Skepticism of every and each human mRNA vaccine was completely warranted before we had data. That's why there were (and are) clinical trials, all of which do post-treatment data collection (some for 2 years). Exactly to get solid reliable data about effects of mRNA vaccines, exactly so that we can definitively say whether it was a good call or not, whether the continued skepticism is warranted or not. (Or more precisely, how much skepticism is warranted.)

Appropriate amount of skepticism about long-term (5+ years) consequences is still warranted, though as time goes on that amount is seriously decreasing.

What's your point?
Yes and no. People have built speaker amps out of Dynahis. Due to the small size of the PCBs, it is trivial to do bi/tri-amped designs (with the woofer using a different amp or multiple stacked Dynahis). The Dynahi is, admittedly, a ~25w amp (at least, at near-zero distortion and clipping conditions) when firing into an 8 ohm typical load, which means it isn't a headphone amp either; the Dynamite configuration (balanced Dynahi) doubles this output.

Note: the best tweeters ever made have rather strange electrical characteristics, in the same vein that some headphones do. The Dynaxx family tends to handle anything, high or low ohm (even speakers that are 4ohm nominal or headphones that are 1000+ohm), but also ones with ridiculous impedance curves. People have realized that due to its exceptional tolerance of weirdly designed speakers, it makes for a good speaker amp too. 25w is enough to drive these tweeters loud enough, and some mids as well; woofers, no, not with a single board.

Kevin Gilmore also has sequels to his Dynaxx family (these being, themselves, improved versions of the KG Dynamic), due to some parts being replaced as they've fallen out of production and are hard to buy now.
It's a DAP. I mean, sure, you could be doing smart device things on it, but really it only runs Android to get easy access to streaming services and media apps.

So it doesn't really matter, as the vast majority of owners aren't going to be doing anything that will get it compromised. Many might never connect it to the Internet again after setup.
I had to use Outlook recently after a decade or so to help someone declutter their mailbox.

I was shocked how unintuitive and sometimes insane that software has turned to. It's basically useless.
After spending hours trying to sort the emails, we decided to just back them up and delete everything.
My friend moved to Gmail.

I wonder what happened? Old Outlook while having some shortcomings was a manageable piece of software, whereas the new one is completely unusable.
Other Microsoft software suffer the same problems like Teams. I feel sorry for any workplace that is using any Microsoft software.
There are exceptions like VSCode, but given how things work at Microsoft, I wouldn't be surprised if VSCode turned into crap nobody wants to use anymore.
I'm not sure free/cheap Unix workstations are a ubiquitous experience (indeed I don't think I've ever seen a skipped working Unix box!) Late 90's was good for SPARCs but I spent a load of time looking out for AIX kit and it was seriously hard to come by, without spending a lot of money.

Also, even if that works for individual hobbyists, it doesn't scale to things like University courses. There having Linux means it's easy and cheap to teach unix-like setups. Whilst top-end universities might be able to kit out labs with Unix workstations, it's been much cheaper to setup labs with PCs and Linux for a long time.

So Universities will churn out thousands of people familiar with Linux tooling every year, leading to easier hiring leading to more companies adopting Linux.
IANAL but copyright allows you to control the reproducing medium, in the case of DRM this would be the digital files. It doesn't allow you to control the ideas presented in the medium, so copyright alone cannot restrict you showing the page you're reading in your e-book to your friend or friendly AI. If you publish on the internet you can by copyright restrict someone else from downloading your work and putting it up somewhere else, but you cannot restrict who views it if you put it in a public place. There are other license agreements for that of course but then you'd have to force people to agree to it in order to view your blog post or fan art first. Nothing is stopping gated community sites that require an account to view stuff to require a suitable license agreement. I'm pretty sure it would restrict the views though..

Regarding "just scraping the data to adjust model weights using an algorithm", all research so far shows that the brain does just this, even though the full details of the algorithm are unknown and all the places the weights are encoded are not known in full.

It's very hard to make an argument against these warrants beyond "new is bad". And that is a pretty terrible argument. People should be aware of this sort of warrant. Arguably these warrants should be limited to use in serious crimes (to avoid their use against protestors). But I personally think this is a fine use of these tools.

The article was about that person's reality of 230km round trip commute each day, and the discussion was related.

A 15min commute as you have is a different situation (much better!). Nobody is trying to take away your car. I realize that it is often framed that way in US media, as if the options are public transport OR private cars. I have a car in the Netherlands which I use for some trips where public transport is not the better choice. But when possible, especially when going from one major city to another, public transport is such a nice luxury. (It also means I can go have fun at that late night party and never face the decision of whether to drive somewhat inebriated or not.)
In Japan, it's interestingly rarely cheaper to buy packs than to buy the same number of individual items.
I hear ya, understand, and applaud you nonetheless.

