The cat food fine chopped meat style is the original and best IMHO but that’s probably because I grew up eating it.

Newer BBQ places have a version of it I think you will like better. Chunks of meat and tomatoes versus cat food style meat. It’s usually not as thick and has more of a broth.
It doesn't make economic sense to automate trains and airplanes because 1. Much smaller part of the cost and 2. Very high stakes.

Driving is high stakes too of course but two orders of magnitude less so.

That said, we are seeing massive amounts of money being made in ADAS systems (Tesla FSD, MobilEye) while robotaxi plays are losing billions. Self driving cars will grow out of increasingly capable ADAS systems rather than robotaxis because they are already profitable and there's a gradual path to full autonomy. In the coming recession I expect most robotaxi companies to go under (Argo being the first yesterday), with Waymo being perhaps the only player left. Even Waymo may have to reduce spending quite a bit if Google is facing headwinds.
Ford Makes Big Announcement
Of course it's a tomb. You have the mortuary temple out in front of it, with texts telling you exactly what it is. It fits in stylistically with mastabas, step pyramids, and true pyramids that come before and after that are unquestionably tombs.

Old Kingdom mummies don't tend to survive, probably due to a combination of their extreme age, the still-developing mummification process, how uncommon mummification was in that period, and that mummified bodies were targets for looting given the precious objects that could be found on them and in their wrappings. That a sarcophagus is empty that has been open since time immemorial in a tomb that has been known to be looted in antiquity is utterly unsurprising.
This is an incredible article. If you've never tried to bring up a circuit board before with embedded Linux, this is exactly what it is like.

This is difficult to read. The author confuses nouns and proper nouns and isn't clear about who it is they're referring to (who are the neo-liberals, for instance?).

I understand that not everyone is as good at writing as others, but it really doesn't take much effort to ask someone to proofread.

Otherwise, this is a good start, even though it lacks details and examples.
I would be happy to produce something that ended up in there. At least it would serve an educational purpose :)
Meat is a combination of finely chopped with few chunks, more shredded really than anything. When I get home I'll see if I can find that recipe. I certainly don't mind sharing. :)

See : the spying allegation issues by the US against a French CEO of Alstom. He went straight to jail.

It’s fairly commonly recognized it’s was a ploy to force the sell of Alstom to GE, as opposed to a Chinese joint venture
> If this decision was driven by concern about the median customer paying more than their fair share, there would be a corresponding reduction in price

That's not a logically sound. Adobe may have decided they can only continue to support the current price-point by reducing costs, for example.
This is actually pretty cool, Apple ought to do more stuff like this. The iCloud portal was one of those few things that really clicked for me when I was in the Apple ecosystem, and it's nice to see them give it a more capable face-lift for the coming years. The cloud-hosting-convenience market is the lowest of low-stakes battles, but it will still be interesting to see how other groupware like Nextcloud and Office365 proves their worth in the coming years.

If I was Microsoft, I'd be looking at bundling a bunch of Azure-backed SaaS with your Office365 subscription to keep it looking competitive. Both of these companies have unique angles to chase here, if you're willing to look past the various issues with storing sensitive PII on remote servers. Still though; bravo Apple.
Call me selfish but I don’t make much of a distinction since there’s a good chance me and everyone I know are dead.
In the case of Blockbuster, it's reasonable to argue that they should have at least taken advantage of their brand (and relationships) to get into the DVD rental by mail business which would have, relatively speaking, not been a big stretch. Though phasing out retail would have been disruptive.

Of course, streaming was a whole different game. (As would be original content.) And it's not like Netflix is looking especially robust at the moment.
Hot take: there is overlap between Dojo (Tesla’s self driving ML system they feed data into to tune “FSD” models) and ingesting Tweets and signal to automate content moderation.

