You can also tune the secondary a bit through the design of the feed horn. Even better with a phased-array and some electronics!
Yeah, it's basically the Republican party.
That's a lot more involved. We're a quant firm that have servers colocated globally at various exchanges, so our data is distributed across a lot of systems. The main and original purpose of this storage system is to provide one centralized repository of all of this global data so that we can run backtests and perform analytics locally as opposed to having to hit our Australian system when we need ASX data, and then hit our German system when we need Xetra data, etc etc...

So different backups happen in varying directions, with the colocated servers using the main storage system to back themselves up, and the main storage system in turn backing portions of itself onto the colocated servers.

Not everything gets backed up, however, and most of what does get backed up can be compressed quite significantly. We mostly just back things up that can't be recovered from third parties or that are proprietary to our organization.
ARM just makes the most sense right now, whether running macOS or BSD.

And not just those two OSs. I current run two virtual-host websites using a Raspberry Pi (ARM-based) which is running one of the Linux distros. And the MSFT Windows 'Surface' machines run on ARM too.

Intel completely lost the 8-bit market through complacence when Zilog introduced the Z80. They could very easily lose the 'PC-hardware-based' platform through complacence again too.
I was one of those who queued up to buy the original Android phone (HTC Dream), and was happy to support an open source and open phone OS

I switched from Pixel/Android to Apple last year

The fonts look terrible in LibreWolf and the FPS is only ~60. LibreWolf is also extension heavy. My default zoom on a page is 120% on a 1080 screen.

It doesn't load in (updated) Firefox, which is interesting. It only shows that the FPS is around 60. Not as many extension (vs LibreWolf). I rarely use FF (opting for LibreWolf).

On Brave (no extensions at all, except built in protections), the site runs at ~121FPS and the fonts look normal enough (no zoom, page at 100%). Fonts continue to look fine even when I zoom to 150% or higher.

I expected that my CPU temp would increase, maybe the fans might kick in... nothing. Cool as a cucumber. I have 4 browsers all opened on this page.

Interesting project. I read what @EvanAnderson wrote (evil software). I tend to agree. Respectfully, I don't see how this would be used. Browsers that already run JS don't need this. Browser that need this usually don't run JS (fails on Dillo, NetSurf, Lynx for example).

>It shouldn't need more than 3 variables
But you do. Think about what it means to describe orientation. You need enough degrees of freedom.

When describing rotation of of a sphere projected onto a 2d plane, having two variables (X,Y) isn't enough. Because the sphere could rotate about the axis between the origin and that point. There's an an entire degree of freedom you could describe for a complete rotation about that axis.

In the same way, having 3 variables to describe a quaternion rotation is not enough. You again, have an entire degree of freedom you could rotate the quaternion about.

I'll always support user choice and that is the only thing Apple will be forced to allow. It's extremely bizarre to justify vendor lock-in on the basis of popularity.

Imagine if Microsoft would prohibit you from using Google search on Microsoft devices and force you to use Bing and anyone would justify this on the basis that Bing is unpopular.

"This is what life looks like under a duopsony -- where there are essentially only two buyers for pharmacy labor."

In my area the number of grocery store locations with a pharmacy greatly out numbers the CVS and Walgreens locations. Walmart, Costco and hospitals also employ pharmacists. Walgreens and CVS employ a significant number of pharmacists but I would have to see some proof that they are a duopsony. It doesn't pass my initial sniff test.

The title should probably be changed to “UK enacts Online Safety Act…” or something for the benefit of those who don't know that this is exactly what's expected of the monarch.

“King Charles III signs off” is a perfectly ordinary part of the legislative process. Royal Assent has been granted 100% of the time in probably the last 1000 years. I’m not going to search when was the last time royal assent was not granted, but I’m somewhat certain it was before 1600s.

Edit: looked it up after all. Royal Assent was last withheld in 1708.
Well, someone else in this thread claimed that the root of the problem was CVS and Walgreens operating in an "unregulated free market".

Sounds like maybe the market has regulation, but it's shaped to benefit incumbents. I would guess that regulation is the main cause of the duopoly. I don't see anything obvious about the structure of the industry that should push it towards just a few major players, except the presence of regulation.
The Tories engaged in similar practices, before and after that scandal. Literally every Tory treasurer ascends to the Lords, together with lots of party donors, and Boris Johnson even got in his chum Lebedev despite opposition from the security apparatus.

That's why that scandal is never mentioned nowadays: because things got even worse after 2010.
They are doing a great job of proving what we already knew: Stanford as an institution is corrupt to its core, from the leadership to the professors, to the alumni. How they continue to have any semblance of a positive reputation is beyond me.
Wow, that's a great overview. While most of it goes over my head, it is interesting that quite a lot of research has been done in this direction.

