Lack of diversity is stated but never mentioned again. Diversity of what is left to the readers interpretation. This reads like a hit piece rather than a genuine exploration of a real issue.
The point is to use this as a RISC-V development machine, not to get performance parity with x86.
> For (2) yeah we probably need to lower our expectations on privacy for the time being; it’s a masters thesis and privacy in open distributed systems is very tricky.

If we do care about privacy, any moderation system should first be designed to meet that goal. Its not worth designing a moderation system if we don't first know it will work with one of the core requirements.
> IIRC the B777 engine controllers are still m68k. Discontinued in 1995.

That seems sensible? You’d need a really compelling reason to rewrite the entire control software and recertify the engine to match. Especially for an engine which has seen no order in 15 years.
For LFP you can supposedly pack the cells very tight, as they require less thermal management if I understand correctly. And you’re HAVE to do this optimisation for LFP to have decent pack level energy density.

For Li-ion cells, you need that empty space for cooling of the battery cells anyway.

And Tesla has demonstrated that cylindrical cells can contribute to the structure in a structural battery pack.

So for Li-ion I don’t think cylindrical cells are worse. There’s just different trade-offs.

But yeah, one of downsides it can be hard or impossible to replace individual cells if they have problems.
Oh, first of all, I truly respect this kind of teaching work. My only experience is in graduate or post-graduate level teaching. So really don't what is ideal in your situation.

I think we mostly agree on this, and there's a reason the mantra "Hamas=ISIS" was so common.

Two points we disagree on:

> The difference between a Hamas militant and a civilian is simply whether they are currently holding their AK-47.

That's true in terms of what they seem like visually (which is maybe what you meant). Not true in the sense that most Gazans are not members of Hamas.

That does make it a lot harder to know who is Hamas and who isn't, but it's still possible (maybe) to effectively take out Hamas by capturing/killing all the known leaders, anyone who is actively holding hostages, anyone in tunnels, etc. I don't think Israel would need to kill literally every Hamas militant, nor should it.

> The more civilians are killed the more angry young men are drawn to the cause. Short of flattening the whole area and killing everyone I don't see an end.

I hope you're wrong, for everyone's sake.

But it really is true that the US killed a lot of Germans and Japanese, and now the Germans and Japanese are allies. It's not automatic that everyone will turn to violence. Also, if there is no organizational structure around it, then "angry young men that turned to violence" don't actually have anything to do with their anger.
Yeah, but when I last installed an HP printer with AirPrint support it wouldn't print unless I set it up, preferably with an app that somehow was very interested in my contact information and GPS location...
> You should check out "The Darkening Age" by Catherine Nixey.

Please do not waste your time:

> Her publisher’s blurb informs us that Nixey’s book tells “the largely unknown – and deeply shocking – story” of how a militant Christianity “extinguished the teachings of the Classical world” and was “violent, ruthless and intolerant” in an orgy of destruction and oppression that was “an annihilation”. On the other hand, no less an authority than the esteemed historian of Late Antiquity, Dame Averil Cameron, calls Nixey’s book “a travesty”, roundly condemning it as “overstated and unbalanced”. And Dame Averil is correct – this is a book of biased polemic masquerading as historical analysis and easily the worst book I have read in years.

* https://historyforatheists.com/2017/11/review-catherine-nixe...

It is all sorts of wrong on various topics:

> For basic facts that Nixey lies about—she states that Aristotle was erased by Christian monks. Clearly, she has no knowledge of how Aristotle was incorporated into Catholic thinking from the first centuries of the church, visibly in St. Gregory’s Pastoral Rule (or the fact that it was monks in France who preserved copies of Aristotle in the Latin West long before he was “reintroduced” by Muslims either). […]

> Nixey also cherry picks her facts concerning supposed Christian iconoclasm and militancy. It was the Roman military, rather than Christian mobs, who were responsible for the destruction of the library at Antioch which Nixey paints as evidence of Christian iconoclastic and anti-intellectual mob violence. The Roman military was also one of the last institutions in the post-Constantinian settlement that was Christianized. […]

> Likewise, Nixey’s claim that Latin literature and literacy collapsed after the Christianization of the Roman Empire is the most egregious of cherry-picked examples. Barbarization and the internal moral decline of Roman society on its own accord were the more guilty culprits—especially considering the Gothic and Frankish tribes that settled into an already decadent Roman Empire didn’t speak Latin, didn’t write, and didn’t produce the same litany of great works preserved by Christianity that were already in decline by the 2nd century A.D. long before the rise of Christianity. […]

Old HP was something special, people here might not be aware that they were a leading test equipment company back then not just a PC maker. That business was spun off as Agilent then spun off again as Keysight.

