Yes, true. But what I meant (and failed to explain, apparently) that for instance a gearbox can be paired to a particular ECU and that the manufacturer does that to stop the gearbox from being sold separately from the engine, which makes it harder for a chopshop to do its thing because and engine without a serial number is kind of suspect but a gearbox (which, especially for a larger car can be quite expensive) would often be overlooked during an inspection. By tying the two together it now becomes mandatory to not only swap out the gearbox but also the engine (or the ECU, but that's not all that easy either).

I've had a VW van stolen right from in front of my house and to this day it's a mystery to me how they did it, there was no glass so they must have had a key or a way to open the vehicle and those are fairly solid. You can't start the car unless you have a key with the right transponder in it and that transponder is known to the ECU. So you'd have to bring a key that works on the door, open the door, teach that key to the ECU (or swap out the whole thing) and then drive off with the car. But it was all done in a couple of minutes at most.

It's 8 years ago now or so and I'm still looking for it, every time I see a long wheelbase silvergray VW with a camper roof my head turns all by itself to check the roof raises at the back (which is a very rare combination).
There are no safe levels of lead exposure and there plenty of homes with lead piping as well as lead service lines: https://www.nrdc.org/resources/lead-pipes-are-widespread-and...
What about MV3 requires going through the Chrome Web Store to update block lists? A quick look at the declarativeNetRequest docs (https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/decla...) shows that there are indeed static rulesets which need to be declared in the extension's manifest, but also dynamic rulesets which can be updated via JavaScript (and so presumably can be fetched and updated dynamically). I can't seem to find any specific limitation of dynamic rulesets vs. static rulesets.
You're struggling with basic vocabulary. Address your own shortcomings first before worrying about anyone else.
The way the different chocolates are laid out, it does look like Tony's is the highest (it's ordered first), but it's actually the lowest of the "high in lead" category.

Still high, but not the highest, which goes to Hershey's Special Dark Mildly Sweet chocolate and has just under twice as much lead as Tony's, according to the report.
What's the privacy and licensing like for this? I'm honestly too ignorant to know if someone's allowed to use this for commercial purposes, or even if it's sending the generated images/prompts somewhere even if it's rendering locally.
The cost is not in viewing the advertising or my time but in the pollution of my brain and that's something I take rather personal. But my government posts their stuff on youtube, as does my kids' school, as do the manufacturers of the gear I use, as do the courses that I have already paid for. So it's not like I have much of a choice here. On top of that youtube monetizes my own content which I do not monetize. I'd be happy to pay for the hosting but they don't offer that option, they just want to have their eyeballs.
My wife despises HR but isn't familiar with that bit, and I misplace my hat on a daily basis, so that quote is my private in-joke in my household.
I was using the number from the article. Glad to hear they over-generalized or used the wrong metric.
Have you been on antibiotics since you had it? If so, did it make it any worse?

I have a slight case of tinnitus and need to do a 2 week round of neomycin. Doctor says it shouldn't make it worse since it's a short course, but I'm still concerned/anxious about it.
Whether or not it's a good idea would really depend on what percentage of hot versus cold water ends up consumed (versus used for non-consumption purposes). Over the lifetime of the undissolved lead accumulation.
This is really smart imo. Portland uses tree cover near the roads to keep them cooler. This year the city put data to that idea and identified "heat islands" that occurred due to a large drop off in tree coverage. Similar study below:

Greetings from Ukraine, EUROPEAN country at war.

Though, we are in trouble now, but even at best times, we have so little wages, for $1M you could build OS in Ukraine, not just app.

Ukrainian developers, are among the best in the whole world, I think in top ten at technical skills.

For design Ukrainians are not so cool, but also good and much cheaper than other Europe or US.

And also we have powerful cinematography industry, with rich history, also very under-priced. So, good professional ad, or even AR/VR is also not a problem.

If you wish, we could talk about create remote command of Ukrainian developers.
Video that looks great for the target market.

This is dangerous. There is no such thing as “bullet proof”. Giving people even the impression they have some kind of additional protection against firearms is another “full self driving” moment.

Why slight the target market? The gun in this video is a Thompson Sub Machine Gun aka “Tommy Gun”. Actually perfect for marketing this. Full auto seems scary and inherently more “powerful”, and the Tommy Gun is iconic and recognizable to the general public as something using by gangsters.

The thing is the Thompson fires .45 ACP which is a large round but often has relatively low muzzle velocity - the most important criteria when it comes to armor or penetrating solid surfaces.

A “typical” .45 ACP round is 935 ft/s. In Chicago we have kids with Glocks modified full auto via a “switch”. A .357 SIG Glock with an extended magazine is 30 rounds at around 1,450 ft/s. An FN 5.7 can reach well over 2,000 ft/s. Even 9mm +p+ is 1300 ft/s.

