The apparent battery life might be distorted a bit by my work and gaming machines being separate, but the mouse in my gaming setup (Logitech G604 Lightspeed) gets months of life out of a single Eneloop Pro rechargeable AA when using its USB RF dongle. It was a bit of a surprise with my last wireless mouse having been the mid-2000s Logitech MX1000 which had an integrated battery and needed to be docked a lot more frequently… it's fuzzy but I think I might've gotten a week out of it on average.
You can get more exotic prescription stims still from most places. E.g. Mydayis (adderall xr with three instead of two sets of granules), Azstarys (methylphenidate and a prodrug methylphenidate), and Adzenys (different type of slow release adderall). If they call any Bartells they will tell them what they have in stock. Have them do that before contacting the doc, then have them tell the doc what is available.
> To expand upon this. You not only have to prove that a, e.g., policy or manager’s behavior, resulted in negative effects distributed along racial lines but also that there was racist intent behind that policy or behavior.

No, you don’t. Once you show that a policy creates concrete disadvantage on racial lines, to overcome liability the employer must prove a sufficient business justification. (Griggs v. Duke Energy, the case often misrepresented as prohibiting IQ tests in employment, instead established that rule.)

If you can establish specific intent regarding creating racial disadvantage, then no business justification can overcome that, but you don’t have to establish that to establish unlawful discrimination.
>they do abstract concepts

I don't think, given that we don't even have a particularly full understanding of how human conceptual logic functions, that we can claim that even AIs are using it as well. It's only "abstracting" in the sense that it has labeled one million objects in its training set with the word "tree," and fuses many of those images together to form a general picture dependent on specific parameters made to limit its set (oak tree, winter tree, etc.)

But that is different from me or you using the word tree, which is just a signifier among signifiers, it stands for nothing but a negation of the very thing it points to in a certain set of symbolic relations. Humans communicate in the order of symbolic structures, our minds function much more like LLMs, creating multitudinous pattern relations. What you call "abstract concepts" are of a secondary order imposed to create rigorous exactitude overtop the riddled mess that we call the human psyche.

I have a universal benchmark for judging how much knowledge a language model stores, and it's asking about the G-FOLD paper (https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/marsconcepts2012/pdf/4193....), because I noticed GPT-3.5 hallucinates when asked about it, whereas GPT-4 is capable of providing a high-level overview.
I see gpt as a second pair of eyes that you can ask specific questions to and it usually gets it right. But you have to think of it like your asking a busy senior: ask specifically what you want, with only the relevant info you have in question. It may have been better to ask it to make a timer class apart from your app and then tie it in on your own.

I'd just look for what people say in the bad reviews. I generally use mine on the lowest temps, 80 or 90. I don't know what kind of maniac would use them at the higher temps. Every time I turn it on I have to press the button to cycle through the temperatures, a mild annoyance but NBD. It automatically turns off after a few hours which is a feature, not a bug. It used to be that I'd sit down at my desk and my hands would never warm up, now they warm up from the mat and stay warm even after the thing turns off.
Sometime I would go a year without flats and sometimes I would get like (this was worst ever) 5 in a month.
I have a similar experience with tubeless, maybe half the time I setup a tubeless tire it works for weeks without refills, the other half i have to reinflate one a week. However it’s worth it because the reason I go tubeless is to have very low PSI for comfort, like around 30 PSI, can’t get that with tubes.
A good number of these mouse show a difference of 0.2 ms betwen wired & wireless. That's one frame at 500fps. As you say, there are so many other factors that radically dwarf this transport concern. It's hard to take this as a discussion when people protest so vehemently against such a tiny figure, when it's such a small factor.

Also griefing about battery seem like horseshit too. I have a travel mouse with a single rechargeable AA battery in it. I have a variety of gaming mice, including a Razer Naga Epic from ~2010 that I've literally worn the buttons through to unreliability on. These mice all have li-ion batteries and they all work fine. Maybe in aggregate I've worn through like a single rechargable AA cells worth of use over a decade. The rate of attrition on rechargeable batteries is tiny.

It's just incredible what the cables-or-die undead-alliance goes through to justify their fanatical anti-cause.

