I love Marr's more atmospheric work on this track, but Andy Rourke's riff is what's carrying the song.

Fantastic bassline.

> Europeans are sometimes ungrateful

Why exactly Europeans should be grateful?

US presence in Europe is something done to serve US purposes. Let's not pretend it sets up military bases abroad out of the goodness of their hearts, to protect the world or any such bullshit.
But it's not even strictly correct from a technical point of view. In Unicode, Hangul syllables can either be encoded directly as a single codepoint, or composed from multiple codepoints each representing a single jamo.

One could conceivably devise a Morse code encoding that simply uses the Unicode codepoints of the syllables. It would be a bad way to do it, but it's an option. Composition isn't a hard requirement for Hangul encodings.
> and next thing you know, your TV will be turning itself on to display ads when you're not even watching it.

Oh no no, that would be wasting advertiser money. Not fair. The opposite will happen - the TV will come equipped with a suite of sensors, including "structured light" cameras, which, combined with telemetry from the TV app on your phone, will allow the TV to power down the screen when no one is looking at it, and power down the speakers when no one is within earshot.

This will be advertised as eco-aware, planet-and-wallet-saving Intelligent Smart feature.
Apple Restricts Employee Use of ChatGPT, Joining Other Companies Wary of Leaks
I remember 15yrs ago or so Gentoo was pretty much our only choice modern enough that we could run on our mixed farm of Solaris(SPARC) and HP G5/G6 (x86).
We used those because they were cheap to buy used back then.

The overlay system was also a pretty big bonus. So easy to set up custom overlay and just pull freeradius from git, apply our custom patches and deploy it in the overlay. By deploy I mean archive the source code + some metadata files. Then boot up a machine and configure portage to know about our overlay and then just install the entire suite of apps we needed.

Things have evolved a lot I have to admit. These days you just have artifactory or ECR and just push and pull your custom container images from there and boom .. custom software up and running.
Co-working spaces have private booths and such for sensitive discussions. And ultimately because it's cheaper to go to a nearby co-working space on occasion than it is to move and live close to the office.

I'm full remote. Moving to the office would quite literally cost 1.5x in rent.
The vast majority of artists struggle to make even a living wage. Many successful artists only become financially so late in life, if ever, and were often in extreme poverty until that happened. Cormac McCarthy is a good example. Is it really fair to their estate to cease all protection of their works just because they died?

Is Apple going to relinquish control over patents and the products they protect when their inventors die?
> Some members of the community have been vocal in their disappointment with stock levels, some even stating that they are switching away from the Raspberry Pi. Upton believes that the anger is completely understandable and that it was the "single hardest decision I've ever had to make in my business career[.]" Upton continues "It's extremely hard to decide when you are a hobbyist, as I am, and you built this thing (Raspberry Pi) for hobbyists and education, to prioritize a different market (industrial customers).

> Upton then explains that OEM customers are mainly 3,000 boards per year, with between one to ten employees who build some specific product using the Raspberry Pi and cannot use an alternative SBC. If these customers do not have access to Raspberry Pi, then they are likely to "go to the wall". Upton then explains "So the real question, when people are saying, 'Should you do this prioritization call?' is 'Should I zero some of those customers or constrain them so heavily that they go out of business or take very serious damage?'. It didn't feel like the moral thing to do."

> Upton then explains that it felt like Raspberry Pi were doing the right thing, or hoped that community members would give them the benefit of the doubt. But Upton is aware that some members will be permanently disgruntled. Upton clarifies the misconceptions that Raspberry Pi are not making boards, they are, they are just not making enough. The second misconception being that Raspberry Pi are favoring large customers (Upton uses IBM as an example) over the communtiy, when in reality it is the smaller OEM customers who are the median customer base. Upton concludes by saying that they are looking forward to now making that judgment call anymore.

Okay, yeah, they just permanently lost me. The idea that they had to make this decision to save the jobs of all those people is ridiculous.
Because some people think that web UIs lack basic UI development principles and are a pain to use.

> AND I can pay them in BTC, further obscuring myself.

Which is not really impressive since BTC can be tracked. What is impressive, however, is you can just mail them cash with a piece of paper with your account number on it and they will add that money as credit on your account.
Thanks for checking!

> It turns out that it performs exactly the same number of comparisons as my lower_bound_overlap.