Level IIIa body armor using composite plates and Kevlar, etc is barely rated to stop the lower end of these rounds. They would slice through the Cybertruck like butter. These are handguns - a modern round in a modern rifle or SMG would be even more effective, of course.

Not to mention, the Tommy Gun in this setting is shoulder mounted so muzzle climb is at a minimum. The glass is relatively safe as a result. In the scenarios I’ve described muzzle climb at full auto is substantial and there is a very good chance it will climb up almost regardless of aim and hit the glass.

Not to nerd out on guns but if someone buys this and feels emboldened in terms of firearm defense it probably won’t end well.
We have some exciting news re: Trunk to announce in January — taking the project to the next level.

Thanks for mention :)
Off-topic, but was these diagrams created by hand or is there an app that will make hand-drawn diagrams like this?
I don’t mean to shit on your idea, because I think in some ways it’s a cool idea, but I think for it to work, you’d have to also try to encourage a pretty massive cultural shift in the way people consume fashion. Fast fashion is a massive problem, but the reason it’s a massive problem is because so many people don’t actually give much thought to the environmentally devastating impacts, and a lot of people just want the instant gratification of having the new thing right now!
People who are already looking for ways to be more sustainable are likely already doing things such as shopping at thrift stores and repurposing worn out things themselves.
Additionally, some of the bigger brands do actually take back their old stuff, and either repurpose it, or resell it, branded as things like “sustainable” or “conscious”. There are also websites that are specifically for selling second hand things from brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Hermes and the likes… sometimes for more than it was originally sold for.
I personally would rather buy something secondhand, than have it go through another stage of repurposing that actually can also end up increasing carbon footprints etc…
Do people even know where to start with this? Is any research even trying to find a way to replicate these abilities in a mammal?
I very cursorily skimmed your paper but I didn’t spot where it discusses overlapping the patches. Is it the section about using the hybrid model with a convolutional step which de facto accomplishes it (maybe?) instead of overlapping patches?
This is probably a good take. I think though that the cost of health care only comes into play when the obese person begins to take action to try to change their situation or to manage their condition. Until that point their health care costs are minimal since they are not focused on staying healthy or becoming healthier. But yes, overcoming the consequences of obesity will be expensive, a lot more than this drug.
You can do better than text too before the driver load, even Grub uses high res and has a background image these days.
I’m sure there are 100 good reasons, just to play with the thought, why not a chain? Like on a motorbike.

With all those extra gears, the efficiency should be comparable? Would only work for real wheels of course.
Try working on a car where every vendor still, after obd2 regulation still wants their electronics.

Now that every vendor wants to glue a tablet to their dashboard and a 3/4g radio to watch everything I do, it's even worse.

I really don't think I'll buy a new car again.
Sell binaries without code for individuals/enterprises who can train on private data , Get some GPUs and sell training platforms similar to together.ai for enterprises with data privacy guarantee. just make it super simple , give a google like sheet to fill or dump a folder with text files and you can use ml to make it in structured format. User gives

Input - > excel, txt etc

Select model base -> mystal, llama2

output --> fine trained model.

Give a fixed cost based on data you got .. say it will take $50 to train on this ? for 25 hours of GPU with your markup.

User Pays the bill and get PEFT llama model out.

The big problem i see in Finetuning for GPU Poor is no one gives an estimate on how much it will cost for your data on a given model.

have a calculator for x words or Bytes and y epochs, here is the cost we are estimating..

Once you make your $x million in terms of 50x your pay for the time you invested, you can open source it, but we are greedy when it comes to money.. so opensource model at your will. In the mean time hope no one catches your technique.
Try working on open source Minecraft projects. You will make these types of refactors monthly. The Bukkit/Spigot API has a 13 year pedigree, 10s of thousands of developers building against it, easily encompasses 1M+ lines of code across the whole codebase and needs to remain nimble in the face of unpredictable upstream changes. Watching the work some of these developers are able to pull off will definitely give you a healthy appreciation of what sorts of refactors are possible when you commit to them.

> or is unavoidable (IaC/build scripts, shell/sql/migration scripts, config files, etc.

