I have similar needs, but aldo need them to be outdoor/waterproof and PoE capable.

I looked at DIY with Raspberry Pi high quality cameras, but the outdoor requirements mean I really need a manufactured housing. (Camera will be in an area very hard to reach for servicing.)

I wonder if there is any project to hack the generic chinese camera makes and install custom firmware?
The only reason this experiment seems to have worked is because it was brutal. So not sure what the relevance is. I imagine you could induce serious vertigo through VR in someone, and associate it with smoking in the same way, but that's still brutal and a form of aversion therapy, which brings serious ethical concerns from my point of view (particularly if applied to a child).
Display marketing. The advertiser chooses which content gets their ads, and how much of a premium that content demands.

This has the side effect of allowing reputable / high quality sites to charge more per impression, and is also privacy preserving (since it does not require user profiling).
The first line in the article:

> When federal regulators stepped in to backstop all of Silicon Valley Bank’s deposits, they saved thousands of small tech startups and prevented what could have been a catastrophic blow to a sector that relied heavily on the lender.

Both can be true. Thousands of the "little guys" were saved. Some big names benefitted too. And?
Philosophically ... considered, what? Muons are leptons in the standard model.

The ars article summarizes <https://www.cell.com/iscience/pdf/S2589-0042(23)01077-5.pdf>. See figure 4, which shows a photo of two scintillators (1m x 1m x 0.02m Eijen EJ-200 plastic scintillators <https://eljentechnology.com/products/plastic-scintillators/e...>) and a green ray representing a single muon passing through both.

> it is not the same muon

The green ray is not wrong because of multiple muons, but because of mutiple Coulomb scattering (MCS) within the scintillators. There is a brief overview of MCS in a muon tomography context starting at the top of the second column on the first page of <https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04947>. Figures 1 and 2 therein show the trajectory of a single muon experiencing MCS within a plastic scintillator.
KumoMTA – An Open-Source High-Performance Email Server – Now in Production
Hey all, we're a group of email infrastructure industry veterans, and before that were contributors to PHP and MySQL, and we decided that it was time for there to be an Open-Source MTA as scalable and flexible as the commercial options, and so KumoMTA was born.

We just cut our first production release and hope you can give it a try, it's great for all forms of email sending, but excels in high-volume, multi-tenant environments.

What's the benefit of carbon fiber's strength-to-weight ratio when making a submersible?

I guess you can have smaller motors to drive you around on the bottom, but the vast majority of the travel is controlled via ballast/buoyancy.

To me, planes and cars have much more obvious gains from lighter materials. Not so much for the sub.
For my apartment, I run rtsp-simple-server[1] on my home server and use Raspberry Pis with generic USB webcams running ffmpeg to stream the audio/video to the RTSP server. Then I run camera.ui[2] separately for a nicer interface on top of all the cameras, HomeKit integration, etc.

The only downside hardware-wise is I don't get any indoor IR night vision with these, which some of the nicer "smart home" account-locked ones do.

It's honestly not too bad to set up if you run [1] and [2] in Docker. I've done disaster recovery scenarios of my home infra where I straight up disconnect the modem's uplink and everything works without any issues.

"Resume" across a time period of multiple human lifetimes doesn't really convey the correct implications. If I happen to share the same business as my great-great-great-grandfather nobody is going to call that "resuming the family business".

What would multisce entropy prove about this pattern? I’m not even sure how you’d apply it. Iirc, multiscale entropy is specifically for timeseries.
i had to put a CAPTCHA system on a public register form for digital libraries, because they were getting spammed by bots.
I had a few bad trips, one being very bad and which changed the direction of my life. It also made me realize that I was doing these things for the wrong reasons (mostly peer pressure, or a desire to fit in with certain crowds, etc.). In retrospect, it just wasn't very fun, and certainly wasn't a useful way (for me) to live my life.
This isn't a some think it's good and some think it's bad kind of thing. Just like with climate change there's no legitimate other side.