Fun anecdote, in the 80s, after watching top films like "American Ninja 1" or "American Ninja 2", we found out 3.5" floppies make for great Shurikens.
all politics is a method of neutralising democracy. Look at our own political system - we vote once every 4 years for person or party based on what they promise to do, only for them to be free to disregard such promises once in power. It must be obvious that it is a charade by now
Artistry vs. the Algorithm
Mate, it runs Android. Of course you can stream music as you can just download the apps to do so. That's the whole point of it running Android and not some other OS (because Android is a bloated hog, but it has apps).

I find it bizarre that you are into technology yet can't infer that.
Yeah, Brexit is a factor, but it's also one of many and it's important we tackle all of them. The private finance initiative (PFI) in the early 00s, is another[0]. Our government's lack of funding is also another ("The UK has spent around 20 per cent less per person on health each year than similar European countries over the past decade")[1]. Privatisation has been linked to not treating otherwise treatable deaths[2], so that's likely another. Then there's unwillingness and delay in many areas, to tackling air quality by reducing local pollution from car wheel breakage (linked to bad health)[3] by building more cycling infrastructure so that people don't have to be afraid of getting hit by a car[4] (and actually end up cycling). And disincentivising unhealthy diets[5] that are linked to hospital admissions, and amusingly urban planning like more cycling lanes can help people exercise without even really thinking about it like people already do in the Netherlands.

I think often it's poverty or relative poverty. Your examples in Asia would probably fall under relative poverty, given that you are in Norway.
I've heard this repeated quite a bit, and while I haven't checked the AI scripts themselves (although I don't recall/imagine there being a script facility to give oneself resources..) I can say that, engine-wise, the only handicap behavior for AI that I've noticed is:

- On the highest difficulty ("Hardest"), AIs are bestowed 500 to all resources on next-age research completion.
- Work rates for researches are skewed to be slower for the lowest-difficulty setting.

> I assume that those 1.5 "million lines" do not contain any unsafe features Rust allows for. Am I correct here?

Because as Rust grows it is easier to model more behavior and less unsafe is needed. They mention this in the article.

> There are exactly two uses of unsafe in the UWB code: one to materialize a reference to a Rust object stored inside a Java object, and another for the teardown of the same. Unsafe was actively helpful in this situation because the extra attention on this code allowed us to discover a possible race condition and guard against it.

> In general, use of unsafe in Android’s Rust appears to be working as intended. It’s used rarely, and when it is used, it’s encapsulating behavior that’s easier to reason about and review for safety.

If you put code online publicly-readable then there is a signicant probability that it is allowed to train ML on it. So the first step you need to take is not doing that. You must ensure that anyone that reads your code has first signed an agreement not to train ML on your code.

If like GPL you want to allow people to share your code further, and make derivative works, then you must ensure that those people lock such works behind restrictions in the same way, such that derivative works can also only be read after signing the license.
"US Flights grounded because a single mistake by a person not trying to do anything wrong".

Many brushless motors (fans, electric scooters) have digital output (i.e. on/off) hall sensors triggered by motor magnets to read a coarse motor's shaft (to know which coil should be energized).

There is even a higher resolution approach of using two or three analog output hall sensors sensing motor magnets to read fine stator position (for example, gimbal motors for DJI drones use this technique).

Then there are ICs that contain several hall sensors that are arranged to measure absolute angle of diametrically magnetized target (these are the one's used in hall effect potentiometers, and I've seen them used for position feedback in brushless motor control).

So, most likely your project had an issue with sensor placement, or the sensor wasn't correctly selected for the application
They are no more finicky than IR sensors reacting to sunlight, or just about every type of sensor *also* being a temperature sensor: you have to be aware of what exactly is the sensor measuring and how the environment may affect it's measurements.
> you cannot restrict who views it if you put it in a public place

actually, public display is one of the rights that the copyright holder can control too. Private display, on the other hand, is not. So you can show it to your friend, or AI in private, but not project it in a public place unless the copyright holder agrees.
>Households in some locations could reduce their annual transportation-energy costs by $600 or more, and cut their annual carbon footprint by more than 4.1 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents, by buying a new EV.

600 USD/yr sounds like much less than the cost of a new electric car. Until that changes, "research" like this is useless.
It’s not. I can listen to audio from anywhere else except this site.

Just hooked my phone up to look at the console and noted that the resources are not being loaded.

I have a pihole running and checked that log and can see that fish.muted.io is being blocked due to it being listed in in one of the pihole default blocklists that it downloads.

That’s enough for me to give it a miss anyway.
Obviously it's not all devs, but there is a kind of dev that is exactly like that. Look at the comments on the KDE article [1] that was on the frontpage yesterday. Yes, Linux power-users are for sure a skewed and biased subset of devs BUT they do exist.

