The article is quite vague. I assume they’re saying that a humidity difference drives a net flow of water vapor through their machine. So you seal one side and stick something hygroscopic in it as a big humidity sponge and expose the other side to the atmosphere. Then, about twice a day, you get a current if your climate has large diurnal humidity changes.

Ex Ubiquiti employee here. I barely recognize the company any more. The company always had problems but we had a lot of smart and hard working peopl in the early days. People are always amazed when I tell them how small the company was when we made Ubiquiti and UniFi into household names among nerds.

Some of those people remain. UI-Marcus in that link is a good person. The company went into a steady decline after the CEO started centering the company around the offices in Portland and China. Portland was home to the UX designers who wanted to redesign everything to look nicer but didn't understand how customers used our products. Portland was also home to Nick Sharp, the cloud lead who tried to extort the company and lied to the press about hacks. The favorite office in China made the FrontRow product, which failed so badly that I doubt anyone has heard of it. These people were supposed to be the future leaders of the company, but everything they did was a disaster. We could all see the writing on the wall and left. Well, almost everyone.

I don't even know which Ubiquiti office owns the cloud any more because everyone working on cloud at Ubiquiti either quit or was laid off after the cloud lead went to prison for extorting the company.

I hope the company can get back on track some day. It's sad to see all of our old work decay like this.
This is absolutely part of the problem.

> Lies of Our Times (LOOT) was a political magazine published between January 1990 and December 1994. The magazine was published on a monthly basis.[1] Ellen Ray was both its co-founder and publisher.[2] It served not only as a general media critic, but as a watchdog of The New York Times, which the magazine referred to as "the most cited news medium in the United Slates, our paper of record."[3]

Anecdotal, but I do feel this when reading documentation for commercial products. I start to wonder, often unconsciously, whether the documentation is outdated (so, following it may lead to an error), or there isn't a good cooperation between designers and documentation writers (and the possibility that those are different people/teams doesn't feel too well, either), or the UI changes very rapidly (so I can expect possibly unwanted changes once I learn something).
Nobody knows for sure, but there's lots of work on neural mechanisms purportedly mediated by synchronous oscillations. For example, look up the "communication through coherence" hypothesis by Pascal Fries; or Grossberg's "adaptive resonance theory".

> You have to memorize and demonstrate understanding of law, pass an obstacle course, meet marksmanship standards, pass a driving test under extreme conditions, and more. It's no joke. And they have to recertify on a lot of this yearly.

LOL, what? Police unions have consistently fought against recertification requirements, particularly the CPAT that police and fire use (candidate physical ability test).

"Demonstrate understanding of law" - police have claimed, and courts have consistently upheld that police do not need to know the law. They repeatedly arrest photographers in public places, and it ends up in appeal after appeal while they defend their abuse of 1A, and even after all that Chiefs will still stand on court steps saying "We can't expect our officers to be constitutional lawyers".

American police training is some of the lowest standard in the developed world. It takes more time to be certified as a hairdresser in most states.

Jpegli will lift traditional JPEG compression density by 25–30% and support 10+ bit HDR within the backward compatible 8 bit formalism. Jpegli is based on porting jpeg xl encoding strategies back to old jpeg. It is a whole new reimplementation, instead of tweaking old libs such as libjpeg, libjpeg-turbo or mozjpeg. Jpegli is API and ABI compatible with its usual alternatives like three mentioned before.

One possible explanation for this can be a mistake in caching. While it is tempting to log in and see if you can see other people's consoles... that just might put you in the cache for someone else to see.

> Yeah, the 28W number is a load consumption.

More specifically, it's the sustained power limit used as a target parameter for the processor's power management control loop. It's not a measurement of any specific workload, and doesn't take into account any part of the system outside the Intel chip; DRAM, display, storage, etc. are not included. And laptop OEMs have some leeway to tweak those power limits, and wide variation in their cooling systems so the achievable power draw within safe temperature limits can be quite different.
> think this is a combination of confusing wording and the eternal vagueness of what the term “consent” means in a world where everyone agrees to the terms and conditions of everything without reading

I think this is always the case. Unless the companies are forced to actually simplify and limit their TOS -or even divide it by features-. No one is realistically expected to read hundred of pages daily in legalize. I don't think many vendors do it our of necessity but as a workaround consent issue. This needs to be addressed by legislation that ban those practices.

This is very common. Happened at my old company. Your last 2 paragraphs are 1-1 the experience of many of my coworkers and I. Very, very sad.
They have a relatively small team when compared to Waymo, at least at the research/state-of-the-art level. Don't quote me on this but just look at the the difference between autopilot team size vs Waymo employees size who have a PhD in a related area. It'd at least 10x more ay Waymo, probably even more.

Hardware and HD maps makes a lot of difference too. Planning and decision making always becomes easier when you have a perfect estimate of the environment and good predictions of other agents behaviors. Intent matters a lot more than just recognition/detection in this setting.

To be fair I'd say Autopilot team is doing pretty good for the team of their size. They are no where close to Waymo, that's super clear, but if they focused all of their stack on making driver assistive tech rather than trying to push towards FSD they'd probably be better off.

