the answer is no, I was reading the linked documents and:

1. yes UVC of that frequency kill virus but they don't provide results about human safety, the say "potentially":
"Germicidal ultraviolet light, typically at 254 nm, is effective in this context but, used directly, can be a health hazard to skin and eyes. By contrast, far-UVC light (207–222 nm) efficiently kills pathogens potentially without harm to exposed human tissues."

2. A study on rats is linked, but it doesn't prove the human safety;

3. The author of the study is economically interested to exploit commercially that sterilisation technique. further reason to wait for serious verifications:
“The authors declare the following pending patent: Patent Title: “Apparatus, method and system for selectively affecting and/or killing a virus”. Applicant: The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. Inventors: Gerhard Randers-Pehrson, David Jonathan Brenner, Alan Bigelow. Application #: US20180169279A1. Aspect of manuscript covered in patent application: Use of filtered 222 nm UV light to kill viruses URL: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20180169279A1/en?oq=2020...
“D.J.B has a granted patent entitled ‘Apparatus, method and system for selectively affecting and/or killing a virus’ (US10780189B2), that relates to the use of filtered 222 nm UV light to inactivate viruses. In addition, D.J.B has an ongoing non-financial collaboration with Eden Park Illumination, and the authors’ institution, Columbia University, has licensed aspects of UV light technology to USHIO Inc.”

4. Invisible light is dangerous, you can injury your eyes, without realizing it and, devices from unreliable resellers could hide more serious risks.
Nothing nonsensical about developers wanting better treatment or a better deal from a company asking for 30% of their gross margin.

Does anyone have the link to the study? I'm tired of news articles referencing and summarizing their interpretation of a study, without giving me the option to validate the claims made.
Couldn't agree more. 30+ years of experience here. 10% of developers do 90% of the work. 10% of developers are so bad that productivity for the team would improve if you fired them.
Whatever platform/engine(s) you end up trying, you both might enjoy looking through the game assets that Kenney shares with the world for free:

* https://kenney.nl/assets

* https://kenney.nl/starter-kits

The asset range includes 2D & 3D and in a variety of graphical fidelity/style from 1-bit to low-poly--including sets which are designed to work together.

The "Starter Kits" are a more recent development which aim to get you something working out of the box with Godot which you can then customise: https://github.com/KenneyNL/Starter-Kit-3D-Platformer

I'm pretty sure you'll find both cars and zombies to start with... :)

Ok, so what are the features missing from those OSes that iOS has that enable these anti-cheat capabilities and also that are also not dependent on Apple maintaining its strict control over what can and can't run on iOS?
Yes, high refractive index lenses. -9 and -11 sound like actually good reasons to recommend them, at these levels of myopia lower index glasses should be noticeably heavier.

What I couldn't tolerate was specifically chromatic aberration. Every letter in this text box would have a yellow and blue fringe if my head was turned even slightly. And this would happen with every high-contrast border, like someone's t-shirt, a white car or a house against the sky.

TBF, I think the balance shifts when you're at home.

At the office, websurfing/shopping wold have felt like a complete waste of time, where doing the laundry or cleaning my room is definitely not. Emotionally some of the home chores will feel more meaningful than many bullshit tasks we do.

This was one of the prime reasons I switched job, even as the pay was mostly the same. Doing a job that feels meaningful in itself is I think more precious than ever.
I didn't comment on the categories of “dominant player” or “duopoly" ?

If you want to make a point about this instead, related topics, which companies fall into these buckets, etc., that's fine. But there's no need to disguise it.
>Professionals who use their hands a lot, like mechanics or surgeons, have shown interest in the device. The company has also talked with astronauts who would like to try it out at the International Space Station.

I'd be that guy using it public transit during winter because I don't want to take my gloves off.

I remember "mentally designing" something like this when I was a teen. I had a weird mouth guard with a flat surface that covered back of upper and lower teeth that I would glide my tongue on, pretending to be a cursor, and then click on my canine tips together for left and right click because I thought that would be more precise. Now I occasionally think about eye tracking to move cursor and teeth clicking to tap.

I'm running the last(?) Intel MBP from 2019 for rust and web development and haven't found any reason to upgrade.

Interesting observation: my remote junior colleague has a M2 Pro MBP with more memory than me. We're running the same OSX and node versions. Spinning up a development environment in a project using vite and a Java DB process running inside docker is about 3x faster on my old Intel than on their M2 Pro. The problem isn't anything trivial, and I'm struggling to help them figure it out over Zoom.

Not saying it isn't fixable, but I suspect there are still ARM potholes you trip on.
I’m deeply sorry that this happened to you both and, for whatever it’s worth to you, I’ll pray for you and your son today.

I couldn’t and wouldn’t pretend to understand what you’re going through - I’m just a stranger on the Internet that hopes that with time your struggles ease and you’re able to find a way forward.