This is a failure of the tooling in question. We shouldn't accept shoddily built tooling as an acceptable justification for unreadable codebases. Obviously, there are tradeoffs and sometimes you just need to get the tool out the door, but when a particular tool (like a professional IaC project) becomes some people's primary programming languages, then treating those languages like second class citizens who "unavoidably" are going to just be awful to work with is just limiting the growth of the tool as a whole. Terraform modules are a great example of this—all that ceremony and hassle just for what is effectively a single function call! If Terraform had single-file modules and a better import system than "relative file paths", I'd expect we'd see a lot more Terraform code bases with smaller root module files.
Espressif dev here. I usually advise people to break out GPIO0 (or GPIO9 for the ESP32Cx series) because 1. if you somehow write firmware that reconfigures the USB pins, there's no way to get the USB connection going via which you can reset the ESP into download mode, and 2. if somehow a firmware upload aborts halfway, the ESP32 can go into a bootloop with the USB device periodically disappearing. In the 2nd scenario, it's not impossible to time your flash so it goes through, but simply pulling GPIO0 low is easier. I don't think having an actual button is needed, but I'd certainly have a test point or another way you can ground that pin when you get yourself in a pickle.

I wonder about the same thing in general for people taking this drug. I think the reason some people are overweight is because their body is asking for that much food not for the sake of caloies but to get adequate nutrition. (I am not sure what fraction this would apply to.)
Anyone even slightly overweight can go to a clinic and get semaglutide that day.
I've got multiple tones in both ears. Most of the time I don't notice it but sometimes... well it's hard not to panic when you realize you can't escape it. I would very much like to experience life without the ringing again before I kick the bucket. I'd honestly probably cry.
Firefox rennaissance anyone?
> I still haven't figured out how to open source algorithms

You're not supposed to be able to restrict algorithms (i.e. math), and copyright (e.g. open source licenses) is definitely not the right tool. If you want to do it anyway, You'll have better chances by abusing the patent system.
What I am saying is that know-it-all types, who have come full circle with this and demonstrate full spectrum brainwave mastery, may have developed tinnitus as a result of experiencing too much fight or flight while fervently enumerating their existential understanding of who they exactly are. But by all means downvote the statement for sloppy writing or your inability to draw the correlation.
Is This the End of 'Intel Inside'?
This might be a stupid question but will this affect Edge as well?

Right now it's unclear to me how much Edge extensions are tied to the Chrome Store policies.
A note of caution regarding earplugs: they can introduce infection, which in turn (I suspect) may play a role in triggering or causing tinnitus. It probably depends on individual predisposition and climate (to me it happened in hot humid environment), but I recommend caution.

I wish I could use earplugs (or IEM headphones with good sound isolation) a lot of the time, but I found out the hard way (after infection subsided I have intermittent tinnitus as well).
Yes, it's absolutely possible. You have a whole slew of stuff connected to that bus and if it shorts out then it can take other parties connected to the same bus with it depending on what is shorted out and how.

What you think of as a taillight is actually a couple of micro computers, a DC-DC converter and a whole bunch of LEDs, connectors and so on on it's own circuit board with potentially a bunch of other IO for the safety features mentioned in TFA which could basically be anything. So all of that lives on the secondary can bus (which can have 10's of clients). Short out that bus in a creative way and you may well end up creating a nasty cascade of issues that run from one end of the car to the other. Normally this shouldn't happen. But the potential is there. In my car - fortunately - I just have regular lightbulbs. They're a pain to change out because of how the front and the back of the car are constructed but the worst they can do is blow a fuse. I keep a very small socket and driver in the car just in case I have to do that on the road because without the right tools it is impossible. And even with the tools it is a 20 minute job.
Have you ever been to a casino?
Eristic Reasoning
Most mechanical stresses in the drivetrain are transient and happen in the transmission. In the engine, they happen in the "out of band" power regimes -- very low and very high RPM.

The hybrid moves those transient "stresses," and the imparted maintenance thereof, into the electrical system. The engine never sees them.

This unlocks additional efficiencies. For example, the Prius uses the more fuel efficient Atkinson cycle engine. This is not possible in a standard car, because it cannot provide enough power in those transient regimes. You also get things like regenerative braking which help prolong brake life.

And, there's probably a bit of selection bias as well. I could see that the type of someone who buys a Prius is the type to not thrash it. That probably makes it appear more reliable in the statistics.
I don't know. I feel he left me too early to explain since he died prematurely of cancer..
Signal claims to only have the phone number and, IIRC, last connection time. But being American they seem at least somewhat vulnerable to pressure by the US government.
I need friends
A couple of months ago I was in the hospital for routine surgery. When I was in the pre-op area I overheard the conversation happening in the bed next to mine where a person was about to go into unplanned surgery and was consulting with an anesthesiologist. The doctor was suggesting a certain course of action that the patient wasn't in to, but the doctor explained that his suggestion came from the position that ozempic was so new that there was so little understanding of how it interacted with anesthesia and other things in general, they had to proceed with extreme caution. He kept stressing how little was know about this drug when it came to an emergency or surgery setting.
I was told we can't build like that anymore.
Another thing that everyone has been doing for decades: “We built what we call the unified memory architecture that is scalable across products”
"Smartifying" my hi-fi system
“Just don’t have a highly interactive web app.”

