>it seems just as plausible that the police shot at him, he shot back, and then they hit him multiple times.

I think for something to be deemed “just as plausible”, you would need to demonstrate that by in large police fire on subjects first when unprovoked at a greater rate than when provoked. I am not saying that police never act unprovoked, but I’d bet it is statistically higher that when there is a weapons discharge involving police, there was a provocation from someone first.
I really like this one, thank you!
You should be asking specifically for examples of companies that don't do anything computationally intensive, aren't CPU bound, and still dedicated teams to work on the overall performance of the _language_ itself they use. Not tuning the VM, not tracking down memory leaks, trying to fix the thing itself. Which is the case here.
> If I walked past litter on the ground in my home-town, I wouldn't say "Hey, not my job." and walk past it, I would pick it up for the betterment of my town.

This is this and that is that. Litter won't stab you, whereas I've had a friend get stabbed by a mentally ill person who asked for their restaurant leftovers, and were given them, only to then do just that. (Which is a bit different than what the OP is talking about, but you mentioned mental illness in society in general, so it seems fair to bring it up.)

> Given the US has more wealth per capita than most of the world as well, I think claiming we underfund our public library system is fairly obvious.

This is only the case if you think the proper level of funding is a function of population size or wealth instead of whatever is required to obtain sufficient results. If you're looking for results, it seems the proper level of funding would actually scale with population density (sparser areas require higher funding per capita to provide the same access).

I think you can make a case for that sort of model, but I don't think it's "fairly obvious".

I'll buy the bluray/dvd, then download the torrent for the movie to put into Plex. Like a backup, but MUCH better and easier on the size than I would be able to do myself.
Especially given the tighter electrical tolerances with running 3+ GHz signals across a PCB. I have dialed in an OC from 2x 16 GB Hynix A-die (sold as 6600 MT/s). Using buildzoid's settings I got 7000 MT/s stable, but 7200 MT/s runs into intermittent errors on y-cruncher VST. I don't think there's much headroom in voltages without degrading life. I haven't tried loosening timings, so that's a thread worth tugging on.

I have had a scenario where the machine failed to boot at 7200 until I reseated the memory, so there's definitely a limit on the physical media being hit.

I remember starting my career in GIS in 9th grade. We had a bunch of Landsat 5 (I think?) imagery and it was just the wildest, coolest thing ever. Especially when we began using the infrared bands to make vegetation pop out in false-colour composites.

Back then 30m resolution was pretty high. :)

Then Google Maps became a thing and it all slowly expanded into the public space. The rest is history.

Actually, there are a LOT of 'collector's edition' versions of physical games from publishers like Limited Run, Super Rare, and iam8bit. Check out this Cuphead package, for example:

Now, for many of us, they are prohibitively expensive, but they are available.

Personally used about an even split of ECC vs. non-ECC RAM over the last ~30 years and can't say I've ever encountered any problems with non-ECC RAM. If it happened it was no significance for me to notice. Professionally yeah I've run across a server here and there report bit errors but it was a four leaf clover the of thing. Not unheard of but not common. The more important thing in my experience is using high quality hardware with stable well tested drivers. That is the first practical precaution to consider. If you've got a box full of the cheapest parts you can find on Amazon you got bigger problems to consider before worrying about ECC.
> The resolution is very poor. Technically you might be able to make out 50cm things as a pixel, but it’s blurry and has a lot of artefacts

The CEO in this thread says they use Albedo for imagery.

I feel like Albedo is way overselling their capabilities because it’s not real 10cm imagery. It’s essentially computational photography taken at a way worse resolution (>30cm), and does a poor job computing a better image.

If you read about it in their blog post and actually zoom
in on their example simulated 10cm image, it looks quite bad. Way worse than just Google Earth.

https://albedo.com/post/albedo-simulated-imagery

Direct image link:

https://assets.website-files.com/5fd162c9a5bb9e401ce96317/62...

What’s also super confusing is SkyFi uses Google Earth to be the viewer you use to find the image you want to buy from them, so you’re essentially being shown a way higher resolution (Google) aerial photo than what your actually buying.

Back to Albedo, what’s also frustrating is they rarely include the word “simulated” when they talk about 10cm imagery (should ALWAYS be stated as “simulated 10cm”). Which leads people to believe their image products are higher resolution than they really are.
I’ve only used Octave extensively, so maybe this is a dumb question, but how well does Matlab run on the terminal? With Octave you just need to chmod and set the shebang.

As far as I read the comment, it is pushing back on the idea that people who work at these companies are all amazing, and does so by saying there exist under-performing people. You are at some other extreme, and so are trying to read the comment as saying "anyone who has worked for FAANG" is under-performing, which is so far off from what the comment you responded to is saying as to be a bit comical... maybe, defensive? ;P (edit: oh wow I just noticed your other flagged comments--which is why I hadn't seen them before replying here--and it is clear you are just being irrationally angry today.)

That they can surely use, right, right? Because all that crypto can be easily used for buying stuff, right? right?

In reality it looks like those donations were laundered through an offshore exchange. Someone will always find ways to profit from war.
I’d suggest that you are more likely to be shot by the police if you provoke them first than the other way around. Especially if other folks were also arrested in the same police operation without provoking the police and managed to avoid being shot and killed in the process.
Somewhat related to to-do apps, there was an application back in the classic Mac OS days that I remember (although I don't remember the name) which worked in a way I don't think I've seen since, but seems like a pretty reasonable approach to recurring to-do tasks.

Some repeating tasks have to happen on a fixed schedule, e.g. put the trash out every Tuesday night.

But many (most?) of my repeating tasks a) have quite a bit of wiggle room, and b) the scheduling of the next occurrence should be based on when I actually complete the previous occurrence.

