How are the keys in such good shape? My keyboards wear out within a few years on the meta keys, and sometimes particular letters. They typically lose some of the lettering and the plastic is shiny or worn down.

Ehh. The VSE's always been the weakest part of Blender IMO. Not even multithreaded, and IIRC there's some ways it can't integrate with the compositor (requiring intermediate renders), plus time bugs during preview with some types of OGG and MP4 videos. …Still good, but a noticeably frustrating experience compared to a lot of other Blender features.

> EDIT also, since last I used it, the Blender Compositor has gotten a lot better. Dang.

The compositor's always been great. What's changed? It looks pretty much the same as it always did even around the 2.4X days?

I would say Garry's Mod + Lua Scripting / WireMod

Traditional CSS without tools like Tailwind, styled-components or other "hacks" is especially bad at collaboration and evolving from prototypes to large sites or apps, in my experience.
I had to check if that realistic. 40 million gallons at 85 feet is 11MWh of potential energy. At 70% efficiency it would take 16MWh to pump that. That has to be a small amount of energy compared to what ships take for traveling the detour.
Only context I can think of such constraints being beneficial is if the document is only intended for printed (paper) output. Any other (electronic reader device / software for example) use I can think of right now, it's better to have all the bells and whistles of font, style, color, layout adaptations readily and easily available for the end user.

Having posted this article, I must say it's disappointing the number of people who appear to be expressing knee-jerk reactions to the headline alone. I guess anything related to pathogens and public health are a hot-button topic these days and perhaps that's why?

I just found it interesting and exciting to read an overview of where this research is going. The ozone issue is unfortunate, as I was originally very excited to read the results showing no direct impact on skin or eyes, but then that aspect does put a bit of a damper on it. But still, perhaps that can be addressed somehow, or with further study might turn out not to be a major issue, and regardless it seems there will at least be niche applications. And perhaps widespread ones. Anyway, it would be nice if we could engage on this topic with the same spirit of open mindedness and intellectual curiousity as we're accustomed to here.

There's a village here in my area called "Pipes". Every local calls it by this name, but the official name is completely different. There's a legend that there once were 3 old men smoking pipes on their porch who'd greet travellers.

Nearby, there's a village called "Bandits" - same thing, the official name is completely different, and the locals claim the village was founded by 3 fugitives who settled there.

I wonder how widespread is the phenomenon when the official name and the real name used by the locals are completely different (and the real name is usually silly).
This is not a thing that happens in the US, except in disaster-recovery scenarios.

I’m not averse to continuing this conversation but bedtime calls. Check again tomorrow, late, this is an interesting topic and I would very much like to talk more.

Also, as a side issue: I am not in computing or technology at all; I am a physician, an anesthesiologist, in the USA. I like and use computers, but I’m a hanger-on, at best, around here. Some of us like tech, and there are some (not me) who are brilliant programmers.

That's true until is isn't. Complacency's impact is subtle, but no company is actually invincible forever.

I've come to understand that parents who have lost a child often face significant challenges in maintaining their relationship. Could you offer advice for such parents, both for before and after experiencing this tragic event, on how they can stay united and prevent further losses in their lives? Additionally, are there circumstances where it might be healthier for them not to stay together?
This is a very positive trend. I'm glad we are moving away from "2,5 years of updates" e-waste. I might even pick Samsung as my next smartphone (curious about DeX).
> The real power of HTMX and Web Components is that Web Components self-initialize when they get attached to the DOM,

I've run into some problems with the Custom Element lifecycle, though. Not sure how to solve them, because `connectedCallback` is the wrong place for my custom code. The odds are I am doing it wrong (or have a fundamental misunderstanding!)

Basically, lets say I have two custom elements: A and B.

All Bs are a descendant (even if not direct) of an A.

Each A grabs all B children and copies the data out of a specified child of the B, then uses it.[1]

When the connectedCallback for A is executed, the Bs are not yet connected and thus don't show up in a call to querySelector.

