future conflict and lawsuits.

The industry titans are enormous, so there's a lot of process and very difficult to get changes approved, especially for the likes of a single snowflake such as ES.
Just about the only think I use swap for on Linux, is not bombing out during the fork/exec (even for something like a system call) from large processes. Back when I last looked, it appeared they need enough backable virtual address space, even when they don't use it. The filesystem swap seems good enough for that.
Society decides what is acceptable by making it acceptable. Universities used to not have wheelchair ramps; a similar provocative title in those days may have been "Americans can't walk well enough to learn". The reason people couldn't access those buildings was a straightforward _physical_ reason yet it was still a deliberate choice to make those buildings accessible to people who could walk and inaccessible to those who could not.

When a medical school purchases tables, a decision must be made as to what kinds of corpses it will accommodate, and the decision has been made that 200lb, 6' is the limit. That choice could have been different.

For the record, I don't think this instance is fat-shaming, for the reason that the bodies were donated with the goal of advancing science in some nebulous way, not specifically to be dissected at a medical school. So the cost of buying an expanded table may prevent the school from buying a different, more useful piece of equipment, and it's probably not directly going against the person's wishes.
Because that would require the programmer do something explicit to deal with a runtime edgecase they fundamentally don’t have the context to decide the right course of action on?

Especially if it’s a library or the like?

That infrequent call might be key for program stability in one context or pointless (garbage collector whatever- key in a major server program, pointless in a toy app).

The moral of the story is, if under load code or data gets moved from where access is fast (RAM) to where it is slow ( even SSD and most NVMe counts here) then gets accessed when under load? It makes the problem much worse.
