It's comparable to the Pixel 7 Pro (212g) or iPhone 14 Pro (206g), but it would be nice to see that number trend downwards. I had a Pixel 4a in the past, and that seemed like a good balance between size and weight.
// This sort of questioning //
chuckle Surely you are not trying to suppress my right to ask questions? :-) We are all frustrated here and know things have got to change somehow. It's just not exactly obvious how, not to me anyways.

But suppose we actually did have a concrete proposal, something we could legislate. No matter what the legislation was, there would still be media winners and media losers. And the media losers would still feel they are being systematically excluded.

Here's the kicker--they would be absolutely right!! Moreover, they wouldn't have to appeal to vague dissatisfactions about "corporate abuses"--they could point to specific line items of regulations which had the effect of suppressing their speech. There would be endless, highly politicized fights about what the regulations should be, but no matter what they were, the regulations would inevitably have the effect of promoting some points of view and suppressing others.

I.E. I really don't how regulations could provide any sort of solution to this problem.
Yeah, but if you're a westerner being taken on a trip to South Korea, read your plane ticket to see if that's actually were you're going.

If the deal is more akin to "get in this van and my guy will take you to where you need to go", then that's another story.
On the other hand, that man would have to be arrested because others wouldn't feel threatened should he not chosen to walk into that neighborhood.
At runtime there's no problem in practice, but the disconnect between the two projects causes the occasional friction that can blow up your FS if you run rolling release distros.
> Installing NEMA 14-50 outlets everywhere could put the EV revolution on the road sooner rather than later.

No. No it won't. It's helpful TODAY for homes and office buildings and hotels. Destinations. But as the author said himself, it was limited to below 10kw/hr. That means your average Tesla will require roughly 7 hours for a full charge, or 20 hours for your hummer EV. It's unlikely you'll need a FULL charge, but if you're at work for 8 hours, that's not a problem. Or at home sleeping, not an issue. But for any long distance driving? No dice.

We *need* fast charging. We need smart chargers that can handle multiple cars intelligently until we get to a point where battery and capacitor technology is far enough along to rival gas.

The average consumer doesn't want to futz with a J1772 adapter to get free EV charging when on an errand - let alone tinker about with a dozen adapters, plug ends and whatnot. Now if someone is an EV enthusiast, no problem. They probably have all the adapters and more with them all the time (I do).

At the end of the day, the 14-50 argument is a bit like saying "Everyone should carry their own fuel pump with themselves. That'd be so much easier than all these fancy gas station pumps. Just let people dangle the hose directly into the tank and pump it out themselves." Oh.. and just as dangerous.
Israel comes to mind.
Some of the urbanized, well-off guys with that specific inclination volunteer to fight, on both sides. They also end up dead eventually.

Of course, they try to find an arrangement to do it on their own terms.

Some of even more rich and powerful will participate in some "tik tok batallion" where they're fairly sure they're the last ones to actually risk their lives. But once it ends they will boast their military prowess and use it as social capital.

Otherwise, spot on.
Thank you. I didn't know that :)
It costs a lot less to reverse or cancel credit card transactions.

Also all sorts of insurances and financial products are just available for credit card transactions.

Unless you are a bank or something similar, it makes complete sense to just support credit cards.
When I'm looking at a hex dump, FILE_HEADER_OFFSET doesn't tell me where to start looking for the header. So I need to open a new tab in my source code editor, find the header file where FILE_HEADER_OFFSET was defined, only to figure out that it is defined as FILE_MAGIC_LENGTH + RESERVED_FLAG_LENGTH, and FILE_MAGIC_LENGTH is defined as LENGTH(FILE_MAGIC_LITERAL), and FILE_MAGIC_LITERAL is not defined in the source code, because it is provided as a compiler flag that is generated by the Configure script, and there are three conflicting definitions of RESERVED_FLAG_LENGTH, and you are not sure which one is the correct one.
Electrify America does allow paying by card. And federal regulations are going to require it for all public charging stations. This, I'm not worried at all.
I can only speak for chargepoint but I did, in fact, just tap a card and pay for charging a month or two ago. No phone, no app, no signup.

