I am a junior engineer with experience in big tech back end security and highly available services. My primary experience is in the back end but I am also interested in moving to full stack roles. I am passionate about helping deliver value and ease of use to the end customer. I am a fast learner with solid communication and leadership skills that compliment my strong technology skills.
If you are going to say something like this:

> Main thing I notice is the fear I sense in people whenever cops are nearby, and definitely the sense of this security state hovering over everyone

You should know what that feels like, when it actually occurs. Similarly when someone rushes to declare their country has become "Nazi Germany", they ought to read a history book or two.
Did you check https://farwind-energy.com/fr/ ? That's exactly what they are trying to do !

I would really like to see numbers; as elegant as it appears, I don't really think it can be very efficient.
Even if you could get a charitable donation deduction here, it would be for $0. Charity deductions are only on the amount being donated, and $0 was donated, $0 is being taxed, so $0 is being deducted.
Terry's work is remembered not really because it was exceptionally great but because it was just pretty odd in an interesting way. Plenty of people make hobby operating systems, custom programming languages, and more.

There are thousands of quite intelligent people studying this and they are writing studies and reports which can be googled.

Researchers Overcome Long-Standing Limitation of First Law of Thermodynamics
You'd think a company whose bread and butter is software and services would understand that pissing off customers ain't exactly a winning strategy for making money off those software and services.

It’s a terminal phase you see in a lot of companies. Phase 1 is mega growth in user base. Phase 2 is innovation to try to sell as much as possible to the base, but mostly steady state. Phase 3 is shady monetizing and dark patterns to try to squeeze the last drops of revenue out of the base before dying.

It resembles the lifecycle of a star actually.
I don't really think Firefly is bad, it's just that MJ is exceptionally good.

I feel the opposite. Django is fine, but python ecosystem is the big problem. The lack of true multi threading means for even the simplest of apps you quickly need to have multiple deployments, celery workers etc to handle different kinds of workloads.
> I guess Mac OS is somehow exempt from this particular fault though

MacOS isn’t, but Apple Silicon laptops sort of are. Seems the onboard flash and flash controller integrated into M1 and M2 chips are fast enough that disk paging doesn’t impact performance for most day-to-day task. I’ve personally been very surprised at how much performance Apple have squeezed out of 8GB of RAM, it’s certainly far more than I was accustomed to in the Intel era.
I believe this kind of service is the way forward when it comes to developer tooling.
But paying $39/mo/user for having the right to deal with the deployment myself for a tool that is still alpha is pretty high.
I understand the (tremendous) value prop, but that's the kind of price I'd be expecting from a SaaS version, not from a self-hosted app. Although not giving a discount for self-hosting and a price per user is the "modern" way to do open source (see gitlab or mattermost), it still feels a bit wrong.

Anyway, excuse my old man rant, awesome work and good luck making a business out of it! I'll give it a try.
No, but I expect someone who has committed to a joint project to pay attention to code or design reviews and respond within a week. Which started happening less often.
> The state of my brain is outside of copyright.

Is it actually? If we could fully pull out the state of your brain, and understand that you stored a copy of a copyrighted work, I think you could be on the hook for licensing it, paying fees every time you remember the work as a performance of it.
Such a silly policy to enact without restricting it to incredibly large companies that can already easily dissect these expenses into R&D versus maintenance work.
How do you see that measure as more useful? I see it as very narrowly useful. You’ve conditioned the input to the desired output.

Let’s say my gas tank is empty. One way of treating this is to drive to the gas station. This will fail often (remember, I’m out of gas). We could compare this to other treatments like using a gas can.

Driving to the gas station normally is the better treatment, because normally the gas tank isn’t really empty. But if we’re at the point of getting professional help, it’s actually the other way. We probably have a real problem. If I call up a tow truck company and their suggestion is to drive to the nearest gas station, I wouldn’t say that’s very helpful.

So your conditioning makes sense if the goal is to turn stars into superstars. It is not a good measure for treatment of people in need.