I don't want to be connected to the Internet all the time, yet still listen to music? Is that not a good enough reason?

And contrary to what many seem to think, cellular data is not always available and data caps are still a thing.

If I sound pissed off, that's because I am. I've seen an ever increasing number of comments like yours that just dismiss things because they don't see the value to them. They then phrase their dismissal as an innocent question (which, honestly, comes across as very condescending).
That thing is running android. The battery usage on android phone is based on network access. If you install as many apps as you do on this walkman than on a regular mobile phone, it won't last better. Also if like me you don't install any social media app or anything that connect on a regular basis to some service and play music stored locally on your sdcard your smartphone will also last for days.

I can understand wanting to use an affordable tiny ipad nano like device instead of a smartphone. But I don't understand this, being 3 times more expensive than a decent entry level smartphone unless you want to use it with high quality over the ears noise cancelling headphones.

None of this should matter as long as the algorithm determining randomness is deterministic.

The bottleneck is player input which is the most overestimated bandwidth stat in gaming. It's mouse movements and a couple of keys strokes per second. Top Starcraft players are in the 300 actions per minute range, that's still just 5 per second.

Sending state updates every 200ms made my spidey sense tingle. Most industrial control systems of the 90s would work on continuous 200ms polling through the network. Mostly RS485 links at 9600 baud.

The thing is that this is perfectly reasonable if your network infrastructure is known. If you have fixed bandwidth and deterministic packet sizes, then you can do math and know what the behavior will be. Determinism is good! Also this assumes the network is single purpose. Which it was! For games in the 90s it was! This isn’t bad design, it was good design for the network infrastructure people would have had at the time!
The Julia community is small and has no large commercial backers. Projects such as TF/PyTorch require community support and a lot of investment which Julia just doesn't have. In fact, Julia isn't even trying at the moment to "compete" with TF/PyTorch [1, 2].

Oh, sorry — by "copying bytes from one to the other," I meant copying bytes from the disk to the network interface controller on the same physical computer. It's true that beyond that it'll depend on the network topology connecting you to where you want the data to be, and how fast the machines in between and on the other end are!

I don't know enough about custom fiber to know whether that will help stretch past being network-bottlenecked — most NICs max out at 10 gigabits/second, but I've heard of faster ones. Eventually you might be able to make yourself disk-limited... Either way, backing up one file is probably easier than backing up a zillion files scattered around the filesystem.

My theory is that because a lot of people here come from CS/STEM, they think they can easily understand economics because they have a sufficient background in "hard" fields. You see the same with engineers/mathematicians/physicists who have a disdain for economics.
Why though? What specific thing does PyTorch do that TensorFlow doesn't do in a large monolithic Python application?
But that's not the language's fault. As a C++ developer I worked with developers who were scared to use the STL and were using MFC containers in 2017. Still using Visual Studio 2008 because it would take a mammoth task to move the 6.5 million LOC to a modern IDE. They eventually did it when I left but even the senior developers were oblivious to C++11 features like move semantics, lambdas etc. Hopeless.

It's not the fault of the language if developers are lazy or use the tool badly.
> Regular computer users are fin and like these UI changes

My experience is that regular users hate changes, period. Doesn't matter if it looks much prettier now. The button isn't where it was or changed color and they are now confused.

This is starting to change as more people had computers in a phase of their life where they were happy to experiment. But it will still be many years until the majority of the working population evaluates changes on design and performance criteria instead of just disliking them for being different than before.
Binary Exploitation Notes
This still smells like some greater problem. If retreating into our own private cars, solo, is the only way we can get some solitude and space from others, then we have painted ourselves into a corner.

Long ago I briefly shared an office with an "old guy" - an expert in a particular topic which gave him more freedom to behave strangely and not get fired. His strange behavior was to spend half of his lunch hour at his desk, leaned back, mouth wide open, napping. That was traditionally not acceptable behavior in a professional environment, but he apparently decided it was for him. So he did it. While it was a bit of a shock at first to the other employees, eventually we all became accustomed to it and even kept our voices down in the hallway outside when we new it was his nap time.

The point is that we have the freedom, even if it seems scary, to make some decisions about how we want our lives and how to get the balance we need. I am only just starting to learn how to do this.

The commute drive solo time is clearly not the same quality of solo time as many other options (choose your favorite).

When I had young children and a busy house, and my normal full time job, the bathroom was my solo space. Unsurprisingly, people didn't seem too interested to come bother me when I was in there. So I would read entire books while seeking solitude. Instead, it is conceivable that I could have just gathered everyone and made some agreements about what we all need, including sometimes privacy and quiet. Granted, a toddler will not respect those agreements, but the spouse can help ensure it works most of the time.
