I doubt Jensen Huang or Lisa Su are going anywhere any time soon. They're very entrenched and respected in their companies.

Also, they have the perfect excuse now: "you see dear members of the board, we're in a global economic recession, that's why GPU sales are low, not that we priced them way too high compared to previous generations".
On that topic. I never understood why the initiation needed to be audible, but afterwards the connection was silent.

Yeah not rock like because it's probably a cosmic dust bunny. An extremely low density object composed of dust with large voids.
To add examples: i have seen bad posture from otherwise good systems, e.g.:
- not having MAC (apparmor or, preferably, SELinux) implemented

- not managing user permissions per least permissions principle

- not restricting access to bashrc

- not using Wayland opportunistically for a key app, e.g. emacs

- not LVM encrypting during the initial install

- not enabling memory and CPU protections in kernel (Ubuntu, Fedora, etc get most of this right ootb)

There are more examples, and I'm not a security professional, but it's enough to give the flavour of the kinds of problems in defensive Linux security.
> they will use external facing screens that recreate the appearance of the wearers face

Honestly that sounds horrifying and straight out of some Black Mirror episode. Possibly it comes with an app that makes your external face smile and covers up the bags under your eyes?
5G is a massive marketing miss (or misunderstanding?) Because speed presented in 5G hype articles were speed of mmWave (Ultra Wide Band), but for most of people mmWave is not going to work because those frequencies can't penetrate obstacles, including walls, glass or even vegetation.

So people will usually get Sub-6Ghz 5G on their phones, which is only marginally faster than current LTE and now we have the source of disappointment here.

As I see it, sales people were selling mmWave speeds, without realizing that it is not going to work for most of their customer.
You also mean “paid labour From the worlds most profitable corporation” right?

Other restaurants could use some of the ML stuff. Starbucks for instance. I go there all the time ordered an iced mocha and 1 out of every 5-10 times I get a white mocha and they have to remake it. That’s 7$ they lose out even if it was all profit. This could be easily fixed with a camera and a ML model that ensures the drink is the right order.
There's a cricket VR? can you tell me more (on a dm perhaps)
Thank you for the kind message!

A note that if you're maybe using Studio Display with other non-Apple monitors, the next version of Lunar (https://lunar.fyi/) will add instant brightness syncing from Studio to the external monitors.

Given that the Studio Display's brightness is adapted by the system using it's accurate internal light sensor, it's nice to have that capability added to the other monitors as well.
Note that in these contexts (comparing with European, Asian cities) tunnels are typically employed to (1) carry mass transit (which requires and in turn supports density), and (2) carry through traffic through dense urban centers without having to take up as much surface space.

Keep in mind that low-density sprawl is likely to
* create much higher infrastructure costs (in terms of streets, utilities, etc) per capita (I believe Strong Towns has written extensively on this topic);
* force more people to buy, drive, & maintain a car (and spend more time commuting) when they would not otherwise need to (if you like driving, good for you, but it isn't for everyone).

Google Maps. We're all taking it for granted, but imagine all the edge cases, complex real-world infrastructure and data analysis that goes into mapping the streets and buildings so well that it actually works, even in small towns.

It's much more impressive than Google Search. Given enough compute/storage, I feel like I can build a search engine. With Google Maps, I would have no idea where to even start.

I think at least the China situation or lack of manufacturing capacity will resolve itself by the end of the year. Reshoring will change things but I think over the next 2-3y, making it so that overall the big turbulence we live now goes down slowly until the end of the year and then stabilizes at a higher inflation rate than expected (3-4-5% out of my magic hat), but not as wild as now.
Yeah, but again, you have to go to reddit to find topics about books, and there is a ton of other things there as well, like irrelevant ads, distractions, etc. I would love to have a clean UI
Slight correction: Swift‘s ARC is not a GC (the compiler just inserts retain/release calls where it’s necessary), and one can write very performant code by steering clear of reference counted types, and Objective-C types (dynamic dispatch is really slow). Value types with copy-on-write shouldn’t impose much overhead. Automatic inlining is progressing nicely AFAIK, and recently introduced concurrency can collapse callstack frames (not sure Rust does that).
Dual redundant internet(!), the wifi gear to reliably support that many devices, the cost of more expensive equipment, the added cost of support contracts to keep those fancy sensors working, especially since in a lot of locations they're probably the only food service place using them.

...and then the infrastructure of running the cloud services to support things like every restaurant's K8 cluster hitting a git server constantly throughout a day.

...and then there's the overhead of three separate dev ops teams.

etc.
First thing I did when I finished education was reducing to a 4 day week. Life already got so much better, it felt like at least twice as much free time. Even thought it's 'only' 50% more.

In that free time I built businesses and today I sometimes just work an hour a week. And I never loved working as much as I do now. And honestly when I do working weeks at maybe 30 hours a week I am still way more productive than I ever was with 40 hours.

If you ask me the whole system is broken. Working 40 hours a week shouldn't be normal, sure if people want to why not, but it shouldnt be the usual offering, it shouldnt be the amount people need to work to have enough money for that little free time that is left.