How good will it be? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ DALL-E is pretty good, let’s see where this goes.
Usually bottom line efficiency (less surface area to maintain, fewer staff needed etc) drives action more than a long tail of user value. Don’t ask about use case value ask about business value. Don’t like it, well I agree but don’t be surprised that companies aren’t a project to deliver value to humanity.
In my observations it’s the reverse. Windows font rendering looks ok to me (if a bit “off”) on my laptop with 1.5x UI scale, but underwhelming at 1.x. At 1.x fonts look badly kerned and a bit misshapen, and that cleans itself up quite a bit at 1.x and beyond.

macOS and Linux rendering looking better to me regardless of render scale. Good kerning and no beating font glyphs into odd shapes to fit a pixel grid on screens with pixel density high enough that it isn’t necessary (we’re not running 1024x768 LCDs any more).
OK, I'll count burnt rusted iron as consumed. But we were talking about steel.

You are referring to Alstom guy right ?
Straight up kidnapping indeed.
This is a great article with nice examples, and I like the "high resolution" vs. "low resolution" concept.

But it leaves off the other side of the equation: know your audience.

If your audience wants to read a long, detailed communication, then that's great and you should write a "high resolution" message.

If your audience has little time available and no real need to know the details, then the "low resolution" message is much more effective.

The real trick is learning how to pack exactly what the reader needs to know into a "low resolution" message.
Don't really care. This has been "news" for too damn long and it will continue to be.

Twitter has both positively and negatively affected my life. I'm okay with whatever happens, I can't complain. If it gets bad, I'll stop using it. If it gets better, I'll start using it.
I do not remember best in a class products / technologies often winning a race. It is mostly decided by suits for totally different reasons.
Fascinating that the OP compares Twitter to “living at Disney World”! I can’t stand the obviously fake facades and carefully curated costumes and fake smiles at Disney in large doses and never understood the mindset that could drive adults to want to live full-time at the park.

Twitter addiction has wasted the best minds of my generation and if it implodes and takes Musk with it… win-win!

And if Tesla engineers are working on content moderation for Twitter I think a few Tesla share holders would be interested in why they're bankrolling Musk's other enterprises.
> Twitter is already about as free as it's possible to be without permitting a whole bunch of content that is NOT protected under the first amendment

This is just wildly untrue. There is a huge range of gender-critical views, vaccine skepticism, any combination of race/gender/genetics/IQ discourse, and a ton of other topics that will get you banned, that come nowhere near first amendment protections.

You might think that's a good thing, that's a valid argument, but it's simply untrue to imply that the limit is similar to 1A protections.
They are both immoral
I'm not sure if Musk's goal is to make Twitter profitable or to make some sort of ideological point.
Indeed, I suspect most computer engineering students have done some level of CPU design in their coursework. I rather enjoy the design process, and have done many different designs over the years in an attempt to learn about different optimization and design decisions. I typically do something on paper first, then in some simulation, and sometimes into HDL an on an FPGA, or in some cases discrete logic.

I recently did a very simple 16 instruction/16 register RISC-like design (no microcode) built using just 74xx series logic which was successful at over 10MHz, and I then took that design and implemented it in CPLDs to see how it would compress. It really is an enjoyable process and a nice change from the daily software engineering tasks.

Napkin CPU design should be table topic at your next dinner!
Speaking of alternative, power supplies for watches One day I'd like to see a paper thin watch that goes around your wrist and runs on the temperature differential between your body temp and air temp, using the peltier effect for example.
What questions should I ask a prospective engineering manager in an interview?
I've had three engineering managers so far, and all three I would not consider technical. None of them had any experience writing any code in the languages and frameworks we worked in. I think none them have even done any web development. Despite that, two of the three had major opinions on our coding standards (whether or not to do testing, whether or not to refactor, etc.).

I'm not opposed to the engineering manager having such opinions, but it would be stellar if they could speak at least somewhat intelligently about what my day-to-day job even looks like.

What kind of questions can I ask that can help me vet a prospective manager? What kind of answers should I look for to those questions?
The problem with opening with "> X is hard to do in Elixir, any ideas?" is that it shuts down any conversation about X. You've decided it's hard, but what if you're wrong? What if you could avoid X entirely by doing Y? What if the context around X makes it also hard to do in Next? Adding a little bit of context really helps open conversations.

