This is wrong. The blurred image contains only intensity information, but reversing the convolution in frequency space would require phase information as well. A simple Gaussian blur is not reversible, even in principle.

US seizes control of SVB in second bank failure in a week
The thing is that it's not certified because they don't want to certify it. That's really unusual. I'm pretty sure the reason for ANATEL to not certify the device is because they believe it has no legitimate use.
OK, you convinced me. I have decided I am now a sunrise local time absolutist.

We could move from measuring time with a 24 hour clock to one based on solar angle.

We could also measure geographic distance in relative change of solar angle, combining our time and distance systems.

Some think it overly complex, but the increased geometry proficiency would save many lives.
There are many plausible reasons for this:

1. Someone already has maxed out their motherboard and has some unused sticks of ram and would like to repurpose them instead of selling them or worse recycling them (remember reuse is before recycle). Reuse as battery powered storage might be an option. (This is the use case of the OP)

2. Someone wants a faux-Optane cache, maybe for the paging file/swap. Maybe to avoid wear on the SSD. Theoretically it should be possible to get higher performance than a SSD (same era RAM is faster than Optane which is faster than same era SSDs), in practice IDK. Maybe Optane is no longer available, or again maybe they already have the RAM

2. Someone wants a Volatile drive, maybe to be used in conjunction with a security oriented Linux distro like QubesOS or Tails. If a switch is tripped, everything on the computer is truly gone.

> most people can look at the light quality outside and know immediately what time of day it is

Most people really can't. Not only do most people simply not pay enough attention, but it varies dramatically by month the further you get from the equator. The light at 3 pm in August is totally different from 3 pm light in November.

> Give businesses and schools more ability to set and change their hours.

You're missing the fact that they effectively can't. Business hours are set around school hours, because employees have children. School hours are set around business hours, because of parents' jobs. Not to mention train schedules, airlines schedules, and everything. The only way we can change it is all at once, and the only way to ensure everyone follows is to change the clock itself. Not to mention changing every clock is so much easier than changing every single calendar event everywhere, because we already have systems for the former, but not for the latter.

Timekeeping is just a tool designed to benefit humans, it's not divine. We can use it as a tool to implement coordination changes that result in a net societal benefit around when we experience daylight. Why wouldn't we use it for that?

The fact that solar noon is then at 12:37 pm instead of 11:37 am for somebody somewhere is nearly irrelevant compared to that.

"if the owner of a single account has designated one or more beneficiaries who will receive the deposit when the account owner dies, the account would be insured as a revocable trust account." (page 4)

Doesn't this quote mean your method would only let a single person have 500k insured? Since any third account that names a second POD beneficiary would be considered a revocable trust and there is a limit of 250k for all of one person's revocable trusts (page 3)?

> Regulatory capture, it's called. Man, it does a lot of damage.

It's not regulatory capture. It's plain and simple deregulation. It's the end result of all the people arguing that "federal regulations only slow innovation. Deregulate so we can be more efficient and profit."

There were regulations in place, there were a group of people who like to get rid of regulation. They obliged. They weren't captured, it's practically their platform.

At somepoint people will realize two things. We all live in a society together and thus need regulations to govern actions and interactions.

These regulations are societal insurance. Yes you pay a little bit yearly that you could've used elsewhere for your profit, but they are necessary to avoid the contaigen when disaster strikes.

>Python is untyped and untestable.

Completely untrue. You're conflating static typing with strong typing. And pytest is a great test framework.

And you're recommending shell for better typing and testability? The language where everything is a string, there are no proper arrays, and functions don't have local variables? You have to be trolling.

You can get ECC DDR3 ram for less than $1 per GB, and it doesn't wear out like SSDs do. Makes a lot of sense for a cheap cache disk. I can totally see using a ram disc like that for a zfs/bcachefs cache with a modern CPU that doesn't accept DDR3. Might make more sense to use PCI than SATA though.

A niche market, but I think there would be a market for ram drives like that, especially if they supported ECC memory. Lots of old server memory kicking around but if you want to actually use it your stuck with some abysmal CPU performance and a very high CPU power draw.