The first half of your first sentence alone should set off alarms “I question efficacy as a valid measure…”

If that's the argument for removing AM, then let's start with all of the other, much more expensive, things that tend to annoy people and that can be removed first. $100 is peanuts.
Are you certain you'll hold any particular opinion for the rest or your life?
They exit via the sunroof.
What do you mean, it is pretty obvious that having more low level control would allow developers improve aspects of their software in certain cases. I am using software for some very time sensitive applications, and in this case linux > windows > macos just because apple's documentation and implementation is not dev friendly while linux with open source amd drivers have the best performance of all. Being closed and not dev-friendly has its costs, too.
AFAIK lossless compression of textures is not an automatic thing for GPUs, however framebuffers - the things you render to - are losslessly compressed to reduce bandwidth usage for rendering and scan-out. You're correct that it's vendor secret sauce. People with access to game console SDKs know a bit more about how it works since you can see the compressed frame buffer contents and you have to manually call the right APIs in the SDK to decompress the frame buffer before you can read it back.

Historically lossless compression has also been applied to the depth buffer when rendering, though it isn't done the same way as the lossless framebuffer compression since depth values are floating point with a limited range. You can find more information about how that stuff works online unlike color compression, since people optimize around it - try searching for "hierarchical Z".

Lossless framebuffer compression becomes especially important in cases where you are using MSAA or SSAA, where you might have a framebuffer containing 4 or more "samples" for every rendered pixel. If all of the samples are from the same polygon, it's quite possible that they will have the same value, so it's really profitable to compress them. Then at the end when you do your "resolve" to turn those 4+ MSAA/SSAA samples into a single pixel, that step becomes easier too.
>Various DOTs have AM radio transmitters for PSAs.

Yep, we've got hurricane routing signs everywhere that also mention what frequency to tune into.
512GB and 8GB ram is actually quite usable for the cast majority of people who laptop; but their existing computer is likely to already have that so why upgrade?

Mistranslation; GP meant "self-service"
Well, explain it however you like, but the point is that GPT is more than happy to confidently emit gibberish, and if you don't know enough to write the code yourself (or you're outsourcing your thinking to it), then you're going to get fooled.

I'd possibly argue that knowing how to ask the right question is tantamount to knowing the answer.
"There is no official confirmation" isn't especially noteworthy, when they simultaneously boast that they would never, ever officialy confirm something like that if it was true.

My bet is most of the editors publishing this story called to ask if it was OK to publish first, and got a yes. They call it a "limited hangout". Better that a reputable source publicizes it with a ton of caveats about how unverified it is, than that someone more hostile finds it out first.
So if you ignore everything that matters in a car purchasing decision, Ioniq 6 is a slam dunk. Haha.

MacinTalk 3 (what you probably think of when you say early 90s Mac), i.e. voices like Fred, is technology closely related to DECTalk, and in fact the audio sample in the article sounds eerily close to a Fred-turned-orthodox.

But the article's description of how Siri synthesizes speech is grossly inaccurate.

It is indeed wondrous to discover a submarine able to navigate the locks and dams of the Mississippi River unnoticed and then lie in wait at the bottom of a muddy creek only to be pulled to the surface by a fisherman in a kayak.

I really wish they had published the brand of fishing line he used, because mine always breaks when I try to pull up anything heavier than a submerged tire or shopping cart.

> We have an immigrant ethos that exceeds that of the UK, France, and Germany.

Again with the outdated mindset. Those countries have as many immigrants or more, per capita, as the US.

> Plus, our large number of decent universities means the masters/F1->OPT->H1B pipeline works well for many educated workers.

Those work well for drawing people in, but how well do they serve second generation immigrants or minorities? Universities in Europe are cheap or free, that's a whole lot more egalitarian.

The US speaks English, is big and has a TON of money. The US basically brute forces everything, which I guess works.
I offroad and camp in the backcountry a lot, often 100s of km from the nearest gas station (let alone anything with an ev charger) and then might be driving area the area hiking/climbing away from camp.

Hard for an ev to beat two 20L jerry cans adding 300km of range to a tank with 450, in the winter, with 500lb of gear. I imagine one day a PHEV will replace my truck but we’re not there yet.

Don’t take the collapse of society to suddenly need to grab a few jerry cans and travel a long way quick where there is no ev chargers
The most recent completed America's Cup uses a boomless dual skinned mainsail held up by a fairly traditional mast. The Cats and Tris between the IACC and the AC75 (2010, 2013, 2017) are more something to take inspiration from I'd think with their more complex internal construction. SailGP's wings, have proven to be quite versatile and durable, albeit with significant maintenance. I'd assume a cargo wingsail would be a bit beefier than a foiling raceboat's.

