Wideband (mSBC) support was added into Pulseaudio 15 btw: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Notes/1...

It also added support for using higher bitpools for the SBC codec (sbc, sbc_xq_453, sbc_xq_512, sbc_xq_552) which pushes its quality above APTx and the other proprietary codecs. Info about bitpools and SBC here: https://habr.com/en/post/456182/
I had a document notarized and was amazed that the person only did the signature page. I could have easily swapped out the entire contract. I do not understand this. At least a digital signature let's you know what document was signed by a person you have no idea about.

What we really need is a human notary that digitally signs a document that is scanned and printed with a QR sort of notarization on each page.
I’ll correct myself. I’d like to see evidence gorilla glass itself is made outside Asia. Apple’s supplier list has manufacturing locations in SK and Taiwan for gorilla glass. I think Kentucky only makes engineering samples and/or the equipment for SK/Taiwan that’s used in manufacturing. They don’t make the actual component going onto your iPhone.

The data in this article is simply wrong. Alphabet didn't layoff 10,000 people in November, or announce such a layoff. Looks like it's recycling some low-quality speculative layoff articles and presenting them as facts.

No. Seems like the article is making assumptions.
Am I? According to Wikipedia,

Angélil and Dion married in an extravagant wedding ceremony on 17 December 1994, which was broadcast live on Canadian television

Dion was born on 30 March 1968.

That would have made her 26.

Is there something else that you are reading that conflicts with that data?
That doesn't actually debunk the point; it potentially implies they've already ripped through the older ones in the stockpiles and are down to just the new, recently-produced ones. They don't have the production capacity to produce at a fast enough rate to keep the pace of cruise missile strikes in Ukraine.
Sorry you lost me on blockain. Also IF any blockchain were to be used to persist stuff like this it's the biggest, most decentralized.
Is Brian much better himself? he used to piggyback on the whole cypherpunk thing and now auto-reports people to the IRS and surveils your TXs after you withdraw from Coinbase. Also was on the whole NFT bandwagon which is a good test to find people who are just looking to make a buck. I've never used Coinbase but apparently you can't top up without logging into Plaid and leaking all your financial data, further showing a lack of care for consumer privacy.
Yep, and in the United States, there's no longer a large generation flooding into the workforce (Millennials); CS degrees have flatlined since 2016.
"Citizenship is theft."

See, I can make up quotes that contort what other people are saying too!

I realize this (imaginary) quote was well designed so you could just deflect any response as "that's not what I was saying." But it's pretty obvious your insidious statement equated the poorer people who might have less resources to offer a nation to take them in as 'lower-skilled thieves.' Taking the analogy even further, those with no money like many asylum seekers are 'no-skill thieves', which your analogy would cast aside as the most practical to exclude 'thieves.'
Discoverability seems to be your largest problem. To sell inventory you need to increase both the number of visits and the likelihood of converting a visit into a sale.

The later is mostly about your product and its presentation, what would make you buy that product?

Getting potential customers is another thing entirely. The quality of product/site is irrelevant if the number of visitors is small. The easiest way of increasing visitors is of course paid advertising, ideally targetting potential customers. Before paying significant money make sure that the views convert into actual sales!

If your website is only available via google that is bad. You should increase your discoverability, e.g. social media activities (tutorials, blogs, entertainment) or even other stores e.g. etsy (likely reduces profit margin, but customers are there). Google offers very little discoverability, just try how hard it is to reach your website via google, by just searching for the terms a customer who knows nothing about you would search for.
Facebook's future isn't in the social media space though. Most of their endeavors are in VR and other cutting edge technologies, hence the name change to Meta. I wouldn't be surprised if they saw the writing on the walls years ago. They've been hiring AI, and VR researchers for years now and are the industry leader in VR at least.
> If your build and test suite takes hours... you will often decide it's not worth it and move on.

I agree that there's a hazard here that should be defended against. My question is, if it's a small non-functional issue like that, why not mark the PR for auto-merge after you open it? Then it doesn't really matter how long the (wasteful) tests take to run, right?

> tests will take hours to run again. Do you bother...?

