> It is important for the PZT coating to undergo a polarizing (poling) treatment prior to RTSC enablement, so that
optimal domain alignment is obtained within the ceramic coating, by subjecting the coating to a strong dc current
electric field, slightly below the Curie temperature (approx.200 0C, but possibly as high as 360 0C, depending on
PZT ceramic composition). Furthermore, to increase the probability of vibration in one particular direction, as well
as to alleviate the brittle nature of the ceramic material, it may be necessary to make the 'metallic' wire coating out of
a composite PZT and highly conductive polymer, such as p-Terphenyl [4]. Another option is to sandwich the PZT
ceramic in between two layers of aluminum, resulting in a wire design which may be planar rather than cylindrical
in nature. This composite coating design would amplify piezoelectrically-induced vibrations and possibly render
them unidirectional.

From LK99 rumors:

> At the beginning of 2020, Ji-Hoon Kim continued to do experiments as usual, suddenly he found a huge peak, he repeated the test + looked at his notes. But didn't find any special points. He started looking through the lab videos. He finally realized that the tube of sample came out with cracks on the quartz tube, and he hit his elbow on the table while transferring the sample out to the electronic scale. Introducing oxygen at the right moment + a violent impact would change the structure of the lead apatite crystals being formed.

May be something, may be nothing,

While I have no expertise in material science, it is definitely not some minecraft crafting - depending on the procedure, you may get only few percents of useful output that you may have no way to further purify.

At least for chemistry, it is often a completely different paper that introduces an efficient way for actually mass-producing the given chemical. The first one is more like a proof of concept throwaway code, if we want an analogy.

> Recently people are more focused on imposing their will on the others instead of compromising, however unsavory the other side may be.

How can you believe this when unsavoury compromise is the relationship of most of the world with the US?
wow

But ok, I'll give you that -- I prefer a unipolar world with US hegemony or whatnot rather than a multipolar world where I have to live in the Russian part (which by the way absolutely never respected the nations that it had subjugated, convince me that I'm wrong).
Youtube can and in some measure is already doing it without this new API. If google wanted to be sneaky they can provide whatever data they want to Youtube alone without making it a public standard. you see how all of these fears are contorted reasoning because you want to try to find something wrong with the proposal because all fo your fears do not require this proposals and would be easier and with much less backlash without a public standard API.

Just because the marketing dept calls it a "loss leader" doesn't mean it's not predatory pricing.

Whether a company crosses the line is defined by the impact it has on the market: if a company with enough market power uses that power to damage competitors, then this is deemed predatory. And, when it comes to Google, their history of leveraging their dominant lines of business to force an advantage in new markets, including via pricing, makes a good case for this.

If some spin-offs of a Google antitrust can't swim, let them drown.

Company policies aren't laws. Employees could be fired over it, but some would definitely take the risk, as they already do with providing mock interview services, moonlighting without receiving formal authorization, having 2 jobs, etc.
We need to get to a point where tech companies are more honest about their missions. E.g. Google's mission is not really "Organize the world's information", but rather, something like "Connect advertisers with the most relevant audiences through search".
I think inborn talent in a particular field is very real, and usually impresses people such that they can't help but say "you're talented". There is a separate quality that I would call industriousness, which determines whether a talented person will realize their potential, or whether an untalented person will develop the skill enough to make it anyways. Most of the people I have seen making it in the art world are actually industrious but untalented, and I would say we are far more likely to see this type of work everywhere we look. I think there's an ineffable spark I sometimes notice in a movie or whatever, and that's where a naturally talented – and – hardworking person got to make a dent. But yeah most works of art/film/music are mediocre due to having only the hardworking aspect.

Indeed. We live in interesting times. BRICS to the rescue!

I think you are stuck in the dialectic of Russia vs. USA - but the rest of the world is not so easily trapped.

If you'd prefer to live in the USA hegemony, its probably because you've been the recipient of its war treasure in some way - perhaps as a citizen or resident. But you would be best served in understanding this situation by actually looking at things from the perspective of the masses who have suffered under American boots for too long - the other side of the polarity of your desired hegemonic wealth: the people from whom it was stolen .. all you have to do is go for a non-tourist-package journey through the Americas .. or talk to a citizen of an African nation about the colonization of their continent by American-backed Western entities for decades...
Proton and Bitlocker and that MS SHIT always creeped me out. I work in IT so we have to use it but on an ideological level "Trusted computing" is weird. Feels like they want a console future where it is locked down af
The wild thing about this is that this isn't just a B2B fraud, but regular joes are hit with it as well and regular operators don't care.

My phone got stolen in Naples last year, just as I was about to board my plane. It was 11PM, so when I called my boss from my gf's phone he decided to block the number the next morning as he was in bed already. By the time the SIM was blocked, 10 hours had passed, and thieves had managed to place over 100 hours of very expensive toll calls to numbers in Algeria. It cost the company over 10k, and our operator was not willing to accept any responsibility over it. Admittedly, I turned off the PIN lock because my phone at the time would overheat and restart multiple times a day, but operators really should have lockouts on foreign payphone numbers, especially once they're being placed faster than a human can dial them.
> I don't think that is correct. Do you have an example? Linus is adament that "[they] do not break userspace".

