At this point even "bigger" speakers make heavy use of DSP, too - from household commodities like Sonos to higher end hi-fi powered speakers like the KEF LSX series, almost everyone in the industry making an active-amplified product has wised up to the idea that some processing can make use of clever acoustic tricks or compensations to make their products sound better (by whatever definition of better their brand sells) than they would being drive flat from the source. When you provide the whole integrated package its a no brainer.
Global corporations aren't generally looking for the lowest tax rates to house their companies, they are looking for the ways to avoid paying taxes in a higher tax country by offsetting them in tax havens. They do this by splitting themselves into multiple shell companies, then play dodgy games of selling things to themselves at stupid prices: charge one subsidiary a few dollars for a missile and another $50k for a roll of toilet paper. This practice should be illegal as it's basically tax evasion and fraud. But, our politicians are corrupt cowards, so we all have to pretend it's just good housekeeping and lump it.

All the megacorps would be fantastically successful without playing these stupid games (most of them did their greatest growth spurts before they started doing it), and our countries would be so much nicer places to live if we only agreed that paying back to the society that nurtured you was an important part of the social contract.

Tax is civilisation. By pushing back against it like this you are essentially pushing back against civilisation, and the effects of this are all around us in our crumbling infrastructure, failing health, and desperate tent cities.
This is a blog spam post written by an author that has no credibility in the space rather than creating an agency that touts itself as "A software agency that doesn't suck.". How bizarre.

Even more, the author uses every possible library under the sun, from Tailwind to Framer, only to evangelise about raw HTML and topics he provides no credibility on.

To add to that, even the links to learn more about their agency all lead to Twitter, rather than LinkedIn, Clutch and Sortlist.

If you're able to solder on and the signal can stand the stub, a little dot of copper tape on top of the IC and a tiny wire down to the lead in question and soldered on can help give an easier "hitbox". You can add the ground pad as well next to it and use the spring for the probe.

> Many companies enter new segments by loss leading taking profits from their established non-monopoly business to subsidize their growth in another segment. That’s not illegal in the least and is extremely wide spread

Again, you’re arguing that something is legal when I’m saying the law should be changed. There’s no economically beneficial reason to allow anyone to loss lead by taking profits from one space and using it to capture market share in another, regardless whether you’re a monopoly to start with or not. That’s literally one of the well established mechanisms for a monopoly to start with. And once they get entrenched, they repeat that pattern to protect themselves from competitors, lowering the price until new entrants leave.

There’s cases where loss leaders I’m more OK with, but that’s usually around when you’re selling multiple “fungible” items and you have a loss leader on one to drive traffic & it’s not the manufacturer of the item giving you a deal to make it a loss leader. Think grocery chains, outlets, etc.

> you can’t proactively take someone for violating a law in the future to court

No where did I propose this. All I suggested is that there’s enforced regulations to make sure that Tesla is behaving here in a way that won’t result in needing an anti trust case in the future. Microsoft’s anti trust lawsuit went nowhere. Sure it’s not as entrentched, but if they hadn’t built their monopoly position in the first place & stuffed their coffers, they wouldn’t have been able to survive the massively bad decisions they kept making for a decade or more.

You seem to be taking on faith here that this is purely because Tesla has leveraged vertical integration to get a 5x savings cost. I’m skeptical though - if that were the case they wouldn’t need to be going after government bids for charger networks in the first place & could undercut on price. There’s just no way vertical integration in the car manufacturing space is yielding such impressive dividends in the charge manufacturing / operating space.
No, it was designed to address problems that were not solvable by the then-current state of simple technologies.
I don’t know if you intended this as a joke, but this is true and a good UX insight.

For day to day activities, the US customary units are more humane. Foot, pound, cup, are simply common sizes that one encounters. Foot and cup break into convenient units (powers of two in small scale volume, convenient rationals like a half, two thirds, etc for both). A standard stair riser is 2/3 of a foot — 8 inches — for example. The US system is better in this way than the imperial system as the former’s pint, quart etc are more conveniently sized with better fractions.

