My comment isn't directly related to the OP, but figured it'd be an interesting insight to share as it's very recent for me.

Just finished a motorbike trip in Laos. Fun fact, their largest export is electricity.

Would've never guessed that, right?

90% of the electricity they generate is exported to neighboring countries - mostly Thailand.

80% is renewable - Go Laos!

But wait, it may be renewable... but turns out the government is corrupt and constantly sells rights to the highest bidder wanting to build a dam for hydroelectric wherever they want, and usually without any sort of environmental survey - oops. It's the driest country I've been to in a while, many villages had their water access completely destroyed due to upstream dams.

Just a cautionary tale as "renewable" doesn't necessarily mean better - green-washing is absolutely still a thing out there and we should be sure to thoroughly vet information before assuming it's more viable solution for us.
Don’t worry; Teams 2.0 promises to suck less. They are ditching Chromium for new Edge technology.
It’s worth considerably more than that as an individual since you lose any investment risk, and contributing the same as employer + employee contribution to a pension is unlikely to get you benefits on retirement with the same annual payment.
Consider that many of these chips are in things like automobile ECUs, aircraft parts, industrial controllers, etc. Changing them requires pretty rigorous testing for timing issues, operating temp ranges, considerable design and test to meet regulatory requirements, etc. Different CPU probably also cascades to needed changes for parts around the CPU, software, and so on.

Then, for any entity that successfully moves from one supplier with one process size to a different one...they are creating more demand there, which could precipitate shortages now in that space. Then, there's peripheral effects. Like perhaps some of the suppliers are liking the new per-unit margins during the shortage, and won't just let it all go when demand/supply normalizes.

Privacy concerns aside, ha ha, I wish a search site could rank results based on how long the user spends on the site. Most of the crap-sites that seem to get on the front page would disappear instantly from the rankings.
That only sounds like an issue in markets without healthy competition, which ideally shouldn't exist either way.

It's inevitable that people will follow parts of the trail without the paper map. Perhaps hunting geo caches. Or perhaps looking for a waterfall they saw on Google maps or some website.

If it's in OpenStreetMap, they can easily follow established trails using an app they are used to. I.e. less erosion. And when they get lost or injured, use the app to self rescue.
Remember: it is all up to you to set the company culture. If you find the right people who can thrive under the freedom and responsibility that comes with it, I am sure you will have created a great place to work!

Ideas to compact these lists.

1) Observe that in the merged CIDR list, the last octet is almost always zero and the network bitmask length is almost always 24 or less. Therefore, use the last octet to hold the mask length so the entire allocation fits in one 32 bit integer address. For example:

23.124.16.0/20 would be stored as 23.124.16.20

2) Note that the max possible network mask length is 32 (24 using our compact notation). In many cases, it is more efficient to store only the networks that do *not* match the desired allocation. For example, if 23.124.0.0/16 thru 23.124.255.0/24 all match except 23.124.16.0/20 does not, add 32 to the network mask length in the last octet to serve as a negative flag and then 8 individual network entries can be condensed into only one single negative entry:

23.124.16.52

With these changes, a modified CIDR list can be compacted and stored and searched very efficiently on the server. Obviously, the search routine has to be fully aware of the compact format rules being used.

Web service providers throw a monkey wrench into this entire concept. In most cases, foreign hackers can easily rent an address that is inside your allowed access list.
Because renewables (which I am personally fond of; PV on my roof) cannot cover Germany’s electricity needs/baseload but only supplement it.

Driven by an ideological agenda of Ms Merkel and the green party, they shut down nuclear power plants (needed to cover our base load in chemical/manufacturing/whatnot) and replaced it with gas from Russia (don’t ask me why). Now that Russian gas isn’t exactly on the table anymore and we not only depend on Russian gas for heating but also a great deal for electricity (nuclear was shut down, remember) we have no choice but ramp up to coal thanks to the Green party.

The fact that Germany’s “greenest” (carbon emissions-wise) day was still worst than France’s most polluting day speaks volumes.

