Abstract: A well-known phenomenon to cat owners is the tendency of their cats to sit in enclosed spaces such as boxes, laundry baskets, and even shape outlines taped on the floor. This investigative study asks whether domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus) are also susceptible to sitting in enclosures that are illusory in nature, utilizing cats’ attraction to box-like spaces to assess their perception of the Kanizsa square visual illusion. Carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic, this study randomly assigned citizen science participants Booklets of six randomized, counterbalanced daily stimuli to print out, prepare, and place on the floor in pairs. Owners observed and videorecorded their cats’ behavior with the stimuli and reported findings from home over the course of the six daily trials. This study ultimately reached over 500 pet cats and cat owners, and of those, 30 completed all of the study’s trials. Of these, nine cat subjects selected at least one stimulus by sitting within the contours (illusory or otherwise) with all limbs for at least three seconds. This study revealed that cats selected the Kanizsa illusion just as often as the square and more often than the control, indicating that domestic cats may treat the subjective Kanizsa contours as they do real contours. Given the drawbacks of citizen science projects such as participant attrition, future research would benefit from replicating this study in controlled settings. To the best of our knowledge, this investigation is the first of its kind in three regards: a citizen science study of cat cognition; a formal examination into cats’ attraction to 2D rather than 3D enclosures; and study into cats’ susceptibility to illusory contours in an ecologically relevant paradigm. This study demonstrates the potential of more ecologically valid study of pet cats, and more broadly provides an interesting new perspective into cat visual perception research.

I really like the form factor, if only there would be some off-the-shelf options for a mechanical keyboard version ..

I know there are plenty DIY projects for this (and the cyberdeck scene is a rabbit hole that I do not dare to go down), but it would be nice something more easily available.
Operating such a device in Japan puts you in a legal gray area, and depending on your behaviour could result in unwanted police attention. They will respond to reports of such devices being used near spaces frequented by women or children. Act responsibly.
Following the same logic, everything you have archived, your wealth, your gadgets, your house, your car should belong to everybody after 10 years. Or do you want that only to apply to artists who (99% of them) dont make a lot of money anyways?
Other way would be to have a dedicated keyboard
I admire your optimism, but I think we already lost.

Hopefully I'm missing some background long term trend that proves me wrong.
No word on price. When Raspberry Pi first launched, this was the prime feature of the thing. Can we expect same price as the Raspberry Pi 4? (at the respective RAM level)

Edit: found it here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/introducing-raspberry-pi-5/

So the 4 GB model is 60$, which is 5$ more than the 4 GB model of the Raspberry 4 when that was launched: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-4-on-sale-now-... . I guess that is fair, especially with inflation nowadays. So they stay true to the idea of making this available for cheap.
How did Apple get all of my email addresses?
from the product brief: “Raspberry Pi 5 will remain in production until at least January 2035”

I would have guessed that as they move up the performance + power curve, such a long production commitment is less interesting for most users, but maybe I’m wrong.

I wanted to also include their “increased release cadence” - but apparently it’s been 4+ years since the Pi 4 was released, it just doesn’t feel like it to me due to the chip shortage and pandemic…

I think that the main sticking point is that the credit for a contribution to the kernel, no matter how small is of sufficient value now that this needs more consideration from the maintainers. And Michael Ellerman actually agrees with that based on his response in the thread. I think a Suggested-by or even a Co-authored-by would be an improvement on the current situation. But the frame of mind of a typical kernel maintainer to me appears to be that they believe you want them to fix the issue, not that the credit matters more to you than the fix.

If I were in the position of the OP the LKML record alone suffices as proof that I contributed a major chunk of work to fixing a bug in the Linux kernel, and if I did feel that the credit was handled wrongly I would have taken that up with the maintainer. And finally, I would have done so right away, not a long time after and in such a disingenuous way.

