Idk, lightning has the opposite problem where the contacts are exposed and degrade very quickly on the cable and need to be replaced constantly. Great for apple. And lightning has the gripping pins on the phone which degrade rather quickly too over repeated use. No cable is perfect I fear
>Those which fail are likely to fail due to inadequate cooling. With good cooling even large currents cannot damage the LEDs. As long as the temperature of the LED is limited there is no need to drive it less.

This seems like a logical conclusion considering lower power extends their life and the diodes that fail are usually discolored (as if they overheated). However, I'm not entirely sure it is as simple as inadequate cooling. All my high power LED floodlights are installed outdoors. I had 3 failures in the middle of winter when outside temperatures are way below zero (I remember these especially well, because climbing a tall ladder in freezing -20C wind is not something you forget easily). My theory is that they initially fail short that's why they appear burned. Also better cooling definitely extends their life, but it is not the only factor. The LED floodlights I mentioned were all housed in flat cast aluminum casings with find. The pcb is made of aluminium (with a very thin white insulating layer and copper traces on top). There is thermal paste between the back of the pcb that is raw aluminium and the case. I can't imagine a more favourable cooling solution. And still these floodlights are amongst the worst LED experiences I had. I tried all sellers available that didetry to charge >6x the price.

>I do not doubt your experience, but it is possible to choose better LED lamps

Perhaps it is location dependent. The lights I had a good experience with were purchased in the UK, but I've since moved to Poland. I'm happy to order from other countries within the EU (I even wanted to get the same LEDs from the UK again, but they don't sell them anymore).

The brands I see around here are either noname/picked up from thin air, kobi, samsung,philips or sometimes Osram. I have to admit I haven't got much experience with Philips or Osram. All the others are the same (including Samsung Pro). I would've bought more of the Philips/Osram lights, but none of my local stores carry them in cool white, ordering one or two online seems a waste of the shipping while I'm not ordering 20 without checking them out first... (if someone says "Philips is great" I'll get a 10 pack) Also I noticed people who like warm rather than cool light seem to have a better experience overall. Two of the best LEDs I have are warm, and they look like the famous Philips Dubai bupbs(I couldn't get any cool whites with the right fitting). They have been living outside for last 7 years, hooked up to a PIR next to a cat's food&water so they are activated a lot. I've replaced the PIR sensors, but the lights are still fine. Again, these were purchased years ago.

If anyone knows any good brands available in Europe, please mention them.
Thanks, I appreciate that. You/your team were also really responsive with the first ESP replacement.

That's a good explanation.

The other to add is that someone combs a data file for "unlikely events" and finds one event they consider unlikely happened to a given person, you have to consider the probability of any event that looks unlikely occurring at all, not just the probability of that unlikely event happening.
It doesn't, at least not within currently understood physics:

I've never heard of anyone replacing their hard wired monitor cable. And in any case I certainly wouldn't have had the skills, so I think "malicious" is an uncalled-for term here. Maybe my boss (the owner) knew better and chose to charge people for new monitors, but I definitely didn't.

The idea of trying to plug a serial, parallel, or VGA cable into a computer blindly seems hilariously unlikely.

And I distinctly remember getting excited about upgrading to a motherboard that supported USB for the hot-pluggability. I was overexcited, but still.
Almost always, as I've noticed only after grabbing a friend's power bank and a C-to-lightning cable for a day trip...

I believe an USB-C device port is easier to implement than a host/power supply port, since the host is only allowed to supply Vbus after ensuring that it's connected to a device (by actively probing the resistor connected to the CC pins etc.), whereas a device port only needs to present that resistor. After all, even a passive C-to-micro-B cable can do that.
People who are having trouble getting good results from LLMs are still trying to figure them out. Most folks are using the product and not the model. Where it really shines is when you use the API and build a platform of workflows around it, starting with a real solid prompt template and working your way through various methods to achieve an outcome. There is no magic wand to get a full solution in one shot, but guiding the LLM towards that ultimate outcome is the type of thing a lot of nerds dont have the attention span for and instead move on to the next weekly JS framework to get their fix.

Which is good for us who stick with the process.
"You are receiving this message because you connected your Brother MFC-J485DW to Alexa on 5/4/21"

That's the point. From the article:

> Under the new regime, an importer of Chinese steel will have to purchase carbon credits that correspond to the same rate as steel produced in the European Union.

Europe already produces this stuff, they're just being outcompeted by China subsidizing their costs using the environment. Since China and Europe happen to be share big parts of the environment, Europe feels environmental effects no matter where the steal is produced.

Yes, I am suggesting they were already paying for this (just not with money). I think the EU is too.

It actually doesn't stop mattering. I'm not unsympathetic to your point, but in a democratic form of government you do in fact need to get over the barrier of "other people like this and don't want to stop".

