In general, a lot of government fees and penalties are not just about that penalty, it's about the fact that if you do it again, the next one will be much, much bigger. Read the $150K as a warning shot across the bow.

There are some places where this doesn't seem to operate very well, particularly in the financial world, but in general, this is often the idea behind these penalties. Especially for the first time a law is getting enforced; it isn't really very just to ignore a law for years/decades and then one day out of the blue slam someone with multi-million dollar judgments. There are even some Common Law doctrines that the targets could use to argue against such penalties holding up in court, though, as always, trying to counter a written law with common law general doctrines is tricky. But I'd say there's at least a good chance you could get a sudden, huge initial penalty argued way down in a lawsuit.
Yeah, I had a similar head-tilt at leading with "How are you doing on a personal level?" I'm not outright opposed to the question -- managers are human (gasp) and it is true that we tend to work better with humans when we connect with them as such -- but it's going to take a lot of prior work for anyone with professional power over me to convince me that question is for my benefit and not simply to extract more value.

No - I'm suggesting that a satellite already at the end of its life, and heading to the graveyard orbit, go push it.

Damage is unlikely - collision speeds would be measured in millimeters per second, and forces in millinewtons.

For position accuracy, it would probably require a camera onboard - but most satellites already have a star tracker that includes a capable camera.

The main risk is that the satellites touch at the 'wrong angle' or blocking an attitude control thruster. That would immobilize both of them.
Is one of their top 3 supporters, the Titanium level 'User Manuals' just paying for a good backlink?
No, I am referring to the techniques. Daisugi is a loan word used to describe a technique the same way Bonsai is. They are the English terms.

The Japanese equivalent of coppicing is coppicing because we are speaking English and we already have a word to describe the technique.

Also to correct your older post no it’s not “pollarding with the discovery of a particular tree that's really really good at it.” Daisugi uses Bonsai techniques making it labor intensive across a long period. Pollarding only takes labor when you’re actually harvesting the tree.
Awesome, maybe you could have it keep track of what clothes you have and pick a full outfit for you?
Just because they have the information does not mean it is readily available in a form which will answer a question. Parts currently in service is probably something they have regular use for and is easy to access. Figuring out the complete history of a part probably takes quite a bit longer and is not a frequent use. Throw in several parts and I can believe they aren't ready to commit to an answer.
Not just in billing, but also in implementation cost and general overhead. I actively avoid buying anything which requires talking to a salesperson to get basic service info; ideally one has something like the Cloudflare self-service model with enterprise upgrades. I know someone currently paying >$800k/yr to Cloudflare who started out a couple years ago with a $200/mo plan.
There will be widespread government intervention. The only question is what it's going to look like.
Ask HN: Seeking Master's Thesis Idea Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering
Hello,

I am a computer science student based in Poland, and I am currently seeking ideas for my master's thesis. I hold a bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering and possess a stronger background in hardware development than programming. Additionally, I have hands-on experience in medical device development and certification processes.

My goal is to contribute to something medically related that can be genuinely useful, possibly making a positive impact on someone's life through the outcome of my thesis.

Do you have any suggestions, specific needs, or clues on where I can explore to discover meaningful thesis ideas in this field?

Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
By curiosity, why do you say it is crap ?
It's mostly fashion.
I don't think Hello World is a good example for anything; all you can do with it is microbenchmark, which is not particularly interesting. There are also no meaningful unit tests to write with Hello World.

With tiny examples, compile/tooling times tend to dominate.

More interesting would be a larger, non-toy prototype, where the tests and prototyping effort are meaningful.
Software engineering is what it is.

I think what's actually fuzzier is the definition of "real" engineering, whatever the hell that is. I'm not discounting that specific practices within engineering have clear definitions, but there's no one consistent way to lump every one of those professions together and have a cohesive "you're in or you're out" definition.
> Ignoring SD Express as a failure to launch, UHS SD cards can be plenty fast if they're designed to be. A hundred megabytes per second is not a significant bottleneck if individual IO operations are fast and it can do many of them.

