> NIST may or may not consort with your friendly local neighborhood NSA people

It is worth noting that while breaking codes is a big part of the NSA's job, they also have a massive organization (NSA Cybersecurity, but I prefer the old name Information Assurance) that works to protect US and allied systems and cryptographic applications.

In the balance, weakening American standards does little to help with foreign collection. Their efforts would be much better spent injecting into the GOST process (Russia and friends) or State Cryptography Administration (China and friends).
Personality defines, shapes, and limits personal choice.

Those choices are further defined, shaped, and limited by experiences.

Companies, organizations, groups and people further refine a personality.

Our choices are arrayed by self, formed by both experience and circumstance and then refined by contact with others.

We become our work because our personality led us to that original choice. Life then shaped that choice. And, finally, coworkers refine us.

We’re molded by this process, fitting ourselves into the form with extreme prejudice.
Loved the piece, but to be frank at the time when I picked software engineering as a career, most older software engineers had had extremely different life trajectories than we do nowadays.
Ideally you decide by voting. It’s either that or you decide things by who has the most money / power / guns.
Is there an actual timeline for that?
Processing [1] is a language (/ ecosystem and IDE) that serves a lot of creative use cases, particularly creative graphics projects. Arduino re-used the GUI of the Processing IDE to build the Arduino IDE, which is called out on the startup splash screen for the latter, and is probably what you're thinking of.

An aside, I don't use Processing very often but every time I've dipped into it I've found it simple and enjoyable.

That seems ripe for (more) abuse.

Not really sure who comes up with these schemes but... doesn't sound well thought out.
Sigh. Bringing up Zimbardo as being insightful about the human condition... I just... I gotta stop reading at that point.
The smallest 12th gen intel here. Yes, the fan is annoying. Reviews seem to suggest the 12th gen intel is the worst of the offerings, but overall I still like the laptop.

Switching power modes (in windows, haven't ran linux on it yet) does wonders for the fan, but can also destroy certain workloads. I often run DJ software and I can't use Rekordbox in eco modes. Have to be in ballanced or performance. Note that none of this is surprising. DJ software is not lightweight. With it running fan spin is painful in performance mode, but doesn't bother me in balanced.

I can't use some of the more power hungry features in Rekordbox without fan noise issues. Stem separation for example (newer features that separate vocals, drums, melody etc). I never expected to, those need beefy laptops, and I went for the weakest model (for unrelated reasons). It works in performance mode but the fan is really killing me.

Yes. I know most people are unfamiliar with DJ software, but it's the best example I have. And yes, since we're talking DJ software, the music obviously overpowers the fans when there are speakers and a crowd around. I notice the fans at home when practicing.

[Edit/tldr]: Battery saver / eco modes = no fan issues. Balanced mode = fan, but ok. Performance mode = fan is among the worst I've heard on a laptop. I still recommend the laptop overall.
Processing is very cool, especially if you like graphics.

https://processing.org/

Processing is a flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code. Since 2001, Processing has promoted software literacy within the visual arts and visual literacy within technology. There are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning and prototyping.

I think the main problem is they weren't really "experiments" in the sense of proving anything meaningful, and serious attempts to do so did not replicate.
I "loud quit" a job exactly once. It wasn't a coincidence that it was also my first job. I was absolutely convinced I was practically and morally right in my complaints, and therefore colleagues would agree and support my "cause". In reality, no-one cared - my peers simply avoided me, because no-one wants to be associated with a loose cannon, and you will almost never change the mind of company leadership.
Love your comment but I'm not entirely convinced that it is necessarily a phenomena unique to Japan culture.

I mean, isn't it the same as the old saying "if it ain't broke..."?

Using your example and this is just a guess, at the time Japan implemented those automated machines there was probably a big push to make the switch as manual handling of change had become a source of stress.

The rest of the world didn't make that jump until cards were a thing, product of a similar experience.