I've (sort of) worked around this by having each B, when connected, find the closest A ancestor, and add itself to an array field of that ancestor. A's connectedCallback performs a setInterval with ever-increasing delays until some specific maximum (I use 10ms). The setInterval just redisplays with whatever labels are in the array.

Now, this is probably a stupid way of doing this, and I believe a better way is to use MutationObserver, which I will probably switch to at some point.

However, my point is still: the life-cycle did not offer me some way to hook into A only when all the children are attached to the DOM.

[1] A practical example of this would be tabbed-containers. The <tab-container> shouldn't hold the labels for each <tab-item>, it should get the labels from the <tab-item> itself.

I've been following jpc [0] on the LAION discord since he started building this last year, and it's a very impressive project.

The key here is that the Whisper multilingual ASR model has been trained on a huge amount of data, so its encoder output is a very good representation of the semantic content of speech. This can be used as an open-source, drop-in replacement for the semantic encoder in model architectures like SPEAR-TTS/VALL-E/etc (whose semantic encoders are not publicly available). This is then used to predict acoustic tokens (the output from the quantized/low-bandwidth Encodec audio codec) which is then upsampled/denoised/enhanced with the Vocos vocoder.

I know someone is working on Hindi but it would be great to see this extended to other languages for a properly open-source [1], multilingual TTS platform. I think the main bottleneck at the moment is finding people who can procure/clean compliant datasets.

[0] https://github.com/jpc
[1] jpc/Collabora went to great efforts to ensure that they are only using properly licensed data to train this. I doubt Whisper itself was that compliant, so it's a bit muddy.
I guess it never occurred to me it was fresh water. Can they not just use salt water?
It should have never become "an industry".
> The researchers examined productivity trends in 43 industries — including chemical manufacturing, retail trade, and accommodation and food services…

Given the breadth of this study, two different conclusions spring to mind:

• productivity is up across the board, regardless of wfh; or

• sending the pen pushers and bean counters home and letting the shop floor people get on with their jobs made both more productive!
Those are list prices I believe. The whole system is screwed up because of insurance. Insurers negotiate discounted rates, so if you have insurance, even if your insurance does not pay anything, you'll still get the group negotiated rate. The price you'll pay will be 1/10 of those numbers.

It's a broken system because for a person who does have insurance, they will really try to charge you the full $30k. But there's a reason for this too. Most people who don't have insurance are too poor to pay anything, and once the hospital has documented that, they can put their costs to a government "uninsured patient" fund.

It's a classic case of government intervention that is well intentioned but misguided and ends up messing up all the economic incentives. There are also a lot of really slimey and manipulative people floating around in the system, exploiting its brokenness.

Clockspeed is influenced by design choices. ARM can't just crank up the clock speed to match Apple's chip.

Another thing I'd like to see is perf/watt.
Apple lets their CPUs and GPUs run at a higher max frequency/power draw, but you're absolutely right that in clock-to-clock performance they're only marginally better in both CPU and GPU performance.
Briefly, before I requested they deleted it all(GDPR jurisdiction).

They had logs of pretty much every website I'd been to going back several years.

Fucking creeps.
> Crypto has no fundamentals, do not pay out dividends and only resemble ponzi and pyramid schemes.

Incorrect. Ethereum has a lot of utility, has chain revenue (txs fees), and you can stake your ETH and generate yield.

Based on the end of your statement I think you're letting your bias get in your way.
> Citation needed. Perhaps elite strategists look at such a viewpoint, but few politicians and almost no voters look at it those terms.

“In the final stretch before Iowa’s caucuses next Monday, the former Republican president has repeatedly suggested that Democrats are encouraging migrants to flow into the country illegally in order to register them to vote in the 2024 election.” — https://apnews.com/article/trump-migrants-border-voter-fraud...

When you read the article it is clear that the fear expressed is democrats are doing things to get illegal immigrants to vote (voter fraud etc), and it is only really a fear because they will vote for the democrat team.

Now, I will concede that it isn’t clear from the propaganda that either the people saying these things or the audience believe it, but it is absolutely being said.
Good circulation definitely helps, but it's not a panacea, unless very well designed. I recall a case from the early covid days where contact tracing showed a bunch of people catching it in a restaurant; it turned out what they had in common is that they were all downwind of the carrier from the relevant HVAC vent.