Despite the switch from wings back to "normal sails" In my view, this latest generation of America's Cup is especially awesome from a follower's perspective for two distinct reasons.

1. The rule is similar to last gen, a foiling 75 foot monohull. A number of the initial engineering work and sorta figuring out how to design and build the various systems has already been done, a team wanting to join in on the fun doesn't have to reinvent the wheel with everything unless they believe they can have an edge by doing so. There are old boats for sale as well as a 40-foot model for training the athletes on their controls.

2. There's a centralized repository for reconnaissance. Meaning, every team, and some of the media have access to sailing, launching, and training footage of every team. What has for over a century required each team employ their own multi-national team of spies to surveil each competitor. It was unnecessarily costly and the fans get the added benefit of being to watch much more of each team's boats as their systems morph throughout the design process. I have a friend on the recon team and as well have been exposed through a yt channel, "Mozzy Sails"[1], who does a great assessment on the various teams systems developments.

If you're a fan of F1 for the engineering bits, you'll likely feel right at home following some of the America's Cup coverage. Even the technical documents like the Class Rule and super interesting to me. [2]

> There is absolutely a way to do this but the new money coming in wants to keep as much revenue as possible to "preserve" valuation.

The new money only has a say if you take it, and if you can get your burn rate to zero, then you may survive without new money.

So you might be able to choose what’s better for you and/or the existing investors: take the new money on its terms or make unpleasant cuts and keep going without new money. (And, of course, you personally can exit if that’s best for you.)

This emphasis on price is a bit misleading imho. Arm had revenues of less than $800m in the last reported quarter and there were 8 billion Arm cores shipped. So that’s less than 10c per core. And that’s not the fee for the ISA it’s the total cost of licensing the core. So if you’re expecting a big cost saving on the end user price from the ISA being open source then you’ll be likely to be disappointed.

More important is that more competition may lead to better designs and the RISC-V gives more freedom for firms to innovate.

Are you kidding? You definitely don't have an effective tax rate of 48%... Here in Quebec (which has the highest tax rate) that would make you higher than 400k a year... (45% at that point) [1]. You most probably meant marginal rate, and probably live in a pretty high cost area, but still 160k shouldn't stop you from being quite wealthy.

I'm closer to 100k, my SO own a business and make very little money. I rent a 2 bedrooms apartments close to Montreal, I order food regularly, own a Volt and I am currently looking at house 30 minutes away from Montreal. It's much cheaper than elsewhere in Canada though,

Ah, it's not like the G-d of the Torah is known to be vengeful, is he?
I place blame first on Musk and the executives, but then on the engineers, and third on marketing. Because the engineers know, or should have known, better. They were educated to know better. I know some of those people and they are smart people. I know for a fact they know better. And yet two heads are without bodies.

They knew what the fix was after the first decapitation. Real sensors. Don't test on public roads. Don't test on consumers. That they didn't quit en masse after that is on them. That they went on to continue building and shipping the car without fixing the problem, leading to a second decapitation... there are no words. Malpractice doesn't cover it.

It's as if you were an engineer for a bridge which resulted in a collapse that caused loss of life due to the poor bridge design. If you go on to make that same bridge again... that's on you.

Shin splints are horrid but can be avoided.

Increase your cadence to at least 170 strides per minute. More if you can. This forces you to lower stride length. Overstriding is a main cause for shin splints.

Also try to think about your hips when you run. An anterior hip tilt will put excess stress on shins and quads. Tense your glutes when running to keep hips level. Imagine you are carrying a bowl of water in your hips and try not to spill!

Also weak glute medius will cause knee pain and potentially shin splints. Try strengthening up the glutes and shortening stride length.

Good luck!

I believe that those chatbots would be a great solution for Reference Manuals / User manuals for microcontrollers. Those documents usually have thousands of pages (less than 10000) sometimes logically and sometimes absurdly illogically sorted.

But those tools are severely limited on maximum amount of pages. This tool has max 300 pages. ChatPDF (or how it was named) has limit on 2000 pages in paid version. So I will need to wait until those models are more available.

They should drop the underscore. At the time I wrote this comment "pop" appears 21 times on this page, and only 3 of those times bother to follow it with an underscore.

The brand is Pop or Pop OS. The only thing the underscore accomplishes is communicating "this is at least a little awkward" which I hope they don't intend.
