I have worked in UK/Aus and for US owned/run and French owned/run (from aus) and aus owned/run (and others, I’m getting old). There definitely seemed to be a cultural difference with US based employees being much more reluctant to say anything negative (but this may have been nothing to do with at-will). I had assumed this was because they were afraid of losing their jobs by pissing off the wrong person, but it may well be something else entirely causing that.

In Australia, you have the opposite problem of randoms going “that’ll never work” to a CEO (which is not exactly endearing).
> What could cause the calibration offset to be zero?

A possible explanation can be found on part 4 of this post:

> [...] if the checksum is not valid, there is a loop that clears out the flash [...] I suspect (but haven’t tried yet) that if the battery of the controller dies while it’s writing on the flash, at the next startup the checksum does not match and the DS4 gets totally messed up like this one.

That is, according to that theory, it was trying to write something to the flash (perhaps while pairing?), and part of the write failed because the battery died. On the next boot, it detected a wrong checksum, and erased everything.
> Absolutely. We must be very, very cautious as a society when automating anything that can violate civil rights and individual liberties. The government must pass a very high bar indeed for that kind of thing.

I completely agree, we should promote artisan civil rights violations and handmade destruction of civil liberties. Of the shelf, mass produced crap will only lead to the lowest common denominator and we will loose the soul of such endeavours.
I type weather and my zip code. I don't care what the top post is.
I can only speak from personal experience, but whenever I've hired folks, that information was only shared with HR.

Requiring companies to collect these statistics helps add hard data to any future lawsuits. It can provide an insight into whether or not members of protected classes have been systematically discriminated against during certain phases of the hiring process.
> Frink has special syntax for date values. You can write # 2001-08-12 # to mean the date 2001-08-12

Frink? Frink?

This Visual Basic erasure can not stand. The #-delimited date literal syntax has been found all over the VB family: Visual Basic, VBA, VBScript, and it persists to this day in Visual Basic .NET.

Of course, being a VB syntax, it's completely cursed. You can put

# 01/05/2023 #

in a VB file, and what date it represents will depend on what locale it's.. compiled? executed? evaluated? in? Maybe? Depending on which VB dialect you're in? Good luck. Some of those languages would also accept

# 01/05/23 #

And they might even agree about what century it's in.
Why are car companies building chargers? Shouldn't it be the electric utilities doing this, just like the oil companies build gas stations? Seems like it could be a way to finance the increased grid capacity we're going to need. Cut out the middle man.

The difference is apparent when latency is high or packet loss is high. Bypassing poorly designed middle boxes is one of the goals of QUIC.
This one? https://www.googlebipasettlement.com/ No, you can't assume a settlement means guilt. In this case, Google likely decided that it wasn't worth fighting, cheaper to pay the fine. Google's change is to allow people to opt-out (not opt-in) while keeping the face grouping feature.

I don't really think much of these cases.
A VPN service would have no way of knowing the box you are connecting to is a seed box. Particularly if you connect over a different IP than you seed from.

Piracy is a local tort at worst, and not a crime. Certainly not something that can compel mandatory IP disclosure from multiple foreign entities at the same time for a US copyright claimant targeting an individual.

Even then if access to said seedbox is shared with multiple people they would need to prove who actually executed the choice to seed which files. Now you need a court order to get the FBI to travel to another country to use a hotplug device to seize the entire machine with memory in tact and do forensics.

If you do not do any logging then only recent files could be claimed if at all.

That much work to prosecute someone over their two most recently downloaded movies at worst? Never going to happen, and it never has.

There are exactly 0 cases of foreign seedboxes being seized over copyright claims.

I am not a lawyer and do not currently operate any seedboxes so take this as you choose.
You are right.

The high fat requirement is neglected when most first start this diet. People have been trained to fear excess fat so it does take extra directed effort to break out of the mindset.

Many manufacturers also remove fat so nutrition labels are more attractive to misdirected consumers ...this will generally lead followers of this diet away from overly processed foods (added benefit).

Live Updates: House Adjourns Again with No Resolution on Speaker
After 11 votes, there is still no Speaker of the House. Which has never happened in American history. No speaker, house cannot legislate. No government.

My mind automatically draws parallels to the Gracchi brothers who tried to reform Ancient Rome and were beaten to death in the Senate floor.
Thermoacoustic Heat Engine
Are these orchestrated by Foodbernetes? /s
yeah, that happens. the researchers hate it (the service provided is often inferior to their own in-house setup) and it's mainly to retain some level of funding for the lab, rather than benefiting the most users. Also, university infrastructure is far less secure than a cloud account run by a cloud provider.
Maybe in a few years if no competitors emerge.
They were relatively safe.

In 2000, bad actors couldn't do much with your computer. They could get your computer infected with virus for fun, but that was about it.
Not OP, but I'm still confused. Is this assuming that the language is naive in its implementation of string concatenation so it screws up Unicode?

I'm just not sure what the syntax has to do with the semantics of string concatenation.
I don't know how much they have changed the incentive structure lately, but the original goal was to build-out a large LoRa network and then transition it to have a business model based on customers buying access tokens and spending them as their packets get carried by the Helium network.