The system I outlined above was inspired by this intriguing paper:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.14502

It is superficially about a different topic, namely generating and solving "programming puzzles", basically a type of unit test, that are then verified by the python interpreter. This system seems quite analogous to one where the programming puzzles are replaced by conjectures in a language like Lean, the proposed puzzle solutions are instead proposed proofs, and the python interpreter is replaced by the proof assistant.

I just discovered that there seems to be at least one guy working on applying a similar system to formal mathematics: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~jlaurent/pdf/reports/thesis-proposal... He actually cites the paper above.

Awesome - love the te reo name!
I don't understand why so many of the comments seem inclined to assume this is unintentional. Given the extreme sensitivity of the issue and the extreme amounts of money/power at risk / in play on all sides, it seems highly likely that this is intentional (although not necessarily official MS policy - it could of course also be internal bribery-fueled sabotage and/or a hack).
The stated purpose within the block of isolation cells I was held in was protective custody—as in someone upstairs decided that you might cause harm to yourself or others if placed with the general population. This might include things like a mental health condition or crisis, an altercation with other inmates, the specific nature of your legal situation[1], and/or if you tell them during intake that you’re transsexual (this may have changed in the ~15-years since my experience). Of course, they were not under any obligation to explain their rationale for placement decisions, so these are just some of the examples I heard from guards when asked, not an official position or statement on their part.

For a few of those categories, and for anyone who’s never experienced it, this may sound like a benefit—or at least somewhat preferable to the risks one might otherwise face in the general population. But for anyone struggling with a mental health condition, or who might not be aware of what category they’re in or how long they might be there, the conditions can frequently be an unbearable psychological burden on top of what is almost certainly an already frightening and traumatic situation.

I had a cell that measured roughly 9’x4’, but because of the service column and toilet, there was not a single place where I could stand or lie down and stretch my arms out fully without encountering an obstacle. This was where I spent 23-hours of every single day I was there. The other hour was spent in a larger cell at the end of the hall with a shower and a payphone that cost my family $20 for every 15-minutes to speak with me. No windows, no daylight, no respite. The Chaplin brought a book cart around every few weeks from which you would be given something at random. Anything worth reading you could easily finish in a few days, even if pacing yourself. If you’re unlucky, you just get some Scientology bullshit. Until the very last day I was there, I had no way of knowing when I would get out. My attorney told me it could take more than a year to get to a trial. My family could not afford my bond. It wasn’t until a second surprise bond hearing 3-weeks later that I would be given an opportunity for relief that was within reach. The not knowing, the endless hours to spend with spiraling thoughts and no distractions, it’s the purest despair imaginable.

It’s one of many indefensible features of our justice system that needs to be consigned to the dark details of America’s ongoing history of atrocities.

[1] Whether you’re charged with a crime while also providing witness testimony against another inmate or that is deemed particularly vital, or the crime you’re accused of is particularly noteworthy or likely to motivate violence against you (inmates read newspapers, and word will generally spread of anyone who’s in for anything newsworthy), etc..
Took the words out of my mouth. One of the most famous quotes:

“We've learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone,” [Palm CEO Ed] Colligan said. “PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in.”
Wrong assumptions programmers make about fraud prevention:

-- A mobile phone number uniquely identifies a single person.

-- Every person has a mobile phone number and they only have one mobile phone number.

-- If a person's mobile phone number is associated with VoIP or Google Voice, that indicates fraud.

-- Every person always has their mobile phone handy and it is always able to receive calls and SMS messages under all circumstances.

-- Mobile phones are never lost or stolen and their batteries never run down.

-- Mobile phone numbers last forever.

-- An email address uniquely identifies a person.

-- Every person has an email address and they only have one email address.

-- Every person is always able to receive email under all circumstances.

-- Email addresses last forever.

-- People never travel to foreign countries.

-- A person's IP address always determines where they are located.

-- Geolocated IP addresses are always accurate.

-- Geolocated IP addresses always indicate the preferred and correct human language of the person on the other end.

-- The IP address for a customer will never change during a given session (i.e. LEO satellite internet does not exist).

-- If the IP address for a customer changes "too quickly", that indicates fraud (i.e. LEO satellite internet does not exist).

-- Your customer will never connect to you through a VPN.

-- If your customer connects to you through a VPN, they are doing something fraudulent, rather than trying to get around your geolocation brain damage.
> Their per-capita emissions are far below that of other industrialized countries

Per-capita emissions don't matter. Every ton of CO2 contributes the same to global warming regardless of the population of the country that emitted it.
You can draw any object with fragment (aka pixel) shaders. Because some specific math techniques can be used to draw shapes, regardless of the technology (SDF, trigonometry, ect).

So some talented artists are pushing the bounds and wrestling with performance trade-offs in the fragment shader.

Fragment shaders are more commonly used for making full screen filter effects (color correction, ect).

