Off topic but I bet you could tell the difference between an espresso shot pulled after stirring the grounds to ensure even distribution vs one that hasn't been messed with. I'm not saying you can tell the difference between stirring with a toothpick vs stirring with tiny metal tines. You can actually observe a difference in how the water flows through the grounds, you can measure how much coffee has been extracted into the water with a refractometer, and you can do a blind taste test and identify which is which. If the grounds are not evenly distributed, you get channels where the water passes through under high pressure, and this over extracts those grounds making the shot taste extremely bitter, and other grinds are left untouched or under extracted. I was very skeptical of this until I observed it myself.

I had a similar experience with AWS. They warned us of a crypto hijacking of one of our servers. They weren't any help on internally battling it. They were hands off on anything within the server, and didn't have any advice on how to address it. I had to manually battle it. Their backup and device swapping services were pretty handy though.
a “run” can simply be a wake up call to wealthy people with hundreds of thousands or millions in some 0% earning checking account to funnel that money into a money market or t-bills earning 4-5%.

Steering wheel controllers have outsold the GameCube. The fact that there’s a dedicated niche of users for a product has no correlation to broader market interest.

Not to mention that consumer electronics sales in 2002 vs 2023 are just nowhere near in the same ballpark. A phone maker sells more phones in a year today than a top selling line of mp3 players might have sold over its entire lifetime in the 2000s.
Hmm, I'd guess that it might impact something that is different between different compilers and the like - timing on when the different code runs. Eg. One memcpy sometimes runs faster than other times, leading to distortion on the music. I imagine there's lots of built in tools that minimize said distortion by buffering, but if your buffered data is just barely keeping up with what's playing, a slightly slower copy could leaver the buffer empty for a moment

I will defend the coffee people.

Distribution tools are for espresso, not pour over or immersion brewed coffee. In espresso, you have extremely high pressure, so if there is a density differential in the coffee cake, you will get most of the water flowing through the spot that has the lowest density, and the rest of the cake will not be visited, making for a weaker drink.

Also, the "recipes" are usually just a ratio of coffee grounds to boiling water by mass, a rough idea of how fine to grind, and a brew time. If you take these parameters and vary them by any reasonable amount, you will definitely taste the difference.

Overall, it's not an apt analogy. There is no "fidelity" for coffee like there is for audio. There is a quantitative loss function you can define for audio quality - just the sound you're trying to replicate versus the sound that your system actually ends up generating. For example, no human ear can hear frequencies above ~22kHz, meaning anything over the normal ~44kHz sample rate provably makes no difference.

I know a Nobel Prize winner who seemed to enjoy teaching an elementary physics class and had a great team that supported him in that.

On the other hand I know a professor at a small Christian college who got his PhD at a prestigious school who takes undergrad teaching very seriously. I asked him about a prof at the famous school who'd written more than one undergraduate textbook and said "doesn't that mean he takes undergraduate teaching seriously?" and he shook his head.
> But I cannot notice a major difference between the $100 system, and say a $100k system (or whatever audiophiles spend).

You definitely will, but at lot of it will come from the fact that the latter system will be set up well in an isolated room with proper speaker placement, while the former will be some speakers thrown in a living wherever they fit.

The "slippery slope" here is that I apply my above argument to all monetization of children. But that is where the slope stops. The slope is in fact simply the existing social standard against child labor, with the entertainment industry carve-outs removed.

It would take a non-trivial increase in funding, I bet. Like maybe 5-10 times the funding we have now. Take Portland for example, which has relatively decent public transit for an American city of that size. For any meaningful trip within the city, it takes 2-3x as long on the bus compared to driving a car. They'd have to run a lot more buses to make it competitive. That's expensive.

And in terms of average wait times by area, the Guardian published the following data in Dec 2022 (based on a FOI request to ambulance trusts):

<quote>
For category one calls, the most urgent, where an ambulance is meant to arrive within seven minutes, several areas reported waiting times close to or more than 15 minutes.

The longest average wait for such calls was in Mid Devon, with a time of 15 minutes 20 seconds, almost three times as long as the average of 5 minutes and 48 seconds in Hammersmith, west London.
</quote>

So the 48-hour average waiting time claim does not stand up to scrutiny.

I didn't say that this art cover is such a thing. I attacked your criteria of a "pressing need" with this description, this argument is independent of discussion about this particular cover.

I don't think anyone should be able to ban other people from committing voluntary transactions. The band wants to sell the album. I want to buy it. Somebody else's opinions on what is and what isn't art are not relevant to either of us.

First Republic and other US regional banks tumble over fears of deposit flight
You're right, "sent a strong signal" is deliberately ambiguous, in the sense that there has not been a declared policy shift of the FDIC to protect uninsured deposits. However, given that SVB and Signature were not previously declared Systematically Important Banks, yet all of their depositors were made whole, should give depositors confidence that that the Federal Government will see they are protected.

