Miele's new Dialog oven is technically a combi microwave/convection/steam oven (similar to what Starbucks heats up your food in), but uses longer wavelength radiation than a standard microwave. Longer wavelengths can penetrate food more deeply.

It's called RF solid state cooking. It uses radio frequency as a heat source. It allows for much higher precision (compared to traditional speed cooking methods that combine microwave technology and traditional oven elements) due to the RF signals providing a feedback loop. They respond back and help the oven understand and target specific zones within the cooking cavity.

Hence the name: “Dialog”

By regulating the oven’s heat in one place, you can cook the fish while the ice stays frozen. Another such example is making cooked and raw salmon at the same time, by focusing the oven’s action at specific areas of the salmon
Wondering the same thing. Is this a culinary technique, or just a way to show off some novel directed energy cooking technology?
$9k isn't too bad for a high end oven tbh.
I refer to Fundamentals of Queueing Theory by Gross, Shortle, Thompson & Harris.

Although Wikipedia is enough. As far as insights go the topic is relatively simple, it is just bad practice to be re-deriving the first 100 pages of an intro-to-queueing textbook in an emergency.

80% of the time it is enough to assume the process is an M/M/1 queue or consider how the queue would perform relative to an M/M/1 queue. M/M/1 queues are the analog to fitting a straight line, simple & technically incorrect. It is good to move through that part of the day without thinking.

It totally depends on the investors. In the given example of raising at 3m and selling at 10, a lot of investors would call that a failure and push instead to raise more for a bigger eventual exit.

It sucks, but the failure rate of a startup is so high that it's understandable when VCs need their successes to make it big.

On top of that, for a founder that ~5m exit may be life-changing. For the investor, probably not.
The word you’re looking for is “cheaper,” not “accessible.” Those 1x1m elevators certainly aren’t accessible for wheelchair users. ADA requirements require the following minimum dimensions for an elevator:

“The width of the elevator car is a minimum of 80 inches (2030 mm). The depth of the elevator car measured from the back wall to the elevator door is a minimum of 54 inches (1370 mm). The depth of the elevator car measured from the back wall to the control panel is a minimum of 51 inches (1291 mm).”
This is as empty as saying trade unions caused it. Does Japan not have MBAs? It's all about comparative advantage.
Ok, that's the marketing spiel, but how does this differ from a regular microwave?

So? These (kitepower and skysails, but there are more) are long standing 'competitors' of Makani, all existing for far longer than 2020 when Makani went down. Just because Google gave up, not everyone else also gave up. I mean, Google also stopped Google code, groups and google+, yet similar products are still triving.
Reading their copy and looking at the photos I was pretty sure it was microwave based since that was the only thing that fit with it heating "evenly throughout," the bland colors, and lack of any burning or charring. Given this, I wonder how the flavor will turn out in these dishes. Traditionally microwaving fish and steak aren't the tastiest ways to prepare them, but maybe the improved control solves that problem somewhat?
Presumably the new bitcoin ETFs allow shorting? Taking a big short position before crashing the value sounds like a plausible attack.

The "article" merely consists of the headline and a photo, but I have to wonder if this affects their appliances. I was in the market for a new dishwasher, but after seeing that the "highly recommended" Bosch units require corporate surveillance for half their functionality, plus they still don't have a heating coil to dry dishes, I decided to just fix the leak in the old one. The racks are starting to fall apart and it doesn't dry dishes well either but at least it won't cost me a kilobuck for the privilege of hating it. So much for progress!
Hold up....Home Assistant staff has been recently cut in a way that you think the entire thing is likely to stop working in the near future?

That is a very major claim to be making. If that's true (or even plausible) it's a very huge deal. Is there anywhere I could read about any of that?

Somewhat related: I'm surprised we don't see NonZero numbers (NzInts, NzNats, and NzReals, etc). This would seem to avoid a lot of division by zero problems at the type level.

And to Mastodon before that.

Remember when tech Reddit tried to migrate to Lemmy?

A hardcore handful of people migrate await from the Death Star and stay migrated (maybe a couple hundred medium accounts, and 1 or 2 bigger ones), but everybody else trickles back onto the Death Star eventually.

The only thing that works to get people permanently migrated away is complete enshitification of the existing platform (i.e. Digg effect). Partial enshitification isn't enough.

I'd be 100% on board with local control being a minor PITA to enable, as long as it's allowed and supported. I'd even be ok all the way up to needing to reflash the board to allow it.

Making it so that only people who care and are more likely to use it in a responsible way have access is pretty reasonable! Not having the option isn't (in my opinion).
Good on the author, but using a Virtual Private Server skirts very close to not self-hosting. When I read 'self-hosting', I imagined buying/building a physical server and either putting it into a datacenter or running it in your home.

Lately I've been thinking of creating a bare-bones HTML website of my own and maybe I'll run it on a Raspberry Pi at home. I think that would qualify as 'self-hosting'.
Manslaughter??? No, that requires a lack of intent. Once you engage in felony violence against the person an inadvertent kill carries the intent of the original felony. Murder, not manslaughter.