Shaders are also used to make textures and materials on basic objects. Material artists often generate textures with shader math.

Many visual effects are made by using shaders in creative ways.

Shaders are run on the GPU in a parallel, wave-like fashion. Many, many, many threads run across the same data in one wave.

In some cases shaders are much faster than CPU branching code. Shaders also have easier access to some rendering data.

So they are a good space for creative special effects.

Any object in a game with a high level of surface detail is a common target, to shift that detail onto a shader.

Ocean surfaces, tesselating meshes, ect.

There's many other uses, because GPUs are powerful and flexible.

The requirements of the UK Act and EU Chat Control draft legislation would be enforceable with client-side scanning on devices which have silicon support for AI inference.

At present, this includes Apple iPhones and Apple Silicon Macs that have an underutilized Bionic Engine. Starting in 2023, AMD 7000-series Ryzen laptop CPUs have silicon for AI inference. Starting in 2024, Intel Meteor Lake laptop CPUs will have silicon for AI inference. Starting in 2024, Qualcomm Oryon Arm Windows laptops will compete with Apple Silicon M3 laptops for price/performance, likely including silicon for AI inference.

If the requirements of the act become technically enforceable on most new laptops and flagship phones sold in 2024, then enforcement policy will depend on non-technical considerations, including industry and market response to new vs. old hardware.

EU has draft legislation to stop the sale of all operating system and hypervisor binaries which are not officially accredited. If there are only a limited number of operating systems available in the market, then client-side scanning can be made a legal requirement for accredited distribution of commercial binaries.

Client silicon for AI inference can use WiFi 7 Sensing radar to measure a biometric signature for humans, e.g. breathing rate, typing motion. Will every country allow tech companies to sample human biometric data via RF? Can human identity be cross-referenced with client-side scanning?
Reminds me of that time they thought Arm CPUs wouldn't make a dent in the server market. Cute.
Taking power away from the user seems to be a large part of the appeal of WASM. Wasn't it just a year or two ago that it was being reported that 75% of WASM modules are malicious? A study from a previous year had said 50% of all websites using it were malicious so the trend line isn't looking great.

I don't know how we got from "don't download and install random software from untrusted sources on your devices" to "let anyone with a website run code directly on your hardware. Sandboxes are impossible to breach!"

I get that it's cool tech and the promise of writing software to run on many different platforms is exciting, but from a real world/user perspective it's insane.

They’ve also been known as a class as a problem (along with catalytic converter particles) for well over 30 years.

There have been multiple studies linking proximity to freeways with asthma and decreased life span, serious health issues like COPD, and even significant increases in sudden unexplained deaths.

45 million Americans live within the high risk zones (300 feet or meters, I forget), countless new daycares, old folks homes, and residential high rises get built there every day, and almost every American is exposed significantly due to being in vehicles on average of an hour a day with insufficient filtering.

The issue here isn’t that aircraft engines last ‘decades’.

It’s that aircraft owners are only legally allowed to use fuels approved by the FAA for their aircraft, and per the various authorizations for their aircraft. Which vary. The engines may get rebuilt, but without a very expensive type change and approval (often from the manufacturer) they’re the same design as the original. Which has the same limitations.

So until there is a viable authorized replacement (per the FAA), literally they can’t use it except in emergencies. Which only just became available. And they can’t change engines either. And they can’t just YOLO it legally.

Because fuel is a major cause of crashes that kill people already (usually contamination, or wrong fuel causing engine failures/flameouts).

And despite the FAA knowing of the risks of lead (or more precisely, knowing the various factors), they only recently did authorize a replacement.

So it’s as if that study on those plastics happened 30 years ago, and we’re just now getting around to it. Which essentially is what has happened with cars and the various pollution.

So raking anyone over the coals when a far larger, more damaging, and widespread crisis has always been going on for even longer and gets ignored? Yeah I’m pointing out the hypocrisy.

It’s always about resources in proportion to risk, and arguably the FAA has dumped far more resources and mitigated a far less damaging risk (in many concrete ways) far faster with this leaded fuel issue than one near and dear all of us.
It's probably not as simple as striking a match.

Note that the list of techniques used for the matchstick includes "image stacking", which I thought involves multiple exposures, but a burning match is not quite a static subject that would remain constant across multiple shots. I am curious what setup they have done to pull it off.

Related, this photographer has videos of macro shots of burning match elsewhere:

If I ever build my own house, the plan (if code allows) is to not have a bathroom fan, and instead run the intake for an air exchanger into the bathroom. If I remodel this one I may well try to do the same. I think there's a reasonably good spot for it.

Bathrooms, particularly public ones, are wet, mouldering places with insufficient ventilation. And we go into them every day to get ourselves clean. Taking air out of the bathroom and injecting it somewhere else is about the best way I can think of to fix that, and we only run them intermittently.
