It turns out with the trappings of how serial killers are presented in media (bad black and white photos from odd angles), everyone looks like a serial killer.
Things are worse when you get to the details. The cars try to stay at 20-80% charge, so off the bat you somewhat “lose” 40% of the actual full stated range. And charging takes hours, not minutes, and charging stations don’t want you to leave the car there for a long time so you then have charge anxiety that forces you to unplug and move the car after exactly say 3 or 4 hours. The whole process is a bit anxiety producing.

Per my understanding of their method, the participants were just asked to do the survey without mentioning what was being measured. It's like you said, someone can manage their expression of confidence to a degree (or not, maybe), but privately they may not do that, i.e. when just doing some surveys for a study. One thing I remember from running my own studies like this: usually the participant is subjected to a series of such tests (called a battery, sometimes) in succession so they're likely to get fatigued. I think that's a tougher effect that can possibly confound studies. Though I am not sure mental fatigue matters so much for this study.

Edit: I'd share the article but have no idea where to host it.
The UAW vacillates between nourishing and devouring its host. It’s really more complex than that because it is more than a two body problem. Automakers can recruit the UAW to help them get what they want from Democrats and the other way around for the Republicans, who the auto workers vote for anyway.

Big business and big labor are a powerful combination when it comes to getting protectionism and everything else they want. Look at how small, affordable cars have disappeared from the market since the two of them convinced US lawmakers they need profits now so they can make more profits now from super-luxury XXXL electrics.
They have 7000+ employees. They are a huge company. If they are having big meetings with 500-1000 and don’t have sufficient security then that’s not smart.

It is normal. Look around next time you’re at a tech conference. There’s probably armed guards somewhere. I went to WWDC 10 years ago and they had security. Same for SXSW.

Pretty much any mass gathering.

Unity isn’t some small org. They are worth billions and are a target even in normal times where people aren’t death threating them.

Of course, I agree that life shouldn’t be like this, but it is. We’re already in a low-trust society. We’ve been in it for decades.

Remember when Timothy McVeigh blew up just a regular federal building and killed normies and kids and whatnot? I think since then there’s been a lot more security. It’s more likely that Timothy McVeigh would be shot and killed if he was detected and tried to blow up his truck this time.

This is sad. And I’d prefer not if society could fix this so it’s not necessary.

But if I was going to a big all hands with a thousand coworkers and my employer didn’t have security that could protect me from some rando showing up with a gun, I wouldn’t go to that all hands. And I would probably not work for that company.

Not for any ideological reason. Just because I don’t want to die.

Look at Codementor. The pay to do their typical "mentoring calls" isn't terrible, and it's not uncommon for mentoring to blossom into larger consulting gigs.

Upwork is of course terrible, but if you qualify as a US-based contractor, the rates are generally much higher on projects with the US-only filter.

Controversial take, but consider it: try to do some lower-paid gigs on Upwork. The key isn't the money you make, but jump-starting your momentum with positive reviews.

Seems like this is a pattern of misconduct from this cop[1], who is also the VP of his police union:

> 2010: Auderer was one of several officers who stopped two Mexican immigrants under a false pretext. The officers were caught on camera verbally abusing them and roughly arresting them. One of the officers, Corey Williams, infamously threatened to “skull fuck” the pair. (He’s now the sergeant of crisis response.)

> 2010: Auderer was one of a dozen officers who savagely beat Brian Torgerson, a mentally ill man, causing permanent brain damage. SPD settled with Torgerson’s family for $1.75 million.

> 2014: Auderer received another complaint from a woman he arrested, who claimed he sexually harassed her in a holding cell. There was no audio of the incident, so OPA issued a training referral.

> 2015: Auderer punched and choked a homeless man inside the ER at Harborview Hospital. SPD’s Force Review Board ruled that the force was unjustified, but OPA ultimately cleared him.

> 2016: OPA investigated Auderer for using force against a Black woman while she was handcuffed. This is prohibited by SPD policy unless there are “exceptional circumstances.” OPA ruled that the force use—which occurred conveniently beyond the view of the in-car video—was “lawful and proper.”

> 2016: OPA investigated Auderer again for punching a woman in the face. He was cleared of any wrongdoing

> 2016: Auderer was suspended for four days for taking part in an arrest while on an off-duty ridealong with his brother, who is an officer in another jurisdiction. He violated the person’s Miranda rights & failed to report the arrest to a supervisor.

> 2018: Auderer was reprimanded for making demeaning, unnecessary comments about a woman’s mental health during a traffic stop.

> And you're also brainwashed to think that the only way to get stuff from your phone to your PC wirelessly is via iCloud.

Keep your strawmen to yourself, I never stated iCloud is the only way to transfer data.

> I use SyncThing and it works fantastically, with no fees and no spying.

Good for you. I don’t recall asking.