As mentioned, random I/O tends to fail, but the other tradeoff here is that fast microSD card slots tend to get extremely hot. Not necessarily "failure" hot (stuff like the ROG had issues from other parts), but uncomfortable to hold, depending on where the thing is going to go.

> As opposed to the user spending $40 for a 512GB sandisk extreme, and giving the phone maker no extra money.

The thing is, price anchoring is a thing, and people are going to look at a phone that costs $400 and needs a $40 Extra Thing and a $500 phone and go "the latter is easier".
Looks like you were getting some down votes for talking about the almost worst case scenario. No rebuttals unfortunately
It's just blind prophecy and therefore a fiction.

There is no way to predict the growth of future knowledge. If there was it would be equivalent to already having said knowledge.

Whether people do or don't create some specific piece of knowledge is solely down to what problems they have, and whether we choose (individually or as a species) to attempt solve them or not.

Our fallible knowledge is the byproduct of us solving problems.
I've basically come to terms with how fucked we are as a species. I'm just hoping to live my life in a fulfilling manner, minimize the damage I personally do, and die with the understanding that our species and much life on this planet is probably doomed thanks to people too stupid to see through the oil propaganda, too lazy to change their lifestyles, or too greedy to be prevented from committing ecocide.

Sure, yeah, it's all sunshine and roses for the client, but I'm a DevOps engineer. It is very difficult on the server side.

You can enable it on CDNs pretty easily these days, but enabling it on the API side is more difficult. The nginx ingress controller for kubernetes doesn't support HTTP3 yet. It supports HTTP2, but I've heard that you can get into trouble with timeouts or something if you don't tune HTTP2 right. It does look like it's doable though, certainly more doable than HTTP3.

HTTP2 is a moderate lift from a systems administration standpoint, but it's also a risk. It means changing the infrastructure enough that outages can occur, so that I'd rather do this lift when things are more stable and the holiday season is over.
That's different, isn't it? An RTG only produces heat via radioactive decay. A nuclear reactor is a controlled chain reaction.
It’s product placement. Happens in retail and grocery all the time. Sellers pay to have their products at eye level, stores optimize placement to boost spending.
Now that it’s digital it’s illegal?
Perfect example of something that most people will think of as "not necessary", but a whole industry will understand as close to, if not outright, a deal-breaker!

It would be really cool to have some kind of open source community that developed these kinds of "usage specific" plugins across multiple open-source projects, to kind of patch in that functionality where it's missing. Some people to work on ever-evolving interfaces for the supported applications, and then some other people to write plugins that provided these features, progressively enhanced, based on those interfaces.

It would be a gargantuan effort, though, and you would just end up with a plugin soup without careful moderation (even more effort; and easy to go awry!) so c'est la vie!
I get a feeling it'll be "handled" in the same manner that it's "handled" in Cyberpunk 2077 if that's the scale that we're talking about.

Based on my understanding of how the torrent DHT works, all that’s happening is that youre requesting metadata on various torrent info hashes, but that’s not the same thing as actually downloading/seeding the content in the torrent itself.
I think some time in the next decade there will be a “perfect storm” heat wave combined with a power failure, and millions will die in days. This will jerk the Overton window and popular sentiment in an unpredictable direction, and no one knows what the world will look like on the other side of that.
One kissa is all it takes: Tokyo’s finest jazz haunts – in pictures
The debate over exact causes has always felt misguided to me. The planet is extremely complex, human impact on the planet is largely based on estimates and modeling, and at the end of the day an understanding of why it's getting hotter isn't itself a course correction.

There are such obvious first steps we could take without a complete understanding of cause if we really cared. We could easily cut our use of fossil fuels if we weren't trying to balance that with an arbitrary GDP growth target. We could stop incentivizing people and companies to consume disposable products. We could stop subsidizing massive industrial farms and instead focus on eating locally and growing some of your own food.

