Sadly, not contrived!

Anyone using protocol buffers is actually familiar with this exact scenario. Not sure how the JS PB compiler handles things though, I never bothered to look under the covers.

Here is a random sample I found of both the types and the conversion code.

This. And even if the >300 is not available, how many people actually buy Wi-Fi on the plane? That is the number of clients that need to be supported. And if that's still a problem (or you don't want to guess), the SSID can be hidden and static and the only thing non-static is the password that works for just the duration of the flight you are on.
This looks like what the OP may want from the suggested reference: https://www.algorist.com/algorist.html ...
Fill 3D takes a different step from diffusion, in that it tries to build an actual 3D scene (kinda like a clone) of what's in the image you upload. In some sense, that's actually the most fundamental representation of what's in your image (or said another way, your image is just a representation of that original scene).

So it works by trying to estimate a 3D 'room' that matches your image. Everything from the geometry, to the light fixtures, to the windows. It's heavily inspired by how humans (weird to contrast 'human' vs. AI work) do image/video compositing.

TL;DR: Image in, 3D scene out.
I'm a DJ on mid-range monitoring hardware and I can definitely hear the difference with apple's encodes vs FLAC, at least on their older encodes. I am not 100% sure its the compression protocol (could be differences in mastering since streaming has different requirements) but the attentuation on bass and watery-sounding cymbals stick out like a sore thumb in the right listening environment

I only buy music on itunes as a last resort, so I don't have a huge sample size.
Everything you just wrote is wrong and I'm only commenting to make you aware of that. Enjoy your downvotes.
> I worked with an RF engineer who'd been in the field since the 70s, and he'd always use the auto-router for anything "slow". If it was "digital dc" or digital logic or under a MHz then it was auto-routed because he didn't have time for that. Anything critical that carried RF or drove a reference was hand-routed first then anything left would get the auto-routing treatment. And this was in a radio astronomy observatory!

Your example perfectly illustrates that autorouting is a catch 22: in order to get something useful out of autorouters you either have to (a) provide them with a enough information on signal, DRC, and fab parameters OR (b) have a design so simple that it doesn't really matter. (a) requires subject matter expertise that beginners won't have and (b) really is such simple point and click that beginners don't gain anything from an autorouter. The beginner already has to learn enough to place components on the board before routing, which IMO is where 80% of the leverage of expertise comes in anyway.

The calculation changes if you're all bought in on an EDA package like Altium and you know all about modular schematics and PCB docs on with standardized PCB layering. Then maybe you can start cobbling together quick designs that are largely autorouted but again, catch 22: you have to know enough Altium to know how to do that and enough electronics to know how to select open source modules and parts.
From the abstract, it is said to be lower energy than from oil as feedstock. Combined with a recycle drive, if this is nett lower carbon burden (there's always some) then it's a triple win: less waste stream to dump, less particulate microplastic waste; less oil burden and less dependence on oil; and lower energy burdens with less aggregate carbon footprint.

Maybe, as John McCarthy liked to say, we'll be thinking our forefathers for providing us high value strip mines in clay sealed pits (ie, garbage dumps) for feedstock as well as trace elements and rare earths and lost Nintendo games.
I like it, but holy moly startup time is slow. Supposedly v3 will be faster but I have not tried the insider preview.
I have a nice amp (Loxjie A30), but the bluetooth connection is both fidgety and subject to all the usual bluetooth incompetence (year 20 of the alpha test.)

I have a raspberry pi running a spotify connect implementation outputting audio to the amp via usb. It sits there and silently (or, well, not so silently) works; it's great!

There's some mucking with alsa to get it set up, but under 90 minutes.
I like the way you think ;)
I happened to have had a flight a day or two after the first beta of Apple’s Private Relay a year or two ago. I was able to use free WiFi the entire flight. Presumably because whatever they whitelisted for iMessage and/or push notifications covered that as well. They had blocked it before my return flight days later. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Low-code-no-code: it’s all fun and games until it isn’t; and when it isn’t it’s an tire-fire.
Why shouldn’t they be done by people with potential?

It seems to me the opposite. The world runs on a lot of shit jobs. Young people on some path to important leadership positions in society should with have real experience in these positions.

E.g: I learned a lot about efficiency and working with diverse and problematic people when I worked fast food as a teenager. I learned a lot about automation and prison when I worked in a factory in college. Both shaped a lot of my mental model for the world, and I think both contributed a lot to long term leadership skills.