Fluoride in your water supply is key to reducing tooth decay. Every medical association every scrap of evidence that we have says it's useful and important. It cuts tooth decay by 25% or so at all ages. You're doing yourself and your family a massive disservice by not adding it back in, never mind causing yourself a lot of pain and losing a lot of money in the long term.

https://www.cdc.gov/fluoridation/index.html

I think it's ironic that people don't listen to doctors when they suggest simple proven methods that have a worldwide consensus behind them and unlimited evidence. But then are willing to let those same doctors drill into their skulls when they're in pain. Don't be that person :)
You can also get a console and not connect it to the internet for central management.
- I don't quite understand what "metadata" you're referring to?

- Makes sense. These are the kind of edge cases to figure out with special blocks like code. In theory, the selection you have before enter is a block selection, which would usually remove the block when anything is inserted (enter is specifically handled to move focus to the code editor). Will consider making other characters do the same.
I don't think the controller would have gotten such a strong reaction if it was an X-Box 360 or X-Box One controller. Those are reliable, sturdy, and used as controllers in industry and military. But instead it was some $30 Logitech controller, something you would consider the budget choice in the context of somebody playing Call of Duty.

I guess the equivalent is putting the flimsy $1.25 trash can from Dollar Store in your spacecraft, instead of a $8 trash can.

I've seen a bit of discussion around time of release, especially around it being a putative "distraction" from the Hunter Biden news stories, but that doesn't make any sense; those have been going on for a while now and will continue to go on for a while regardless of this. What I see here is roughly the expected speed of the military internally deciding this is safe to release, through several layers of bureaucracy, all of which are concerned about being court martialed if they are too excited to say "yes" without making sure their butts are 100% covered. I'd even call this a surprisingly fast release, honestly, probably because the physics of this are such that they weren't fooling very many people (and none of the ones who really mattered), except, apparently, psychphysic.
Just keep the old version's docs and have a version select drop down.

I don't want to trawl through what is essentially a changelog, I want to browse/search the docs for the version I am using.
Wasix Undermines WebAssembly System Interface Spec, Bytecode Alliance Says
The Fed just spent a decade making fools of anyone who tried to manage risk sensibly; anyone who believes the stock market is currently measuring some sort of value would have to rate COVID as one of the best things to ever happen to the US. It is in fact just measuring the money printing activities. It is a bit rich to tut-tut at the money managers - they are probably idiots, but the reason idiots are managing all that money is ... the Fed incentivised it for more than 10 years.

Furthermore, I still think it is unclear that SVB was a true failure for the decision makers - in the sense that it seems possible that the people making active decisions might have made money. There has been a lack of clarity around who is losing out in this crisis and why ("shareholders" doesn't count - who are they? how much a head?). It seems possible the SVB owners who lost money were either index funds who pass the costs back to small players who were forced out of bonds by the fed, or entities caught up in some web that meant they simultaneously benefited from the bail outs. The people getting bailed out aren't normal depositors.
The choose some other manufacturer. E.g. Aisler will do assembly for 10 Boards for around 200€ in Germany, more than JLCPCB (this is probably in part due to the scale and automation with which JLCPCB operates), but much less than 1k.
I don't think "standard" is the point. It's about unlocking new features and capabilities.

That's simply untrue. Even with brushing with toothpaste is still eliminates an extra 25% of tooth decay. That's a lot of extra teeth!

I was studying to do military software at university, and the amount of deliberate inefficiency is insane. I worked on reducing software bugs and increasing quality, but the more bugs delivered the more money is made so such improvements were actively resisted. Plus pay at Raytheon and Lockheed was really really bad so I went to Silicon Valley instead.

I actually do sell software to the military now so I do know what it’s like. Part of it is the customers fault, they make it so expensive to do business with them that you lose money in overhead if you’re not ripping them off somewhere else. I wish I could put a line item that shows them just how expensive their stupid paperwork is. But part of the reason the customer is like that is because they’re routinely getting ripped off. Maybe if people in the military were smarter they could figure things out but in my experience it seems that McNamara’s Project 100K never ended and the military serves as an alternate welfare program for people who would be unable to get a job anywhere else. I’m not even sure I’m mad about it, the US still loves war too much despite how ruinously expensive it is. I worry if it was cheaper the US would do even more of it. Unfortunately it’s becoming cheaper anyway with all this drone warfare so we still have that dystopia to look forward to.
Software is slow because being slow isn't fatal.
I'd love to see it booting and then cold starting the apps, for comparison.