I've never thought that I want to own a coffee shop, but I've sometimes thought about being a barista (i.e. "Barista FIRE"). I make my wife a latte every morning, and it can be fun and satisfying. I imagine being focused on perfecting a simple craft, and then being able to turn it off at the end of a shift. My work, in comparison, feels like I'm trying to solve impossible problems, and it never ends.

However, I suspect that the reality of being a barista is dealing with lots of demanding and angry customers, frustrating corporate management practices, and more cleaning than making coffee.

Rust may actually be a solution in this space. It is better typed and more testable than Python. It has fewer issues with environmental dependencies due. It is easy to install and build.

There is ongoing work to rewrite the coreutils in Rust, and if they were exposed with an ergonomic library interface, would provide a lot of the value of shell with much better safety.
It’s pretty easy. You can use brokered CDs, etc.

Finding good people is difficult. Like anything else, you need internal controls. Unaffiliated attorneys and accountants who have an interest in asking awkward questions.

I disagree. I think this isn’t a good text. Some examples:

- The text claims to be geared towards beginners, but doesn’t explain what a register is.

- “you are left with an Executable and Linkable Format file (Elf) which is the Linux equivalent of a .exe file” indicates the text is geared towards people who know about execution formats, possibly even Windows users who are.

- “.section .text is where our code will live”, for beginners, needs to explain what sections are and needs a remark that it’s weird that the section named “text” doesn’t contain text, but code. At a very minimum, it should say the reader will have to accept that that magic incantation is needed for now, and that more info will follow.

- the text doesn’t say why you need both ”global _start” and ”_start:”. It does introduce labels, but that’s many lines after using the first one.
At the moment I have two computers in my apartment. They are identical Microsoft Surface Pro 3 machines. I got one from ebay for $150 and the other from Amazon for (I don’t remember) less than $200. The SP3 runs linux very well, especially using the surface-pro kernel. My good experience may be partially due to the fact that I don’t use a “desktop”, but use the dwm window manager. It has a 216 dpi screen with good image characteristics. Everything (touch screen, bluetooth, cameras, etc.) works.

I like having two identical machines because I keep them cloned continuously using my wifi network. If one dies I can just switch to the other with no data loss or interruption. I haven’t had to do this yet; the hardware seems reliable.

I like this type of machine because it’s a tablet with the power of a modest laptop. I can pop in in a backpack for travel, take it to the couch to read on, or use it like a laptop with a bluetooth keyboard. Having the keyboard separate from the screen is better for ergonomics; I much prefer these to laptops.

I have one problem, and it’s pretty annoying: I can’t seem to use video conferencing sites without problems. Zoom, jitsi, they all overload the system and my microphone stops working after a short time. I kept a Windows partition on one of the SP3s and boot into it just for Zoom meetings. If anyone has any suggestions, I’m eager to solve this.
> I just got really lucky that one time

There's another, more meaningful difference: In the EU, all banks are subject to Basel III. In the US, only large, international ones are.

SVB wasn't.

> When the Fed implemented Basel III in October 2020, they took advantage of the fact that strictly speaking, the Basel Accords are only internationally agreed to apply to “large, internationally active” banks. While most jurisdictions apply the Basel rules to their entire banking system anyway, the US has a strong and powerful community bank lobby, and US community banks are usually quite aggressive in their use of the borrow-short/lend-long business model.

Personally I think it would be pretty badass to have a system where you could get your stuff signed by government. Rather than a digital identifier you have, what I kind of want is a website where I can go & get a trust-token stamped on something I put out, at whatever level of identity I choose:

"This post is authentically produced by Ged Sparrowhawk, born in Gont, living at Roke Island, a student" or

"This post is authentically produced by a student" or

"This post is authentically produced by someone living in Gont" or

"This post is authentically produced by someone born in Roke" or

"This post is authentically produced by Ged Sparrowhawk"

Giving the user the ability to have an authenticating government stamp their items with whatever level of identifiers they want seems like a far preferrable solution to me than creating a strong identity system. Users can pick whatever fits their desire: residing on the planet Earthsea, the island Roke, the town Thwil, or the place the School of Wizards, or the room whatever there-at. Nation/state/county/town/area/street/address, whatever. Government can let us say what we want about ourselves. This is a far more interesting & flexible proposition to me than creating an identity system.
I don't know how seriously to take that comment because of the username (which seems to fit, honestly). But in case you're serious, let me make a couple of points:

1. Europe is big. Dozens of countries with different legal systems. If we're only talking about the EU, we have the DGS, but there are still differences between national implementations.