And, to your point: all this breaks down when the sizes get bigger (or tinier!) than you can physically “handle”. A yard/meter is pretty big (people don’t usually measure areas for rooms etc in yards) and beyond that metric becomes as good and most of the time easier. If only it hadn’t been designed around powers of 10!

But this principle extends to other special case units. For example while I prefer to use metric screws technical reasons, the fractions of 2 in drill threads are much more intuitive.

And you can see this principle breaks down for non-“intuitive” units: temperature is abstract, foot-pounds are not better than newton-meters etc.

But use the right tool for the job. I mostly write Lisp and C++ code but it doesn’t mean I won’t sometimes reach for Python.

Note: I was born in a (then) non-metric country and currently live in the remaining one, but have lived in metric land for a lot of my life and use them both all day long. So no bias.
Ask HN: Handing reviewee yearly reward discussions
Getting to the end of the year when me and my senior team are rationalizing performance reviews for next January.

Last year with inflation peaking at 11.1% - we normalise to a standard distribution of wage increases, with last year's mean reward being 6% - we had the position with our reviewees that it wasn't a great year for the company either - but still doesn't remove the fact that we were giving a 5% real terms pay cut for having our concrete performance objectives met.

This year we've raised our prices to be just trailing the cumulative inflation since 2020 but the indications we have of the reward we'll offer are still lagging cumulative inflation.

Checking some of my best performers, both of which have been promoted this year, their inflation adjusted reward is at or just under them having zero salary increase since they were hired - despite them having been promoted with major responsibility change since then.

For the best example one developer has gone from a new hire expected to just complete stories with no design input - up to technical lead with multiple junior reports - and yet is only making £675 more take home per year in real terms.

I had grumbles last year, and I've had statements about *needing* a salary increase throughout the year at monthly reviews (hence the reason I've done a number of promotion cases - although promotion isn't linked to reward) - and I'm unsure about how I handle both the reward discussions and how I report the reward discussions back up.

Tangential but a thing about defaults - when I was at uni, in a lot of labs we were doing data analysis and plotting in something called Origin.

Sane defaults are very important and I'm not sure why they are often afterthoughts

That's key because it shows how money isn't the only reward that can encourage unhealthy gambling behavior. It sounds like the victims express feeling of a sunk cost, knowing that if they don't maintain their status with additional purchases, all the previous money spent will have been wasted. If it took them $10k to get there, why throw it all away (and disappoint their "club") if you can keep it rolling for another $100?

Well but that really isn't it.

Its more like doing X has some inherent danger and if you do more of X then its likely more people are gone be insured. So comparing to some 'industry avg' in an industry that also includes people building cube-sats compared to the most powerful rocket engine isn't really fair.

And I wasn't suggesting this to say what SpaceX is doing is inherently ok (I don't know enough) but to establish better comparative baselines.

Then we can actually figure out if SpaceX is more unsafe or simply does more dangerous activity.

The Bramah lock is interesting for another couple of reasons. I haven't taken one apart, (despite being tempted, read on), but they're an interesting installation.

A couple years back, I built a custom jewelry box for a customer who supplied a Bramah box lock for the job.

Locks for boxes are a perpetual source of hassle in sourcing. The thing to realize about a box lock is that rather than preventing a shearing motion along the key way axis (like a door or drawer lock), they instead prevent you from making a pulling motion away from the keyway axis. This is comparatively uncommon (apart from patio doors, which are not furniture-sized and are rarely nice).

As a consequence, your options for a box lock are limited. Basically everything that's actually available on the market apart from Bramah is a warded lock. They are not particularly secure, though you can get nicely enough made ones.

Box locks are typically half-mortise, meaning you can see the back of the lock from the inside of the box. If that doesn't make sense, consider a standard door lock. Those are full-mortise, meaning that the body of the lock is entirely contained by wood on both sides of the door.

