I have a friend who I met in college who got his PhD working under Zig, which is how people who knew Engelmann called him. And this friend gave me a copy of his book "How to teach your child to read in 100 lessons" and I used it to teach my own kids.

It is right next to the SHAWSA Water Filtration Plant which extracts water from Lake Michigan and couldn’t filter out any significant discharge.

The need to place nuclear near significant sources of water doesn’t mean that every large body of water is a good location.
Tesla has delivered more than enough, but people here will never be happy. Just like Bitcoin, I guarantee you the day it hits 100k people here will still be complaining about it
You've seen the scope output for bounces: the signal will often go completely from one extreme to the other, as well as a little bit of noise just after a change. A switch might bounce a hundred times, rail to rail, taking 5ms or more to settle. A typical switch probably only bounces 1-10 times over 1-2ms, but unless you plan to test every switch and throw out the worst ones you should plan for the worst.

A capacitor resists change in voltage. Where a switch's change on the oscilloscope usually looks like a steep cliff, adding a capacitor will introduce a curve as the voltage drops. The size of the curve depends on both the capacitance _and_ the resistance between ground and the capacitor: simply adding a capacitor won't give you much of a curve because there'll be very little resistance. You also need to add a resistor to make an RC network.

To handle the worst of switches you want an RC value somewhere around 10ms. What you choose for R and C depends on any other constraints you might have, like power consumption or capacitor size.

Because the RC network slows the transition time a lot you need a Schmitt trigger to convert the slowly curving voltage change into a nice sharp input signal change without allowing noise to ruin everything.

There are other ways to deal with bounces in hardware, too: you can convert the switch's on/off signal into a pulse using a monostable circuit (eg, a 555), you can use a dedicated debounce IC, you can use a flip flop with a SPDT switch, you could blow $50 on a Hall effect switch and use an ADC.

Or you can deal with it in software, which is popular because it's typically easier to find space in a ROM than it is to find space for discrete components on a PCB.

I'd be curious if someone loaded these into http://github.com/graphistry/pygraphistry and tried something like overlaying a GNN anomaly detection over the base visuals. Both parts are automated & GPU accelerated, so can probably handle some decently sized projects!
the ads in the start and weather widget bothered me enough to switch to Linux for my desktop. I mostly use Windows to play games and Proton/Steam has gotten good enough that a lot of games I play now work on Linux.

The only place I still use Windows is my laptop since battery management isn't as great... but if it gets better I'm hoping over to Linux as well there.

The growth is here. Whether the models become openly accessible is immaterial to that fact - closing them up and burying them in regulation won't do anything to slow the progress down; it will just slow progress down for the likes of you and I.

The paths I see, in broad strokes:

- models become open and easy to hack on. We all lose our jobs. But we can now find new jobs using these models to do similar work.

- models stay closed and only get developed by BigCo. We all lose our jobs. Remediation for this development may or may not happen and who knows what it will look like.

The core difference I think you and I are dancing around here is a belief in our collective ability to hit the brakes on progress. I understand the desire to do so, but you won't stop a river by putting a rock in the middle and I think this is a situation with that level of momentum.

when I run windows it's because I want to run a specific program on windows, If I wanted to use the os I would pick an os I enjoy using(for me this is openbsd). For most people it is this way, very few people go "Oh boy I get to use the os to day" they just want to use a specific program. unfortunately microsoft does not sell a "windows just to run programs" version. even worse they feel they have to put effort into "making people want to use windows / monitizing the enormous pool of people running windows" so there is this race to the bottom in stupid pointless feature cruft accumulation.

The fact that you are trying to compare a working pilot plant with nuclear fusion shows your lack of seriousness.
Interesting piece of writing that asks some important questions about creative nonfiction, but then takes a right turn and ventures off into the weeds of I.Q., creative qualification and other socio-political musings.

With respect to the first part of the article, I believe it is important to point out that even what we believe are facts are instead just impressions.

Our minds are our memories are not perfect. (Even sensors like cameras can’t fully record the reality of a moment.) We only get rough interpretations.

Storytellers, writers and journalists can try to explain an event/concept/position without embellishment, or with plenty of embellishment.

Either way, it’s still just a story. The creativity is for the entertainment of the reader.
It’s easiest to put it near the largest fresh water system in the world. It’s also easiest to use coal and oil. But are these the best options overall?

I'm in healthcare, and top management, so we don't have a huge IT staff. I transitioned from purely technical work about 8 years ago to avoid the age-ism trap for non-management people. But in general, 30 years ago PCs were still relatively rare as compared to today, and there's a LOT more to the IT industry than being a developer in Silicon Valley. I've met plenty of 50 and 60+ year olds in IT, and a few years ago I had to tap on an 70 year old for some ancient AIX knowledge.
That's when it gets dangerous, when we try to really recreate animal (human) characteristics in digital form. Combining that with likely 1000-1000000 X increases in performance leads to these superintelligent digital creatures taking over.