But by that time in Japan, where the problem was already "solved", switching to cards was no longer that big of a jump and so there was no incentive (or at least not enough) to worth the effort in changing technologies.
Interesting…I have had the opposite experience. Apple maps has recently been much better at providing more complete results for searches (gyms, restaurants, retail, etc.), while still lagging behind Google for driving directions and traffic. Google maps appears to be excluding relevant results from searches (which appear in Apple maps), and instead offering up promoted locations.
I don’t think this is true at all. It’s not luxuries that are getting more and more expensive, it’s the basics.
OpenCore HN discussion in 2022 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32614135
Going to hold up the mirror here… how can you interpret this and excuse the driver from their responsibility to look where they are driving, to check the road ahead of them is safe and clear of danger to their fellow citizens be they motorists or pedestrians… they should never have an expectation that the road is clear… it’s their responsibility as a driver to continually be making sure of this fact… this is why we prosecute reckless driving, dangerous driving, driving without due care and attention, and a hundred other names from jurisdictions around the entire world… because if you push the gas pedal your fucking responsible for where the damn car goes… outside of extremely specific circumstances where we allow people to potentially have good reasons for their car not going where it should, faulty breaks and this sort of thing… other than that, it’s the damn drivers fault and they are responsible for operating the vehicle.
That’s a completely different test. You’re using the vision multimodal ability to decipher Chinese script, essentially adding an OCR step to the process, and it’s not good at OCR of Chinese script.

Try feeding it actual Chinese characters. From what I understand, it’s somewhat competent.
> Modern technic has made it possible to diminish enormously the amount of labor necessary to produce the necessaries of life for every one.

...

> Suppose that at a given moment a certain number of people are engaged in the manufacture of pins. They make as many pins as the world needs, working (say) eight hours a day. Someone makes an invention by which the same number of men can make twice as many pins as before. But the world does not need twice as many pins: pins are already so cheap that hardly any more will be bought at a lower price. In a sensible world everybody concerned in the manufacture of pins would take to working four hours instead of eight, and everything else would go on as before. But in the actual world this would be thought demoralizing. The men still work eight hours, there are too many pins, some employers go bankrupt, and half the men previously concerned in making pins are thrown out of work.

...

> If the ordinary wage-earner worked four hours a day there would be enough for everybody, and no unemployment — assuming a certain very moderate amount of sensible organization. This idea shocks the well-to-do, because they are convinced that the poor would not know how to use so much leisure. In America men often work long hours even when they are already well-off; such men, naturally, are indignant at the idea of leisure for wage-earners except as the grim punishment of unemployment, in fact, they dislike leisure even for their sons.

Bertrand Russell was already talking about how the eight hours workday was a wasteful bullshit in 1932.
Based on this, the fan is rather loud. I guess that's how they're able to maintain the sustained performance numbers.
More like an infestation of "open = I must be able to exploit and abuse for profit" entitled SV VC types.
Yes, but that's partly the point I was making.

The whole thing is a vague lashing out without clear detail of what the exact criticism is or whether it is fair.
AutoHotkey. It's a fairly comprehensive yet easy to use GUI automation, hotkeys and scripting tool, and unfortunately there's no decent replacement for it in Linux - especially under Wayland, which prevents some features working in an automated way (eg screen capture, extracting the RGB values of the pixel under the mouse cursor etc).
I think the title is misleading. This is an MIT PR piece.
From a linguistic standpoint, that’s a rather large nuance. Scoping is commonly accepted to be ambiguous.

I'm not sure if I understand it. So there are a bunch of startups, looking desperately for paying customers, so this platform helps to match them to each other (except the paying customer part), saying that startupA should be the customer of startupB? Basically venture money shuffling?

What am I missing?
I highly doubt BBC's social media managers are making long term bets on smaller social media networks eventually investing in activitypub. IRL they probably got little engagement vs the time they were investing so decided to just keep at least one Twitter style feed around so they don't completely abandon the concept of "microblogging"... as the vast, vast bulk of the journalism industry continues to use Twitter and that idea isn't dying any time soon. Having a backup comms platform is deemed valuable enough even if it doesn't drive high business value.

Edit: others have pointed out they still use X so I guess the whole point is moot
I would be delighted to turn it into a business, but I may not be able to do it without securing funding.
Don't forget PTM thermal pads! They have a respectable 8 W/m•K conductivity and don't pump themselves out or dry out like thermal paste. They've become popular with gaming laptop companies and users.
In some scientific fields like human nutrition there are way more cranks than experts. Some of the cranks have even managed to earn PhDs and publish multiple papers. The fact that there is a lot of industry funding for this field doesn't help the situation.
Thank you so much! I have been wanting something like this for a long long time!

Pretty good combined life+career advice I heard a long time ago and followed: If you're going to move countries, the best time to do it is right after college.

Starting from scratch in an entirely new country, with no connections, no professional ability to speak the native language, and rapidly dwindling cash reserves, was one of the scariest and most thrilling things I've ever done in my life. I recommend it to no one, because if you're crazy or motivated enough to actually do it, no man's recommendation for or against it is going to stop you. You will become some kind of minor force of nature for a while and you will look back on that time years later and think "I had no idea I could be that hardcore."

