I dont think anything has changed. JPEG XL being supported by Apple would only be 20% of user world wide. Assuming every one uses it. According to the initial Google thread this is likely not considered as high enough interest.

With Google's study [1], by Google's Engineer, JPEG XL is no where near good enough compared to AVIF.

None of the above facts have changed since Google Chrome's decision on JPEG XL.

The coolest physical thing I've made?

I make small gametes, and I found someone who makes large gametes. We put them together and made mutated replicas of ourselves. The first experiment has been running over 3,500 days. The second experiment has been running almost 1,400 days, but it's currently significantly louder and more prone to violence. We're very proud of them both.
I feel exactly the same. Not going down this route around the same time I probably would've gone Windows 7 -> Windows 10 -> Windows 11 and had to deal with all that brings with it.

Instead going fully Linux had its pain points, but the learning, exposure to everything and the experience was well worth it. Looking back, so many of the issue I ran into ~10 years ago barely exist today - at least I rarely run into those kind of hurdles either due to more experience or the ecosystem just being quite stable and mature now.
List of items should have Linear Algebra. It is by far the most useful topic that could be done outside of the Calculus sequence because it can help you with Machine Learning / computer science in general and even quantum computing. (Quantum computing is not really as important now ).
What are the official numbers for that, compared to the legitimate traffic the IRS handles?
Some mighty impressive posts here!

Rather more modestly - made a esp32 PWM fan controller that hooks into home assistant. Nothing wild, but it did open my eyes to the fact that I can duplicate most IoT stuff on my own terms despite being an amateur. And that in turn has takes it from "IoT - not in my house" to "yes lets do more IoT".
I think there are just as many reasons to avoid Manjaro and Arch as there are to avoid Ubuntu, maybe even more for Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a mess.

That does not work currently because there is no way to configure the agent with a Minio URL. That's just an oversight on our part though, I'll get that working within a few days.

Another great topic is infinite set theory (not just naive set theory as the author mentioned) touching on the transfinite cardinals. Maybe a little advanced, but if you can just get to the part where you see how there are different "sizes" of infinity, it can help a lot to understand how infinity is not a number but instead more a way of describing trends in a mathematical process over time. Sort of adjacent to Calculus in the sense of wrangling with infinity, but decidedly different since it's dealing with discrete mathematics.
Okay - yes, it would make a lot of sense as a Kafka alternative to those of us who prefer to stay away from the public clouds.

> The PRs are really good but there's no way to talk to the actual developer working behind those PRs.

I'd really like an avenue to get into the US market as a remote worker, but am being unfairly treated by this job market. It is a pity as I am both a highly skilled programmer and have nearly a decade of experience. I'd consider this service if it could serve to showcase my skills, but if I am not going to get any credit for doing the work personally, there doesn't seem to be much point to it.
Well, another ideas used for identity in the crypto world was having a twitter account for more than a specific time period, and a number of followers. So I was considered unidentifiable as a person because I had a Twitter account that did not have the requisite number of followers - so I couldn't get test network tokens for development work. SMH.

Limited partners (pension funds) are paying for this aspirational idea (less any funds from selling tokens perhaps) while a16z will pocket a Venture Capital fee.

Lots of money sitting around might as well roll the dice.
Then twitter.com becomes X, and you're doomed.

Seriously though, I've setup accounts on Site foo, but then bar buys them, and two years later it's on Baz.com, and if I don't remember the switch(es) that woudld/could suck.

I don't know about the physics, but it's an engineering "in mice".

They got more energy out of the plasma than they put in with the lasers, yes. But lasers are only a few percent efficient, and there are huge losses geting the power to the lasers from the capacitor banks (losses are proportional to the square of current, and we're talking very large currents). And there a further inefficiencies up the chain. Overall energy output would be well less than a thousandth of the energy put in. And it was generated only for a tiny fraction of a second.

Down-chain, actually being able to use the generated energy is its own chain of losses and inefficiencies.

TLDR; don't expect to see commercial fusion any time soon, or maybe in your lifetime.

>In most of Europe this isn't very applicable

You're mistaken. In most of Europe thermodynamics are still very much applicable, lack of AC doesn't mean your hot computer doesn't make your room warmer anymore, so extra heat from an old inefficient computer still ends up in your house, raising your ambient temperature and making you uncomfortable (in the summer) regardless if you have AC or not.