Instead, we can focus on the Star Trek computer type stuff that we have with GPT and be incredibly careful about deploying those more animal/humanlike models and higher performance compute. Especially if we deliberately create the next species in digital form, make it 100X or 10000X faster thinking/smarter than us, and then enslave it, that is not only totally stupid but also proven unnecessary by the generality the latest AI models.

Getting an account as a US citizen in the EU used to be easier, but the US put in place onerous reporting requirements that made US citizens mostly unwelcome unless you have a lot of money. Very frustrating to have a bank close your accounts because dealing with the US reporting is too much of a hassle.
If you look at TCO, and include opportunity cost for those on-prem services where you might be caught behind the supply chain eight ball for weeks or months, then I think you're right. But you have to look at all sources of costs on both sides.

And it's certainly possible to configure any cloud provider in a way where it is much more expensive than a corresponding on-prem solution, and it's also possible to do the reverse.

Where things get interesting is where you compare all sources of costs on both sides, and both sides are as cost optimized as you can feasibly make them. Then you are a rare unicorn indeed.

Oh come on! It's not rocket science, just encrypt and hmac. My point was mentioning that best practicr tip for example will help. People still use aes-ecb because they don't know failing with aes-cbc is better.

> When you need to roll your own crypto (custom transports, RSA combos for compatibility reasons) you'll just have to get an expert to do that

If someone is in a position where they're choosing ciphers and they're not an expert, chances are they won't get funds to hire an expert and they can't tell their boss or customer they can't do it. Help people not shoot their own foot off is all I am saying.

I agree with the audience part. The average dev also does not work in silicon valley or in a FAANG. They work in bigcorp,consulting or government where you do your best with unreasonable requirements and little cash to spare for third party experts.

This is a different use case. Why? Because you make a conscious decision to donate your work. The models which are used for image generating (Midjourney, Stable Diffusion) are full of scraped data without consent from the authors.

From this point of view, Adobe Firefly is obviously ahead:

"The current Firefly generative AI model is trained on a dataset of Adobe Stock, along with openly licensed work and public domain content where copyright has expired.

As Firefly evolves, Adobe is exploring ways for creators to be able to train the machine learning model with their own assets, so they can generate content that matches their unique style, branding, and design language without the influence of other creators’ content. Adobe will continue to listen to and work with the creative community to address future developments to the Firefly training models."

So the only way forward to have an ownership of your product is to train your own models over your own data.
It has to do with which syllable is stressed. The last stressed syllable in the word (or in the line of poetry), and everything after it, has to be the same. So the "-eacher" in "teacher" and "reacher" are identical, and it's a good rhyme. To rhyme with "hex", the word has to end in "-ex." You can fudge the consonants after the stressed vowel just a bit, and get something that's not quite a rhyme, but good enough for, say, a HN comment. But you can't fudge the stressed vowel at all.
My issue with ff is that when you load a tab, it's status is denoted by a horizontal bar moving from left to right which distracts me. It's beyond me why they don't use a rotating loop like the rest of civilisation. It's an incredibly minor thing, but it's the main reason i stick to chrome. A similarly trivial feature makes me dislike edge.
Solid numbers of what? Here we're talking about numbers on short-term effects only, with zero data on long-term effects.

I'd claim that people who are reeds in the wind when there's a short-term gain available do not in fact have good values. "Take the money and run" is a value for sure, and it's common enough. But I'd have a hard time calling it good.
There is basically Windows Home, Pro and Pro for Workstations. There's also Enterprise and Education, but those seems to be the same as Pro for Workstations, just distributed differently.

Windows 11 Pro is about $150 from official channels, or $30 for a key from a reseller, and the key can just upgrade your Windows Home install. It doesn't automatically fix everything, but it gives you the group policy editor which lets you permanently turn lots of things off. It also generally treats you more like a responsible adult, e.g. giving you more control over windows updates.

The US government does not remove instances of incitement to violence, fraud, or slander, and most intellectual property law is probably unconstitutional but that's a different issue.
If everyone who's generating the numbers can query a global centralized database, why would they be random in the first place? Isn't the whole point of a system like uuid (which this seems to be leaning in the general direction of) to avoid that sort of thing being necessary?
This applies to Plausable as well as to BeamAnalytics: You claim that the data of your users "belongs to them" and only to them.

Question: "How can any of your users verify that you're not selling their data?"

There's no way other than believing your word. And you have access to the DB. Therefore, given that your claims and the ones of Plausable, can't actually be verified by their users, any time, how is your service different from Google Analytics than? At least with Google Analytics one knows that there's no privacy.