Sadly this is necessarily the opposite of most of Moxie's sentiments. "Throw yourself into the toughest situations you can find" is shared between us, but Moxie recs doing so amidst friends and comrades, while I merely remind you can hurl yourself into the ravine to learn to fly.
Opposite anecdote, I was hired remotely at AWS during Covid and I only met anyone on my team a year and half in.

There was a well organized onboarding process which was a combination of Amazon indoctrination, AWS indoctrination, and team specific tasks including who I should schedule a 1x1 with. There were tasks specifically geared toward getting to know the internal tooling.

Admittedly when I started at my current company fully remote - a much smaller company - right when we were hiring rapidly for a new project, it was on me to get up to speed about knowing what my role involved, who to schedule 1x1s with and create my own onboarding itinerary.
I lost interest in Threads once their product guy said news is not a priority for them. One of the main reasons I use Twitter to catch up on world events from trustworthy sources.

Also earthquakes. Living in the California, I'm actually very impressed with Twitter's trending searches. I can always find few people tweeting about earthquake within 10seconds of an earthquake.
Yes, this is one of De Morgan’s laws. When I read the legislation I interpreted it to mean that the negation distributed over the conjunction, resulting in a disjunction. Insisting that the conjunction survives is faulty logic!
Does this apply to 30 year olds who've been working for a while and feel lost?
Even assuming otherwise ideal conditions, choosing between two (mostly similar) political parties doesn't contain enough expressive power. Choosing goods in markets does. It's a computation problem as much as anything else.
actually I tracked housing prices directly here in California on a large scale.. the key to resolving the two positions here is that, volatility is exactly how a one hundred percent increase in price happens.. first drop, the rise, then drop a lot, then rise alot. Meanwhile in the most desirable a.k.a. most expensive zip codes (or similar). the rise has been steady, even at 2008, and as you say, not one hundred percent. Lastly, ordinary people like you and I are not privileged to see the vast amount of cheating that goes on with residential valuation, loans and the like. Loans for more than a realistic value on a property, are as old as Sicily.
The solution is to install the latest CUDA driver (which is always 100% backward compatible) but have multiple version of the libraries in /usr/local. Granted it can get messy with various package manager doing their own things.
> Until we actually look at why crime occurs (mainly because poor people need money badly, secondly because people in sufficiently dire poverty stop caring about the social norms of the middle class) we won't be able to make a meaningful difference.

Nayib Bukele locked up all his country's criminals, and by doing so made a massive difference to the quality of life. The truth is, crime causes poverty at least as much as poverty causes crime. There is no tradeoff between "arrest criminals and get them off the streets" and "fix poverty", the latter in fact depends on the former.
If the Earth revolved at a rate of ~17 times per day, or once every 1:24:42, the centrifugal force at the equator should just match the pull of gravity.

Also via GNU Units:

You have: sqrt(1 gravity / earthradius)
You want: revolution/day
* 17.060434

You have: 1 day / 17
You want: hour; minute; second
1 hour + 24 minute + 42.352941 second

Stack Exchange confirms this: <https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/136486/how-fast-...>)

That's about once every 84 minutes.

Which, I recognise is also roughly the orbital period for low-Earth orbit, that is, an object falling around the Earth without ever striking the surface. Though I think that may be a coincidence. Compare geosyncronous orbit (~42,000 km from Earth's centre), with the radius at which there is 1g of centrifugal acceleration at 1 revolution per 24 hours, ~2 million km.

Fun to play with however.

Strong disagree. I am reminded of the quote: "If you don't have a plan of your own you'll become part of someone else's plan." Your job has as much of an influence on who you become as you let it have... the contention that you are your job really shows nothing more than a lack of ambition.
No the robot was left holding the bag after a disgusting person drove into this pedestrian and as a result of hitting the pedestrian with their car tossed the pedestrian directly in front of the driverless car. Which immediately freaked out and tried it’s best to pick a safe failure mode… in this case it picked wrong and that’s a problem… but a human is clearly the primary offender here and the driverless car was given an out of context problem because the human broke the law by doing a hit and run on this pedestrian
Right — we could decide whether each transaction should take place by voting on it. But that would be really inefficient! So instead, we generally let people trade with each other as long as it doesn't intrude on others.

