It's correctly used in this context, where it's not referring to a particular well known algorithm in the context of computer science, but rather the " process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations" that the computer takes to determine eligibility. Considering the context and the intended audience, it's used correctly here.
The timing is determined by the sample clock of the DAC. The network switch has zero influence on it. If the system has multiple DACs and/or ADCs, their clocks can usually be synchronized via BNC cables.

Probably because he's not a callous bastard.

Don't worry, I'm not saying you're one, either. I suspect you just don't have his responsibilities. Like, hundreds of people who somehow hold you up in great esteem because of the stuff you create. That's a heavy burden and most people who aren't assholes will take it seriously.

Guy just shot up in my esteem five hundred levels.

(yeah yeah, I know M:tG doesn't have levels... :P)
Well, I haven't looked into this one deeply yet, so I'm not sure what the differences are exactly. But there are many existing, broadly similar, projects. I see this as a solution to "I want to make an interactive website, and I don't want to touch the JS ecosystem at all and/or I really prefer python-specific libraries". This is my position exactly, so I sort of keep track of what's available. From that perspective, this is in the same space as: web2py, pyjs, streamlit, brython, pyodide, pywebio, gleam. I'm sure there are others.
What do they mean by instruction? Is it just regular LLM?
I'm a potential customer for DTC/DIY installation, but I think that's a pretty small slice of the market. Many of my friends are entirely willing to drop $4-5K for a single zone mini-split install (that's $1-1.5K of equipment and 2 hours of labor) and wouldn't dream of drilling a hole in the side of their house to save $3K.
Sounds nice, what other improvements might we expect?
They were not the cause - that was the heedless use of stimulus funds and the supply chain problems leading to (the former) an increase in demand and (the latter) a reduced supply - but now that inflation has reared its head it needs to be tamed. As it stands now it is better to purchase 'today' instead of 'tomorrow' since prices rise while there is no benefit in keeping funds in interest-bearing accounts given the low interest rates. As long as this remains true demand will stay high leading to higher prices. This can really spiral out of control as has been shown in e.g. Weimar Germany or more recently Argentina and Venezuela although the cause of the rise in inflation there is different from the subject discussed here.
Sure but the question to ask is whether our financial systems have gotten better or worse since the time of tulip panics, railroad stocks, etc. I would argue that they have gotten better but there's always possible improvements.
Funny how seriously these folks take themselves and what they do.

> The script in question is actually a 63-page-long transcript of dialogue from the movie, not the movie’s actual script.

It's not that the dialogues are anything to write home about anyway plus, has there been any damage from this? Who would read the script and say, oh cool, now I don't have to go to the movie theatre anymore. Just get it removed from the platform an move on. What a waste of time and energy.
I didn't know you could just connect two thunderbolt hosts and get a network interface. Amazing!

I don't think it's an extreme position at all, since other solutions are easy to find and get (and they're almost always better).

But I'm in no way saying that everyone should do as I do, I'm just saying that these online services are entirely optional. If anyone is nervous about them, the easy thing to do is to not use them.

> To put it more plainly, for the past 10 years venture capitalists have had near-perfect laboratory conditions to create a lot of money and make the world a much better place. And yet, some of their proudest accomplishments that have attracted some of the most eye-watering sums have been: 1) chasing the dream of zeroing out labor costs while monopolizing a sector to charge the highest price possible (A.I. and the gig economy); 2) creating infrastructure for speculating on digital assets that will be used to commodify more and more of our daily lives (cryptocurrency and the metaverse); and 3) militarizing public space, or helping bolster police and military operations.
On the other hand, LLM's without some degree of safety work will frequently advocate for genocide/eugenics; perpetuate terrible stereotypes; mock ethnic dialects of language; veer randomly into erotica; etc. Not things in "trigger warning" territory but stuff that is broadly considered unacceptable.

When you think you're clarifying yourself, you're actually getting less coherent. I can't even parse what you're saying in your deeper replies (and I design mixed-signal audio systems for a living).

You're doing the same kind of "affect wisdom by alluding to the elephant without mentioning the elephant" hand-waving that conspiracy theorists do, but as yet you haven't shown a meaningfully concrete example (other than your misapprehension that the same sort of implementation-specific inconsistencies that are found in floating point calculations exist in the fixed-point math used in most audio systems).

The incredible part about a company like yours is the ability to do hardware at scale. There's no reality in which I'm safely and cost-effectively building my own Electric Heat Pump, or television, or [cool product here].

Companies that make it easier for me to do my own things stand out.

If you don't want that for the standard customer, fine. Provide some way to open up the device and trigger dev mode, or manually upload firmware, or OTA update firmware.