There are also models on Amazon that use the N5105 that are passively cooled. I havn't used one, so I'm not sure if there is any throttling going on with those models.
I've just assumed this is the new version of buying media outlets. Bezos bought the Washington Post, Musk decided to buy Twitter. I'm sure it won't be long before Musk hating gets you kicked off the platform.
My brother worked in tech support at a Christian college. People would come in with a PC that wasn't working. He would look at it thoughfuly for a few moments, then, in a loud voice and great dramatic flair would say "Demon, Be Gone" and smash his hands into the keyboard (carefully, such that he was actually hitting control-alt-delete-- but you wouldn't notice this because of the acting).

the computer would shut down, reboot, and he would look at them and cheerfully and calmly say "All better now. You can go home."
> That’s like someone who has no idea how to cook leaving a bad review for food they could never hope to improve on.

I agree it's like that but disagree there's a problem with that. Ultimately it's the consumers that are the judges if it's a business.
Out of curiosity, what I would be jailbreaking? My x86-64 motherboard that I can boot any OS I want onto?
As a consumer, I'd prefer competition to exist, so that I don't pay 10x higher markup on digital payments for no reason other than Apple being able to get away with extortion and price gouging.

Apple forbids informing users about the extra cost they're paying for using IAP.

Apple forbids informing users that any competing payment method may exist anywhere else.

Apple forbids having cheaper prices elsewhere.
Part of the utility of Pantone is not just the color spec but the physical samples they produce that are the actual specifications and standards. They make color swatches and cards so that you can see for sure what everyone else will (try) to produce when you say "make this accent piece Pantone 13459 with a matte finish and this bit over here Pantone 9329 with a glossy finish." The utility isn't 100% just in the standard but also in producing those physical instantiations so designers and artists can KNOW what color they're actually specifying and can see it in different lights not just on a screen that might not fully replicate the color.

Making all those samples is tougher to do with an open standard, you'd need some certification body/process for a company to make for people to use to satisfy a similar niche as Pantone.
I'm good at what I do and am most prolific when given a complex task and the time/space to do it. It's not about being a shut in, I just prefer to socialize about what you have planned for the weekend when I reach a stopping point.
India to create panels with veto power over social media content moderation

It doesn't matter whether it is customary. I live about 200km away from where the author is, I have never paid a bribe in my life, and I never will. They make you sweat it out for 4-5 months and then eventually it gets done.
> That’s like someone who has no idea how to cook leaving a bad review for food they could never hope to improve on

Ignoring the context of the article, I don’t believe that the example you’ve given here is really fair. It’s perfectly valid to review something which you could not create. If we excluded that whole category, then reviews would mostly cease to exist, and only peer review would be possible.
Twitter censors legal mainstream political opinions. Society can't discuss or resolve issues because half of every argument gets blocked.

I'm convinced half the polarization in America comes from neither side understanding the other side's basic arguments.
> Theory: modern art was promoted by the wealthy [...] because it eliminates the ability of the artist to engage in potentially threatening or disturbing social or political commentary.

At the least, abstract expression was promoted in Europe in order to fight communism. It was "freer" than socialist realism (Stalin felt the same way about art as Hitler), and as you said, has no content.

edit: abstract expression is literally purely authoritarian art. Its value fully lies in the arbitrary statements that authorities make about it. I'd love to see abstract expressionist art fans tested on written art critiques: all they would have to do is read the critique, and guess whether the person who wrote it had ever seen the piece being critiqued. No chance it would be more than a coinflip.
Looked into it and seems worth a try somewhere in the future. The active community of Raspberry Pi users everywhere online helped me tremendously while setting up and troubleshooting my RPi, that was definitely a consideration to stick with RPi.
Of course, the timing depends on the usage pattern. In our case we write a lot to the disks, which means they fail faster. Time to failure also depends on manufacturer, batch, server conditions... But in general I wouldn't trust too much that have been continuously running under a significant load (I don't think a Netflix cache server had a lot of idle time) for so many years.
They're only useful for reading things out of memory, not writing. So it's not immediately obvious how you would use them to jailbreak a machine?
While I agree with the author on many things, this one upset me:

> fucking government... They’re out here banning books, Elon!

I don't believe that repeating a lie will make it true. The government is not banning any books, Nilay. Parents do. And not globally, but at a local level.
It's another question whether they should or not, but I'd expect more precision and integrity from a prominent journalist. Most people don't fact check everything and if they learn something from a reputable source, they believe it.

