Yeah, i guess i wish that i could just join a single marathon (and stop keep starting new ones). I do unplug at the end of the day; that lesson i learned over the many years. But while I'm at my day job, i really want to give it my 100%...But, it seems so many firms can't get out of their own way to let the passionate (and highly competent) people contribute in meaningful ways. Its silly really, since these same firms have everything to gain - from revenue perspective, talent retention, yes good PR too, etc...Oh well. Towards new (smaller) marathons i'll head i guess. :-)
Curious: How many cards did you create? And how often do you test yourself? You really need to do it daily with few gaps for it to be very effective.

I would recommend not giving up but instead altering your approach. I tried spaced repetition multiple times in grad school and completely failed at it. I then tried again over 10 years later (and much older!) and it was really like attaining a super power. The success is even more remarkable because compared to my university days, I am much less actively using the material in the cards.

In my case, the difference between the two attempts was sticking to the daily schedule[1] and getting better at creating relevant cards.

And keep in mind: SR aids in recall, not in understanding. There have been times where I look at the cards on a certain topic and do very poorly (consistently). I then realize it's partly because some key understanding has been lost. I then need to do a proper study session (get the book out, read for understanding, perhaps do some problems). After that study session, I get good on the cards and stay good for a long time. In the last 4 years, I've needed to do this perhaps twice.

[1] Yes, I do stop from time to time, but those are the exceptions, not the rule.

It looks like the job market is changing and employers who don't offer hybrid work options are missing out on a huge pool of talented candidates. This article points to a few reasons why employers should consider hybrid work, including better recruitment and retention of employees. It's an interesting read and worth considering if you're an employer looking to stay competitive in today's job market.
To elaborate, toner doesn't dry out.

I've had a few cheap Brother laser printers. They've both been good enough and cheap enough to operate, but neither did graphics well.
I'd also add that I bet for at least Apple and probably other manufacturers when you buy a new laptop charger you probably buy it from the manufacturer. I know at least I wouldn't think twice about buying a new charger from Apple.
We have a Brother printer, but recently AirPrint has stopped working (despite working fine for years). I have not been able to figure out why and have come to the conclusion that it must be a hardware issue. Has anyone had any experience with this? I haven't tried opening it up to see if maybe there is something I can replace to get it working again.

Hi, I'm Luke. I'm a full-stack webdev & generalist with 15 years experience, and a deep passion for empowering humans through marrying tech fundamentals with UI/UX. Primarily looking for smaller / earlier-stage startups ("zero to one") with opportunities for high impact and rapid iteration. I'm an advocate for customer-first mindset, accessibility, type safety, pure functions, immutable data, unit testing, Minimum Viable Process, and tight coupling between Design and Engineering. I've taken leadership roles when the need has arisen, but I never want to stop writing code. :) Also deeply interested in AI/ML/LLMs, and considering a pivot into that space.
Love the idea, but I don't love mongo.
I can’t speak for homebrew, but cargo/crate.io is fundamentally different from debian. The rate of churn is significantly higher, packages are published constantly and people expect them to be available. You can’t really do that with a system of mirrors like debian does. You can do edge caching and crates does that, but you want some central authority of which package versions are available. And every cargo run queries that index.

It’s acceptable for debian mirrors lag a few minutes or hours behind. The same thing is much harder to accept when the rate of change is much higher. Different requirements, different tradeoffs.
Some schools being above grade level has nothing to do with teaching methodology, and everything to do with student composition. Smart people who raise their kids to do well in school move to neighborhoods with better schools, which raises the grade levels.

Ex: I went to Bronx Science, a specialized high school in NYC where 98% of the students are above grade level and go to college. The principal at the time was known to be an obvious subject of nepotism and generally made poor decisions often. The guidance department was a joke. Teachers were above average because schools full of smart kids attract smart teachers, but not so amazing that they'd make up for kids who started below grade level if there were any.

My wife actually went to the same high school and got depression, she dropped out of BX Science and went to a much lesser rated school. The teachers there were actually better in many ways (more organized, better processes, really useful classes work skills and stuff were available due to grants) but the students were still generally below grade level and less than 1/3 went to college according to the stats. She was effortlessly at the top of her class even though she was severely depressed and missed days all the time.
Yes, I was on the fence about mentioning that 8266 isn't great for new work since it is going away (however slowly). Additionally, moving to Espressif's newer SoC adds security features that 8266 doesn't have. In my mind the route forward is ESP32-C3 for low power and ESP-C6 for speed/capacity, since both are on RISC-V ISA as opposed to ESP32[-S[2,3]]'s LX7.