When you install half-mortise lock, you cut the mortise for the lock body, fit the lock into the mortise from the back, and give it a little bump to make an impression for where the pin the key fits over goes. Then you can drill through from the back side, cut out the keyhole, and usually also fit an escutcheon over
(or into depending on the type of the escutcheon) the key hole. They key thing here is that you can get your lock nicely fitted and flush in its mortise and then drill the hole last. You have opportunities to double-check and adjust the fitment of the lock as you go before drilling through to the show surface.

With a Bramah, everything is backwards. You drill a hole from the show surface for the cylinder, and then you mark out and cut the mortise afterwards. If you've left the top of the lock a hair proud of the surface of the box, you're shit out of luck. You get one shot to drill that hole and drill it perfectly or you've spoiled the show surface. Usually after considerable effort to get to the point where you're ready to install a lock. Among other things, you've typically gotten to the point where you have hinges installed. Which in turn means the whole box is together.

It goes without saying that a test installation or two is highly recommended.

How much readily accessible surface coal is left?

As the reference also says, 53% of it is recoverable by surface mining. Bagger 288 is only notable for being a big shovel. It doesn't do anything that couldn't be done by guys with smaller shovels. 30 meters deep is nothing. The Big Hole in South Africa was dug to 240 meters deep by hand.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Hole

Edit:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_coal_mining

"By 1856, the average depth in the Borinage was 361 meters (1,184 ft), and in 1866, 437 meters (1,434 ft) and some pits had reached down 700 to 900 meters (2,300 to 3,000 ft); one was 1,065 meters (3,494 ft) deep, probably the deepest coal mine in Europe at this time."

The cuda happy path is very polished and works reliably. The amdgpu happy path fights you a little but basically works. I think the amd libraries starting to be packaged under Linux is a big deal.

If you don't want to follow the happy path, on Nvidia you get to beg them to maybe support your use case in future. On amdgpu, you get the option to build it yourself, where almost all the pieces are open source and pliable. The driver ships in Linux. The userspace is on GitHub. It's only GPU firmware which is an opaque blob at present, and that's arguably equivalent to not being able to easily modify the silicon.

They paid taxes according to the laws of a sovereign nation. Seems like a done deal to me. Europe should get their affairs in order.

I’d consider myself a good coder, and though I have the standard number of digits, I do not have enough to count the number of times I’ve written bad code. But I’ve written a lot of code, and over the decades I’ve learned a lot. I think that process requires some bad code along the way.
You can already convert a compute graph to GPU-optimized code using something like Aesara (formerly known as Theano) or TensorFlow. There are also efforts in the systems space that ought to make this kind of thing more widespread in the future, such as the MLIR backend for LLVM.

Is there, though? Perhaps discovering electricity (I.e. electric generator and motor) inevitably leads to industrialization. We don't know, since we invented both complex water-powered textile machines and steam engines well before we invented electricity, so we don't really know how a complex medieval society would have reacted to it.

Also, if civilization collapses it's still fairly likely that a powerdrill will survive (not necessarily functioning, but intact enough that people will look at it and play with copper spirals). Actually, so will internal combustion engines probably, although that won't do much without the requisite metallurgy.
Yes, GP here. I'm also talking about the fact that the very foundation of the globalization economy is based on fossil fuels. That belief (?) is going to influence decisions literally from the bottom up. As long as that foundation is printing money - and it is - it's going to influence all that sits on too of it.
For the better. The future society will develop technology at a slower pace, and their technology will be naturally constrained by sustainability concerns from the get-go. We've turned 'medieval' into a pejorative during the Enlightenment period (17th, 18th centuries) predominantly for political reasons. Think red vs blue false dichotomy in contemporary politics. From a spiritual, technological and cultural perspective the Medieval age wasn't quite the dark pit of despair its political enemies made it to be. Visit a village e.g. in the French country side, there is something deep inside us that recognizes it as more organically fulfilling than either Industrial towns, or Contemporary sprawls.