At a previous job we purchased a 3458a multimeter for some precision measurements. Its use cases are more limited now than in 1989 when it was introduced, but for high precision it's still the standard and the design is practically unchanged. They published a very in depth article on its ADC design at the time.

Top Reasons School Can Be Harmful for Mental Health
Just as a counterpoint: this very much depends. I probably spent at least a year (probably more) of my PhD (in Europe) just teaching a class I built up from the ground up myself. I barely got any research done the first year I gave that class, and every subsequent year it still took a large chunk of my time. It's part of the reason I spent a total of 7 years doing a PhD (which is long, considering I already had an MSc), during 5 of which I taught my class, and grew it from 10 students in the first year to 200 in my last. But I don't consider that time wasted. I had a blast and found that teaching helped me understand the fundamentals of my fields at an extremely deep level that I'd never reached otherwise. It didn't improve my research output, but I feel that the soft skills and understanding of fundamentals was a real advantage. My future career also didn't suffer, I'm now working as researcher at a FAANG AI lab.

It depends a lot on the GPT client (third-party application).

My app (BoltAI) does support web search (via Google Search) and web browsing (built-in) but not chat w/ PDF functionality.

I built another app[0] specifically for that use case.

So I guess if you need an all-in-one kind of functionality then ChatGPT could be a better choice.

Sophia Lang Weekly – 00
I remember in a solid state chemistry MOOC I took, from a professor who was a lithium battery researcher, the professor did mention in passing that we actually don't have a really good understanding of lithium batteries.

Of course he was talking about a much lower level than you need to understand when it comes to actually using them.

There are actually a lot of things we know how to deal with when it comes to engineering but have a poor grasp of the low level details. There was a great example in the Feynman Lectures where he says this about friction (Volume 1, section 12-2):

> It is quite difficult to do accurate quantitative experiments in friction, and the laws of friction are still not analyzed very well, in spite of the enormous engineering value of an accurate analysis. Although the law F=μN is fairly accurate once the surfaces are standardized, the reason for this form of the law is not really understood. To show that the coefficient μ is nearly independent of velocity requires some delicate experimentation, because the apparent friction is much reduced if the lower surface vibrates very fast. When the experiment is done at very high speed, care must be taken that the objects do not vibrate relative to one another, since apparent decreases of the friction at high speed are often due to vibrations. At any rate, this friction law is another of those semiempirical laws that are not thoroughly understood, and in view of all the work that has been done it is surprising that more understanding of this phenomenon has not come about. At the present time, in fact, it is impossible even to estimate the coefficient of friction between two substances.

That was written around 60 years ago. Anyone here happen to know if it still holds?
All righty
If you can't even get decent performance out of such so called "development machine", what is the point using it rather than just run qemu?

If it is not about performance, what is the point having multiple cores in the first place?

If the machine is so slow to the extent that you can be running 10x slower than an AMD server processor 2 generations behind, do you actual consider such environment to be realistic?

Everything is about performance.
Ah, so the limit would be per site or something like that. Thanks.
Seconded. On this, I think the book "A Mind for Numbers" by Barbara Oakley summed up the lessons when it comes to learning the best. The effort/struggle to learn a topic is a signal to the brain that this particular information is salient and worth remembering; like some sort of feedback/anchor. People more should reframe and be thinking on how should they approach a subject to make getting to "the click" and understanding faster (not necessarily easier).
Strictly speaking i don't think it was QuickBasic either (VB1 for DOS most likely was but IIRC there were minor language differences between the two), but in my message i didn't mean the exact product, just that it used an existing BASIC implementation they had with their take on making BASIC more Pascal-like. QBASIC is by far the most known implementation of that dialect.

(i just made a search and found an article about VB1's history and VB1 was indeed based on an existing BASIC engine they called "Embedded Basic")

TechCrunch has the same problem of never again referencing this perceived diversity issue. They don't make clear what kind of diversity, who perceives it as missing, or if the perceived lack of diversity matches reality.

The EU taxes profits, and economic growth results in increased employment and the tax revenue from taxing wages. This contributes to tax revenue and hence things like healthcare, social welfare, etc.

I don't necessarily agree with Singapore's approach, but Lee Kwan Yew made a speech that sums it up nicely...

"The opposition [in Parliament] say we're obsess with profit.
I said 'Of course! That's how Singapore survives!' What do you think pays for all this? [talking about public housing, healthcare, public education, etc] You make profit into a dirty word and Singapore dies."
I’m sure it depends greatly on subject, but my experience has been quite the opposite. If you do even a modicum of learning ‘outside the classroom’ many exam questions suddenly become a routine triviality. If you learn only what the lecturer intends you directly to learn, you end up at a point where the exam is optimally difficult.