The only shit high school job I don’t think I learned anything from was fruit picking. Other than maybe just how miserable it is.
Since the fediverse has been kind of blossoming recently, maybe the ActivityPub-based Funkwhale could become popular, too? I haven’t tried using it yet myself but it always seemed like it was made to be in the same niche as Bandcamp. It would be pretty neat to see an open platform succeed in that space either way :)

If you are organizing your prisons properly, this is not an issue. Inmates who are sentenced for serious crimes like gang stuff should never be able to communicate with each others without supervision. They are people who really like to abuse all kind of weakness and kindness shown to them, so I don't feel sad if they have really bad and lone time in prison. Things like prison gangs are so stupid and easily preventable if you don't let inmates "socialize" with each others all the time.
>Nothing is going to give you more empathy for the people working in those jobs than having done it yourself for at least a couple years.

Have you worked in a restaurant or retail? No one gets more abuse than those workers.

The real reason we want teenagers in low-skilled jobs is to keep wages low. That's it. Not tradition, not social cohesion, not to teach anyone "responsibility" or "empathy" but simply to undercut the labor market, because if more adults worked those jobs, they would be paid more.

I don't know specifically. I imagine that a lot of the concepts came from naval architecture (sloshing of fuel, water and cargo has sunk many ships through the ages, for example, as well as hull resonances called "springing") then aviation (e.g. "flutter", where the wings oscillate, has destroyed planes) and space and missiles (again with the fuel sloshing, and other modes like pogo oscillation where the vibration feeds back into the engines and self-reinforces). Some concept of it also in civil engineering: the Tacoma Narrows bridge is the canonical example.

Fundamentally they're all somewhat similar in that there's a flexible and/or sloshing thing that doesn't have a huge mass that it's rigidly connected to. Spacecraft deployed in space usually have smaller forces on them (no air or water and the hard acceleration is done) but are also much flimsier due to being ultra-light. Telescopes are even worse as even a tiny vibration can ruin the usefulness of the optical paths.

Vibration of telescopes is an issue on Earth as well, e.g.: https://opg.optica.org/ao/abstract.cfm?uri=ao-53-21-4651
Some of the aesthetic changes in watchOS 10 are significant regressions. For me, they changed how many of the complications appear, and they're harder to read at a glance.

I really wish Apple made the watch faces more customizable.
I think the SH of a splat also depends on geometry around it, for shadows and reflections, so if the sphere is inside a scene, the sphere's SHs may not all be rotations of each other.

Cause I've seen SH used for baked-in shadows.

Nope, that's just Federal.

About half of the states have their own OSHA organizations, but I don't know much about how effective they are. In the northeast where I grew up most of the state-run OSHA orgs only dealt with state/county/city government jobs and left private employers to Federal OSHA.
> He draws a natural comparison between this process and that of language acquisition, which also depends on “having a rich built-in array of constraints that allow the leap from scattered data to whatever it is that you acquire. That’s virtually logic.” And so, “even if you’re the most extreme cultural relativist, you are presupposing universal moral values. Those can be discovered.”

I'm not saying Chomsky's conclusions are wrong, but I don't see any evidence for them in this article. It seems predicated on the above: drawing a "natural" comparison between acquiring language and acquiring moral values, but there's no basis stated for that comparison. What's "natural" about it? They may be similar processes but how are we assuming that out of hand?

Chomsky is a linguist & honestly this seems like a protection of realities within his own primary field of knowledge, onto separate fields, with scant justification of the similarities.

Again, the fields - and processes - may well be comparable, but nowhere does this seem to be interrogated.
The issue is “requirements”. With a nocode system a person can create something that solves their immediate problem. Which is usually to get something done quickly that their boss wants so they don’t get fired (sorry too honest?). But things built that way usually wont end up being efficient ir maintainable. Everyone self servicing bespoke “code like” setups leads to a mess. There is a level of polish before self service makes sense to me. For example using dropbox is OK. Making a dropbox like thing in Bubble is probably bad!
Thanks! Sounds like the opt key on Macs or the AltGr key on some international keyboards
May I ask what's the point of attaching a standalone computer to a raspberry pi?
FYI I believe all of those ~1TB $10-20 USB drives on amazon are scams- basically set up to trick your computer into showing a terabyte of disk space available, but not actually having that much available if you try to write it all. I was in the market for "largest reasonably priced usb drive" earlier this year and ended up with a 1 TB usb drive for about $80.
This here. Fully centralized IT is stifling, shadow/decentralized is chaotic. Good structures come from hybrid, matrix-like approaches.
Of course there are multiple dimensions to the employees decision of how much they are willing to trade their time for, but they are always boiled down to a singular financial value. This value is what they are paid.