God bless you both.
>and it is only really a fear because they will vote for the democrat team.

The Republican voting base doesn't hate immigrants because they're Democrats.
Amongst the numerous reasons why (B) may not be preferred is governments in looking at macroeconomics will generally want to disincentivise buying services overseas, something which would reduce domestic GDP and strengthen the economies of other countries instead. Governments have tools such as security regulations, migration policies, taxes which act as those disincentives.

For (B) to become commonplace, a government would be allowing a job function or industry to decline or disappear domestically, as has happened to Western manufacturing. I can't think of many industries and job functions suitable for remote work that a country in 2024 would want to cause the decline of. Western countries in particular have been pushing "critical infrastructure" regulations and supply chain regulations that generally oppose offshoring and domestic decline of a wide range of industries--energy, healthcare, food distribution, etc. For example, a supermarket chain is becoming increasingly restricted from conducting actions such as outsourcing their logistics ICT systems to another country to host and support.
no, having to implement the rule where a click from the app lingers and changes the pricing logic for the website, I am relating to that as a form of contamination. The old rules may have been less permissive, but at least they were walled-off.
Building a startup is full of uninteresting work. Same for games and any other field. Everything has its boring parts.

> In most companies option B has been on the table for a very long time

Mom and Pop may have always been well positioned to fully embrace outsourcing, but they tend to just copy what they see big companies do without any thought. Additionally, where they do put in thought, they tend to lean “shop local” and see offshoring as a threat to their entire business.

As for those big companies, truly embracing option B has been difficult as even the C-level are typically themselves just employees, not the controlling ownership, and thus don't want to see their jobs outsourced any more than anyone else. Once the boots on the ground are offshored, you may as well offshore the management of them too. Thus there is a strong incentive for management to keep up onshore appearances and limit offshoring to small doses.
Fast transformers via sketches for polynomial kernels
"...
we show that sketches for Polynomial Kernel from the randomized numerical linear algebra literature can be used to approximate the polynomial attention which leads to a significantly faster attention mechanism without assuming any sparse structure for the attention matrix that has been done in many previous works.
...
we propose an efficient block-based algorithm that lets us apply the causal mask to the attention matrix without explicitly realizing the n×n attention matrix and compute the output of the polynomial attention mechanism in time linear in the context length.

Turns out that they were a good fit for the kind of rasterization loops that you find in Quake and Doom. E.g. https://gitlab.com/mbitsnbites/mc1-quake/-/blob/feature/port...

They were also really simple to implement in hardware (basically just a small counter that iterates over vector elements while stalling the CPU frontend).

I have not yet scaled up the parallelism internally (by adding more execution units), but I still see performance benefits (less loop logic & branch overhead, less scalar register pressure, less I$ pressure).

here's a salient example https://old.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/comments/15u8wuv/tesla_re...
Before Target moved to ten items only for self checkout I used to take my cart full of every imaginable aisle from the store and check out. However I would constantly see people not ringing up higher priced items at self checkout or just push their cart through when it’s busy and make it look like they paid.

Talking to one of the store staff they said they were losing too much at self checkout. They dropped it to ten items and forced eleven plus items to the registers. Hire a few older people at minimum wage to slowly scan your items and get you on your way. That initial month they went to ten items was around the holidays and all the new register people were sooooooo slow. It was painful. They just didn’t know what they were doing. Seemed like they were thrown to the registers to make it work.

This is not true.
The point AIUI is that it can be whatever we want to define it to be. There is no objective answer to AI vs copyright. Hell, we could invent copyright v2 which applies to AI on days divisible by 4 and v3 on all other days, but only if someone named Bob in Texas wears a beret.

Therefore, people talking about morals or ethics or creativity or human inspiration or whatever are wasting their time on a false premise.
> Even when I do play a podcast that I have downloaded, I often skip the advertisements because it is so easy to hit the fast-forward-30-seconds button a few times.

The best thing is that ad segments are _always_ multiples of 30 seconds, so it's really easy to skip them :D

Overcast even has a "skip intro" option for podcasts that have a regular ad of the same length in the beginning every time.
Besides being written in rust, how does this differ from other Postgres operators (cloudnativepg, zalando, …)?

The state of building user interfaces in Rust
Yes. I used an x200 which was unfortunately damaged. I tried to repair it but it didn't recover. I bought an x230 off ebay. It was a factory demo piece which was refurbished. I did that in 2014 and did so because Ineeded one urgently. I replaced it about a month ago with an X1 carbon. The battery is shot and it overheats when I run too much on it. However, for day to day stuff, it's superb. Runs Debian and chugs away without many problems.
https://github.com/remy/inliner does most of this.
Telling victims of trauma that they are "allowing something external to defeat you daily" comes perilously close to blaming the victim, doesn't it?
I've recently become a father to a son as well, and it's so difficult to imagine the magnitude of loss. We've already poured so much love into him and received so much, the thought of losing him is beyond heartbreaking. Then multiply that by 7 years and...like you said, unfathomable.