LoRa networks are not IP networks until the LoRa packets reach the internet edge and get backhauled to gateways that then deliver them to the owners of the data collected over LoRa. So anyone trying WiFi packet sniffing is barking up the wrong radio, and wrong layer 2.

Thing is, LoRa is not that big a business for commercial network operators, never mind oddball blockchain-based network operators. A lot of LoRa is deployed for a single purpose or application by the organization building both the sensors and the data collection network.
Yeah, it's a trade-off that's not discussed enough, IMO. Most general programming advice is directed at "programming in the large", involving many people, over a longer period of time, and the maintainability issues that go with that.

But you give up something to get benefits in those areas. Making use of the expressive power of something like Perl is a wonderful sensation. The barriers between thought and making it happen are lower, and so you can be remarkably productive. It is also just more fun, I find, which has subtle and under-valued long-term benefits.

But yeah, agreed that comprehending someone else's Perl-fueled vision quest can be ... rough (:
Yeah, I'm going to be one of those folks. Intermittent fasting always worked for me.

I think because it just keeps everything even or at least the hour-to-hour delta to a minimum. When you break it down into smaller meals, even if you are following the low calories through out the day, it can create a higher high/low that can swing through out the day.

Your mileage may vary.
I'm curious if can share LoC -> token count metrics?
I believe it. For floors, especially, the barrier to entry to the field is very low. Most of the important techniques you can pick up on the job during your first install.
Thanks for the detailed reply! Great answers and fills me with hope that perhaps Ello will work for us when our second or third starts reading.

We get the readers either from school or the library. Generally there's 1 reader a day from school, and maybe a little support book too. Then we just hire some from the library each week and use them to fill in the gaps, especially on the weekend. We have a wealth of other books, and hire picture books etc. for 'shared reading' times when we read to the kids after dinner etc.

"Comprehension comes after that" - makes total sense. Can see Ello being great at the decoding step, and yeah, some potential in ChatGPT and other new tech to assist more with comprehension.

Look luck mate, hope for you success!

> The economics don't work out. Why would you avoid something as trivial as board routing, as cheap as $2 per gigabyte DRAM, and as performance-enhancing as having gigabytes of main memory, just to use a 128 MB on-die (or on-package) SRAM (at a price of ~$500/GB?)?

Size? But then vendor could just ship the CPU+RAM stacked on top of eachother.
Any instructions beyond NAND are clearly bloat.
We are perhaps in something of a "quantum winter" at the moment, given the activity on the financial side of the QC industry as far as reverse listings, SPACs, and mergers have gone.

I work in this field as I find it compelling and the challenges of finding a worthy business case that applies beyond the fantastical potentials is one I feel worth my efforts/years. But equally open to failure where such yields an advance in our learning.

Aaronson is always an entertaining voice in the industry, although his focus on AI means less than I would hope to nudge us along at times. But he was in fine form at Q2B conference in Santa Clara recently, and I'm not anywhere near close to my contributions to the industry to ignore his thoughts as valuable to the discourse. Especially when pushing back on the emotional velocity we might have at times.
You can remove any option from any context menu or title bar, so I don't think that quite applies.

If you say that having any particular default means "my way or the highway" then that term becomes meaningless, no?

Tell him to look at moving to New Zealand. Good salary (for NZ), 4 weeks paid vacation and plenty of paid public holidays (mandatory) and a lot of jobs going. No health insurance but few people here have health insurance, and anything accident related is covered by a mandatory insurance (basically a tax) scheme.

This statistic is so misleading. I know you have honest intentions, but I think you find this statistic appealing because you have a worldview that poor people are helpless. If you read the actual report that statistic came from, you would see that about 40% said they had enough in savings to cover a surprise $500 expense. Another 21% said they would rely on a credit card, while 20% said they’d cut back on other expenses. Another 11% said they’d turn to family or friends for the money. So roughly 92% of people have a way of covering a $500 expense.

If you look at the discussion this statistic has started, it's basically a pissing contest of more and more extreme means that either help or hinder one's ability to move. But both sides of the argument are total strawmen: a vast majority of Americans can cover a $500 expense. Most people can find a way to move if they really want to. Those who can't are likely people you wouldn't want to hire.
Wages are generally controlled almost entirely by supply/demand. In an area where there are more people interested in doing a job than there is in demand for that job, wages for that occupation will trend towards the lowest possible value. In an area where there is more demand for a certain skillset than exists, wages will trend to the maximum affordable cost for anybody with that skill.

All the other stuff like expertise and value is, counterintuitively, near irrelevant. For instance postdocs are some of the most highly educated and ostensibly highly skilled individuals - and many have taken on hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to get to where they are, yet they earn about as much as a plumber does, because there's far more supply of postdocs than there are jobs/positions for them.

So putting all the theory into practice. There are usually three possible reasons. Supply is too high = excessively high rates of software training/education. Demand is too low = not many roles for software developers. Or the companies that are hiring aren't making much themselves so the "maximum affordable cost" is relatively low.
so then, if i want my code to "explicitly" use avx512, i have to do something like this?