I think it's easy to blame CI in that case, but really, that sounds to me like a classic case of management prioritizing deadlines over quality. If management gives you the breathing room to and imposes the expectation not to merge unless the quality bar is reached, then you sit back and relax while you let this thing that's outside of your control take its time.

Look, clearly there's a number for which the CI test suite is "too long". IME that number is several hours. What I fail to see is how the higher opex of larger machines justifies small decreases in build time, particularly when there are much better improvements to be realized by caching etc. that don't necessarily carry the additional opex.
The US likes GDP because it lets us report growth based on all sorts of unproductive financial instruments like interest payments on medical debt.
Same experience from having a kid in Montessori. It's definitely a method that works for some. We all want our children to be able to "choose their own path" but as a parent don't feel awkward asking the question, does my kid need more structure at this point?
And I agree that this was a real cost. Yet despite that, one time, cost, enough companies chose to update the code rather than migrate. And the language is now a very popular choice.

I personally think that never removing legacy aspect of a language is a clear recipe for insane complexity.
That's a great hint, will look into that..
Our customer's use case only specified 200 concurrent so the hardware was set up accordingly.

We stressed it to 800 and N4j was fine and had tons of headway while the web servers started to give out (high CPU and mem).

Customer use case would never see 800 concurrent so it was a non issue in our case.
I think Putin was actually extremely clear why he invaded Ukraine. NATO was expanding to Russia's border

https://nypost.com/2021/12/23/putin-demands-nato-not-expand-...

Ukraine was hostile to the Russian people, banning their language in schools and refusing to uphold neutrality. France tried to broker a deal before the war broke out (upholding the Minsk agreements).

https://www.wsj.com/articles/putin-to-meet-macron-as-france-...

> Sure, but this fear of "ending up like Gaddafi" still doesn't doesn't make for a justification, or even an explanation, of why Putin thought it was a good idea to invade a neighboring country. Egging "The West" on made that worry much closer to becoming real. If Putin wanted to be left alone, he's done the exact wrong thing.

The west supported a coup in Ukraine, overthrowing the elected leadership of Ukraine.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/6/22/russias-putin-accus...

Russia then attempted to negotiate with the new Ukrainian government

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minsk_agreements

Ukraine openly ignored the agreement and has been seeking EU / US involvement. Immediately before Russia invaded there was a massive increase in shelling (noted by international observers as well). Which could easily lead one to believe Ukraine was about to start another push into Donbass

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-says-sharp-incre...

Just prior to Russia invading, Ukraine was openly discussing the attempt to obtain nuclear weapons

https://www.dailywire.com/news/president-zelensky-suggests-u...

Everything points to expansion of the west, which triggered Putin's fears.

I'm not saying he should have invaded, he effectively lost in the political influence game, so he switched to the kinetic realm. But in his mind he thinks NATO is out to destroy him and his civilization (his own words). It makes sense if you watch what the west has done to people like Gaddaffi, Serbia, or Iraq. I'm not supporting anything here, but am pointing out the mindset.
Putin diplomacy level is in the negative, he and his dogs always threaten the neighboring countries all the time.

So when targets inside Russia are hit like his precious bridge they always tell us that this means Russia is invaded and they have the right to use nuclear weapons in defense.

For us in Easter Europe the bigger concern is the nuclear plants, this bastards will sabotage them in some false flag operation to get revenge on their incompetence and inferiority.

Pretty much everything, including the ongoing lie that Neovim is a "continuation" of Vim.

I replied in a different comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33922783) about the async patches, which is where the whole things started. Because the patches weren’t accepted as is, they hard forked.

That requires an incredible amount of arrogance.

Neovim is not better than Vim. It is (increasingly) different. They have made different choices, some of which are interesting, some of which are baffling, and most of which are just different, although I consider the removal of GUI support to be about as arrogant as the gemini protocol stuff. There is a pernicious strain of software developer that thinks that they know better on everything and that GUIs are bad.