This is surprising, shouldn't the number of comparisons be identical to the standard implementation?
Yeah, but mostly Neos which loves all that L3 cache.
Yes, that was the joke. Only 2-3 years have passed and yet we have advanced so far past that point, a sign of the accelerating things that are yet to come up to full abstraction over the machine interaction: just say what you want to achieve, let the machine handle the details, from what dependencies to use to the file structure of the repository.

O, the ‘fun’ this would be once you layer another formatting library such as markdown or html on top of it, or combine it with Unicode’s mathematical alphanumerical symbols (https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D400.pdf)

Luckily, I don’t think the Unicode Consortium will ever accept something like this.

Unicode has lots of warts, but adding completely new ones isn’t popular with them.

This is an interview between Billy Carson and Steven Greer. Some of the stuff is pretty far out (including that the Naval Surface Warfare Center White Oak had a "chronovisor" that could see what happened at any point in space, at any time in the past, in the 1970s), but this guy ran the 2001 National Press Club "Disclosure Project"^0 that had lots of military and government whistleblowers testifying in front of the press about a UFO coverup (a multi-decade unacknowledged multi-special-access-project coverup of events and secret research about UFO (UAP), advanced technology and non-humans (ETs etc)). He definitely has credibility but a lot of what he says is hard to assess. Interesting tho.

A degree in architecture would give you that.

The combination of design work, history of buildings/art/cities, and socialization with people hyperfocused on their surroundings gives you superpower awareness of great environments at every scale, from silverware to regional planning. It makes travel a joy, no matter where, Paris or Poughkeepsie, it’s all fascinating.

On the downside, there are impossible odds you’ll ever get to actually create any of what you imagine, and the horrors of miserable design, a world full of McMansions and cheap junk, will crap all over your visions of paradise.
Track the exact number of people who saw your billboard/banner
Yep you saw it.

Track the exact number of people who saw your billboard/banner (or any form of outdoor marketing) using advanced facial recognition technology. All your info is synced to a particular database, so we can easily text you by following up on it.

We could do that through various means. Maybe ranking ads based on the time you spent looking at them—the one you spent the most time, the one you spent the average time, or the one you even went as far as looking multiple times, taking note or grabbing a picture.

It's something more like the ultimate way to gain hard data for outdoor marketing. And a way to constantly follow up as well.

Would be effective for major outdoor advertising companies.

What do y'all think?

We are talking about YouTube not TV. If you pay for YouTube Premium Google doesn't inject any ads. If the videos of the independent creator you chose to watch on YouTube includes sponsored content that is an issue to raise with the creator not Google.
> Compare that to Intel's Optane, the elusive PCM memory technology which finally arrived to take out NAND Flash. Sure, it was faster than Flash, but it was also massively more expensive. It wasn't worth it for most people. So Intel recently discontinued it.

Intel Optane is barely faster than flash — roughly 3x (for 4k random read) compared to the fastest Samsung SSD [1].

Optane was a failure because it failed to deliver the promised result. Intel would have never poured money into a new technology only three times faster than an existing technology. I recall initial promises were RAM-like speeds.

If Apple is able to spit out 200 million of these screens in a year, I have a very hard time imagining what ingredient could go into the production causing a greater per unit price than a Samsung display.

For me, this is the new Raspberry.

This machine could be useful especially for testing. While emulators have their merits, usually competitions use real hardware.

I am into the C64 and Amiga demo scene, and did some stuff on PC DOS during the 90th. Testing becomes more and more important.
Hello, thank you so much for the question!

We have plans to expand to the EU, potentially in the third quarter of 2023.

Building our current infrastructure in the EU is quite difficult, especially with the high electricity prices in EU data centers. However, we have been in discussions with various providers to establish an infrastructure that meets our requirements.

Additionally, we are actively working on a solution called Oblivus Edge Deployment, which aims to offer low-latency and high-bandwidth connectivity to EU users, even if the server is located in the US. We expect to release this technology in the next few weeks.

unlike with YouTube there's not even an option to pay to get rid of them.

That was one of the big selling points of cable TV when it started: because you were paying for the service, there was no need for commercials.

I remember when cable started adding channels with commercials. "Who's going to pay to watch that?" smarty pants people said.

