Ender's Game is fairly weak on the aliens front. They make no direct appearances until the very end of the book.

The (unrelated) aliens in the sequel Speaker for the Dead are considerably more interesting. I wouldn't recommend any of the other sequels/prequels/sidequels, though.
You can have a strong core and still have bad posture.

Being more aware helps you correct it. Mirrors are a great way to do that. Not honestly sure how your bicep comparison is relevant, but people look in front of mirrors to correct form for their bicep curls too.
There are absolutely solutions that do exactly that client side (just mapping the colors from the hard-to-tell-apart hues to other hues depending on which type of color blindness).

For instance, in Mac OS, under Accessibility there are 'Color Filters' with a dropdown for presets for a few common types of colorblindness including red/green. It is a filter that is applied systemwide at the graphic output level.

I think this is the proper approach (device-level color filtering) versus each app attempting to serve all, as that could lead to double-filtering.
Two things: first they’re a bank, in the Uk, it looks terrible to not have a banking license and that’d kill their IPO price. Second, there are limitations on customer deposits and the services they can provide because they aren’t a bank, for example they aren’t currently Uk equivalent of FDIC insured. There’s basically an assumption that their banking license will massively help both their growth and their value per customer.

I've used a similar approach to save debug images in video stream processing system that basically scans vehicles going near the camera. Since the length and speed of vehicles is varying, memory is constrained, and keeping too many images of each vehicles isn't useful, a progressively decimated buffer (along with images of entry and exit events) worked well.
Presumably, the base sales would be for replacement. You don't need increasing sales to handle replacement rate. I'd expect ~40% more device sales roughly means 40% more devices on planes, which means ~40% more device incidents on planes.

Though, that's not to say it's not worrying, just that it's not exactly a surprising increase.
When I worked as a team lead, my main concern was whether were hitting our goals as a team, and ensuring every member of the team was aligned and ready to do their job. I had a colleague during lockdown who was just not getting anything done. We'd have calls to ensure he understood his task and knew what to do. But nothing was getting done. It'd take him days to reply to a message. I'll never know for sure, but I suspect he was working another job at the same time. He didn't last long in the company.

There are two separate things - incentives for the manufacturer, and tax credits for the consumer.

The manufacturer incentives apply regardless. For consumers, if they want a Model X or S, all they have to do is register it as a commercial vehicle and they get a $7500 tax credit. This is what consumers already do to buy a Chevrolet Suburban or G Wagon.
> CCRU does not, has not, and will never exist.

CCRU Writings 1997-2003 was/is a great book that blends reality with weird smart referential alternate realities. Short stories & blurbs that build on one another. Social commentary mixes with quirky cyber-quasi-occultism.

I don't have a ton of other good CCRU materials that I got experience with, but buying CCRU was a good pick. Fun then, and a book I do in fact come back to now & again to be amused by.

It was/is great having such literary/conceptual artifacts from before the onset of There Is No Alternative really set in like it has today, before we settled so deeply into this groove of capitalism molding tech so thoroughly to it's ends.

Related ish, I'd put it off as not my style but I did finally pick up Charlie Stross's Laundry Files saga a couple years back, after being shockingly delighted with his Empire Games which I'd initially thought would be not my style. Laundry Files is a great spy thriller, cross computer geek, cross occult book, that reminded me of a more palatable & long form CCRU. If case anyone is interested in some other pretty solid fun very referential out there reads. That ability to get from here, from reality we have, to these fun nearby thought spaces is so delightful.

Good call! For me, coffee is simply too strong, but has a very nice flavor, so half caf is the best of both worlds.

And swiss water has no solvents other than water - so I'm feeling quite safe about it.

I'd be more worried about mold in coffee - which is not investigsted a lot and thus it's very difficult to know if there is some in your coffee, and it could potentially be very dangerous - but that's another subject
For systems where there's a real fear of physical compromise, you'd think there would be more physical mitigations.

The crypto stuff is nice, but I feel like it's difficult to package in a way that non-technical audiences will understand it and not shoot their foot off somehow.

I feel like PCs where the storage can be pulled like a video game cartridge would reduce the threat surface, while avoiding a lot of the crypto risk (lost keys, broken TPMs)
I would imagine that the proliferation of cheap devices using lithium batteries also contributes to the issue somewhat. While anything with a lithium-ion battery is susceptible (as seen with the exploding Samsung Note debacle), bargain bin electronics are almost certainly not selecting batteries to as high of a standard as something with better profit margins, like an ultrabook or flagship phone.

