Thanks, but the video doesn't actually explain it. It explains a lot around it, but it just says that the chip uses a "piezoelectric fan" and shows the intake slits and the outtake jets, but I'm still not finding an explanation of the mechanism itself.

I can vaguely imagine how valves might work, but I'm still curious how they do. I looked at the linked patent applications but the descriptions seem way too complex and abstract to get any kind of intuitive sense of the mechanism without already being an expert.

There's a related video they link to: https://youtu.be/NY-gA_zA_os?si=9ULOds_TqUO56MGs which demonstrates one type of piezoelectric fan, but it seems to be operating on totally different principles -- one end is freely swinging, rather than a membrane with fixed edges oscillating. And there are definitely no valves involved in that one.

Is there anywhere else that explains how oscillating membranes generate smooth airflow?

> Tangentially related, if you've ever had the pleasure of migrating away from Google Photos/Drive with Google Takeout, prepare to spend some time fixing photo metadata in your library and re-embedding exif data with exiftool. Takeout strips out the exif data into a non-standard JSON sidecar, as opposed to something more standard/well supported like XMP.

I heard this claim before but I was never able to reproduce it. Does this only happen with the "Storage Saver" option enabled and/or when metadata has been manually changed? At least with the "Original Quality" option my takeout data seems to exactly match the files that were originally uploaded.

I find this argument so absurd. If you know JavaScript and basic programming, you can use any front-end framework.

We're hyper-specializing people in a specific framework that then don't even understand the basics of JavaScript itself.

I already find the divide between frontend and backend developers unnecessary the majority of the time. This takes it a step further and in turn creates monstrosities like the leftpad debacle.

Can we stop with this nonsense? Hire good developers and let them spend 5 minutes to learn the god damn framework of the week. If your hire can't learn React in a week, I have some bad news for you.

Lots of the genre TV shows these days—like the Netflix Marvel stuff, or most of the Star Wars or Disney Marvel tv shows—can only be saved by fan edits because of the absurdly slow plotting, used to stretch a bit over a movie of plot to fill three or more movies worth of time. The scripts and editing are beyond flabby, they’re morbidly obese. Even if you’re paying for the service, the best version of the product’s usually coming from pirates.
>Imagine taxing products in a way that is inversely proportional to their reliability. Do you make RAM or products that use RAM? Standard DIMMs and products that use standard DIMMs are taxed at a lower rate than products that use soldered on RAM.
Truth.

I got years of use out of a second-hand Brother 2350 printer and then eventually some of the electronics failed. I needed a new printer and I still owned a couple unused Brother toner cartridges. Imagine my joy when I discovered that Brother would sell me a new model that still used the same toner system.

Sticking with the same spartan feature set was fine by me. It's all I need. I didn't even bother looking at the other makers' low-end offerings. Brother's approach of treating printing as a solved problem (Build once; sell often) is so much simpler and more cost-efficient than the super-frisky alternative (Build many times; sell once)
The silver lining might be its hardly worse than how its already been. People complain we are entering an era of a firehose of falsehood. Its been that way since propaganda was rebranded as public relations after the first world war, probably longer even. You never are exposed to the full truth, the facts, the contexts. The incentives to shift opinions are too high to ever simply faithfully educate the populace. Control of the common narrative of “truth” is highly profitable, and these reins of power will never not be controlled by some entity.
I also wonder about this. The webcomponent make the style completely immutable unless you add part selector specifically… how on the earth this is even useful? Imagine using an ui library that you can't change the style at all. That sounds like a total joke to me. That isn't even a sane default that is useful to most web folks that make page base on layout that designers gave.

The note-taking analogy isn’t exactly bad or wrong, but… maybe I’m naïve, but I just don’t see where the incentives are to do anything with all these notes on our behavior beyond just mining it for possible marketing opportunities, which has just never bothered me. There are certainly classes of individuals, such as spies, very important journalists, celebrities, etc. who it might be worth it to tap into the raw data illicitly before it is purged, anonymized, summarized into oblivion. But that is true of things like the telephone network as well: it’s a data stream which is not guaranteed to be fully secure (cops can wiretap, or a crooked engineer at the phone company could gain access to listen in too). But those risks don’t seem to materialize in a way that matters to most people. So I’m as bothered by it as I am having a conversation in a restaurant: I wouldn’t yell out my SSN but overall I am pretty confident nobody cares about what I’m saying besides my intended listener.

> If the government does something to curb union power (in a non life and death situation) they'll likely lose the next election.

No they wont, if they do something like: "Sympathy strikes is not a valid reason to refuse to deliver mail" nobody who currently votes right will think that is bad. Post workers can then still strike for better conditions for themselves, but they can't shut down the postal system for companies they don't like.

Mail is necessary for many government functions, it isn't some optional thing that you can work around.

Edit: Seems like the courts agrees that this is a necessary function so they have to give them to Tesla via alternate means:

Steve didn't want you to have them. Depending on what they actually are, it could be important. If you're North Korea, and they're the secret to nuclear weapons, Bob is in a lot of trouble with Steve. Or if it's Steve's mom's ashes, and you did something to her that Steve didn't like. Regardless of how you got them, you got them, when Steve didn't want you to have them. You might as well have broken into Steve's house and stolen them yourself. That you had a third party, Bob, to get you those secrets doesn't contravene the fact that Steve didn't want you to have them.
It even seems intuitively true for domains other than basketball. When I’m ‘in the zone’ I’m probably way better at doing whatever I’m doing, so a streak of productivity is likely to continue.