Yet, here we are.

Just wait until ads start popping up on the paid YouTube service. The greed is just too strong.
Would also depend on the reason you want to reduce it.

Amiga 1200 is in the ballpark of Atari TT/Falcon and yes STing for IP, browsers etc. were available. But ST was same year as Amiga 1000 which also had just MC68000 without MMU, both Commodore engineers (who designed... Atari ST) and Atari engineers (who designed in HiToro Lorreline - than then became Amiga) had own external MMU.
Never thought https://xkcd.com/416/ would become relevant at some point, but here we are I guess...

For both nations sakes it's time they put the past behind them. Luckily the younger generations seem to be less inclined towards the old grudges than their predecessors.
It would probably just appear as faint noise, and then only if it happened to be at wavelengths that the sensors were tuned to detect, and which the machine's signal processors weren't trying to ignore, and if the image processing was designed to draw attention to it.
> I think the elephant in the room is that in many cases, the only way to improve accessibility beyond a fairly low point is to lower the utility.

They did this on Windows and on Android. It didn't work.
Try resizing a window on 4k screen in win 10. Or try to get rid of an error message in Android 10 (hint: there is no Ok or Cancel button and the error message obscures other UI elements).
> Even in the dense cities of Europe, public transportation << car transport. <..> and going directly to your destination.

I won't pretend that there are no exceptions to the pros for public transport. Cars are there for a reason too. Sometimes combo is the best [0].

From stereotypes - I'd agree that LA's public transport is orders of magnitude worse than travelling by car. Though it sounds like OC actually never been in a moderately dense European city. You often _cannot_ go directly to your destination with a car [1] and your travel will often take longer [2]. I probably won't be wrong by saying that it will be an order of magnitude more expensive too [3].

If it's a big city - driving will cost you greatly and you will lose time. If it's a moderate city - driving will cost you a lot and maybe it will take similar amount of time. I don't see where it is a win for cars here?

> convenience of putting a large amount of shopping / luggage in the back

How often do you go shopping/carry luggage to the amounts you can't carry? Personally once every week or two.

P.S. I know that there could be exceptions to the rule, but I had in mind travelling inside the cities for common scenarios as going to work to the city centre.

EDIT: Forgot to add. While going with public transport it's great time to catch up on latest podcasts, scroll news, even do minimal work if that's necessary (emails, chats, etc.) or you can just chill in general. Driving will need my 100% attention on the road and probably 80% of the time will make me super stressed and angry.

[0] Often businesses are based in big cities, but a lot of people live in the surrounding area. You drive to the city limit, leave car there (often rather cheap/free if you use public transport) and hop onto the express train that takes you to the city center very fast.

[1] Good luck to park your car in the centre of London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, etc. and if you could (e.g. office building has parking) - it will cost you dearly;

[2] Traffic is prioritised for public transport. Separate bus lanes, some streets don't even allow cars, priority for trams. Leaving your car is a nightmare too.

[3] Fuel, insurance, road tolls and/or car taxes, maintenance and car price itself, parking.
Linus Sebastian stepping down as Linus Tech Tips CEO in transition to new role
I don't really have an opinion, as I'm not familiar enough with the math and most of the people who are interested in explaining the math seem to be zealots who would say anything to support their particular view. I also think the debate is muddied because everyone has a different definition of "suburb" and the math is not the same depending on which version you're thinking of. There are also other factors to consider, like dense areas not having to pay for raising and educating the people who move into them but collecting their tax revenue.
Same, although my collection is a GBC/GBA and PSP all clear shelled and with IPS screens. Gadgets don't have clear shells anymore :( hopefully it'll come back, was kinda cyberpunky
Question is how are they notified about this? This would require Firehose access wouldn't it? I always wonder about these bots which IMMEDIATELY start reacting to you when you mention, say, crypto in a tweet. They clearly have push notifications for certain tweets, or stream access.
Way to get NVM working in CI/CD systems
I think they know this and may already be working on it, but if not, it’s likely they’ve done the math that the engineering investment to flesh out the iPad experience wouldn’t be worth the potential payout - people can always get a MacBook, as you rightly point out.
Why don't they make an industry rPi where they charge 10x what the consumer version costs? It sounds like there is a huge market for that.
Someone who orders only a couple a year is probably not loosing a lot of money from not being able to or having a harder time getting them. Even if it's commercial, 5/y is probably more in the realm of a few individually customized setups.

