I recently attended a trade show, which mostly revolved around emerging ML/AI and other "hot" tech products in the market.

So it actually seems that in the logistics line of things like manufacturing / production / etc. there is a place for blockchain, mainly due to the immutability and decentralized distribution properties. What could take a whole week to track down using older methods, takes seconds if all the data is recorded on the blockchain...for example, food production. You want to find out exactly which animal your food comes from, and all the things involved (use of antibiotics? which factory? how did the product travel before ending up at your grocery store? etc.).

Some researchers working on these products repeated that they often get approached by directors and CxO level people regarding this - wondering if blockchain can "solve problems". And every time, they have to reply: Using the blockchain can solve some specialized problems, but there's no magic fairy dust involved, and it's not some general structure which will solve all their problems.

Unfortunately, it's kind of like AI. High-level directors dream of General AI, but you need to explain to them that it's all ML models which aid (replace if you're lucky) workers, and automate some tasks.

I think any CTO worth their salt should know these things, and manage the expectations of the other C-suite executives.
Yeah let's increase car dependence. Great idea.

If people are mainly working from home then we can redirect public transit from business parks or whatever towards places people still want to go (e.g. shopping, nightlife, events) but without a car. Starving already often underfunded public transit is not the answer.

Why not use the hundreds of millions spent on highways to subsidize people to work from home instead? Most commuters in North America are not using public transit but highways.
Is the linked paper "Presence or absence of stabilizing Earth system feedbacks on different time scales" correct for the title?
That's not a concern, since I have reliable sources for that.

What I usually don't have at hand is insight regarding what's the current mindset and attitudes - the most revealing conversation I had about that was with a Russian who moved out of the countery and her reasons behind this decision (not money since she was from Moscow).

The most striking is always what a person considers normal.
youtube-dl / yt-dlp supports more than YouTube, and I have my config file all set up the way I want to embed subtitles, etc in the downloaded file.
the 6502 was not perfect but great for its time. If we were to design it today we could probably leave stuff out. Use multiple bytes per instruction to address the large memory, a few more accumulators and it wil do just fine.

Then we bake x of them onto a chip with y custom roms besides it and write everything from scratch.

Some operations will be more complicated than ever, some things will be slow but most complexity is gone.

As a bonus it will be absurdly cheap to make.
I can barely get people to use signal, let alone a new more obscure messenger
youtube-dl works for a lot more sites than just YT.

Also: if you use the git sources you can do a quick "git pull" in case there were breaking changes and restart the download. ytdl is written in python, you can launch it via python -m "module name" within the src folder

You can also use different forks of ytdl or run multiple downloads in parallel
The old bouncy screensaver.
I've been dabbling in smartwatches because of the built-in step counters, trying to get healthy, etc. The main thing I found I appreciated is the automatic time sync including DST switchover.

There is a long list of negatives:

- Battery life is miserable compared to a classic watch

- Screen activation is unreliable. Imagine a classic watch not visible when you look at it.

- Bad UX. Somehow the brightness settings I apply randomly get reset/reverted. This is probably hit or miss depending on brand, I expect Apple's devices have this nailed.

- Outdoor performance. This is the worst one. The screen is just not readable under bright sunlight. I find myself making a little tent out of whatever I have on and furiously shaking my wrist to activate the screen just so I can tell the time. This is what's going to make me ultimately switch back to a classic watch unless I can find one with e-ink. I'm not sure how Apple's devices fare here beyond friends saying 'it works fine.'
The F-91W has 18mm lugs, but it uses a friction-held (non-spring) bar, which limits your options. Further limiting it is that it doesn't quite look right without the flare out and taper. Some people don't mind this and swap it with a 18mm NATO strap and just wear it like that indefinitely.

I solved this problem by going on Aliexpress and ordering replacement metal band that fits the F-91w, A-158, and similar models. It costed $4.98. Been using it ever since and it works great. Being metal, now it's the least fragile part of the watch. You can also just upgrade to the ~$20 A-158, or one of the other metal band Casios, and get that out of the box. Timex also makes the T80 with a metal band as well.

I slightly prefer the light weight of the plastic band, but if you're okay with a metal band and your arm isn't too hairy (these low end metal bands like these can be painful if you are), then that's an option. The only tool you'll need to replace this is a spring bar tool that has the straight poker end or something similar.

It baffles me that a lot of this website is positive of drug legalization, but gambling is suddenly completely morally awful and the government should not allow anyone to do it because they know what's good for you.
Yes, but the work you do has commercial value to you also, based on its merits alone.