No idea what you're on about.
It blows my mind how unresponsive modern tech is, and it frustrates me constantly. What makes it even worse is how unpredictable the lags are so you can't even train yourself around it.

I was watching Halt and Catch Fire and in the first season the engineering team makes a great effort to meet something called the "Doherty Threshold" to keep the responsiveness of the machine so the user doesn't get frustrated and lose interest. I guess that is lost to time!
Monopsony is more like it.
Many large academic libraries have extensive digitisation efforts, though the results more often turn up on Hathi Trust (something of a waste of electrons in my view) than anywhere truly useful.

Hathi Trust itself grew out of Google's book-scanning initiative, and is shaped (and scarred) by copyright lawsuits.

That said, I hope some number of those works also find their way to Libgen and ZLibrary.
This is happening with routers, too. Just recently had someone give me a new Netgear Nighthawk for free, and I was stoked until it wanted me to download an app and create an account to manage my network. Straight to the garbage.

"scare" in English is often used to describe a public over-reaction to a perceived threat. In the US we had the "red scare" that was an over reaction to communists in the US.

A similar concept is the "satanic panic", the idea that all our children were being abducted by satanic cults.

So the actual issue seems to be that the permissions in GNOME 41 had to be given each screenshot, but seems to work fine if you keep granting it. In newer GNOME there's now a new persistent permission. Flatpak for example can use this & has successfully closed that linked ticket.

Seems like a decent success story, in the long run. GNOME did what Wayland is good at/what we couldn't do before & made a semi secure system. But GNOME over secured, made things too hard. We learned & improved things.

The page here catastrophizes with abandon. Like much zealotry surrounding Wayland. Things can be bad, times might not be smooth, but recognizing the arch, having the empathy to recognize progress & effort: that's thr capital spirit of open source.

Forty-odd years ago, I worked for a company that had a lot of files stored on punched tape. One day a fire broke out a couple of floors below it, and by the time the fire was out, the punched tapes were thoroughly soaked. Those who needed the files had quite a time getting them read and re-created.

Why pointless? The authors ran a detailed analysis, identified a bottleneck (the endotoxin purification) and made a recommendation that effort be made to tackle that bottleneck by engineering cell lines that can withstand higher amounts of endotoxins. To me this sounds as useful as science can be.
It needn't be multiscale entropy precisely, but anything similar to it.

The way I intuit it, though I could be wrong, is that as you have a "ground level" or "close" measurement of white noise, it appears complex and varied. As you go up and up in the scale, you get the "eagle eye's view" of white noise, you realize "oh shit, it's all kinda the same!"

So it wouldn't necessarily prove anything, but if the entropy dropped as you scaled, it would show that the pattern isn't really that complex, and there's a lot of hidden redundancy. I mean it is called a "pattern" after all to be fair.
It's the common understanding, not "one guy online thinks it means something, so it does." Dictionaries helpfully record those evolving, common understandings for reference.
The Melian Dialogue. That, by the way, was democratic Athens laying down the law to the Melos islanders who wanted to be neutral in the Peloponnesian war.

The Athenians then proceeded to kill the adult males and sell the remaining population into slavery. The island was repeopled by Athens, and later produced the Venus of Milo.
Someone implemented this process, as well as the policies that drove it. They clearly needed an incentive to think through the PR consequences (if nothing else) before imposing their incompetence on a paying customer.

Firing people for negligence in similar situations would likely have had just such an effect.
At a time in my life where I was not sleeping (at all, it's a long story) I would frequently see shadowy figures. It was very unnerving. There were no eyes or features to speak of - it would be like if you were in an already dark room and someone was standing there - you can't seem them except for a hint of a shape. Many times I would see one in the corner, stare at it for a long time, blink, then it would be in another or area of the room. It felt like if I fell asleep it would attack me, which only fueled the anxiety of no sleep even more.