Not sure whether Sweetgreen choosing to go cashless is an example of "decide things by who has the most money / power / guns."?

how would you prove intent to injure a competitor? wouldn't all attempts to outcompete a competitor be considered an attempt to injure them?

there is no way Costco isn't losing money on their $4.99 chickens or $1.50 hot dog and drink. and I assume the point is to get you in the door so you will buy other stuff from them and not Amazon or Walmart.

Did you just argue that version numbers that do not have a spec are less arbitrary than the ones that do? Surely its entire point is to (at least attempt to) solve the gripe you seem to have.

Article literally says

> Daisugi (台杉, where sugi refers to Japanese cedar), is a similar Japanese technique

in its intro
There's a huge network effect that's effectively led to a 3% tax on the economy. Since every other store accepts credit cards, you need to too. It's not a case where a credit card allows someone that was going to buy a $500 TV to now spend $1,500. It's that you won't sell anything if you're a cash only business. And with Covid fewer people want to handle cash.

Debit cards exist and partially solve the inconvenience of holding cash. But, they're really inconvenient in other ways. As a consumer I'll prefer credit cards most of the time just for the security benefits. If there's a breach at a merchant and my number is stolen I don't have to worry about my checking account being screwed up for however long it takes to sort things out.

It'd be nice if we had another option for cashless payments. Particularly, one that doesn't impose such a large financial burden on everyone. Yeah, rewards are nice but they're disproportionately allocated as well. I think it's fairly evident going forward cash will be handled less and less. Credit card companies are the incumbents and path to least resistance to accepting cashless payments, but they don't need to be the only option.

With real competition I suspect we'll see those swipe fees suddenly decrease. Unfortunately, some of the bigger attempts at non-credit card payments (e.g., PayPal) charge commensurate fees. So, maybe I'm off and 3% is the minimum needed by the middlemen to stay afloat.
Pedestrians in california have de facto right of way over cars in any scenario so this is irrelevant here.

Well, they usually ship unlocked CPUs, where other vendors often power-throttle the CPU.

I am not a "fan" of the fan noise, so I checked and the EC firmware was open source. It was possible to raise the fan tipping point to run the laptop hotter and more silent.

People have also tried to set the power clamping later. That works and is equivalent to limit it in the BIOS.

Key point is: this does not mean you have to run it that way. Add a power profile, l configure the fan curve, enjoy.
Interesting, similar in the micro podcast sense but what makes Roads unique is the commenting system.

Maybe in an ideal world, but in practically any real world scenario this isn't the case. Spend enough time somewhere and the mechanics of that place inevitably influence the way we act, in the workforce and out.
Addicts who have access to 'maintenance' doses of heroin are often able to function relatively normally.

It turns out that if you're having to find hundreds of dollars a day and you're not sure you're going to even be able to find that next hit, and you don't know the purity of what you're getting, or have access to clean needles, or ... things get rapidly worse for you over and above the effects of the drug itself.

Addicts who do have access to cheap or free doses, and who do know that they can access these reliably, and who do have access to clean equipment, known doses of known substances etc, can stabilise their lives, hold down jobs and often can slowly come off the substance, or be persuaded onto programs that can get them clean over time.

I know that western societies in general aren't ready for this, because there would be outraged howls of "OMG we can't just be giving drugs to junkies! And we're paying for their drugs! This is highly immoral!". However from what I've read in the past it's better all round for us to use this sort of compassionate approach to heroin addiction - addicts get help to get their lives together and it's cheaper for the rest of us to support them like this than it is to put up with the high levels of petty crime they otherwise commit, pay the costs to incarcerate them and fight the gangs of drug traffickers. Further, these sorts of things can cut down on new users, and I believe this was found out in Switzerland - there's very little that's alluring about a line of tired, grey, old-looking faces lining up outside the heroin clinic every morning, that's not what edgy, rock-n-roll kids want to get into ...

I'm not advocating that heroin should be sold openly in shops like alcohol, but there is a wide territory between that and where we are now, and I feel a real solution (or at least a better path) lies somewhere in that territory.
The way it is written, it suggests that they're not allowed to have all 3 simultaneously.

not (A and B and C)

But then if you think about it in context, that law would make little to no sense. So likely they intended "or".

I have no idea how this works in the US, but here judges are told to follow the intention of the law and not the precise text. You wouldn't get out because someone made a grammar error.
Having done it myself, I would recommend it!

Though I suppose it speaks to my personality type that I didn't find moving country and leaving everything that scary. I was moving to a job, so didn't have the dwindling cash reserves part.