The list goes on, but having spent decades watching people debate passionately over why the planet is warming all while going further down the same path my only conclusion is that we just don't give a damn. When push comes to shove we would rather buy new cloths imported from the other side of the world, throw resources at new construction and gut job renovations, and will happily fly around the world on vacation rather than stay home and enjoy the world around us.

Oh and don't forget about new tech. Machine learning rebranded as AI is so ground breaking that we have no choice but to produce as many GPUs as we can and throw all the power and water needed to run the damn things 24/7.
I made tee shirts on RedBubble when I was 14 or 15. Really low quality designs from a non-artist for niche communities. One really caught on. Another two or so got a bit of traction. The other 30 never sold. Ended up making probably around $1,000 total in the end which is great for a kid who can't legally get a traditional job yet.

The market is super saturated now, and there are a lot of people with actual talent now too, which is a big win for the market as a whole so I'm glad!
> The degree of "El Nino" influence is presumably known, and if its strength is not related with global warming in complicated and unknown ways it would be good to overlay it as a distinct effect.

A brief web search suggests this presumption is incorrect and that climate change is having an effect on the cycle, rendering this division somewhat meaningless - the old El Nino is "gone," in a sense, and only the climate change effected one remains.

from: https://research.noaa.gov/2020/11/09/new-research-volume-exp...

“No two El Niños or La Niñas are perfectly alike,” Capotondi said. “We’ve seen how diverse ENSO events can be. This diversity adds another degree of complexity for understanding how climate change will influence future ENSO events.”

So how are ENSO impacts likely to evolve in the coming decades?

“Extreme El Niño and La Niña events may increase in frequency from about one every 20 years to one every 10 years by the end of the 21st century under aggressive greenhouse gas emission scenarios,” McPhaden said. “The strongest events may also become even stronger than they are today.”

It’s not whataboutism at all. Only people that don’t know that housebrands have been a thing forever would think that the evil Amazon is doing something unique.

And CVS follows the formula of name brand OTC drugs down to the very ingrediant to make house brands. You can’t copyright a shirt measurement.

And before you call me an “Amazon shill”. I got PIPed from Amazon less than two months ago. I’m the last person who has any love for Amazon. Honestly I don’t have any feeling either way. It was just my 8th job over 25 years, they gave me a nice check and I had a comparable offer within two weeks.
> the big Western satellite operators are generally moving in the right direction and have moved faster than regulators to try to set space debris management standards.

We'll see. Starlink/Kuiper use a low enough orbit that non-functional satellites will de-orbit on their own in a reasonable timeframe. But OneWeb, which is up at 1000km+ already has had a satellite failure. And although they've vowed to remove it somehow, it's not obvious how they'll do so.
I remember getting mine in the mail and being utterly astonished by that. My Apple Card number has been replaced three times and the fact that I mentally have to tell myself "no, you're not getting a new card, so don't be looking for it in the mail" is so much different than any other card (debit or credit) I've ever had.

Weirdly enough, replacing my Chase debit card is so much easier with an Apple Wallet because it instantly gets a new card number while I wait three or four days for a card to show up in the mail. I can tap to pay in the interim and it's so much less of a pain in the ass in the interim.

Thanks. After some additional research, I tend to agree.

One thing I learned of note is that while a _positive_ result (i.e. a probe showing a relationship) is proof that a label is encoded somehow; a _negative_ result does _not_ prove that the network under test does _not_ encode the information _somehow_. (The information could be encoded in more complex ways that the probe does not discover).
My Pixel 7 doesn't. It'll slowly charge to 100% if you plugin overnight and have an alarm set, but most of the time I don't need more than 80% as I'm usually at home.
Regarding the second, I don’t think we need every company statement to be even more littered with weasely “to the best of our knowledge” and “as far as we know” language. Anything they say should be assumed to be good faith, best of knowledge, and with the understanding that it’s always possible for new information to come to light.
I haven't touched either in more than a year, but when I did, I preferred TypeScript.

