The moment Firefox implemented one of the many hardware APIs aggressively pushed and promoted by Google, they immediately discovered it was used for fingerprinting: https://twitter.com/denschub/status/1582730985778556931

300+ people, in existence longer and with 300x the headcount of Andreas Kling's SerenityOS; I know the 2 OSes have different goals but you do wonder.

Another example: Plan9's headcount was never high, and look at what they shipped.

Metabolic ward studies have proven that the body will excrete excess protein via the kidneys. Theoretically a glycogenesis to lipogenesis pathway might conceivably exist, but under controlled conditions it observably doesn’t.

Something similar will happen with excess ethanol consumption. Your body will preferentially use ethanol for immediate energy needs, but there is no pathway to store it as fat. However any fat or carbohydrates in the diet will immediately undergo lipogenesis while the ethanol is metabolized.

The end result is that it’s physiologically impossible to gain body fat on a diet of lean protein and wine or spirits. However that’s a rather unhealthy diet otherwise so I wouldn’t recommend going all in on the piss out the protein plan.

It’s good to know though that if you’re taking an alcohol cheat day then stay away from beer and mixed drinks as well as fat and carbs all day and until the next morning. Instead eat something like lean chicken or fish with near zero calorie vegetables like lettuce or cucumbers or what have you.

Nvidia Founder's Ed. cards don't go well with sandwich style cases. The space behind the card heats as you use the pc and in turn causes the motherboard, cpu and other components to heat.

If you're looking for a sff case for Founders Ed cards, I would recommend "Sliger Console". It's almost made for this type of cooling.

While this isn’t going to make athletes change their exercise programs, it’s a great reminder that if you’re sedentary you can get significant health improvements by doing literally any exercise at all. Some times dramatic improvements.

Exercise doesn’t have to be complicated. Doing anything is significantly better than being sedentary.
Forgive me, I need a rant. My fury with Miele knows no bounds, and has consumed (parts of) the past two years of my life. We went all-in with Miele because of their marketing around long-lasting products, purchasing a dishwasher and a (hella expensive) multi-fuel (gas/electric) range and oven. The dishwasher is a generally solid product, however, after a few years of heavy use — we work from home and cook a ton — it's making gradually-loudening grinding noises. The range has been a garbage fire since day one, with a cascade of problems.

I'm sitting on $8k worth of rather new appliances that I am unable to repair in any fashion. When we bought them from a local appliance store — we live in a rural New England state — they were Miele-certified. Then they outsourced that certification to a local appliance-repair technician. Then Miele revoked the certification, or otherwise is no longer providing it, to that appliance-repair technician.

My appliances are broken. I call the place I bought it: they punt me to their repair technician. That repair technician is outright hostile and hates Miele and says they never call him back and he's not certified anymore. I call Miele. They punt me to "regional dispatch," which then ends up punting me behind the scenes back to the place I bought the appliances from, which doesn't ever call me back. I keep trying to push further, but all I get from Miele is that there are no certified technicians within X miles of me. This cycle has repeated 8 or 10 times.

The part I believe we need to fix the dishwasher is >$500 non-wholesale, so that is too expensive of a risk to take if it's not what will fix it. No non-certified appliance repair techs in the area (thin on the ground in general) will touch Miele products.

So I am literally waiting for them to stop working and then I guess I'll throw them away?

One of these days I'll generate the gumption to, I dunno, send a letter to Miele HQ or something?

So desperately screwed as a consumer here.
It's really because he sent so many chains of creepy, solicitous messages to 15-16 year old fans who flirted with him.

Another point that is missed, is that many of these tech companies are now still net positive when comparing new headcount added during pandemic VS the 2013 layoffs.

You can see the data here for MSFT, Google, Amazon, Meta and Spotify. Yes, other companies did not exhibit the same pattern, but the point remains.
We piss and shit out calories. Our temperature goes up and down. Bacterias in our guts eat calories, making us absorb more or less. There are multiple health issues that will make you loose or gain weight quickly with zero change in lifestyle or food. Oh, and we become tired, weak and passive which makes us spend less energy then if we are feel good.

