Yeah, I tend not to comment on stories about how hard it is to save money. My first professional job went belly up in the dot com crash, but even before that, I always made it a point to not just live within my means, but also not be too proud to scrounge. Whether that's thrift shopping, buying cars used, dumpster diving, or buying houses that are just shy of being condemned, the point was always to make sure I was building a cushion, just in case. It's hard to do, given how rampant consumerism is in America, but if you're able to blot out that narrative, these bumps in the road are much less likely to be catastrophic.

Nowadays you've got sites like Mr Money Mustache, which, while extreme, can at least present a kind of framework for being more mindful about spending and saving. I felt like I was just kind of making it up as I went along. You don't buy into someone else's idea of a lifestyle - make preparations for financial stability. Once that hits, everything else is gravy.

Was my first economic downturn a surprise? Sure, kinda. There was a lot going on that seemed really dumb, even to a relatively naive 19 year old. Had I also read about The Great Depression, the 70s gas shortage, and the 80s recession? Sure did. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Two follow up questions.

1. Isn’t Albedo fake “10cm”. Meaning aren’t they using 50cm imagery and apply computations to it to “simulate” 10cm.

The image on this blog post, when zoomed in is actually quite bad

2. Can you explain why you mean when you say “most have incentivizes to keep selling to govt”.

Are you implying they can’t work with you?

> If you’ve never missed a flight, you’ve spent too much time in airports

It all depends on how much one can afford to lose a flight and pay for a new one. Business economics are not the same than personal ones.
It could still be useful even if the performance isn't much better than a fan. If you retrofitted on of these into an M1/M2 MacBook Air for instance it'd be enough to keep the CPU from throttling under extended loads without sacrificing its original silent nature or making its bottom surface unsuitable for lap use, which is pretty cool.
Well with SAR you can get moisture content of soil which can help with crop yields. Right now third parties do this for ag work but our goal is to have integrated analytics cause really a farmer doesn't care about the imagery he or she cares about crop yields...that's what we are solving for.

I want this. I HATE ads. I hate that the revenue models require ads. I pay for VPN. I pay for email. I use twitter a lot.

Would pay $10/month easy.

As someone on the right, I also cannot trust, rely on, or build anything on any platform or network that is ad based. The crazys will come for anything I create, eventually. With tactics like 24/7 harassment to advertisers that just want the problem to go away.

It's terrorist in nature. Ad based revenue equates to censorship for some, due to the weak chokepoint/painpoint of advertisers.

Advertisers should care about revenue, regardless of the customer. Noone ever said "there's a donut ad on daily stormer. I'm not buying those donuts anymore"

It's the activists that lie, pretend to be pissed off customers, harass and threaten, and create the illusion of outrage.

Anyone saying twitter should die because of this doesn't understand the gamble of global dominance. Elon wants to own the "everything" app. Advertising dollars are not compatible with an everything app.
This is an interesting point, but is it uniformly true? The OFAC list also includes aircraft and boats, which presumably can't argue on their own behalf.

Thats an interesting claim, that the highway would trigger use of autopilot and not FSD. How do you know that? I think Tesla, who would know for a fact the status of FSD during this accident, might want to tweet that FSD wasn't on if it wasn't. But they haven't. Also, as a human, why would you hit the breaks in the fast lane with cars approaching? This does not happen very often, especially on the incredibly crowded Bay Bridge.

I actually was there at this accident and swerved just in time to miss the cars piling up (you can see my car in both videos of the accident just getting out). It was a truly scary thing.
One claim is completely different than the other one and the truth is important here.
The title of this post doesn't do the author any favours. It can be understood to be directed at the general reader, and I can assure you, that what is described is very much an expected benefit of unit tests.

But, it's also just a tool. That has to be used for the right reasons and the right circumstances.

One unexpected use for them is to implement the "right way" to do something as a unit test. Instead of having to remind them of what we agreed on, making a test is a great investment, and not the typical use case for tests.

A bank I used until about 2018 (no idea if they've fixed this yet - I left) had an exactly 6 character password, and when you used telephone banking it just needed the 6 digits that corresponded to that word. Those 6 numbers also worked online, so at best they were turning all passwords into numbers before hashing them, ensuring there are less than 900000 different possible passwords, which was trivially easy to brute force in 2015, nevermind today.
The majority of my time at Director/VP level is already accurately summarised by looking at all the material that's online from a technical aspect.

However, the non-technical aspects that (I believe) some people tend to ignore are:

- When you lead a team, you try to get out of their way and direct them in such a way to extract maximum impact that's sustainable (no burning out).
- When you're Director and above, you're tending to lead teams of teams, so a different skillset applies, you're also coaching your direct reports on point 1 above.
- When you're a Senior/Staff/Lead/Whatever (these titles are somewhat fluid across the industry), you tend to communicate up to your manager who also shares technical attributes, so you can discuss progress with certain details.
At Director or above, there's a greater chance that more of the people you communicate up higher up the chain of command have a different skillset than tech, so you have to talk a different level of abstraction.

