Still, not doing anything and then suddenly blowing up isn't a good reaction.
The tweens these days all want to be YouTube influencers when they grow up. I know a guy who's living that dream. He started his channel when in high school playing Steep Steep, snowboarding video game.

He went viral when he broke his collar bone attempting to pull a double backflip on skis in real life. Now he gets 1.5 million views for his more popular videos, and is paid to trot the globe to cover various winter sports events and to promote various ski resorts, and made about $120k over the last year. Not bad for a 23 year old who dropped out of university to do his YouTube channel.

It's funny, he's an articulate and well put together young man in real life, in stark contrast to his YouTube personality in which he acts like a bombastic doofus. He knows his audience and it's not me.
Lua is a great little starter language.

Almost any company by definition will be 'profit-obsessed'. The solution is smart regulation that prevents abuses.

Putting some kind of solar shield in L1 seems like a credible way to reduce energy input into the atmosphere. However, it creates a big “single point of failure”. And it’s difficult to believe we can build something of the size they propose (1.7 million sq km) in a timeframe that would make a significant difference to climate change without an Apollo or Manhattan-level of urgency.
If it's a small startup and you're experienced (or even not) contact the founding team directly and ask for a 30 minute chat with them. There's a good chance you'll be ignored but it tells you what you need to know about the company. If it's a three person company and an interesting person reaches out (and the need someone), guaranteed they'll talk to you unless they're some bureaucracy obsessed weirdos you don't want to get stuck with anyway.

GEOS will be available in WASM sooner or later (if it isn’t already, and if the licence works for you), rust-geo (under active development, I’m one of a few core contributors who work on it) is available compiled to WASM today (you can see a demo from a core contributor at rgis.app). Those are both vector only. For a more mature product that “only” leverages JS, placemark is the state of the art, and is amazing.

I’m not a raster or EO person so I can’t speak to GDAL’s availability, but I’m dubious that the browser is a good interface for that kind of work, or for a full GIS more generally.

The odd appeal of absurdly long YouTube videos that play nothing on purpose
I've found it very useful for showing curious people (especially kids) that there's a whole universe up there mostly unseen; you can whip it out and a minute or two later they can see the Milky Way in at least a little of its splendor. For those who show interest, I follow up with our 6" backyard telescope to see the Moon's mountains, Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings, and Mars's ice caps.

There's something different about experiencing it in person, even if the photos from a professional or a space telescope are empirically better.

Have you stayed in a hotel before? Because of favorable tax rules, hotels have turned into a cartel business. Every aspect of the hotel experience is worse than it was 10, 15 or 20 years ago. Because the top 5 hotel chains control more rooms than the rest of the industry, they are able to segment and spare every expense. Jumping brands doesn’t help because they ape each other. The default experience is no housekeeping, two towels, a price 30-50% more on an inflation adjusted basis, prepaid at checkin.

Since the 1970s, when modern conservative legal theory started to take root, the playbook for American business is tumor growth followed by cost cutting, even at expense of the business itself.

Medical networks and sub-entities are no different. Nursing homes are a preview of the future - they provide an operational money losing minimum viable service, but the owners are able to walk away with substantial returns on the real estate and overheads. In 10 years the default will be chat with ChatGPY, followed by a video call with a NP in India or the Philippines and wait 4 months to see a provider in person.
> Water fluoridation is beneficial for reducing and controlling tooth decay and promoting oral health across the lifespan. Evidence shows that water fluoridation prevents tooth decay by providing frequent and consistent contact with low levels of fluoride, ultimately reducing tooth decay by 25% in children and adults.

To the best of my knowledge, very few doubt what flouride does for tooth decay / oral health. What's in question is:

1) the unintended side effects

2) given the side effects does flouride warrant the risk?

3) all things considered, couldn't / shouldn't flouride be a choice?

I'm not taking sides - pro or con - I simply want to point out the broader context; at least as I understand it.

> in any case it was clearly being abused by troll hordes.

Citation needed. I've never seen any data published by the YouTube team that showed that downvotes were being "abused by troll hordes" to the point where this was such a large problem that it merited a site-wide removal of dislike counts.