Example: without Intellij, you deploy some back end code interacting with an OCR solution.

Example: with Intellij, you can build the whole OCR solution yourself.

Doing the latter translates long term into higher salaries and more money in your pocket. You have to talk about what you did in interviews and your answers will be reflected in the offers you get.

The only way this would not apply would be if you can say “I am absolutely sure I will never move on from, or be laid off by, my company,” which is not a recommended strategy in this economy.
It's either a ruse or we will adapt. Can't be both.
I can only speak for the U.S. but most companies don’t vet previous employment through references taking a person at their word.

If they are concerned about vetting, paystubs and official bsckgroune checks are much better ways to go.

Indeed, but someone from NI can also join the Irish Olympic team. I guess the use of GB rather than UK is a way of addressing that sensitive question by not including NI as default in one team.

Disclaimer: speaking only of Bitcoin, the utility of the larger crypto space is somewhat questionable.

Yes, there will always be a need for trust, and Bitcoin doesn't change that. What it does is actually facilitate more, rather than less, trust.

By having a rock-solid form of money with a well-known, immutable monetary policy and issuance rate, that doesn't rely on any single entity and is very difficult to corrupt, all kinds of trust-related issues (moral hazard, Cantillon effect, theft of purchasing power) are resolved.

In addition, commerce and exchange between strangers can more easily be facilitated based on such a system rather than one that relies on multiple intermediaries.

If I can have cryptographic proof of escrow in a multi-sig wallet (2 of 3, where there is a trusted (!) 3rd party), I might be willing to do a transaction with someone I might otherwise not (e.g. due to a lack of trust that they have the funds available).
The job of journalism isn't only to report provable facts, it's to also report on what people are doing and why. It's not the NYT's job to do a deep economic analysis of crypto and come up with an editorial position on it. They interview the people involved in order to give you insight into what's going on in the industry. Is it going to be balanced? No because they're literally trying to show you what the advocates for the industry are saying, and they trust you to be literate enough to understand that when they publish an interview with SBF they are presenting what SBF wants to represent to the world and you should take it with the knowledge of what source it comes from.
The difference is she's not wrong about those things (3/4 of them):

there was interference in the election (hacking)
Republicans have pushed for voter suppression
"fake" stories did plague her election (emails, benghazi)
voter purge I'm not sure what that is suppose to be about in this context.

And this is coming from a person that "hates" Hillary.

I don't make any excuse for her statements, I'm saying she not Donald trump who controls and influences their party.
This may not be universally true, but voice-only makes a difference, too.

Audio is very low bandwidth, but for work it is usually more than adequate. Screenshare, where important, is mostly just a matter of providing small diffs over time, it's usually much cheaper both to encode/decode than normal video streaming. You can also run it point to point in smaller calls, which means fewer hops and datacenters (more routers, perhaps, but you were going to need them anyway)
> the claim that public transit only really serves commuters is not universally true.

It is always partially true, but each city is different. People who travel in the very early hours (like 2:30am) always have problems, (even the best cities run reduced and thus inconvenient service for maintenance reasons, most give up on transit completely). While those hours are not common it is safe to bet everyone reading this has had reason to travel at those times at least one night in their life.

In far too many cities, (and not just in the US) additional service is run during the peaks. By additional service I mean they run more buses/trains as opposed something with more seats (that is longer). This means people who travel at non-peak hours have to be careful about when they travel to ensure there is service without waiting. Of course if the wait is still less than 5 minutes nobody cares, but as waits get longer - humans don't have time for that.
As someone from Northern Ireland who is often frustrated by British companies who don't ship to or provide services to this side of the sea, I think having this clearly indicated by a .gb TLD would be great.

I agree, not quite my preference in scripting languages. I prefer to be able to deal with numeric representation.
We lower the heat if nobody is home. But, that's the difference between 70* and 65*. With no heat, the house would eventually be 32* in the dead or winter.

And we only do that because smart thermostats exist and use our phones as presence sensors. Without that, we'd have to manually lower the heat and I doubt we'd bother/remember.
TL;DR anyone? I couldn't care less about communication skills of Andy and whether some meeting was in person, before even getting a hint of what is the point of that post.

Determination of the Day of the Week
For some reason, could be local demographics, could be the places I go, but I weirdly rarely see people around my age when I go out. I’ve spoken to plenty of people men and women 5-50+ years older than me, but rarely anyone around my age. I’ve met a few people a little younger, but very rarely. For reference I’m in my mid 20s. Most people I talk to are their late 20s to early 30s or middle aged.