This is the effect it had on me, reading it in college. It was the first time I'd seen such a mental journey, and it meshed almost perfectly with how my mind was working at the time: that kind of vocally articulated walk through a series of connected ideas. Mainly it told me it was okay to do so, to get deeply into my head and follow my reasoning and observations and just work through it all.

I got a degree in philosophy because of that book, in which I came to understand that Pirsig's project around "quality" was an idiosyncratic mashup of zen and western perspectives. I still loved the book and reread it several times. For a certain overly cerebral person, it's a balm and a respite.
Thanks! Interesting -- the top post (156 points, 102 comments, from 14 hours ago) is now ranked #191, you have to go to page 7. Stories don't normally sink that quickly.

In contrast, for example, currently "Artificial Intelligence: The Revolution Hasn’t Happened Yet (2018)" is 68 points from 13 hours ago with 79 comments... and is ranked #41, on the 2nd page. Similarly, "What Is Code? (2015)" is 104 points, 37 comments, 14 hours ago, and ranked #46. This is normal ranking.

So clearly the mods intentionally applied a penalty ranking here (happens all the time) because they don't want it staying on the front page, where it would be seen and keep attracting upvotes and comments. Honestly wouldn't have guessed they'd want to dissuade discussion on this story.
I’m quite fond of that sketch.

Conversely people thought it would take another 50 years to solve something like the game of Go which Deepmind cracked in a few years.
Not if its 1/4th the machine.

These jasper lake/etc machines are usually between $100 and $200 new and are a much better deal than an 8G rpi, even at MSRP for a laundry list of reasons starting with they are much more capable machines.

Look for chuwi herobox, beelink, etc

The pi's were priced right when they were $35, because adding storage, case, RTC hat, powersupply, etc would double or triple the machine build cost but still land <$100 when the floor on cheap PC's (usually Via) were in the $300 range. But driving the price up for just a tiny amount of ram...?

These days you can buy new windows tablets for $200 (from big companies like HP for example), and these low end NUC style boxes frequently for less than $100. Sure the perf isn't great, but even the worst are equal or better than the very aged A72, low clocked designs lacking even crypto acceleration you find in the rpi4.

Never mind if your actually trying to just save money, midrange refurb and used machines from a couple years back will give you perf within a few percent of the current hardware in the same price range, and its going to be far more capable.

(I just stumbled on a very capable i5 based HP slim fanless desktop, refurb for $109 on amazon while checking the prices of that chuwi. There are a bunch of these "laptop in a slim desktop" case systems frequently for very reasonable prices.)

It might be a lie in the objective sense, but it is certainly possible to imagine Holocaust-deniers whose belief that the Jews screwed up the country is just as genuine as the person who thinks that of Merkel. There is a long side discussion about how many such people there are, of course. But that gets into pragmatics.

Oppositely, I think our collective epistemic certainty that the earth is round is even higher than our (already very certain belief) that the Holocaust happened. Yet few people think that the government should prevent people from saying this.

Personally, I believe freedom of speech is a false goal. I'm 100% OK with governments restricting speech because it helps the population flourish. But it's a false frame to just make the question a matter of "truth".

Personally, I'm mostly in favor of them, but I think there can be a strong case that Holocaust denial laws are bad for society.
With a high enough plateau near an ocean, that should work.

I think those places are really rare though.
These are all legit concerns, and on paid projects you really don't want to reinvent the wheel as long as the existing wheels do the job. You'll save time/money, it will be easier to maintain and safer, and all those other pros mentioned are 100% true.

However, problem with this popular approach is that it has become a sort of gospel preached to people, and they effectively brainwash junior devs in believing that they shouldn't ever dare to challenge the existing libs, and try to make their own improvements. Ever.

And that is obviously very wrong. People shouldn't be scared to fork a project and make their own customized version that solves their particular problems better. That's what OSS is all about. Yes, most of it will suck, but that's how you learn. And some will make actual improvements so we will have better wheels in the end.
If it’s no longer an option, the platform can now control that lever with no indication of why. See how Facebook sorts the news feed for you? Oh, it doesn’t? That used to be a user option right up top.
