I don’t think winning prizes that academics themselves create is proof that the academic jobs are valuable. Of course we could say the same thing about Tyler.
Irrational because there's no path and clear leverage that helps them get to the purported end-goal. It is more like a tantrum than a strategic calculated response, which makes it more irrational than rational.
“The 'build vs. buy' decision is not just about cost or capabilities. It's a strategic choice that shapes the future of your product, impacts your competitive positioning, and ultimately, defines your ability to serve your customers effectively.”
The overarching point is that the way market capitalism is structured today increasingly incentivizes these kinds of decisions.

That is not to say that Softbank completely dropped the ball on monitoring and oversight. Under no circumstances should Neumann have been allowed to self-deal by purchasing buildings with WeWork share collateral and leasing them back to the company.
>Assuming you really want an Apple headset, it can be solved in lots of ways including aftermarket straps or tools or just a roll of sticky tape.

Of course it can be solved with some ducktape, but for $3500 do you fell that's a great UX for your money? That's like buying a Mercedes S-Class and having to manually wind the windows.
Holding option and clicking the plus will maximize it like a Window's maximize button.

The option key on macOS enables all sorts of extra functionality, open some drop down menus while holding it and you'll find extra / more advanced options in some. Or if you option click your Wifi, for instance, you get all the network info for the network in a bigger popup than clicking it alone!
Thank you for the detailed answer. I am looking into a risk management system and valuation also seems to be an area where data structures can significantly improve calculation time. Also on my end looking into the role of data structure into enabling two separate optimisation paths, one being the real time latency oriented and the other being the batch throughout oriented. If anyone has seen any work on data structures with focus on this kind of optimisations it would be great. A bit related to the parent discussion, I am looking at graphs with tree views if that makes sense.
The Netherlands is trying to put up rules to make crypto compliant. Which is exactly why Binance is leaving.

Financial freedom is apparently a code word for tax evasion- not a surprise since the whole thing was embraced by American libertarians.
As a father of 2, yes. Assuming the other children are reasonable... Hey maybe this kid is fully capable adult... but that is improbable.
I didn’t see any detailed discussion about what they really mean by brain waves, or what information is contained within what they measure as brain waves. I assume they don’t believe brain waves encode cognition in a meaningful/complete way. It seems more like comparing the engine noises of two cars running at the same speed. Why not expect similarities/synchronization when human cognition is powered by the same brain/engine design.
The author and I have lived in the same places, almost on the same timeline, except SF actual.

> Since then, I’ve come back to Portland, and the options to get around without a car are better again. Portland has a pretty good bike share program, an above average light rail system, and an okay bus network. Plus, my neighborhood is pretty walkable, with a 73 walk score.

Portland's friendliness to biking has dropped in recent years. Pedestrian deaths have risen quite a bit, which makes people not want to use our many bike lanes. Some background: https://bikeportland.org/2023/03/15/city-counts-reveal-data-...

There's two main theories that I think reflect the whole truth:

- PBOT built a lot of bus and train infrastructure. Turns out they designed it in a way that can be hostile to biking.

- We eliminated our traffic division and around that time pedestrian and motorcycle fatalities greatly increased.

I'd also like to point out that walkability in Portland mostly correlates to how rich/new (almost the same thing in Portland) the area is. Portland has a lot of old neighborhoods and they don't really have a density strategy, meaning they'll just build in density anywhere including demolishing most of a street and compounding a whole two lane street with dense housing. The thing I've learned from this is that density needs to be integrative; it should be smartly built among SFHs and should not the the majority or only housing on an existing street. That's to say, if you take a street designed for 10 homes and then you turn it into quadplexes bad things happen to traffic, much less the vibe of the area. My street is a good example of how to do it right, they capped the dense housing so it could only occupy half of the street. We have condos for a quarter of the street, quadplexes for a quarter, and SFHs for half.

Why does this matter? Portland ties paving of roads and building of sidewalks to new construction. It's a perverse incentive that resulted in there being sidewalks and a minimally paved road up to my house. Everything thereafter is a gravel road in the middle of Portland. It's dangerous during Portland's rainy season, but the city doesn't really care. This is their carrot. When we asked the city to come in and pave the road and finish the sidewalk so that folks can get to our deli/grocery store easier, Portland responded that we could raise money and build our own on their land and we still needed to pay the exhorbitant city permitting fees.