“Just don’t run services that require more than one VM.”

It’s a ridiculous take.
“A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains.” 35 U.S.C. § 103.
Another issue is the physical layer of the CAN bus system.

For something meant for automotive deployment in massive numbers I'm not particularly impressed with how the typical physical layer is implemented. There is relatively little margin for error and the topology is just designed for cost efficiency, not for reliability or redundancy.
This is from late September.

Fun fact: Frank Muci is a Policy Fellow at the London School of Economics's School of Public Policy.
He might be a brilliant mechanic, but he sounds just like my paranoid anti-vax coworker when he starts talking about the BRICS currency. The solutions are open standards and documentation, not going back to the stone age.
Oh, we absolutely have on our boards. It's just we've had to use it to recover from a borked flash maybe twice, total? We don't have a button, just have to bridge some pads.
Yes, there are also anti-theft features built into electronics on cars too. (There's also frustrating anti-theft features built into mechanical parts on cars too, e.g. locking lug nuts, fiddly key mechanisms, parts with hard to access or nonexistent fasteners, etc)

But also, most vehicles don't really technically have ECUs anymore, despite that name sticking around in common use. Most stuff in the past 30 years has a PCM, because there's a lot of features that makes sense to coordinate between the engine and transmission in a modern car.

Even back in the 90's heyday of EFI engine tuning, one often had to be conscious of which transmission their "ECU" was expecting, because some transmission features were staring to get integrated into the engine control logic.

The simplest explanation for the missing van is a thief with a tow truck :). e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcE8nmDNEDw
That’s kind of a flippant answer. I hope you know that viruses (particularly the herpes family) cause at least some forms of cancer and herpes is super transmissible and most people have some form (in particular familial herpes but also chicken pox). Can you catch it from riding a bus? Probably not. But I don’t think you were talking about literally from riding a bus but we don’t know if it’s a viral infection that’s untreated and has flare ups or if you can treat the viral infection and get reinfected. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s both - typically it’s a flare up but even if you cured the viral infection you could get reinfected and get cancer expressed again.
racist ..
It's much simpler on Linux. You just do `# apt install nvidia-driver`, and reboot. That's all.

This also won't install all the horrible security nightmares that come with the Windows drivers, as that stuff doesn't exist on Linux.

So overall a much better experience than on Windows.

I recently bought a couple of audiomoths for monitoring or tracking birds passing through my area. It records up to 192kHz I think so it can pick up ultrasonic chirps from bats. Anyway while passing the recorded data into Audacity to search for bird calls I was able to finally nail down the bandwidth where my tinnitus overwhelms all other signal and to begin to understand the depth of my work-related hearing loss. I use the low and high pass filters to extract the signals across discrete frequencies and then track the level of gain I need to apply in order to be able to hear the calls that are in each extracted band. This is quite useful for me as before I knew that there are sounds I cannot hear unless there is almost no background noise but I had no idea where they were spectrally or just how much hearing loss I had in each band.

I could potentially use this information to design a hearing aid that boosts sounds in the affected bands so that I can hear them. I am not sure I can inverse filter the tinnitus-related noise since it is random intensity though a notch filter could be an option since it is narrow band.

I hope the tinnitus discovery thing in this article ends up being useful.
We're mostly talking about it coming back. A treatment might eliminate the vast amount of cancer cells, but some can be lying dormant and wake back up at some later time (and since they survived, the ones that are more resistant to treatment have been selected-- prognosis is then much worse the second time around). Or sometimes those "seeds" of recurrent cancer never awake.

Of course, people who get one cancer are, on average, more genetically and environmentally exposed to cancer risk. Cancer treatments themselves can even increase the risk of new cancer in some cases. So getting an entirely independent cancer is possible, too.
That shit is real. I was never obese but somewhat overweight and lost half the excess weight in just 2 months even still being far from full dose (it escalates over 4 months to minimise side effects). Side effects so far: 3 days of bad headache close to the end of 1st month, and about two cases of 1-2 days of light to moderate headache after. Nothing else.

Plus, i completely quit drinking. Was never trying to even going to, i just didn't feel like drinking at all anymore about a month into it.
Surprised to see so much use of FPGAs and not ASICs for cheaper mass-production of the missiles. I wonder if they went with the FPGAs for secrecy reasons (no need to hand over chip designs) or if they simply wanted the ability to patch bugs in the hardware. For the estimated manufacturing date of 1998, I would have imagined FPGAs were quite a bit more expensive.