Whereas if you have a complete product designed around an SBC, respinning that is expensive, and a few hundred to a few thousand units is an ugly point where that leads to really high per-unit costs.

Whereas if you make millions of a thing, the overall development cost is similar, but spreads over many more units. (EDIT: you also probably aren't using an SBC, for similar-ish reasons: a customized board is saving you money per-unit, and millions is enough to amortize the up-front cost of that and still come out ahead)

So the economic perspective IMHO makes a lot of sense.
The article is not very good but multinationals have been significantly abusing free-trade agreements for decades.

These agreements are negotiated in secret with very little public oversight and parliaments usually can only say yes or no to the whole thing. If it’s the EU sometimes national parliaments have no say.

Companies lobby to put clauses mandating arbitration or classifying some laws as distortion of competition. Here the article focus on laws impacting big tech but the same could be said for basically any sector.
Is there a good tool for detailed monitoring like this that runs atop OpenWRT w/ minimal perf impact? It's something I've been meaning to revisit but it keeps getting put off, any recommendations?
If we ignore the biggest problem that VR has (power) then the second biggest problem VR has to deal with is heat dissipation.

> an M2 chip per eye

first, the definition on an M2 chip is very murky. There is a massive difference between an M2 targeted for small mobile, compared to a M2 found in a laptop.

A mobile can't sustain power draw of 5 watts for very long.

A headset can't sustain power draw of 10 watts for that long.

AAA graphics needs >40 watts of power. You can't have that next to your face without large amounts of cooling. Now, I'm assuming that Apple will offload graphics to phones/tablets/laptops in the style of oculus link. This solves a bunch of other problems like weight, size and battery life.

This is where Apple has the great advantage of course, not only does it control the entire vertical there, but they actually have a QA team, product metrics and leadership to make sure that the link will be seamless, easy and reliable. Meta will devote a team to it for a year, who will build a totally new system, sling it over the fence and move on to make sure that they get promotions. It never really worked of course, but it pushed the promotions metrics, and the leadership don't care about users, only moving a synthetic metric so they can be made VP of cables.

I digress.

However, for remote rendering to work reliably, you'll either need decent wifi(new time machine anyone?) or a decent quality cable. Wifi is a right shit to make work reliably at full throughput, if not impossible. so I'd assume cables would be the way forward (or some fancy 60gig networking stuff, but that seems unlikely)

> Micro LED for a big improvement on the screen door effect, brightness, quality

Nope. The screen is not actually the limiting factor, its the optics. The "barn door" and brightness is almost entirely down to the style of lenses.
Well, he alternated between not believing in the existence of (EM) radio waves at all and claiming that they were useless for transmitting messages, which isn't the same as the luminiferous ether idea.

Belief in a luminiferous ether (that fills all of space) is consistent with the idea that EM waves can travel through space (after all, we can see light coming from the Sun, etc.) and that radio waves could be used.

But Tesla seems to have argued that working "radio" technology was really electrical currents traveling through the ground (or through the ocean in the case of radio on ships), which then somehow induced "reception" in the radio equipment located above the currents.
There's an entire world outside USA and EU and for EU it's way cheaper (and simpler) to have the US dealing with that - an approach having its plusses and minuses of course, like any compromise.
A couple of notes:

1. You seem to be confusing "dataflow constraints" with "dataflow". Though related, they are not the same.

2. Yes, the implementation of Rx-style "FRP" (should have used the scare quotes to indicate I am referring to the common usage, not actual FRP as defined by Conal Elliott) has deviated. And has deviated before. This also happened with Lucid.

3. However, the question is which of the two is the unnecessary bit. As far as I can tell, what people actually want from this is "it should work like a spreadsheet", so dataflow constraints (also known as spreadsheet constraints). This is also how people understand when used practically. And of course dataflow is also where all this Rx stuff came from (see Messerschmitt's synchronous dataflow)

4. Yes, the synchronous dataflow languages Lustre and Esterel apparently can be and routinely are compiled to state machines. In fact, if I understood the papers correctly the synchronous dataflow languages are seen as a convenient way to specify state machines.

5. It would probably help if you added some links to your papers.