Side notes:

- a failed kickstarter I joined shipped out their original product with bad firmware and no way to do a physical firmware update without destroying the product, so they tanked instantly despite having a great hardware setup. Despite their failure, I and a few others opened up our products and manually flashed custom firmware onto it to make use of the product we bought

- I exclusively buy LG Televisions now due to their usage of Web OS (has a local-first [HA Integration](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/webostv/)) which used to be hackable with https://rootmy.tv. With that, my TV runs custom Linux software that controls lights just like [Phillips Hue Sync](https://www.philips-hue.com/en-us/explore-hue/propositions/e...) but free/open-source and no additional hardware. Compare that to Samsung which is like 40% ads now?

- I don't mind using a voice assistant, steal my ideas Tim Apple. I hate the part where the request goes (phone -> router -> cloud server -> router -> local server -> light bulb) instead of (phone -> router -> local server -> light bulb) or worse (phone -> router -> local server -> router -> cloud server -> router -> local server -> light bulb).

The end result of this is something like Microsoft Teams where they are in the process of swapping out the entire underlying runtime because the team that wrote the application itself was so lazy (read: incompetent) that it is slow on literally every machine it runs on and this is apparently the only sane way to fix the whole mess - bar a whole rewrite of the entire application.

I want to know how to prevent my house from freezing (I'm in New England) in the middle of winter during a multiday power outage. Today, I run a 7kW generator that can keep the oil furnace running and the fans to circulate the air through the heat-exchangers (it is a multi-zone system).

It seems that I need soft-start compressors and coordination between the different units so that they don't all try to start at once.

I don't care if the house gets down to 40F during this period. I just don't want the interior water pipes to freeze.
Hard same on this. I didn’t think about it for the first few years of being a parent but, several years ago, I deleted all photos of my kids on social media, as well as a few random ones I had on my blog (followed soon after by deleting all non-professional social media content and accounts). Triggered by an article I read (I wish I’d kept it), it occurred to me that I didn’t have the right to use my kids’ images without their permission. All it once, it felt unfair and irresponsible. Soon after, my oldest asked me, after taking her picture, something to the effect of “is that going to be on the internet?” I was pleased to say “no, never.”

Aside: I wonder if it’s going to be a different experience for kids in the generations that have thousands of photos from their childhood available to them. As someone interested in knowing more about my past, I can’t help but to think it will be a good thing to know all the cool stuff they did, whether they remember it or not.
> US law does not apply to foreign nationals residing in a foreign country.

I don't think parent meant it in the context of US Law, but more as a general statement, is it a reasonable precaution by MS to ban X solely on the actions of their government?
I'm in the US and have had a heat pump for 15 years. It was a fairly small cost add from a straight cool. I get this depends on region, especially for the older units, but I never understood why they were such a hard sell even in mild heating climates.

Ironically, I bought this system because at the time natural gas looked like it would be becoming more expensive more quickly than electricity in my area. Since the cost delta was small, and I don't think it made my total monthly utility bills any higher, no big deal, but I might not have even bothered with a heat pump if I'd known about the fracking boom at the time. (I'm also fortunate enough to live in a state with powerful utility regulators, so electricity prices never spiralled like they did in "deregulation" areas.)

I have been an Ecobee user for years, and one of the main things that sold me on that is the room sensors.

In my house, there's large south-facing windows that let in a lot of sun, and for a lot of the year the north side of the house will be several degrees cooler than the south. I was constantly battling how to set the thermostat, especially to keep the upstairs a decent temperature at night.

The Ecobee 100% solved that: at night the upstairs room sensors control temp, while during the day mostly the main floor does. No guessing: it just works regardless of how sunny it was that day. It would be hard to give that feature up.

Another handy feature which I didn't realize until owning it is the "min fan runtime per hour". Even set to 20 mins, this helped drastically with evening out the temperatures throughout the house.

There's already a thread about an open, local API, and I'd mirror that here. The Ecobee isn't open+local, but if they were to go under (or do something stupid like block HomeAssistant), it's $$$ to rip it out and switch to something else. When we're talking about a $$,$$$ system I wouldn't even consider it without a company committed to providing a proper local API -- including that it won't disappear in an over-the-air firmware update.
I used to when they were big cats. It’s been downhill since…
The point is to not have your company as a single point of failure for the thermostat. So yes, integrate into a wider (open) ecosystem, and that problem is addressed.
Conceptually? yes, but I meant using NVMe fully as RAM, without your RAM sticks.
I always keep it professional, which is also why I feel like I have no choice but to share when I see pitfalls or have a better approach from past experience with seeing exactly what went wrong in similar projects. I have even dealt with people who are hard headed or say things like "fuck the customer" (really) and don't want to listen, and I just preface it with "I know but I just have to say it, it's still your decision what to do". However I've even had it come back around where the thing I warned about came true and since they were in the trusted position they were able to blame the failure on the developers! It's insane how often people will throw you under the bus just to protect their throne of lies.
Like wine, most audio tech and most "audiophiles" is entirely reasonable. Listening to your favourite album on a $10000 hifi setup is a much better experience than listening to it over Spotify on the cheap earbuds that came with your phone. Some speakers do obviously sound better that others, and how you place those speakers in your room objectively has an effect on how good they sound. People with good ears can absolutely hear the difference between cheap and expensive amps and DACs.