Executive summary (all numbers from the 155H part): Arc GPU looks fantastic and market-leading (though more so on rendering than compute, which I guess is to be expected since they're pushing the AI unit for those workloads?). Multicore CPU benchmarks running about 20-40% above the M2 Mac tested and 10% above AMD's 7840U. Battery life tests (a benchmark category I personally hate since it conflates so many different things) seem to have reached parity with the AMD and Apple devices, which doesn't sound notable but this was a BIG shortcoming with ADL/RPL.

On the whole... this sounds big. If these numbers check out in further testing then all of a sudden Intel's back on top of the laptop game.
I'm not sure that makes it a trap, but no I would not trust anyone's view of the consequences of their own drug use. But the alternative is not to match their use against a number created by an uninvolved third party either. Probably a person's family and other close relations have the most useful perspective on their use and its effects.

I'm not a moralizing teetotaler or drug abolitionist here either. Recreational drug use is often fine, people can and in some cases maybe even should do it. But it should stop when the negative consequences reach a certain point, and it's probably impossible for an individual to have the perspective allowing them to see where they are relative to that point.
> and hedge against inflation is not one of them

BTC lost value through the great inflation and is only gaining value today now that inflation is down to 3%.

Sounds like a pretty bad hedge against inflation. People need to stop repeating this lie.

EDIT: If people need an inflation hedge, buy i-bonds first, and then TIPS after you max out. These are indexed against CPI, so the more inflation happens the more i-bonds/TIPS make.
Re: "Melanoma in adults is typically tied back to acute blistering sunburn events that happened before the age of 18 ..."

With the practical advice to counter this being gradual increase of sun exposure to allow your body to build a deep layer of protection (tan) - of which sun screen will prevent, and then if you miss any spots and get full blast of sun for hours all of a sudden then those will be points of vulnerability.

It's Not a Computer, It's a Companion
On my iPhone I have a wireguard VPN set up with "Allowed IPs" 10.200.200.0/24

When the VPN is on, the phone directs any traffic for 10.200.200.0/24 through the VPN and the rest of the traffic through the normal network stack. This is often called split vpn or split tunnel.

The other end of the VPN needs to be running wireguard and accessible from the internet. I have a VPS for this because my desktop is behind a firewall. But I can connect from my desktop to the VPS over wireguard (same setup) with keepalive, and they can all talk to each other over that private network.

I don't usually have this on, but occasionally if I want to ssh back home from my kid's soccer practice, I'll use it. I ssh to the 10-net address for my laptop after bringing up the split vpn.
But that’s not the point is it?

Apple is getting amazing performance at far lower power consumption.

People have been waiting for Intel’s response. If they flub this and it isn’t good enough, that’s a huge tell of weakness. AMD, Qualcomm, and everyone else will be chomping at the bit to take advantage.

Even if the others can’t beat Intel in performance per watt, performance per dollar may sway things.
AI scientists make 'exciting' discovery using chatbots to solve maths problems
As someone who once had an NYT subscription (no longer) and now has an Economist subscription, I totally agree with the sentiment. The Economist absolutely has an angle, but it comes across with much more explanation of the objective facts around a given situation, akin to a 3rd party observer explaining an issue and their opinion of it. In contrast, the NYT is quite patronizing, with half-assed attempts to explain "both sides," but you always know what the "right side" is.

Edit: I think this quote from the article summarizes the NYT shift:

> Focusing on potential perpetrators – “platforming” them by explaining rather than judging their views – is believed to empower them to do more harm.

> Trying to be helpful, one of the top newsroom editors urged me to start attaching trigger warnings to pieces by conservatives. It had not occurred to him how this would stigmatise certain colleagues, or what it would say to the world about the Times’s own bias.

> I came to think of the people who were fragile, the ones who were caught up in Slack or Twitter storms, as people who had only recently discovered that they were white and were still getting over the shock. Having concluded they had got ahead by working hard, it has been a revelation to them that their skin colour was not just part of the wallpaper of American life, but a source of power, protection and advancement.

> At one point, Baquet, musing about how the Times was changing, observed that one of the newsroom’s cultural critics had become the paper’s best political-opinion columnist. Taking this musing one step further, I then noted that this raised an obvious question: why did the paper still have an Opinion department separate from the newsroom, with its own editor reporting directly to the publisher? If the newsroom was publishing the best opinion journalism at the paper – if it was publishing opinion at all – why did the Times maintain a separate department that falsely claimed to have a monopoly on such journalism?

> The Opinion department is a relic of the era when the Times enforced a line between news and opinion journalism.... by the time I returned as editorial-page editor, more opinion columnists and critics were writing for the newsroom than for Opinion.

> The Times could learn something from the Wall Street Journal, which has kept its journalistic poise. It has maintained a stricter separation between its news and opinion journalism...Journal reporters and other staff attempted a similar assault on their opinion department. “Their anxieties aren’t our responsibility,” shrugged the Journal’s editorial board in a note to readers after the letter was leaked. “The signers report to the news editors or other parts of the business.” The editorial added, in case anyone missed the point, “We are not the New York Times.” That was the end of it.
