It's currently the election year in my country, so I now have access to a huge amount of open data: voters, politicians, etc.

I'm still wondering if I can process this data into something useful.
It's not just "unable to spend"; public anxiety tends to cause people to put off spending.
FYI you can make your own pouches at home! Buy reusable squeeze pouches online (fun styles and colors to entice the kid) and fill with whatever ingredients you'd like. My kid ate a mixture of store-bought and homemade throughout the pouch years.

Everyone who's saying "just don't introduce pouches..." either has the luxury of always being the child's caregiver or just hasn't gotten that far down the road. It's like frozen or fast food. At some point your kid will find out about it. Don't act like it doesn't exist, just offer a better alternative.

How do we balance safety regulations with these emergency situations?

We're experiencing some of the highest traffic fatality rates in decades and I think the liberty of those dying and being injured on our streets need to be taken into account as well.

I prefer the technological solution of a speed governor to automated traffic cameras because I think automated traffic cameras can easily become surveilance devices while speed governors tend to be implemented locally (i.e. within the car).

Are there other solutions that you prefer that can protect liberty law abiding drivers and pedestrians from the recklessness of speeding and dangerous driving?

There's not one single way to end a war, and not all treaties are the result of war. Regardless, the US, and the colonies before the US existed, fought wars with many Indian tribes. But in most cases, either to end wars or to avoid them, treaties were made between the United States government and the various Indian tribes to define how the entities would deal with each other. Those treaties, like any international treaty, give obligations and responsibilities to both parties. If the tribe still exists, then the obligations still exist.
I do agree, the bickering about politics is a little silly when you consider just how terrible the actual "journalism" part is. I think there's a general feeling that all journalism has faltered a little bit in the face of the Internet and a 24 hour news cycle, but I'm not even sure video game journalism was ever good. I'm not sure it was ever really 'journalism'.

I'll admit I do miss the older generation of video game 'journalism' nonetheless. Had its problems, but the thing is, it did feel like people were sharing their genuine and honest opinions as a capital-G "Gamer" more often. It became mostly known for the stereotypical attitudes that people have since come to dislike, which you can see manifested sometimes e.g. in old Penny Arcade comics. The only irony is that it feels like somehow, people's more progressive attitudes manage to have even less nuance than the older "unrefined" opinions that have since been walked back on by many. You can see this especially in the bizarro way that people have become regressive about sexuality in video games-I'm not really sure how a bunch of people were convinced to go all the way from 90's style "toxic masculinity" to a totally puritanical anti-sexuality stance in such a short period, but I'll be damned, they really managed to do it.

What happened in this time period, though, is interesting. There's really no such concept as a "capital-G Gamer" in a society where pretty much any kind of person plays video games to at least some degree. There's still a spectrum of different kinds and different levels of dedication, but the lines are firmly blurred. Gaming is just another thing that people do, on computers, phones, whatever, wherever.

To me, the modern era though, won't actually be colored by how gaming went mainstream, or by any event involving gaming at all. It'll be about how everyone became phony and full of shit with pandering to trends and moral grandstanding. I'd be willing to place a wager on that one. Unfortunately, that isn't specific to gaming, gaming journalism, or any kind of journalism.

It's wild to see the sheer impact of Gamergate on online culture. The fact that this thread is filled with GG talking points baffles me. The level of vitriol for Kotaku specifically made no damn sense, given how diverse the writing staff was.

I always interacted with Kotaku the way everybody should interact with a publication: there were some writers I liked, some I didn't, and some clickbait. It declined in quality over time until I stopped reading. That's all there is.

And if you really want to blame somebody, blame Kieron Gillen. Kotaku just merged New Games Journalism with the gossipy Gawker model to create a weird hybrid. Weirdly, a lot of what people complained about wasn't the Gawker stuff but the deep games criticism. The "hipsterdom" of it all. That was the best part! It was the clickbait that was annoying.

> so long as it is not [...] too similar to the thing it's trained from

Aye, there's the rub ;) How do you define "too similar"? If I invert the colors of Munch's The Scream, is that an original work? What if I pass it through a computer program I wrote to swirl it around in a spiral? I think those are clearly derivative works--you put the image in as input, put it through a mechanical transformation process, and get the same output for the given input. That description also applies to AI.

