It is indeed amazing how you can order nearly any single old part at a Porsche center: if you've got the PET catalog reference, even better. And the people at the counter there for "new old" parts do know their job: you explain them which part you need, the number you think it is, and more often then not they'll find it in no time, warn you about this or that similar but not identical part, that other part you'll then need too, how complicated the replacement procedure is, etc.

Now for some stuff and in case bootleg ones exist, you better buy the bootleg part for it's going to be much cheaper.

Or eBay, parts from crashed cars (you often see a photo of the "donor", crashed, car). Had the "roof console" going cuckoo before I got the extended manufacturer warranty so it was on me (and they wouldn't sell me the warranty unless I fixed it)... Turns out the roof console depends on which extra the car has (like "homelink" to open your garage door or not, the color of the interior, etc.). So it's a part that has to be made specifically for your car: Porsche quoted me something like 765 EUR for the part + one hour of work + VAT (something silly like 1100 EUR altogether). I found a nearly identical part on eBay for... 48 EUR and installed it myself in literally 5 minutes. 48 EUR vs 1100 EUR.

Also some people on forums are very good at finding which company is manufacturing that one very identical part for Porsche, but without the Porsche logo on it: gonna be way cheaper too and it's literally the same part. One example would be a Porsche battery charger which is just a CTEK charger with the CTEK logo replace by a Porsche one and sold 2x the price (not the best example as better example would be actual car parts but you get the idea).

This is something I have been trying to work on lately - just cramming my head full of stuff that can be processed in the ol' background thread.

What I have found is that sometimes, some seemingly innocuous thing I read years ago will pop out at just the right moment, some neural connection forms and all of a sudden I have the basis of a whole rabbit hole of interesting thoughts.

I think it's important to fill your mind with good stuff, things that have the necessary depth and maybe enough subjectivity that they're ripe for that kind of background processing. You are probably not going to have deep interesting thoughts about Twilight (although maybe you will, no judgment.) But philosophy, poetry, great fiction, even religious texts - they're all crammed with symbolism and really reward re-reads and deep thoughts.

A recent example of this for me is Kazuo Ishiguro's book The Remains of the Day. It was mentioned on a podcast I like and so I picked it up on something of a whim during a library visit.

The book is about a butler who served a "great English house" and when I started it I was deeply skeptical that I would enjoy it. But it's a great example of the kind of work that really bears out for thinking on, and since I finished it I've really enjoyed turning things over in my mind. I'm usually a genre fiction guy (sci-fi, horror) and a lot of those books just don't have the same depth.

I don't mean to disparage "light reading" because I'm truly not that kind of. snide intellectual douche. But it's really fascinating sort of watching your brain pick something apart that warrants deep thought, and it's a really cool feeling to be in some discussion with my wife and think "oh my god, that bit from the introduction of book XYZ is so perfect right now, I need to share it and talk about it."

One other book that I've really enjoyed the "post-processing" phase on is The Essential Rumi - the Coleman Barks translation. Those little poems are so rich and full of meaning, and it's seriously rewarding to let your brain go to town on them.

He's moved from lecturing and hectoring people with some authority, because of how good an engineer and guitarist he is, and how successful he's been in the industry, to being a guy who lectures and hectors people about morality with absolutely no authority.

And? Unless your cutoff point for "bad enough to care about privacy" is the literal holocaust, that doesn't change a single thing about what I've said in a single one of my comments.

It turns out that amazingly, it is possible for multiple things to both be very bad -- bad enough to prompt action and concern -- while not being the exact same amount of bad. It is remarkable, but true. For example, sometimes you might put your hand on a stove and it might be hot enough to burn your skin, but also not as hot as the surface of the heckin sun -- and somehow your hand will still be burned. It's just incredible the way that continuums work.

Look, I've donated $5 to the EFF in your name, which I'm hopeful will allow me to more easily internalize that convincing one singular person online that privacy didn't become obsolete when Hitler died is not a good use of my time or energy. Nobody is going to read down this far so there's nobody else at this point who's sake I'm arguing for; and HN is enough of a privacy-supportive forum that very few people on here needed to be convinced you were wrong anyway.

In contrast to things like the civil rights movement, transgender rights, abortion rights, and so on, this argument we're having right now is actually something that only affects a single person and is not worth the trouble. I shouldn't have gotten pulled into it; I make this mistake far too often. And I think that $5 is enough to offset any potential social impact you would have in this thread.

So for example I implemented a YOLO alternative from their paper. You’ll have to do something similar and show results.

Then getting a job is a completely different skill and you’ll be looking at a job on the margins. Keep backup options in lower pay jobs in startups or in non tech companies if your dream jobs don’t pan out.

It could take 6 months to 9 months to understand the content and then 6-9 months to get a job. IF you are okay with that … then do it.