Lack of AC doesn't make the "hot computer making my room warm" problem go away, it just makes it a better case for investing in thermally efficient electronics because you have no AC to vent it out with.
It’s good, Larian did a great job with DOS1/2 so I expected it would be a great game. I’m surprised this many people are playing it, but maybe Baldur’s Gate and DND are part of why. My only complaint is the combat is a little underwhelming, it feels like there’s less depth than DOS1/2 because of how actions/movement use separate pools instead of unified AP, where better positioning can net you more attacks per turn.

No, “doublethink” is the term introduced in Orwell’s 1984.
It's relatively safe to assume that a $200 CPU contains less than $200 worth of embodied energy. And while the energy used to manufacture the CPU will be cheaper than what a European pays at the outlet, it's not that much cheaper.
I don’t, not anymore. I use the annoyance lists for uBlock origin, click on “deny” on smaller sites, use the AdNauseam browser extension on every desktop browser to poison the wells of advertisers, switched to iOS from Android, installed LuLu on macOS and deny programs internet access if they don’t need it…

I was never particularly privacy conscious. I was “normal”. Now that my fucking GPU driver spies on me, I think I’m rightfully becoming slowly paranoid about it.
And you don't need a magic orb to do it. You can do it in the US through the mysterious buildings referred to as "unemployment offices" by changing the signs and opening twice as many. It would also be amazing to use these buildings to match employers and the unemployed, but that's obviously asking far too much of government.
Downvoters: Why should I give respect to my neighbour?

i'm not sure if you're trying to back up my point or disagree, but yeah. they're trying to hide the money as much as possible. that's why it's so bad. it is collusion, so if there's no appearance of it that's a problem.

if the government is going to be paying the media to report on them, that needs to happen in the open.
Yeah. He describes log monitoring as harder than it actually is, but even if he were completely right, what are you supposed to do instead?

As someone who's been doing async-fanout physical-replication of Postgres instances for the longest time using pgBackRest's S3 repo support (the primary writes to S3; the replicas read from S3; the primary's uplink doesn't get saturated serving the writes) I've always wondered where the equivalent for message-queue systems was. Glad to see it :)
I'm curious, is there a standard benchmark any one knows of that compares "practical usefulness" of LLMs instead of tries to make them take some kind of useless IQ test?

Sure. There are a lot of kit manufacturers out there, offering a wide range of aircraft styles and purposes from back-country to aerobatic to long-range cruise airplanes and more. Materials can include aluminum, fiberglass, wood-and-fabric, and others. The EAA[1] has a lot of information about the various kits. I went with a Vans[2] which are very popular kits with a huge volunteer support/help community online and offline. They list kit prices on their web site, but they are exclusive of engine, propeller and avionics, which can be significant. Fortunately, since it takes a looong time to build, these costs can be spread out over many years to make it manageable. I got my pilot certificate 20 years ago when it wasn't as expensive as today. Not sure how much a PPL will run you these days.

Math competitions are fun for recreation but the topics they cover tend not to be very productive for educational purposes. Enrichment topics actually broaden a student’s mathematical foundation, preparing them for a career in pure mathematics much better than the “calculus path”, which is focused on applied math for science and engineering.

NixOS is not an obvious choice if you want to become a "Linux super-user." It takes a very unconventional approach to package management, building and configuring your system. All great for what it is but not going to teach you the conventional Linux way of doing things.

I don't know if this is still the case but when installing Arch, it used to be that you would start with a very basic set of essential packages and then build everything up from scratch. That is a great way to become a power user. However I thought the whole point of Manjaro was that it's an Arch variant which does a bunch of that for you, so Manjaro's a weird choice for this guide.

Edit: Looks like doing a vanilla Arch install is still pretty gangsta: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/installation_guide#Install_...
The problem is that you create such links by default. I should not be able to open a link to a specific conversation and view that conversation 1. Unless I'm logged in and I have specific permission to view that item or 2. I have actively created a 'sharable' link.

People can type anything into these boxes, and if it's PII then you're on the hook for GDPR (not to mention the California equivalents) and implicit sharing and security through obscurity are not viewed favorably under those laws.
I'm confused about the pricing. The pricing page shows this PR as an example of a "small" PR of 15 "credits". I have a hard time agreeing that this change is worth $150: https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/pull/8218/files

When seeing $10/credit, I thought a PR this small would be just one or two credits. I'd totally pay $150 to fix 10-15 such small bugs, but only one? Am I missing something?

I'm not sure there's an out of the box mechanism for this, but imo if this is a risk to your extension, then you as the developer should have a mitigation for it.
As per your link, it's only "seemingly" contradictory - that is, it emphasizes that as soon as the (previous) king dies, the (new) king is automatically immediately in office to be wished a long life, without needing to wait for any coronation ceremony. This is the rule in many monarchies past and present, though not all. So, imagine that the (old) king dies at the end of the first clause and therefore the (new) king takes office at the beginning of the second.
The luminosity is the signal:

This is exactly what signal to noise ratio refers to in my previous comment.