It wasn't until well after I fixed those issues that I learned shadow figures are a common symptom of sleep deprivation and sleep paralysis. There's something deeply necessary yet anxiety producing about sleep. Even now I have to force myself to sleep because of all the ill effects that came from years of not sleeping.

The lock-in for that is on Nvidia's side, not Apple's.
I have encountered a situation a few times where a bug that went unnoticed for a while was actually keeping another, more serious bug from surfacing. So when the first bug was fixed, it caused more serious problems elsewhere in the system. I could see where they're coming from where any kind of "fix" needs to trigger a careful reevaluation of the whole system. That being said, I don't see a need for the Kafkaesque months of planning and budgeting that follow.
AI is not the solution to saner politics. That is a cultural issue specific to the political and media landscape of America. No other country in peacetime has local politicians waving guns at the camera as part of an electoral campaign.

We can query exactly what was written and said today, most public meetings of state/national importance will have full transcripts. People in America aren't going to do the work of looking into any of that. It is easier to click the share button on a meme image and brawl in the comment sections.
To be fair, securing the OSS supply chain is a tough task, especially when pulling in new versions.
Even worse is the new trend of web pages optimizing for page load time. You wind up with a page that loads "instantly" but has almost none of the data you need displayed. Instead there are 2 or 3 AJAX requests to load the data & populate the DOM. Each one results in a repaint, wasting CPU and causing the page content to move around.
It's possible with OSS development but spreading out contributors and patches over three projects instead of one with a functioning community is hardly the ideal OSS development model.
You need to add "to me" at the end of your sentence here, because you're making it sound like you think their post sounds a certain way objectively, when that's actually subjective and didn't sound that way at all to me.
I'm shocked this isn't being done already. But what on earth is the reasoning in this article? There are plenty of great reasons to do controlled burns, but for some reason the article says controlled burns are good because:

> purposeful burns have been used by Indigenous people to keep forests and wildland healthy for millenia.

When talking about the reason for overgrowth, the article talks about how it's the fault of Europeans who said controlled burns are primitive. The person they reference is not someone in the forest service, or someone who is an expert in this. They reference the "UC Davis professor of Native American Studies Beth Rose Middleton Manning".

Is this article supposed to be about controlled burns being put in California? Or is it supposed to be how the europeans were so stupid, native americans were so smart, and wildfires are the fault of westward expansion? Why not talk about more concrete reasons that controlled burns are good without appealing to it being opposite of racists?
They only have a 50% market-wide market share, but an effective monopoly in many verticals.

As cynical as this comment may be, there may be an element of truth to it. If it is time consuming to add a bunch of visual effects and transitions, you aren't likely to spend time doing that if you could instead be adding useful features.

So your argument is that making rules is hard so we shouldn't make rules?

The bare minimum standard of ethical behaviour is to not do things that harm other people. The ads I am referring to meet the test of causing harm to people that act based on the content presented. Plus they violate securities laws. It's pretty cut and dry for that case.
Hey, a comment that wasn’t a mile long.

And I notice you just made my point towards me, so I guess you agree then. Good!
Well a lot of times, they do, but it's often insufficient or falsely veiled in corporate speak that doesn't represent the situation, and indicates a misunderstanding or outright bias against the account holder.

I'd like to see regulation around warnings issues before bans, so that account holders may respond and change behavior or clarify the situation with support teams in good faith before the megacorp takes a harsh sweeping action.
And you did, at least, go through full ISO 9100 certification, as the minimum to make the long list of suppliers for flying parts.

It is becoming so frustrating to read all those tech bro comments, believing that doing some messy 3D printing is the same thing as manufacturing. Ignoring that the whole field of mechanical engineering exists.

Thinking like that, a bunch of millions, get you the Titan and five dead people. Add some billions and it gets you FSD and a bunch of dead people.

Oh, and accounting and cost calculation seems to be a black art as well...