> these algorithms generate some general idea of the things it's trained on

Well, be careful here. AIs don't generate ideas. They take inputs, do some mechanical work on them, and output something derived from the inputs. There are no "ideas" involved here, it's a(n extremely complicated) mechanical transformation.

(To repeat myself, I don't know where I stand on the issue. I think there's good arguments on both sides.)

If we were in an environment where the bank failure rate exceeded 1%, then I would say, sure, thats an OK investment, but that high of a BFR has not been seen. If we were then the investment landscape is much worse than FDIC could insure, rendering itself useless and in all likelihood would deplete itself within a few years (depending on which banks and how much capital gets hit of course).

Then again, Americans have other options to park their assets that are far better places of retaining capital AND growth at the same time, housing being one, stocks being another, bonds being the third worst. So FDIC is about as good as BFR will ever lend you, and currently that means what I noted above - a dumb fucking decision.

The difference between the M2 Pro and M2 Max was quite subtle, especially on the CPU department. Same exact CPU cores except the Pro had a binned variant with two P cores disabled. The biggest difference between the two was on the GPU front. If they're testing the CPU, then the M2 Pro and M2 Max should have similar performance (assuming non-binned M2 Pro).
Uhh okay?
I find their body language pretty hard to read and their interaction to be much closer to prey (a rabbit) than predator (a dog or cat), but perhaps that is a lack of experience on my part.

Yeah, in the U.S. the people retain sovereignty instead, and our Constitution, the first codified constitution in history, provides a narrow set of powers for the federal government that serves us, written after we defeated the most powerful empire up to that point near the peak of their power in the first successful war of independence.

> Pretty much all they do is harass and commit violence towards minorities.

The hyperbole around police is getting a bit ridiculous. We need way, way more accountability for police, but being so absurdly extremist, particularly with rhetoric like that which is so easily disprovable, is not going to move us in that direction. It's just going to make proponents of police reform (like both of us and many others here) be dismissed as ridiculous crazy people.

I only say that to caution advocating for other countries to adopt the approach Canada has taken. I am of the view there were a lot of classic examples of well intentioned policies with disastrous results.

At the same time, I don’t know enough about the issue to offer alternative policy without worrying about the sensitivity of the issue.

A lot of this is related to differences in (a) rate of home ownership, and general structure of the housing market, and (b) how pensions work. There's some messiness, but in general these measures of wealth don't account for defined benefit pensions (ie a pension where you get X$, inflation adjusted, per month until you die) very well.
> This is not a C compiler.

This is technically true! What is posted here is not a C compiler. It is an implementation of a subset of C.

I'd prefer that the title honestly mentions that like: A compiler for a subset of C that fits in the 512 byte boot sector.

It is still a remarkable feat. But honestly, when I read the original title I was in complete disbelief that someone could implement a whole C compiler in 512 bytes.

But with the new context that it is a subset of C (not the whole C), the initial great surprise is gone. It is still very impressive though.

One of the interesting things I've noticed is that the transistor count for the M3 Pro hasn't gone up much.

For example, the regular went from M1 16B, M2 20B, M3 25B; The Max went from M1 57B, M2 67B, M3 92B. On the other hand, the Pro went from M1 33.7B, M2 40B, M3 37B. For the regular, transistor count is up 56% over the M1 and for the Max it's up 61%. However, for the Pro it's only up 10% over the M1 (and slightly down from the M2).

In terms of the cores, the M1 Pro was either 6+2 or 8+2 Performance+Efficiency cores. The M2 Pro became 6+4 or 8+4 so you still had 6 or 8 performance cores. The M3 Pro is either 5+6 or 6+6 so fewer performance cores.

It just seems like the regular has kept the same 4+4 and gone up a bunch in transistors and the Max has gone from 8+2 to 8+4 to 10+4 or 12+4 (a decent step up in cores and transistors). The Pro, on the other hand, hasn't been given the same treatment. It's still a great processor, but it feels like it isn't quite the value that it was. The M1 Pro offered such huge performance with up to 8 performance cores. The M3 Pro feels like a bit of a weak spot in Apple's lineup where it'd be worth deciding between the M3 Max or the regular M3 depending on your needs.

