I've driven across Wyoming three times in an EV. About 5 years ago, when I first tried it, I cam to a Tesla charger with minor vandalism to two of the ports. The last visit, I tried to locate a 12V battery replacement for a 2018 Model X. Three tries, at shops in one of their towns, and I cam up with nothing. A short 1 hour drive back to Colorado got it replaced that day.

In winter, the interstates can get completely closed... I don't know, for days? Maybe a local can give some stories. I'm not sure I'd want to own an EV in Wyoming.

Yeah, we're adding people slowly because decentralized authorities like the one that tailnet lock implements can have nasty failure modes, e.g. some bug that prevents any new addition to the tailnet at all and forces manual recovery on each of your devices separately. So, we're putting miles on it with a little care, and making sure folks who sign up are aware of the current limitations and risks.
We’ve seen the actual camera/sensor module and its mounting hardware. It is pretty close to the size of the blacked out area in the menu bar.

That notch is a very clever way to expand the size of the screen without increasing the size of the case. There is very little downside. that middle part of the menu bar is not used by most apps. When there are more menu items, the system automatically skips over that notch.

"So we are not trying to derive quantum theory, or any other existing law, from anything. Our proposal is that the status of information in physics is analogous to that of (say) energy: given the laws of motion of physical objects, neither the concept of energy nor the conservation law for the energy–momentum tensor is necessary for making any prediction from initial data, yet our understanding of the physical world would be radically incomplete without them. The conservation law explains some aspects of motion as consequences of a universal regularity in nature—which is why we expect as-yet-undiscovered laws of motion to conserve the energy–momentum tensor too. Different physical systems that conserve energy can have very different laws of motion, so we do not expect to derive new laws of motion from the universal conservation law. It is a principle—a law of physics that constrains other laws rather than the behaviour of physical objects directly. Likewise, our theory of information consists of proposed principles of physics that explain the regularities in physical systems that are associated with information, including quantum information. This theory also constitutes a framework, not dependent on quantum theory, in which information under a broad range of theories (including ‘post-quantum’ theories, or theories supporting hypercomputation) could be understood, provided that they obey the principles. None of the existing theories of information is adequate for any of these purposes."
In the Netherlands it went a bit further than mere bickering. There were large scale protests against children being killed in traffic [1]. In the end, instead of introducing more buses or mandating helmets for bicycles, they decided to fix the infrastructure instead.

Printer companies are all basically evil, but Brother somehow got a decent reputation. I've got an old brother printer that isn't affected by this, and I really hope they do right by their customers here.

Any company can get scammed on crap parts, either because they took a gamble trying to save a few cents or because those parts were all they could get their hands on, but now that's come back to bite them it's up to brother to put things right. It'd be shame for brother to trash their brand over a batch of bad capacitors. I've been happier with my current printer than any printer I've had since I got rid of my old dot matrix Epson, but we're going to need a new printer eventually, and I'd really like to not have to think too much about what brand to get or recommend.

Perhaps, but language is the common denominator in a multi-model world. E.g., I pass the GPT output into other models which are fine tuned for that sub domain. You can do embedding to embedding conversion, but not sure it's worth the effort.
You got to start somewhere and normalize it.
100% agree, but I think the actual number of use cases are not that many, the implementation complexity is high, and on top of that you then need buy-in from all the apps.

Would be really cool, though.

A potentially easier idea I have ruminated on is just letting apps (or better, having the OS almost force them to) expose a "current app environment state" that any other (authorized) app could read and subscribe to (in some waves hands efficient way).

Even in this example, though, you already have security concerns: do I want other apps to be able to know that my file browser is perusing the "pr0n" directory? If no, then how do we put the user in charge of that kind of thing in a way that is simple enough not to make the entire idea more trouble than it's worth?
I'm closing in on 20 years at the US Naval Research Lab. Which, contra the name, mostly works on basic research - AI, chemistry, meteorology, space weather, and a cutting edge spacecraft engineering group.

It's a pretty good gig. The working environment is, AFAIK, pretty similar to the DOE labs. The pay is lower than FAANG, but the work life balance is a whole lot better, the research facilities are terrific, and the research money is a lot better than, say, in academia. We tend not to recruit young engineers that well. We tend to have more success recruiting folks who have been in industry and have come to realize that paycheck size is not the only thing to look for in a career.

There are a handful of non-DOE government labs around that are similar. Not all NASA labs, but NASA/Langley and NASA/Ames are research focused. There are also FFRDCs, which are a bit more towards the applications side (hence, a bit closer to industry than academia). JPL, APL, MITRE, etc. They all have different focuses depending on how comfortable you are being close to the military-industrial complex (MITRE) or not (JPL).