The problem is that a small percentage of people don't stop there and start chasing smaller and smaller 'improvements' in the experience until they're forced to make things up and delude themselves to find a new 'high'.
Right now, there's no cost to blanket denials, but there's a huge incentive to do it. My partner works on the hospital side of things, and several major insurance providers deny literally every claim. And why not? At worst, it just means that the insurance company can wait a year or more before paying. At best, they never pay.

Of course, it's also the insurance companies who are adjudicating the claims.

Yes, there are absolutely many distributions where the assertion is correct. It is that fact, that the truth is contingent on the nature of the distribution, which prompts the comment that "half are below average" is not necessarily true but only true contingent on the distribution of "level of expertise".

While that is a very vaguely defined term which is hard to measure accurately, it seem likely that it does not follow a normal distribution but is rather has a bulge at the lower end and have a long tail at the upper end. If this hand-wavey distribution is accepted, that would likely mean that fewer than half are above average. But again, that is contingent on the distribution and not a necessary truth.
> What is interesting with corporatish marketing blog posts is how they usually say the exact opposite of what they mean. Signal blog post about differences is exactly that. They acknowledge the fact that there’s no way a single centralised authority could account for all the differences in the world. Then proceed to say they will do.

Honestly, this is the truth of it. We are so paid in to the idea that walled gardens are the only way that we forget all the things that actually do federate properly and the ergonomics of those.

Imagine not being able to send someone an SMS that was on another provider or phone manufacturer. That's absurd. Yet we put up with exactly that with iMessage/Signal and Whatsapp et al.

I don't have any constructive answers, I know that email is the last federated system that didn't suck and.. well, now it sucks.

Short of Matrix taking off and having a lot of different servers to choose from I suppose our only real answer is legislation. Why does Signal need to be centralised exactly? OMEMO security protocols used to work perfectly fine with pidgin across dozens of providers.

I've been thinking about this, but not enough to dig into the details. Is there a legal obligation for "insurance" companies to use licensed medial professionals for justifying denials (similar to how many fields of engineering require a PE stamp)? And if so, would it be possible to make an organized effort to go after their licenses with the relevant state boards?

> It's usually showing 80x25 of text, yeah?

That would be pretty small in modern times. Certainly some people are working with terminals that size, often then spilling out into multiple terminals side by side on the screen, but modern resolutions are good enough to support a lot more text per terminal than that. As a single data point, my half-screen terminal right now is 140x75.
Reminds me of Noria (later Kapsul), a somewhat early Kickstarter darling that promised to have revolutionized window air conditioners. Theirs would be quiet and light, and inexpensive ($250!), and would ship within a year, all they needed to do was raise $250,000!

The timeline graphic is still up here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kurt/noria-cool-redefin...

They raised nearly $1.5MM, because as it turns out, people will throw money at a solution that sounds amazing, regardless of their understanding of manufacturing and physics. They finally started delivering some five years later, and what they delivered amounted to a repackaged traditional window air conditioning unit. Still noisy, still heavy, and the build quality wasn't great. Cf. https://www.phillymag.com/news/2021/06/23/kapsul-air-conditi...

Johnson Controls does $20-$30 billion in annual revenue. They've swallowed up all kinds of other HVAC companies over the decades. Turns out, there's not a whole lot of innovation to be had in the HVAC world, because of the limitations of physics.

Nest, on the other hand, did some wildly overdue disruption on the control side of things, doing a little bit of math on historic local data to help figure out how to cycle radiators more efficiently, but for the most part, the cost savings tended to be from Nest suggesting that it's silly to be running your AC at 68 degrees F on a 98 degree day.

I appreciate there's an attempt to be transparent at the cost here, but "shipping winter 2024 even though we don't have a physical prototype" for an HVAC system is as big a red flag as there is, to me.
Ultimately you just need to pick a goal and then struggle any way you can to achieve it. Python with the pygame package is a rather approachable way to get pixels up on the screen.

Well don’t forget they didn’t do anything criminal and in a normal turn of events it would have been a note in the quarterly disclosures. The bank run wasn’t a necessity to happen, and I don’t know how culpable they are for it. Certainly they could have done their jobs better and hedged interest rates etc.

Also remember in banking a large percent of your annual compensation is in deferred compensation and often with a long clawback period. These folks could have stood to lose something like 5 years or more of their total compensation. They’re not billionaires, and they’re not likely all that rich (just a wee rich). This will hurt them a lot. Maybe not as much as a kick in the balls but this isn’t a no-op as many people seem to think. It’s enough that no one will look at this with “ooo I should do that” intent for sure.
Condenser can be typically ~25ft from the air handler. It would have to be outside, otherwise it would act as a refrigerator for the garage, and tank the efficiency of the system. System size - we're working on an online tool to get you close to the right size. In the current flow you preorder and a contractor will prepare the final quote and system sizing (we give them a web app to turn a utility bill into a heat pump size).