Still, I love Apple Silicon. It's amazing having a laptop that just feels so good to use that I don't think about raw performance numbers. Things just work without pain or heat/fans. I know that's hard to quantify, but my M1 MacBook Pro has felt so different from all the computers I've used before. I was using a 28W Intel 2020 MacBook Pro and my M1 MacBook Pro just felt completely different in terms of performance. I guess part of that is the raw performance with an M1 getting single-core performance that is 85% faster and multi-core performance that's 2.8x faster, but it's also that Apple did it at power/thermal level that means I never hear a fan and my laptop never feels warm. Maybe a big part of it is just that Apple Silicon was such a huge improvement that I'm still in awe of it. Maybe part of it is that I haven't seen what Intel has done since 2020 (and they've been catching up after years of mediocrity). Still, for the first time I feel like I'm waiting on non-CPU stuff for a reason to upgrade (like an OLED or microLED display or something).
Buddhism in Bhutan is different. I think it's the state religion, has monarchy support, it's Vajrayana (very few countries have Vajrayana as their major Buddhism), and religion is less "background noise" in Bhutan than somewhere like Japan, a kind of Buddhist-Shinto mash-up dissolving into atheism.

I think Buddhism in Bhutan likely did influence this course of action.

I'm not sure if bodycam footage is always conclusive.

I remember seeing one bit of bodycam footage on the nightly news that made it look like the cop just executed a black male driver like the scene at the beginning of the Dirty Harry movie Magnum Force.

What the cop saw, and the bodycam didn't, is that the driver had a gun within reach. You might still make the case that the cop was in the wrong, but it wasn't like the cop didn't perceive a threat. In that case, the bodycam is making the cop look worse, but it could just easily be the other way around.

Yet another way of phrasing:

The six performance cores in the M3 Pro are on par with the eight performance cores in the M2 Max.

That’s a per-core performance increase of 1/(6/8)=+33% (ignoring the efficiency cores because I have no idea how they contribute to performance).

> It just seems obvious to me...

> The line is pretty simple for me...

When things seem so obvious and simple, it can be a good mental exercise to try to put yourself in the shoes of the "other side" for whom it also seems obvious and simple.

While never my main thing, I've worked as a professional artist and know people for whom art is their livelihood. The holy grail in that world is to create a unique style that will command a premium: an art director decides your style is perfect for their new campaign, a building designer decides your style fits the lobby of the new building, etc. This style is the result of years and years of refinement, false starts, watching trends, etc. And this style is why they get paid, and how they feed their family.

When you tell such an artist that now any schmuck can create art in their style just by writing "In the style of..." you should understand that —especially to a non-technical person—the end result is just a slight deviation of from a copy machine. To them it seems "pretty simple" and "obvious" that this is just a fancy way of stealing.

(And I'm not taking sides here, just saying that step one is to realize that the issue is not simple, and is thus super interesting.)
Where did you get any evidence, or anything to go on at all really, that lead you to assume "accident" instead of "American cost-cutting"?

For a while there were some really nice drives that had built-in wifi to share their contents over, but alas that market is mostly gone. Mostly sd-card, but in a pinch one can use a usb<->sd-card adapter with those.

I love the idea that the peripheral might itself have connectivity to a wider system. Kind of scary, but here for example it's such a useful handy feature. Keep shooting photos on your camera while also being able to have your phone or laptop reading photos off live: neat. Would be great here too.

This could be a neat usb-gadget project. Take an rpi and make it look like a usb-mass storage device. There's a neat subproject there, of reading files off the file with the fat32 partition on it that backs that drive, while the ps5 is still using it.
I just checked the app, and now I see I can enable that, I don't think I saw it before, but probably didn't check for years. I'll have to check when I get home to see if it works, it doesn't look like it sees my existing ones
UK NHS to offer 150k people with type 1 diabetes an artificial pancreas
Competent authorities don't ask for technology to be added to the car to deal with very dangerous spots: They redesign them. The dangerous spot was designed by an engineer, and approved by an official or eight. If it's that dangerous, it was designed putting safety too far down the priority list: It happens. So why add a speed governor, with its bonus risks, instead of just redesign that section of road correctly?

It's the same as with the pedestrian deaths: It's dangerous vehicles that hit in the chest, and roads that make pedestrians cross a surface of cars going way too fast to react. We can avoid the situation altogether by fixing the road.