Wind power and solar DO NOT suffice to cover Germany’s electricity need unless you go full-scale deindustrialisation (which the Green party certainly would favor). I’m all in for PV on everyone’s roofs, I have geothermal heating for my house, I built everything low energy - but please lets stop the ideological destruction of our economy and our environment by the Green party’s “vision”.
1. I'm working with an amazing team. Experience has taught me that there's no amount of money worth working with a bad one.

2. I have a disabled spouse and the public sector has offered quite a bit of flexibility around this (e.g. work from home pre-COVID).

3. Everything is customer focused. No dark patterns or data collection. Everything is open source.

4. Work I can believe in. I've worked on everything from drug delivery to environmentally safe fire exstinguishers to solar tech. Comparatively, the last private sector job I interviewed with would have mostly served was building b2b middleware for crypto firms.

5. Variety. I get to touch a huge range of tech, so the job never gets boring. Among the tasks on my annual review for next year, I'm touching 3D rendering, parsers, GPU computing (not CUDA - can't guarantee the users have an NVIDIA card), computational chemistry, and transitioning our GUI code to a declarative framework. I declared myself a C++ developer, but I once had a single day where I had to edit code in eight different languages (C++, Python, Racket, Tcl, Labview, IDL Wave, Mathematica, Labtalk) and I've worked with at least as many more in production.

6. The pay isn't that big of a difference. My last job offer in the private sector was £50k, but there were enough caveats that it would have worked out about the same in the end.

Make sure your quotes are plain quotes and not smart quotes.

Huh?

When Pakistan successfully became a nuclear capable nation in 2000s, Indians had the same reactions - to laugh at their stupidity of misplaced priorities.

The cartoon is trying to make an invalid point and insult India with their joke, that is how it became racist. It did not become racist by the idea of painting a set of people with broad brush.

The cartoon shows an unwelcome 'Indian' is knocking the door of super powers to be let in the elite club room amusing those inside it. If this is the case it is a huge discouragement for India because no matter what we do, even without any cheap superficial attempt to impress other countries, we will be mocked at with backdrop of embarrassing history that is no longer true and widespread as they make it seem to drive home the point with. This callousness is what makes NYT
racist.

Is it not racist to think India is hungry and desperate for power recognition, show off and then being complacent after like the people inside the room?

The subsequent money we get from West to deploy their payloads through the same advanced missions was also improving our poverty and cheaper for them .

Apart from mere recognition of a fact of our achievement, we know we have other problems we are famous for and funded by International bodies, including West themselves. So what makes NYT want to rub the salt into the wound in as if we forgot, at a time of celebration? Where else is it coming from, if not from the place of disdain onto this other nation?

You have to have some special kind of psychopathy to make fun of other country's poverty when they do know that the space missions are conducted after calculating all the costs and SWOT analysis taking into account of such poverty. Or do you think we are not intelligent enough for that?

It is this contemptuousness that I call NYT racist, not the one you elaborated upon.
> ...have solar and where building codes are actually being changed to require solar panels...

Do you have a source for that? It sounds kinda silly. The maintenance + OH&S aspects of solar panels are nontrivial and it doesn't make sense to mandate them on residential homes.

I've always assumed that once the economics make sense it'll be easier to build a massive solar farm and let people use the grid as usual. Much less risk of people falling off roofs,heavy objects falling off roofs, wiring being misconnected, weird maintenance problems, managing the ebb and flow of energy, etc. I don't want to have to look after my own panels.
It used to be like this in British English (the so-called long scale, where milliard was 10^9 and billion was a million millions, 10^12).

Now, indeed, the split is roughly along the line of English (and Russian, Turkics and Arabic) on the short scale side and everyone else, especially Continental European language speakers on the other.
It's not a universal rule: Brazil is maybe the largest defector from the Continental European group to the short scale, but Canada reinforces the rule by using both, with the choice being dictated by whether you're speaking English or French.
The Art of Email [video]
Absolutely not. This makes me queasy even to think about. I’d have called it brilliant… yesterday. A brilliant joke made to horrify and amuse.

LinkedIn and TikTok are awful. On their own. Both encourage a low attention span, and both push for the gamified notion of a social network.

LinkedIn hasn’t been very professional in a while, TikTok never was.