We are also developing an open-source solution for those who would like to test it out and/or contribute, it can be consumed as a web service, or embedded into .NET apps. The project is codenamed "Semantic Memory" (available in GitHub) and offers customizable external dependencies, such as using Azure Queues, RabbitMQ, or other alternatives, and options for Azure Cognitive Search, Qdrant (with plans to include Weaviate and more). The architecture is similar, with queues and pipelines.

We believe that enabling custom dependencies and logic, as well as the ability to add/remove pipeline steps, is crucial. As of now, there is no definitive answer to the best chunk size or embedding model, so our project aims to provide the flexibility to inject and replace components and pipeline behavior.

Regarding Scalability, LLM text generators and GPUs remain a limiting factor also in this area, LLMs hold great potential for analyzing input data, and I believe the focus should be less on the speed of queues and storage and more on finding the optimal way to integrate LLMs into these pipelines.

I'm not quite sure about that.

A lot of groups who defaulted to Reddit actually got off their ass and set up a Discourse or Discord. I consider Discord a huge step backward, but those who set up Discourse groups are now in a much better place.

So, a lot of the technical people who made Reddit the "go to" place for searching are now gone. As that half-life of the knowledge of those groups kicks in, the usefulness of Reddit is going to slide down.
I do work there and it's total BS, certainly as far as engineering goes. Maybe in marketing / sales / HR the story is different, but the overwhelming majority of engineering, support and QE (including the management chain) use Thinkpads with Fedora or RHEL.
> If a 1mb text document takes up 5mb of ram

Text files are sometimes not that small. It's not that unusual to have a multigigabyte text log, sometimes larger than system RAM on the machine.
The non-JVM code used in mentioned context will run in environments where yet another GC fighting the JVM GC isn't desired or have to be a shared library talking to existing JVM code. While you can use Go to build libraries with C calling convention, it's not the most supported use case and it shows in ergonomics. This also includes standard Go types and standard library which don't fit nicely into a model where code needs to talk a lot with JVM world.

It's possible... But it feels like screwing screws with a knife. It's doable, but noone from the language designers, stl designers and library developers are really thinking about that use case.

Rust on the other hand fits very well into the model where it needs to be just a piece of a bigger whole - it's been built that way ("system" programming language) and it doesn't come with GC that will fight with JVM or Binder lifetimes, compatible type system and plenty of libraries that help develop libraries on an embedded platform. When building the language, Rust designers consider this as one of the main use cases of the language and it shows with how much less hassle it is to work with.

The fact that it easily fits into existing C/C++ codebases helps too.

I took a sabbatical April of 22, thinking I would take 3 months off, it took a full year before I felt like I was ready to go back to work. Taking off was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

In short, do it. You won’t regret it.
No. Anything that blocks adblockers does not get my support. The adblocker is there for my own comfort, safety and security. Anyone who asks me to disable it is not my friend.

Virus scanners and adblockers serve a similar purpose these days, they prevent access by malicious actors. If a service asks you to disable the virus scanner, would you do that too?

If they want me to pay for content produced by 3rd parties... sure, if they're distributing that money fairly to those parties why not? But I'd still run an adblocker.

The argument "If you don’t like ads and desire to continue using the service, it’s time to consider paying for it." doesn't make sense to me. Anytime any service has asked to be paid to avoid ads? Ads got added on later on anyway.

The value is in getting them to write down what happens step by step as their program executes.

Writing things by hand can just help facilitate that because it removes the ability to run the program and get the final result.

People can lean on their tools to 'guess and check' their work. Write a loop, run the program, and get an out of bounds error. They'll have learned oh this error means I need to subtract one from my loop bounds. And sometimes that works, though many times, it means there's an edge case they didn't properly handle.

When you only have pencil and paper and you need to explain to me what your code does you have to write down a representation of what's in memory and then how it changes step by step as the code runs.
It's "only" colors ? So far from 100% of your css (especially if you use something like tailwind where css class for shape and color are clearly separated)

Also I m not a css expert but can't you also simplify it by using css variables so that you can further reduce the scope of change by having only the css variables that change value ? Your --primary-color-500 etc.

There is none. No one understands what intelligence really means or self-awareness. Which is why they feel threatened by anything that challenges their self proclaimed uniquely human trait. The goal posts WILL move a lot more before this debate is settled. Inevitably the success rate and accuracy of LLM responses is going to get better and better, quite possibly to the point where it is indistinguishable from a human. But it wont matter, because some humans will redefine intelligence to be something else so their place at the top of the intelligence pyramid remains in place.

In my spheres (full-time game dev), I've already seen ripples down to teachers/professors switching from Unity to Unreal in their courses. Many of the content creators I've enjoyed in Unity are also either switching or considering switching to another engine for their videos. Brackeys allegedly even said he might come back and start a Godot series. It's a long tail of ripples that reduces the number of "Unity devs" at every stage of their lifecycle (learning, starting out, graduating to small studios, etc) which doesn't bode well for Unity long-term.

Most A/AA devs I follow are planning to switch to another engine when they can (e.g. not mid-project), but I know a few who immediately started porting to Unreal/Godot. Most AAA devs I know already don't use Unity.