[Edit] Also, I hadn't looked at the WeMos ESP32 mini, but the examples I saw aren't pinout compatible (prolly b/c the 32 has a lot more) and don't have the handy 5v boost converted pin. That means that the above WS2812 project would need to add a 3-5v boost converter. Not a biggie, but 50% more parts...
In California, ESL students are primarily from Mexico. The sum of all other immigrants combined is not even close to this number. 40% of the CA population is Hispanic and Latino. I think that is what the parent was speaking about.
> Polestar is a good example of combining startup-like mindset with production know-how

That describes every startup that wasn't founded by an 18yo college dropout.
Google definitely collects more data, but TikTok’s data goes directly to China Government. Does same happen with Google? Maybe. However, in case of both of them doing that, from my perspective unfriendly/enemy country collecting that data is worse .
US Life expectancy fell in 10 of the last 12 years. That doesn’t seem like cherry picking to me.
> It felt like Godot 4 was going to be stuck in development hell forever, meanwhile people trying to actually build a game would be stuck on the increasingly obsolete and divergent 3.5 (unless you were willing/able to maintain an incomplete engine during development). So that was essentially 4 years of nothing to most people (tbf 3.5 did continue to get bug fixes during that time).

???

What are you talking about, the 3.x branch was being worked on and had new releases during most of that time.

3.5 itself only came out in August 2022, so between that and 4.0 was a massive...six months or so? Why is waiting six months a problem?
Brother DCP-8155DN multifunction, 10 and change years old,

- Pages printed: 18151

- Total Paper Jams: 5

- Toner replacements: 3

Working like a charm EXCEPT that on the last toner replacement I must have spilled some toner and haven't finished fixing it, so I have a few speckles on the first page that prints. But happy other than that and has been going strong for years.

Five paper jams in 10 years is simply amazing to me (and it's accurate).
Looks awesome, congrats to the devs.

Sidenote as a nuclear engineer: thanks for messing up all my scouring "news" alerts with that name choice.
After Half a Century, ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ Still Reverberates
I don't think this is going to change. I have kids in school in California. Most of the parents in my middle class neighborhood also went through public schools, and they have completely wrong ideas about how to improve academic performance. The only parents I agree with are parents from China, Singapore, Taiwan, India etc. But most of them are moving out of public schools and into private schools. So I'm mostly stuck with parents who themselves can't do math properly, so they complain about things like Common Core without understanding what the purpose is.
Older HP LaserJet printers are wonderful. HP 4, 4000, 4050, etc, machines, fed with new fusers and rollers periodically, will be printing long after all of us are dead. Since they speak PCL and have good network connectivity options they’ll work with virtually any software from the last 30 years.
The last Linux box I used that had a discrete gpu had a Matrox G400 (released 1999). Every one since then has been Intel onboard.
70 years of trend vs 2 years below the trend. Hmmmm....

I suppose the downturns in 1967-69, 1992-1995, or, historically, the Spanish Flu period were also indicative of a massive break with the historical trend?

It's clear that COVID and overdoses are the overwhelming contributors[1].

If the doomsday scenario is one AI going rogue because of misaligned goals, then having lots of AIs going rogue in various different ways seems indeed preferable, because the AIs will compete with each other and neutralize each other to some extent.

Hi, my name is Elijah and I am a full-stack web developer. My wheelhouse is MERN but also love python and AWS cloud ops. I am technically interested in applied NLP, emotional computing, wearables, and applications of geographic data. I am passionate about improving healthcare, and mental healthcare. Currently the CTO of a small startup called Compass (https://checkcompass.ca/) but looking for a new full-time role.
My top tip is to only ever play in silence, with nobody and no distractions around, sitting or standing upright. These three things have added 200 points to my rating.

I also find that noticing from intuition (a strange move by your opponent might be a trigger, or a tight position where you want to play strategically might be another) when to spend more time on a move sequence helps a lot.

Taking a mental note that you spent a bunch of time on one move and need to play more quickly is another improvement. But this is also an art that comes with experience.
> We tried fighting this but the inertia of “do nothing and pass anyway” was too great.

It's because there's no story for what to do in this case. All schools, even good ones, only focus on the happy path. I mean you're basically describing the problem perfectly when you moved your kid to a private school. They're not getting a more personalized education, the expectations are just higher. School is still a train that keeps moving whether you're at the level or not.
Copy and pasting from elsewhere in the thread:

> HP has one that looks similar [1] – could that be as good?

If it has HP anywhere on it, the answer is no.
A blackboard and chalk do not need heavy funding.

The classes I learned the most at in university consisted of a professor, a blackboard, and chalk.
The hero we didn’t know we needed.
Yeah, I'd consider carving something out of stone to be the minimum, "building" one out of cast concrete or whatever seems a different project.

I wouldn't consider the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid to be the "same thing" as the Pyramids at Giza, for the same reasons.
That is a great title. For many people, chess is not interesting, now that computers are so good at it. But for me, chess is even more interesting now that we have developed (narrow) AI programs that instantiate more and more parts of what humans do when playing. (I know, humans don't play like computers, but we do things like heuristic board evaluation and heuristic game tree pruning.) So in a game, the player is not only trying to find moves, but is trying to prioritise which trees to explore, based on heuristics and some sense of value of information, and on the relative state of the clock (do you want to go for complications? it depends how much time your opponent has left); is aiming for an overall "style" of game that suits them but not the opponent; and even managing risk (despite the game being deterministic), in the sense that different incomplete game trees might have different (heuristically-estimated) variances of outcomes.
PlanetPC XR ARM Linux Mini Desktop
From the makers of the Gemini PDA and Astro Slide phone.