In your case the user doesn't know it with certanty because he can't verify it, but he assumes that everything is performed correctly and privacy-friendly -- by taking your, and the owners of Plausible, word for it. It's based mostly on believe, that is.
The higher rate is a customer acquisition cost. But perhaps you can say Apple is contributing to the expense whereas for Marcus they don't.
I wonder how much it would take to get explorer.exe and the rest of the UI (userland) from Win2k running on a newer version of Windows. Backwards-compatibility has been MS' strong point for a long time, and the majority of other applications from the 2k era would probably be fine on Win11 too.

> How much do school districts in California spend (as a percentage of total budget) on staffers who do not teach children directly?

Probably over half.

I downloaded the 2020 data for SFUSD from https://transparentcalifornia.com/. According to those data, only 45% of SFUSD's spend on pay & benefits goes to people whose job category contains the string 'eacher'.

Another 4.5% do to people whose job title contains the string 'incipal'.
The first one of these I looked at turned out to be in a fishing town/village in the very west of Japan near Hirado City, Nagasaki Pref a US$20k 2700 sq ft "old folks home" that appears livable as is from the pictures and is comparable in many ways to Salcombe, Devon, UK where I happened to grow up and which is now one of the most expensive places in the UK. I can easily see becoming a Google Translate hermit in a place like that.
>have any causal relationship

nope given that nuclear has been a negligible part of the German energy mix for a long time now. (https://www.cleanenergywire.org/sites/default/files/styles/g...)

According to the article where I guess that headline came from E.ON even says that the reason is that they cushioned prices last year during the height of the energy crisis and that this is higher prices from wholesale markets from last year coming through.
Case studies of OpenSSH vulnerabilities are fairly limited, iirc there are a few ssh engines with fairly frequent issues.

Safety in numbers is probably a better option than security through obscurity in this case.
I agree that when you have a choice it should be done as you said. I am not even a developer and I've been in situations where aes-gcm or poly1305 (or ed25519 and other popular curves) were availabe. Sometimes it is b.s. internal politics, other times it is third parties that can "only" use a certain set of tools or dependencies and it is either come up with something custom or lose the deal/contract.
I suspect if you were to think a bit, you could come up with some ideas yourself. If you're really stuck, let me know what you've got so far and I'll fill in the rest.
That is an alternative procedure, but it doesn’t seem (?) to provide any advantages over the randomized in a urn procedure, and it also doesn’t seem to remove the centralization problem.
I'm pro nuclear, but it's also the only power generation system we have where the risk remains long after the power is generated. Calling nuclear safe seems unfair, given many millenias of time it's byproducts will have to be dealt with across.

I'm a big fan of Fidelity's cash management account (CMA), mostly because I'm lazy and it strikes a good balance for me. https://www.fidelity.com/cash-management/faqs-cash-managemen...

+ Excellent wire and ACH support

+ Ability to invest in money market, treasury, or bonds directly from the account. And able to get someone on the phone to schedule recurring actions (e.g. ladders)

+ Decent "checking"-like features (ATM cash withdrawal with fee reimbursement, autopay, check deposit)

Essentially the only things it can't do are (1) Zelle & (2) deposit cash.

If those aren't needs you have, don't think there's a better solution with less effort.

To elaborate:

There are about 8 * 10^9 people, or nearly 10^10.

So, if you allocate numbers sequentially with a central authority, 10 digits would be enough.

The birthday paradox says that probability of collision with random identifiers becomes very big (a half or so) as soon as the number of instances approaches the square root of the number of available identifiers. In other words, if we used 20 digits, the birthday paradox rule of thumb would predict a probability of collision of around a half. (That is borne out by Lemire's table, which states 27%, which is close enough given the approximations here).

The solution proposed here is to use at least 30 digits; I wonder whether that is a good rule of thumb in general: to avoid collisions with a N-bit hash function, do not hash more than 2^(N/3) elements.

At any rate, hashing the 2^33 humans with 128 bits is good enough (probability of collision < 1e-18), and with 256 bits definitely.
because some of these networks- not the one you read about in the news, are LE resistant (servers in Panama etc). One or 2 are so tight that we (LE) can see use of the network as a marker of organised crime but not the messages.
Reducing trust in such networks is a way of slowing their spread, use, infra and effectiveness. And that has been effective.

These networks are being used for drugs, fraud, sex trafficking. But almost nothing legal. Encrypted hardened phone with specialist app in one pocket, iPhone for facebook/instagram in the other

No. I don't always assume that just because a CEO makes a public statement they have internal data backing up the claim. Sometimes they do! Other times, they have data but are misinterpreting it or missing something, but it's impossible to tell if the data is just internal. Other times they're making a statement without data based on their personal beliefs. Other times, they don't even think the statement is true but are saying it for messaging, marketing, or communication reasons!

Like the previous commenter, I'd be much more confident an asymptote was reached if it was being demonstrated publicly.
