This depends entirely on how naive the sqlite implementation is - without exact implementation details and register values for the QSPI peripheral, it's hard to remote diagnose something like that.

Have you used a digital logic analyzer to figure out how long reading the page takes, how many pages SQLite reads for that query, and how much work SQLite has to do before it can fetch the next page? I haven't seen any ESP32 SQLite ports that can eagerly fetch pages, even though it's relatively simple to do with DMA (but would require some significant changes to SQLite because it's designed to be ignorant of OS preemption which is not the case in most RTOSes).

Stock price can't double. The amount of cash the company has must decrease by an amount equal to half its market cap. That should do something roughly equivalent to the value of the company.
For small fish they’re probably about the same but they seem like they’d be superior for larger fish since they wouldn’t be able to get drawn into the middle so you’d have less strikes along the backs like you often see on whales or large sea animals.
I'm not sure this is a good idea, but I'm curious to see how it'll be implemented. Up until now, Twitter's differentiating factor has been the amount of information conveyed by Tweets, with as few words as possible. This is how information quickly travels from person to person.

I wonder how that will change the dynamics of the website.

That's insane. Isn't it literally their mission to advance spaceflight technology?

I assumed there was a good reason they were not reusing the rockets. Are you seriously telling me it's due to politics and corruption?
That confusion you feel stems from a misunderstanding about the electrical grid.

Hundreds of millions of people aren’t all living in lockstep and many of them are trying to save money using demand pricing. A family might go on a long trip and use fast charging, but every family in the country isn’t going to be going on a trip that same weekend and try to charge at the same second.
I think you have to ignore some of these, especially at a large company, where there may be bugs everywhere. Otherwise you will never get your features done and just fix bugs the whole time.
Dark mode became popular in part because interface designers have decided to move away from the Windows 9x era black text on grey background theme to dark grey text on white background, causing the screen to become fully white and thus very bright.

Vietnam for $20K US a year. That is a very good lifestyle. You could do the same here in NZ and the cost of living is much higher.

If you are trying to save as much as possible you'd be able to live on half that in Vietnam easily.
I would argue that this test isn't particularly informative. Given 5 attempts and 5 successes, even though the point estimate of accuracy is 1, the 95% CI ranges from 0.48 to 1:

> binom.test(5,5,0.5)

Exact binomial test

data: 5 and 5
number of successes = 5, number of trials = 5, p-value = 0.0625
alternative hypothesis: true probability of success is not equal to 0.5
95 percent confidence interval:
0.4781762 1.0000000

In other words, we don't have enough data in that small sample to reject the possibility that the model is 50% accurate, much less 99.9% accurate.
One of the reasons I like Bitwig is that the included instruments are really good and you can use the grid to build just about anything. So I find myself reaching for third party instruments much less.

Banning abortions/birth control has already been tried by Romania. It was the inspiration for the book The Handmaid's Tale. In Romania today, banning abortions/birth control would be a political death sentence due to peoples' memories of the results the last time it was tried.

> Nobody reads academic leftists because they are eye-wateringly dull and they redefine many words.

FWIW Das Kapital is one of the most cited books in all of economics (and probably all of academia), so I can only assume it is also one of the most read of all academic works. There are also leftist authors such as Howard Zinn with People’s History of the United States and Stephen Jay Gould with Mismeasure of Man. Both best-sellers and the former probably the best selling history book of all time. Even in field of feminism bell hooks has a couple of best sellers that are widely read by the general public.

Seems to me that left-wing academics appeal plenty to the general public and their works get read and understood in record numbers.

No one is saying if you're being too cheap, that's up to you to decide.

What's utterly bizzare is trying to paint Apple's target market as people who overspend when again, they make a $429 phone that will get upgrades for much longer than any phone more expensive or cheaper and it's still faster than competitors that cost double.

The M1 Macbook Air is now going for $800 and it outperforms laptops that cost double that.

What's extra weird is that I have to tell someone who's into tools all of this.

Do you only buy from Harbor Freight? After all, for all the memes Harbor Freight 100% has non-crap versions of their cheapest stuff that will take some pretty serious beating if you're willing to pay marginally more...

But people still spring for Snap-On because they like how many teeth they get to work with, or even the knurling on something they'll hold all day. People spring for a Milwaukee to get a well balanced tool that's nice to handle in tight spaces. I shouldn't have to tell anyone into tools that there's more to an item than it's most pared down utilitarian essence...

Also, I don't know which circles you run in that have underperformers being rewarded with fancy toys. Not really a thing around anywhere I've been.

Carmack wrote Quake on a $9000 28" 1080p screen in 1995, so I don't think there's much going for linking "prefers a nice setup" to not being productive for the rest of us.

Citation? This kind of study will take at least three quarters of a century to reach such clear cut conclusions. I don't think people hanging on to pseudoscientific BS live long enough to worry about Alzheimers.
Lowering rates will give a boost to the stock market in the short to medium term. In the long term, returns will settle closer to the interest rate in question (plus a risk premium). See: Japan over the last couple of decades.
To me it's often the variety of channels to communicate. When a question is asked that needs swift response and that question is not answered, naturally the person asking the question is stuck. It's quite awkward to try to get a response by some other means, one never knows - people don't want to answer? They don't know? They don't care, and anything goes? They just didn't receive the question? If there is just one channel, which in case of remote teams should be mandatory - and frequently monitored - at least some of those questions could be avoided. Like, a single channel in Slack, or email only. Otherwise, answer "well no one responded" becomes awfully justified.