The best solution is what the iPhone does: it is a 3d sensor that produces a depth map (think each pixel represents a distance to the object). But that's not really viable when trying to use normal security cameras.

There is nothing forbidding dating outside the same college in most cases, but it can be very impractical. At my school for example, Caltech, the work load was very high leaving limited time for social activities, only a small fraction of students had cars, public transit was not very good, and there weren't many places within walking distance of campus you'd be likely to meet potential dates.

At the time (~1980) among undergraduates Caltech was about 15% female, 85% male. There were probably some who did make off campus dating work but I never heard about it.

Even if a significant fraction could make off campus dating work, with that much of an on campus imbalance the ratio of the remaining males looking for an on campus date to on campus females would still likely be large and that's pretty annoying for everyone, but especially so for the women who if they were not currently dating were being constantly hit on.
Any tips on how to use it locally this way?
> is that you often have to multiply the watt difference by 3x (or 4x) when you factor in cooling (air conditioning I mean, in regards to how to dissipate that heat generation, in your home).

Where are you getting these numbers from? Typical central air CoP (Coefficient of Performance) even when it's > 100 F outside is at least 2, typically 3-5. Assuming based on current outdoor temp the CoP is 3, it'll remove 100 W of heat with 33 W of energy. So instead of 100 W -> 300-500 W you're looking at 100 W -> 133 W total.

The problem with regulatory capture is it makes everybody look bad.

The usual morality play is either the evil business hurting people who has to be stopped by the benevolent government regulators, or the evil government regulators hurting innocent businesses who are just trying to make a living and keep prices down and keep jobs from moving offshore.

To which the traditional solutions are either more regulations that businesses don't like or fewer regulations that businesses don't like.

Regulatory capture is when the villains of both sides are working together, and the solution to it is fewer regulations that big businesses do like. But nobody wants to see their hero as a villain so anything that accurately portrays this is unpopular.

I've made a bunch of cancer-causing virus as a grad student. After all the COVID lab leak stuff, it's become a story I need to preface with the fact that it was all zero-risk in terms of leaking out of the lab, and the only person at risk was myself.

The virus was specifically missing the ability to replicate, but it did have the ability to infect cells in a dish. That means it was just BSL-2 stuff. Our lab studied cancer, so we'd mostly infect them with cancer-causing things like a mutated PI3K that would fluoresce so we could track it in the cell with a microscope. If people are curious, we'd mostly work with lentivirus.

i like to be more direct and outright state that everyones position in the greater order is that of a contributor to a better world. there is nothing else that is required from the individual besides that.

i find that this is important because an "understanding of what the actual position of the individual is in the greater universal order" also works when i say "your position is to be a slave, deal with it."

so moving towards an understanding of the position of the individual is not enough. we also need to be clear that this position is the same for everyone, and that we are all part of this equally. there is no hierarchy.

combine that with the realization that progress is only achievable through collaboration and you realize that if we want to solve the worlds problems we need to contribute and collaborate.
Hardwood desktop for a sit/stand desk frame. Made from walnut planks ranging in width from 3-6" and length of ~5ft bought via mail order.

The fun thing about wood projects is you can cover up mistakes pretty easily and for big mistakes just make the project smaller.
Program synthesis by a language model is certainly cool, but I don't think it's really novel. After all, the mutator could as well just be a random AST transformer.

So what's the real deal here? Does the mutator end up with a usable program much quicker? Or does it cheat by looking at the test cases?

As an example, if I specify a md5 hash function on strings, what will that tool produce?
A long time ago I made a needlepoint for my mother out of one of her favorite photos. I thought needlepoint was interesting because it's basically pixel art except much more laborious since each pixel requires a physical stitch. I ended up writing a program to transform the photo into a needlepoint pattern, and for a while I turned it into a website for folks wanting to generate their own patterns.

I wish I had the patience to do something like that today, but there are so many other distractions.

How do they control for situations where the sign is displaying a traffic alert that preempts the informational display?

Presumably, if the sign is displaying "congestion ahead" warnings, then traffic has often already slowed to a crawl, which could lead to a few percentage point decrease in crashes.

Also, unless the signs were placed poorly, they're likely in high-congestion areas, and frequently toggling between normal and congested display modes.
So robots.txt is meaningless if they have to violate it to check for malicious content in blocked off pages anyways.