Looking at textbooks and other universities’ lecture notes on your own is so effective it almost feels like cheating!
Wasn't this how Pandora worked?

"The user can use thumbs up and thumbs down buttons to declare whether they like a track or not, which determines whether similar songs should be played in the station.[40] A second thumbs down to the same artist will ban that artist from the selected station.[41] A thumbs down immediately skips a song, but the number of times a user can skip tracks is limited unless they are using one of the paid subscription plans, or opts to watch a video ad.[42][43] More than 450 musical attributes are considered when selecting the next song.[44] These 450 attributes are combined into larger groups called focus traits, of which there are 2,000.[45] Examples of these are rhythm syncopation, key tonality, and vocal harmonies.[45]"

> I'm even getting my cooking gas as 'prepaid' (i.e. I buy bottles) and I wish I could do the same with electricity and so on.

Gas and electricity do have small fixed components (“hookup fees”) but for the most part these aren’t strictly subscriptions since you pay for what you use.

> So I'm totally fine with getting a gift card or whatever you call those thingies in the supermarket where you can throw a lump (20€, 50€) at some provider (Google Play, whatever) and then get to eat up that amount (over the course of at least one year, hopefully).

So you are okay with subscriptions as long as they won’t charge you more than X? You might like privacy.com. They let you create credit cards with unique codes and defined spending limits. You don’t need to worry about cancelling anything since your billing just won’t go through after a certain amount is spent.
Talking to FAA controllers would dampen interest in these jobs. If everywhere is understaffed, the current staff has to overcome that.
Rotating shifts during the week is pretty hard on your body as well in an already stressful job. But supposedly they know their schedule a year in advance.

Is overtime mandatory or voluntary?
https://www.jetwhine.com/2008/02/atc-overtime-faa-controller...
Looks like a mix of both. Answer your phone, it’s mandatory.

I’ve talked to a few ATC people. One quit his job due to the stress. “The money was not worth it”. They were getting panic attacks and drinking to sleep as mentioned in the article.

There is also a pilot shortage and it takes a long time to get to being paid well after over $100k in training fees.
I’m not the biggest fan of electron generally speaking but I don’t agree with your argument that Electron is too slow to work as a terminal emulator. Yes speed matters, but not nearly as much as you claim. Commands are run as separate processes so as long as the terminal reads from its PTY fast enough not to block those processes, which in all bar a very few edge cases it will be, you’re not going to experience any difference in performance.

Besides, if you’re concerned about millisecond latency, then the issue you actually have is with multimedia content being rendered in the terminal rather than Electon itself. So no terminal emulator of this generation is going to meet your needs irrespective of what technologies it’s built from.

Edit: downvoted for stating a fact. Maybe I should have also stated that I’ve also been working on this exact problem. In fact I’ve already got a shell that provides the CLI parts and been playing around with different technologies to handle the multimedia parts of the terminal emulation. It’s a harder problem to solve than people hand wave away when they complain about electron (hence why I only have a shell available for public use at this stage).
No, that article goes on:

> "The cost of living, especially housing, has made it more challenging for middle-class professionals — especially people of color — to buy into the market, which hurts startups that have to compete with the Googles and Teslas for talent,” said Spearman, who is Black. “The monoculture speaks more to the income disparity that is pricing out musicians, artists and hospitality workers who are so essential to the creative culture that makes Austin a great market for startup founders in the first place"
The author is positive because of all the safety layers that existed and staid intact, despite how flawed humans and companies are. The culture of looking at previous accidents like the UA232, where they lost ann engine and ALL controls with it, meant the A380 control system was engineered to take even more damage and it worked.

I do agree though it did not spend enough effort focusing on the areas to improve:

- A computer controlled engine that runs for 60 seconds while on fire, and lets a dangerous part spin too fast. It seems like something that should of been covered ahead of time.

- An engine manufacturing process that is so complex it’s almost impossible to validate.

- A fault management system that only shows you 1 or 2 at a time when you have 40.

Just realized that the chip is probably backed by Alibaba, it uses the core built by Alibaba, that is the company behind most of those fake stuff sold online. Its founder openly challenged the financial system in China as he argued that his algorithm targets and profits from the poorest more efficiently than transitional banks!

Now everything can be explained. What you can expect from Alibaba?
Yes, I wonder the same. I'm not so much about porn but pretty much every conversation with a model gets abruptly cut off when it's just getting interesting. Every model I tried - mistral, codellama etc. - is terribly maimed in this respect.
As an observer from afar it seems like the US is sorting itself into different places with different core values, so presumably whichever group finds your values anathema to theirs likes it there.