Of course this usually isn't that much of a problem when the question is not too important, or the asking person knows possible options to proceed - it's usually a new or junior team member who suffers most from this. On interviews everybody is encouraged to ask questions, but in real life many become tired answering something which they know for too long - even though it's the specifics of the system, which they built unnecessarily complicated and just got used to. So unfortunately in subpar teams it becomes harder to obtain necessary information.
If you assume twos complement (does anyone still insist one supporting ones complement ints for the sake of old DSPs and minicomputers?)
That is increasingly less the case, thankfully. These things do take time though. An interesting parallel is the French market for translated manga, which has a much higher diversity of series in non-shounen demographics available. Hard to know how much of that is due to the French actually being more interested in these demographics, and how much is American publishers believing that manga targeted at other demographics is likely to be less successful and hence mostly going with safe bets.

I mean fourth possibility is that binance is solvent right? I’m not assigning probabilities to any of them but taking their insolvency as a foregone conclusion seems pretty incorrect?
Right, it's definitely technically under the umbrella of 'social science' but the examples you listed are certainly far more towards the side of neuroscience and psychophysics than they are to social or personality psychology, let alone fields like sociology. I can't think of a single social effect on how sleep deprivation negatively effects us for example - that seems to be straight up individual biology that's essentially invariant across all individuals and societies.

I'm happy to grant Psychology those wins, since they are good examples, but realistically Psychology has to be broken down further before you can critique it or praise it. (To be clear, I'm not saying that everything else in Psychology is worthless, there's good research in personality psychology, for example, but it's definitely on shakier ground).
I'm not really sure I agree with your argument. It seems quite clear that what has really contributed to Carvana tanking over the past year was they vastly mispriced their product. What happened to Carvana is essentially exactly what happened to other companies that misjudged the effect of the pandemic, e.g. Zillow with their bad experiment with house flipping (paid too much for houses) and Bright Health (vastly underpriced their insurance due to impact of COVID).

But I want to emphasize, I would have gone to Carvana even if it were considerably more. The trusted, online-only buying experience is just something I'm totally willing to pay for, especially given how extremely awful the normal used-car buying experience is.
And going into a dealer with cash and buying a car at list price and taking the offer for a trade-in--all with minimal haggle--really isn't a terrible experience in general. I bought a new car over the summer which wasn't immediately available but otherwise was a pretty straightforward transaction.

The pain is that people get pulled into negotiations that mix in a bunch of different things (purchase price, trade-in, financing, add-ons) and it's all a bit more than they can comfortably afford.
This article makes excellent points in a cogent fashion.

I partly disagree with the author that simply pointing at the existence of an alternative is sufficient. One of the reasons I've been very lukewarm about Mastodon is that it really lack the networks effects that make Twitter special; federation is a nice idea but the pragmatic benefits are a lot less clear. Being able to follow, track, and have conversations with individual scientists/scholars on Twitter has been a huge benefit for me, and it's not obvious that federated social networking can reliably deliver that. Another issue is that while Mastodon started well out of the gate 5 years ago (which was when is first signed up for it), very little has happened since then. 'We're not those other guys' is not a sufficient recipe for changing the world.

An excellent point that I do agree with is how 'sticky' Twitter is and how (like many other big tech firms) the tools it gives you when you export your data aren't really that helpful/useful unless you have sufficient programming skills of your own to overcome the quirky formatting issues. It seems like there's an audience for a tool that leverages the Twitter API to scrape your following/follower data into a convenient format and perhaps automate the business of finding and reconnecting with those people on another platform.

I think it's reasonable to say Twitter's utility is rapidly waning, both as described and with each new day's manufactured drama. However, the network effect issue is a big one. If 'science twitter' decamps to 'science.social' it could quickly find itself effectively cut off from its public and derided by antagonists as a 'woke echo chamber populated by high IQ stupid people' to borrow a phrase from what passes for political discourse in 2022.

In a time where every constraint was extremely limiting (batteries, storage, cpu / SoCs, IO, displays) there were many interesting approaches to hardware and software designs for ultraportable computing.

Almost very PDA in the market had a fairly distinct OS -- or at least custom "spins", not unlike android today with manufacturer customizations.

I owned (and loved) several palm OS based devices, but I always looked at the folding "tiny laptop" form factor of the Psion series (and the Zaurus) with major nerd envy.
Value isn't the consideration with those cars. There are plenty of high-end Maserati's.
> I would paraphrase your answer as: speed trumps complexity, and any programmer that gets caught out by the complexity is just a bad programmer.

That's a strawmn. A complete mischaracterization of what I wrote.

> Either way, your answer does not address the issues listed in the paper.