With your amount of evidence (zero), I could just as easily claim that they removed the dislike counts purely because of the ratios of the YouTube Rewind videos.
Yesterday there was a post here on this and commenters that said "CCS" vs Tesla plug were scolded by others stating that there is no such thing as a CCS connector. Only CCS1 and CCS2.

This article completely ignores this and just says "European Version of CCS" leaving out the technical differences which are quite important especially for Europe where CCS2 is needed if you want 3 phase charging. Also the solving of the latching issue in the CCS2 vs the CCS1.

The Tesla plug is better than CCS1 but CCS2 is better (for Europe where every one has 3 phase power at home) than the Tesla plug in some ways.
All that’s happened is that traditionally hyper-regulated industries with high margins are now being eaten by capital. It was to be expected. Every time you create an arbitrage opportunity, someone will come to eat it. So when you create a pharma arbitrage opportunity, we’ll buy compounding pharmacies. When you create a housing arbitrage opportunity, we’ll buy houses. When you create a palliative care arbitrage opportunity, we’ll come for your hospices.

Up to you what you want to do, but if you create a regulatively protected job, that’s an arbitrage opportunity. And finance will come for it. You can try to use social power by complaining in the news, but money talks louder. The old world where you could gasp your way into holding on to your mega profitable business by trying to use shame as a shield is over.

I don’t have shame, you see, and no amount of online kicking and screaming and downvoting will change it. Not today. Not tomorrow. Shame has no currency.

Right, and I think that exposes a bit of an unconscious assumption that many people (or perhaps just me) probably have, namely that intelligence seems to accompany longevity, but that is clearly not always the case.

This might be the sort of thing that arrives too late but is still better than nothing.
Many antennas are designed for a given gain and polarization, and you get the impedance you get from the materials and geometry used. Almost all of them have a matching network at the entrance to the antenna, and usually one set up based on actual S-parameter measurements. If you're really fancy, you can get custom coax cables made to match your antenna at any arbitrary impedance, and then put a much better matching circuit in your rack instead of using one on the antenna.

High-speed digital signals haven't entirely settled on 50 ohm (100 ohm differential) impedance, though. SSTL, HSTL, and POD (used by different types of memory and high-speed DACs/ADCs) often use 35-40 ohm impedance instead of 50. It's also not uncommon to see drivers having lower impedance and receivers having higher impedance (eg having a 32 ohm driver and a 48 ohm receiver on a 40 ohm wire) because a little bit of reflection can actually help signal integrity here.

Long digital wires like twinax Ethernet are all 100 ohm differential signals, though, since reflection is not beneficial there at all.
What do you say when you get an 8-core Pi?

Hi, OctoPi!
Pretty much every facet of any business that deals with the elderly is an attempt to siphon off any wealth they have, and then any benefits they may qualify for, before they die. This includes healthcare, retirement communities, assisted living, nursing homes, hospice, AARP, long-term care insurace, all of it. Stay as far away as you can.
If you read further, at first they mostly talk about stacking, even though it has nothing to do with "AI", but then they suddenly mix it with synthetic ML techniques, which defeats the point. Confusing.

Nevertheless, you can do some proper astrophoto with smartphones without any AI, just like you would with any other camera. It won't be that good for obvious reasons, but it's possible and it will be better than using automated astrophoto modes in any app. Calibrate your lens and sensor, make a RAW stack with fixed exposure which is not too long, and some dark frames; use something like Sequator (or more sophisticated software) to process the stack.
What does “lack of knowledge” mean? If it means “any value is as plausible as any other as far as I know” there is a prior for that. Etc.
That’s one analysis.

Here’s another. Researchers reviewed shareholder value created by firms with high and low ESG ratings—scores provided by professional rating agencies. Their conclusion: “Telling firms that being socially responsible will deliver higher growth, profits and value is false advertising.” https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3557432

What they found is also apparent on a macro basis. Over the past five years, global ESG funds have underperformed the broader market by more than 250 basis points per year, an average 6.3% return compared with a 8.9% return.

