Thanks for the answer that’s what I was curious about, and yeah that does kind of make it seem reasonable to me tbh. “You get to use our download and syncing infrastructure but not pay us anything for that” is a good deal.
I haven't really figured out how SBOM's work and would like to get some feedback on the entire repo and how to improve it.
Thay got what they got and they can't get no more. We should be lucky for those 8 posts that were partially saved.

In the future, with the right assistance, I'm sure they could grab better archives in the limited time they have.

I still don't think that makes what they did save less useful or make it less admirable.

It would be like a library burning down and then telling the firefighters that the few scraps of books they managed to save are not useful. Why didn't they use tools needed to save the books better?
Yes, but the parent commenter didn't use "generalized negative effects". He used different, far more disrespectful words and tone.
The word crypto comes from the Ancient Greek word kruptós, which means "hidden" or "secret". (a quote from AI)

Thus it is not a big surprise that some shady things might be going on as relates to it. Crime wants to be secret.

Author here. I have some famous-ish (within medical circles) family members, and it's interesting. On one hand, they have a lot of leeway and status, and at least the hotshots in my family are clearly treated as the medical equivalent of professional athletes, with a real craftperson's mindset.

On the other hand, I was actually talking about the EMR systems, etc, which are repeatedly purchased at exorbitant prices by vendors that churn out nearly useless products, and insist the staff spend ages doing data entry. I have some pretty horrendous stories in this space, which is why it's my go-to example in most of my posts.

Thanks for the comment!

You are maybe the fifth person to mention the octaves, haha. At the moment, I'm starting to think something like:

Easy mode: we give you the octave guardrails
Normal, hard: you have to select the right octave and the right note; if it's the right note but wrong octave, the tile turns pale green. Also, maybe some new design for the grid so that you can toggle the octave up or down beside the superscript of each tile

That's actually happened. At first I started watching it on my phone since I don't get ads there, but then it was too much work, so now I just watch it less. Honestly I'm not complaining...
Pretty sure you’d maximise the fire hazard. You’d need a gas tank. Those contribute massively to fires in parking garages. Batteries do not contribute in those fires as Norway found out in the Sola parking garage fire. Not a single EV battery pack ignited.
You’d have more chance of oil/gas leaks than with pure EVs.

With hybrid you maximise the number of parts and things that can go wrong. With a small battery you maximise the number of charge cycles it experiences, so after 10-15 years you’d have both the issues with an old ICE and badly degraded battery.

Not that I wouldn’t want to see small and smart series hybrid cars. At least in a transition period. There’s these linear free piston engines that could be very efficient for this. But a pure BEV is the ideal solution in the end.

Interesting, that does not sound efficient? How much more efficient than using electrical heating directly instead?

"Crypto is finance without borders" is not a positive statement.
Borders are important for security. Especially because states have varying degrees of ill-intent towards each other's citizens.

But more important than borders is jurisdiction of regulators. At least a significant portion of crimes are also evil. Lack of regulation really helps those evil things happen. Generally financial regulation is one of the more effective forms of crime prevention.

There's certainly regulation so stupid it almost reaches malice. There's probably regulation that is intentionally malicious. That needs to be solved, but solving it by saying 'only regulation as the cryptocurrencies currently allow' throws out way too much regulation. It lets too many evil things all of a sudden happen.

Thank you for taking the time to write this. "CEOs think they are buying an appliance" sums it all up perfectly. I hold them accountable because they're paid so much that they should know better, but you're right that a lot of people try very hard to mislead them, and sometimes they're even incentivized to be misled. If you build in-house to suit your data models and workflow, there is a chance you won't ever get the thing deployed, then you look bad.

What...? No. There are no PCIe packets, it's completely separate. The USB 2.0 wires are not part of the Thunderbolt specification, it's part of the USB C connector specification. USB C is a physical connector with four high speed lanes, a separate pair of wires for USB 2.0, one for negotiating things and one "extra". Here is a TB3 dock with a USB 2.0 port: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1512891-REG/belkin_f4...

This is the same reason you see some adapters using DisplayPort alternate mode have a USB 2.0 port only -- in this case, it's DP packets which occupy the four high speed lanes much like Thunderbolt above.

