I've actually thought about this myself, and have come to a couple of somewhat opposing conclusions:

* Crypto is uniquely capitalist and to some extent uniquely exploitative technology. Given how minimally used it appears to be for actually worthwhile things and how many people are getting rugpulled, just how much damage is actually being done, I can see why there are so many people who consider it to occupy its own separate tier of capitalist exploitation.

* As a tech worker, I hate thinking about how what I do is itself exploitative and capitalist, and the crypto ecosystem and community makes me feel better about it because at least I'm not that bad. I assume a lot of folks would never admit to feeling this way, but probably do on some level.
Well, no, because the latest version of a lot of software will still produce the warning since the developer refuses to pay the Apple extortion fee.
Thanks, that was a very nice read, and also great news. Maybe I will give it a try this year.
Binance is an exchange, and exchanges are not needed for cryptocurrency to work. They just make it easier to enter/exit the ecosystem.
I was lucky.

I imagine the folks who had money in Voyager when it melted down felt pretty scammed.

And now for folks in Binance...

There are also foss Linux phone OSs like postmarketOS, however hardware support and os are definitely in alpha or beta depending on the exact combination of hardware and software you use.

However if you don't mind tinkering with Linux they do the basic job.

FYI I wrote this from a PinePhone running postmarketOS (for Linux enthusiasts/tinkerers only, you've been warned)
I would look for a new job.

"What is the best DIY Air Filter?"

EDIT: I built one for my workshop but in my house with all the windows/doors closed it seems that I can get by with a much smaller filter, there's not that much smoke/particles that keep getting in IMO.
All software is buggy. By translating it more bugs will be introduced. So I try to avoid using any translated software.

I remember in Windows 95 (that's been a while) a little binary, probably ipconfig.exe was broken in the Finnish version we had on our home computer. I copied the binary from the English version we had at work and it worked.
ehh I didn’t think of that.

Still though, isn’t Minecraft streaming mostly single player? I assumed latency is the big concern with VMs.

Although I also have very little gaming experience, I can imagine for very good players even slight delays are widely noticeable.

but btw Minecraft is Java, right? So technically it’s on a VM anyway lol. (I know, not really the same, making a joke)
The americans were priced in.
Are you implying that for founders, female attractiveness is a poor signal for funding a startup, but male attractiveness is a strong signal?
WireGuard is a better, safer protocol than mTLS. If you can use WireGuard, that's what you should use (often you can't, because you don't want IP addressing between your components).
Ok, “Nah” noted. But for the past billions of years, the same resources have been “wasted” throughout the entire uncountable universe. Dismantling a few planets around a few stars to build Bitcoin mining infrastructure is not remotely problematic for a K3 civilization, for instance. The argument that because humanity is wasting it it’s bad seems faulty.
How things are viewed in Brazil might be one thing.

What you're saying is a certain perspective which seeks to look at it from first principles.

To the brutalist, the algorithm change is faster, and thats all that matters. A human didn't previously come up with the optimisation. You might as well say a computer sorting an algorithm is bullshit vs a person because the difference is just a bloated chip does it instead, and thats it.
I wonder how many solar panels does one need to stop depending on the grid, and on the fuel. The car would have to be parked next to the installation for a significant portion of the day though.
CoinMarketCap is owned by CZ. I’m not claiming anything malicious, just FYI.
I'm surprised that this kind of "emergency restraining order" seems to have taken days.
I got a copy of KEE with my Symbolics when I bought it in 2001 or so, but never had any idea what it was for or how to use it.
This is one of the (several) modern trends of computing that I dislike severely. There are lights for all kinds of nonsense but actually useful information, like Wifi status, disk activity, and even POWER ON/OFF are removed for some misdirected sense of minimalism or style.
I’m sorry to everyone impacted. Losing your job hurts in a way that’s hard to describe and harder to recover from. Good luck, and remember this isn’t your worth.
How come I don't see any older (Model S) Teslas on the road? What happened to all of them?
no worries. check out https://github1s.com, just s/github/github1s/ on any URL and you will get a read-only VSCode viewer of the repo source code. It also comes with partial support to jump between symbols.
It's really not though. The point was to get rich and if you can get rich quicker in a custodial pump-and-dump than in a self-custodied decentralized boiler room... you might as well.
There’s only been incremental improvements to products launched by Steve Jobs under Tim Cook. The only vastly new product category that I can recall they’ve launched under Tim is the Apple Vision Pro. If that becomes a runway success like the iPhone then we can credit it as something launched during Tim’s reign but otherwise he seems to be a good operator not an innovator. The value created is Tim riding on Steve’s success.
You're right. I'd been ignoring all the emails since I don't have anything of value there, but just checked.