I think you interpreted Linus wrong.
When he says "we do not break userspace" he is talking about the Kernel APIs that are exposed to the Userland.

Userland APIs would be stuff like glibc, which has a terrible track record in regards to API breakage.
Well, Bomber Harris is on record saying his strategy of terror bombing civilians in Germany was driven by revenge for the Blitz.
So I did look at the report you linked.

It's very high level and sparse .. even then the only references to emissions reductions (including carbon) were pretty much: "company must adhere to laws and regulations and must take into account the future emissions reductions that are governmental targets" (paraphrasing).'

I don't see how this is different from what I said. It does not rate how environmentally friendly the company is, it rates whether the company is in compliance with current and it has plans future regulations.

Edit: there is carbon emissions section that is helpfully labelled as one of the things that "CAN be tracked". So this seems to be optional and also the benchmark seems to be self determined by the company rated.
No worries, I hope I'm not under/overexplaining something!

The answer here is the standard one though: if you write $FOO to DOM, then read $BAR, it has to return $BAZ because it always used to return $BAZ, and we can't have breaking changes. All of the APIs are designed around synchronously updating the DOM, because asynchronous execution wasn't really planned in at the beginning.

You could add new APIs that do asynchronous writes and synchronous reads, but I think in practice this isn't all that important for two reasons:

Firstly, it's already possible to separate reads from writes using microtasks and other existing APIs for forcing asynchronous execution. There's even a library (fastdom) that gives you a fairly easy API for separating reads and writes.

Secondly, there are other reasons to use a VDOM or some other DOM abstraction layer, and they usually have different tradeoffs. People will still use these abstractions, even if the layout thrashing issue were solved completely somehow. So practically, it's more useful to provide the low-level generic APIs (like microtasks) and let the different tools and frameworks use them in different ways. I think there's also not a big push for change here: the big frameworks are already handing this issue fine and don't need new APIs, and smaller sites or tools (including the micro-framework that was originally posted) are rarely so complicated that they need these sorts of solutions. So while this is a real footgun that people can run into, it's not possible to remove it without breaking existing websites, and it's fairly easy to avoid if you do run into it and it starts causing problems.
Good, that solved cryptocurrency theft.
Backporting packages is a time-consuming process that actually requires skill. It is insane to expect people to do that for free on a volunteer basis because it makes your situation easier, especially as backporting gets harder the longer you go. RHEL offers 10 years, it costs money, that's your option. Or you pay for the staff to monitor and backport to your particular distro and foot the bill.

It's also maddening to present the issue as "our time is expensive and your time is free". If your field is unable to commit any work at all to updates, fine. UBI Micro is as small as its gonna get and moves everything difficult to the host. That could conceivably run for 15 years if you are careful with how you build it.
Yep, way out of my budget and I would probably get quite a bit of use out of it.

It is probably a very fair price for what you are getting and the work that's gone into the R&D.

Looks like I'll be investigating DIY options...
There is a very good reason. It is hard to split bugfixes from features. Sometimes it is even very hard to fix a bug without changing the behaviour. It is unreasonable to expect everyone to backport their fixes to all old versions.
These models are basically just very good auto complete, the fact that they are even sometimes right is amazing.

The crypto element is entirely optional and can be hidden with two tickboxes. Maybe they'll start pushing it harder, at which point someone will come along and fork it, and I'll have to copy my bookmarks over to the New Thing. It's an eternal cycle.

There was a time, some years ago, when Firefox on Linux had become very slow, so I had to switch to Chrome as my main browser.

Regardless which is my main browser, I have to keep both around, because they have different bugs, so there are rare cases with some sites that work well only with one of them.

A few months ago something happened with Chrome, which abruptly (after a version upgrade) has begun to start only after a very long and annoying delay. Perhaps it attempts to connect to some Internet address blocked by the firewall and it gives up only after a timeout.

In any case, this sudden slowdown of Chrome made me switch back to Firefox as my main browser, which is OK now, because Firefox on Linux has become fast again and it no longer has any noticeable speed difference vs. Chrome. Also some problems that Firefox had when playing YouTube videos have been solved.
Tesla is not a great analogy for this. Their lowest priced vehicle is only just below the average sales price of all new cars and that vehicle excludes the Tesla brand features that Apple would not strip out of their product. And that is when the average vehicle sales price has increased 10k in the last four years. So for the analogy to work Apple would effectively have to strip down their device to the point that it is just an expensive copy cat Quest and Meta would have to raise prices 50% (to be fair, the price rise might happen).
It wouldn't be considered an insult from those many who liked the book, is my meaning. Just that the parent didn't seem to me to be especially insulting
My experience with kalman filters is that it is important to reflect that what you are measuring (the output) actually has one true value, and not a range of values.