Granted, it was a shared station that was sharing what was probably only a 20/240 circuit but ... it worked.

Right. The Xperia is IP65/68. I just glossed over this because I figure most people are unaware of that nuance. It's a pretty well sealed phone, because once the condensation gets in, it does not get back out without cracking the weather seal.

If the FP5 were just a tad smaller with a telephoto (like the Xperia) I'd be all over it---water resistant or not.

So the power meter dutifully ticks up the charge you have used while plugged in. Then what? How do you pay it? Do you have to go track down some person who may or may not be on duty to read the meter, hope they read it before you started, and pay them in quarters?

Cars are designed to use AC. That's how all current Level 2 chargers work. They are basically dumb outlets plus a contractor, GFCI, and optionally a payment terminal. But beyond a certain level (around 20kW) the size and cost of putting a larger AC to DC converter in the car is prohibitive.

At one point Tesla Superchargers were literally racks of the same AC to DC converters found in the car, but fed with 3-phase power, bussed together, and cooled all external to the car. There's no other way to implement a reliable 20-minute roadtrip charge.

Main issues with large blobs in DB is moving and or deleting them. Not sure if PG has this issue I would like to confirm, but in say SQL server if you delete a blob or try and move it to another file group you get transaction logging equal to the size of the blobs.

You would think at least with a delete especially in PG with the way it handles MVCC the blob would just have an entry saying which blob was deleted or something then if you need rollback you just undelete the blob.

So just being able to move and delete the data after it is in there becomes a real problem with a lot of it.

Huge fan of the in-person Tuesday dinners! I think there's something interesting to be said for the fact that the dinners were informal, over food/drink, totally unrecorded, and in person. There's a level of candor (and friendly debate!) that you can get to in that setting that's tough to get to over a podcast or over Zoom.
My favorite use case is Looking Glass.

Want to play video games that only run in Windows, but don't want to leave Linux? You can run Windows in a virtual machine and "passthrough" your GPU's PCIe slot. The advantage is that Windows can get the full performance of your GPU. The disadvantage is that it took the whole GPU away from your Linux host, along with whatever display it's attached to. You can use a second GPU for your Linux host (i.e. your integrated CPU one), but that needs its own physical display.

You can use Looking Glass to copy the framebuffer from your Windows guest so that you can redraw it on your Linux host. That way you can have your Windows guest in a window, and never have to leave your Linux desktop again. The big caveat is that your Windows guest needs a valid display connected, or it will never draw any frames to begin with. You can plug in a spare monitor that you never actually look at, or you can spoof one.

If people are too dumb to read a meter that goes from 0-1000kwh, maybe they shouldn't be driving. And if they're that dumb, why does having some app with some shitty bluetooth connectivity that doesn't work half the time solve the problem?

Just put in your card at the machine FFS. Treat it just like a gas pump. this is not technically difficult, but I feel like everybody is making it out to be some difficult problem. Gas and electricity refill a vehicle in exactly the same way. You put in X amount of energy, go X amount of miles. Electricity just takes longer to charge, but otherwise what is so different?

And somehow every gas station managed to authorize your credit card even in the most remote of bumfuck places. Even where all there is is a land line, they can still dial out to authorize. Again, solved problem.

If you want to have an account and an app, fine. Don't force everybody else to have it.
I was very intrigued by that possibility, but it seems like the stack there is inverted from what it sounds like at first glance. It's for supporting HID devices that are connected to an I²C interface on the motherboard chipset without having to write any kernel-mode drivers. Think stuff like custom lighting or other devices built in to your system that don't need the speed to take up a whole USB endpoint.

I think if someone wanted to have a very simple interface to control I²C devices over USB, it looks like there's plenty of cheap chips around that expose an I²C bus as a simple USB serial port to your computer.
1. Gap between the two kids. We've generally observed that the best gap for siblings to bond is when they're within 4 yrs of each other. This isn't some great research but we just observed it in our friend circle.

2. We had excellent childcare close by, as in 5 minutes from home. I had flexible and remote work and would have been able to drop and pick my child up. I also had a provision where I could write the child care off my taxes.