I reject your assertion that an employee clearly realizes more than $20/hr in value to their employer. But even if they did: why should the employer be forced to pay them more, when the job itself is unskilled and therefore has a surplus of folks demanding the position, even at their current rates of pay?
Sure, all behavior exhibits variation within evolutionary constraints. But it is still not the case that "all of our ethical theories are based on arbitrary axioms". That is no more true than that the weather is "based on arbitrary axioms".
I don't want a night train, I want a day train.

The train isn't too rugged for them to run 3 trains per day instead of 1, running at different times, so you can choose the time you leave a given station.

You hire people not because of skill but the fact that they can be exploited or not?
I disagree. As a listener, the lossy encodings I've heard are fairly annoying, especially in the higher frequencies.

I haven't heard every lossy encoding, of course, and there may be an actually good one that escaped my attention.
Right, but ChatGPT cannot debug your software for you either, not without a lot of work. Traditional autorouting is connecting pins - similar to how ChatGPT glues together software components.
As someone dabbling in the 3D space as a hobby, Gaussian Splats have been the hot trend these past few weeks and everyone in the 3D space is looking into it for getting realistic photo scans into 3D, as an alternative / supplement to NeRF and photogrammetry.
Well I think you are asking in jest, there are some things you can do which amount to using it as minimally as possible. Basically make it as few steps as possible, using the minimal amount of options, and just call your own scripts.

The secondary benefit of this is that you move towards a world where you can "run CI" locally. This is something I try to do with all my CI now. If you've ever pushed a stream of commits trying to fix a CI only bug, you'll really appreciate the green of the grass once you get to the other side :]
Where are the push notifications originating from? Does Overcast have a cloud service that polls the RSS feeds and then sends the notification? I use AntennaPod on Android, and it definitely doesn't do anything like that -- the feed list is stored locally, and the feeds are polled locally.
This is such a great idea! I've used Squid like 15 years ago when no suitable AI existed. Looks like it can finally be put to some use :-)
Yes that's correct. And for using it, you have to draw rectangles before you can add a prompt, similar to Photoshop's generative fill UI. Check out the video on the landing page. Lmk if you face further issues, and sorry about the lacking instructions (I'm not a great webdev).
The problem is that Amtrak has two conflicting dual mandates:

* make a “profit”

* run essential 3km+ long distance services. These often serve rural areas without parallel Interstate routes

And has never been given the appropriate amount of money to do both at the same time.
As a total noob, will this help me design my first parts using a kit like a Pico W kit with motors, switches, LEDs and such? Will the ECD be helpful in making sure I get stuff close-ish?
> Fast food restaurants clearly realize more than $20/hr in economic value from their hourly employees in California, much like they do in Europe.

This is certainly true on the whole, but it is not necessarily true at the margin. It's quite likely that in response, fast food restaurants will be motivated to slim down their staffing more than they would otherwise.

Keeping the store open might well be worth $30/hour per remaining employee, but the new equilibrium might involve things like closing drive thrus, moving to digital-only checkout, very high productivity expectations, etc.

What makes this extra nice on Series 9 is that simple Siri requests are handled completely on-device. https://www.engadget.com/apple-watch-series-9-can-handle-sir...
They’re usually quite blameful, just the people blamed are often dead.

But even so you don’t want to explain to the boss why you tried to save a few bucks and caused an investigation. So the expensive but safe route wins.

> No matter immigrants or not, they need to get locked up, and they would've gotten locked up in their respective countries.

Because the perpetrators are often children/teenagers, in many places actually not. It's the underage factor making many of these cases challenging to prosecute.
So, how are you gauging if someone is offering $18 or $20?
I tried it by using the microphone input looped to an audio device monitor and playing the downloadable (wav) for scope-quake. The scope locked up and would not respond until I reloaded the page. Maybe it works for you? Give it a try.

Better than disabling capslock is to remap it to left control. In Windows, you can use SharpKeys [0] to update the registry to reconfigure behavior, or just use autohotkey (SharpKeys can't flip meanings, only overwrite one), although AHK won't work while you're logging into your user account on startup so SharpKeys is nicer. Not sure about Linux but I'm sure it's possible.

Never having to reach all the way to the actual Left Ctrl button is actually a godsend, it's a much much nicer UX.

The Pi is probably too powerful for the hobbiest game market just like your saying. I think the Playdate also somewhat fills that niche but maybe the Pi could be something in between the two extremes of modern consoles power and the 8bit fantasy consoles.

For it to work and avoid the issues with PCs it'd need a unified controller, sdk, and a single model that games would be made for.

