Who's implying these people are seeking truth? They are seeking a short cut to do what they want. Police just want a closed case, and if they think you did it, you did it. Coercion just makes the amount of time they have to spend on it much less.
I tried to find some Oracle contributions to gcc and I could find none. See gtk contributors - https://puri.sm/posts/proud-to-be-top-contributor-to-gtk4/ and being a RHEL clone, they actually ship this stuff by default.

They might have an occasional commit or two but clearly they can't stand behind their own promise of developing/supporting an EL distro the way Red hat does. I also don't see it changing tbh. I don't see troves of Open source engineers at Red Hat(or other companies) making a bee line for joining Oracle.
What I want to see is someone dump the FPGA in these Micro Converters and hack it to add an USB interface. The Micro Converters are all just the same in the interior: SerDes units and clock/redrivers on the I/O ports and an FPGA that additionally has an USB connection which is used to power the converter but could also be used to do other things.

That FPGA should be powerful enough to do a lot of interesting things - anything from fooling around with commands (like with the Arduino board) to image manipulation (e.g. a watermark embed).
I have no issues with people exercising their personal choices when it comes to the number of spaces after a period. However, I found it to be quite annoying when they began complaining about my preference for a single space and asserting that their method of using two spaces is more correct than mine. Ultimately, I've come to the realization that this is more akin to a matter of personal belief rather than a technicality. It seems nearly impossible to bridge the gap and find a consensus on this issue.
Their earbuds(1) are the worst piece of hardware I've ever owned, and they won't fix it or accept that the problem is on their end, with support just telling you to repair them. ANR drops out all the time, and they tend to just not connect, forcing you to put them back in the case and take them out again until it works.

Both are very popular complaints and they haven't gotten an update in months. Definitely not inspiring confidence in any of their hardware and it turned me off of it for the foreseeable future, even though I probably would have been in the market for their phone otherwise. These things are expensive and I expect something to work if I spend money on something that is advertised as quality hardware.
Is that really useful considering they're on the back of the phone? I mean, maybe if something's taking so long you're going to put it down while waiting.. but otherwise I don't want to turn my phone around to see it. Cute, but seems rather gimmicky.

This is common behavior for inference based learners who don’t hail from strong academic backgrounds. Many developers who are self taught utilize a similar method of learning, essentially using pattern recognition to make “educated guesses” that are then internalized as potential facts and tested at the earliest opportunity. In this instance the test was to project the incorrect information out onto a public forum containing experts and using the presence of contradiction as weak evidence to the validity of their newfound knowledge.

Yes, this is done in lieu of actually looking up extended details on what something means. It has it’s advantages though.

Digital forensics does not work this way. It is very rare when many digital evidence line up and imply that an actual person did or did not do something in the digital realm. A user account that shows up in an Excel file is absolutely insufficient to tie a person to the keyboard.

> it wouldn't show the inconsistent styling.

This is also inconsistent how digital forensics works. It can imply that something changed, but nothing about who, when, and why. It could have been an incorrectly propagated filter, or coloring, template, or functions.

I had testicular cancer in 2006 in Chile. I was a teenager so I went with the public system (AUGE back then). My parents friends were giving the condolences for my soon to occur death. The doctors had a laugh as in the last 10 years (by then) my chances of dying of it became basically nil.

Last year we hired a new guy at $JOB that 1 week after being hired was diagnosed with testicular cancer too. He really thought he was gonna die. He was at stage 4 (which is a highly zone specific metric). Last time I saw him he is still coding and more bald. It was more difficult to sort payments than the treatment as he is in the US.

I bought one with an AMD 4800U in early 2022 to be used as a cheap, dedicated Linux device for work (mostly Remote Desktop plus some local docker development environments) and it’s been rock solid for me.

Your mileage may vary, but I’ve been happy enough with mine for the price that I had already decided I would be choosing Beelink for my next mini PC over a NUC.

That said, I have seen some mixed reports of some issues around thermal throttling and eGPU support for some of the newer gaming focused ones, but I think if you have realistic expectations given the form factor (and especially if you’re not going for gaming) then they are fairly reliable and sturdy little devices.

* Also note, I bought mine barebones and added my own ram and SSD. I can’t speak to the quality of what they ship with, but I also haven’t heard any complaints from others with that regard.

The only thing I can think of that would prevent easy copying in the SaaS world would be to have most or all of your data generated by users, and then doggedly protecting that data from scraping, and/or hiding it behind a login.

Otherwise, if your business relies on scraping other peoples data and then presenting a nice UI around that, it could just as easily be replicated by others (no moat, as we're saying nowadays).

Of course, much like the niche chemical salesman, maybe the ideal scraping business would be to find such a niche that is small enough that other people wouldn't find it worthwhile to replicate your SaaS.

I'd like to extrapolate this further.

Don't make yourself independent from the experience. If you're already enjoying yourself, you will enjoy the taste (of whatever is in debate) even more. You will associate the taste with the story of its creation as well as your personal experience. Aim for the memorable experience with family/friends over consuming "the best" (sometimes it can be the same thing!) and you will enjoy it far more often. It took a long time to convince my ever-optimization-focused brain to choose this path.

And a corollary to this argument is to never look down on someone for enjoying something you don't like - they simply found a way to experience joy where you didn't.

Placebos are known to work. I neither overestimate nor underestimate them. I understand them for what they are: placebos. And some people actually need them.

Moreover, in social contexts, religion also "works" in many senses. A person asked me what me what can he do about depression and feeling of meaninglessness. Science would prescribe anti-depressants, medicate him and he would both have side-effects and the problem would never be cured. I suggested that if he were religious, the meaninglessness would immediately go away and he would need no medication, no external interventions.

