This of course then only gives an approximation. However this isn't typically used for digital output, but the pantone ID is carried along so that when printing (or otherwise producing) the physical object the correct color and material is being used.

I know people who have done that in the past - it's one bottle or 5 cans or 3 medium bottles or 2.6 pints (easily done if you're spending 8 hours a day in the pub as we did at uni.)

(I'm pretty sure I've had periods where I've drunk the daily equivalent in coke, coffee, redbull, etc.)
Native code already executes in a sandbox, it’s called a process. It’s fine if implementing multitenancy with processes doesn’t fit the use case specified in the article, but for the article to state that a secure execution context for native code doesn’t exist and call it unsafe is ignorant.
With 4 big Cortex-X1 cores and 4 medium Cortex-A78 cores, the new MS Developer Kit should be much faster than the Qualcomm RB5, which has 4 Cortex-A77 cores.

Also the price, at $600, is decent in comparison with the excessive prices requested by NVIDIA for the faster of the Orin variants.

Unfortunately, the new MS Developer Kit also includes a Microsoft Pluton, and it is very likely that Pluton is configured to allow only Windows to boot.

Otherwise, I would have also been tempted by it, because all the previous ARM-based alternatives have been either very slow, like Raspberry Pi, or very expensive in comparison with the computers with Intel or AMD CPUs having similar performance, like the Qualcomm and NVIDIA development kits.

The success path of any disruption look very similar to the failure path, the 'firs they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you and then you win'

It seems now we are at the 'they laugh at you' stage. In the same time I never would've thought 5 years ago that literally nobody will be watching the news anymore. The current work from home experience is completely broken, maybe they can improve it, who knows maybe there are even regulations or government incentives due to climate change to move to WFH, and then Meta will be very well positioned.

Its a huge bet, but I am kind of happy that they are trying something instead of doubling down on "fundamentals" which is basically digital heroin sold to kids in exchange for their attention. (Of course, the metaverse will probably evolve into digital fentanyl..)

This pattern can be understood from different povs. A point of view rarely discussed is this: democracies and secret services are incompatible when currents of power are maintained by secrets.

> Generally markets expect during a down turn, slimming of staff, focusing on the core fundamentals, and improving net operations.

Why?

In particular when the general market of the sector is in a downturn, quite some great people are typically laid off. So, this is a, say, once-in-a-decade opportunity to hire lots of great people.

Also, if the sector is in a general bad shape, hardly anybody expects the profits to be great. So, use this opportunity to invest the available cash into speculative projects of high potential.

If the economy is in a bad shape, less people will buy your products; thus it is of lesser priority to have a product available. But since, by the previous paragraph, you invested your money into more long-term projects of high potential, you will have quite some potentially lucrative products available as soon as the economy recovers.
About a year and a half ago I was looking to learn more about the openCV library and computer vision. Searching through HN turned me on to: https://pyimagesearch.com/

Their approach to hands on learning with code samples you can download and run proved very effective (for me) at demystifying the current AI fields of image classification and object detection. It's all python based and leans heavily on existing libraries. But he does cover the basic math and references various books and research papers that are influential in the field.

I ultimately signed up for their paid courses but you could learn quite a bit from the free stuff.

After a few months of learning from pyimagesearch.com I ultimately decided to enroll in the GT OMSCS program to really dig into the field. @Pinegulf is right - AI is just code. There is no "one AI program to rule them all" and there never will be. Better to think of AI as a collection of various tools (really cool tools!) that have been invented to solve various problems - image classification, or voice processing to name two of the more recent hot AI tools.
It's pretty easy to use some ML-as-a-Service platform, where you simply hit an endpoint in Azure, AWS, etc. without any prerequisite knowledge of the underlying models powering it.

Although asking someone to understand all the underlying math is a bit much, I think there's a middle ground here.
And the fact is that a lot of designers can get incredibly anal about tiny details of color/texture/etc. I remember back in undergrad when I was doing some press work, there was one poster that the designers had specified two different (Pantone) shades of dark neutral ink and I doubt anyone looking at the poster saw anything other than "black" for both of them.

And before any developers throw shade on this sort of obsessiveness, remember stones and glass houses.
"To find out what if" is a good purpose on its own. Not everything needs to be practical; it just must be interesting, even for a short while. That aside, you often can't be sure of the effectiveness of a tool for a purpose without you or someone else trying to use it.

I started out using a cheap MicroSD and it only lasted a week or two before failing; I've since replaced it with a 128 GB SATA SSD with a USB3-SATA dongle I bought off Amazon. No SD card needed and it's served me incredibly well. I figured that even the best MicroSD card isn't going to be designed to run as a computer's boot drive, and SATA SSDs are cheap and plentiful.
> We need to question every current assumption about work. The system is currently in a malleable state, but that won't last. More questioning assumptions, means more experiments, means more developments.

These are weasel words. I'll take you at your word that you're still thinking about it.

Here's some random thoughts loosely related to a guild:

We miss some things when we're fully remote. A short list for me:

- Ad-hoc exposure to new ideas, techniques, and technologies. Glancing over your co-worker's shoulders when you're stopping by and asking what's that is powerful.

- Mentoring. I find junior engineers are reluctant to initiate conversations, ask for help, even know how to ask for help in a fully remote environment. Social cues, body language, all these things matter, and without these hints people often won't risk intruding.

More on social needs: I don't have a strong connection to colleagues who are fully remote that I've never met in person. Until I meet them in person, it's harder for me to gauge when they're joking, when they're serious, and when they're frustrated. This causes me to keep them at arm's length, and be very measured in every response. I miss casual, in-person connections with like-minded smart professionals.

Here's what I want: Something in-person that can address some of the above needs and more -- I'm happy to pay for. It's a bonus if being part of it provides better job opportunities or a stronger signal to employers, though to be frank: There's already a guild for the latter and we call it being an Xoogler / Ex-FANG employee.