She finally went back to work when my little one was 8. She did go back when the little one was 3 but had to drop out again because of a health issue with the little one.

Sooo, how would you pay for this then? Or rather, how would a supplier charge you for this? Would they pay a human to flip a switch after you hand over some cash? And if they did, would some bright spark write an app to do that instead? And build some automated switching gear to turn it on and off? And then maybe thud think, hey, what if the customer forget their cable? Maybe we could have our thing have its own cable? Fuck sake.
> Do you also avoid getting life insurance because you've never died before?

No, I get life insurance for free from my job ;)

But if your question can be translated to, "Do you avoid every possible risk in your life?" The answer is, "No. Ain't nobody got time for that. But I do try to be pragmatic about what risks I do take."
It may not prove caste discrimination during the hiring process (I’m not sure that’s even claimed by the author).

It does however strongly suggest and maybe even prove the existence of caste discrimination at a societal level.

Why are the “best candidates” so disproportionately upper castes? That’s not a trick question. We know that the upper castes have suppressed lower castes. You may want to argue it doesn’t exist today, but the data very clearly show even if that’s true, the historical impact of that discrimination on the lives of people living today is high.

PID works well for most industrial controls, but it's a blunt instrument. Its mainly valuable because it's simple and doesn't really require much knowledge of the plant to implement. No 'model' is really required, other than the vaguest knowledge of first order dynamics. Instead of model knowledge you just iteratively tune it until it works.

If you need a really optimal control trajectory minimizing or maximizing for some parameter, you are willing to do the system identification necessary for it to work, and you don't much care whether an electrician can understand how it works model-based controls are much better. as /u/Communitivity mentioned so called 'model based control' (which is an umbrella of techniques) is a much more powerful tool.
It makes backups PITA. I migrated blobs to S3 and managed to improve backups from once a month to once a day. Database is now very slim. HDD space is no longer an issue. Can delete code which serves files. Lots of improvements with no downsides so far.

Yeah, the Honda Fit was one of the best-selling cars in the US for a few years of the late 00s. Peaked around 2008, when it outsold the Ford Explorer and Chevy TrailBlazer.

Even then Honda sold about 450k fewer Fits that year than F-series trucks, and 120k fewer Fits than CR-V crossovers. Writing was on the wall by 2014, when Honda tried to sell an awful 20kWh/sub-100 mi. range EV Fit, and it never recovered. Gone completely from the US by 2020.

Excellent news. When the ISP's claim it's "too hard" to do, you know something is wrong. Either the ISP's are lying (duh) or the taxes and fees structure is just messed up... or someone is trying to slip in bullshit charges.

How would that work when you may not even know where the person wants service? You might know a general area and there might be unknown fees that the isp cant know until after they negotiate with the various stakeholders to build service.

I'm hoping that by the time I buy an EV regulators will force these charging companies to accept cash. Ideally, that would mean not having to use their apps.
To some degree I think it may be subconsciously capitalist factors as well. Wealthy European countries have expensive housing. And most people aspire to a nursery room for a baby and later a separate room for the child, but then you have to upgrade your living situation to include another room at great expense.

> Does anyone understand the business angle for meta here with these models?

Pixel tracking is pretty foundational to Augmented Reality: you can calculate objects' position, orientation and speed - it is obvious to me why Meta would do this research, and seed the models to the wider world who can dream up applications for it (in both sense of the word). When you consider other research projects Meta released (image segmentation, digital twins, etc), the AR/VR play becomes a little more obvious.

I can't wait until someone integrates these tracking models with Blender, as a non-expert in object-tracking - this appears to be superior to the tracking pipeline that was available in Blender a few years ago when I looked into it. The fantastic thing about open source is that the project can be used in ways the author never considered.

I am building https://atomictessellator.com, and since I am 100% technical I am not sure about commercialising or open sourcing it, I definitly would like to open source some of the components (e.g. turnkey dockerized scientific computing environments, the molecular force viewer, and also open up a hub for the environments and models) - when I was in Stanford meeting with some comp chemists a few months ago they got very excited for this.

I negotiated with my day job to work 2AM to 10AM so that I can work on this passion project in the afternoons, some grant funding would really help me focus on this more.