Yes, Titan Ridge must connect via DisplayPort lanes and you are right, it definitely looks like it only takes five lanes, wow. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/accessories/pd029622-displa... says two 3840*2160@60hz and a 2560 × 1440@60Hz monitor is supported which is 30.71 Gbit/s -- a third 4K would require 37.62. https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/dell-wd19tb-dock/... explicitly says it's five lanes. https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/wd22tb4-dock/dell... even TB4 is?? Wow!
Yeah, it's both an earlier development, and it also doesn't really apply fully. In almost all modern aircraft, aural alerts are only used for very dangerous situations that require immediate pilot action. However, there are still a lot of "abstract" sounds used, either where it occurs often (like autopilot disconnect) or where spelling it out isn't needed (like a generic warning or caution tone to bring attention to the display that describes the error)
I can't remember if I saw this in Slack or Peopleware (either way, very evidence-light books), but they made the great point that there's basically no good data on open plans being better than offices. It's just that you can measure the cost of floor space and it makes manager lives easier. Programmers benefit from thinking, managers benefit from being able to ask people for updates on a whim and lowering costs in the short-term, and guess who decides on the seating arrangements?

I have some other hot takes on how, despite I believe Peopleware being a Bill Gates favourite and my executives drooling at the thought of being as wealthy as him, they don't actually read or do anything of the things he recommends when it doesn't result in an immediate superficial victory.

I think this issue is mainly about getting the right equipment and training. Since some countries are far ahead I’m sure the available training material is rapidly getting better.

I’ve been saying for a while that we’d see something like a kiddie pool to contain water around a EV with thermal runaway. So [5] was very interesting and fun to see.

The total load on fire departments should be lower. We’re hitting 30-50% EVs on the road in some cities in Norway, and fire departments here seem very positive. There’s fewer fires so even if it’s a bit more challenging to handle it should be a net positive.
I was already going to write that this is a beautifully written comment, and then the high praise at the end sealed the deal! Thank you! I must confess that I am still in the reactionary phase of having watched Simple Made Easy two years ago, and am relentlessly trying to remove complexity, but your comment made me think about whether I've gone too far the other way. Complexity is frustrating because it is frequently the result of bad choices (at least where I work), but the ability to handle it probably is a fair marker for excellence.

"Make it simpler" isn't an option sometimes, and I still instinctively flinch away from those instances.

Oh, and the description of "empathy" as really being the willingness to engage with a kind of complexity is a very beautiful parallel between the worlds of software engineering and being a decent human being. I really love that.
Hey dang
This is a different game. The first one is for notes. This is for intervals. Completely different but similar concepts

It sounds like typical propaganda against cryptocurrency.

To be clear I'm 100% for cash, but also it is impossible to ignore all those fabricated narratives against crypto about financing everything currently wrong.

Crypto is real threat for banks and states and they'll do everything to hold their monopoly in financial system.
And what about async promises? Those really make it hard to reason about what the system is doing.
I enjoy Aliens—it's the bigger, more over-the-top production of the two.

But I prefer Alien for its intimacy and slowly growing horror. John Hurt's character's arc stunned me as a child, and is still one of my favorite turns of storytelling. I love the set design and overall tone of the movie. It's a different space mood than other space movies. And it nails that feeling of being hunted on a spaceship (so far as I would know).
Indeed, 22 Nobel Prizes have been awarded to researchers who have or had a connection with ETHZ.
I don't think that there are any cars that are accessible in the way you've mentioned. It seems like too niche of a use case in exchange for more complexity and time to develop. These systems are usually built for drivers first and foremost, so them being able to see is an assumption that most can make.
That was fun, especially as it convinced me that my pitch isn't that bad after all. I have a suggestion for an option where to choose a different instrument for the melody and the other to play back your guesses. That would help practice your pitch without focusing on the timbre.
They fabbed a lot of AI chips. Nvidia's Ampere chips up to 3090 were made by Samsung in 8 nm.

Interestingly the chips bigger than those found in the 3090 (so GA100s for A100s) were made by TSMC on a 7 nm node.

Maybe Samsung's yield was not high enough to produce those large chips (AD100 is 826 mmsq and would probably be even bigger on Samsung's node).
I thought about fractals while reading the article too.

And I'm starting to worry that maybe fractal-like concepts not only apply to geometry (as in, "how long is the coastline", or "what direction is the coastline at point (x,y)?"), but to truths in general.

