I'm earning half my previous salary, and I'm single, so it was definitely an adjustment. I had heard about the 30 hour per week cutoff for benefits, but I was surprised that my company was able to provide full benefits at 20 hours per week. It's a very large company, so I know they're following all the laws properly. Maybe the ones that require a minimum of 30 simply aren't up-to-date on the latest laws.

It probably helps to be a top performer and have years of experience. But if I were to be let go tomorrow, I'm sure it'll be difficult to find again. But I'm going to try! Never hurts to try when you know what you want.

I keep a low profile but the extra days per week are fun to fill! There does seem to be some sort of mental flip between 3 days and 4 days because I know that the majority of my week is whatever I want to do versus the majority (or vast majority) being work.
My bad. Fixed.
A few months ago a few recruiters approached me about a job with a company that works 4 days a week.

They work 4 10 hour days a week.

There's just no way to balance that kind of schedule and children. I was very frank when I responded to the recruiter.
Europol Sought Unlimited Data Access in Online CSAM Abuse Regulation
Also most receivers for super economically important things like a avionics or marine navigation, but shutting off WAAS specifically (augmented accuracy data for GPS broadcasted using a much smaller set of satellites) would affect air traffic that need it to land in low visibility at an increasing number of airports.

Though, to the OP's point about GPS, WAAS is operated by the FAA, so it isn't clear to me whether not passing the defense authorization would affect it in the near term.
It is worse than that. For those old enough to remember, at least in the USA the old Bell System ad's from the 50's and 60's were to be sure to answer all calls within three rings. That 'within three' part got burned into the minds of the generation that is 75+ now, which is why so many of them treat a ringing phone as 'absolute number one priority'. Me, I heard the #*$&$ thing ring so much growing up, with 80-90% being sales calls, that I can listen to a phone ring, ignore it, and go on about whatever it is I was doing that the caller so rudely wanted to interupt.

Before Android required that permission, there were marketing companies selling malls the ability to see who was around by the ID of their Bluetooth beacon.
I can sell you a little box that you plug their phone into and it will answer the phone and present a phone tree:

"If you want to speak to Marv, press 1. If you want to speak to Pat, press 2. If you know the name of the person who lives here, press 3."

If the caller presses 3, they have to punch in the first 3 letters of the name of the person they are trying to reach.

If, instead, the caller punches in 5284, it routes the call through.

All other calls or terminated without the phone ringing.

This can also work for cellphones with a cheaper box, but takes a little more effort to configure.

If an sd card is too slow and too unreliable for you, considering the full price of a raspberry pi (including case, fan, psu etc) you might be better served by some intel based small computer, like a thin client or some small form factor computer (hp, dell, lenovo have many models, that can also be acquired super cheap on ebay and similar).
It's so funny that literally every single other post in this thread is wordy overly politely-written 'this was absolutely a false-positive and we should really give the benefit of the doubt waffle waffle waffle' comments that just reek of AI with that cloying overly sanctimonious tone you can detect with the briefest of glances

Recently my elderly mother's been getting calls where the caller ID is "spoofed" with someone actually associated to her. She's received calls that say my name and a phone number I used in college, many years ago. She even received a phone call from her brother who died in 2019.

There are so many SIMD libraries nowadays.

I myself implemented one in the SSE4/Altivec days (later extended to AVX, AVX512 and NEON). There were only a few options then, but now everyone seems to be doing it.
You joke but sometimes that is the most practical answer.

In my 20s I lived near Manhattan and my goal was to move into Manhattan. But.. it never happened. Way too expensive. I beat my head against that wall for a couple years but it became clear it was impossible.

So I moved to a (back-then) much cheaper area of California and bought a house.
I assume that is a tongue-in-cheek description for Grand Theft Auto (whichever one they made online). That game series has had various moral discussions / controversy surrounding it since before the first game came out like 25 years ago.
There's definitely value in providing this functionality for photographs taken in the present.

But I think the real value -- and this is definitely in Google's favor -- is providing this functionality for photos you have taken in the past.

I have probably 30K+ photos in Google Photos that capture moments from the past 15 years. There are quite a lot of them where I've taken multiple shots of the same scene in quick succession, and it would be fairly straightforward for Google to detect such groupings and apply the technique to produce synthesized pictures that are better than the originals. It already does something similar for photo collages and "best in a series of rapid shots." They surface without my having to do anything.

Not really - you don't need to dispatch anything, the idea is that the same code (and thus the same assembly/machine code) can operate on different sizes by itself. e.g. with RVV "vsetvli x0,x0,e32,m1,ta,ma; vadd.vv v0, v1, v2" on a CPU with 128-bit vectors will do 4 element additions, but on a CPU with 1024-bit vectors it'll do 32 additions.