Is this a general prompt on top of GPT or is this a fine tuned model? Since all these books are well known and popular it could be a GPT prompt... "I want you to act as if you're a book that knows it's own contents..." or it could be a fine-tuned model. The tuned model would be more interesting as you could feed it new data/books and material.
Ah that makes sense!

Very cool and great start!

I tried it and I wonder how I could generate more images. I made a story and only had one image.

I would also love to print it out as a book (don't see myself reading a book to a kid on a laptop / tablet) and that every page would have an image.
Would also be good if I could define which content should be represented as an image.

Keep up the great work!

I'm not sure if I'm stating the obvious here but if enough big tech companies combined flood the market with unemployed talent it could lower salaries as opposed to hiring everyone at any price to make them unavailable to the competitors. They have captured the market now, hoarding employees is no longer necessary.

Hmmm. Not if the firing notice was triggered by Dave from a suspicious executable in his email.

Although the idea of tightening up security practices by having some sociopathic employee tricking colleagues into publicly firing themselves by malware does make me feel a little ill.
Not only excrement, you also have to factor in sweat - your body can "choose" how much to burn into heat, and then use sweat to keep your body temperature normal if it is creating more heat than needed. This is normal, but I'm not sure if there is anything you can do to control it.

Phone battery is something like 4V. Watts depend on voltage. I guess home batteries use other voltage so their watt actually provides more electricity.
But what experiments did they do? Microsoft's Fuschia-like OS research project generated some interesting blog posts and research papers, it had a genuinely very different take on what an OS should look like. Fuschia seems like an ordinary microkernel written in C++.
I'm still troubled by the fact that I don't have implemented the preprocessor yet and the code is cluttered over hundereds of .txt files with diverse content (i.e. many modules are parceled to several .txt files).

Yes, past 5 years. That’s what the Apple documentation says, since it says it applies to any Mac that was T2 or newer. That doesn’t mean that it would have worked this way 5 years ago. Software improvements with macOS have definitely made the process simpler than it used to be.

"Erase All Content and Settings" did not exist in macOS Catalina. Back then, you had to manually reboot into recovery and reinstall the OS that way, which unfortunately did nothing for Activation Lock, and was a confusingly advanced procedure to expect end users to perform in the first place.

Now, someone just has to go into settings and click that button and macOS will handle everything. It's exactly like wiping an iPhone, including using the same button name. Apple has done what they can to make this as user friendly as it can be now.
There is, although I can't take credit for that one!

I didn't realize that Lastpass was part of the same company who brought us GoToMeeting.

> A 60kwh car battery might cost $10k, and allow 2000 charge cycles. So each kwh cycled into and out of the battery costs 8 cents.

If you can really treat the whole cost of the battery as X cents per charge cycle, disregarding the lifetime of the car/battery, this won't work at grid scale. Someone else will build a storage facility that just charges and discharges batteries, and they will outcompete rational EV owners, because they will have economies of scale and battery banks designed for this use. It only makes sense if the EV owner can somehow get charge capacity "for free" - eg the car will be EOL after 1000 charges but the battery lasts 2000 - he should sell the extra 1000. Or alternatively if getting 8c now is better than getting 1 charge in several years time (plausible if interest rates, energy futures prices etc are right).

However, this could be wrong. The same logic says rooftop solar can't exist without special subsidies, and a lot of people disagree with me there.

I’ve been diving in the past few years. You end up having to learn a lot of things. And need a lot of tools. Id compare it to woodworking. You can’t really “just start” woodworking one day without buying some tooling and supplies. I’ve amassed a big little workshop over the last few years.

I find the best way to get started is to have an idea of something you want to make, then just buy what is needed for that.