Grow up and accept that other people have preferences that differ from yours and maybe in the process you’ll also learn that using FOSS doesn’t make you as edgy and cool as you think.

As an aside, I can only surmise you don’t even know what iCloud entails because not only does SyncThing not officially support iOS (you know, the topic at hand), but even using the only available *paid* option, Möbius, doesn’t even come close to the iCloud experience.

Is this the infinite dimensionality you refer to? I asked ChatGPT4:

In the context of dimensional analysis, what is "infinite dimensionality"? Keep your answer brief, only one or two short paragraphs.

In the context of dimensional analysis, the term "infinite dimensionality" typically doesn't refer to the physical dimensions (like length, time, and mass) that one might immediately think of. Instead, in mathematical and theoretical physics contexts, it often pertains to spaces, particularly function spaces, that have an infinite number of dimensions. For instance, the space of all possible functions of a particular type can be thought of as having infinite dimensionality, as each function can be uniquely described by an infinite series of coefficients.

One of the most commonly encountered infinite-dimensional spaces in physics is the Hilbert space, used in quantum mechanics. Here, the state of a quantum system can be represented by a vector in an infinite-dimensional space. While the idea of "infinite dimensionality" might sound abstract and counterintuitive, it provides the necessary mathematical framework to accurately describe and predict a variety of physical phenomena.
> I'm aware of some companies that employ 10+ people who still call themselves "indie" - I find that dishonest.

how? my first failed app had about 7 staff at one point: 2 programmers, 2 artists, a writer, sound designer, and the founder himself. the founder was paying all of us out of pocket. What makes that "not indie" compared to right now where if it was just the owner using his own time?

>and any relatively successful game should have no trouble paying those fees.

accounts I've read from devs suggest not. For some devs it ends up paying more revenue than they take in, despite qualifying.

I didn't include the previous sentence, which said that alarm clocks had put the knockers out of business, save a few, like the guy the quote was about.
A/B tests, as they are run by current software companies, are inherently flawed. I have never, in my entire career, ever heard of an A/B test that ran for a year, let alone 3-5 years. That’s where the true power of statistics comes alive, and nobody is financially incentivized to even consider that fact.

Yeah you can switch to Pathfinder, but you wont just forget about D&D existence and there still gonna be tons of friends unaware of drama who prefer D&D. Like there is still tons of Star Wars fans who continue bring money to Disney even though they might hate the company.

At the same time gamedev business is still a business and Unity is now unreliable supplier. Today we are lucky, but their ToS and fee changes could literally kill my company overnight in slightly different circumstances. Businesses that not mitigate risks like this go bankrupt really fast so no one sane will ever trust Unity after this rug pull.
That's not the same thing. An instruction set is an inherent aspect of a CPU; you can't have a CPU without one. Also, you can emulate or translate instruction sets between general-purpose CPUs, or in most cases just recompile the higher-level source code. The underlying logic will be executed regardless.
My current employer has armed
security guards. It’s pretty big with over 10,000 people with each physical location having 1,000+. Guards check badges and vehicles.

Before that I worked for a fortune 100 company and our regional office was in a shared office building that had receptionists and 1-2 armed guards who kind of roamed. They weren’t always visible but they were usually in the lobby.

And I worked for startups they had no one at all and just a door with a key and then keycard scanner.

I’ve visited google and Microsoft’s campuses and they have pretty strict security. So I think it’s a size and budget thing.

It would be extremely difficult to walk into my employer, shoot the front desk people and take their badge.
I've been a swe at big cos for 10 years and I believe this because that's literally what the lawyers repeatedly informed me was the case. Every significant launch involves a moment where a senior engineer meets with legal counsel and explains the launch and counsel says if they see legal risks with the launch. It's also routine to meet with them early and discuss possible future directions or explain the business value in revisiting a standing policy to see if the benefit to risk is worth it or not.

If you're saying that random engineers aren't actually entitled to meet with legal counsel and have a privileged conversation where they privately ask for directed legal advice, that would be surprising news to me.
Just messing around, I'm not dating so it's purely FOR SCIENCE.

The scoring seems pretty random. I worked hard on my first one and got a 6/10. Asking for a date seems to be verboten, but don't people do that in dating apps? Maybe improved on my second one and got 8/10. Tried to bomb my third one by talking all about my best friend Clarence, a fish, who is sometimes inappropriate. Got a 6/10 which seemed awfully generous. Finally bombed the next one and got 4/10 after being really weird and kind of creepy. Then finished with a trolling chat and got 8/10, which really broke my faith in the system.

The individual chat score seemed kind of random too and didn't offer enough fine-grained feedback. Why did I get +100 on some and +50 on others? (The -100/-50 were all me being terrible, so I understood those.)

Honestly trolling on the app is maybe too fun.

