Actually it is, since measure theory and the Kolmogorov construction of probability is only one way to build an axiomatic theory of probability.
It just happens to be the one most of us learn first.

Its a bit like asking if the set of all sets that do not contain themselves is contained in itself. The question makes no sense in set theory, but it leads to important extensions.

Dude, that's great!
I've been working on some rust code for the rp2040 mcu as my entry into rust and embedded programming and I think it has killed my enthusiasm for both rust, and embedded. I want to work on an esp project but I feel so burned right now that I am just thinking of dropping rust all together.

I'm actually really happy to see Espressif progress on this, I just want to throw

AWS is only apart of Amazon for shareholder purposes. Even internally, word is that AWS bills all of Amazon's internal businesses similarly to how they bill external customers, so it's not like Amazon is getting super discounted/free hosting out of keeping them under the same unit.

It's pretty wild that your example of a good conglomerate is GE considering GE's a perfect of example of why conglomerates don't work. Gee I sure wish I could invest in that great GE Aerospace division, too bad if I do the jokers over at GE Capital are going to snort half of it and place the rest on black. GE was the notorious exception to conglomerates being terrible right up until it also turned into a massive shit show.

Nice bait. A professional embedded developer doing serious work would never in their right mind forgo C for embedded development. The fact that these people are working on porting Rust to increase safety over C is laudable and it's sad that you are either too naive or just don't care enough about your users to see why using a language that catches simple mistakes that allow for exploits and crashes is a good thing.

It seems both Instagram and Whatsapp have about ~2B monthly users. And sure, these numbers are juiced but none are losers.

For large numbers of vectors you will probably want sub-linear search time. HNSW for example. Does pg_vector support this?
I bet it won't make much difference whether you select 5v or 7v. But I'd rather under volt something than over volt. So I'd see if it works at 5v.

It's probably unlikely but an over voltage could result in some component going through its breakdown voltage level (although I think 7v rather than 6v makes this unlikely). And from Ohm's law (V=IR) current and voltage are proportional and so more volts and you'll get more current and that could burn something up.

Two months ago, evidently someone put my number on some online form somewhere. I now get multiple messages/calls a day, addressed to "Lora", offering to help her with everything from insurance, to counseling/therapy, to public assistance, to rental properties. In the last 2 weeks, the calls are all Spanish-speaking.

My # is on the do not call list. Guess how much that helps...

Different situation: 2 years ago, I needed to move across the country. My dad decided to help and so he put my phone # into a website to give you a quote for moving. I was instantly inundated by calls from multiple moving companies, all of which sounded "off", all from that one form. (BTW, several of these companies were out of Florida. Just do a quick online search for florida moving company scams.) As a final note, it was cheaper to rent a truck from Penske and hire a friend to drive it the 1,000 miles. And, in case you care, Penske was $1,000 less than U-Haul and had better guarantees... I strongly recommend them!
Apple willingly handed over all iCloud data on Chinese citizens upon request. They don't care about privacy at all. They won't abandon the U.K. They'll comply with every single legal directive, as they have pledged to do on multiple occasions.
There is a decent chance of it I think yes. Maybe not exactly a direct war, more like the current relationships between EU/US and Russia.

China's politics now has some similarities to that of Putin - they've entered a vicious circle of being self-convinced by their own propaganda. And propaganda says Taiwan should belong to China even if it means war.

I'm not an expect in China though, but wouldn't put any of my own money on China now.

I think you have to be careful not to stretch your learning budget too thin. Coincidentally, I recently started tinkering with embedded as well and decided against using Rust (not new to me) for it because I prefer the well trodden path when first getting started in something. There is plenty of opportunity to venture out later.
> Why does that mostly seem to be a problem in the US?

Because we loudly and openly tell everyone we are a very gullible people. It's all over the news, what with "stolen elections", etc.
Who decides what is unrelated or not?

Amazon's whole retail business started by selling paper books. Extending that to kindle and audio books doesn't seem so outrageously "unrelated". Its more of an ecosystem which has legitimate benefits to the consumer. And once you have audio books, music and video doesn't seem like a huge stretch.... etc etc.

Apple is the obvious example of this. Do you think every single service apple offers should be broken into a separate company? Apple pay, apple music, icloud all seem to be "unrelated" but the consumer legitimately benefits from these things being bundled into a cohesive ecosystem.

Breaking these things into individual companies which has to be profitable based on just their one product would lead to higher prices and worse user experience, IMO.

For non-consumer facing products, the case is clearer. AWS / GCP could be split out nicely. The ad networks of meta and google could be independent without hurting the consumer at all.
It's time for Android to spin off google too. Their new "Did you know google made a PHONE?" commercial feels like terrible marketing. They should market it something like: "Android, powered by Google", and take advantage of the view that google is at least seen as a modern bell labs (by normals at least), so people can get the feeling that smart people are working on android. Otherwise I don't think anyone really knows android and google are the same (present company excluded).
The computer is fine, judging by Firefox starting resonably fast with very many tabs to restore for her on that computer.