Having ML + software eng background is really good spot to be in.
Is it a feature of the task manager itself? Or possibly a feature of the list, which switches to multi-select mode wheb ctrl is held?

If the latter is true, it might work in explorer, too, which shuffles files around when displaying network drives or directory entries change.

Also note that when you press this button in control center, it displays a small banner to the effect off “all Bluetooth devices disconnected until tomorrow”.

This is interesting to me. How would the DNS work without touching the internet? Or do you mean to say that only DNS touches the internet and rest of the site would be offline?

If I made some cool security-camera image-recognition project with YOLO and wanted to sell installs to my friends in the area, would I need touch their DNS settings too? Personally: I feel uncomfortable changing settings on other folk's routers. If I could get away with helping them set a static IP without touching anything else, I'd much prefer it.
NTP will step the clock instead of slewing it if the offset exceeds a threshold, your proprietary algorithm should do the same if the time to adjust the clock is too long. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for apps to assume that time is continuous and always moving forward, so slewing seems like a good solution to the problem of time synchronization, if you need instant synchronization you can always step the clock yourself.

Under ordinary conditions, the clock discipline gradually slews the clock to the correct time, so that the time is effectively continuous and never stepped forward or backward. If, due to extreme network congestion, an offset spike exceeds the step threshold, by default 128 ms, the spike is discarded. However, if offset spikes greater than the step threshold persist for an interval more than the stepout threshold, by default 300 s, the system clock is stepped to the correct time.
> I wish people would just do some deeper investigation before forming opinions based on their biases.

well then they wouldn’t be people now, would they?

your reaction is fair. and rare.
I wonder where the state of charge is held here. This could actually help the long term battery life significantly. Do these discharge not as deep? Do they not fully top up? Neither full charge nor deeper discharge are good for batteries. Avoiding those areas could be a long-term win.

It'd be pretty easy/interesting to compare the charge curves & find out what part of the curve it looks like versus a regular capacity model.

This sort of cost-unrelated rent keeping keeps growing. Intel selling you a chip then having the vendor either one time fee or subscription based unlock any of the half dozen different accelerators is another stunning example. That one's even weirder to me, in that it's unlikely people will bake in support for these special features to common software systems, if they don't have access!
More alarming (and not talked about!) is that it is also a racial slur...

Right? That's what's not clear to me either. If they got readings for superconductivity and Cu2S impurities were the cause then fantastic, Cu2S is the room temperature superconductor? Just get a load of that instead then.

Or perhaps the way they measured the whole experiment was completely inane from the start if a simple conductor passes with flying colours. With that and them presenting ferromagnetism as the Messner effect makes me kind of question the competence of the entire analysis.
Even if those countries were democratic, is there any reason to think they would choose to legalize simulated gambling?
"and pave the way for Apple to become the most important technology company ever"

Yikes, that's a hell of a statement about a company with 20% global market share on smartphones and 8% on PCs -- as well as a negligible enterprise and server share.

Apple's only the most important technology company to the professional-managerial class, where the social clout gained by owning an Apple product is much more important than the product itself.
> "Now I have to walk back explanations I gave to various people and explain LK-99 actually isn’t special at all. I will look like a god damn idiot."

Y'know those stories on Reddit about people's awful childhoods, like "I needed the toilet in a shop and my parents told me to be quiet, and then when I pissed myself, my dad dragged me outside and beat me for 'embarrassing him'"? Have you noticed the dad comes out of the story looking bad for prioritising his image? Saying "I don't want to tell this to people because then _I_ will look bad" already makes you look bad.

I told my dad LK-99 isn't a superconductor and he said "that's a shame, oh well, exciting while it lasted".
Who really knows _that_ much about anything though? Few people are experts in a given topic. Although I see your point, I suppose more people would be good to recognise that, especially about themselves.

That said, this is a fairly general forum and (mostly) for entertainment purposes right?
Copper sulfide's diamagnetism is not that high. It would be notable if it were. So that isn't a possible explanation. Cu2S was suggested as a culprit for the observed conductivity changes.

The preprint reporting the high value of diamagnetism is here:

Funny thing is that it does refuse to change the time when the delta is large. So it trusts these random bytes in the TLS handshake blindly, but when it gets the correct time from the time server some seconds later, it doesn't dare to change the time as the delta is too large!
> As for non-commercial sites, we've had Lets Encrypt for almost a decade at this point

Saying there's "no excuse" to not have HTTPS is presuming there's a benefit in 100% of cases to have it in the first place. I don't want my internal sites breaking because a cert couldn't be updated, on something that didn't need it in the first place. There are even external sites I run that I could argue don't need it.
I don't think it's the case that Albini took pride in sounding unpracticed! Big Black, at least in recordings, is actually somewhat meticulous. Judge them the way you'd judge, like, early Einsturzende, not the way you'd judge Yngwie Malmsteen.
So I would agree with this for the Schwarzschild metric. The swapping of signs in the space and time components of the metric does not have any real physical consequences. But when you move to a Kerr metric it absolutely does because it permits the construction of closed timelike curves.
Before I Die Code – An Open Source Project for Developer Bucket Lists
I recently launched an open source project called Before I Die Code - a place for developers to share their life goals, aspirations, and bucket lists.

