Riot Games recently announced that Vanguard, their kernel-level anticheat, is going to be required to play League of Legends soon. There was a considerable Linux community for League at r/leagueoflinux, and they are obviously upset. But regular users are also rightfully upset and stated their intent to give up league if this goes through.

Vanguard must be launched during boot, and has to remain running 24/7 in order to launch and play the games. Not to mention that Riot Games was bought by Tencent... TikTok mass surveillance spyware was bad enough. Fat chance I would ever let the CCP pwn my personal rig with 24/7 running kernel-level malware/spyware that can never be validated because it's obviously closed-source.
I learned in college that the limiting factor in turbine efficiency is how high the turbine temp can go before it fails. Engine designers get better and better at finding ways to get the temp up. Jet engine turbine blades are really miracles of design and metallurgy.

The same improvements are being made to electric utility turbines.

1971: Will the Last Person Leaving SEATTLE — Turn Out the Lights

I’d argue the 757, 767 and 737 Classic (i.e. -300 to -500), all of which much more 80s than 70s were much more glorious.

And the 90s brought us the 737NG and 777 which continue to carry more than everything else today and for that matter anything else ever, other than maybe the A320ceo.
- make more kid-accessible low-code app development environments

- train hackable LLMs on a corpus targeted for younger audiences

- offer built in “escape codes” to the lower levels of gaming systems like the playdate

- offer social networking sites meant to be customized/hacked on (eg myspace)

/edit
These are ideas for how to bring tinker-ability to where kids are. But I don’t think I can say with confidence what is going to make a great explorative environment for the next generation. Bringing as much useful tech into the right places in kids’ lives, wherever they are and whatever background they have, is going to be the right start though.
Foundational models are designed to be universally applicable, covering a wide range of use cases. While it's relatively easy to tailor smaller models to specific scenarios through overfitting, when a model is overly specialized, it loses its broad applicability and ceases to be a foundational model.
Use qemu and share a drive or put it on network, this should work.
Performance of x86 on arm isn't fantastic but more than enough for that.
If they're homeless, they aren't 'paying' into a single payer system, regardless of it being at the State or Federal level. People that pay little to no taxes 'mooching' off the taxpayer funded services is exactly the concern of many that oppose universal healthcare.

Considering many large companies self-insure their employees' healthcare, it seems unlikely that simply expanding the scope of who is covered is going to make the whole plan work.
then why is it all the rage?
The heart of the problem is that people hiring for software engineering roles think hiring is all about "what you know". It isn't. To hire a good candidate, hire for "who you are" and "who you can become". You want to hire learners not "experts" (read: someone versed in the methods that are about to be obsolete). Hiring is always more about adaptability and soft skills, no matter what role you're hiring for except in very specific, usually time-bound circumstances. This is why true specialists are either on contract or are consultants. Most of the tech industry does hiring completely wrong because, as usual, most software engineers are hyper literal, narrow minded, and lack the social insight required to be effective on a fundamentally social problem.
Creator must just not be a musician. For a composer, for a pianist, for a violinist, for a singer... etc D# and Eb are distinct things. There are extraordinarily few contexts in music history where their difference is irrelevant, such as some Schoenberg pieces but for literally anything else even for 99% of atonal pieces the difference has some kind of relevance to musicians.
It's worth looking into.

I also had only a few switches and the trade off was I could now dim them, at different times and different ways.

Tied it in with a Logitech Harmony Hub at the time for instant movie mode. I got a lot of use out of that little hub to not have to go full home automation.

Home Assistant is great though, it's much easier now, it will know you're coming via app and turn off everything. You can do the good night thing too.
No point in staying on a sinking ship.
Am I missing something critical here?

Why would people want to send payments over Twitter (I understand it's X, but I'm using Twitter to emphasize that the product is still, exclusively, a microblogging platform with some audio features).

Is it to donate to personalities? I can see that use-case, but whenever I see these kinds of headlines it seems the vision to create an "everything app" means that "peer-to-peer" payments means adding something like Venmo or Cashapp. Do people add their IRL friends on Twitter? If so, why would they use Twitter for that sort of thing as opposed to Venmo or Cashapp?