Also starting at 8 o clock. I mean what the fuck is that? Nobody cares about the % of people who are way more productive at evening and need a long sleep. It's completely up to oneself to find a way to adapt in this world
Looks good to me as a rough back-of-the-envelope calculation to get the orders of magnitude right (the speed will go down as the object is climbing out of Sun's gravity well).

However, you're still missing a guesstimate for alien lifespan. Do you have reasons to believe they live shorter than 33552 Earth years?

Also, is 38 km/s really the top speed for hypothetical interstellar ship?

I imagine aliens that live on average 870 Earth years (~10x average lifespan of a female Japanese) and travel at 9,000 km/s. They can easily make Sun-Proxima Centauri trip six times in a lifetime.
Imagine the solar system as a guitar, now imagine a gravity rich "visitor" (like a ejected jupiter/saturn) plunging through, plugging on the gravitational relations string set. How long could you hear that sound revebrating, and could you untangle it if it happened multiple times? Could such a "visitor" suspend the gravitational shielding by the outer gas giants?

It should actually be doable with a de-convolution operation, once you compute the gravitational "click" accoustics of the solar system.
If my maths is right, then at that scale Proxima would be almost as far as the Moon: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=distance+to+proxima+cen...
Which direction are you talking? If you want to link against Rust there is little choice but to use a C layer because it doesn’t have a stable ABI.
Rust has a very real purpose. Make certain common classes of bug stop.

I don't see any real alternatives to it that go as far as Rust does for safety.

I'm not a Wayland fan due to the lack of keylogging (Needed for global shortcuts and easily writing daemons that use keyboard input) and screenshotting as standard features, but it's not like it's being forced on people, the community as a whole is demanding stronger and stronger security guarantees, "All your stuff has access to all your other stuff" doesn't seem to be good enough for many people.

Is it common to have single location unions? Seems to me that this does not add very much negotiation power for the workers.

In my country large unions negotiate for a whole sector, so all café workers regardless of their employer are covered by a collective agreement. You don't even have to be a member for the negotiated benefits (such as minimum wage) to apply: the collective agreement covers everyone in the sector nonetheless.

"with all the main modules under full load" does that imply GPU is 100% loaded?

I hope not, and then if I'm right and the GPU is more powerful than the Raspberry 4 one this board will run at 6W or something and then a stick-on heatsink wont do it...

The tenor of the post is more along the lines of "how can I adapt" rather than pining for the glory days, so that's nice, but I also have very little sympathy for this person.

The movie market was like a fiefdom, much like the music industry 20 years ago, and now streaming and internet have democratized access and content creation. You don't get $20M budget at the cost of hundreds of other independent films? Yeah, sorry, boo-hoo.

We're living in a golden age of TV. In the past decade there have been many in depth TV series that only a handful of movies dared to explore precisely because the industry was hits driven.

More than that, I've seen some exceptional B-movie sci-fi movies on Netflix in the past 10 years as well.

People who win at this type of game have the equivalent of survivorship bias. They don't realize how much is sacrificed to create their hit movie and how the industry contorts content to serve their distribution model.
That is still low because of the unpredictability. It might take weeks of work across many sites to find a bug. So the bounty needs to be high to compensate for that, if it is to be a career.

Is it really though? The benefit of space is it’s mostly empty and things stick to their trajectory due to not usually colliding with other things. A rock in the ocean is a thing inside another thing with tons of other things constantly acting on chaotically.

I imagine it’s easier to track a big rock in empty space than a normal size rock inside a vat of water with a bunch of other rocks and a multitude of various life forms to boot
That would make a good poster.
Yes, but we can't simply port C++ namespaces over because this requires symbol name mangling. C could be using 'namespace prefixes' instead with something like 'usingprefix stdc_', this wouldn't require changes to the symbol format, and would provide most of the features of C++ namespaces.
How often do you imagine that the solar system is being visited?

Radio waves have only been emitted for ~80 years. Industrialisation changing our atmosphere ~200 years. Even if something was persistently monitoring you are relying on “The creators” being within a short distance in light years to even have been notified.

Even being extremely optimistic about the speed of light not being absolute, other than wishful thinking - what makes you think that this scenario is “incredibly likely”?
No, those are not "sudden stop" situations either.

In fact the worst thing to do is to stop suddenly.

Even if a wheel falls off, you do not slam on the brakes unless you want to lose even more control.
What I don't get is why these unions need to be limited to a single shop/warehouse/whatever. Why not have a statewide/country-wide union instead? That's how you force a company to talk to you, by ensuring they cannot go around you.

I thought the US used to have profession-based unions, such as the teamsters union, who can have members all over the US?
I will also add that many problems in the US and other countries stem from the perversion of incentives and benefits of the few over the many. What I mean is that keeping this broken system in place as it greatly benefits the insurance companies, of which there are a few. It’s so valuable that they have the money and resources to buy the politicians, pay for the media campaigns and lobby the propaganda outlets to mitigate any power the populace has to address the issue. This allows industries to control pretty much all policy in the US. It’s a sad state of affairs.