So the way that application worked is you'd create tasks and say it could happen as early as this date, it would ideally happen on this date, and it must happen no later than this date. You'd also tell it the ideal time between occurrences. The "priority" of the task would automatically change as you move through that window of dates. When you mark the task as complete, the next earliest/ideal/latest dates would be based on the ideal time between occurrences.

Watering plants is a good example. Let's say I want to water my houseplants every 8 days. I could water them 7 days after I last watered them, but I could also be lazy and wait until 9 or 10 days. If I water on day 10, that doesn't mean I should water again in 6 days (which is what a strict 'repeat every 8 days' task manager would make me do); even though I'm "late" I still want to wait the ideal time until the next occurrence. [I'm just making this up, don't take houseplant care advice from me...although most of my plants live nice long lives.]

tl;dr: The ideal repeating task scheduling should allow for a window of time, not a specific day, in which a task should be completed, and the scheduling of the next window of time should be based on when I actually marked the previous one as complete.
It’s odd. I could argue it’s to keep eggs in stock, considering what happened with cream cheese and bsby formula recently. Small drop in supply, media scarcity coverage, many people buy 5x their normal and suddenly the prophecy has self-fulfilled. But, who knows.
The video calls must be new. When I first made a Google My Business profile, there was no verification. Not even address verification. And then I couldn't get the listing delisted from Google either (my friend made a prank listing).

At some point they added postcard by mail verification. Then they added having to upload documents (articles of organization, pictures of store). And then the last time my account got suspended I had to make a video showing the above as well as including the cross streets in the video.

It doesn't surprise me so many people are gaming this system because it's effectively a free pass to the top of local Google searches as well as getting into Maps searches.

(turn on showdead and read some flagged messages to see what I mean)
I would agree with you that it could be useful for organizational problems but I would resist this as long as possible. In any case, I prefer to not split engineering teams but for practical reasons (e.g. keeping onboarding times into the team reasonable) you are quite forced to do so.

Once your team loses the rapid feedback of "did this break user-facing functionality yes/no?" your reliability and speed of shipping features deteriorates rapidly as now most engineers will start to fear shipping to production.

Ideally, you break the team into subteams and follow the natural fault-lines in the codebase. Most codebases have areas that do not interact much (or not at all) with each other and they lend themselves well to assigning to a specific subteam.

I'm sure there's a point where this breaks also but I haven't reached it yet.

Some of my friends have trucks with pop up campers on them. Advantage is cheapish and you can put them on a 4WD truck. They are pretty good if you're going away for a weekend to some off road place.

As someone that camps otherwise stock van with a sofa bed every type of camping system has it's advantages, disadvantages, and costs. Show me any type of camping setup and I can tell you why it's non starter for a lot of people. And perfect for others. My take about electric RV's is essentially RV's are all built on a van, truck, or bus chassis. When those become available with enough range you'll see RV's built on them as a standard option.

> you would need to demonstrate that by in large police fire on subjects first when unprovoked at a greater rate than when provoked.

Not exactly: I'd only need to demonstrate that police do fire on citizens with some regularity, without regard for whether they also happen to fire on people shooting at them (which I'd expect them to!).

And indeed, they do[1].

Hmm can’t say I agree about the significantly more surface area. I switch between rust/C++/Swift fairly regularly for work, and I think they’re roughly similar in complexity with the exception of Rust having lifetime annotations and Swift having computer properties.

Where I do think Swift has a lot of noise though is @attributes. There’s just so many attributes to learn, especially if you happen to do SwiftUI or ObjC interop. Though rust has the same issue , it’s just there’s no ubiquitous UI lib like SwiftUI. I imagine it would have the same if it did.

Frankly, even if he did shoot second, which is unlikely, he almost certainly pulled a gun on the police, which would justify the shooting regardless.
So this is why when I called a locksmith last week, they took down my info and then 30 minutes later got a call from no less than 5 other locksmiths who were "on their way to my house". Nobody's phone number matched, nobody wanted to tell me who they worked for. Totally sketched out with Google Maps' suggestions, I switched to yelp. The first service I called on yelp was reasonably priced, was actually the person coming to my house, and totally hassle free. How is Yelp dealing with this when Google can't seem to?

And if effectiveness were the only criterion against which to judge an act, then maybe one would be justified in supporting violence and threats of violence against children.

In the comments on the main article, the author says:

>It’s perhaps worth pointing out here that VLU is nothing like Apple’s proposals for CSAM recognition. The neural hashes used to look up images in VLU are ‘low resolution’. They’re good for distinguishing specific images of paintings, breeds of dog and cat, and so on. But – as you can read in my detailed account of the proposed method – they fall far short of what would have been required to detect CSAM. Another big difference is that initial CSAM detection was intended to be performed locally, using a database of ‘positive’ neural hashes stored locally. Apple recognised that looking them up online wasn’t feasible, but that’s exactly what VLU does, because it works differently, with a much larger database and forming less robust and more inaccurate matches. So VLU ≠ CSAM detection, not by a long way.

I'm still not super sure it couldn't be misused, though. A tool that is good enough to be able to reliably detect things like dog breeds (as the author also points out) seems like it should reliably enough also do things like detect drug paraphernalia, pictures of tankman, banned religious symbols, or whatever thing that people were more worried about being oppressed by a potentially authoritarian government. That's also why it seems, to me, like the more worrying vector for an authoritarian government to force abuse wasn't the higher resolution neural hashes matched against known images but the ML labeling of images for searchability.
That particular example is above the typical price, I think, but they're certainly called collector's editions for a reason. It's a shame, but I suspect the majority are purchased and left unopened.