Also the same chrome profile starts very fast when she uses the "private browsing mode" which doesn't restore any tabs. So it really just seems like chrome having perf issues with tab restore with many tabs.

Care to share the specifics? Embedded programming in of itself is difficult and tedious, and unless you really love it, professionally makes you less money than much easier forms of SWE. But I'm curious to understand if you are mad at embedded or mad at Rust.
Windows have problem with drivers for a lot of hardware that's 10 years old or less. Lot of graphics cards don't work well in windows 10/11.
There are some oil reserves in the Baltic and there's a reason the EU is very interested in getting Ukraine on board (Black Sea oil), but frankly, it's more likely we'll just buy it from somewhere else once fossil fuels have been phased out.

Until now there's been over-investment in renewables, but too little in modernizing the power grids. The result has been windmills being stopped during production peaks, because there's nowhere to send the power.

I'd guess investing in grid upgrades, storage and cheap baseload capacity will be the main focus for the European energy the next 20 years.
Well, first of all, nothing is impossible. But, you are likely ok. However, the risk with the 5 volt is more likely that it just won't power up and function at all, whereas the risk with the 7 volt is more likely that it could blow something (damage the electronics).

There is also a current rating, but it seems likely that the monitor would not have a huge requirement for current. IANABME (I am not a baby monitor engineer).

So, if getting a 6 volt source is not an option, I would try the 5 volt first, and if it doesn't work then try the 7 volt, with the knowledge that there is a small chance it could break the monitor. But (in the USA anyway) anything made for 6 volts would normally be able to handle 7 volts. Normally.
Thanks, oops, fixed.

To give you a bit of an lay of the land before you jump into (or even start researching) consulting.

There's mainly 2 types of consulting: staff augmentation ("staff aug") and engagement-based.

In the first case you simply work for the company the same way FTE (full time employee) would but it's easier for them to lay you off, and they don't have to pay you benefits. You typically would be paid much higher rate than an FTE.

You can either work for yourself, e.g., have a small LLC/S-Corp, or work for a company which matches employers in need of consultants and consultants looking to sell their skills. That company would typically get the percentage of your rate from your customer (this is sometimes referred to as "bodyshop" model).

As others already pointed out, one way to get work as independent staff augmentation consultant is to have an inside knowledge of a particular company and have them pay you for that knowledge. Another way is to specialize in a very narrow technology (e.g., Cobol) and be well known within the industry, and you will have a steady stream of work coming your way (until that technology becomes obsolete or otherwise loses relevance).

For engagement-based consulting work you come into a company to perform a particular project with defined end goals and the budget. You first pitch the project to prospective clients and if you mutually agree on the end goals and the cost, the engagement starts. Engagement-based consultancies have 2 sides to their business: sales side and delivery side. People on the sales side will be working with potential clients, looking for opportunities, pitching projects, and tending to any issues on the projects that they sold if necessary. People on the delivery side will be... well, delivering the service, or running a project.

Once the project is over, you either have to find a new client, or find a way to extend your engagement with the same client by maintaining or expanding the product you built, expand into the new areas at the same client, etc etc.

Hope this helps.

Environmentally speaking, it's better, since it's biodegradable.

On the other hand, buying a gadget that dissolves when it gets just a bit wet might not be a smart thing...

But i can totally see them selling "biodegradable" flashing LED bracelets (or similar single-use crap), where the bracelet iself is biodegradable, and the rechargable battery (without an actual charging circuit) and plastic potted LEDs are not....
Prime Video isn't a monopoly, but Amazon clearly has Significant Market Power when it comes to retail. They're anti-competitively vertically bundling Prime Video along with retail delivery.

While people aren't eaten today (mostly), it doesn't mean they're not consumed. They're conscripted and forced to die in trenches. Many live menial laborious lives so the few can live in opulence.

In simpler times, at least we could identify our rules. The Indians could easily identify the white British as their exploiters. Today we have an amalgamation of international corporations, billionaires, royalty, and dictators (did I repeat myself?) exploiting us.
It might be fine with either 5 or 7 volts, but if you’re worried, search online for 12v to 6v DC converters. You could put two of the battery packs in parallel (one set to 5v, one set to 7v) to get 12v input. Then connect the 6v output of the converter to the baby monitor. There are probably other converter options that would work with just one 5 or 7 volt input but 12 to 6 is very common.

There is this fixation on “the dollar” or even “capitalism”, but in reality both of those are essentially just abstractions for the underlying human behaviors, which is mostly greed and the lying and deception used to obfuscate greed.