On the other hand, Portland does an excellent job with mass transportation. Just outside my neighborhood you can catch a bus to anywhere around Portland, including the train, which in three hours can take you to Seattle. It's really nice.
It's pretty obvious why that is, don't you think? Surveillance cameras are targeting everyone in the space equally. A person pointing a camera at you is targeting you specifically. Of course that causes a different reaction.
I'd have to be convinced that you can develop those intuitions without basic arithmetic. Mind you, I'm not saying spend a lot of time mastering long division or whatever. (I'd probably have to look up the technique myself.) But I think some level of numeric fluency is probably necessary.
Try finding something that he likes, that could be enhanced with programming to start with. Mine was fantasy basketball, doing it with the help of computers is so much better than by hand.
The article says it can differ from cuff device reading by as much as 8mmhg, but cuff device itself can have lerger error if it is not weared on the hand correctly.

So if the figure in the article is correct, this would be very useful for people living alone to quickly get approximate measurment.
Another lesson of Ikea is that often you cannot move them from one home/apartment to another, because if you try to take it apart and then reassemble it, it's never the same.

To extend this via analogy to the software realm, a deep refactoring is problematic whereas OTOH a complete rewrite is a better idea.

Which has not borne borne out by industry experience.
Learning about how they product bin CPUs blew my mind years ago.

iirc, the CPUs come off the same manufacturing line--but the ones they sold as 3.2ghz vs 3.4ghz were based on stability tests. It was the same chip, just that some came out the oven better than others. So they would cap it and slap a label on it, which is why overclocking is feasible but inconsistent.
This mod was done many years ago, before it was common to be able to find someone who could do proper frequency response measurement. Unless someone measured them in the thread, I wouldn’t assume the visual difference check identified 100% of the differences, including material differences.

Sennheiser likes to reuse parts across their headphones lineup. They have several current models that look similar despite tiny internal differences but have substantially difference frequency response due to those tiny changes.

This is always going to anger the people who think the cost of objects should be based solely on the cost of materials. I find that especially ironic for a a website where most of us work on software products where the cost of running and distributing the software is vanishingly small and produces margins these hardware companies could only dream of.
Also that the RIF developer didn't want to work with them, which emails showed was false.

There were 4-5 other things that are escaping me at the moment.
I was wondering the same. I know very little about either, but it reminds me of the containment issues that plasma fusion has, and I wondered if they could do something similar and make a controlled turbulence.
It sounds like the closest thing to what you want is the Xreal Air, not the Simula One, which is a project for a full high-quality standalone VR headset (that happens to run Linux instead of Android like other standalones).

> VR instead of AR is a dealbreaker for me though

The problem with AR is a basic technical one: you can't use a transparent lens to paint black pixels over white light. That's why Apple, despite being desperate to make the "Apple Glasses", has basically abandoned AR entirely in favor of VR-but-the-video-passthrough-is-so-good-it-feels-like-AR design, and I would expect most other companies working on AR devices to follow suit.
> Everybody angry at this practice needs to understand that they couldn't just sell the premium tier for $150. They'd need to sell it for $250, or whatever the weighted mean is.

it should be stressed that this is only true if we add the assumption that they must make the same amount of money, which isn't part of the thought exercise

thus, "need to" should be "want to, because they want more money"
Can you answer the question: do you think the Chinese (or any nationality) think they're better than you when they won't let you become a citizen?

> No. Simply closing their border is not oppressive but just like in the US, it is not enough to produce an ethnocentric society.

It's enough to maintain one.

> This is the only way to achieve their ethnocentric objectives.

In that part of China, sure.

> In both cases, the objective is built around ethnic superiority and is equally racist and reprehensible and amoral and inhumane.

Name one ethnicity that couldn't be construed as such. Respecting the rights of individuals is not how ethnicities are constructed. Liberalism destroys ethnicities, yet liberals have decided not to be evenhanded about it because it's not politically expedient. That's how you produce more intense forms of racism.
In the example in the article, if you want to communicate a series of 5 dice rolls, you can send a binary symbol of the number of each roll (1-6), 5 times. Using 3-bit coding for each number, it would take 15bits (5 numbers in the sequence, 3 bits each) to communicate a message

But there’s an alternative way, instead of each number individually, you can code the sequences of 5 numbers, which there are 65432 of in this case, 6!/1! = 720, which can be encoded in binary with 8 bits

So instead of 15 bits, you can use 8
Yeah. Andreas is an inspiration and a trailblazer, and although we're on slightly different journeys, we have similar ambitions I think :D

It's weird, it's become this truth in software development that one should lower their ambitions, try to do something small and not overextend. Don't try to reinvent the wheel, stay in your lane.

Which I guess is sage advice for a beginner, but I think it sort of stuck with the developer hive mind and as a result, what you get is these small low-impact projects instead of this kind of a moonshot.

While I don't think just anyone could make a browser or a search engine, I also don't think most who could would ever think to try because of these self-imposed limitations.
Can't open the linked PDF, might be my mobile browser - anyone has a direct link?
That's the public-facing reason.

The real reason is that dropping him after the first big losses would make it clear that you f'd up by backing him in the first place.