Cheap chargers also likely contribute. There's limits to how much charger misbehavior even the best batteries can tolerate and some of the charger bricks sold on Amazon, in gas stations, etc are horrifyingly bad.
I doubt anyone seriously disputes that individual (or small group) tutors combined with whatever form of socialization is probably optimal. But that's pretty impractical economically for the population as a whole. I had some of that in grad school and it was pretty great but I'm pretty sure not really scalable.

Well, we can’t control how much heat there is (though we have found we can increase the average pretty effectively!) but we do have ways to control where it is.

E.g., in our house we just got heat pump water heaters that are basically air conditioners that pump heat from the room (which the furnace puts its waste heat into, btw) into the water tank instead of venting it outside.
If your comment was aimed on a 'Black Mirror' irony level, you need to hone your delivery. Be pithier.
Most of your points have been addressed, but.

Vehicle lead acid batteries have a >99% recycling rate. The high rate is mostly due to economic reasons but partly due to regulatory ones. EV batteries will get reused or recycled.

As for range in the winter, on our heart pump equipped Model Y we see a 20% range reduction in the winter at -20C. No big deal. On the other hand we're never sure our gasoline vehicle will start without a boost. Much more annoying.

This is just a farming exercise for existing primes to either take you on and absorb you or steal your IP and crush you.

So many of the small business and other protected status contracts end up with shell companies and do a dis-service to the intent of the programs.

Where appropriate, yea. It’s the same as any other resource, like a calculator. If the assignment isn’t about calculating numbers, fine, use a calculator. But if the whole point is to make sure you can do long division, then no calculator allowed.

Also asset streaming has been a thing for like 20 years now in gaming, it's not really a new thing. Nanite's big thing is that it gets you perfect LODs without having to pre-create them and manually tweak them (eg. how far away does the LOD transition happen, what's the lowest LOD before it disappears, etc)

At the moment I have preferred to have ChatGPT output code and run that code

For example, I asked ChatGPT to solve a function, in which is suggested to use Newton's method and provided some Python to do so

This is all stuff I learnt early in my undergrad (and quickly forgot).

That's an expected value calculation.

It breaks down into three parts:

1. The wager per round ($10). This is, in the game being simulated, the amount won or lost based on the game's outcome.

2. The number of rounds (10000).

3. The probability of winning minus probability of losing.

Forgetting the number of rounds for a moment, the way to calculate the expected value of a single wager like this is:

E[X] = x1*p1 + x2*p2 + ... + xn*pn

Where each `xN` is the value (amount won or amount lost since we're talking about wagers) of an event and `pN` is the probability of that event. In this case there is an 18/37 chance of winning and 19/37 chance of losing. The value of winning is +10 and the cost of losing is -10. So the expected value of a $10 wager ends up being:

10 * 18/37 - 10 * 19/37

Multiply that by 10,000 for the number of rounds played and you get the expected value of a series of games.
I don't know, I think posture is pretty common sense. It is especially more eye opening when you're more aware of your posture, correct it regularly, and magically your chronic back pain and regular headaches suddenly disappear.

Hi,
My son has taken a shine to this after I sent him the link (he's up to 100 cards now...). Online, drafting, and the most important bit - user created content (he'd have been as happy with a traditional editor for the cards rules, but has had fun trying to convince the parser to do his bidding).

The Discord link is timing out for me. Hopefully you don't mind a brain dump here.

He had one feature request - the ability to restrict the number of Rare/Uncommon cards to be included in a deck built off of a given set (if that makes any sense).

Also, we hit a few bugs.
One time we had a major state desync - on one player one team was entirely wiped out with a given card play, whereas on the other it had no/limited effect. From that point, the games diverged in their entirety - including the log. It was only because we were sat next to each other we even knew.

Some form of hashing of the engine state and comparisons every play could ensure that at least a desync identified (which would hopefully lead to a fix).

Another time, the 'End Turn' button was unresponsive for one player, and we instead had to force a draw.

He had an issue with a card he created that read "when you draw a card, ...", which was triggering when the opponent drew too.

The final thing is more of an irritation, which is the 'Activation' overlay can make it hard to move/attack to the hex immediately to the right.

Otherwise, great game and it's obviously a labour of love. Jist hope for a bit more interest and player activity.

> Having a free society is not the same as having only capitalism decide where resources should be allocated.

