Same here - love my Tuesdays off and going for long bike rides before collecting the kids from school to play. Costco never seems to have quiet times near me any more though! I get the Friday Feeling on a Monday afternoon, get the out of office ready and switch off mentally. Every Public holiday that falls on a Monday gives an automatic 4 day weekend. I try to avoid squeezing in too many odd-jobs like a weekly food shop. Like you, I would also only look for a new job that could be flexible on 4 days.
Keep in mind this is not an advocacy group putting together this report. This is a real estate analyst calling for reducing interest rates.
It's been known to not do a whole lot for at least a decade, it just took until recently for the FDA to catch up and say "no you can't sell it".
“Into dudes” provides context which genders the noun. It’s really not that hard.

Context is everything.

That sounds like something subjective and not a baseline. A baseline is a uniform standard minimal acceptance criteria. Imagine the employer is irrelevant because the technical qualifications are always the same uniform thing, which would be a baseline. It could be specific to technology platform, such as OS specific, Java, web, and so forth so long as it is focused on the technology and not created by a single specific employer.
It's disappointing that the US government hasn't done more to stop this.

In this specific case, the author should probably see if he can get his parents put in a conservatorship. That would at least help limit the damage when one of the scams does eventually work.
I admit, it's apocryphal. But, if there is a gap anywhere in joint in the headboard, and it oxidized, that's likely enough. Still, I believe my family. Maybe I have details wrong (likely) but it was a headboard and they heard radio from it.
Reminds me of this comment from Dee Xtrovert on Metafilter, who survived the seige of Sarajevo: https://www.metafilter.com/78669/What-if-things-just-keep-ge....

“But here's the main point: 'Preparing' for the disaster really didn't do anyone much good. Those who 'prepared' ate a little better for a while. They stayed warmer for a few extra days. They enjoyed the radio for a while longer (via batteries.) But in the end, they ended up hungry, cold and bored too, just like the rest of us. Guns and weapons helped no one directly and were even of little to no use in the defense of Sarajevo, since they were toys compared to the shells, bombs and high-powered armaments of the attacking forces. The worst parts of war were psychological - the fear, anxiety, boredom, loneliness, paranoia, bad dreams. Respite from those things came with sharing food with a neighbor, finding a piece of clothing that would fit someone you knew, commiserating with others in your position, figuring out how to make make-up from brick or french fries from wheat paste and spreading this newly-acquired war knowledge around the mahala.

We knew who had extra food and supplies. For the most part, they weren't attacked or hassled or bothered. Contrary to what these survivalists say, those in dire times generally hold on to their personal sense of pride even more than they do in normal times. I'd take a bite of a friend's salad without bothering to ask in normal times. I'd never have done that in wartime, no matter how hungry I was.

Within the domain of those trapped in the city, civility greatly increased.”
Can Germans take their country to court for not taking national defense seriously?

The problem isn't detecting the width (that's trivially possible at runtime with a single instruction, though both SVE and RVV have a way to write loops such that you don't even need to).

The problem is that a "Simd<i32, 4>" will always have 4 elements, but you'd need a "Simd<i32, whatever the hardware has>" type, which has significant impact on what is possible to do with such a type.

> Google may indeed be a good, responsible steward of the data but what those that come after them?

I don't think this is a good argument, because the same argument can be used against technological advancement of any kind.

For example with genetics research that addresses diseases - you can say "ah but even though the current government is responsible, who is to say that we won't get a bad govt in 20 years who will use this capability to use bioweapons that perform genocide".

We shouldn't build factories, because the next generation can convert those factories into ones that make guns?

No, we have to count on each generation of humans to be responsible. This worked for the last ~5000 years of civilization or so, and I think it's the way it has to keep working

I used to play with IP-over-DNS, which more or less worked on an awful lot of these plane wifi systems. Haven't tried it in the past couple years though; it's always slow the point of barely being usable. You can probably get your mail via IMAP if you're patient and nobody's sending you large attachments, that's about it.
That is because Joe Manchin can still think independently and understands the value of the filibuster to the independent minority.

That's not even what they said. In 99% of the Nation (really 500 hand-picked counties), the _average_ person can't afford the home. Obviously, half of the people are above average!
I wonder if their terms of service states claims to give them permission to distribute malware or if they think they won't get caught.

Everybody is different. We recently had 2 Fridays off a month and it just dropped back to 1 Friday off a month. I feel more productive, actually, contrary to what most people are saying. Fridays are mostly clear of meetings so I can actually focus more unlike other days of the week.
I live in my hometown. It's not a big city, but the tech scene is surprisingly good and I think objectively it's a pretty good place to live.

Many of my friends have moved to bigger cities and we'll try to get together when they're in town. Inevitably the conversation turns to, "how are your parents doing?" and often it's not good news. People used to come home for fun, but now it's usually because something bad happened.

On another post I mentioned my parents' policy of, "if I didn't call you, I don't want it" and I am thankful every day for the problems we don't have.
Wow, 1996? This is like one of the biggest music "who shot JFK?" cases of the modern day.