> I've been trying for almost 1 year, to get a Pi 4 at MRSP and it's impossible due to production shortages

Where are you? Chicago, PiShop, and Digikey have Pi4's at MSRP right now in the US, and have had them for most of the last 6 weeks. Availability in Europe looks even better...

Pi Zero 2W and CM4 are more problematic, but not in the category of "wait a year."

They're not, and it's a very annoying requirement. Even 5V/3A was hard to provide reliably. On the other hand, rock pi supports 12V/2A, which modern chargers will provide without any issue.
Oh yes. I'm the same! When I am in a larger group, I have a hard time opening up and having meaningful discussions, whereas on one on one settings it's easier.

A lot of hard problems actually become harder with more people. Now you are not only dealing with the problem itself but also with the problem of getting people to agree your solutions are worth the trouble. Cat herding is much harder than innovation.

I've built a few products with a skeleton team. You can move really quickly on a lot of issues if you have the right people. And let's face it, a lot of successful companies are not exactly rocket science in terms of what they come up with. Slack: middle of the road chat thingy. Their UX is nice and cute but otherwise there isn't a whole lot of special stuff going on. There are a gazillion alternatives that do more or less the same thing. Airbnb. Cute idea but it's a glorified market place. Twitter has some interesting tech related to scaling search but otherwise it's basically a fast version of mastodon, which is community supported. And they weren't all that fast or scalable initially (fail whale?!).

There are a lot of tech companies where the tech is pretty middle of the road. A lot of these companies actually established themselves with much smaller teams than they currently have. My theory is that they actually could not have done it with a bigger team. You need a small and focused team to get results. That's why startups are a thing. Large companies with way more resources struggle to do the same things that small, nimble teams of less than 10 people accomplish.

A lot of these big companies established themselves before they bloated their teams; not after. Google was a handful of graduate students that built a nice search engine and ran circles around their competition. They were smart, not big.

To move quickly, you need a good team that is not burdened by design by committee style management. Google seems paralyzed lately actually. I'm not sure they'd be able to build another search engine. Plenty of talent and money but their ability to focus all that on anything has gone down the drain.

If you were starting greenfield, geometric algebra probably simplifies more than you would guess, and represents more.

When anything gets simpler, more consistent, and more powerful, most of us start having ideas that would never have occurred to us before.

Same story as any other significant language and/or notation improvements.

It is a mystery to me why it has taken so long to catch on and replace disparate less capable notations.

Inertia I guess. Hard to change geometry across education all at once, but piecemeal would be very messy.

I don’t know any reason it would be less efficient.
I really wish they would have just built in PoE+ rather than requiring a hat; the hat dramatically reduces the choice of case hardware.

Xeus-cling is a Jupyter Kernel for C/C++: https://github.com/jupyter-xeus/xeus-cling#a-c-notebook

With the xeus-cling Jupyter Kernel for C/C++, variable redefinitions in subsequent notebook input cells do not raise a compiler warning or error.

There's JsRoot, which may already work with JupyterLite in WASM in a browser tab?

There's a ROOT kernel for Jupyter, too: https://github.com/root-project/root/tree/master/bindings/ju...

Instead of the ROOT Jupyter Kernel, you can just call into ROOT from Python with PyRoot (from a notebook that specifies e.g. ipykernel, xeus-python, or pyodide Jupyter kernels).

"ROOT has its Jupyter Kernel!" (2015)
https://root.cern/blog/root-has-its-jupyter-kernel/

IDK if there are Apache Arrow bindings for ROOT?; though there certainly are for C/C++, Python, and other languages

You must install jupyter_console to use Jupyter kernels from the CLI like IPython with ipykernel.

In addition to IPython/Jupyter notebook, jupyterlab, vscode, and vscode.dev+devpod;

Do you have any opinion about "Nullsoft Scriptable Install System" (NSIS)? Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullsoft_Scriptable_Install_Sy...

I was always very impressed by it.
I grew up in the DMV area, and the Metro was notorious for its long waits, single-tracking, and super expensive tickets.