You cannot power more than a femtocell with a solar panel, and these are too far out in wilderness with no wired backhaul to be a plausible mobile mobile network. In parts of Mexico you can take over a house and a power source to put up a real cell site.

This only applies if you had to use your normal contracting time to fix the toilet. If you're doing it on personal time the value isn't as obvious.

Do you want to get promoted or get a really good review, or are you ok with a standard review? If you’re fine with a standard review

1. Be on good terms with your manager

2. Be on good terms with your team

3. Work on some things that are higher impact

4. Make sure your work is visible publicly

That’s it. There are a ton of optimizations that people talk about to “game” the system, but if you simply do the things above you don’t have to worry about it. If you’re trying to get extra bonus or a promotion, you need to optimize those areas, but that’s completely up to you. PSC is completely overhyped
4 lbs of weight on each foot is a lot of weight. Probably not too bad when in a gait, but walking up stairs or long use would put high stress on your joints.

Wouldn't latency be horrible, if e.g. the drones are connected through wifi or bluetooth?

My understanding is that that's why until now no serious electric piano has ever proposed bluetooth audio connectivity for the player.

"It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer." That comes from Blackstone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstone%27s_ratio), and has been a bedrock principle of justice in English, English inspired justice systems, including the US.

Historically unanimous juries were required in criminal trials through the English speaking world, and that's still true in the US, Canada, and NZ at least.

For a period of time criminal trials at a state level could have majority verdicts in Louisiana and Oregon, but a recent Supreme Court case (Ramos v. Louisiana) declared this unconstituional, and federal cases (as here) always required unanimous verdicts. Somewhat oddly the UK has allowed majority verdicts in some criminal trials since 1967 (although I believe they're generally rare and somewhat controvesial), as does Australia. But they're very much the outliers.

> Unanimous seems pretty risky.

Generally speaking, allowing a pure majority has been seen as the risky option, given the stakes. (Much the same logic applies to the standard of proof required, which is "beyond reasonable doubt", otherwise phrased as there being no plausible reason to believe the accused might not be guilty. Obviously it would be much easier to achieve a guilty verdict if the standard was "preponderance of the evidence", but the goal of the system is justice, not guilty verdicts.)

Great feedback, I'm just gonna throw a "gtk-layer-shell" on top of the burning pile.

I just don't care though, I've resisted the GNOME-ire until recently (hoping it was "just" drama and would blow over or be fixed by technical decisions in the future) but now, I have given up on the idea that GNOME apps are going to continue to "seemlessly" co-exist in non-GNOME environments, like in the past. Fine.

Fortunately, between various Wayland tiling WMs, KDE, Cosmic on the way, there are other options that don't require GNOME, or even GTK+. Good riddance.
I am fairly sure that if this uses yt-dlp with the default options it will grab whatever is the highest available resolution video (and most modern codec) and merge it with the highest quality available audio track.

One thing I've found is that you have to call the right people. As tempting as it is to get a professional in the right field, you do find pretty quickly that they don't want small jobs. For that you will be much more successful if you talk to a handyman.
Youtube basically helps me do jobs I could already do, to a higher level of quality. Like painting a room, I now know the mistakes to avoid. But when it came to major drywall repair/replacement it was no help, there is must too much individual variation that experience trumps information.
I can vouch for the 515. I got one last year and I love it. Make sure you get the proper furniture stand for it. L515 I think.
You can be certain "the masses" won't use it if it isn't simple. You seem to want everyone to give up on the idea that Linux Desktop could become mainstream. The Gnome project wants to pursue that goal, and so does Valve apparently. I see nothing wrong with that, given that there are many options to fill every other kind of users' needs/wants.
This also applies to self-employed tradespeople who have good reputations in their area.
> Was very profitable 14-24 months ago but HNT crypto price has plummeted and helium founders pretty much bet the same type of deployment could happen for 5g deployments which has pretty much been a disaster.

When I looked into it, very little of the Helium miner payouts were coming from people using the network. Most of the payouts were from the network minting HNT to reward node operators, which they then cashed out by selling HNT to people on exchanges.

The obvious problem is that this model only works as long as the speculative value of the HNT token remains high. Once the speculative demand for HNT disappears, getting actual cash in exchange for mining operations is going to become very hard. Supposedly the operators planned on having actual end users pay to use the network, but that demand has been minimal so far.

They also had some problems where people discovered how to game the system and extract a lot of the rewards without providing much actual coverage. I don't know if they overcame these or not.

Like most crypto things, being early to the speculative game was the only way to make money. I suspect a lot of late arrivals who haven't even received their backordered miners yet are going to be in for some losses.
Yet, only 0.01% of these button pressers are in a different league from all the other button pressers. Everyone can use a paintbrush, but that isn't enough to be an artist.

Good benchmarks are often concerned with core to core latency due to the physical topology of the cores. I imagine we’ll see some expansion into which core complex is in use for a given test and comparing both of them.