The cops engaged in a bit of street justice. Usually they get away with it, but since it resulted in death on camera they were caught. This is not to say that Floyd wasn't a criminal--he certainly was.

I remember when my mom got to that state when she was dying from cancer. I looked at my wife and told her that, when I'm at that state, feed me pain killers to move things along. (I didn't do that with my mom because she expressly told me that she didn't want euthanasia.)

But, when someone is in that state, is speeding along the inevitable really euthanasia? My mom was find with painkillers, even if they shortened her life by a few hours. I understand that the living need more time. (I wish I had more time with my mom.)

Google is just another big software company with solid pay and benefits. There is nothing quirky, unique or special about it otherwise. My Googler buddies describe their work as pedestrian and while Engineers still retain more power than the average company, this is counterbalanced by upper management incompetence which destroys/misaligns most good initiatives leading to a lot of work being done with limited results.
Give him a pen an paper to lay out the rules of the game - it’s great practice to sort out the tasks and elements required to design a game and/or program - slowly introduce him to programming simple stuff like minesweeper and game of life… if he holds interest he will work his way into a game engine. Kids think a game is saying - it should be 3d and jumpy/shooty with a pink weapon that makes a ‚preff‘ sound… use this motivation to show them what planing - working hard towards a goal means.

Riffing on your last remark, the federal labor statistics list of Ohio occupations with the highest location quotients (prevalence in that area divided by prevalence of the same occupation nationwide) still shows machine tools related professions near the top.

Pff, I love Patreon and I feel like that is basically "micropayments that actually work". If you look at Scott McCloud's original proposal for micropayments ([1], parts 5/6), the only thing that's really not viable is the idea that every reader paying 25¢/mo would work - in practice, transaction fees mean that about $2/mo is the minimum viable payment to actually mean something, especially when you factor in that you are not going to get every reader to pay. Luckily it turns out that you can also get some readers to pay $5/$10/$50/mo, or even more.

(Factoring in inflation, that $2/mo now was about $1.12 back in 2000 when McCloud proposed the idea.)

He is making up a story or repeating one that fits his world view. It is a way to soothe himself after having previous notion upset (the racists at Ellis island changed people’s names).
This depends on what he means by "used". It could be that it's an English name he goes by, which is perfectly laudable, albeit from an unusual source. I doubt the USCIS officer wrote that down as his legal name on official documents.
The question is more... ok, target a specific location where? Does it actually know where the different food items are on the tray, where is their center and where is their surface, and how each should be cooked separately?

Another concern is building stability, whether or not the actual construction process followed code, whether or not structural maintenance is adequate, & the age of some high rises. Florida recently had a condo collapse. There are many old tall buildings built on shifting water permeable ground in the US.

China has issues with tall buildings as well, particularly in it's river flood plains. It is quite surreal to see an entire high-rise being carried down a river. Look it up.

Edit:

I was unable to find the video with today's search...so here is the video. Apparently there was censorship with the Chinese government over the video.

Yes, and a lot of them introduce features that only later get later standardized into core extensions. Some of them remain proprietary, but it's still useful to have them in Vulkan so that they can be used in special circumstances.
Ah, thanks! It seems to be this one http://www.mmrc.iss.ac.cn/~xgao/paper/jar-gdbase.pdf plus some algebra for adding angles and lengths. As I hoped, they are using oriented angles mod 180° ("full-angles") to get rid of betweenness conditions. They are also using evaluations at rational (I think) coordinates to check that nondegenerateness conditions are satisfied when the data is in general position. This is not as nice as I had hoped for, but certainly no worse than what contestants do at the IMO. And because a bunch of methods are off-limits (congruence criteria, probably anything involving undirected unsquared lengths), I'm not surprised that their proofs are longer/slower than human ones -- they're better proofs.

> those users would be happy to never upgrade anything. It’s no fun to revalidate the semantics in a large project.

Yep, that's why we introduced the LTS service. People may not have noticed before we did away with major releases and changed the version naming scheme, but in the past you had no choice but to upgrade to semi-annual releases with major VM changes, like 8u20 or 7u4 (probably because the name was too similar to patch releases, like 8u30 or 7u5). Now, with LTS, we try to only backport security patches and major bug fixes to make sure that such legacy users get the stability they need.
Seems reasonable if the service is failing due to a transient network issue, which takes many minutes to resolve.

Over the last 2 years, my company has had multiple rounds of layoff with US bearing the brunt of them. All new headcount is in Canada, LATAM and India. India sucks because of timezones and LATAM sucks because of language barriers, but our management loves Canada - cultural compatibility, no language or timezone barriers and Canadian worker is cheaper than even the cheapest US workers. Canada is also opening up its borders big time for "skilled labor", so there will be a downward pressure on wages for a long time.

One of my regrets about the demo is that we paid a lot of attention to showing off our ability to generate high quality Q/A pairs, but not nearly as much to showing what a thoughtful and thorough grading rubric can do.

It's totally possible to do a high quality grading given a rubric that sets expectations! Great implementations we've seen use categories like correct / correct but incomplete / correct but unhelpful / incorrect to better label the situation you describe. We've found that we can grade with much more nuance given a good rubric and categories, but unfortunately didn't focus on that side of things in the demo