The last time I took the metro was about 7 years ago, and at that time there was lots of political turmoil in the Metro leadership. I hope it has changed as I loved the concept and design. But like most things that go wrong, execution is what spoiled it for me.
This looks promising! Thanks!

I would look and see if they have tried to patent the system. I'm unable to search anything immediately, but patents and followed by licensing to the associated startups are bare minimum steps that needs to happen to have any confidence that the system can pan out in real life.
Düsseldof and now my home state of Bremen (the smallest city state of germany) have recently asked their state owned public transport company to no longer bring these cases to the police.[1]

The UX for the page is terrible, or else I'm too used to reading reference manuals. I can't figure out if the glasses can be used standalone, or need constant connection to a smart phone, nor battery life.

Why? I actually think they might be quite useful for e.g. sports, where the athlete doesn't have a hand free for camera/smartphone.
Modern smartphones have sophisticated battery management systems that could theoretically be programmed to optimize for this scenario but unfortunately those systems tend to be off limits to third party developers.
I'm sorry, perhaps my engineering education makes me handwave at problems -- but the water we're desalinating has to return to the ocean someway, it's not like we throw it into black holes, why can't we just dump the brine 20 miles into the ocean, the water we've desalinated will return by other means.

Cities like London and Madrid actually have had bombs on trains. It's not a "security threat" to buildings above.

What is a security threat to infrastructure are roads, where you can drive massive vehicles into people, transport and explode bombs, etc. The Manchester bombing for example was a truck exploding parked on a public road.

I largely agree. I would also like to see more research into how to give authors incentives to license their works for transformative purposes such as training and ways to credit them when the results of inference draw disproportionately on a particular author's work.

We should all have a personal postal code that would link to our current address.

It depends on what "need" means. I'm pretty sure you can take a 400W TDP Threadripper and run it without active cooling. It will throttle down to run at whatever speed (well, TDP) that doesn't fry it. The Raspberry Pi does the same thing.

If your goal is to get the highest score on every benchmark, then yeah, you need active cooling. That has been true on every Raspberry Pi, I think. (I don't remember if the 1 needed active cooling. I did not have any. I also remember it taking over a day to recompile Linux! Still faster than setting up a cross compiler at the time ;)
Just downloaded Bruno and it looks great! Thanks very much.
The inefficiency of that process increases electricity usage, the carbon footprint, and therefore contributes to climate change. Which, eventually, murders puppies.

Good enough for your arbitrary standard? I would have thought the fact that all preceding side effects will be re-executed each time a new line is written is bad enough, but whatever.
I hate it when someone answers a yes/no question with something other than yes or no.

Here’s my proposed edit:

Q: "Does Raspberry Pi 5 need active cooling?

Original A: "Raspberry Pi 5 is faster and more powerful than prior-generation Raspberry Pis…”

Better A:
"For modest workloads, no. For heavier workloads, you will get better performance with active cooling. Raspberry Pi 5 is faster and more powerful than prior-generation Raspberry Pis…”

I remember those days.

Even into the late 90s early 2000, modems (including ADSL) didn't come with a router, you had to establish a PPPoE connection from your computer, which also means your home machine was directly on the WAN with no firewall protection.

I can't remember which version of windows but it must have been 98 or ME, you had to rush to download and install a patch when you connected it first to the internet before one of these exploits would make it crash.

The introduction of NAT changed all of that.

I've been using Clickhouse Keeper in production environment since it's first release and have been really happy. It makes setting up distributed tables in Clickhouse (replicas/shards) quite easy. The only issues I've seen is when inserting at a super high throughput (>1000/sec writes) which is actually more of a n issue with Clickhouse Merge Table tree settings rather than Keeper itself.

That's likely unrelated to anti-car sentiment and more so because bicyclists are (on average) complete assholes on the road, since there is no accountability for their behavior.

I'd be fine with bicyclists if we could use cameras/facial recognition to issue fines and arrest warrants, thereby finally domesticating them.