I used to too, it took me a while to switch, but now I see the benefits. Obj-c does give a lot more freedom, and sometimes you still need it, but what initially felt restrictive does actually lead to less buggy and predictable code, and some protocols like codable cut out massive amounts of code.

I still rely on some stuff like GCD that isn't very swift like, there still isn't anything as fine grained in Swift, but I'm liking combine in some cases.
Not yet, this is not in our immediate roadmap.
Fundamentally what they've deployed here is something a lot of organisations struggle with or don't even recognize as worth having - A reliable edge which you can trust sufficiently to form the functional core of a site.

For a restaurant chain this is something worth putting the development effort into because once you've figured it out and ran it for a few years to demonstrate it's reliability you can pitch the shift from a network-optional edge at each site to a network-dependent site with intelligent components hanging off it and depending on it. That's a pathway to having a major competitive advantage in the medium term that your competitors won't be able to put into place overnight once they realize you've left them behind.

You can't get there with the amount of effort often put into untrusted edge sites like this - aka a pc in a cupboard. You also can't get there with cloud when the weakest element in the chain is unrealiable site connectivity.

They could have done it in a lot of different ways, but going with cheap commodity hardware and avoiding expensive cluster license nonsense (vSphere etc) were smart choices. Spend that money on a compenent centralized tech team rather than vendor shinyness, and you can do a hell of a lot more (and often move faster, to boot).
Yeah, but on the other hand, just a few days ago, I went into a Potbelly and had to leave because the point of sale system was "rebooting", and they could neither process credit cards nor even get the cash drawer open to handle sales the old fashioned way. Pretty much everyone in line behind me left too once they realized what was going on. Maybe if they'd had a Kubernetes cluster keeping their local systems online, they wouldn't have missed out on a busy lunch rush.
I wonder how much of this is due to Netflix' "algorithm" punishing promising new shows by cancelling them after season 1, or letting shows drag on way past their sell by date (Stranger Things anyone?).

In the old days of network television, a new show might struggle in the ratings trying to gain its audience, but a producer might champion and protect it enough until it gains a footing. For example, Lucille Ball kept this weird little scifi show called Star Trek alive until it became the hit franchise that's still going to this day. The Netflix algorithm would have cancelled Star Trek after a season and it would have been forgotten.

On the other hand, perhaps many shows got cancelled because a dumb producer just didn't get it, or there was behind-the-scenes politics where they fell out with a director or lead actor. But it seems overall that Netflix perhaps needs more of a human taste behind the scenes and less reliance on data-driven decision making.
California wine can be excellent but is overpriced, and I am a native Californian raised on California wine. French wine has impressively consistent quality at low price points. You can’t easily buy good cheap French wine in California I’ve discovered, but you can in other parts of the country. There are certain types of wine that California does better, but France does much better for the price generally. This was not the case a few decades ago, but global competition crushed the price of French wine and opened the global wine trade. France has so many regions that produce excellent wine without the brand premium of Bordeaux, Burgundy, et al.

Because I no longer live in California, there is excellent distribution of French wine where I live. Now I can buy myriad discerning $15 bottles of French wine that frankly are much better than what you can typically buy from California for the same price point in the US. California wines are overpriced for the quality. I’d prefer that were not the case but that’s the reality in my experience.

At any price point, French wine is lower risk than California wine. Their reputation for wine is deserved.

There will be plenty of other interstellar objects that pass through our solar system. Oumuamua wasn't some special once in a lifetime event, it's just we are just getting the capability online to see these objects. We will see these objects earlier and earlier, we will see a lot more of them, and in all likelyhood future missions will intercept such objects. Maybe even sample return someday.

> They do have an odor to them

I never had an egg that smelled unless it was bad (which too hasn't actually happened to me). My sense of smell is pretty good, I smell all kinds of little things (incidentally, I think that loss of sense of smell can be an early signal for approaching death, if there is no non-deadly cause to explain it).

I read the replies here: https://www.quora.com/Why-do-boiled-eggs-stink-but-scrambled... -- but I've never seen this in five decades of egg eating. I think I would remember a stinking egg (would make me more reluctant to make more for quite some time)? What does "overcook" mean in this context? I've done up to a little under 10 minutes for some larger eggs.

I think there may be something very wrong with the food, and subsequently the bodies, of your mass-incercerated and terribly treated chickens. I did see some funny eggs (inside colors) - that UI refused to eat - in places that bought the cheap mass-produced eggs. My mother also gets eggs with unnaturally deep colors, I think that's something they must have added to the chicken's prison food.

That's an issue I have with discussions - but also with studies - about this or that food, for example "meat is bad", but anything really, tomatoes or potatoes too. Each food type has a vast spread, and everybody just uses the name of the food but people are all talking past one another because they have vastly different actual food in mind.

It sounds like you are skeptical that computers and automation may be useful to streamline and make more efficient what is otherwise a tedious, manual process with many logistical elements.
Except that unions typically form the other way round: workers feeling aggrieved by their employers unionize to apply leverage to improve things. You're probably right that the lot of workers as a whole could be done better, but for an individual that's irrelevant.