An ARM64 emulator will run that software on x86.
CPUs in a mobile form factor are thermally constrained. Consider that the 13900 will have a heat sink and dedicated fan. If Apple made a laptop version, they’d be using essentially the same chip at a higher clock frequency. If Apple put it into a Mac Pro, they’d run it higher frequency yet still.

of course there’s more than just thermals. The CPU has to actually be designed to run at a high clock.

I could be wrong but my understanding is that all their CPUs share a good amount of commonality and the major differences are more around packaging (IO connectors etc)

I’m aware of the various assets stores and anyone who compares them has never used Unity’s. There’s plenty of places to get 3D models. There’s one place to get game ready, rigged, low poly, high quality models and assets.

Every store requires work on the devs part, Unity’s doesn’t (or extremely little).

I also don’t want to give Unity any more money so buying assets from them and porting them isn’t my idea of a good time.

I very much appreciate the analytical depth of the article. I played Starfield for a total of six hours last weekend on my Xbox series X. It is reasonably good, at least so far. I'm from the very old school of gamers who were mesmerised by things like Kings Quest I and choplifter.

I'm quite sure I understood the very last paragraph, that the NVidia card does a slightly faster job at rendering the frames. I'll consider picking up one of those 4090 cards when it is clever enough to show me a city map in Starfield and draws less power than the flood lighting in a football stadium - and costs less than a year's food bills.

Well this seems a bit too snarky and not in good faith so I'm not going to substantially respond any further.

I wasn't too impressed with the last conversation I had with you, Cyberdildonics, and at best it seems as if your objecting to your own hasty paraphrase of my comment so I don't see how this could benefit any passing reader either.

Adding a microcontroller might reduce the number of components used, but it's a bit disingenuous to claim the result is "simpler".

Can I play "guess the rendering technique"? I assume that the longest-running pixel shader implements deferred shading, and the longest-running compute shader is doing some form of light transport, with the many texture reads doing some form of ray gathering resulting in few writes.
To clarify my analogy: D&D == gaming, WotC/OGL == Unity, Pathfinder == Unreal. You can still work in the "gaming" domain, but switch from Unity to Unreal. Similar to how some D&D tabletop studios are switching from OGL to Pathfinder while staying in "D&D" domain.
One of the stated benefits is that the compiler optimizer can optimize the regex state machine that gets created, resulting in significantly faster match times at runtime. There are some benchmarks if you look up her cppcon talk about the library iirc.

I wish they'd go the way of Epic and make an actual game with their engine. Maybe they could make some extra income if they made anything good.

They've tried a few times and given up each time. It's pretty embarrassing when they've done things like released a fully featured multiplayer FPS demo that doesn't actually work out of the box and has a custom editor tool manager, custom scene loader, and custom networking layer that were never merged into mainline unity. Meanwhile they still have no official stable networking module. The old functional one was sunset and the new ones are still in beta.

I don't have a subscription to Blomberg and the archive link isn't working for me, but this seems ridiculous.

Musk and the SpaceX president have been consistently saying they doesn't want Starlink to be used for offensive purposes. If I recall correctly they explicitly made it clear when he gave the dishes to Ukraine what their position was. Even the terms of use say to not use for offensive purposes.
This is also how politics works at this point. Politicians get A/B tested to maximize DAUs -- e.g. Fox News viewers and thus their voters.

Political party stances are the local maxima of AB testing talking points to their userbase around engagement.
In the book. That start… the writing had me feel stress and despair in a way that no other book has managed. I think the technique it used was giving you a heads up on what will happen but then glimpses of hope that would make the hopelessness even more evident.

iPhone could be a legit game console if developers wanted it to. Pair a Bluetooth game controller with screen mirroring and there you go.

There was an article from the WSJ that wrecks Google for e-waste due to not supporting Chromebooks past 5 years. A lot of chromebooks were purchased from 2020 due to the pandemic. It's not the date of purchase that determines obsolescence, so many were coming up to be thrown away.

It would be better if Google defaults to supporting 2020, 2019 (Many purchased in 2020 were manufactured in 2019).
I have started and stopped freelancing a few times now, each time basically just starting from scratch again. What works for me in the beginning is casting a net far and wide. You can post in the freelancer thread here in the beginning of the month, join programming Slack channels / Discords, sign up for freelancing services that aren't bottom of the barrel, reach out to recruiters, find forums with people that need your expertise, etc. There are a lot more options I am leaving out, but you get the picture. Once you get a few good clients if they are happy with you they may refer you to people they know, who in turn will do the same. Next thing you know you've got more work to do than you can handle. If you like building apps, you could focus on something that requires some custom work to go along with it. You could also use an app to advertise your consulting services to the users.
FWIW, I have the slightly bigger brother of your system and encountered no audio issues so far. In fact, after 26+ hours of playtime, I've only had one crash and zero bugs I could notice (except maybe NPCs spawning on top of tables or silly things like that).