There two notions of "simplicity."

One is that the implementation is very simple/transparent, e.g. C.

The second is that it allows users to have very simple code, e.g. Python.

React is mostly the first with a bit of the second. Svelte is the reverse.

My own experiences with open source suggest that no one would stick around for very long if they were motivated by fame or wealth. Being a FOSS maintainer seems to be a constant exercise in dealing with people whining at you for not fixing their problems for free, not something that brings any significant personal attention and certainly not something that provides a sustainable source of income.

There seem to be a lot of hobbies or activities like beekeeping where people seriously neglect the animals' needs yet seem quite oblivious to it. I've noticed in aquaria that people often seem to think fish or shrimp will be fine in absolutely dire conditions such as low oxygen, chemically unstable, cold, hot, or otherwise hostile environments. They're genuinely confused when the system collapses. Certainly some species are very resilient, but it's no surprise that people lose entire hives or aquariums like this. Caring for nature requires real care, attention, and diligence.

As in aquaria, if you want something you can "set and forget", you need to let nature take over and provide a) a biome resembling a natural habitat and b) place the appropriate species and scape inside it. Then you can get away with no mechanical filtration, no heater, no air, etc. You can safely go on vacation because the system will clean itself, generate food, and so on. But that requires considerable knowledge and care at the outset and the willingness to let things be. In the case of beekeeping, this almost seems like you'd need to allow a hive to be inside of a log or stump or something where the bees are properly protected and secure. Barring that, you need to be cognizant of their needs and actually take care of them.

I'm not sure why people get the idea that animals should survive in conditions so wildly different from their natural conditions, and why they continue to try to make it work.

A lot of the research says that social media isn't a cause, but more of a catalyst in the presence of other factors like cyber bullying

This reminds me of similar effects where people attributed misinformation online to mostly right wing people, but it was actually right wing was only a catalyst when a predisponsity for chaos was also present OR when de-policing and federal investigations were blamed for rise in crime when it was only also when a particular district had a "viral" event.

I don't think social media is a causal factor in itself, but it is definitely a catalyst factor in the presence of other things like wealth inequality, clout chasing, and cyberbullying.
Combine dead internet prophecy with the idea that most people commenting on the Internet are slightly crazy and the statistics look even worse.
I've had lots of problem with Brother MFC scanner/laser printer for a while. Seems to keep getting black dots and lines after some time.

Yup.

Go made a lot of odd choices from a language design perspective. It's pretty much "C, but with better types and a garbage collector!"

It certainly has its usages and does some nice things. But at the same time, the obsession with compile speed has, IMO, has been a detriment to the language as a whole. We see this in the way generics ultimately entered go after years of causing problems by not existing from the get-go.

> I've been "very lucky" with five computers in a row now, for almost a decade. Linux is actually a good, reliable desktop OS these days.

This. I've been using Linux as a primary OS across all my devices for about twenty-five years. This comprises half a dozen Raspberry Pi 4s, two laptops and a monster workstation (AMD|Intel x86_64; ASUS, Dell, and ASUS, respectively.)

I used to have enormous linux compat problems with laptops as a matter of course, and I earned my stripes doing custom kernel compiles with patches, etc. The last time I had to do this was, I think, 2016 or so.

In particular, the past half-decade's worth of installs have all Just Worked -- at least, after I turn off Secure Boot.
The downside is that it would probably just end up increasing fringe and dangerous behaviors

This reminds me of a different type of “banning” I heard about some 20 years ago. There was a physicist who had a separate mailing list for laymen who would mail him to discuss their pet theory. Since he didn’t want to be bothered with them he added them to the mailing list, telling them that they would have the chance to discuss this with other experts in the field …

Somewhat hard to take seriously after reading that. The other two operations are highly invasive. And I feel that intentionally discarding such context a poor move; If someone used similar arguments against vaccines, they would be laughed at.
Very valid point. The last papers I read on the subject conclusively show that all current networks do not hit a limit in scaling though. Bill Gates said that GPT five will not be much better than GPT four so maybe things change
It's a fair question, but you are ethically responsible for knowingly obtaining ill-gotten goods, and pirated media violates the original purchaser's agreement with the IP owner.

Basically, Bob agreed with Steve that Bob would not give anyone else the secret, and Steve only sold Bob the secret because he made that agreement, but then Bob turned around and gave it to you for free.

So Bob lied, and you know Bob lied, and you benefit from Bob lying, so it's unethical.

Again, all kinds of modifiers and caveats apply to the severity here. I really have little sympathy for Steve when he's a gazillionaire already, and the marginal value lost isn't meaningful enough to stop Steve from making more secrets, but technically speaking it appears to be an immoral act to pirate.

I dont understand how you are sayong this has nothing to do with wokeness-
Everything about the 'woke' movements consist of exerting financial pressure in the direction of a handful of hot topic political issues.

This is not unique to archealogy - sociology papers dont get funded or published unless theyre making a 'woke' argument.

Really when we say 'woke' what we mean is the current ideological zeitgeist, which is in the far liberal direction at the moment. And yes, everything about that movement is top down and facilitated by exerting financial pressure.