It's a React app with HTML/CSS hosted on Vercel. The goal is to create a positive community where developers can reflect on what matters most and connect with others.

Some ways you can get involved:

Check it out: https://github.com/BeforeIDieCode/BeforeIDieAchievements
Star the GitHub repository
Fork and contribute code, fix bugs, suggest features
Share your own bucket list goals and connect with other developers
Before I Die Code is beginner-friendly and great for first-time open source contributors. But coders of all skill levels are welcome!

I'd love your feedback, whether you're an experienced open source developer or looking for your first project. What life achievements would you add to your developer bucket list? What features would enhance the community?

This is my first open source release, so I welcome your thoughts on improving the project. Let's build something meaningful together!

A good time to remind everyone that for almost 2 decades now it's been determined that the majority of published scientific findings are wrong. [0][1] Including possibly even the very determination that the majority of published scientific findings are wrong.[2] ([3])

So, if that's the case, when a new result comes out, the appropriate reaction is to assume there's a better than average likelihood it will be refuted. And honestly that's what makes science great. Unlike with some other fields of human endeavor, it is possible to firmly refute bad science. And often learn something new in the process.

It would have been fair to say it aged well, if the version which is currently called testing was their flagship version.

For most software, the testing version gives you relatively latest stuff. But that doesn't mean every software can advertise itself as being up-to-date.

For debian specifically, I don't think they recommend using the testing version unless you're a Debian contributor/tester.

I've tried using Sid (desktop) in the past, but ran into several version issues while installing through apt. Didn't try much to debug, and switched to stable. Been a happy user since!
Depends on the battery tech I imagine.

LFP batteries are recommended to charge to 100% every time, where as NCA / NCM are both what we traditionally think of when discussing lithium batteries.

I imagine for LFP they will keep it as full as possible, and hard cap the other types to 70%.

> For decades, the argument for sticking with Windows was that it was a single stable UI/UX with lots of established conventions. The same menus in the same places, the same hotkeys worked everywhere, etc. Linux couldn't claim that, was the pitch.

And then Microsoft let their employees use any machine/OS they wanted and all the designers promptly choose MacBooks, and now Windows is slowly morphing into macOSLite. Taking all the most annoying design concepts from macOS and trying to unsuccessfully merge or replace them with the very thoroughly designed and developed Windows conventions.
> he only has one vote

I don't think that's a very helpful understanding of the situation. Bjarne's influence isn't limited to one of 300 votes. Some random guy from Microsoft with voting rights isn't the same in practice. As an example it seemed pretty clear to me from evidence viewed now, that ~15 years ago Bjarne undermined C++ 0x Concepts in favour of his own simpler less capable design, which C++ eventually got in C++ 20.

Circle has this feature, since Bjarne's C++ 20 feature is called concepts, Sean calls this "interfaces" instead, but it's the C++ 0x Concepts functionality.

I also don't buy the story that poor Bjarne was strong armed into his leading role on WG21 (the C++ language committee). Does Brain Kernighan play a similar role at WG14 (the C language committee)? No. He's moved on, Bjarne has not.

Are people suggesting that a BDFL would be better? I see a lot of dissatisfaction with ISO but that's not the same thing. Rust doesn't have a BDFL, and these days neither does Python. Maybe neither BDFLs nor ISO committees (well, specifically JTC1 sub-sub-committees, these are all under JTC1's SC22, a sub-committee for programming languages) are a good way to develop programming languages.
Also, the things that are actually listed for a good price tend to disappear much faster. So when you're looking at search results, you're mostly seeing the higher priced items that haven't sold yet.
> they get an RTV (return to vendor) tag rather than the store reselling them. Which given the return pallets I've seen for sale elsewhere (ie this article), I wonder if it isn't a euphemism for dispose of, even if the box is unopened.

I think return to vendors are shipped at the vendor's expense, so vendors tend to ship to nearby surplus processors for the most part.
As soon as someone uses a POP or IMAP client to fetch all of their mail your server is going to catch on fire. Even if you had POP/IMAP disabled, the computation costs to decode data are enormous with this method, which is precisely why people don't use the most maximally compressing codecs for anything other than true archival applications (e.g. database backups which, unlike old email, really are expected to be accessed almost never).
At or above any other SWE role at the same company. Often above the ML researchers at the same company since most researchers are earlier in their career than the ML ops/platform folks, though that's much less true at FAANG-tier companies.