I'm genuinely curious, but to me it seems like it's a play to get hordes of cash flowing into the platform so that X can rake in interest on it for use in their own debt payments.
How is this peer-to-peer? It sounds like a centralized payment middleman. Am I reading it wrong?
and what is int in Linux?
If you return with <80%, what happens? Do they charge a flat fee or by the kWh? Most cars will taper charging speeds as you approach 80, 90 %. And then you have to drive from the charger to the car rental place. Hmm.
If my company allows me to work from anywhere in the US I'll be completely willing to give up any future promotion. My current level and compensation allows me to live a happy life now, probably even better if I moved to a place with lower cost of living. Sounds fair to me. (If things get worse, I'll find another job.)
It's what it says on the tin, guy with too much money and like all of us, secretly wants to build The platform, is trying to build The platform.
We use the hue lights as night lights, and have them turn red, then off on a schedule. I have to turn them on and off again to reset them to white but my 6 year old knows how to do it, so that feels simple enough to me.
It's very worth motorized blinds especially if you have a lot of windows.

Every setting you do manually throughout a day or season can be automated.

Tie it in with movie mode to close everything, etc.

Luvolite and their rebranded partners is a decent bang for the buck: https://www.louvolite.com/

I hear Ikea is worth looking at too.
I'm amazed that people are afraid of a home assistant in their living room, yet carry a cloud connected microphone+camera around with them all the time (with the added feature of sending GPS tracking data back to the manufacturer, carrier, and apps that you granted location permission to, like a weather app).

If you trust that your phone isn't listening when it's not supposed to, why don't you trust the home assistant (even if it's made by the same manufacturer)?

> Bloom’s research has found that fully remote workers are more productive than their fully on-site peers, but because remote workers miss out on casual in-person conversations around the office, relationships suffer, and their promotion prospects tend to take a hit.

I started remotely and then transitioned to hybrid, and I can definitely relate to this. I have casual conversations with many colleagues on other teams who used to simply be a name on my screen, or someone that I would never talk to ever since our workflow paths never crossed. However, I do know folks who are still fully remote and still receiving proper recognition, so it definitely varies company to company.
That's literally the opposite of peer to peer
How does the blending work? I'm imagining installing a bunch of "AIs" and having them all work together intelligently.
Sometimes a not so perfect option is better than no other option.
I started out programming by hacking games to do what i wanted and sometimes tinkering with hex codes.

This article is very true, we have indeed lost the ability to do "naughty" things because everything has been made "safe" (illusion) but my gripe is even not that.

My gripe, the one I keep ranting about, is that the users themselves have become tamer.

They have believed that the way "Google" tells you to do things is the "right" way and you should always do only what the application suggests you to do.

Whereas I grew up in the early 2000s with a purely hacking and fun ideology for computing. Make bizarre graphics because something extra was deleted, talk to people who were into this and just have countless hours or fun tinkering.
drgn looks very neat. Has anyone here used it?
Offline first is the only way to go.

The cloud is always someone else's computer, and any free service will likely end before your hardware needs changing.

Lutron switches are great too, I have them. I am not a super fan that you have to seem to have to buy their pro hub to get telnet access to the lutron switches and also not use the cloud.
(Not the parent poster) I have Phillips Hue lights and they can turn onto a dim setting without a bright flash. They also can fail-normal if you change the default settings.

They've added a popup to the app recently saying that soon Hue will require an account to work though, so I don't recommend them anymore. I've been meaning to move them to a separate offline network before they force update them to require an account. I originally purchased them because of how well they functioned locally without needing any Phillips cloud stuff. But sometimes I still use the official app instead of my homebrew setup.

If you own your own home, smart switches with dumb dimming capable lights are the way to go IMO. I'm still renting though.
It's like enterprise software - the product and sales managers are just giving the high-paying customers what they demand. And it works for sales. It does not result in a good design though.

(Of course, I'm an engineer ... I don't know how to sell a good design to big pockets, I just know why the technical design sucks ...)
Ah, thanks for the correction on that. Maybe plenty of folks are happy with HomePods for their hub but all the complaints I read are also folks using HomePods. It's hard to know whether they have spotty WiFi or if HomePods are just inherently less reliable hubs.

I will say that having my wired AppleTV act as a hub, I've had no trouble at all. I have maybe 50 accessories and a bunch of automations, some fairly complex. e.g. my garage door automatically opens for me as I near my home as long as my iPhone is in CarPlay mode.
QEMU (with UTM if you need an UI to create the VM) can do that.

A word of warning, FPGA tools are extremely cpu intensive (and often poorly optimized) so you are not going to be happy compared to your colleagues running on native x86.
>not a single person within a large team exhibited any kind of moral responsibility or something that looked like a conscience.

That's not true.