As an example, your direct report might tell you that a project is X points, which is meaningful to you, but you gotta translate that when you're communicating upwards to a different abstraction, time. While you also want to make sure your organisation is empowered with good practices, risk management, disaster recovery and taking care of tech debt, those are part of the internal engineering concerns, and all of them don't necessarily need to be discussed in detail with your boss as long as you're not screwing things up.

In another sense, if you're working in a startup, then money as a resource is something that's important to think about, an engineering effort can often be communicated upwards in an approximate dollar sense, both in terms of cost and potential payback if successful.

Lastly, if the organisation is small enough, you might have to concern yourself with working with accountants or CFOs to document your R+D efforts for tax benefits depending on your jurisdiction.
I didn't provide a source for the same reason I wouldn't provide a source about the sky being blue. Putin has publicly lamented the loss of Ukraine, and it's not my job to Google simple things for you.

You have by far the more controversial claim, so the burden is on you to provide proof.

You haven't done that and have also regurgitated Kremlin nonsense, so I'm not going to waste more time here.

It's pretty niche (and hacky). My use case is debugging CI runners by connecting to them via a reverse shell [0]. I want to manually run CI commands, but my reverse shell drops me into a new process without any of the same environment variables available to it that are made available by the CI platform to the runner. So I wanted a command I could paste to quickly inherit those environment variables and run the CI scripts that depend on them.

Depends on how much the CPU can lower power consumption.

With Intel parts you can run them with no cooler, they'll just throttle to maintain 100 °C by default (exactly like in laptops). Not every motherboard allows this though, some will start beeping angrily when PROCHOT is asserted or reset.

With Ryzens it depends, the chiplet ones can't do it, because the IOD power consumption exceeds what the IHS can dissipate without a cooler, so no matter what the CPU power management does, it will always eventually shut off. If you're in OC mode, it will do so at 115 °C. The APUs can probably do it, they'll probably be faster than Intel because they're more efficient.

CPUs without an IHS just explode though.
I wouldn't be surprised if these large language models have an interior life that is more rich than many humans I've met who barely seem cognizant of their surroundings.

I'm mostly going to ignore the half of this comment where you downplay the fact that Tesla's Autopilot killed a man in large part because of design flaws that have actually worsened since then (they doubled down on camera only, they've kicked and dragged every step of the way on attention tracking https://www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/tesla-driver-moni... they're expanding the domain they claim their self-driving capabilities operate in with FSD to some of the most dangerous roads possible, with pedestrians and complex situations being infinitely more common than on highways)

As someone who works at an AV company and semi-regularly takes driverless rides, Mercedes is entirely miles and miles ahead of Tesla here because they're taking responsibility.

If you're not familiar with AVs it doesn't immediately jump out at you, but again, even for a lay person surely you realize that the fact that Mercedes is letting you do whatever you want as long as you stay awake and able to take over in 10 seconds is a quantum leap over anything Tesla has ever done.

And 10 seconds is not a normal AP panicky disengagement, they are giving you 10 whole seconds to context switch and take over. So it's not even enough that AP not disengage below 40 mph, it'd also need to never disengage urgently.

If Tesla tried to do that with AP, even limited to speeds of 40 mph, there would be absolute bedlam within a week. I've personally been rear ended by a Model 3 in slow moving traffic and while I was too angry about my car to let my inner AV geek ask exactly what configuration they had the vehicle in, but those are the kinds of mistakes Mercedes is essentially saying "we have solved"

And I mean the irony you want to talk about "confidence in a system" and here Mercedes is saying you can look down and stare at your phone and if this thing crashes we'll be liable... Elon loves to almost say things like this then ensure Tesla blames the dead person.

-

This essentially boils down to you saying "Well Tesla hasn't made this quantum leap, but they totally could..." if you really think so go to TMC and make a simple poll: "Has AP ever made you react below 40 mph"

Mercedes is handling moving over for emergency vehicles so you have that full 10 seconds to take back control, meanwhile AP still likes to panic disengage because of sunlight, or a bad update, or because the planets aren't aligned with your chakras on this particular day.
I philosophically disagree that something known to be used for a crime, or known to make crimes easier, ipso facto means that thing should be banned. I see a lot of benefits to society with privacy solutions like Tornado Cash. I also like paper cash, gold coins, and guns for that matter, all of which have been documented to be used in crimes and all of which are legal.

I believe the law requires presumption of innocence. We shall see what the judge says. I think your arguments are unconvincing and actually, when analyzed, see them as dangerous and given to statist authoritarian tendencies.

>I don't know why

Because no other car maker is mandated to report these numbers either. Tesla is not the only brand with adaptive cruise control or line assist.

(I think sharing the data would be the right thing to do though.)
I did this a couple of weeks ago. At first it refused, saying it was just a language model or something like that. I said "go north" and it just started up a game.

I also tried to get it to play a game of Rogue for me w/ the old ascii graphics, but it held firm in its refusal on that one.
Still wild to me we lost ECC RAM. It used to be standard in PCs.