In March they asked us to sign up with Binance who would take over the accounts.

In April they said the Binance thing was off.

Since April, they just keep sending chapter 11 restructuring projections.

Good riddance. Teens don't need to be told how born defective they are and for the low, low cost of 10% of all future income they too can be made right with imaginary sky daddy.
This paper lacks a lot of context if they didn't compare the results for an attractive vs unattractive male founder.
Exactly! My grandpapa drilled it into me at a very young age.

“Tortilla! Not your keys, not your coin! Eat your vegetables.”
To a lot of people the USP of crypto is spending a few bucks for a chance of making money without leaving home or doing anything. It’s like scratch off tickets that you can buy online.
Yes, but for regular people, like myself, being responsible for those keys is a pretty sizable burden. I didn't speculate on crypto because I hated centralized banking...
And then half of the websites are not working because they think you are a crawler/malicious user.
That seems… implausible.
>Well Tesla has significantly devalued as of late,

So have a lot of companies?
Tesla is down 7% in the last year. Up 12% from 2 years ago. Another example of unreasonable hyperbole.

> is facing tremendous regulatory scrutiny, just recently suffered a massive recall,

A massive recall fixed by over the air updates? Be real. Yet another example of hyperbole.

> and is likely never going to deliver on its key promise of achieving practicable self-driving car,

Okay this is speculation. What can I really say about this?

> and by all estimates from anyone else in the industry, is being completely unreasonable in going about it predominantly via computer-vision.

what does this have to do with elon's success? He's not allowed to fail sometimes?
Isn't that the same as saying "VR videogames"? Assuming we mean good quality, and not a minimum effort port.

I was really impressed by the Oculus "First Contact" (or whatever the one with the robot is called). I wonder by there are so few games that feel like it.

Beat Saber is pretty cool, but what killed it in my family is that you cannot see what the other person is seeing, so it's a bummer when you're not donning the headset. Unlike with a regular videogame, where you can watch the screen even if you're not playing.
I couldn't find anything in that article that points to the veracity of that claim except from Binance itself. How reliable is that? And if it's true why are they only coming out with it now, instead of before all of these went down?
This is far from the only way to work with Go, and is one of the worst, as it leads to uncontrolled dependency sprawl.

Don't forget the first buyer of Voyager was FTX... I rolled my eyes then bc I didn't trust SBF, and then when Binance came in after that I let out an audible sigh.
Seems like a good meter? I can't find any reliable indicator of which might be worth the trouble.

Look at "starcoder". It's not strictly open source, is has a condescending "responsible AI" license, but you could easily download it and run it on premise.
Inflation is typically (anecdotally?) impacted by: interest rates, QE, supply chain/shipping issues, port capacity, labour availability, material availability, globalisation, large regional disruption (the war on Ukraine), shifting climate, etc, and throw on top of this government policies in various directions in various countries.

All I know is while I can appreciate it, I'm so woefully inadequate to conceive a solution or even mitigation it's hilarious.
Enzo is a common name and I associate it with the founder of Ferrari.

It’ll have different associations to different people. Good reason to just add to it.

The Southern accent in the US did not emerge until after the Civil War, replacing a diverse array of local accents. It came from the Appalachian South which was settled by the Scotch-Irish and Germans, none of whom had English accents.

It wasn't a few bucks IMO. Probably 90% of the value came from scams. If the community had been clean since the beginning the whole "industry" would be a small fraction of the current size.
Thanks for explaining it. I don't care whether Lina is or is not a Marcan persona and don't think anyone should (which I try to propagate here).

But what a counter-productive reaction. I know it hurts (and that this is easy to say), but I believe that it would be much more effective to explicitly mention it and respectfully ask people to shut up rather than doing ... this.

Before they (at worst) casually disrespected him/Lina, now they largely at least mildly dislike them. I don't think much was gained here at all.

Incidentally, the same strong security measures have to be disabled to change the code templates that start every new Swift code file with a comment block containing the current date and the name of the person that created the file. I will never understand what led to this— it’s as if they created this before source control existed.
Maybe it’s an instinct to give resources to attractive people to increase the fitness of the group.