I felt that way in 1992 or so, despite having been exposed in 1990 to X, because it was easy to pick on Windows 3.1 and (then) Mac users. I got over it because there are things which are better, easier, and faster with GUIs than without. Not everything needs a GUI, but if you want people to use your software, leaving it in the terminal is unlikely to be a long-term success strategy.
Range anxiety is going to drive battery weights up for a while still, probably. The only way people will adopt EVs than can only go 50 miles on a charge is if they become much cheaper than ICEs, IMO. Like, on the order of $5k. Even then, the fear of being crushed by an SUV would be a barrier to adoption.
Two things jumped out at me:

1) this seems like a stealth ad for the company that made the tools to gather the data

2) does anyone consider Juul a tech company?
> For the clarification of doubt, where I say 'no evidence', I am referring purely to the absence of evidence, not evidence of absence.

Technically, you are referring to your model:

a) it is possible that evidence can exist but a human does not have knowledge of it

b) it is possible that people have differences of opinions on what constitutes evidence, because that is largely a subjective matter, and humans are famous for being unable to reliably distinguish between objective and subjective matters

> I am not sure about representing it formally mathematically, and I am certain that it is not the only probabilistic calculation possible, there may well be better models, but consider the following...

I think my (highly unusual) point of contention here is other than you intuit - your earlier comment ([emphasis] mine):

>> [The] probability, [without any other information to the contrary], of us being 'first' [is] higher than [the] probability of us being 'second' or any other possible point on the list.

You have made a prediction about reality based on "a" model, but speak (and perhaps believed, at runtime) that it is "the" model.

As for your argument, while it's all true, I cannot see how this can cause reality itself to be a particular way. Statistics and thought experiments (~~propaganda~~ journalism, ideologies and ideology ~marketing, etc) can (and do[1]) certainly cause reality to appear a certain way, but that is something very different.

I'm not advocating for the strategy, I'm suggesting a possible reason why a tech worker would vote or support a US Republican. They probably make more than your average American, and therefore have a financial incentive to support a political party promising lower taxes.
Apple certainly deserves credit for mainstreaming some things, but they get a lot of undue credit for originating them. I have seen so many people saying that Apple or Steve Jobs invented the smartphone. :rolling_eyes:

No, but it requires covering for fixes, free of charge, in special security critical infrastructures.

Software company bares the cost of producing faulty software.

When it touches the bank, many companies will start considering alternatives.

In fact, this is what drove Microsoft et al to start finally embracing other stacks, the amount of money burned fixing exploits for free in OS updates.
Sounds like ‘rubber duck debugging’ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging
On Friday, December 9th at ~4:00pm GMT (Greenwich mean time):

Nuclear: 5.25 GW
Wind: 3.84 GW
Combined Cycle Gas Turbines: 23.31 GW
Solar (Estimated): 0.35GW

Installed Wind Capacity (onshore + offshore): 25 GW [0]
Installed Solar Capacity: 13.4 GW [1]
Total installed Wind/Solar: 38.4 GW. Total produced: 4.11 GW

Wind is currently producing 15% of its installed capacity. Solar is producing 2.6% of its installed capacity. Combined, the renewables are at almost 11% of their installed capacity. Gas turbines are making up the difference.

Lots of you are cheerleaders for "renewables". They seem like a transitional technology to me. If hydrocarbons are ever going to be retired from use, nuclear sure does seem like the only option.

It seems to me like humanity's only hope is a breakthrough in our understanding of the laws of nature.

You wouldn't even need the model to be trained in real time. I'd love to see OpenAI buy Wolfram Research. WolframAlpha has managed to integrate tons of external data into a natural language interface. ChatGPT already knows when to insert placeholders, such as "$XX.XX" or "[city name]" when it doesn't know a specific bit of information. Combining the two could be very powerful. You could have data that's far more current than what's possible by retraining a large model.
They don't prove that. This reasoning is like saying the law oppresses men because they are disproportionately convicted of violent crimes.
Trust is intentional, not mechanical.
The reduction in CO2 emission resulting from EV's is definitely a win for the environment. What I didn't see from the article or its linked report was anything surrounding the effects of increased battery waste resulting from popularizing EV's.