Does Apple hardware come with ECC RAM? If anyone could make it make sense as a business, it's them.
> Don't blame the guy above you for fucking up when you're fucking up equally bad

I'm not blaming anyone, not the person above me nor myself. I'm just explaining how it can happen. I don't do much drugs anymore, and back when I did, there wasn't really any way of getting testing kits nor finding "established protocols" unless you knew actual people in the real world. The internet wasn't even a thing first time I tripped. Good luck finding "information hubs" or good scales as a private person back in those days.

There is a lot of assumption and "holier-than-thou" coming from your comment, but you have no idea about the context from what I'm writing. You'd be better off trying to want to understand, instead of preaching.
Literally none of these things are true.
ECC RAM would actually be a boon to everyone, including gamers.

ECC means not only that you know precisely when you've gone too far with overclocking, but potentially allows overclocking a bit further, relying on that some amount of trouble can now be tolerated.

It also means you're not going to break your OS by playing with this stuff. Memory corruption carries a huge risk of disk corruption, which can mean things like corrupt data, random crashes or an unbootable system that persists even after reverting everything to defaults.
It's very strange that DDR5 mandates internal ECC within each physical package, but not on the longer and possibly more EMI sensitive connections between the memory chips and controller.

I would have thought that the additional cost would be minimal (additional wiring on the logic board in some cases), but maybe this is just more artificial market segmentation?
One reason we have lots of people in numerate disciplines using Python is that we taught them Python. Python is very teachable. Given a class of average 19 year old students from a numerate discipline, my colleagues will teach most of them Python to a reasonable standard in a single module (so e.g 2 hours of teaching per week over 16 weeks).

The same would not be true if we were supposed to teach them C++ for example. It's a huge, sprawling language, full of difficult concepts that are unfriendly to teach, and equally filled with foot guns that if you don't teach them will definitely maim your students, but if you do teach them take up yet more precious time on minutiae.

Safe Rust wouldn't be as hard to teach as C++ but it's no picnic. So even if the Chemists decided that ideally they'd like their undergraduates to learn Rust instead of Python, I think the argument would be that it can't be done on the existing timeline.
Private trackers solve all of those problems.
That's whether or not the parents agree.
Interesting. Do you have any more info I could read regarding that.
Maybe today. What does it matter when apple can change their policy anytime the feel like it? Maybe they can dynamically turn things on and off.
Swift payments network to cut access to crypto exchanges

I think the process is poor at accommodating generalists, since most people are not generalists. You might want to design a new feature one day, talk to customers the next, and then refactor your CI system on the third. The org really has no way to accommodate that; the cost to bring you up to speed on all the details is too high and your request is too weird. There is already a product team, support team, and testing team. Nobody has ever wanted to do all those things; all they want to do is show up, work on some technical mumbo jumbo, and disappear at 5pm. Moving the business forward what that at the bottom is what the process focuses on. (And, yes, this is why startups exist and do so well. If you can figure out Capital One or Twitter and pick the 10% that actually matters, you're back to a 2 person team. It ain't easy, though.)

As for top-down, organizations try that approach because it seems like the problems could all be solved if people weren't coordinating with each other, but just did what they were told. It seems like it doesn't work like that; this presentation explains it pretty well (and was on HN last weekend): https://komoroske.com/slime-mold/

Excerpt from [1]:

> There are few federal laws addressing automated driving. So, Mercedes Vice President of Automated Driving George Massing tells R&T, “we will probably have to deal with each individual state.” But the company plans to accept legal liability for what the car does while Drive Pilot is engaged.

Uh.. is there any actual documentation about them taking liability? Some headlines are fine but not a webpage for submitting a claim or a legal document you can show to a court for why you'd like to introduce Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC as a party to a liability case.
That is a very good analogy.
> Collapse OS is neat, but what would be a real use case?

It's all explained in the FAQ / motivation document:

http://collapseos.org/why.html

> Q: Is computing worth saving?

> Some people doubt that computers will stay relevant after a civilizational collapse. I mostly agree. The drastic simplification of our society will mean that we have a lot less information to manage. We'll be a lot more busy with more pressing activities than processing data.

> However, the goal of Collapse OS is not to save computing, but electronics. Managing electricity will stay immensely useful.

> Q: Aren't there more important things to do than an operating system?

> Yes! Yes! Yes! A metric ton of projects are more important than Collapse OS with regards to civilizational collapse. This doesn't make Collapse OS useless.

> [...]

> However, when you look at it from a communal perspective, Collapse OS starts to make sense. Once a particular community already took care of its immediate survival and is looking at going from "surviving" to "thriving", if it has Collapse OS and someone who can make sense of it, then that community will have a great asset.
Or they're focusing on performance to get the tools to the place where they're good enough to start being adopted. Once getting sued is more of a problem than not having a product at all, it's not hard to switch gears. I imagine there are a number of ways to avoid storing "too close" copies in a model that have various tradeoffs, I'm sure they'll be adopted quickly in the face of litigation.
That's so that range(10) has 10 items in it.
The phrase 'there is no evidence' can be interpreted in two ways, one being that it is highly likely but unproven, and the other being that it has been disproven and should not be believed.

I'm afraid we are still in the first version territory given what we know about big tech and Apple's recent behaviour.