Old geezer suggestion: Try to tell them stories about people and the situations they were in - with the old hardware and tech as (at most) props and costumes. If they're that young, and not too weak in the social skills, they should pick up pretty soon that you're mostly teaching 'em about corporate culture, handling managers, gracefully dealing with sudden problems, etc.
Please explain the quote in my other comment from your source.

It really just seems like you're uncomfortable with the fact that you're wrong about this, having resorted to name calling. It's ok, this really is a common mistake to make. I do encourage you to read the Wikipedia links you sent though. I think they do a good job of explaining what I have said. Just remember that individuals are not the public. The public actually owns national parks. The whole public as an entity.

Actually I just found another Wikipedia page which may help elucidate this for you, if you're still having trouble with the links you posted.

I hope the first two lines will make things clear :-)
Agreed, the "Reference-Driven Generation" part is totally fine, but "authentic" is overselling it.
It was a huge mistake to let "we overbuilt" become the dominant narrative about the subprime mortgage crisis, so named because it was a crisis of giving unlendable people mortgages.
And people wonder why many westerners don’t value the rule of law as a concept anymore. It’s almost like they’re figuring out it was a sham all along.
The issue isn't necessarily a "housing crisis", but more so "prime land" crisis. There's huge enormous swaths of America that lay empty, but no one wants to live/build there.
Yeah, except it's still absolutely vulnerable to hallucination. Look at the last set of images on "Limitations" page. The algorithm knows that there's a sign with text there, and it uses the original image to get the right letters in there, but it randomly reorders the letters rather than using the source image. "Real" and "authentic" is extremely misleading here.

That said, props to them for calling out the limitations so clearly. I really appreciate it when people are up front with the problems like that.
The problem right now isn't construction capacity, it's zoning.
Integration is exponentially harder if you're a (potentially traumatized) and uneducated asylum seeker from a poor country, compared to someone who migrates for work and already holds some qualifications. So, in that sense Sweden's migration policies are to be blamed, since the country has received way more asylum seekers per capita than most other EU countries.

Apparently Sweden has the highest gap between employment rate of citizen and non-EU citizen in the whole European Union. I think it's mainly because so many migrants arrived to seek asylum rather than work. But yes, city planning and ineffective legal system do not exactly help either.

I've experienced one of the CVS stores in question first hand. It's total chaos where your short staff, people at the drive thru, phone is ringing, 8 people standing in line with half of them just rude, med refills never ready on time. This year to compensate they shut down the drive thru, shorten hours, even close up a certain day. It's odd because a CVS 2 miles away is the complete opposite.

Then you'll see the neighborhood whiners show up on toxic Nextdoor to talk about the CVS experience, however many will offer smaller local pharmacies as a solution this past year. It's a well known issue with both CVS and Walgreens. Yet if you visit a Costco pharmacy it's loaded with staff, never a problem. I feel bad for the staff but it's all on CVS to manage better.

The last time I visited a few weeks ago, drive thru was fast at this location so hopefully it stays consistent.
KLM and United for sure have free in-flight messaging (at least as of a few days ago, the last time I used them).

It's interesting what does and doesn't go through. e.g. Facebook notifications update, but not the content. I guess that's because they use the same channel as FB Messenger.
As always, it depends.

Some badge technology is more prone to cloning than others. It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that airports aren't using the most up to date access control.

Another thing to consider is that many fully remote people don't want to live in the middle of nowhere or in a dead city with no services.

I've been fully remote for 10+ years and still only live in large metro areas mostly because I couldn't handle living in a large house in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do and no one to interact with.
Germany is irrelevant to the story at hand, but I find it extremely rich how since Covid many younger workers now feel entitled to a paycheck and full-time employment benefits even if they refuse to show up at work as requested or actually get any productive work done, whether in-person or remote.

Workers who have entered the workforce in the last few years, especially technology workers, seem to have a sense of entitlement and privilege previously unheard of.

I hate to break it to those of you in this camp, but life is hard. You have to go to work to make money and build a career for yourself. Your manager will probably ask you to come into the office at a location that is inconvenient for you and involves hours of weekly commuting time, and you'll have to decide whether you'll sacrifice your commute time for a paycheck and a chance at building your future career.

When we eventually get a recession (it will inevitably happen, sooner or later) these workers are going to have the rudest awakening ever when they discover that yes, you actually do have to work for money, and no, your manager is not required to pay you or keep you employed if you directly disobey an order like "please come into the office 3 days a week."
Very nice! I just installed, I hope to eventually contribute down the line, especially in terms of custom operators. They weren't even document until recently, and there's still quite some work to add them.
Recently, they switched to outsourcing some kind of tasks normally done by the in-pharmacy staff. Last time I was in there, the 5-6 people were standing around while they "waited for the cloud to catch up".

I've actually heard of research into putting celestial navigation in guided missiles (from people who've worked on it -- so the idea that this is possible seems to not be a secret). Cameras and optics have become good enough to make this plausible with those kind of constraints.

I don't know if it's been deployed, but I would not be surprised.