From Wikipedia:

An example of a backronym as a mnemonic is the Apgar score, used to assess the health of newborn babies. The rating system was devised by and named after Virginia Apgar. Ten years after the initial publication, the backronym APGAR was coined in the US as a mnemonic learning aid: Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Activity, and Respiration.[6]

Many United States Congress bills have backronyms as their names; examples include the American CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act) of 2020,[7][8] the USA PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act) of 2001, and the DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act).[9] In the 113th Congress (2013) there were over 240 bills with such names.[10]

The Bing name was chosen through focus groups, and Microsoft decided that the name was memorable, short, and easy to spell, and that it would function well as a URL around the world. The word would remind people of the sound made during "the moment of discovery and decision making".[19] Microsoft was assisted by branding consultancy Interbrand in their search for the best name for the new search engine.[20] The name also has strong similarity to the word bingo, which is used to mean that something sought has been found or realized, as is interjected when winning the game Bingo. Microsoft advertising strategist David Webster originally proposed the name "Bang" for the same reasons the name Bing was ultimately chosen (easy to spell, one syllable, and easy to remember).

[FWIW, no mention of Bing as a backronym.]
I would bet money that storage is a solved problem by the end of the decade, about the same amount of time it takes to build a nuclear reactor.

Last I looked the NitroTPM product didn't have anything like an Endorsement Key certificate or any mechanism for authenticating a public Endorsement Key. Discrete TPM chips usually have an EKcert. GCP's vTPMs do not have an EKcert but Google provides a facility for looking up a guest's EKpub. It'd be nice if NitroTPM also had this.

Also, it's passingly strange to see PCRs mentioned with no mention of TPMs.

Erm, Kahnemann got a Nobel price in economy for his work with Amos Tversky over a decade which this was a part of. I am not sure what you need here, do you need a list of papers by Kahnemann and Tversky? With Terry Odean thrown in for good measure?

Good. I understand that this makes life harder for people with actual ADHD, but it's clear now that abuse of Adderall, Vyvance, and other amphetamines as cognitive performance enhancer is rampant, and not just in software, but in academia, and other parts of society. No one should have to compete with these crypto methheads for jobs or PhD slots.

Look at what StackOverflow posted not long ago: https://stackoverflow.blog/2023/02/19/developer-with-adhd-yo...

ADHD is supposed to be a disability, yet the post suggests it makes you a better programmer! Of course, if ADHD requires symptom-blunting medication, then is the post arguing that only un- or partially-medicated ADHD patients make better programmers? Or that fully-medicated ADHD patients, with some residual ADHD symptoms, make better programmers? Please. The post reads like amphetamine abusers trying to convince each other (and potential employers) that they're the best at what they do, despite not being able to do it without drugs.
Completely agree, for me Vyvanse lasts longer than two-dose adderall IR and XR, which affects my sleep and appetite a lot. Basically the release is more spread out, so it’s less effective when its at its peak, even though the actual metabolized d-amp is higher than I was at formerly with IR. It’s also a lot more expensive for me. I hate it, but it’s all I can get.

The wonderful medical experts at the DEA have my gratitude for coming up with such an excellent solution to the scourge of telehealth. I’m sure they did a thorough analysis weighing disrupting/ending millions of stable ADHD patients’ treatment against the possibility of someone getting medication they might not need.
Another case that pops up a lot is dealing with dates from third party systems that aren't timezone aware. Trying to convert them without knowing what timezone they were supposed to be in in the first place doesn't work, you have to just display them with no conversion.
> GE is a multibillion dollar company. Something doesn’t seem right if they are claiming they can deliver radically cheap energy. I mean, what shareholder or board member in the right mind is going to say, “Sure, let’s kill our profits!” Or did I miss something obvious?

If GE equipment can deliver more efficiently than competitors, GE willexpand marketshare, and applications will expand based on the cheap energy. Also, GE is highly diversified, most of its businesses (like most businesses that aren’t selling energy, really) benefit from cheap energy.

The only way I could go laptop-exclusive is with a VESA mount laptop stand attached to an adjustable monitor arm. I've grown too used to my desktop monitors sitting at the perfect height thanks to the arms they're attached to.

I think I'd be quickly frustrated though because even on a 16" MBP, using an IDE like Xcode or Android Studio the screen gets jam-packed so easily with all the panes and inspectors and such. That screen size is probably like a football field to the vim/emacs types though.
I get this. Work requires every single PR to receive 2 reviews. It's not so bad in office because you just pull up a chair and have a discussion. But having to do it remote is infuriating and painfully slow. It takes hours at best, days on average to get a review, and then you make the changes and have to wait hours/days again for the next round. It's especially bad when a reviewer just isn't sure what something does so they leave a question and don't approve. Now you have to go through the whole process just to have them read and approve.

And this is just one scenario. There are so many things that seem to just grind to a halt when you can't just go talk to someone. You have to instead try to book a meeting which is so much friction that you avoid doing it if at all possible.
There's a CGI demo on their website.
Actually software was almost always free and public domain up until the early 1970’s as accountants realized they could extort more dollars by making software licensing models. In 1983 Richard Stallman made the gnu copy left and fsf as a reaction to the role of aggressive sales jocks and bean counters in computing. The rest, is, of course, well know. But the 1950-1970 period was also, albeit less formalized, a heyday of more unfettered public domain development. I’d also note that concurrently in the 1980’s was the shareware movement, which didn’t generally distribute source but free binaries (or with nominal distribution costs to cover media etc).