Now, whether the FDIC should make this a declared policy position remains to be seen, but I believe that would require congressional action.

The original point is simply that RSS would have gone the way of the web, in terms of the presence of advertising, had it become mainstream.

There being workarounds or other models possible doesn't change that and it also applies to the web today. As another commentor pointed out, RSS would have unique difficulties for adblockers as well.

Yeah, I've been wanting containers for these type of projects for a while now. Conda is fine if you're already involved in the ML/Python ecosystem, and as an outsider to that world I guess I have no right to complain (Conda is actually not all that hard to learn all things considered), but boy would it be nice if I could just install Docker, run `docker run cool_project/ml_wizardry`, and have a demo up and running in my web browser instantly.
I think this is close to the most credible explanation for why you could ever hear a difference. High CPU load could result in buffer underruns, which can result in audible artifacts (as there's not enough samples in the buffer to guarantee smooth playback).

What are the implications in two weeks?
Then let's call it what it is specifically instead of using such imprecise language: It's the sale of the assets of a bank in order to guarantee depositors' funds. It's not like the way zombie banks were given money to continue to exist in 2008, or the way the GM and Chrysler were given money to continue operating at the same time.

The use of broad-to-the-point-of-meaningless but emotionally charged terms like "bailout" results in stories that distort what's actually going on to fit a particular narrative.
> What does the interest rate have to do with inflation

From what I gather it is supposed to work like this:

Low interest
-> cheap loans and low interest on savings
-> more money in the market to buy goods and services
-> not enough goods and services to cover the demand
-> prices go up
-> inflation

Higher interest rates
-> expensive loans and higher interest on savings
-> less money in the market to buy goods and services
-> demand goes down until market finds a new equilibrium
-> inflation goes down

Any economists around here who want to correct my simplified picture?
Yeah, society would absolutely be culturally impoverished if this would be considered off-limit.

Limiting the space of 'allowed' expression and saying it's okay because culture is not essential isn't really the best path to take as a society.

> Having a laptop a lightly technically minded person can repair easily makes little sense if it isn't targeted at their niche.

I disagree. There's value in a laptop that can be easily repaired/upgraded for non tech people. And I mean that. People that will only use their laptops for zoom, lightweight internet browsing and stuff like that.

Because, they will fucking break something and better to have it easily repaired than having to go a specialized center.

Sounds like an update to federal law is in order, at the very least tying that number to inflation (or perhaps to corporate profits?).

Monster memcpy, distributed on gold plated USB sticks.
Yuo see, when standard memcpy runs it has a big variance of power, i.e. large cycle to cycle differences in effective current through the processing chip. Agner Fog's memcpy is optimized to use the pipelines effectively, makes the processing operate smoothly and not in discrete steps, much less variation. That variation causes fluctuation in primary voltage supply which leaks into the analog path, creating noise and harshness.
I am guessing multiplexer. I really miss tmux on windows, hopefully this could be a replacement. But I don't know about the project

This is very true. I bought an earphone recently because it had the best technicals for its price-point. I was nice, but somewhat overwhelming to listen to for a long time. Some songs were harsh and sounded too airy. As much as I wanted to love it, I couldn't.

Then I bought a cheaper one that lots of reviewers said sounded good on anything they tried (Tin T2). It had "worse" technicals but guess what, I'm using it more than the older one and finding it way more pleasant to listen to.

I'm in Canada, originally from Europe; and to simplify, I never really "understood" regional banks. I was an exchange student in Minnesota and banked with... "Bank of Fairmont". Tiny city of 11k people, and it had its own bank. Seemed horribly inefficient and weird; and then when you left your home town you were in a load of headache. Of course that was 25 years ago, but still, when I hear there are 4,000 banks in USA (not branches; separate independent banks), I cannot help but ask... why?? Until recently, USA seemed way way way behind on convenience and efficiency; and the "fintech innovations" that are happening now seem built on ridiculously sketchy framework.

Understood that small regional banks exist and it'd be senseless and disruptive to kill them off now, but if we take them as a historical artifact that we must live with, what actual advantages, in clean-sheet model, do they have, that would counter-act the poster's main point?

At HiFi Klubbben in Lillehammer, Norway some guy tried to sell me gold cables, because the sound quality becomes so much better with them. I worked as an audio engineer at the time. I just smiled at him politely, then I left the store.

Next time I came around, he tried to sell me this CD player with a huge brick in it. "You get much better sound quality when the player has a brick in it," he told me. So I answered, "For sure! It makes the sound a lot more stable! Badum, tsch!"