You're a 100% corect though it'd be a lot harder to make games for compared to fantasy consoles.
> you can access TLS and it will cause UB, in purely safe code.

Errrk. I was looking at using it (because async really does suck from a usability point of view compared to green threads). Do you have a link?

Hmmm. Is it TLS consuming too much stack? https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/111272

That would be an issue for green threads. And other things, as I discovered when I took a brief look at the may code to see if they handled stack allocation. Turns out may doesn't don't handle it directly - the standard library (nightly) has a way of creating stacks for co-routines (generator::Gn). May's green threads are just co-routines, and the Rust nighly library provides the stack.

That means if it is the issue I linked to, it's a bit unfair to blame it on may. The same bug will manifest itself any Rust nightly generator that calls TLS.

Probing further, it generator::Gn creates using stack::Stack, and stack::Stack allocates stacks using malloc. And yes, that guarantees stack overflow will cause UB of the worst sort because it just overwrite the next malloced block. Someone should lookup "man 5 mmap" on Linux and BSD. Both have ways that create stacks behave very nicely, including causing a hard fail if they overflow rather than UB. I presume Windows has a similar function.

To repeat the point I keep making: all these issues with green threads aren't intrinsic issues to the concept. They arise because the initial Rust implementation wasn't well designed, and not implemented particularly well either.
That's an awfully brown colored pink bed in the demo :)

The tech itself looks amazing though, well done.

> Amazon is awash with 928Gb units for about £10

Those are almost certainly 8 to 32GB drives that are modified to report a higher capacity. They are scams that hope your return window expires before you try to load them up with a lot of data. Nobody can profitably manufacture flash drives for less than the wholesale price of the flash chips.
I almost never set a timer on my watch by hand. The main reason is that I like to give my timers names. And the only way to do that on the watch is via Siri. So I’ll raise the watch and say “Hey Siri, 5 minutes” if I want an unnamed timer, or—more frequently— “Hey Siri set a 5 minute tea timer”, or “Hey Siri, set a 15 minute pizza timer.”
That's great. I never would've known any of those, but I love your explanations.
Microsoft's problem is they seem to be hiring fired Google project managers which is already pretty bad bar to be at.
Using this translation as a reference: http://mountainman.com.au/tao_1_9.html, there are a few places that really stand out.

Section 1 can be understood in terms of the incomprehensible "Logos" which is before both the "logoi" (in Latin, "ratio"; that is, "reasons") in things, as well as before the human "logos"; the rational mind by which we can understand those things.

Section 4 has parallels to many Biblical passages (Isaiah 40:4, John 4:14, etc) and speaks of the Tao as being like an "offspring" or "preface" to God.

Likewise, Sections 7-9, 13 & 14, 16, 22, 27, and many others have strong parallels to Biblical passages.

Section 42 speaks of the Tao begetting One, the One begetting Two, the Two begetting Three, and the Three begetting all else. This is definitely not exactly the Trinity, but the cosmology here (and see the Taijitu Shuo) is suggestive...

Section 78 says that only one who takes up the shame and sins of the world is fit to be its ruler.

Anywhere one can find concepts or themes that "rhyme", I find there to be something real and weighty.

Who are you speaking for? Do you own a business that employs low-skilled labor?
You have to raise your wrist to your mouth first to prime Siri, which may not be easy to do while cooking.
Because you’re not changing the service you’re providing and a “worse” worker doesn’t decrease the throughput of the store in any measurable fashion.

This increase will get passed onto the consumer, and it will also create more competition in who can maintain the constraint of $20/hr for pay while decreasing the rest of their costs to compete with the McDonald’s and KFCs.

For example, reducing the profit margin.
I appreciate the effort but this was terrifying to read.

I think at this point I try to just not care anymore. Software and businesses that are currently great will go to shit and there's nothing I can do about it. Try to enjoy it whilst it lasts and don't get too attached or involved.

Sincerely,

someone who has been bitten too many times.

> I think it's pretty telling that the people who do want to be in VR all day [...] generally go for either vaguely humanlike abstract avatars

I'd wager that's more a product of technological limitations (and overall awkwardness) than a matter of demographics. Video games and other fully 3D environments tend to avoid photorealism at all cost, because it's compute-expensive and ugly. By comparison, simple cartoon characters, blobs or robots are inoffensive and perfectly usable abstractions. Even this "Avatar Encoder" is 'cheating' by only rendering a relatively static portion of your face. It would be almost unusable in a VRChat-style environment where dynamic lighting and shadows are concerned.