So again, judging religion by "what can it do", it can successfully give people meanings. Which is quite non-trivial thing that science fails to do to many people. So religion can be presumed to be acting on some truths regarding what drives and gives people meanings. Religion successfully demonstrated an understanding of that, you don't need statistical analysis or peer review to see that, it's plainly obvious. That knowledge just doesn't carry on to other stuff like how celestial bodies move, and there's no reason to think it does.

I love how you're the spokesperson for "science".

Ironically, when you look at how you describe the merits of peer review, you sound quite like an instrumentalist yourself.

Also quite ironically, the new science religion keep on pushing this funny narrative that science is about "being wrong all the time" which is like the complete opposite of scientific history. All of the established science is just the successes. Look at the great physicists. There is no mistake in Newton's laws. Or in Einstein's. They are just as valid today as they have been back then, in the areas where they were demonstrated and studied.

How did we reach this apologetic science? "good scientist will be wrong all the time"? That sounds like gaslighting scientists in a failed system rather than accurate historical statement. Science advances because someone eventually succeeds. In the grand scheme of things, there are no mistakes. There are corrections, there are expanding the domain of applicability. But the mistakes are sent to the trashbin of history, and if a failed system decided to gaslight you into rationalizing failure, stop listening to it and start seeking success.
It should be noted that this kind of spying is possible only if both the phone manufacturer and the carrier are willing (or forced) to cooperate. Otherwise, short of using social engineering to make someone install malware on their cellphone, it would be much harder to achieve.

It is a supply and demand effect. Prices aren’t generated based on a fixed markup over costs.

It’s way more expensive to fly into smaller regional hubs like Charlotte because the supply of airlines that want to maintain a presence there is smaller than a national hub like New York City.

That’s how you get these upstart airlines that take over a corner of the US when the prices get too high. Then the big airlines drop their prices to compete because the supply went up.

No. If you implement these systems, the model outputs the sentence it guessed and the confidence the user said that sentence. The activation logic is tuned so it triggers on pretty low confidence so the more sophisticated system can try working on the actual command.
I'm a strong advocate for right to repair... that being said, user serviceability is something that has to be explicitly defined as a requirement. However, just because something is difficult to service, doesn't mean it was designed with that in mind.

For example, designing a flex PCB with a 90 degree bend and a small inner radius like you might see on a mipi display or camera makes it extremely difficult to service, but has very little effect on initial assembly. If you design it for serviceability, you might do 2x 45 degree bends or a rounded pcb plus a stiffener above the mezzanine connector, reducing the chance it may tear or have broken joints.

I guess what I'm saying is just because it hasn't been designed to be serviced, doesn't mean it was designed to be unserviceable.

A possible solution is to make the hydrogen by electrolysis of brine. This can make hydrogen and chlorine (and alkali) instead of hydrogen and oxygen.

If the chlorine is released into the troposphere during the day, it is quickly photolysed (in about 10 minutes at noon) into chlorine radicals, which near instantly react with methane, extracting a hydrogen atom. It should be possible for this to more than make up for small leaks of methane (or to counteract other independent sources of methane).

https://xkcd.com/538/

Ha. Ha. Suddenly everyone's an expert in what constitutes detention. There's actually a big difference between "literally not detaining" someone and not detaining someone.

I think the detention naysayers in this thread have failed to consider that the people who practice this type of behavior are experts. Frequently the whole business of these interrogators is to make sure that someone is "not literally" detained, but that they are in fact detained, in the sense that they do not feel free to leave. In this way, the interrogator has not committed a crime or malfeasance by falsely detaining a person, but they isolate them and make them feel as though they need to answer questions.

The worst part is that there is almost no clear coaching for how a person is supposed to get through this type of situation. With the police, we can give clear advice: (1) ask "am I being detained or am I free to leave?" (2) Refuse to engage in conversation; (3) Ask for a lawyer. But these aren't police. They will tell you that you are not being detained. They have a few hundred dollars of your money and maybe a bunch of your clothes, and they just need you to answer a few questions before you get on the plane.

What are you going to say? "I refuse to answer questions without a lawyer"? "I refuse to remain in this tiny office answering questions"? Ok. Great. You're banned, and maybe turned over to TSA for a real custodial interrogation for acting so suspiciously at an airport.

Anyway, all this to say that your word games with "literally" this and that are not clever because this is actually much worse than a real custodial interrogation because the rights and obligations are much less clear and that lack of clarity accrues to the corporation's advantage.

The doublethink I hear on unions is crazy.

- They constantly bitch about how horrible unions are

- Oh, {insert company here} workers voted to unionize? the unions just gonna fuck 'em over

- All the people they started with who moved to unions are retired with well funded retirement funds and they really should have gone union when they were young.
I'm not sure these comments help much. The sophistication of these attacks increases a lot as well as the error/noise. Security is never infinite, it is always probabilistic. Mostly it is about putting enough roadblocks in the way of your adversary so that they don't have the resources to attack you (time, money, and/or skill). This is why the discussion of a threat scenario is always critical because that's what bounds this. I'm sure they'd have an easier time hacking your phone to get a view of your screen than it would to pull off either of the above hacks. So, removing the microphones is going to significantly hinder any adversary and lets be honest, unless you're a high profile target that's being attacked by a nation state, this will be far more than sufficient to ward off any would be attackers (including even many nation state attacks).

But as far as interesting and what is possible, these comments are that.

> That't literally the only place where operator overloading makes any sense.

That may be true for C++ (I'll take your word for it), but not for all programming languages in general. For example, in C# it's fairly common to overload == and != to implement value equality for reference types (classes).

Of course, you should really only do this for immutable classes that are mostly just records of plain old data. And C# 9 introduced record classes, which is a more convenient way of defining such classes. But record classes still overload these operators themselves, so you don't have to do it manually.