Or maybe investors know that attractive people have an advantage in business (for irrational reasons), so it’s rational for investors to value attractiveness.
> As we said, references are not types, but what if we declare something like struct S{ int& ref;}; would that be an object type?

yes it would be, because it "is not a function type, not a reference type, and not a void type" - it is a type named S.

this article is not very good - the lifetime of a named object in C++ begins when the object is defined, and ends when the name goes out of scope. pretty simple.

edit: and i should have added "and its constructor (if it has one) has completed"
Sure, just like the hypothetical yard work has a cost. I think what you’re illustrating is that protectionism doesn’t make people poorer per se, but it’s bad when it’s abused for individual purposes rather than broader purposes.

I'm vastly more afraid of panicked Shock Doctrine citzens being whipped into giving governments free hand in passing Total Information Control ultra PATRIOT Act power grabs than I am of AI.

Manufacturing disinformation will scale up like crazy. But already there is a sizable world economy on certain propagandizing vicious bastard states, doing this shit manually, at global scale. The additional magnitudes are, but for now, but not stressing me out, and in fact creating the potential for us to start caring more realistically, creating the seeds for a return to journalism or other better high trust systems that we've already lost.

And there will be more automation, more 'jobs lost'. But again I think this probably more just exacerbates & spotlights wicked nasty gross problems with class & power that we already direly need to tangle with, that are already extreme.

But the story here is irresistible. We are manufacturing so much consent to spend oodles and oodles of effort & time trying clutching our pearls over this topic. We are already so far along in convincing ourselves how afraid we should be.
I cannot feel sympathy when the pincers of capitalism deflate the ego of a web denizen.
PyPI does not allow file uploads to be changed [0] but while that means this particular scenario is not an issue for PyPI/pip I'm not completely confident it's impossible to come up with a problematic scenario. Perhaps if a broken wheel was later published for an existing release with a working source distribution. In practice this is not something I've run into though.

I don't think it's possible to make money like a traditional bank or brokerage with cryptocurrency, none of it is sticky and the users can go around you. Thus the "security but not a security" get rich quick FOMO schemes.
I installed iOS 17 and it feels so much snappier than iOS 16 ! Looks like Apple is finally focusing on performance.
Yep. There's an informal name for people on a consulting or consulting team for this purpose: "talent". Interestingly, in women C-suite heavy environments, there is an occasional niche of bringing male talent on a team.

The general rule: Attractiveness correlates positively with income per unit effort. Attractive people get other people to do the hard work for them.

The corollary is that unattractive people must work harder, prove themselves more, and are forgiven less than attractive people. People tend to hold unconscious biases against unattractive people as more likely to be selfish, unkind, unworthy, and criminal.

PS: Respect to attractive people from well-to-do families who work their behinds off to not coast on stereotypical advantages.
No problem! I love being able to read the commit log & see the wip.

Oh, and as for the 'intended 230 V' -> grid voltage can be between 228 and 252 inclusive without violating the standard. Nominally it is 240 V, not 230 V. The way inverters inject power into the grid is by syncing to it and then leading the phases a bit to cause current to flow. The RMS voltage will rise as a consequence of that.

The amount of testing (and testing with accuracy) would be extremely high. Even if it's possible, I can't imagine the cost would be remotely feasible given the sheer number of ways to track someone without searching for their poop in sewers.
It's hilarious to me that people are so petrified of wrongthink. Must not ask the wrong questions, it could be "harmful".

And the answer is not to teach people better critical thinking and fact finding skills or to teach people ways to accept and cope with the fact that other people have different opinions about things than they do. It is to convince them they will be hurt by these things and must turn to others to protect them and prevent them being exposed to such dangerous things, like like those comedy sketches of parents covering their childrens' eyes and ears when they see something profane.
It has happened in open source, too: OpenOffice was once well-respected, but 10 years ago we needed to switch to LibreOffice. (and I bet still not everyone has noticed)
You bought IOU's from a centralized entity, you didn't do anything with crypto.
The Falcon 40B param model may have potential, but at this point, I would be surprised if it were ready for primetime code completion tasks. It might be useful for answering questions about the code from a local vector store. I'd imagine that not using AI for code completion tasks in 2023 also carries some degree of risk. What are the primary concerns of your team? OpenAI using your IP against you or something else?
Your second point is interesting. One thing about crypto is it’s generally opt-in, whereas e.g. your local plumber didn’t have much of a say in buying thousands of dollars a month of Google ads to stay afloat.
That’s mistaking an effect for a cause, in my mind (your first paragraph). If companies are constantly changing the rules to squeeze more monetization out of existing relationships, of course consumers will only care about the lowest upfront cost: it’s the only benefit that’s real. If relationships with companies can’t be trusted, paying more to be treated better just makes you a mark.
I feel like they're targeting VR.