Huh? Capitalism is literally a state of economic freedom. People accumulate capital via consensual economic transactions, then decide what to do with it (stuff like funding Wikipedia!). How is this contrary to a free society?
What is often overlooked is the philanthropic and entrepreneurial impact that Andrew Viterbi had in this world.

In 2004, he donated $52 million to University of Southern California (USC) School of Engineering:

This is the most useful comment so far. I tend to agree. However, I still think that most frontend project are perfectly fine with mostly HTML + CSS and a tiny bit of JS.
Fun fact, Golay codes are the only perfect code outside of Hamming codes. Perfect codes are interesting in that the Hamming bound becomes an equality, effectively saying that the distance between all valid codewords is exactly the minimum distance "d".

Predicting things is hard. I was standing on West Street in lower Manhattan looking up at the World Trade Center on fire, on a cell phone with my mother, and said “well it doesn’t look like it’s going to fall down or anything.”

Encouraging rich people to spend, and using that money to better support poor and working class people is a great idea.
I agree that saying that "it is magic and nobody knows how" is not a good explanation for anything. But saying "we understand the substrate so we are done" is no better.

There's a term for that that's been used for decades: pleather, or plastic leather.

My mom, who currently has dementia, knew that she had a family history of Alzheimer's Disease, so she was able to plan her future. She took out long term care insurance twenty years ago, invested her money wisely while she was still in full control, and did a good job of estate planning and documenting most of her affairs. She did probably 90% of everything right.

The long term care insurance especially has been a godsend, since her memory care facility costs almost $8,000 a month. Even if she exhausts that benefit before she passes, we will have benefitted from several years of coverage for those payments.

Still, I face this Mother's Day in the U.S. with a mom who is mostly no longer there.
Every few years I get a call from a fudraiser guy with the "California Police and Firemen Association" or similar. This man has a wonderful, celebrity-class, cop-sounding voice.

I've never liked this guy repeatedly calling me, because every time I've always asked to be removed from the list.

So this past year I was a mild jerk to him, yanking him around a bit and wasting time, and he immediately descended and transformed into a huge asshole and began berating and verbally abusing me before abruptly hanging up.

Maybe now he'll scrub me?

Actually, for raw speed, rsync is much faster than any of the tools you mentioned (see e.g., https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/4190). I really like a lightweight solution, where I do not even need any tool to restore backups. The tools you mentioned are great though.

According to [1] the growth in smart phone market penetration was closer to 15-20% than 40% but definitely non-negligible over that time period. I assume smartphones are significantly likelier to have a battery accident than dumb cellphones due to the higher power requirements. On the other hand, iPads are definitely not that wide spread - that number is also far more strongly correlated.

I'll admit I should have been more precise - I actually checked stats for several other types of devices. Given all the new wireless headphones like Airpods, all the growth in vape usage (especially cannabis vapes, which became legal and a TSA nothingburger in many states around that time), and so on, I think the burden of proof is on showing that the increase in fire exceeds the growth in number of devices. Based on personal experience, most vapes are very easy to overheat because the on button sticks out on many devices and it's the kind of thing a smoker would have in carry on.

Edit: Just realized I got a separate smart phone for work in that time period.

This is the big thing all the introverted self-learners miss about college. They reduce it to a number of CS classes they’d like to take, see the material on YouTube, then conclude that the college experience can be reduced to viewing some YouTube videos.

I have a similar issue with my airpod pros. I believe it is a microphone issue, especially since they work in non-noise cancelling mode just fine.
I would argue the FFT algorithm is much more important in communication systems than the Viterbi algorithm. There are plenty of powerful Forward Error Correction schemes that do not use Convolutional codes (and thus cannot use Viterbi algorithms). However, every single system with a reasonably long channel equalizer makes use of a real time FFT algorithm.

It would not be trivial to do.

GDDR achieves higher speeds than normal DDR mainly by specifying much tighter tolerances on the electrical interface, and using wider interface to the memory chips. This means that using commodity GDDR (which is the only fast DRAM that will be reasonably cheap), you have fairly strict limitations on the maximum amount of RAM your can use with the same GPUs that are manufactured for consumer use. (Typically, at most 4x difference between the lowest-end reasonable configuration and the highest-end one, 2x from higher density modules and 2x from using clamshell memory configuration, although often you only have one type of module for a new memory interface generation.)

If the product requires either a new memory or GPU die configuration, it's cost will be very high.

The only type of memory that can support very different VRAM sizes for an efficiently utilized bus of the same size is HBM, and so far that is limited to the very high end.