And some things you just can't really "generalize" to scalable vectors. e.g. you can store Simd<i32,4> in a struct or global variables, or initialize with, say, [3,2,1,0], but none of those things are possible with scalable vectors (globals/struct fields need a known size, and initializing with a hard-coded list of elements doesn't make much sense if you don't even know how many elements you'll need).
Not being able to inline and having to branch on every call to a simd function can sometimes make it slower than the basic scalar version.

I think using allusions to realism with AI is a dangerous road to start out on.
That's my point. I think the vast majority of adults have some amount of personal business that already isn't getting done. Shortening the week is going to make it worse.
That's the entire point. It didn't "happen" to predict exactly the same type of figure. It used the context photos to know what type of figure it should render.

You might be getting a bit confused because here the training process has to happen every time you use it, whereas in most AI applications you only perform inference for actual use.

You might find comfort in the fact that karma always comes around eventually and more money blatantly does not equal more happiness.

Is there an open source Low-Code system that works?

Where I work we currently have 2 low code tools for automating internal business processes.

Now a new executive has appeared and his answer to two of these systems is to get a third. This time it will be MS PowerApps.

It seems that Low-Code is all high cost. The costs for licencing these platforms is 1-2 developers per year for our organisation of roughly 800 people.

No doubt making applications on the web that work with SAML integration is harder than it could be, but the low-code tools lack of versioning and the ability to do automated testing is poor. Especially given the licencing costs.

Even a good web based GUI for drawing UI's would be useful. But cost really is a factor.

Visual Basic was a low code tool that did enable non-coders to create applications that were useful. It appears that the current crop of low-code tools are not near VB's ease of use or utility.
Highly improbable.

While in theory they could be earning billions in interest just sitting on all that cash, there’s very little reason to believe the billions they claim to have exist. Do they seriously expect people to believe that they have more assets under management than at peak crypto in 2021, with billions more pouring in regularly?

CO2 in seawater is in equilibrium with that in the atmosphere, so there's a constant exchange, and the ocean is a primary (short-term) sink of CO2.

The advantage of sourcing CO2 from seawater as opposed to the atmosphere is that the energy cost of doing so is far lower. That's a key message (unsure if it's an original finding) of 2010s USNRL research by Willauer et al I'd looked at when it made news a ways back.

I wonder how personalized are autocompletions on Android and iPhone. How strongly could we infer, if at all, that someone had used the term dialectical before? Are autocompletions personalized enough that they might suggest dialectical over diacritic because someone had used (or received!) words like Hegel or capitalism? (Or maybe we could merely only infer someone's phone is using a European English word probability database as in European discourse dialectics might be even more common than diacritics. ;)

I was left wondering the same.

My best guess would be that slope detection could be converting the FM signal into AM. This happens in circuits where the response is strongly dependent on frequency (see [1]). A specifically designed filter is typically used, but a resonant circuit like the headphone wires could do something similar. But then you still need to get from AM to audible, and to do that you still need some sort of non-linearity in the system. Some possibility non-linearies could be a poor connection resulting in a whisker-style rectifier junction, or perhaps a magnetic permeability non-linearity in the headphone speakers. I'm sure there are others.

Related, but probably not relevant: Stereo FM broadcast signals in most parts (all parts?) of the world also contain an AM subcarrier. The primary FM carrier has the L+R audio content and is used by both monaural and stereo receivers. Stereo receivers make use of an additional AM modulated sub-carrier (+/- 38 kHz from primary carrier) to obtain L-R audio content. I don't believe this AM carrier is directly rectifiable because it does not manifest as envelope modulation in the full signal.

At this point, I think civil disobedience is the solution.

Uber fixed the taxi industry (and then started taking a cut for itself) by just flouting the law -- until it had a fait accompli that most people liked.

The same thing will have to be done with housing, by people who have the resources to do it.

The problem is, it's difficult for this to be a grassroots civil-disobedience thing. That's called building a favela. Though honestly that could work too.

What the example of the favela (or, before that, the homeless camp) highlights is that property is as much about security (violence/force) as about construction. The camp can always be bulldozed. That's what a lack of property rights actually means, materially. I don't know how one provides security in a civilly-disobedient way.

Another reason to expatriate. The entitlement to demand vassal-like fealty from employees can encroach to become anti-personal growth to the individual. A person is more than their job, and the notion that one’s needs are subservient to career promotion is a limiting belief.

If every person instead operated a bit more like a company, rather than a vassal, they’d be a little more assertive in their negotiating of boundaries.