However, if I were to download a dating app, I’d see plenty of people in my area around my age.
Neither the OP or me said there are no rules and they have to use an RNG to make a decision, only that it does not matter. That they then go and use an algorithm that maximizes their profits is only to be expected and the rational outcome from the fact that there is no other constraint from the technical algorithm.
The companies? they care about their ESG image. "We support green, remote work" would be a nice touch

The employees? Isn't that the whole point of the "corporate culture" BS?

Author here, there's indeed no relation at all between the projects apart from my unfortunate choice of name for my project.
I bought one license.

It showed up in my Microsoft account alongside previous purchases which were at full price.

I haven't had an MSDN account for several years, so I can't compare with that.
There must be ample apartments near train stops that take you to all the jobs so you’re right.
If there aren't enough batteries, we should be focused on PHEVs (plug-in hybrid electric vehicles). They use 1/5th the amount of batteries but provide 90% of the electric driving as an EV because 90% of trips are less than 50 kms. You only use fuel if you go beyond 50 kms.

We could have 5 times as many vehicles reducing fuel usage by 90% instead of having 1/5th the EVs reducing fuel usage by 100%. Also, when the battery on a PHEV runs out, it switches to hybrid mode which is still more efficient than and ICE.

Additionally, with a PHEV, you don't have range anxiety and don't need a supercharger network. With 1/5th the batteries, you can charge overnight on 120v instead of having to install an expensive 240v charger at your home.

Of course, a PHEV is more complex than an EV, requiring oil changes, etc., but their engines are smaller, more efficient because they run at their optimal RPM, and aren't strained like engines in ICE vehicles. Consumer Reports claims hybrids and plug-in hybrids are very, very reliable.
You can ask that question, too - but it's irrelevant to the question why the E12 series was changed in this way.
I took them for a few months and then stopped. It felt restorative.
60 > 144 hz jump is very noticeable. Day and night. 144 > 240 hz not so much. It's still really good though.
I certainly wouldn't heat your home when nobody is home, but most people do return home after a day at the office, and many people don't live alone. That's what I'm referring to.

Or do you demand that they live in the cold while you're at the office?
Or might do if people stop saying twitter's scale is why it needed so many engineers.
But suffering can be valuable without it (suffering) being caused by supreme being. No mater why i experience suffering i can learn from it, and prevent in future. By the way author talks about "reason" for suffering. There is no mention that you can't learn from it (meaning, benefit).
Probably because people get significantly less work done remotely… CEOs know this, multiple studies have shown this, and it’s been a lot of people’s experience as well.
Because most of workers have not enough pro-ability to adapt a remote working environment. More details, to work remotely efficiently, you need to:

- Have good writing skills, because communication is asynchronous most of the time.

- Task description needs to be as clear as possible ! You don't want to spend most of time to explain what the specification means.

- Self-management and time management: How to do things concurrently without less help as possible from others ?
Not only WP: An increasing amount of articles just cite "sources say" or "an unnamed U.S. intelligence official says".

Then the entire world press copies the article within hours. Even Reuters and AP have adopted the practice.

Then Wikipedia cites the narrative as the truth.
Yes, taking notes on paper, proofreading, quick sketches or formulas are much easier with a pen. Also exams are printed.

So why not a tablet? Infinite battery life and easy crossreferencing, e.g. just put page 2, 15 and 47 next to each other -> would need three tablets. Furthermore writing on glass still is different, even matte glass.

So while more and more parts of work are "digital", for some parts you still want "analog".

Bauhaus Redefined What Design Could Do for Society
You can ask them, it's just a question of whether they'd do it.

I remember getting other 13yos to install Hamachi so we could play AoM P2P back in 2009 or so, it seemed more than worth it at at the time. Why do you think there'd be friction with your friends to take the time to install an app if you're already taking the time to play games together?
Pets. Other family members. Plus the fact that you're "daytime" heating/cooling a home from 6:30-8:30 am and 3:30-10 pm anyway, and that modern or updated homes keep their temperature for several hours. So the debate is really over a few degrees for a couple of extra hours (Vs. heating an entire other building that may not otherwise exist).