Some restaurants retrofitted fancy setups with individual vents or even partial center enclosures for each table, but obviously that gets quite expensive, especially compared to a UV bulb.

I do generally agree with you though that proper circulation and filtration can be very beneficial in limiting spread of pathogens.

In most companies option B has been on the table for a very long time and they most probably partially took it while asking their workers to keep coming to the office up until recently.

CS is the running joke, but server management, manual data processing, moderation etc. have been prime candidates for outsourcing for a long time.

The reason one's job is/was not outsourced has I think little to do about whether general remote work was an option or not.
And also heavily used in non-oss drivers.

DMA blocks can only do so much when the (often older but still well used) APIs don't map well to the synchronization required - either allowing the user to immediately free and/or reuse the buffer used to pass in data (so likely requires a synchronous CPU copy to a staging area before the API function returns), or direct memory mapping of resources. Putting either of those in the cache is often wasteful, as it's unlikely for any line to be re-used before being flushed anyway, then passed over to the GPU DMA block to do whatever asynchronously.

And there's also non- device driver use cases - I've seen image processing libraries intentionally skip the cache if they know they're not going to be touching the data again for some time, and the data set itself is large enough. I assume other users exist, I just see those as I work on GPUs, and images are a big source of large data sets.

WC allows these to avoid clobbering the cache while having at least some chance of using the memory/pcie bus effectively.
I read the article, but I still don't understand the purpose of this. If you want to save an HTML page as a single file, you can choose the .mht format by clicking "save as single file" in your browser.
If you clock CPUs low enough, many CPUs in the past could match Apple in clock-to-clock performance. This is because clock speed does not scale with performance.
This is not what I want to happen, but I have to think the American tech worker gets screwed in the world where remote work is the norm. If you make the labor market global, there's a lot of really smart Europeans who will work for half or a third of what American devs will. Can anyone refute this line of thinking? I'd love to be wrong.
My then eleven year old and me built one in Godot. I can not recommend it enough.

The fact, that you can get to something, that has graphics and sound quickly, is just awesome.

That it is beyond being an obvious toy (like Scratch) but used by grown-ups to make real stuff is a form of motivation you should not underestimate. I showed my daughter the Tesla app as an example, which was made in Godot back then.

Finally, GDScript is similar enough to Python, that it will facilitate learning that later, I hope.

We started this almost two years ago and came to a playable result quickly. We are still working on it to eventually publish it on the app store.

Which is why you probably keep making up that straw man no matter how often I explain to you that everyone is reponsible for THEIR actions. There is not some kind of "war" package with shared responsibility. That is sophistry to sweep actual war crimes done by actual people under the rug.

At the point where you're writing stuff like this, maybe the thread has outlived its usefulness? This isn't going to get resolved here, and you're both writing on a 7-day-old story that nobody is reading.
> And honestly, at this point crying feels good. Crying isn't really when I feel like I'm suffering the most

Although I have not experienced anything even remotely as horrible as what the author has, I can still relate to this. I've been exposed to enough frustration and injustice over long enough periods of time that I can't cry about anything anymore. Last time I cried, I must have run out of tears mid-way through because I actually started chuckling at my own misfortune. I guess maybe my problems are in fact trivial in the grand scheme of things.

The canal is connected to a natural fresh water system. You can't just pump salt water in there without risking a massive ecological disaster.
Maybe?

I'm in one of these offshoring countries (South Africa). All I've seen lately is a ton of remote jobs are now limiting themselves to remote within the country or region, not even timezone-aligned. Hard to find EU/UK remote work that doesn't lock me out. I see the same with US-only remote work.

The result is also that local salaries have started going down again, in spite of the high inflation. There's no pressure anymore to pay better, when the foreign companies with real money aren't buying your employees anymore.

Not saying it's all completely dead and no companies are hiring abroad to here, but right this second, the remote dream seems to be shrinking. If anything the offshoring will be more traditional with setting up office in the locale and paying local salaries.