Despite tens of trillions of ESG investments, investors haven’t done very well nor generated much good

You are talking past each other. I just see bad faith.
Agree. I came here to say that 0-based is more sensible, but as I thought through my arguments, I realised that I’m wrong. I do most of my coding in TS, Go and plpgsql. PL is 1 based, but the only time I find it frustrating is when translating between language boundaries. The rest of the time it’s just convention (eg, using <= instead of < in loops).

But I realised that I frequently want to get the last element in an array, and of course it’s easier with 1-based arrays.

So ultimately I don’t think it matters, except that most people are used to 0-based which can cause cognitive friction.

Google and Microsoft are political entities with their own political agendas that sometimes aren't aligned with profit making. Many of the activists in CoC dominated communities don't care the slightest bit about profit or even continued existence of their entity if it means they can enforce their brand of ideological purity. FAANG entities threatening to reduce or eliminate resource allocation to a project will for some be evidence of the capitalistic desire to control everything and will motivate the community to welcome the purge of the unclean from their community.

You know I've driven by a hospice center near my home and I'm always struck by how drab and boring it looks. It looks like a bank or a branch of the DMV. It's sad to me that that is the kind of value we place on our elders. Shouldn't they spend their last days in a place of beauty? Sculptures, gardens, a frog pond, anything. Not this boring grey cube. It's so sad.

> Many vaccines require careful cold storage, which can be difficult or even impossible in some parts of the world. The adhesive patch does not need to be refrigerated.

At first glance I was thinking that this is a solution in search of a problem since SC/IM injections can be taught to a layperson quite quickly, but the lack of cold storage requirements is hugely significant. In their study protocol[0] they estimate a 60% reduction in the cost of delivery!

This would also eliminate the risk of needle-stick injuries which is a nice bonus, particularly in nations with high rates of blood-borne diseases.

In case anyone else was looking for the ethics statement, it's not mentioned in the article but per the protocol this study was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and conducted in collaboration with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine under the purview of the joint Gambian and LSHTM ethics board.

Lua's 1-based indexing is largely inspired by Fortran. Lua's first users were Brazilian engineers in the early 90s, who were mostly experienced in Fortran.

Arguably, one-based indexing is more closed aligned to mathematics tradition.
That point about being easier to index the last element helps to iterate backwards over an array. With zero-based indexing, a backwards loop becomes for(i=N-1; i>=0; i--). Yuck.
I wouldn't say they made it about race. The main point of this post still the situation with JeanHeyd. However, a post like this is probably the best place to lay out some of the other issues concerning Rust's team, and representation is a very real issue! Of the people with bachelors+ degrees in computer science in the US, only 6% are black; under half of the population percentage of black Americans (https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsf23315/report/stem-workforce-wi..., Figure 6-3)

I don't think discussion like this hurts anyone. I wish diversity was the default and we wouldn't need to discuss these issues, but we don't live in that world.
I believe the fork was created in response to a draft of a new trademark policy released by the Rust Foundation which included some portions about where the word “rust” could be used, so they are going out of their way to avoid using the word in order to prove a point.

I’m super ambivalent about stories like this. Ignoring what the actual laws are for a moment - this is a game designed by the casinos to their advantage. If a player can figure out a way to get his or her own advantage, more power to them!

I think the casinos can and should of course be allowed to ban people from playing if they don’t want them to play (their house their rules, literally).

But criminal charges? That feels just wrong. Falls in the same bucket as companies who pursue criminal charges against white hat hackers / security researchers.
That's an interesting idea for a couple of reasons. One, it basically co-signs the idea that we should consider intervening if we believe it will make things "better" in some sense for them. Which is a big thing to agree to and carries big implications. It would imply that we actually should intervene in cases where we judge certain creatures to have "too much" cognitive capability for their own good. You could, for instance, consider alewives to be a canddidate, as they face impossibly long odds of living and high odds of being eaten alive, which probably sucks.

As it happens, I am perfectly comfortable with the idea of intervening to help animals in more cases than we currently do, and if I had to guess what one belief we have now that will be regarded as appalling by some future generation, I think this (letting nature run its course when it leads to animals suffering) could be one of them.