2. There is a lot of money in Europe. I can't easily find data about the whole of Europe, but the EU alone has a GDP comparable to that of the USA. "Not that much money" is a ridiculous assessment.

First I'm paranoid, then I'm lazy and should just "get away". Now I should just ride the bus? With what money? And once I arrive in a town do I just magic my way into food, clothing and shelter?

You're not treating me as a rational person worthy of dignity and respect or arguing in good faith. I can't take what you're saying seriously.
Working as a cook and the art of cooking have very little connection for the first 5 or 10 years of your career and most 30 year olds, even, probably aren't willing to put in what it takes, physically, to work their way up in the food business. Even as a chef, you'll spend 95% of your time managing a highly complex production line that can crank out identical units on demand and if you're lucky, 5% on creativity. You'll rarely, if ever, want to cook for pleasure. It's kind of a meme among cooks how most of them end up eating hot pockets and microwaving frozen pizza on their days off.

There are some people who I usually encourage to become line cooks. People in their early twenties who are toughened up a bit by life, intelligent, passionate about food, don't have skills that will yield them a financially viable but less punishing career path, kind of lost, and seem capable of self-regulating around alcohol and other substances. That's a rare bird, especially in the HN crowd.

Having known many hundreds of service industry workers, I do know one person who got into restaurant cooking as a fully-matured adult and didn't dejectedly leave it within a year or two. Importantly, he graduated culinary school in his twenties, worked in other service industry jobs for a few decades after, and despite also being a professional musician, didn't drink or use hard drugs. It's hard to emphasize to most people how important that last part is. I briefly worked at a well-respected, fun, vibrant, relatively pricey restaurant with an open kitchen that did 100 covers per hour on Saturdays. They wanted the customers to think the cooks were having a ton of fun, so a six pack was part of our station prep and customers could buy beer for the line at a discounted price. I have no idea how that line afforded so much cocaine on such a small salary but that was some scarface shit. Uppers are borderline a safety requirement when you're drunk and always seconds away from permanent disfigurement. A guy I know who cooked there for like 5 years went in kind of dorky and is still a slurring-every-night drunk decades later. The first night I worked there I saw my boss passed out drunk sleeping on the floor of a nearby ATM. A few years before that, a good friend and consummate drinking buddy was looking for a big change so I connected him with a third shift job cooking at a 24 hour restaurant. The most consequential things he picked up from it was an intravenous drug habit and a new career as a drug dealer.

I love Kitchen Confidential but I do think he glamorized that grittiness to some extent. From the outside it seems a little exciting and everybody likes to think they're just dangerous enough to ride it or upstanding enough to stay above it, but that's pretty naive thinking. I just don't think most folks used to living in polite society can grasp the negative implications of that lifestyle. For many of those people, those coping mechanisms are all they've got, and sadly, these jobs will let people rely on them until they're dead.
Yes, the random genocides in the name of progress or capital gain are totally different. I'm sure that the starving irish, native americans, and asians who were caught in the opium wars died with grateful appreciation that there were no priests around to oversight their expeditious sending to the afterlife.
Probably not because SSD's pretty much hit the boundaries of the engineering envelope.

The maximum bandwidth of a SATA interface is 6Gb/sec.

For comparison, old PC-1600 DDR RAM has a data rate of 1.6GB/sec...or >10Gb/sec because 1Gb != 1GB.

Over SATA, static RAM is good enough to saturate the interface and is non-volatile and cheaper.

Good luck.
I mean if you're really crazy about money, then sure. But really, contracts within EU pay similar money, and you don't have to become a vampire. The biggest downside is that contracts aren't always extended.

How much faster can you make a thing by scaling it vertically on hardware? Not that much unless it’s embarrassingly parallel and you use ASICS or gpus. Ok so scale horizontal, but now you’re running a lot of machines and connections etc. it becomes very complicated, so you start introducing abstractions like k8s.

To hell with all of it. Scale DOWN, not up or across. Get rid of all the unnecessary bits. Get rid of most IO, memory management, operating systems, abstractions.

When people say, “that’s impractical, because …” I guarantee their solution to your concerns is involving more layers of shit.