>Richard Roll is the real life Fujitsu whisteblower behind the character in Mr Bates vs The Post Office who lifted the lid on the faulty computer system.
The thing that is unique to the US is the level of corruption. Politicians are 100% beholden to corporate interests and nothing else. America’s dominance is entirely reliant on industry, so nothing can be done to upset the big corps.
What about Alan Dershowitz?
Interesting. I wonder if we'll get to the point where the climb-the-greasy-pole career types will be in the office 60 hours a week, while the folks who actually get shit done will be WFH for 30 hours a week (because that's all they need to actually get the shit done).
but you have to accumulate those little boosts to eventually reach C or D level where the compensation reaches a whole new level. This is like saying it aint worth studying because you still won't be employable by the end of the school year
This of course hasn't been true for years, eg: http://omz-software.com/pythonista/index.html

And you can run a C compiler (or anything) inside https://ish.app/ too.

But usually, when we want to build The Platform, it at least has some unique utility or offering that would solve a real problem.

But I guess that's just not the case here.
Ultimately, it's about pay. This covers some of the history:

https://www.kqed.org/news/11902591/why-do-so-many-doctors-op...

That people believe healthcare providers, where the vast majority of the $4.5 trillion in healthcare spending ultimately goes, are just barely getting by and that they're being robbed by insurance companies (~5% of spending) should be ample evidence of how powerful they are.

Never mind that private insurance reimbursement rates are higher than Medicare's and even Medicare's rates are double that of every other advanced developed country.
> But MCAS was not a “software problem”.

Yeah, it was. And so was the fix.

There was also a pilot training issue, in that of the 3 crews that experience MCAS failure, only one of them thought to turn off the trim system (and landed safely).
It's an election year. Anything to make the President look bad.

Of course it's always an election year, here in the permanent election cycle. This is nominally about American manufacturing, but there is not a single person on Capitol Hill who can actually say that with a straight face. Nobody on either side of the aisle gave an instant's though to transportation, manufacturing, or the climate. It's entirely about winning the next election so that... so that they can continue to not care about any of those things.

I suppose we could sit down here and discuss the merits of American made chargers and the coming changes in infrastructure. But I don't think anyone has any real facts about it, or that anyone would care if they did.
Open-source NVR Frigate uses Coral TPU on RPi for security camera monitoring, https://docs.frigate.video/

> Local NVR designed for Home Assistant with AI object detection. Uses OpenCV and Tensorflow to perform realtime object detection locally for IP cameras. Use of a Google Coral Accelerator is optional, but strongly recommended. CPU detection should only be used for testing purposes. The Coral will outperform even the best CPUs and can process 100+ FPS with very little overhead.
> In the US many airlines have shifted to single-aisle "mid-sized" planes for domestic routes due to deregulation around direct service - instead airlines can use a hub-and-spoke model with several connecting flights as opposed to only providing direct routes with enough demand to fill a plane

I think this is no longer strictly true. In the early days of deregulation, yes, absolutely, airlines went to a hub-and-spoke model and eliminated a bunch of their direct routes.

But it turns out that customers don't actually like this, and they'll leave for a different airline that has the direct (or at least more-direct) routes they want.

So I believe it's sorta in the middle now: sure, airlines have hubs, and they don't do quite as many direct routes as they used to. But it's also common for there to be direct flights between airports that aren't what you might call hubs.

(Note that the article you linked to in support of this point is from 2001; a lot has changed over the past 23 years.)
This is very true.

Our place came with an Ecobee thermometer. I threw it up on Homekit and my partner had it on their watch and phone instantly. Too easy.
Nah. Letting the McDonnel execs take over Boeing after being swallowed by Boeing is what did the trick.

First - Cultural differences are almost certainly at play here if you're not American. My only exposure to non-American workplace culture is a single German friend, and familiarity with how Linus Torvalds operates. Suffice it to say, cutting across someone to say "bullshit" would be considered "heated" in most American tech workplaces, no matter how calm your tone of voice and body language is. I'm struggling to find a way to say this without sparking a discussion I definitely don't want, but this kind of goes hand in hand with all the inclusion and sensitivity training that was very popular in American corporations until very recently. You can't really emphasize the importance of always being kind and inclusive and butterflies and rainbows without creating a culture that's a bit more sensitive about people acting in any way pissed off.

Second - I'm not sure I'd call the choice of call participants a "power move", just standard American hyper-legally-conscious practice. Surprise layoffs or pip firings are usually done with an HRBP you've probably never met before leading the call. Sometimes the manager may be there but frequently they won't talk much or at all.