Yes, I echo this.

I don't love the node/npm library ecosystem entirely, but it seems like at least the tools are consistent: I can generally run npm or yarn or pnpm and it will work with the same package.json file. There are often weird issues with ES6 or common JS, but generally the libraries have a fix when that is an issue.

With python, when I look at a new repository, I'm always trying to figure out, ok, does it have a requirements.txt (which means pip, right?). Or, do I need to use conda and activate it? Does anyone still use virtualenv (and why not)? And, often the requirements listed in the repository seem to only work in certain contexts. I've tried normalizing it all using a docker wrapper, but, especially for ML work, I'm then fighting with the CUDA libraries, and running against the correct GPU host libraries, etc. It feels so complicated and requires you to have been in the ecosystem for years to have the intuition on where to go next.

And, it probably makes things even more complicated that my host system is nixos: I don't think python ever considered immutable filesystems in the worldview.

I was hoping that the fastai course would smooth out some of this for me, but when I started trying to run on my own hardware, it quickly fell apart. This has always been the case for me with ML: trying to just get something running so I can experiment is such a battle that I give up.

Elixir just seems like it has a more sane approach for libraries and generally seems to work the right way. That's a good foundation for progress for me.
Me in my 90s just called me and claimed copyright on this kind of buttons.
I dont know if its me but I find it utterly incomprehensible to read any Lua plugin in neovim. The API is magic and Lua itself isnt a very good language. That is to say, it didnt really get any better than vimscript. Ive written a couple of plugins in vimscript back in the day so i know the pain.
Depends on how it is setup and it varies in different areas, almost all are grid connected but many only "suck the excess power needed" from the grid when the panels can't produce enough, and only some of those "feed back" power when they produce too much.
No, no one is denying she had the drugs. The issue is that she was sentenced far in excess of what is normal or reasonable, apparently for political reasons.
Those are the same numbers as on the tax invoice, and in that section it just says "Fees for all charges, including card charges and other payment methods." Curious if that number already includes charges for things like Subscriptions.

It reads as if Celine had been a man some time in her life. I do not believe this is true.

Recent versions of rsync support zstd compression, which can improve speed and reduce the load on both sides. You can check if your rsync supports that with "rsync -h | grep zstd" and instruct to use it with "-z --zc=zstd"

However, compression is useful in proportion to how crappy the network is and how compressable the content is (e.g., text files). This repo is about backing up user files to an external SSD with high bandwidth and low latency, and applying compression likely makes the process slower.

The advertisements are getting more intrusive for Waze. You can’t tap the directions area to see the rest of the set of directions until you tap out of the advertisement.

Waze routes have started to look more like maps routes though with the environmental gas saving trip focus instead of the most direct or fastest route.

I may try Apple Maps or something else. The waze directions don’t account for traffic and the capability to follow the directions.
I'm about 200km from the russian border right now. Having those a*holes go down would be definitely a cause for celebration.

The in-fighting that will occur when the current government collapses will weaken them further.

The Ukraine war has strengthened NATO and shown the (quite surprising!) unity of Europe to the point that people here just aren't afraid any more.
This is one of the major reasons I think that the lightning network backed by bitcoin could actually be useful, vs the totally useless waste of energy that everyone on here seems to believe it is - the fees are basically a tiny fraction of a cent, and so it could make it economically viable to have payments <$1, which currently isn't really the case with the credit card networks.

No it isn't, sadly. The one immediately good thing I had hoped to happen out of all this mess, sadly didn't happen. What a disappointment, really.

Complying to some arbitrary "copyright" rules, enforced by enemy state and lobbied by corporations, that had practically bought "rights" to all the human culture they could get their hands on (especially if they are refusing to license!) is completely ridiculous and fucking stupid.

In the current political situation at least they could have legalised SciHub - they couldn't even do that! That's just weak.

And for the propaganda part: consider the US public's opinion on the righteousness of their behavior on the world stage, or the manner in which (from an abstract perspective) they evaluate/perceive the Russian/Ukraine conflict compared to when the US is the aggressor.