Just like the article describes, "rough" facts like "water boils at 100C" can have tonnes of nuance, and when you drill down into the details, you might discover that the truth is so much more complicated that the notion of truth and falsity is lost among the vast sea of complex details. (eg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram#/media/File:Phas... ... who'd have thought something taught in elementary school would be so complicated :-/ )

So is it possible that most "truths" in which we have absolute conviction
are actually just rough understandings, and if we dig deep enough we'd find that we're actually mostly wrong? It seems insane to think that way, but I have a strong intuition that this might actually be the case.
That's an evolutionary mystery? How about cats being trained to use the toilet?! They're on their way to taking over the planet.
ran fine in FF on 2018 x1 carbon...
I read something great to this effect recently, but I can't remember where. The gist of it is that adding people increases overhead, so the absolute smartest play is to keep the tiniest team physically possible and give them an absurd amount of leverage - which frequently takes the form of licensing the things that you really -can- commodify well.

The fundamentals of data engineering (https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/fundamentals-of-data/97...) is adamant on this. If you're a new data engineering team, just buy things that download the data you need, because fetching data from APIs is (usually) pretty simple to do with automated tooling. Then your team can focus on the part that we haven't nailed, like making sane models.
That is so good, works excellently even on mobile. I shall bookmark!
I'm blaming the SEC for not making clear rules and for sitting on their behinds for years letting crypto exchanges do whatever they want in the US. They have done an extremely poor job of protecting Americans from financial fraud in the crypto sector.

Who can blame the companies jumping on the profit train? If you have a drug problem in your city it does little help to blame the drug dealers, you blame the people that are supposed to arrest the drug dealers.
Yet you will find that mortage interests charged by the bank don't match your series, because they use an accrual schedule with a special way to measure years fractions, then calculate an equivalent notional for those dates, and remap that to your payment calendar.

Turns out there is a surprinsing amount of details here as well. And you don't have all parameters for the calculation, like often in life.

I had a great chat with a reader yesterday, where I became very concerned that we aren't incentivizing young people (like myself!) to pick up the "carve code out of firmament" skills. We just rely on certain personality types getting into it, whereas we fling prestige and money at surgeons. Meanwhile, where I am, they'll only fling money at me if I memorize details about the Snowflake billing model and API - not very useful to society if we need to innovate!

You're right though. As someone near the top pointed out - some things actually do get commoditized, like mail merges. That actually works and is probably never going away. Maybe the real issue is that a lot of these products aren't innovative at all, have no shot at being the next mail merge, and our leaders largely don't understand how to tell the difference.

> Especially because states have varying degrees of ill-intent towards each other's citizens.

I think the major risk crypto people see is not other states, but their own state.

> At least a significant portion of crimes are also evil.

Likewise, a portion of non-crimes is evil. For example money printing. And it's huge, we're talking trillions.

The same trillions that can't be traced once they enter the Pentagon.

Generally, there seems to no longer be a moral authority the state wields, crimes and evil decoupled a long time ago, and people now see that they can choose who fleeces them and how.

Not at all - I probably just wrote badly and gave off the wrong tone there. I love that people can find excitement in almost anything. But uh, yeah, the book is very strange. There are a lot of characters that just take all sorts of insane abuse at work, and then with a grim face think: "This company is my family. I will not fail. Parts Unlimited will conquer the opposition."

Honestly despite paying for netflix, I never stopped using torrents, even for netflix shows.

Their UI is terrible and the geographic limitations are annoying, your watch list is unusable and the suggestions keep getting in your way. It's like their are not using their own product, and netflix is the least bad of the streaming services.

I don’t think this is true - this is completely normal behaviour. The cooling fan is coming on due to a phenomenon called heat soak which is where the engine temperature increases above normal for a time after it has been switched off due to the lack of coolant flow. The fan is coming on to aid cooling the engine/engine bay to reduce the effect of heat soak.

With carburettor fed engines it is sometimes advised by the manufacturer to allow the engine to idle for some time after running it at high RPM. This is because the effect of heat soak can be significant enough to boil all the fuel off in the carb, making the engine hard to restart when hot.

First of all, don't run anything "LTS" on a dev box. You really want a "rolling release" for that purpose. Something like Debian Testing (as it's the most compatible).

Secondly it's very well possible to remove features from a language. It just needs to be well enough designed that there is a good migration story (ideally though automatic rewrite by the compiler). Just see what Scala 3 did!