Neither the dollar as the object of transaction nor the system of accounting (accounting for resource allocation) called capitalism, have any real connection to the underlying drivers. The same problems existed in many other means of transacting (currency) and economic systems (communism notoriously being a sprint towards corruption).

Unfortunately, people have forgotten or have intentionally been misled from realizing the tacit type of self-regulating controls of a system like actual capitalism (you lose money when making bad decisions, you aren’t rewarded by thieving friends in government) and even aristocracy, where you had to maintain a certain balance of relationships even with the peasants in order to prevent being made a foot shorter.

Ironically, the rather tyrannical caste that has we emerged on Mt Davos is forgetting that sometimes the dumb and easily manipulated peasantry the technocrats see themselves as being benevolent demigod leaders of, don’t take so kindly to their shenanigans, with dire consequences for all.

I mean what are you, a bigot, racist, sexism homophobe for questioning the beneficent and glorious, exhaled rule of the Ruling Gods over your life and limitations on what you can do, say, and think? You better. Don’t get any ideas or your gods on Mt Davos will strike you down with ban hammers.
There's a funny passage in one of Al Franken's books about this. Franken was a comedian who ran for the U.S. Senate and was successfully elected. (He later escaped in celestial disgrace, but that's unrelated.) He talks about how he was trained to do this by his PR folks, thought it was stupid, tried it out in a few interviews to get them off his back, and then was amazed that it worked every time.
Maybe that changed over the years, I only remember professional recruiters. But even so, this still mostly amounts to noise as to me the majority of companies are just not interesting to work for at all. I usually target 3 to 5 (max) interesting companies / openings which I thoroughly research on beforehand myself. That approach has never failed me so far, keeps me interested and motivated to go through interviewing plus an upper hand during negotiations. YMMV of course, that's just the approach that has consistently worked for me.
The problem with trademarks and marketing slogans is "kiin thai" more or less translates to "come here to eat thai" more or less. I think the problem with most of the discussion about this "event" is most of the people with strong opinions seem to think "Kiin" is some dude's last name or a dish or a city name or something.

It would be like trying to trademark and lawyer up the phrase "Food Store" or the word "Burger" in the USA.

No, they're making the case for them being a monopoly. Unless Google is preventing others from purchasing compute or hard drives by buying up all of the supply, they are not performing any anti-competitive actions, which would not make them liable under any anti-trust statutes.

I don't think anyone's in doubt YT is a monopoly with how big and widely-used it is. It's just that they continue to survive because of how well they execute their plan of making a good service that gives users what they want (fast, instant access to videos that appeal to them) and pays out creators enough to where they can make a living, or even build a media company (LTT), off of the adsense and monetization opportunities YT enables.
That's why regulation is needed. Efficient corporations will (and must) do the most profitable and legal thing always. What would the economy look like if corporations behaved irrationally, by doing unprofitable things based on unpredictable/fickle human emotions? It might be a cynical way to look at it, but overall I don't think it's sustainable to place the responsibility of caring for society on corporations.

Saying that Google or their employees are evil for doing the thing they're supposed to do is pointless. If they don't do <evil thing>, a competitor will do <evil thing>. The only way to save the world from <evil thing> is to make it illegal (and preferably with criminal penalties, not just small fines), so that corporations can avoid doing it without worrying about the competitive risks.

(although Google and all of big tech are evil monopolists and they need to be broken up)

What's not to love about the story concerning Vanderbilt University "equity workers" using AI to craft a statement intended to soothe the minds of students in the wake of a mass shooting?

First, it shows that said "equity workers" are a bunch of oxymoronic slackers who can't be bothered to do any real work. Second, it demonstrates the lame hollowness of Woke rhetoric: mere duckspeak, to use the evocative Newspeak word coined by Mr. Orwell. If a human Wokester had written the statement, it wouldn't have been much different, right?

Third, the fact that such a statement was required at all reminds us that America's institutions of higher learning have been reduced to the status of daycare centers for achingly sensitive twentysomething snowflakes for whom life's realities are just too, too painful...
This is the bane of my existence. I work in a lab that uses as close to industry standard coding practices that we can do with our current skeleton crew numbers (unit tests, CI, version control, unit tests, code quality standards and norms). We lost half our senior student programmers in the last two years, replacing them with first years. You know what happened? Nothing. Our development continued as normal. I’m leaving in the next six months, and my contributions to our lab’s projects will continue to be maintained. I will receive no emails at 2 am if somebody finds a bug.

In the average academic lab, the GUI they just published had one maintainer, and it’s a grad student that’s been gone for a year already. Good luck getting an email about support, even though it doesn’t work out of the box and the code is unreadable.