The "issues" are just wrong, as I pointed out. Like the laughable "infects the entire system" comment using as their example an implementation of fork in which major layers of the system were entirely unaware of fork. Contradicting themselves with their own example. It's not a paper, it's a rant, and it doesn't somehow gain gravitas or value just by being laid out in a particular way.
Back when I was messing around with LSTM models I was interested in training classifiers to find parts of the internal state that light up when the model is writing a proper name or something like that.

Nice to see people are doing similar things w/ transformers.

Truth, though, is a bit problematic. The very existence of the word makes it possible for "the truth is out there" to be part of the opening of the TV series the X Files, see Truth Social. I'm sure there is a "truthy" neuron in there somewhere, but one aspect (not the only aspect) of truth is the evaluation of logical formulae (consider the evidence and reasoning process used in court) and when you can do that you run into the problems that Gödel warned you about -- regardless of what kind of technology you used.
Exactly! That skeeze Jimmy Wales is on record going after them himself.
I like dark mode very much these days even during the daytime because I find staring at a bright white screen runs the risk of triggering a migraine. Dark mode screens don't do that.

The contrast between pure white backgrounds and pure black text is too stark and causes greater eyestrain when it's directly transmitted light as opposed to reflected light. Displays in light mode that are reflective do not have this kind of strain because their background is more silvery.

Turning down the brightness on a display is not really the solution because most displays use pulse width modulation so you are just exchanging brightness for flicker and strobing effects.

I pose you this question, when it comes to paper, do you enjoy reading books that are printed on pure white paper which has had optical brighteners added to enhance the effect, or do you prefer a softer natural ivory or linen colour? Perhaps light gray? If so, then why should your screen be pure white?
Programming can be a hobby and hence time-expensive doesn't mean much. A language doesn't necessarily have to be more productive than other languages from the very start.
Western economies are thoroughly capture by financiers and US dollar hegemony and in particular the petrodollar.

All of these converge to push up asset prices irrespective of actual productivity.

The world has had no option but to buy US debt and or non controlling stakes in US companies. All of this has allowed asset prices to explode while the productive economy and our standard of living has stagnated or declined.
Or trading in a car on good faith that they will pay off the trade in.

But months pass and they don’t pay it off..

Then, after escalating, they pull a fresh payoff amount directly from your bank and pay that.

Leaving the buyer with either:

a) late payment marks on their credit from the old loan not being kept current with monthly payments, or

b) several months of lost monthly payments towards the loan for a vehicle that is no longer in the buyers possession
This is the wrong interpretation of my point

That entirely depends on the models. People who only know brands aren't "car" people anyway, and price isn't a great comparison.

Modern Maserati's are great driving cars with Ferrari heritage (and engines) that do command more prestige than a typical M or AMG model, especially in the Trofeo versions.
What's your basis for that? I see articles on phys.org everyday about researchers who are doing interesting things with batteries. It's hard to believe that with everything going on in the world that, say, somebody hasn't developed some supplies of cobalt less bad than the major ones.

Mastodon is a great example of pathetic web design. More than a few times has it completely failed to work for me at all just as in your case.

Please, PLEASE tell my why I can't see anything on the page without Javascript. What amazing cutting-edge Twitter-busting follower-thrusting technologies could Mastodon possibly be using that it needs me to turn on JS to see absolutely anything?

I still have my six-year-old iPhone 5S. Great panic yesterday when I thought I'd lost it. Wondering greatly how I could get a phone small enough to match my 'lost' one.

Great relief this morning when I retraced my steps and discovered it was being held in a shop I'd visited yesterday.

I was about to start the search for an iPhone 13 Mini. I note that most people use those huge iPhone 14 monstrosities. I did my time with large heavy mobile phones back in the 1990s and early 2000s. I don't wish to repeat it.
In high-tax states, where Federal + State taxes exceed 50%, it is now possible (but rare!) to 'make money' by donating.

Let's take someone with a 53% marginal income tax, living in NYC. The person has stock with a basis of $0.0 with a current value of $10, and has held the stock for less than a year (short term capital gains = ordinary income rates). Separately, they have $1,000,000 of income.

Scenario 1) Donating the stock would produce a $10 tax deduction, worth $5.3.

Scenario 2) Selling the stock would produce $10 of returns - $5.3 in income tax = $4.7

In this scenario, donating the stock produces higher returns compared selling the stock. It's a fairly obtuse scenario, since it's rare for the cost-basis to be so low, time-span to be so short, and to have a good use for a tax deduction. It becomes much more likely when a completely illiquid & price inflated stock is donated. If a large chunk of illiquid stock is sold, it'll crash. But donating an inflated chunk of stock would lock in the tax deduction.

Donating shares of a stock when a person knows insider information is called 'insider giving', and is highly prevalent & largely unenforced. https://dlj.law.duke.edu/article/insider-giving-avci-vol71-i....
I suspect near-zero interest rates for a decade also contributed to the political realignment of affluent suburbs trending Democrat. So long as the Fed would buy federal debt cheaply and there was no significant inflation, Democrats could advocate multi-trillion social programs while promising to maintain Reagan-era tax rates on even quite affluent folks.