Some background: Currently PCVR is basically 100% Windows. It's possible to stream VR games from a PC to a standalone headset (ie: with the Quest AirLink) but it depends on network conditions. For example, if both computer and headset are connected via WiFi, and neither has line of sight to the router, performance is likely to be questionable, at best. In theory a computer could use it's own WiFi chipset to make a direct connection, but there's also a WiFi 6 dongle that allows for a direct link between computer and headset.

With that said: Apple already has devices that talk to each other, laptops with high-speed WiFi chips, and now they're making a VR headset. So they have all the parts for a really slick PCVR (er, MacVR?) experience, except the games.

So I 100% don't think the timing is coincidental. They're almost certainly targeting PCVR, although I don't know what they will do with motion controllers. That said, there's still nearly a year until launch, so maybe they haven't shown us everything (or maybe it's not ready).

Edit: should also add that this might be really important for VR gaming because we don't know how much compute is available for apps. However, the dual-chip design implies that a single M2 was not enough for visionOS, which does not bode well.
Ah the other ESG…
1) The first DIY PPS that I built used a small duct fan drawing air from outside and pushing it through a hepa filter to the inside. It is important to use duct fans as you need to create air pressure more than air flow and box fans are not built to create the amount of pressure required.

2) Ideally you get a PPS system with a heat recovery unit. Also important is to have the PPS demand controlled based on an indoor air quality monitor that measures PM and CO2 and then only pushing in the right amount of air to meet your target values for PM and CO2. This way you can save a lot of energy costs and temperature differentials.

3) Thanks for asking ;) We maintain popular open source air quality monitor kits that are very easy to assemble and use industry grade sensors [1]

It's 70% better than O(1). The algorithms it found are for sort3, sort4, and sort5, which were poorly optimized in LLVM's libc++.
> Installation. Unlike an air purifier that you just plug-in, a positive pressure system needs to be installed. This means you need to break a 4 or 6-inch hole into your wall for the air intake and install an air outlet in your wall or ceiling. [0]

Hmm, my apartment has a 4-6 inch hole for air exchange in the living room, but is otherwise a tight air envelope due to being a relatively modern building. Is there...something I can buy for this? This seems reasonably doable, unless I'm missing something obvious.

Petroleum contains many hydrocarbons, with chains of different lengths. Octane (C8H18) is one. Refineries separate various hydrocarbons. In principle a refinery can separate pure octane. If sold at the pump, that would be by definition gasoline with 100 octane rating. The majority of the hydrocarbons are worse than octane, but some are slightly better. So you could have gasoline without any additives that has an octane rating slightly higher than 100. The problem is that most chains have octane rating significantly lower than 100. What do you do with them? You throw them? Of course not. People create different blends, and add some additives so they can sell as much of the original petroleum as gasoline with a decent octane rating.

Yes, there are some other octane boosters. The main ones today are 3: ethanol, MTBE and ETBE. MTBE and ETBE are derived from methanol and ethanol respectively [1]. I don't know if there is anything wrong with MTBE or ETBE, but the ethanol lobby managed to push the idea that ethanol is good, so it is widely mixed in gasoline in the US.

According to the DOE [2]:

Lower-octane gasoline is blended with 10% ethanol to attain the standard 87 octane.

Your assumption could come to pass. It's not a certainty. Keep in mind that these squabbles center around ownership, custody and handling - not seeking to destroy, or to cast the assets themselves as 'bad' per se.
Seems like the big drawback of the positive-pressure approach would be flushing the heating/cooling out, too (as you've said in the article). That drawback would seem to be proportional the flowrate of the positive-pressure airflow.

So what if you redo your experiment with lower positive-pressure flows? This is:

1. Keep the 280-m^3/hr purifier on the whole time.

2. Start with the 220-m^3/hr positive-pressure system running.

3. Wait for the particulate-level to equilibrate, then record the particulate-level and the pressure-difference (between outside and inside).

4. Reduce the air-flow of the positive-pressure system by, say, 20-m^3/hr.

5. Loop back to Step-3 while the air-flow of the positive-pressure system isn't negative.

With the objective to be to determine how low the positive-pressure system's flowrate can get while still maintaining its benefits, reducing heating/cooling losses.