The moral of the story is accountants know the price of everything and the value of nothing, and if you really want to kill something of beauty, let an accountant be in charge. (Source: I’m married to an accountant - while a person I love, she can’t understand living for any other reason than counting money)
Sure, it's just that a lot of the parquet using people aren't using command line tools for this because it's just too slow and not practical to do that at scale. Scaling down what these tools do is of course possible but not really a priority. Tools probably exist that do this already though. And if they don't you could probably script something together with things like python pretty quickly. It's not rocket science. You could probably script together a grep like tool in a few minutes. Not a big deal. And the odds are you are a quick google search away from finding a gazillion such tools.

But the whole point of parquet is doing things at scale in clusters, not doing some one of quick and dirty processing on tiny data on a laptop. You could do it. But grep and csv work well enough for those use cases. The other way around is a lot less practical.
The reality is that unless you can afford to pay for high-end concierge medicine you're going to have to manage most of it yourself. Regular primary care physicians don't have time to deal with non-standard preventative care for people who are basically healthy. You can order many blood tests directly from reference labs such as LabCorp without a doctor but you'll probably have to pay out of pocket.

You don't need any fancy equipment to get an accurate VO2 Max estimate. Just do a Cooper test by running as far as you can in 12 minutes and then plug the distance into a formula.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooper_test

Modern fitness trackers such as recent Garmin watches can also make fairly accurate VO2 Max estimates but you have to give them enough raw data to work with. That means recording several running or cycling (with a power meter) activities of varying lengths at maximum effort. If you don't hit it hard then the device will still make an estimate but it's likely to be way off.

>Also I’ve never seen a networking over powerline system that worked better than Wi-Fi. Not all conductive paths are effective for signals.

although I agree that powerline networking is garbage, I have encountered older construction houses that create an environment that is just about impossible to conquer without specialist wireless equipment.

passive blocking via exotic wall materials, older drywall and fairing compounds that contained metallic particulate, various metallic accoutrements -- and accidental active jamming from poor wiring.

>Which is why professional musicians and broadcasters would never use wireless microphones and pickups. (sarcasm)

eh -- this is just an effective and allowed compromise. A performer will usually prefer not to drag wires around a stage just from the sheer physical discomfort from the additional weight and the worry of a trip hazard on an already hazardous stage.

That said , many performers opt to avoid such conveniences due to a perceived difference in quality. [0]

Oh cool.

Yeah I 100% agree, more executor-neutral API’s would be amazing. Especially for stuff like networking client libs, I wish hyper, Axum, tower, tonic, etc were all executor-neutral, or at least provided executor specialisations via features or something.
This is historical revisionism, plain and simple. In Mech's book, it clearly explains that "[t]he original alpha animals in a pack would be the mated pair that produced the young of which the pack is composed." L. David Mech, The Wolf: The Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species 69 (2003 ed. Univ. Minn. Press).

"Alpha" has not implied harsh dominance through cruelty for at least the past couple of decades, if it ever did.

Indeed, Mech's book even notes the alpha taking the pack's fears and desires into account. "If wolf government is strictly autocratic, one would expect to see pack members always following the leader blindly.... Strict autocracy is ruled out by an observation that I made on Isle Royale.... The island's pack of sixteen wolves was headed across the ice of Lake Superior from Isle Royale toward the mainland, some twenty miles away. The wolves had gotten about one and one half miles from the northeast tip of the island when dissension among them became evident. Although most of the wolves appeared unwilling to continue, the leader seemed determined. Several times he returned to the hesitant pack and apparently tried to urge the members on. They continued for another half mile or so until they came to a section of rough and jagged ice. After testing this, the pack returned to Isle Royale. I had the distinct impression that it was the hesitancy of most of the pack members that stimulated the leader to turn back." Id. at 75-76. The current criticism of the term "alpha" is a straw man that mischaracterizes the original work's claims about pack leadership. "Alpha" in Mech's book isn't about unbridled "fighting" or "aggression," it's about kin relationships and social capital and taking care of the pack. The current view is not meaningfully different from the view in the book.

I suspect, though have no evidence, that this revisionism is due to political pressure over perceived "toxic masculinity" adopting "alpha" as a trope. If so, it is extremely distasteful, even dangerous; reinforcing the idea that science should bend to politics is authoritarian, naive, and threatens the survival of any nation where such is done.