Why do you want to Captain Planet this?

Have you considered adding a ChatGPT assistant that looks like an office product? You couldn’t make it a paperclip for… a few reasons.
… they probably had to ramp up to help out their German neighbors when their electricity grid was close to collapose because of a non-sustainable idealogically driven strategy authored by the Green part being completely oblivious of today’s reality.
If it does make it to the planned apogee, I am curious what percentage of heat shield tiles will remain attached all the way to splash. My uninformed gut tells me that this might be a problem area.

> you’d have to insert a check every time you add two signed integers together,

This is exactly what is done in serious code. It is typically combined with contracts and static analysis (often human), e.g. "it is guaranteed that this input is in range 10-20, so adding it with this other 16 bit int can be assumed to be below sint32_max".
Ethics? We've heard of it.
> was due to shitty construction quality

That is still the case in Japan. There is a big fire in the news every single day, and when a house burns, they burn down completely, with only a smoldering pile of ashes remaining. I have never seen something similar in Europe.
I don't think it's that hard. It's that spam sites benefit Google so there is no incentive to do anything about it, as the spam websites may contain Google ads/analytics and contribute to Google's bottom line.

Spam sites generally try to either show you lots of ads, make you click on affiliate links or outright sell you something.

This can all be detected and used as a negative ranking signal, so that all else being equal, a page without advertising/affiliate links/etc would rank higher than a page with those elements. This would allow non-spam content (if it exists and matches the query) to outrank spam content.
Five Years of GPT Progress
Even supposedly skeptical people are expecting too much, including the rocket exploding, and the launch attempt not being boring. More likely is a launch abort without anything interesting happening.
I don't really understand the advantage of rooftop solar over just putting the same number of solar panels in a field somewhere. Id think it would be a lot cheaper to install the panels in one-place then having to distribute them to a bunch of differently shaped and oriented roof tops, and cheaper to have a few large inverters instead of a bunch of small ones.
The repeated results puzzle me, and it happens every single time. Show more results —> literally same results for pages! What’s the explanation for that?

Nah, it should be mentioned as often as possible, like Mark Zuckerberg stating They "trust me". Dumb fucks. Only appropriate drawing attention when an organization is deceiving.
Aiibb(A.I. Intention Bounty Boards) or How to save earth from skynet
Read about the tech leaders calling for the six month A.I. research slowdown, found it a bit unrealistic. It's like asking a rhino charging through a china shop to put on a tutu and start dancing.

So, if the brightest minds on earth are failing to stop the other brightest minds on earth from creating robots smarter than everyone and ruining humanity for everyone, what could I possibly do?

And I figured I might at least throw my semi-solution out there in case it inspires people with more intellect and energy to do the good work of keeping humanity dominant.

An AIIBB, or Artificial Intelligence Intention Bounty Board, would be a board based on collecting A.I projects and rewarding solutions with bounties. It would be a log of what people intend to do with A.I, a record of A.I successes, and bragging rights for the humans who teach their A.I. neat tricks.

Similar to how bug bounties work now, instead of lots of people using lots of robots in private, you would have more people using robots in public to solve problems in public. This is similar to how open source works in general, but right now the financial incentive to keep A.I honest is not present. An intent bounty board would be the start of a structure of logging A.I activity, promoting A.I successes, as well as letting people know what A.I is currently capable of doing.

It's like the Oscars or Nobel Prize for A.I, except it's year-round with cash prizes.

I believe this is the best way to put a tutu on the rhino.

Do you think it'll work?
https://archive.is/lCPxw
To add some nuance, I think the cartoon goes both ways, but unintentionally managed to offend Indian sensibilities by portraying them that way.

I think one way to look at it is... The underdog Indians managing to rub shoulders with the likes of NASA and ESA at a fraction of the latter's budget, which isn't wrong. ISRO's missions are typically about two orders of magnitude cheaper than NASA's, while still being very productive.