The emoji suggestion mechanism seem to be made by someone that have no idea how real people actually use emojis. Emojis are never an illustration of the previous word.

However, instead of clicking the dropdown, you can press ctrl-cmd-space once more to skip to the full picker. However, it's buggy, and half of the time it won't output the emoji I pick there for some reason.
When talking about affordability there is always someone who uses this argument, like everyone can freely move around. I work for a company that forces me to go to the office in a hub city, and I'm in a work visa that doesn't allow me to change employers, so my options are limited.

In any event saying "uproot your entire life and move someone cheaper" is a mean non-answer. Is it so unreasonable to ask for affordable housing for most in the biggest population centers?
Many ADHD meds, too. Between two very-ADHD kids, we lose tens of hours a year to screwing around with their prescriptions, plus the paid time various professionals lose to it. Some of it’s unavoidable (if you insist on the level of safeguards they apply to these) but a ton of it’s just because the processes are terrible and nobody’s bothered to make them better. One of those hidden costs of our healthcare system.

Last few insurance plan sheets I’ve looked over have also all had higher copays (like 3x higher, iirc) for mailed drugs. Not sure why.
Uh what. Please tell me where those houses are. It would be stupid not to buy every one you can find. Even if they were so undesirable — sit on them some years you literally can’t lose.
Hehe pedant but after that action, it's no longer a 0day...
There is no fractional reserve banking; in other words, deposits don’t create loans. On the contrary, loans create deposits. If people have good jobs with stability, they can get loans for homes, vehicles, vacations, etc.

I think you picked the wrong country. Mexico has a growing population, build a government program where they get a path to citizenship (maybe dual) if they come over and legit work in the housing development industry. Incentivize housing developers to hire them legally for projects that build middle-class affordable housing, not McMansions. Incentivize home buyers (for these houses) with lower interest rates and forbid corporate ownership of these houses. Spend some extra money to watch for, catch and prosecute the fraudsters that will be there.

This is simplifying the issue too much. Mauna Kea is the most sacred mountain in Hawaiian culture, Arecibo wasn't built in particularly special land as far as I know.
I know this is a common talking point, but what are you suggesting, specifically? Are you accounting for temporarily vacant homes due to finding new tenants? Or homes that are up for sale? Or whether people actually want to live in the places these homes exist? eg are you suggesting struggling tenants in San Francisco should move to Detroit? What about vacation homes, are you suggesting policies to make it harder to own a second home?
I interpreted "you’ll be notified to clear it" in the sense of "You will be notified that this is the reason the camera won't take pictures".

It seems like a logical assumption - what's the point of adding tech to prevent the target-visible warning light from being obscured, if you're still allowed to take the pictures with it obscured?
Cool tech, but plastering "authentic" all over this kind of generated photography is really disingenuous and just rubs me the wrong way. I get that it's informed by real details from other photos, but that's not what authentic means.

If I buy an "authentic Rolex" and receive a Chinese Rolex clone that's built similarly based on observations of a real Rolex, I'm going to feel scammed and very upset. And I'm much more protective of my memories than I would be of a watch.
Ye well not answering the phone used to be a thing that you just did not do. I guess you forget that times change when you get ... forgetfull.

>All common handset devices used in CONUS (every iphone, android phone, etc) will ignore BeiDou signals.

This is correct for smartphones and the likes (all handsets??), though not entirely correct for all GNSS receivers. For example, I regularly use receivers with uBlox F9P chipsets with BeiDou enabled from factory [0].

>Would love if someone hacked the GNSS firmware to make it usable, but haven't seen it happen yet.

If we ask the Broadcom or Qualcomm engineers nicely, they might tell us how to unblock them for their smartphone chipsets in the US. I might’ve seen it before :)

That's effectively search on the decision tree. There's a lot of research on this!

Look into Montecarlo tree search, CFRM, AB pruning, and also more recent deep learning methods.

It's a very exciting area of research
It seems that in this case the performance per watt is essentially the same. There is no point in rushing to sleep if perf per watt is constant, you will only end up giving the chip a higher amperage and loosing even more to heat in the power delivery (internal battery resistance, traces and power supply). The slower cooler phone will perform as well and also deliver better sustained performance over time as the peak burst current of the battery decreases.
I tried prescription delivery by mail for the first time this year, and it's been phenomenal. No more fighting for parking and waiting in line forever, or forgetting to pick up the prescription in time. It just arrives on a subscription whenever it needs to. It's really nice!
Nice idea. Might not need multiple pics given Google’s image dataset and ability to recognise what you’re looking at.

I'm currently using a low-code tool for prototyping an app [1] together with a team that has no professional software engineers (although there are researchers capable of programming in Python/R).

I found the tool super easy to use and we managed to have a functional app in one afternoon, but when they tried to use it themselves it wasn't as intuitive – the tool works best if you already posses some intuition of relational model, CRUD patterns, etc. Without this intuition the other members were having a hard time understanding how to better structure the data for the app, and started trying to "hack" it to make the app work the way they expected instead of working with the abstractions available.