Your approach to the situation is inspiring. I honestly don't know what we'd do in this situation, but I like to think we'd find a way to continue loving him even with the understanding he'll never come back.

On a much smaller scale, I have an orchid plant my wife gave me, and the bloom from the store quickly died out. I've kept watering it every week, for the past 3 years. It's bloomed once since, interestingly enough when my wife & I agreed to get married, but since then nothing. My wife has asked me a few times why I don't throw it away, but at this point it's a part of us, until it naturally expires.
That isn't a literal translation. That's a translation of an unrelated word.

There's a Chinese in-joke, though, where they like to say "day day up", translating 天天 "every day" as if it were just 天 "day" twice in sequence.
I think this case represents a fundamental problem of early stage digital technologies in a civilization timescale. We are used to records painstakingly kept by thousands of hands representing a reality the State acts upon. We transferred the trust built over thousands of years of honing such systems over to highly automated digital representations produced by what amounts to hugely complex black box systems.

We see instances of this problem every day where some 'helpless' clerk stonewalls us saying "the system says". We've automated and turbocharged what was already a Kafkaesque system - only now there is no one on top of what gets into the records. Just some inscrutable pile of code that might have been produced by someone thousands of miles away with no clue of the realities they engender.
GameMaker is ideal, or at least something easier. He’s 9 after all, Unity would be way too advanced.

Something super simple like Frogger. Jump movements might be too advanced.
>> How do you do annotation?

> Same as PDF - if you want that, get an app that has that feature.

In PDFs, annotation is a well-established part of the specification. I know my annotations on whatever app I use today will be fully functional in any app, on any colleagues or my computers, decades into the future. I could send you an annotated PDF document now and you could read it, annotate it yourself, and send it back.

>> And how do you know you can read the document decades into the future?

> Same as PDF, except that HTML is a simpler format.

PDF's spec prioritizes long-term preservation (or whatever term they use), especially in PDF/A format. HTML does not.

>> Also, for longer texts, isn't it harder to read without the high-quality readability enhancements, such as typefaces, layouts, etc.?

> HTML has all these things? (With CSS, I mean.)

PDFs look much better to me than HTML. I don't think HTML capabilities are on the same level, but I don't know the technical underpinnings of layout well enough to specify why. I know precise layout in HTML can be a challenge.

It was never about productivity. It was about power and control. And commercial real estate investments.
I think it's a culmination of things:

- Like you said: once work leaves the office, there is no reason for the work to remain in the USA or Europe. I witnessed this at a company I was working at in 2019-2021. I was managing a small team, my team and others were drowning, the workload was so absurd we had several people quit over the span of a couple of months (making the problem even worse!) I finally got a 1-1 with a VP asking what the hell we were going to do about the situation. They told me, in confidence that they'd just let most of the developers quit on their own and start outsourcing all the projects to a company in another country (I want to say somewhere in South America.) They had been in talks with this company for months...

- Ghost jobs. The company I work for has a couple of jobs on their careers page that I know with certainty we're not actually hiring for. I looked at my old company, and same thing there (still have friends that work there and know they're not hiring for those roles.)

- Tons of people seeing the salary of folks in tech and pivoting into it (and a fair amount of them are just not well suited for it.) Software, Networking, Infrastructure, etc just aren't for everyone. Just like how cutting open a human on an operating table is not for me! We've all worked with that one person that just couldn't code themselves out of a wet paper bag and they've all tried to hop on the hot tech bandwagon when everything went remote due to COVID.

- Years (decades?) of VC backed companies that have hemorrhaged money since exception and gasp actually need to make a profit, and can't are going belly up.

- AI, hype or not definitely having an impact and mixing things up. Maybe not entirely in tech but I see AI generated artwork everywhere I look now.

- We thought it would be a good idea to shutdown the country (due to covid), but then had to print and pump money into the economy to get it started again, now we're paying the price for it.

- The R&D tax credit going away.
I feel like that’s literally my worst nightmare.

So I’m going to feel sad for a bit, give you my best wishes, and then try as hard as possible to forget I ever read this and to purge the idea that it could ever happen to me.

The judge literally suggested Apple could do this in her ruling:

"Even in the absence of IAP, Apple could still charge a commission on developers. It would simply be more difficult for Apple to collect that commission."

"The Court presumes that in such circumstances that Apple may rely on imposing and utilizing a contractual right to audit developers annual accounting to ensure compliance with its commissions, among other methods."
This is my biggest fear, I wish I could be ignorant about how fragile our existence really is. How one moment, one mistake can change things forever.