I know at our workplace heating on Monday mornings has to start several hours earlier than on Tuesday because the office lost almost all of its built-up heat from the previous Friday. I also know that they continue to run the heating on holiday-Fridays/Mondays because if they don't by the following Monday/Tuesday, the temperature will drop too low and could damage equipment.
I just add an extra link to the watch band and slide it up my arm a little bit when coding.
That's also true for normal landlords (citation: I am one), but that doesn't mean normal rent isn't getting pushed as high as possible by the fundamental nature of market incentives.

I'm of the the opinion that the market which is making me so much money right now is fundamentally broken, and that the only fix is for local governments to be at least half as much in the business of building and letting out housing as they already are in the business of building infrastructure such as roads and utilities — lots, but not necessarily all.

The reason is likely because discrete resistor values are trimmed in circuit by placing a much larger value in parallel to bring the overall value down.
That's the system I have and that's how I do it, same for my family, we never leave it blasting if no one is home

Sadly, I never heard of Kite until copilot came out. As someone who pays for tools, I would have considered it (have paid for JB for years, various atlassian tools, and other utilities/etc).
Cheapest Spreadtrum (now Unisoc) you can buy is SC7731E, which has at the very least Android 7, and is slated to get Android 13 BSP.

Most current cheap rockchips are rk3328/rk3228, who got at least Android 8, even more recent (I think 3328 got Android 12). Last Allwinner board, H616, I got was running Android 9, but it was few years ago so it was pretty recent, and it's considered an obsolete SoC on several accounts. I don't really know what Amlogic sells nowadays

Granted, I only buy devices for which the the Android devices is displayed, because well I want GSI to run on it, but I haven't seen a device sold as Android 4.* for years. I ordered an iPhone knock-off that might prove me wrong... (it says Android 11 on the spec sheet)
Well, there we go. The grandparent comment argued that JB is a russian company (as in employing mostly russians) and it may not be a right thing to do continuing to pay pretty salaries to people responsible at the very least for letting their country slip into genocidal fascism, while they enjoy their new life in Europe and the regime they helped raise continues murdering Ukrainians and kidnapping their children.
I do. I turn up the heat in the morning and turn it down again in the evening. Smart thermostats can do that automatically, but my home office doesn't have a smart thermostat.
I think I found the article!

https://phys.org/news/2022-11-physics-sheep-flocks-alternate...
Typical American house uses a heat pump (basically an AC run "backwards") with a single thermostat (bigger houses might have multiple complete systems).

If you turned the heat off at 7am as you left for work, the house would probably be below 60 when you got home, and take most of the evening to reheat, only to be turned back down again at bed time. I don't know anybody who manually does any of this - at best, they have a smart thermostat that lets them schedule home/away time or uses cell phones as presence sensors. And even then, they'll lower the heat 5-8 degrees, not turn it off completely.
Do you think that any of these things have cult-like tendencies, or is it a completely distinct phenomenon? It seems like people can go down a rabbit hole to varying degrees. I know I have that tendency. I went down the Scott Adams rabbit hole and allowed him to convince me of some silly things, but I had enough self-awareness not to get too sucked in. And it seems like QAnon is a much more extreme version of the same thing. You grew up in a cult, so I'm guessing you didn't have the same transformative experience of a new recruit. I could see the evidence that QAnon people were posting on Twitter for their beliefs, the apparent predictions and signs in what the president was saying or posting on Twitter. And because of my mental health history, I know the feeling of seeing something really convincing like that, and feeling the ground drop out from under you, and your whole world suddenly change (even if I snap out of it later). I can see behind the curtain, I know something about the nature of reality that everyone would think is ridiculous because they just haven't seen it yet. I always imagined that this is how a cult gets a new recruit.

I don't know if QAnon has the radical separation aspect where you can't be friends with former members if you leave. But QAnon is certainly something bad. Does it have aspects of a cult, to you? Is there such a thing as varying degrees, even if it's not a real cult until it reaches the threshold?

This is bloody obvious. Why is this desalination not being done already?
It's great news unless you're maintaining software which defines its own version of these three keywords (which was necessary before C99, and AFAIK there is a popular C compiler which still doesn't have full support for C99). And until everyone moves to C23 (which will probably take a very long time; a quick web search tells me that it took until 2015 for the aforementioned popular C compiler to add support for the C99 stdbool.h header), all C projects will still have to include that header.

The initial covid lockdowns did result in a large drop in global emissions. Somewhere around ~2 Billion tons or about 5% drop for 2020.

2021 emissions were about equal to 2019 emissions. So there may be not much of an effect from remote work.