More context: https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/issues/278

The FFmpeg-Builds repo has a GitHub Actions Workflow which clones the Mercurial repo. However, this runs as a (daily?) cronjob. In addition, this repo has 700 forks and now all of them are running the same workflow.

This is out of control for the original author of the repo as there’s no way to change those 700 forks…

EDIT: Also relevant is that there’s no official GMP mirror at any of the major code hosting sites (GitHub, GitLab) etc.
I’m going to make a random guess that in Brazil it’s far cheaper to hire someone to guard the elevator than build an entirely new elevator in a building that did not have one already (and where would you put it? What if it’s full?)
Too many false starts too lead to doing the same fundamentals all over again, making one feels like they are not progressing at all.

I remember reading somewhere, do the implementation of it along side fundamentals. The reason you are studying fundamentals to progress ahead, do that course along side too. This helps one grasp the fundamentals quickly and more importantly to know which fundamentals you really need than to try to do everything and forget aspects of it later.

That being said, I am yet to implement that concept and get over false starts
The fact you happily paid for music does not negate the rampant piracy that Apple happily benefited from.
He is smart maybe he should try and start an business or something..
I mean he isn't working for sustenance here, he is still a dependent. At least that is what I would do.
Maybe 5 years ago, I was in a similar place. I had a particularly embarrassing moment at work when it clicked that I just... didn't know the basics. I was, to use an overused term, "mathematically immature".

So I made a commitment: I decided I would work through Khan Academy math for 1-hour a day for 1 year. I started with pre-K [1] (specifically counting) and watched every video and did every single exercise in order. I focused on mastery. I didn't rush myself, and I did not continue until I felt completely confident in the material. I just did this for a year. I think I go through roughly algebra 2. In my mind, it is critical to combine explicit knowledge (watch videos) with tactic knowledge [2] (do exercises). For example, you need to understand what a logarithm is conceptually but you also just need to do problems to get a feel for it. So this is fundamentally different than learning-by-grazing or just reading a book.

I could go on and on, but let me just say that it changed my relationship to math in a deep way.

Wouldn't \u1f914 have been interpreted as \u1f19 followed by '4'? How were you imagining this might work?
> ...much of it is his struggle to even define what it means

Exactly. Like many of us, Graeber writes to understand.

His stated purpose is abundantly clear. Many, many people were sharing with Graeber complaints of a similar theme. So he tried to name and describe it.

Rightly, wrongly, or otherwise, it's all in the book. For other people to pick apart and response to.

How else is scholarship supposed to function?

Would Graeber have been more effective as an op ed columnist, churning out saccharine blather which confirms everyone's priors? eg The World is Flat and Bobos in Paradise?
From my experience that only goes from "bad to neutral". I'll gladly waste extra 5 minutes if my work commute cycling path doesn't have to share road with cars or otherwise car-congested area but if it is "just a cycling road" vs "a cycling road near nice forest", most times I go the shorter one.
I'm very happy with my Meze 99 Classics.
That seems like a perfectly reasonable response. They even provided the project so GMP could reach out.
Well put, there will always be people willing to do this for free, so the value is actually $0.
You’ve already got an answer from an expert working in the field who spent years studying and more years practicing.

Randos on the internet aren’t going to give you a better answer. If you want another perspective ask the rep to put you in touch with an MD who thinks it IS a good use of resources.
Readarr is weird. Turned it off after I started get messages from it saying it was deleting my ebooks. I don't know why it can't just work like Sonarr.
A word of caution: Lemmy has a serious number of bugs in its web front-end. A lot of "spinning forever" bugs instead of reporting errors, and other such issues.

I don't know how solid the backend is, but instances are crapping out on ~10,000ish users on smallish dedicated servers, suggesting severe bottlenecks in the code. Current discussion seems to suggest RAM bottlenecks and a lot of swapping.

Lemmy wasn't quite ready for the #RedditBlackout. But I think its still in a "workable enough" state to experiment with. Some communities (ex: Beehaw.org) are worried about growing faster than needed (human-side scaling, not machine side). Since Beehaw.org is trying to recruit specific kinds of people / posting patterns.

So I guess what I'm saying is... Lemmy tech stack is good enough for Beehaw.org. I dunno if its good enough for Lemmy.world (which is very "Reddit-like" in open enrollments / ease of community making).
Chromecast works reliably here (served from Debian). DLNA is broken, though, but that's probably a firewall rule.

It took me a while to realize that Chromecast doesn't play from the phone itself, you need a server with a valid HTTPS certificate that's reachable from the Chromecast itself to play content. You can also use plain HTTP, as long as you don't use self-signed certificates. For the routing problem there's no solution, you can't, say, have a phone hooked up to a VPN and play to a Chromecast on the local WiFi.