Third - Not necessarily. The others may have been struggling to close sales as well. The only things I know about this whole thing come from reading the text in the OP and watching the tiktok video so I could easily be missing it, but is there any evidence that this is anything other than letting go of sales people who aren't performing? I think this is extremely common in sales, it's pretty cutthroat. You close deals or you don't, and companies are always asking "what have you done for me lately?"
Hmm, I'm confused. Those are all good ideas, but they all seem to be tinkerable?

Extrapolating it seems like what you're suggesting is making spaces where people can tinker socially rather than making tinkerability ubiquitous and trusting nerds like us to figure it out for themselves? Thus opening up the space to people we might not traditionally imagine as becoming software engineers?

The one I built was not unlike this one:

https://chestofbooks.com/crafts/popular-mechanics/Things-To-...

Not too difficult to build.

Two holes in a horizontal board - drop dowels into each one to act as pendulums. The pivot mechanism for each pendulum was one of those trapezoidal box cutter blades. (In the above illustration I suspect they are nails protruding through a cross-piece.)

Weights are anything you can find. As long as you can move them up and down the dowels to change the period of the pendulums.

A clipboard screwed and glued to the end of one pendulum. The other pendulum has a hinge with the arm holding a pen.
Correct, this isn't an eval it is "stack ranking" which was made famous by GE. Some companies still do it. But not most.
You'd be surprised how much time you can actually save yourself and get back for living towards other things by automating the right few things for yourself.

One of the reasons why I love open source software is that I can maintain personal patches. I'll upstream changes when it makes sense to do so, but mostly, I keep local branches.

Some of these tweaks are simple. Others are significant rewrites. But, the point is that I can approach computing on my own terms, and that's pretty neat.
The best talent is often the highest paid and that gets factored into these decisions as well when the company is trying to hit specific budget targets.

And this is the sort of thing that can be especially problematic in creative companies when the layoffs are being run by bean-counting executives who have no presence in the day to day work of ICs.

Will top talent get sacked at Pixar? I have no idea, but as a 50 year old tech worker I've seen a number of layoffs first-hand and have heard anecdotal reports of dozens more that lead me to the conclusion that being among the "top talent" does not make you immune when it comes to large belt-tightening layoffs.
It's funny that they're using peer-to-peer to literally mean sending payments from one person to another, rather than it being the technical definition.

I wonder if it's a marketing gimmick to make people think it's more libertarian/secure/private than it actually is.
The question is what do we do about it? It sounds like you’re suggesting we can vote our issues away, but the voting and primary system is also corrupt.

The only way forward is to leverage our economic power (by forming unions or organizing a general strike). That’s the leverage we have against power, but ultimately a lot of what that looks like is lying down and doing nothing.
kind of goes against the principles for existing.
Nice. Yeah, I was thinking as a rapid prototyping tool. There's a big gulf between Figma and something like a Godot prototype. The former can give you high fidelity in look, but not in feel (interaction).

I don’t know which of you is right, but I think you’re saying different things. They’re saying positions that are actually open right now are paying less, and you’re saying salaries for existing employees are flat. They could be right if the positions which are open are only recruiting those with lower salary expectations.
It sure can fail but running on a clean agent each time reduces the "Well, it works on my machine" scenarios you can run into.

For example:

The last run didn't clean up, or changed something global.

New runs don't work because some expected state is missing that had been set up on a previous run.

Blowing the agent away each time reduces the chance that something previously run can impact your current run.

This is at the cost of pulling from networks each time. You can reduce those issues by adding network caches for modules/dependencies.

As bad as Google's vision and long-term strategy, from what can see today I'll bet on Chromecast rather than whatever Amazon brings to the table. Chromecast is in many hotels and easily usable from almost any video/audio Android app, and a new product is unlikely to change that any time soon. Well, if they do make it interoperable with Chromecast and AirPlay, I'll take another look.
It’s worse.
Maybe it should thought of as production-adjacent...
I love it. This could be specific to the work I'm doing though. I'm doing workflows. For each workflow I have a lambda endpoint for the REST call and then run a container that does all of it, we use a little SQS, Lambda, and Dynamo here and there, but it's just a process that runs for a while and dies.

If I was doing this on a server I would have to use some kind of distributed task runner, scale-up servers etc.. With Faregate I don't even see the servers come up and down, it's just a magic box of runtimes.

Yep I can confirm this works quite well since it's what I used for over a decade until I got a new car a couple years ago. Bluetooth can be annoyingly flaky in many cars but plugging in a cable literally just works. My old sound system and traditional controls worked great and I have considered replacing the more modern system that came with my current car with something more like the old one.