Also, as a suggestion completely from left field: the State Department is always looking for people with an engineering background to work in the foreign service. They do a lot of negotiations around and provide assistance in engineering-related fields, but engineers don't tend to view the foreign service as a career. So if you sign up you get to bypass the normal seniority-based foreign service career path, and you get assigned to an American embassy somewhere overseas (usually, as I understand it, in Europe or Asia). They cover your living expenses on top of your salary. If you love to travel, it's a thing to consider.
> If I'm not scared and uncertain of how I am going to do something, of if something is even possible, than I probably am not tackling a hard enough problem.

I like that sentence a lot. I'm working on something new at my job that's hard and uncertain, and it's the most fun and motivated I've been in my (fairly short) career as a software engineer. I might keep that idea around as a heuristic.

I had some major battery and charging issues while sleeping with 2 older macs that were a challenge to isolate. It turned out that in one case, the charging brick itself had started having problems and couldn't keep up with how quickly docker was demanding power. Got that replaced under warranty.

The other was just a straight-up hardware issue with the computer. I'd close the lid close to a low battery and let it stay closed long enough for it to hibernate, and then when I'd open it back up it will have completely drained and I'd get a kernal panic. They replaced it after quite a lot of back and forth until I was able to prove it.

I'm really intrigued by this, because I like postfix notation and would love to be able to work more with in. Unfortunately, I only somewhat understand the examples!

Question: Does the postfix notation allow you to chain commands together that in bash would have to be nested in brackets, like actual postfix math?

So for example, rather than the infix need of brackets to resolve ambiguity in this expression ((1 + 2) * 3) = 9, postfix just writes it like this: 1 2 + 3 * = 9.

The 13” MBP has an M1 processor that only has support for 1 external display. It has the same internals as the MacBook Air.

The 14” and 16” MacBook Pros have M1 Pro and M1 Max processors and they support more video streams. The M1 Pro supports 2 external displays and the M1 Max supports 4.
How does that help in this scenario? The need for the unencrypted data necessitates the decryption key on device. Putting it in accessible software rather than a tpm is the problem here.

> Not only would I say that research isn't special, but I would also say that, just like every other field of creative endeavor that doesn't intrinsically bring a lot of money, those who write the checks (and those who focus on currying their favor) call the shots and sit at the center of influence networks and control the flow and direction of creative production.

I definitely agree, but at the same time, those who call the shots did not get there by accident either.

> I take issue with what I see to be a lot of odd presumptions in your comment:

> (1) the concept of general human intelligence (...)

Sure, this concept is not perfect. However, do we have any better alternative than using it, along with past performance, for the purpose of predicting future performance? The answer is, to anyone who pays attention, clearly "no". It is easy to criticize and to repeat platitudes about late bloomers and the like, what is harder is to make an actual hiring decision, when the goal is to maximize quality of the output of the research group. At some point, if you can't cut it, your research career will be over, and if that's to happen, it's really best for you if that happens sooner rather than later.

> (2) the bounded class-like environment usably maps performance to a capability to successfully conduct research in an unbounded academic research environment, and

Where did I said anything about "class-like environment"? If you read my comment carefully, you'll observe that I discussed "obtaining much better results, understanding things more quickly and getting better ideas", not getting higher scores on exams.

It is worth mentioning, though, that people who get higher scores on exams also tend to enjoy better success in an unbounded academic research environment.

> (3) some suitably generic conception of "intelligence based capability" exists which can accurately rank various fields of theoretical or applied research skills

> (4) that if you rank these fields of research by the intelligence level of its average practitioners, academic research requires world class intelligence, higher than what is demanded by startups and the corporate world, with starting a family dead last

You're constructing a complex strawman to respond to a very simple advice of "if you're not cutting it in academia, better quit early rather than later, and don't expect that you can make it through hard effort alone". My advice in no way implies these "odd presumptions".

Indeed, and if the field is professional football, and you tell someone that "if you're not cutting it professional football, better quit early rather than later, and don't expect that you can make it through hard effort alone", this is in no way controversial, in fact it is rather common sense. When the activity is intellectual, rather than physical, however, people tend to react more emotionally, or allow their ideology to overshadow some hard facts about human existence.
That’s the state of Web 2.0 I guess? Google also plans to rank AI-aided good content lower than thin blog posts that have contributed to SEO spam.

Disappointing that it's so rare for knowledge workers to get their own offices nowadays.
About 7 years ago, I did a 6 months contract where I had my own office and it was great.
Nowadays, knowledge workers are treated like cattle. There's just so many of us.
Knowledge and intelligence used to be precious, now they're treated as cheap commodities.

Also, there are a lot of people who are working in knowledge fields who have no curiosity at all - They
seem to be doing it entirely for money and/or status - These people are absolutely awful to deal with if you care about the work.

They couldn't care less for the work and are all too happy to throw the project under the bus to protect their status and keep playing the role of the big boss in a bad movie.

Stakeholders couldn't care less either; so long as they can keep finding investors to pour money into their pointless projects, they don't care if the project leaders are incompetent.
Sure.