That’s a different issue than what parent is talking about: HTTP definitely needs each individual resource to be ordered, what it does not need is for different resources to be ordered relative to one another, which becomes an issue when you mux multiple requests concurrently over a single connection.

I'm sorry I don't understand. The alternative was to have a basic price for the product or service on their website that a person could look up.

Maybe if I'm some big bulk buyer and think I can get a better deal by talking to the salesguy then I'll do that. But if I'm some small fry buying like 1 or 2 of the things I know they aren't going to give me a break, but I still have to go through the "contact the sales person, they call you back, you explain what you want, they generate a quote within 5-7 business days that is good for 30 days after being generated, you end up not buying the thing for whatever reason" rigamarole.

Sidenote: I've never had a vendor balk at me using an "expired" quote to buy something. Our purchasing process never proceeds within 30 days, but turns out the prices don't change either. It is very common to be executing on a quote that's 6 months old.

Well the main issue is that no realistic attempt exists that would be able to solve the problem(s).

The reason to put encryption at the bottom of the stack is that it helps with Hyrum's Law. Part of the reason TLS is so hard to change is that everyone can see all the data and therefore anyone on the path your package takes might make decisions based on the data. This code will break if you try to update anything (even if the thing they are observing is something that they shouldn't have been observing). By encrypting everything possible, you remove the ability for everyone in the middle to see or depend on any details of the higher layers.

Hey this is pretty great, and the code is so simple. I guess it only works if you have the sources checked out somewhere, which isn't the case for all build tooling and package managers, but I could see an extended version of this that hooks into the standard package managers to fetch the required information to complete the report.

If you can also hook into an accounting system (eg plaintextaccounting.org) then you could also calculate the whole dollar amounts to donate as some percentage of income from the product.
"It just doesn't care about telling you this."

But why? Why would the LLM creators want the LLM giving out knowingly bad information? This is what I don't understand.

It makes me not want to use the product. Same as I don't like asking people things who I know like to just spew bad information when they don't know rather than simply saying they don't know.
The aggregate data is often more useful in commercial use cases, but plenty of use cases need the indivual data as well.

Private investigators, three letter agencies, and any company wanting to send mailers to my new address when I move all need the individual data to target me specifically.

I totally agree the aggregate data is given more value in a commercial market heavily focused on advertising and now training LLMs, my only point was that there are markets that highly value individual data as well.
> Religious beliefs undergo natural selection too.

All memes do - that's why their name is based on genes. What's interesting is discovering clusters of memes that are self-reinforcing and are passed down consistently, without deviating too much from the original (while still allowing changes), over a long period of time. (EDIT: it's like finding a spaceship or oscillator in Conway's Game of Life) Arguably, religions built around such clusters have an easier time getting adherents and can get resurrected tens or hundreds of years after being nominally defeated or purged. So I don't think the "actual beliefs (mostly) don't objectively matter" characterization is warranted. I think they do matter a lot from the evolutionary standpoint; not so much for any of the current adherents, but for their grandchildren and later descendants.

To what extent the memetic content carries the institution versus how much an established institution contributes to propagating the content is unclear to me. There's definitely a relationship there, a complex interplay between vested interests, provided services, and people's needs and expectations. As you said, religion is much more than just a set of "nonsense" people get talked into. This makes it hard to discern the real utility of any particular nonsense for ensuring the religion survival.
Has anyone found the source for that tablet? All I have found is this:

The linked arctile cites wikipedia and bible-history.com. This book[1] misquotes the supposed tablet as being ycb 7289, probably because these tablets are referenced next to each other on wikipedia.

64-bit is recent and 64kB granularity is ooooollllld.

With 64 bits, my real objection is that it’s unnecessarily complicated. There’s some data structure that maps addresses to whatever is mapped at those addresses, and on Windows it also needs to track reserved memory, and it needs to do so at a different granularity. (For huge pages, additional granularities are needed.)