Maybe a guild per large city with organized events and strong vetting. I guess what I'm talking about is a more formally structured type of meetup++.

>> A brisk one hour walk on hills can easily burn 600cal

This is optimistic to the point of being close to a lie. Most people walking for an hour are going to burn closer to 250-300 cal. At the pace and terrain to double this you're not really "walking" anymore, and it's certainly not "easy". The idea of "exercising your way out of overconsumption" is entirely flawed and disproven.
Of course. Just engage into mature speed optimizations from the beginning, as everyone else.

The post begins with a preface about promotions for leadership from the Csuite.

But I argue most Csuite and leaders are horrible at this too; I can't tell you how many all hands or emails I've been at where leaders use the abbreviations ELT, LT, ET, Csuite to refer to themselves -- and then use abbreviations for their move-the-needle projects and expect everyone in the room to know what they mean.

Clear communication is great, especially in the remote world or when dealing with complex situations. But this isn't a trait that leaders have more than developers, and it's not a trait that particularly gets you outside the development track.

Frankly, Ruby on Rails - and Rspec provide an example that developers should be very verbose -- in their method names, their file names, the description, background, context, and specific examples..

You're exactly right: it's not free speach. It's freedom of opinion. The Grundgesetz stipulates that you can walk up to Angela Merkel and tell her that her policies screwed up the nation without her being able to put you in prison.

Fitness trackers, while sometimes useful, are considerably overhyped IMO. They're mostly about gamification and the UX inspiring (often inflated) confidence in the results they report, not about yielding fundamentally higher-quality information than online calculators or your bathroom scale or how well your pants fit.

Also, people put too much stock in the 500 kcal/day thing. It's more an example that makes the math work out neatly than it is necessarily something any given person should adopt as a target.
My read is that the OP understands this but is ideologically opposed to paying bribes. Ex: "Obviously, they are playing 'hard to get' to get me to pay some bribe and initiate the process" and "So the Gram Panchayat NOC is stuck because of non payment of bribe".
Speech has consequences. Often indirect, sometimes quite direct. As such, maximising the liberty of the largest number of people is fundamentally incompatible with protecting all speech equally.

Popper's Paradox of Tolerance [1] is a more direct expression of this:

> The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly self-contradictory idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.

Sometimes, that intolerance of intolerance can be sufficiently dealt with by society merely expressing disagreement, but if the intolerance expressed involves direct abuse and threats, for example, by people undeterred by their opponent merely countering their speech with speech, the only non-violent means of preventing the harm, including limiting the liberty of the victims, may be through the application of legal restrictions.

You should revisit Paradox games then, because you clearly didn't understand anything about what was happening while you were "idling".
I've observed that moderate aerobic exercise often tends to temporarily suppress appetite for some people, myself included. Doesn't work for everyone, though.

My partner swears their caloric cravings increase disproportionately after workouts and feels strongly that reducing food intake has helped them maintain weight far more than exercise. There are probably some genetic components to this (according to our 23andme data, we have very different genomes).

For such a methodically constructed workspace, especially one that goes out of its way to avoid fan noise, I'd assume the OP would have wanted at least middling audio quality. I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, yet I've never used a computer monitor's onboard speakers by choice. Almost any other solution would likely be superior to whatever microscopic "speakers" are crammed into that 21.5" monitor...

That’s not how market works.

The price of Adobe Creative Suite isn’t based on cost, it’s an attempt to reflect the value of the product.

For me, an amateur with very basic image editing needs, it would be silly to pay $250+/year for using Photoshop. So instead, I use Acorn, which is $40. One-time fee.

And if you want a FOSS alternative, there’s always Gimp and/or Krita. No payment required at all.

It’s not as if people are forced to buy Adobe. I’d say the market works just fine here.

Teslas (while much maligned and deservedly so) can already drive pretty well on most well painted and high traffic roads. Granted it is very conservative and often I take control just to avoid other drivers honking at me for taking too long to turn.

But this article mentions L4 autonomy. L4 still allows for geofencing and human control. Tesla is already pretty much L3, borderline L4. I think it is realistic to say L5 won't exist until radical change to our infrastructure is made but to say L4 won't exist in our lifetimes... I mean, I suppose if you're 80 years old already.

I also think it draws too radical a conclusion in the article. The conclusion is from the author. The people from Ford explicitly said they think that it will be developed independently and Ford will be able to buy it instead of having to make it themselves. Which is very different than "it won't happen in our lifetime." It seems they didn't decide to stop research because it is not possible but because oters can do it cheaper.

Sure: but neither “European” nor “round” provide a heuristic for identifying those qualities.

Edit: to expand, a quick look in my fridge shows the following cheese have no trans fats at all.

- Tillamook’s widely available industrial cheddar
- Generic brand feta
- Generic low-moisture cheddar
- Dutch Gouda

We should probably eat good cheese because it tastes better, but I would imagine that trans fat free cheese would encapsulate most common cheese varieties.

The thing about despotic countries with dictators. They don't really care about free speech. In fact, you had greater free speech in syria than you do in canada in say 2005. The dictator keeps their people in order by threat of violence knowing their opinion is poor of them. Whereas in Canada, nobody is shooting civilians. So the canadian government is forced to have compelled speech and anti-speech laws and extensive secret snowden level surveillance to keep the peasants in order.

Not limited to Spain: here in Somerville MA I see people doing this pretty often. They leave just enough of the building standing (two walls?) that it counts as a remodel and they can keep all the zoning exemptions from the old structure. If they tore it down entirely they wouldn't be able to build anything nearly as large.

Completely legal, but a good illustration of how even our new (and honestly much improved) zoning is too restrictive.