You can be entrusted to work on your own little bet project for somebody in a C suite and you become so low on the priority that you're out of mind.

During a power vacuum, you can play teams off each other in a multiple bosses strategy and appeal upstream in the org chart. The exploit here is the company hierarchy in practice is closer to the Habsburg monarchy than some binary tree.

The multiple boss play can get you to a no boss play in this situation because each one will assume you're doing important things on other projects.

All of this requires a keen skill at social engineering. I worked at a place where I didn't have a meeting with anybody for about a year. I played the meetings off each other at first and they all slowly became optional and eventually I got them off my calendar.

I should probably use my time doing better things but I'm really lazy.

These are all hacks. YMMV.
They didn't mention the technology used, which is called IRENE.[1] Both cylinder and disc recordings can be imaged. This results in a huge 3D model of the recording medium, which can then be "played" in simulation. Even broken records can be recovered.

Oh is that all the problem is?

Anyone with automated deployments and self provisioning should be fine with that risk. I thought it was a lot more premature than this.
I was mostly answering that last question, "How did they manage to get the engineering talent when seemingly FB, MS, Netflix, Amazon, Google are all fighting for that talent?"

which I think is a false assumption - they don't need as much engineering talent, they do more with less.

> How do you like your Enphase batteries?

I'm mostly happy with them. The batteries are pretty much set-and-forget, but I change the reserve level by season (90% in winter, 30% in summer). The system automatically decides how to do load shifting to optimize for your particular rate structure. I will say the monitoring software can be janky at times. It's gotten better, but sometimes it is very slow to connect to the system.

> I'm paying $.90/kWh at summer peak

Whoa, where is that? That's 2x more expensive than California or Hawaii. You must be on a wholesale rate plan with very low off-peak rates if you are considering arbitrage. It's also good that you waited until this year, because before the IRA, the residential battery tax credit was only available if you charged it with on-site renewables, not from the grid.

I don't do any grid arbitrage in the sense of buying low and selling back to the grid from my batteries when rates are high. That's not possible for homeowners in CA, is it in your area? However, several places in Southern California already have home-battery based virtual-power-plants that you can participate in, and I think it integrates with Enphase batteries. In those programs, the arbitrage is managed by a 3rd party company which then compensates the homeowner.

However, my evening loads during the peak rate hours do draw on my battery until it hits its reserve level, so what I do is more like peak-rate avoidance than arbitrage.

My batteries also don't charge from the grid, just from my PV array. With subsidized net-metering 2.0, the difference between peak and off peak for me is only $.07/kWh, so there's really not a ton of economic value there, maybe like $70-80/year at most.

Ideas are easy, execution is hard. No matter how you look at it, you are better off today than you were before this company appeared.

You’ve got a few choices:

1. Contact them and get a job. If you’ve been thinking about this for years, you have domain expertise to bring to the table.

2. Use their funding and launch as leverage to raise your own money. If someone invested in them, that means smart money (all money thinks it’s smart) is going into the industry. Use that to raise angel/VC

3. Find another idea to pursue and wish these folks the best. They are making a go of something that, for one reason or another, you weren’t able to. Like you said, it’s good for humanity. Great.

But really, ideas are easy. There is not, nor should there be, any prize for having a good idea. Bringing a decent idea to market is far more noble than having the best idea ever.

This obdurate refusal to support MST is indeed awful (and, actually, a minor one of the few reasons I mainly stopped using Macs).

But it is "just" a software problem, right? So they could come to their senses and change their mind.

It seems insane to me to keep putting DisplayPort ports on computers when we have USB-C, but it also seems insane to ship machines with crippled USB ports that don't support more than one monitor... so I wouldn't be surprised if they fix their OS in this regard.

(Apple being Apple though, the software fix might well "require" an M3 processor....)
> getting caught in a wildfire evacuation zone without a fully charged battery.

How is that different from getting caught in some disaster without a full tank of gas, or at least enough gas to make it out of the area?
those jobs were never wfh to begin with.
It's probably from people that switched to Macs back when there wasn't a single decent non-Apple trackpad and it was like jumping forward a decade in input experience. I assume there are some good non-Apple trackpads these days, but honestly wouldn't know for sure since I'm one of those people that switched back in the day and almost never use non-Macs now. So my default assumption will always be that non-Apple laptops all still come with tiny little non-responsive trackpads with bad texturing.

For the palm rejection, I almost never have erroneous inputs, and I think that's true for most people. And it's not that I don't physically mistouch; I realized how important and active the filtering is one time when I was doing something weird with my laptop that disabled palm rejection (maybe using my MacBook as a Bluetooth input for another computer?) and it was basically unusable from all the erroneous inputs.
If you are saying they should have to explain or justify why they block traffic to TikTok's services, you are saying they don't have "the power of say". Because you are saying that power is conditional on you accepting their explanation.