Somehow threads about India just devolve into ridiculous mudslinging like no other. White people clinging to tired old stereotypes. Indians are half to blame too, being over-sensitive and oddly conservative.
Dropbox is an American company. Most hackers does not trust American hosting companies because of the NSA leaks confirming everyones paranoia. I wouldn't trust Dropbox with a ten foot pole.
I don't think comparing 3d printing and 2d printing is fair. Not the least because if the 3d printing industry completely halts progress it'll be meet by the crashing regression of the 2d printing industry in about six months.
Because taking up more land is cheaper than building up thanks in large part to the various rules and regulations of municipalities and states. And in many places a parking garage is valued and taxed as a structure whereas a parking lot isn't. Prefab concrete parking garages are a thing the same way that prefab steel warehouse buildings are. The structure isn't that expensive over the life of the structure. It's the latent cost of building and owning a structure that pushes the economics in favor of parking lots.

Ironically in a "you are the problem" sort of way, the demographics doing most of the complaining about parking lots and a general lack of density are the same demographics who are in favor of fine grained management and regulation of what people do on their land that causes this situation. You reap what you sow.
I cannot have such BS any more. So I deployed something on my home server and exposed it on a port just above 10000. And I tried to access it with Chrome, and it was blocked coz it on an unusual port!! So obviously one of them had to go. So Chrome went away from my network.
Unrelated to "Dogme 95", but a couple of low-budget films I enjoyed, were high quality, and did well in reviews. "Beasts of no Nation" was made for $6M, but it barely avoided losing money. "Upgrade" had a budget of $3M, and fared a little better with a $17M box office draw.
I've always felt like software is falling prey to something akin to Jevon's paradox[1]. We have more compute available, so we can be less optimised with our code and do more stuff, so we write bad code that tries to do too much (or some kind of causal chain like this) and we're slower than if our hardware had never improved.

The only space free from this appears to be videogames. Gamers regularly complain about "low" framerates that'd put a lot of (at least Windows-based) text renderers to shame. A load screen that you notice is points docked in the review score. I can open Steam, launch CS:GO and get into a game before Teams has finished its morning coffee.

What????
1) It was Schröder (not Merkelh that started this entire gas thing with Russia (getting paid by Gazprom still)
2) Merkel decided in a completely irrational overnight move to just phase out nuclear. There was no strategy, just a personal preference by her ideological conviction
Energy in Germany has been significantly more expensive than in the rest of Europe for probably a solid decade now… The big challenge from what I see is somehow managing to “balance the ingestion of renewable energy which is very unpredictable and random” and the “actual need” which is rather constantly high and predictable.
Same here. When I try to force it I even get anxiety symptoms (sweating etc.)

Sure 100% solar powered homes might be harder to do in the colder hemispheres but in many parts of the world it is already possible.
During spring, summer and autumn you can cover most of your electricity with a 3kW solar panel set up. Shift your dishwasher, washing machine and dryer to mid day, charge devices when the sun shines etc.
Families in poorer countries are likely on a much smaller carbon footprint and it is therefore easier to replace their energy needs with solar or solar thermal.
Small, medium as well as large scale island grids are already possible and in operation. https://reneweconomy.com.au/wa-off-grid-school-runs-100-on-s...

For colder climates the solar alone will not cut it, insulated homes, heat pumps and solar can however.
The took over support for the Samsung printer I have, and guess what: that support is also practically non-existent. The software they offer is out of date, incomplete, whatever. There are messages on the forum from hp staff that it's easy: install something else, then pick model M2020. Well, not only could I never ever have guessed that from their documentation, it also doesn't work. HP is a total embarrassment.

I love his series. I find him and his videos to be very approachable and enjoyable. I also appreciate his approach towards not over engineering things.
How do you compromise with people who use that as a way to take advantage of you and refuse compromise in return though? The result of 'let's live with them and treat their actions as good faith' has consistently been 'we get screwed'. What do you propose?
I have the Brother HL-L2305W referenced[0] in the article. After I purchased it, I added it to the Wifi network and it showed up as a printer on my Linux machine. Stays mostly turned-off except when I need to print at which point I turn it on, it connects seamlessly, prints and I again turn it off. My wife can print to it from her iPhone and she is not a tech savvy person. All the high praise about Brother's monochrome laser printers are well deserved.