Pick a microcontroller first. Arduino is popular and well documented. Raspberry Pi is overkill in my opinion. I find I like the NodeMCU. The mini D1 specifically as it as an ESP8266 for Wi-Fi support. If you need Bluetooth or whatever look for the ones you need. And use the Arduino IDE to program and code it. From there, most motors need a motor drive and there’s a million of those and it’s typically a separate board (breakout board). You want to stock up on breadboarding supplies.

Openbuilds.com store is great if you have the need and budget for this type of items. You can get anything to build most any type of contraption and generally know it’s going to fit together if you plan correctly.

YouTube is your best resource. I like reading text when it comes to software but reading electrical diagrams is hard for me and it’s so much easier if I can watch someone else. They often tell you the little gotchas too.

Amazon is good for almost everything else. If you’re like me you’ll end up placing 50 orders in the first 2 months. The hardest part is no retail store, even hobby shops, stock these types of items.

I will say I don’t find kits particularly helpful. They can be fun, but at the end of it you’ve just followed the directions and didn’t really learn anything. It’s like putting an ikea dresser together, if you’re trying to learn how to build furniture it’s not very helpful.

You might be a proud and valuable person in your personal life. But for a company, you are just an asset - low yielding asset with high depreciation.

So it is rational decision for an enterprise to let you go and free some liquidity that could be deployed elsewhere. Even buying Treasury bill yields more then an employee and is more liquid option. Liquidity is important when times get tough and recession is coming..

Just face it.

And for an enterprise if competitors are letting go employees it means that they are building their war chest of liquid assets. So you have too because you have to be prepared when time comes for mergers, takeover and acquisitions....

As enterprises are accelerating the adoption of digital transformation, the attack surface is rapidly expanding into cloud and multi-cloud environments.

So, how can you increase visibility into cloud services and SaaS applications? Continue reading to gain insight on cloud security best practices.
That said, it is the case that even if classified documents are openly published, if they are still classified, it is forbidden to read them (at least for mil personnel, and I know as a 2nd tier supplier I've got lots of similar rules to follow about not accessing docs I don't have a demonstrable need-to-know) .

So, if you are in that environment, and there are such docs floating around, and you want a security clearance, best to avoid reading them, and document how you did so (ya, hard to prove a negative, but contemporaneous notes, such as an email to a friend, or reporting it to authorities might work?)

Things were harder in older versions of macOS, but you can read step 2 yourself: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201065

Any T2 Mac or newer requires only that button to be pressed, and then click through the wizard to complete the process. If someone is running outdated macOS, they won't have that button at all, since older versions of macOS required you to format computers the hard way using recovery mode, which didn't handle activation lock concerns.

You can also read this document: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208987

"Activation Lock is disabled when you use the Erase All Content and Settings feature."

which confirms the same thing. The experience that people have is very simple these days.

IANAL, but the way copyright works in the USA is based on what's known as the inverse ratio rule. Generally, two things are required to be established in order to be liable for copyright infringement: access and substantial similarity. But the more access you have, the less substantially similar you need to be to be liable.

Replit may well have been within their rights to sue this person for creating a product like theirs after he was an intern at their company... irrespective of how many other similar products were out there. His greater access may have lowered the threshold to the point where any similar competing product of his may have incurred liability.
A change from 5 workers supporting a pensioner to 2 workers seems like a big enough deal to warrant reform.

> They are still subject to the basic laws of physics. If you do a certain amount of work, but you take in less than what you have spent, the body has to use its stored energy to make up for the difference. How else would this work? The body cannot magically materialise energy out of nothing, and it cannot use more than what is available in the form of intake plus storage.

Your body temperature goes up and down, changing how much energy is spent by body. Your ability to perform goes up and down - you become sleepy and tired, your brain spends less energy and that is that (yes it has impact on your attention and performance). You cant stop it from happening. You may try to exercise the same and can easily become unable to.