I love the company's products (I have the slide and gemini) but they have learned some hard lessons when it comes to manufacturing and crowd funding (as you can see from the comments). I still have hope they will make a dent in bringing Linux devices more into the mainstream.
More "too old" drivers? Self driving cars? Fewer pedestrians using public transportation? And do bicycles count as pedestrians in this report?
To the dead comment asking about "mono" builds, they have a .NET runtime so you can use C#
Brother? No, they do not. Recently Airprint stopped working on our Brother printer. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it, including updating drivers, except... they no longer have mac drivers for our printer.

Hey I'm Raaid. I'm a software engineer who is particularly experienced with data engineering + the backend but full-stack capable. I'm interested in making something that works, works well, is well documented, and helps the world. I'm not interested in pointlessly moving fast to try to make a quick buck. Super interested in anything that aims to address climate or socioeconomic issues.
But we do know of humans who have something like “locked in” syndrome, where they are full conscious but cannot use their body.

And I am not sure sentience is binary . It may be a spectrum, and if that is the case, I again am not sure why people are so confidently dismissive of the question when applied to LLMs .

Maybe not the current version, but future stuff especially.
I have no idea why people persist in buying inkjets. Years ago I bought a cheap ($90) black & white Brother laser printer, and now I just don't worry about it. Even the starter toner lasted us for at least a year. We don't print every day, or even every week necessarily, but it always works just fine. I don't think toner ever really goes bad like ink does.

I had to argue with my mom for a couple years to convince her to ditch the inkjet. I was tired of having to help her fix it. She kept insisting she needed it to print photos. I finally convinced her that Walgreens will always print higher quality photos than her inkjet, and a cheapo laser printer will easily handle her other occasional printing requirements.
Solid response.
Beats sleeping in the park.
You're fine until 40. Then you have to earn your existence. You'll slowly begin lifting, stretching, vegetarian eating, cutting out other foods like sugar and saturated fat, getting the proper supplements such as D, B12. Also bringing in lots of fiber, mixing sitting and standing, various forms of stress relief like breathing, meditation, etc.

Smart things to get started on now include: skin care, at least SPF and moisturizing, posture - watch out for gluteal amnesia and "cell phone neck," hand/wrist/finger stretching and strain care, eating low-sugar, learning to cook, finding sports/physical activity you can enjoy long-term, taking care of your eyes, follow the 20/20/20 rule, scalp massage to reduce baldness if applicable. Also paperwork: start an organized system that's mirrored and on offline, and get a basic will set up.
I think the solution to this problem is rather obvious.

(Let other teachers grade the students)
Am I holding it wrong? Watching TikTok videos via links people have sent me, or that have come up via Google search (just add TikTok to your search), in an incognito window of Chrome, seems to work just fine.
Venus's atmosphere is 96.5% carbon dioxide, orders of magnitude more than the 0.04% found on Earth.

Most of Earth's original CO2 is tied up in the kilometers of carbonate rocks that cover a substantial portion of the Earth's surface. That's not going anywhere.
Yes, I know. But if you look inside a computer, you’ll quickly realize there’s a lot more than an Intel CPU and Chipset making the computer work. Everything from networking NICs to audio. Not much of a computer when you don’t have the Taiwanese chips for Ethernet. Or when you find out your BIOS was stored in a ROM chip that’s unobtainable.
I got this exact same answer but for "what is chatGPT"
Is practice testing equivalent to a multiple choice quiz on the subject?
Interesting. I had the opposite experience after placing an early pre-order for the F-150 Lightning. The expected delivery date kept slipping back, the price kept increasing, and the salesman I was forced to interact with had no idea what was going on. They did refund quickly after I cancelled, though.
The "high end" testers that do actual transmissions are worth the investment, if you do much wire-related work. And yes, so much of the "in building" wiring was done by electricians who only had experience with telephone cabling, and it can be notoriously sloppy.

> another dark age like from Godot 3 to 4 would be a deal breaker.

Sorry, but there was no "dark age". The 3.x line was being continually updated during the work on 4.0. the last major 3.x release came out only six months or so ago, in August 2022 (3.5).
FedEx/Kinkos does that, for pickup or delivery. I think it used to be cheaper, though.
And as long as they inherit a good set of genes.
I don’t totally agree with this. For sure classic AAA games with motion controls bolted on can be fun, but it doesn’t take full advantage of the platform. VR really benefits from physical engagement, get the player up and moving, sweating and having the world respond physically and realistically to their actions. This helps take attention away from weak graphics, heavy headsets and blurry lenses.
Malcom Gladwell covers this in Outliers. There is something that can be done, but it has to be done starting in pre-school and continuing through second grade. And that "something" is that you don't get a summer. You learn year round for those first few years. The reason why some kids excel and some don't is almost entirely because they don't get continuing education at home. And past 2nd grade, it's almost irreparable.

We can fix it. But we have to retool primary education significantly. And "retooling education" isn't something that is ever going to happen in the current setup.
The best security tools and practices won't protect the business if they're not used consistently. Policy is how things get done. It's an expression of the business' values and priorities. Even if it's just "all employees must install the authenticator app or request a Yubikey otherwise the cyberinsurance will drop us."