Determining a position of something has one true value (unless you go into quantum mechanics) while many things may not, such as hardness of a piece of wood, color of a car temperature in a lake etc. All of these may vary depending on the position you measure.

You may be fooled by thinking that since the kalman filter outputs a value and an uncertainty that it actually incorporates the uncertainty in the output parameter. But it is not the same.

An example. If you have a measurement between 0 and 1 that is 0.2. And then get another measurement that is 0.8. The filter will be more certain that the output is 0.5, than with only one measuerement of 0.2. Instead of widening the uncertainty as the intuition may tell you.
The problem I see with this idea is that MS doesn't really have much leverage to push Edge on people any more. People aren't just using Windows PCs for their web browsing these days; lots of people are using mobile devices, and many don't even have PCs any more. Google and Apple control the mobile device market (roughly half and half, though it depends on which country you're in too).

If a bunch of websites suddenly required Edge on Windows to view, they'd lose a majority of their visitors.
in permutations the ordering of the individual elements is important (a different order of exactly the same elements is a different permutation), but it's irrelevant in uber shaders. they should just say combinations (different elements are toggled on and off).
1. Opened Vivaldi email
2. Opened settings
3. Didn't see the option

I saw it when I touched the Mail.app, though

So tell me again why complaining about the lack of the most basic thing: being able to configure your system via a dedicated system configuration app is "invented drama"

Your explanation is also irrelevant as it doesn't address the issue why it's NOT in the system settings app, not why it's also in some other app
>But that would be the same thing on windows. If you dynamically link your executable to an old version of libcurl and run your executable on a windows with a newer version containing a breaking change, you'll be in trouble, whatever your OS.

Most of the time I can run a program from the 1990s on Windows 11 just fine, you can't say the same for Linux.

The only incompatibility in Windows that happens frequently is if you try to run a program written for a newer Windows version in an older version. That will likely fail because forwards compatiblity isn't a priority. But with regards to backwards compatiblity, Microsoft goes to herculean efforts to make sure Windows programs written several decades ago will work today.

> I kind of wished Apple would release Safari for other platforms again.

It's barely maintained even on their own platforms. If they could stabilize and not break localStorage, indexdb or forms every other week, that would already be a great start before thinking of other platforms.
Why 'half broken "phone"'?
I used GrapheneOS for a while now, it works pretty well imho, the only problem I encountered till now is with maps. Finding a good and no-play-services maps app is a major issue. I use OsmAnd and it's quite mediocre compared to Play Services based options. With that (important) exception, I love the de-googled experience. The funny part is that to be de-googled the best choice is buying... a Google Pixel phone.
There is a very good reason: the maintainers want to make the change. They don't even need a good technical need to do it, but usually there is at least something that drives the change.
IE was absolutely hated for not evolving. I'm curious what "its own vision" was, other than "do as little as possible, while Mozilla and Opera keeps pushing forward."

Now, this is from the perspective of the web developer. I don't think IE was ever hated the same way from the end-user perspective.

Chrome is still innovating, but now end-users hate it, because it's trying to be too much. The "new IE" hat still belongs to Safari.
.com matters now as many people know that is a very common ending of the url. Once years pass as people know about other possibilities, it matters less and less.
I need to read this article more carefully at another time, but it comes across as rather confused to me.

> Some time near the end of the 1990s and beginning of the 2000s is when desktop/laptop computer quality began to improve.

What does this mean? Computer quality has continuously improved since their inception. At different times on different axes, and sometimes some things got worse, but on the whole they've always improved.

> Not one of those libraries has Internet.

I can't figure out which libraries are referred to here. Tons of libraries have internet.

The article also seems to be confusing hardware and software a lot. Lots of hardware is thrown away too easily because modern software often tends to assume it's run on modern hardware where it can waste resources. Software should be more frugal in its use of resources and if you do, there's no technical reason you can't have modern, secure software running on 15 year old hardware.
People have all kinds of weird excuses for not using Firefox.

Sometimes it feels like "Sure, Chrome sold my kids data to human traffickers. But I can't switch to Firefox because I really _need_ MIDI-2 over websocket support"

Sure, FF is not perfect but a lot of issues is due to sites being optimised for webkit and that will not change as long as Chrome has 80% marketshare. You need to sacrifice a little for freedom.

Every time I bought something direct from his website, I got a quick thank you email. I think that's what is meant - not that he writes to you if you buy it in the bookstore.
Maybe not, but you could be in a bit of a bubble regarding the average website deployment method.
In my experience as a webdev most website are still very much deployed in a way that’s controllable by those who would put up such an alert.
The problem is rather political. Any organization with a website relevant enough to make such a popup worthwhile would never agree to have such a popup alienating its largest share of visitors.
Small independent sites would, but they would be pretty much preaching to the choir.
This is also how I remember it. "getfirefox.com" is burned into memory from ages ago, the first real competitor to IE. Everyone wanted to switch to it.

Then chrome came along and people reluctantly switched at first, then enthusiastically. Firefox had the reputation of eating RAM like candy.