There's also an issue with putting Jellyfin in a different subdirectory (i.e. videoplayer.local/servers/jellyfin) but for me that still seems to work, luckily.

Also make sure the Chromecast can resolve your domain through its DNS resolver. If you use a local DNS server (i.e. the one built into your router) to resolve hosts in the LAN, you need to block 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 so Chromecast doesn't have a choice but to use your normal DNS server.

Firefox also doesn't seem to like my Chromecast but that's the case for every video I play.
My mother is able to send a telegram bot youtube URLs. She sends links to audiobooks, yt-dlp extracts audio and saves it in an incoming folder and shes able to listen/download it via jellyfin. Works really well.
A lot of CS people use reddit including blackhat hackers, I was wondering if something like this might happen after reddit pisses them off by attacking their fellow CS people via going from beloved place to BS to a full capitalist menace.
Taxis are complementary to the higher-priority parts of the hierarchy. It's easier to commit to walking/cycling/public transport knowing that you can always take a taxi in a pinch. SOVs have the inverse effect - it's hard to combine them with other modes of transportation, and if you're already paying to own/maintain/insure a vehicle, you're incentivized away from considering alternatives.

Sorry but no. Navigating TO the registrar is convoluted, and the way billing is written and sent to you is hella mad.

Who has any idea what Route 53 is supposed to mean!
Right but it is above high occupancy vehicles, that by nature carry more.

Also taxis net more traffic as the time taxi driver is driving to the next customer is essentially useless.
I’d argue those cities in the east coast you mention are closer together and more densely populated. If you were to look at the northeast region by itself (Boston, New York, Washington), I bet its rail is comparable to similar European countries.
i also sold my startup to a good outcome and ran the business very profitably for years and i agree that there are some things that can not be taught - but that doesn't mean they can't be learned if you have the right mental models. at one point i was terrible at dating / women but over the years i've gotten a lot better than where i started. and yes, there are some people who are just hopeless because they refuse to let go of weird mental hangups that aren't based in reality.

here are some personal observations which you may or may not agree with.

1. you need to be in reasonable shape. pay no attention to the exceptions to this rule, they don't apply to you. so get fit however you want. the more the better. nobody wants to fuck a slug.

2. you don't NEED money, but it certainly doesn't hurt. truly not caring about bills/expenses exudes something you can't fake. broke dudes can truly not care about bills also, from the other side. counter-intuitive, right? if you were broke, could you fake it convincingly? no, probably not. because the exceptions don't apply to you.

3. if you show an ounce, a smidge, one iota, a mere hint of neediness, you're fuckin' GONE. again, pay no attention to the exceptions because they don't apply to you. this can be anything from needing to text/communicate way too often, or weighing other peoples' opinions too much, or being unsure of how to deal with a situation. if you're confused about life just keep it to yourself and ask your male friends or older guys. being confident and wrong is an easy fix if you're a fast learner. being a wishy washy dork is unforgiveable.

4. learn how to dress well in your own style. the exceptions don't apply to you. everyone has their own style so there's not much to say here other than make sure everything fits.

5. being good at sex matters a lot, or at least not terrible. you need a solid baseline upon which to improve. this may seem like a catch-22 because it is. catch-22 is the base layer of reality of the male condition. if you want success you need to figure it out, just like in business. just fucking figure it out, smart guy. the exceptions don't apply to you.

6. height and race matters a lot. if you're short or not white you need to work harder at everything, unless you are exceptional, which you clearly are not. whether or not this is worth it is up to you. if the threshold for effort is deemed to be too much, that's a valid response to a skewed market. just know that every other guy out there is hoping you give up.

7. a woman can break up with you or dump you or ghost you for absolutely no reason at all even if you are the perfect ideal person on paper. this is a non-deterministic field of outcomes. if you get upset at this, you need to grow up.

8. persistence in the face of overwhelming odds against you is how you succeed in business, it applies here also. some are lucky, they are exceptional, and you are not.
I ride a conventional bike, and felt the same way at first. However, I've come to grips with the fact that physical effort is the primary obstacle to adopting cycling as a form of transportation. With physical effort comes sweating, which is a taboo in US office culture. No amount of moral superiority on my part is going to change that.

I've noticed that as they gain experience, the e-cyclists tend to behave themselves pretty well.
Would you pay a large amount for another speculative technology development (say Tesla auto pilot)?

Personally I would only do that if I know and care about the topic, in which case I would have an answer already.
Interestingly, I've long held the suspicion that AI will bring about a period where one person can create a company that would have taken 10 people in 2022 to build.

This means we should see far more innovation and new products coming along in 2-3 years.

For example, it wouldn't be surprise if 10,000 new Instagram competitor ideas spring up overnight and maybe 1 or 2 of them actually surpass Instagram.
